Medford high's combination T
and single wing offensive sput
tered rather than purred in its
first full trial of 1955 but it pro
duced touchdowns near the start
and near the finish Saturday
night and got more than suffi
cient help from defense and
breaks to carry the Black Tor
nado to a 12 to 6 verdict over
Cleveland of Portland at the lo
cal stadium. -
The Tornado touchdowned on
a 48-yard surge in the first quar
ter and an 83-yard , ramble in
the fourth with spectacular
plays helping both times. Cleve
land got its TD in the second
stanza bursting over the goal in
two plays after a fumble recov
ery on the Medford 21-yard line.
The Indians reached the Tor
nado end zcme on two other oc
casions but penalties erased the
efforts.
Fullback Dave Bosworth scor
ed both Medford TD's on short
g3 thrusts and Fullback Dave Gra
ham zoomed 16 yards for the
Cleveland score. Both clubs
muffed their conversion oppor
tunities. First Game-Itis .
First game-itis, a not unusual
malady of inexperienced prep
aggregations, afflicted both
clubs, Jitters, fumble-itis, incon
sistent offensive precision, pen
alties, and early injury to a
couple of mainline backs ham
pered the Black Tornado In its
season starter. But there were
flashes of good football, some of
it spectacular, which gave both
coaches and fans confidence
that with a little more tuning
the Medford eleven can be
ready to roll.
The Tornado piled up a siz
able edge In first downs and

to four for Medford. Net yards
from scrimmage for the home
team totalled 263. Medford de

It took seven more plays with

tried to run the extra point with
Bosworth being stopped short

tug of war for the future serv
ices of U. S. Tennis Champion
Tony Trabert of Cincinnati de
veloped today among two pro
tennis promoters and a business
firm, that will permit Tony to
combine business with pleasure.
Trabert now stands as the
first man to win three major
tennis crowns Wimbledon,
French, and American in one
year since Don Budge won those
three and the Australian title,
too, in 1938,
Shortly after his sensational
triumph over little Ken Rose
wall of Australia, 9-7, 6-3, 6-3, in
the finals Sunday, the 25-year-old
slugger became the hottest
commodity in amateur tennis.
Rosewall went down in straight
sets as had his Aussie teammate,
Lew Hoad, in the round before
him on Saturday.
Personal Vengance
Trabert thus scored a measure
of personal vengance for the 5-0
Davis Cup defeat hung on U. S.
forces by the Australians and,
in the victory over Hoad, wiped
out his one singles defeat in
Davis Cup play.
Shortly before Trabert enter
ed the center court to open
against Rosewall, Doris Hart of
Coral Gables, Fla., climaxed a
so-so season by winning her sec
ond straight U. S. women's title
by whipping Patricia Ward of
England, a 145 pound, part-time
secretary, 2-4, 6-4, 6-2.
Trabert was in a good spot
as far as pro tennis was concern
ed with Pancho Gonzales and
Jack Kramer both anxious to
sign him. .. - .

Play Called Back
Halfback John Bellack crack
ed over the goal on the next play
but an offside infraction nulli
fied the play and set the Tor
nado back to the six-yard line.
Bosworth gained back to the
two and Quarterback Dick Mc
Laughin sneaked to the six-inch
line. Then Bosworth plunged
through the middle for the
score. "
- A muff kept Dick Copple from
getting off a kick for an extra
point but Cleveland was offside
and the Tornado got another
chance. A bad center snap pre
vented a second kick.
Cleveland got its chance to
even up the contest midway in
the second panel. Knight punted
from his 45. Medford receiver,
Halfback John Hawley fumbled
and Tackle Dick Alper, Cleve
land, recovered on the Tornado
21-yard line. Halfback Bob Cob
lens went through the middle
of the line to the 16. Graham
struggled through his right
guard, shook loose and went
across the goal standing up.
The ball was fumbled to pre
vent a Knight conversion kick
and the score stood 6-all.
Clock Haiti Drive
In addition to the scoring se
ries, offensive drives took the
Black Tornado to the Cleveland
28-yard line in the first quarter,
to the nine in the second and to
the 19 in the third.
Time ran out to halt a big
Medford threat which produced
one of main thrills of the con
test near the end of the second
period. Medford got the ball on
downs on its own 30. Bellack
on the first down tossed to Haw
ley who almost got away for a
touchdown. As it was Hawley
went all the way to the Cleve
land 17 for a 53-yard gain, long
est of the night.
Tribe Back Jerry Halvorsen,
who brought Hawley down, al
most didn't get the opportunity.
End Dick Copple nearly blocked
him out of the play but the
Clevelander's momentum sailed
him square into the back of the
Tornado ball carrier's legs.
Two running tries by Bellack
had the ball on the nine when
the halftime signal blared.

Three miles from here she ran

Middlecoff
Triumphant
In Cavalcade
Scotch Plains, N. J. (U.R)
You could call it "the $10,000
chip shot," because that's what
a dazzling 50-footer on the final
hole was worth to Cary Middle
coff in the Cavalcade of Golf
tournament.
The divot-digging dentist from
Memphis, Tenn., would have fin
ished in a tie with Slammin'
Sammy Snead of "White Sulphur
Springs, W. Va., if he had taken
a par five on the 72nd and last
hole at the Shackamaxon Coun
try Club course.
But Cary's chip shot rolled
into the cup for an eagle three
and a final total of 276 strokes,
four under par for the 72 holes
and two strokes better than
Snead at 278. Snead earned
$5,000 for second place, but.it
was a disappointing finish for
Sammy, who had started the day
in a three-way tie for the lead.
Snead, Freddie Haas of Clare
mont, Calif., and Gene Littler
of Palm Springs, Calif., were
tied for the lead at the start of
the final round. Snead shot a
one-under-par 69 for his 278
total. Littler went one over with
a 71 and wound up in a tie for
third-place at 280 with Gardner
Dickinson of Panama City, Fla.',
who closed fast with a 68, and
Jerry Barber of Los Angeles,
who shot 70.
Haas went two over par with
a 72 and dropped all the way
into a tie for sixth place at 281
with long-hitting George Bayer
of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Opener
the Indian -22 in the third stan
za and the big flankman made
it all the way to the Medford
end zone. However, the Tribe
was charged with clipping and
tne pass netted only su yaras
after the 15-yard penalty put
the ball on the Medford 48.
Cleveland then bogged down
and punted from the 4J.
The Indians got the ball on
the Medford 35 on Ralph Kes
ter's fumble recovery one play
before the third period ended.
On the second scrimmage ma
neuver of the final canto Half
back Dave Roark burst through
the middle of the line from the
24 and raced to touchdown ter
ritory- But Cleveland was call
ed for backfield in motion and
the ball was nlaced back on the
29. Four plays later Medford
took the ball on downs on its
own 17 and started on the way
to the winning touchdown.
Righ Half Mike Hawkins and
Fullback Larry Gober. who form
half of one of Medford's top
backfield combinations were
lost to action in the first quar
ter. Gober went out first with a
jammed finger and Hawkins fol
lowed with a twisted' ankle.
Both are expected to be ready
to go when the Tornado plays
Gresham here this Friday.
Penalties Hurt
Nine penalties while all of
the short nature nevertheless
handicapped Medford. Some
came from overeagernes but a
number were for illegal align
ment (off-side) in the line. Offi
cials penalized Medford seven
yards for one offside and the
total yards stepped off for the
evening were 47. Cleveland
drew 41 yards for Infractions
which proved more harmful.
Guard Jack Gregory. Mc
Laughlin, Bellack, Tackle Al
Boardman, Guard Monte Hoist
and Hawkins, before he was
hurt, were boys in on a lot of
tackles for Medford. Hoist and
End Maury Butts recovered
Cleveland fumbles.
More than 30 Medford boys
played.
Team finesse will get a lot of
attention this week as the Tor
nado preps for Gresham, Coach
Fred Spiegelberg has indicated.
He said that attention would be
placed on having the ball
' . . ' 1 1 . 1 . XI
snapped io tne uacKS in me
right spot in addition to the
handling and exchange in the
backfield. The head coach
termed' his club "awfully rag
ged and awfully green" but said
he felt the Tornado "is going to
improve in the next game or
so." He was pleased with the
defensive work. Blocking ,is
among fundamentals that will
get emphasis this week.
Picture taking for the school
yearbook preceded the drill this
afternoon.

Wild Pitch
Chanccc; Tribe, Yankees Divide
By FRED DOWN
United Press Sports Writer
The wildest American league
pennant race of 'em all may
have been decided by the most
costly wild pitch in 51 years.
Thrown by Ed (Whitey) Ford,
the errant pitch enabled the
Cleveland Indians to split Sun
day s momentous doubleheader
with the New York Yankees and
put them in a position where
they probably can win a sec
ond straight flag with only six
victories in their remaining 11
games.
Hoot Evers scored from third
base with two out in the eighth
inning as the pitch skittered
past catcher Yogi Berra and
that was the run that gave the
Indians a 3-2 triumph after bow
ing, 6-1, in the opener. As a re
sult, they maintained their IVi
game lead over the Yankees, a
ZVz-zame edge over the Chicago
White Sox and a six-game bulge
over -the Boston Red Sox.
Yanks Need Eight Victories
Thanks to Sunday's split, the
Indians can finish the campaign
with a 94-60 record by winning
six of their last 11 games. To
tie the Tribe, the Yankees would
have to win eight of their last
12, the White Sox would have
to take 10 of their last 13 and the
Red Sox would have to sweep
all 13 of their games.
Ford carried a 2-1 lead into
the eighth frame but with one
out served up a home run ball
to Bobby Ayila that tied the
score. Jwers loiiowea with a
double and Al Rosen was pur
posely walked. Ford induced
Larry Doby to hit into a force
play at second base but his 1-0
pitch to Ralph Kiner was the
wild one and Evers dashed over
the plate,
A crowd of 65,310 saw south
paw Tommy Bryne spit a four-
hitter and the Yankees route
16-game winner Early Wynn in
the opener,
Frank Sullivan became , he
league s nrst 18-game winner
when he pitched the Red Sox
to a 6-2 victory but the White
Sox bounced back in the second
game with a 7-2 triumph,
Hoeft Gels Shutout
Southpaw Billy Hoeft pitched
his seventh shutout and 16th
victory to give the Detroit Tigers
an 8-0 victory but Ted Aber-
nathy's four-hitter earned the
Washington Senators a 1-0 win.
Kansas City and Baltimore also
split, the A's winning, 4-3, and
the Orioles coming back for a
4-2 decision.
Johnny Klippstein missed the
National, league's second no-hit
ter of the season on Pee Wee
Reese's ninth-inning single as
the Cincinnati Redlegs downed
the champion Brooklyn Dodg
ers, 9-0 and 5-3.
The Milwaukee Braves down
ed the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-4
and 9-1, Eddie Mathews hitting
a grandslam, ninth-inning hom
er in the opener and Humberto
Robinson pitching a six-hitter in
the nightcap.
In single games, Ernie Banks
and Willie Mays each hit his
43rd homer as the Chicago Cubs
beat the New York Giants, 7-5,
and the St. Louis Cardinals de
feated the Pittsburgh Pirates,
6-5, with Larry Jackson picking
up his sixth win in relief.

By LEO H. PETERSON
Richmond, Va. (U.P.) A wide
open field which includes five
former winners, six British ama
teur champions, and six mem
bers of the Walker Cup team,
teed off today in the first round
of match play in the U. S. Ama
teur Golf Tournament.
The rolling, 6,713-yard par
35-35 James River course of the
Country Club of Virginia fig
ured to take quite a beating, if
sub-par practice rounds are any
indication, but despite all the
name players there was no out
standing favorite.
The week-long gruelling grind
for the championship was as
wide open as any amateur tour
nament in recent years. There
is no defending champion be
cause Arnold Palmer, who won
it last year, turned professional
as did Gene Littler, the 1953
titleholder.
All Have Chance
Any one in the field of 200
had a chance. Among those who
figure prominently are those
five former amateur kings
veteran Chick Evans, who won
the title the first time in 1916
and then again in 1920; Richard
D. Chapman, the 1940 winner;
Ted Bishop, who took it in 1946;
Willie Turnesa of the famous
golfing family who won it twice,
in 1938 and 1948, and Charley
Coe, who captured the title in
1949.
Chapman and Turnesa also
have won the British Amateur
as have Robert Sweeny, the run
ner-up to Palmer last year, Lt.
Joseph Conrad, Harvie Ward
and Charley Yates.
The Walker Cuppers in the
field are Bill Campbell, Billy
Jo Patton, James Jackson, Bruce
Cudd, Ward, and Conrad.
Ward, Conrad, Cudd, Bishop,
Turnesa, an Yates were among
the 56 golfers who drew first
round byes.- In all, 72 round
matches were listed for today,
starting with James Hickey of
Pocatello, Idaho, facing William
Randleman of Hunting, W. Va.
