MEDFORDUtS&TRIBUMI SIPODITOS Comets Post 1st Triumph Over Ashland 26-13, In Crater Homecoming Game Central Point The Crater high Comets, blazing up and playing "tremendous ball," treated grads to a jnper Home coming Friday night by flashing to their first football triumph over tho Ashland Grizzlies. Outshining the Lithia eleven over the distance, the Comets nevertheless had to bust a half time deadlock to gain their 26 to 13 verdict. Crater had been fpurned on four previous tries In rivalry dating from 1951. Fi day's scuffle was a non-league ard non-district game. Diving from their own '28, the Central Pointers hit the pay zone 12 plays fater the opening kick-off. Jack Lilly went over from two yards out on fourth down. Ashland, not to be out done came right back with a 55 yard promenade and in 11 plays scored from the seven yard line with Harry Johnson packing the ball. That made the first quarter score 6 to 6. Ashland jumped into tempo rary lead in the second chukker when, with Crater seemingly goalward bound, George Juve- land fumbled. Johnson snatcnea the ball .and ran 78 yards for a touchdown and booted the con versions. Lock Intercept The Lithians threatened short ly when Lance Locke intercept ed a pass to put the ball on the Crater 30. But Roger Seaman popped on a fumble on the 37. From there the Comets marched to the goal. It required nine plays with Don Goyette going the last three and Juveland run ning the extra for a 13-all knot. Lilly's run from the Comet 40 C. Mack Leaves Hospital After Fracturing Hip Philadelphia (U.R) Connie Mack, the grand old man of baseball, was discharged Satur day, from .Presbyterian- .hospital three weeks after he fractured his right hip in a fall at his apartment home. The 92-year-old former owner and manager of -the Philadelphia Athletics was taken home in a ambulance accompanied by a pri vate nurse. He was in good spir its and his physicians, Dr. Liar ion Gopadze, said his condition was "wonderful" for a man his age. Mack fell while taking his reg ular afternoon nap on Oct. 1. He underwent an operation on the hip four days later. He con "tinued recuperating despite an other fall from his hospital bed several days ago. Mack suffer ed a cut nose in the second tumble. to the Ashland 15 was the big gain of the drive. A fourth down gamble . paid dividends in the way of Crater's third touchdown. Crater had ta ken the ball on its 17. The Com ets got out to the 48 with the aid of eight and 13-yard pass plays. They had fourth down and 2V4 yards to go. They chose to run and Lilly broke loose for 52 yards to score. Harsh Recovers Fumble In the last quarter Ashland fumbled and Mel Harsh recov ered on the Grizzly 29. It took eight plays to reach the three yard line where on another fourth down situation Harsh jump-passed to Gordon Tidwell for a score. Goyette ran the conversion. Crater outgrossed Ashland 316 to 224 in yardage and bad 14 to eight first downs. Coach Leonard Warren said the entire Comet team played tremendous ball. The line was charging hard and well. Among the backfield men Goyette ran up a total of 168 yards in 13 carries, Juveland contributed some great blocking, Harsh at the quarterback was faking ex cellently and Lilly played his top game of the year. Warren, who is a graduate of rival Ashland high, said that there was no question about the Comets' desire to win. "They were certainly ready," he re marked. The Comets were without the services of regular Tackle Dick Davis. He reportedly tripped on a loose shoe lace, fell and turned an ankle while lining the field for the game Friday afternoon. Arnett Leads USC To 33-6 Win Over UC Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) Sparked by the brilliant running and passing of halfback Jon Ar nett, who scored three touch downs, the University of South ern California Trojans rolled over the hapless California Bears, 33-6, in a Pacific coast conference game Saturday be fore 51,000 fans. Arnett, putting on another of his great bids for all-America recognition, was the sparkplug that pulled the Trojans together for a last-half route after they had been held to a 12-0 margin in .the first half. He got strong help from guard Orlando Ferrante who spent most of the afternoon in the Cal backfield, either, smashing down blockers or tackling the ball-packer himself; and from second string fullback Gordon Duval, who ran 58 yards for one touchdown and set up another with the 24 yard return of a pass interception to the Cal 10. It was the fifth straight time that USC has whipped Cal. Arnett scored the first touch down in the first quarter on a six-yard end run; he got another early in the fourth when he scored from the four after pack ing the ball most of the time on a 78-yard march in 13 plays. Arnett scored again from the six after the pass interception by Duval in the closing minutes of the battle. Arnett now has scored 71 points this season, 61 of which have been scored in conference play. Wyoming Upsets Utah, 23-13, In Homecoming Salt Lake City (U.R) Pow erful Wyoming unleashed a bar rage of battering backs and some rugged defensive play Sat urday to upset Utah 23-13 before 20,566 homecoming fans in Ute stadium. The hotly contested battle be tween the two Skyline confer ence powerhouses saw the Cow boys gallop to a 10-0 advantage in the first half and then thwart the Ute attack in the second half to hand the Redskins their first conference loss. Cowboy Joe Mastrogiovanni accounted for all of the 10 points in the first half to lead the in spired Cowboys to their greatest victory of the season. CAT JAYVEES WIN Newberg (U.R) Willamette's Junior Varsity defeated George TTftv fnllArfA A-0 i n o fM-tViall game Friday. Ducklings Schedule Three Games; Two With OS Rooks University of Oregon, Eugene " A pair of gaies with the Ore gon State Rooks and a single contest with Washington State's freshman at Pendleton is the 1955 schedule for Coach Jerry Frei's University of Oregon Ducklings. One of the better turnouts k in several years, 80 strong, was k on hand when Frei opened the ..abbreviated frosh drills! limited to 10 hours per week and a schedule of only three games by the PCC. But what the yearlings lack in time quite possibly can be made up in manpower. Heft in , the backfield, which even the Oregon varsity doesn't have in abundance, is evenly matched with some of the fastest high school backs in the state during 1954. Two of the biggest linemen on the squa both Shrine All-Stars, are South Salem's Jerry Walling and Gresham's Jack Stone. Wall ing 'tips the scales at 210 while Stone weighs in at 245. The size of the yearlings even prevails to the quarterback slot 'where South Salem's Herb Juran, 192, and Seaside's Larry Yarnell, 230, are one-two. At 230 pounds Yar nell is second heaviest man on the squad. Reeve On ReVter Another Shrine all-star, the Ducklings have 13, is 205 pound halfback Willard Reeve from North Bend.

Injured in Shrine game drills this summer and lost to the frosh for the year in Coos Bay's all-state' speed merchant Johnny Johnson. Line prospects are plentiful and are giving Frei a tough time to decide. Two good centers are Bob Snyder, 190 pounder from Eureka, California and Med ford's Mike DeVore, 200. Guards . looking good include Bob Heard, 196 from Miami, Florida; Larry Newsom, 191 from South Salem; Gene Fratzke, 180 from Independence; and Leroy Todd, 195 from Van couver, Washington. At the ends, Frei has four good prospects in Bob Grottkau, 195, from Oakland, California; Ron Stover, Vallejo, California; Bob Sturgis, Milwaukie; and Bill Ferguson, Coos Bay. Greenberg Withdraws Seal Offer Cleveland, O. (U.R) Hank Greenberg, general' manager of the Cleveland Indians, last night withdrew his offer to buy the San Francisco Seals baseball franchise because he received "doubletalk" from Pacific Coast league officials. . Greenberg said he expected an answer to his offer within 24 hours, but instead received "doubletalk" and no actual re jection. Greenberg said he was led to believe four of the league direc tors liked his proposal and would act favorably on it within 24 hours. Instead Greenberg said he learned through newspaper stories they planned to table his proposal until the league meet ing in Vancouver, B.C., Nov. 10. Braves Interested Greenberg said he doubted whether he would again try to buy the Seals. He noted the Mil waukee Braves were still inter ested and said he hoped they would be successful in buying the club. He said he did not want to be put into a position where the league might try to pick the best of two offers. Carmel, Calif. (U.R) Claire Goodwin, president of the Pacif ic coast league, undaunted by Hank Greenberg's withdrawal of his offer to buy the San Fran cisco Seals, said the league, had "other offers" for the San Fran cisco franchise. Goodwin refused to express either surprise or disappoint ment over Greenberg's removal from the scene. f "We would have loved to have Hank out here," Goodwin said, "he would have been a great asset to the Pacific coast league." ' Other Offers However, Goodwin ' quickly added: "We have had other of fers." He refused to name bidders other than the Milwaukee Braves for the financially-troubled franchise. A representative of the Braves met with the Seals' "Little Corporation" last week, but Goodwin said that meeting did not give Milwaukee a clear field to purchase the club. Goodwin added that the league will "operate the club (Seals) if necessary," but quickly predicted that when the 1956 season opens "San Francisco will qualify to do the things the San Francisco fans want." Michigan has 5,203 automotive retail outlets, motor vehicle dealers and independent repair shops. RADIATES MAXIMUM HEAT ELIMINATES ROOM HEAT IOSS, SAVES J FUEL PROTECTS AGAINST FLYING SPARKS, ASHES.

The victory all but clinched for the Pirates the District 6 A-2 southern division toga. Now un marred in three district tussles, the Phoenix club has only oft beaten Glendale to play next week end in the division. Fri day's loss was the first in three district scrapes for Eagle Point. ; A 74-yard touchdown run by Delmar Brood on the second play of the game gave Phoenix the jump toward its seventh con secutive decision over the Eagles. The second TD came a short time later after a fumble recovery on the EP 20. Phoenix drove to one foot line and Walt Hurlbut packed the ball into the end zone. Dan Lovett ended a 60 yard drive with a one-yard shove on the first play of the second quarter for the third goal. Kicks PAT's Brood kicked the extra points after all three touchdowns. Only other real threat by either club was on a Phoenix pass to the Eagle five near the end of the second canto. A pen alty set the Pirates back. Eagle Point gave Phoenix a rough tough tangle and the Eagles' heavier weight slowed the Pirates as the game prog ressed. But the home club hurt the EP crew with four pass in terceptions and managed to hold star Fullback Jack Greb in check. He didn't break away on any long runs. The Eagle cause was also hurt when Quarter back Gale Friend injured his arm and missed much of the last part of the game. Phoenix had an 11 to seven margin in first downs with a nine to two record in the first half. Gross yardage favored the Pirates 319 to 135 but the edge was only 74 to 61 in the second half. Offensive Running On offense for Phoenix the running of Brood and Lovett, the quarterbacking of Jim Korth and the line play of Jim Hobbs, Don ' Blankenship and Dennis Bradley stood out. On defense John Garner and Blankenship were the tackling luminaries and Perry Sneed, Hurlbut and Del ford Dean were tough in the line. Greb was the top man for EP offensively despite the Pirates' ability to hold him down.' Dick Wallace was a defensive stand out. VENEZUELA PLAY Caracas, Venezuela W.R) Chico Carrasquel, the Chicago White Sox' brilliant defensive short stop, will begin playing for Caracas in the Venezuelan League immediately but as an outfielder.
