Gary Riley, Mo. Jiminez,
Phil Sword Unanimously
Selected in Annual Poll
Gary Riley, the transfer who
gave a welcome, healthy lift to
the Medford high Black Tor
nado, Tackle Modesto Jiminez
the "Mighty Mo guy" of the
Klamath Falls line and Phil
Sword, husky stalwart in the
Ashland forward wall, took top
honors in the 1955 Medford Mail
Tribune poll to chose a South
ern Oregon Conference, all-star
football team. They were unani
mous selections.
Riley was one of four Med
ford gridders picked for the first
eleven in the annual vote of
sportscasters, sportswriters and
head coaches in the four confer
ence towns. Klamath Falls
placed three and Grants Pass
and Ashland each one.
Members of the conference
and district champion Black Tor
nado gaining the No. 1 all-star
crew with Riley were End Dick
Copple, the teams placekicking
star and a two-way flankman
and Tackle Neil Plumley and
Guard Monte Hoist, a pair of
tough, rugged dependable scrap
pers, who also played both of
fense and defense for the Tornado.
Klamath Falls placed capable
End Bill Badorek and fleet Half
back David Flipse were Grants
Pass players chosen. Picked
from Ashland with Sword was
Fullback Harry Johnson, an
other sparkling runner.
Slaven, Jiminez Repeat
Slaven and Jiminez repeated
from 1954 selections as first
string all-stars while lolst and
Johnson moved up from their
second team berths of 1954.
The No. 1 contingent of 1955
boasts a rugged and hefty line.
Backfield weight is light over
ell but lack of size is made up
for in speed, shiftiness and
breakaway ability.
Should the all-star line take
the field as a unit, it would aver
age 792 pounds per man, accord
ing to listed weights. Jiminez
tops the avoirdupois at 208, fol
lowed by Plumley at 205 and
Slaven at 200. Sword is listed
at 190.
All four members of the 155
pound average backfield are ca
pable of breaking loose for long
gains. Riley, who came from
Baker to join the Tornado for its
third game of the year, is the
heaviest of the backs at 164 and
has speed and fight to go with
his speed. Flipse, 150, like Riley,
was new to his team this year.
He came to the Cavemen from
the midwest. With McGill, 155,
a halfback like Riley and Flipse,
its a backfield without a quar
terback. Johnson, 152, was a
fullback and half for the Griz
zlies. Seniors, seven of them, domi-

tackle spots, Slaven with 17
points and Plumley with 15 beat
ing out Bob Harshbarger, Klam
alh Falls, and Gary Krause,

pne-point edge over Donn Tau
cher for the first string back
field spot.

Gregory and Backs Larry Gober
and Mike Hawkins on the sec
end team. Hawkins edged Gary

Grid Committee
Has No Changes
In Mind in Rules
New1 York (U.R) The Foot
ball Coaches association rules
committee has "no new rule
changes in mind" and feels that
the present code "is as good as
we could hope to have," Lou
Little of Columbia, the commit
tee chairman, reported Thurs
day. Little said there has been
little agitation for any changes
in the rules of football this
season.
Perhaps the biggest demand
for any rules action, he said, has
been for the placing of a curb
on false starts, more commonly
known as the "sucker shift."
The more liberal substitution
rule adopted before the present
season is "universally liked,"
Little said.
Little said there was only a
smattering of agitation for a re
turn of the two-platoon system,
placing the goal posts on the goal
lines and for permitting players
to run with opponents' fumble
recoveries. But he said these
rules were not likely to be
adopted. ' ,

Pastrano,
Rowan Mix
At Garden
New York (U.R) Willie (Hot)
Pastrano of New Orleans, a for
mer play boy who became the
ring's dancing master and sec
end - ranking light - heavyweight
contender, makes his first start
as a heavyweight tonight against
Joey Rowan of Phoenixville, Pa.,
at Madison Square Garden.
This nationally televised and
broadcast 10-rounder, young Pas
trano's New York debut, should
provide a test for his future,
now that he has outgrown the
175-pound division.'
Heavyweight Rowan, 21, is a
good puncher who knocked out
13 of his 33 opponents. This year
he knocked out Bert Whitehurst
in one round and held explosive
Bob Satterfield to a draw.
Willie and Irish Joey got spe
cial dispensations from the New
York Boxing Commission to
fight tonight. It permitted Pas
trano to schedule a bout for 10
rounds although he will not be
20 years old until Nov. 27.
And it let Rowan sign his own
contract for the fight while man
ager Carmen Graziano was un
der fire. The Pennsylvania Com
mission revoked Graziano's li
cense Thursday.
Willie, who hails from New
Orleans, but now lives in Miami,
is favored at 3-1 because of his
speed and agility. His left jab
and his fancy footwork were
primarily responsible for 33 vic
tories in 41 bouts. A compara
tively light puncher, he knocked
out only eight.
Each will be risking an un
beaten streak tonight Pastrano
13, and Rowan, nine.
Football Player Buys
Only Grandstand Ticket
Pullman, Wash. (U.R) The
rugged individual who pur
chased the only grandstand
ticket on the day of the game to
the Washington State-San Jose
State football game hero last
Saturday in near-zero "weather
has been found. And he turned
out to be a football player him--self.
Washington State officials said ,
the fan was Charles Moore, a 17-,
year-old all-league end on the
Harrington high school 'team.
Robert Smawley, WSC ticket
manager, said Moore was too
modest . to. come forward and
claim his refund but that friends
had given his seat number and
it checked with the grandstand
seat. i " :
