Star right half, Laval Meunier,
bowed out of the Crusader line-
. up, perhaps for the rest of the
season, when he suffered a dis
located elbow but his spot was
expertly filled by Bill Carey,
who shifted from regular duties
' at quarterback and left half.
Carey was ably a-.'sted in the
backf ield by Jim Jones and Dick
Paup, who, however, played
little in the second half.
... Up on the forward wall it was
Gerald Darland, Ramon Elberts,
Alson Geren and John Walsh
playing , outstanding ball and
turning in" ome of their best
tackling of the season.
Jones Goes 51 . '
St, Mary's touchdowned twice
in each of the first three periods.
Each club scored in the final
stanza.
Jones, who did not play a full
half, rambled 51 yards for the
Crusaders first TD and Dick
Paup went 12 yards for the other
first period marker. 'Jones ran
the conversion after the second
TD. Paup, who plays any back
field spot and is one of the most
improved gridders on the squad,
went six yards to the end zone
in the second period. Pruitt got
another score on a 15-yard run
and Darland ' caught a pass for
the extra.
Jones ran 18 yards to the goal
in the third quarter and Paup
dashed over for the bonus. A

Upset Over
Willamette
By UNITED PRESS

a tough 28-13 football decision
over the Chico State Wildcats in
Portland Saturday.
The Pioneers scored in every
quarter and drove to a touch

by freshman Mel Gillett and
three touchdown plunges by
powerful Earl Engebretson were
too much for the Wildcats to
handle.

for the Badgers, completing 6

Larry Lewis
Bout Winner
In Portland
Larry Lewis, Medford state
flyweight champion, blasted out
a unanimous decision over Dar-
rel McQuarry, Portland, Satur
day night in a Portland Police
Athletic league boxing card main
event which proved a real crowd
pleaser all the way.
It was a bout which started
savagely and which saw each
battler trying for a knockout
all the way. Lewis piled up an
edge m the last two rounds to
win the approval of all three
judges.
Loren Christean, another Med
ford PAL boxer, failed in his try
to even the score with Hugh
Williams, Portland. He was on
the short end of a split decision
in the semi-wind-up.
However, Gene Cronin picked
up a Medford win, with a un
animous verdict over Wiley Gib
son, Portland.
Mansfield Loser
Among other bouts, Dave
Mansfield, Medford, lost a ver
dict to Clyde Williams, Portland,
and Roger Hout, Medford, gave
in during the third round and
lost by TKO to Larry " Hepola,
Portlan. Hout appeared to be
fighting a one-sided scrap until
in the second round and he once
had Hepola on the verge of a
KO.
Neither Lewis nor McQuarry
gave quarter in the first round
of their encounter. Lewis was
hurt by a left hook in the panel
but seconds later countered with
a hard smash to the face and
blood poured from ' MQuarry's
nose. It was give and take the
rest of the round with Lewis hav
ing McQuarry almost ready for
a KO blow when the bell sound
ed. "The Portlander was practically
defenseless as the third round
closed.
Lots of Running
On Tornado Drill
Program Today
A lot of running was slated for
the Medford high football squad
today as it began drills for its
Southern Oregon Conference
tangle with Ashland here this
Friday.
Coach Fred Spiegelberg indi
cated that there would be no con
tact work in the afternoon drill
but that' the clubs would work
on passing and covering kick-offs
and punts. Signal were to be
run and wind sprints were to be
in order.
Only two casualties from the
Eureka, Calif., game last Friday
were apparent in the Black Tor
nado camp this morning. Half
back Gary Riley was shaken up
in the game, suffering a mild con
cussion and End Jerry Gatlin
hurt a shoulder.
Riley is to workout with the
squad this week without any
contact drill. He's sceduled to
see a doctor on Thursday to de
termine whether he'll be able to
play against the Grizzlies. Gat-
lin's injury was thought to be no
more than a bruise. It's thought
he'll be okeh for the Ashland
ruckus.

Clark Griffith
From Stomach
Washington (U.R) Clark
Griffith, 85-year-old president of
the Washington Senators and co
founder of the American League,
was reported near death today.
Aides at Georgetown hospital
said Griffith, baseball's oldest
active executive, was in "very
low" condition. They said the
chances of his recovery from a
stomach hemorrhage were "re
mote." Griffith, baseball's "good will
ambassador" and one of the craft
iest traders in the business, was
in the hospital for three days
before he suffered the stomach
hemorrhage Saturday night. He
had been convalescing from an
attack of neuritis when he was
stricken.
Dr. George Hesta, his physic
ian, told reporters late Sunday
night that Griffith's chances of
recovery were "just fair." Hos
pital attaches were more pessi
mistic. The baseball career of the "old
fox" covered 69 years as a play
er, manager and owner. He was
the personal friend of every
president since 1912 when he
started- the custom of having the
chief executive throw out the
ceremonial "first ball" of the
season.
Established Mound Record
Griffith broke into profession
al baseball at Bloonjingion, 111.,
at the age of 17 and went cn to
establish a pitching record that
ranks him among the top 12 hurl
ers of all time. '
In : 17 full seasons of major
league pitching, started in 1891,
he won 237 games and lost 149.
He hit his peak in 1905 when he
introduced the "screwball" to
pitching.
Griffith was pitching for the
old Chicago Nationals when a
group of insurgents left to form
the American League. He was
one of the leaders and joined
the New York Highlanders
now the Yankees as manager.
In 1921, he purchased the
Washington club of the Amer
ican League known as the Na
tionals. As president of the Nats,
he displayed the same craftiness
that had .distinguished him as a
pitcher.
A soft-spoken man with twin
kling eyes, Griffith probably de
veloped and sold more baseball
talent for more money than any
why Ancient Age
All we distill is Kentucky straight bourbon.
We know that bourbon of the finest quality
requires choice grains. That's all we use. We
know it calls for the greatest skill in distilling.
The men who guide the making of Ancient
Age are the most experienced in the industry.
And it takes lots of time. That's why we wait
six full years for careful aging to bring the
quality ingredients to their peak of maturity.

Hemorrhage
one else with the oossible ex
ception of Connie Mack of the
old Philadelphia Athletics and
Branch Rickey. He also served
at the helm of one baseball club
longer than any man except
Mack.
Calvin Griffith, one of seven
adopted children, is executive
vice-president of the Nats, and
is his father's heir apparent as
head of the club. The Griffith
family owns 51 per cent of the
club. . .
