Cal Griffith President of Solon CSub Washington U.R) Calvin Griffith, who was groomed for the job by' his foster father, Clark Griffith, took over as new president of the Washington Senators today with the prom ise "to. develop a winning team for the nation's capital." " Calvin, 43 - year - old adopted son of Clark, was elected presi dent by the club's board of di rectors Tuesday in an action that maintained the Griffith family's control over the - American league team. Family Owns 51 Per Cent The younger Griffith had serv ed a3 executive vice-president of the team under the presidency of Clark Griffith, who died here last Thursday at the age of 85. His election as president came on a motion by minority stock holder H. Gabriel Murphy. The Griffith family is under stood to own 51 per cent of the club's stock.

(U.R) The Cleveland Indians today asked. for waivers on Ferris Fain. sig- naling his unconditional release and the end of his big league career. Fain, from his California home, estimated he had the stuff for a. couple more years in the majors, but said he also was highly interested in a berth in the Pacific Coast league. "I hope to hook oa in the Pa cific Coast league as a manager, player-manager or player. Right now I'm loking for a manager s job," Fain said. Fain, 33, spelled his own end in the big leagues, explaining "I've had all I can take of going back East to play." "I would like to get a job man aging San Francisco," Fain said. "They also need a first base man." He announced plans to talk with the Seals' owners "to see if something is available."

The S175,000 edifice, possibly the first building constructed in the U.S. specifically for fights since the end of World War II, iwill be the home of regular Monday night cards plus pos sible national TV shows on Wednesdays and Fridays. "This is going to be a cozy little place," says Ford with par donable pride. "We have built it to seat about 2200 fans with every seat a ringside seat. We have kept in mind that in this age of television that big crowds at ringside are a thing of the past in the fight game except for big-name battlers usually ones involving only a champion." Up-To-Date It is Ford's belief that this will be one of the finest little fight clubs in America and defin itely the most up-to-date. "In most fight clubs the tele vision cameras are placed8 on scaffolds on a temporary basis; and the smoke is so,thick that the cameras have trouble pick ing up the action," Ford points out. "But here we have taken care of that. We have built a special television booth. And we have installed an $11,000 ventilating system that keeps the arena com pletely empty of foul air and smoke." Brennan Chosen coach of Week By United Press South Bend, Ind. (U.R) The old man was there all right. Just as certainly as in the days when the Four Horsemen were the scourge of collegiate grid irons, you could feel the pres ence of the bald Norwegian. But on this occasion on the Knute Rockne memorial football game, the credit belonged to an other and nobody would have been prouder than the legendary Rockne himself. Irish Lad He's the United Press coach of the week, that broth of an Irish lad, Terry Brennan of Notre Dame. When Notre Dame's new sta dium was dedicated in the fall of 1930, Navy's Middies were the opponents and Notre Dame won spectacularly, 26-2. That was when Rockne's sec ond great set of four horsemen, Joe Savoldi, Frank Carideo, Marchmont Schwartz, and Marty BrilL were running wild. Saturday the names were Paul Hornung, Dean Studer, Don Schaefer, and Jimmy Morse. Re member them well. These backs of Brennan's are destined for a measure of fame on their own. Fullbacks Work At Oregon State Corvallis (U.R) Coach Johnny Prothro of the Oregon State Beavers tested new full back material today to replace the gap left by first stringer Arlo Wenstrand, who ris out of action indefinitely with a wrenched knee. Left with only Tom Berry, hero of the Washington" game, the coach began grooming Ernie Zwahlen and Bob Sutton, two re serves who have seen little ac tion this fall. They will spell Berry at the fullback spot. worikr oPyour DISTUUNG CQ... CLERMONT KENTUCKY , J65 Hi FIFTH AhS 1111 !Wt.

November 2, 1955 St. Mary's Girding for in Crew St. Mary's of Medford height ened drills this week as it prep-4 ped for its District 5B title tus sle her on Saturday night with the Malin high Mustangs. The Crusaders didn't have a game last week but they, con tinued right along with work outs to get set for the heftier Klamath county eleven. The Medford crew had two main casualties after its final Jackson County B League mix with Jacksonville. Halfback Laval Meunier suffered a dislo cated elbow and End Jerry Flakus a concussion. Lots of Power It was still doubtful today that Meunier will see action. How ever the scatback resumed con ditioning workouts Monday. He'll probably be in uniform for the game. Against Malin, St. Mary's will oppose a club with lots of pow er. The Mustangs use a single wing offense. They have the size and ruggedness to go with it. But to keep the opposition guessing, they also throw in a few T plays. The Crusaders use both the T and double wing and play a spectacular brand of football which relies much on speed. St. Mary's is defending dis trict champion and won its second Jackson county toga. Malin is successor to Chiloquin in Klamath county.
