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.

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.

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. Providing the speed

in the backfield combination
could easily be Gresham's Gene

in the 1955 Shrine game, and a
California product, Charlie Tour
ville, from Alhambra.
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."

Phoenix Takes Rogue Loop
Championship With 21-0
Victory Over Eagle Point
Phoenix Phoenix high cap
tured the Rogue League football
championship here Friday night,
scoring three early touchdowns
and hanging on in a defensive
battle to overcome stubborn
Eagle Point 21 to 0.
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. Pablo Morales and
Oscar Prieto, owners of the
Caracas Club, said Chico would
play the outfield because his
brother Domingo and cousin
Manuel, already are performing
well' as Caracas' double play
combination.
