Columbia river to commercial

The league, which closed its

measure at the last general elec
tion.
Rollin E. Bowles of Portland

NY Conference Rules
Out Post Season Frays
Portland (U.R) The North
west Conference at its fall meet
ing Saturday ruled that member
schools can not represent the
loop in post -season football
games.
However, the ruling does not
halt post-season games if the
contest is a part of a school's
schedule when the season starts
and if it meets other NCAA
requirements. i
The grants-in-aid to athletes
funds were cut from 80 to 75
per cent of tuition but this was
eased by a ruling which lifted
the limit on the number of ath
letes under the program.

Jack Morris, ex-Medford high

back, got some national publicity
out of the recent snow that cov
ered the state. A press service

out. A letter from Gene Thanos,
Medford man attending Syra
cuse university, enclosed the
picture clipped from the Syra
cuse (N.Y.) Herald-Journal.
LOOKS FORWARD TO
RETURN
Thanos, who used to provide
the Southern Oregon college
sports news for the Mail Tri
bune and after that taught
school at Talent . and Ruch,
writes: "I thought you would
enjoy knowing that there are
some people (not very many)
who happen to know that there
is a state of Oregon ... I
thought it (tho picture) was
interesting to ba in a paper
this far away from home."
Thonos continuei: "Have had
many interesting experiences
since arriving in the East last
June. However, I am looking
forward to the day when I
will return to Medford and
the 'good old' West Coast. One
certainly has the pick of ath
letic contests to attend pro
viding he has the money to
pay the admission price. Prices
are usually higher for all
types of events than at home."
WEST STARS DO OKEH
The Medfordite has seen sev
eral professional basketball
games and remarks that the boys
from iut west are doing all right.
He reports that Red Rocha is
a big favorite in Syracuse and
that Bob Peterson and Ken Sears
are going great with the Knick
erbockers. Bob Houbregs and
Ceorge Yardley are the big guns
for Fort Wayne, Thanos stated.
Thanos said that he saw bouts
between Hurricane Jackson and
Ez Charles and between Carmen
Basilio and Gil Turner. He calls
Basilio a "truly great fighter."
He also reported sitting through
a continual downpour at Michie
stadium, at West Point, to see
Syracuse upset Army 13 to 0.
Commenting on Maryland, which
licked Syracuse 34 to 13, Thanos
said that the Terrapins have
"the best balanced team I have
ever had the opportunity to
watch . . . ' Thanos adds the
warning to "ivach out for Syra

SEEKS BASEBALL JOB
Don McNeil, Jackson County
Chamber of Commerce manager,
telephoned the other day and
mentioned a fellow how has his
bid in early to say the least.
Monday. November 28, 1955
By DICK JEWETT
Mail Tribune Sports Editor
The fellow sent a letter from
Atlanta, Go., asking Don to pass
it on to the proper baseball
people. He's after the job of
managing the Medford team in
the Northwest Baseball League.
Whether Medford will be in the
circuit is still uncertain but word
surely has traveled far and fast
that a team is bein'g discussed.
Milt Martin, catcher for Med
ford teams in the former Far
West League, reportedly is
another interested in the man
agerial job should this city ent
er the Northwest circuit. Martin
has been with the Portland
Beavers in the Coast loop, with
Victoria in the now defunction
Western International loop and
with Tri-City in the Northwest.
He resides at Vancouver, Wash.
NOTES ON HOOPMEN
Notes on members of Med
ford's great 1955 basketball
team who are now in college.
Bud Kastner is doing well on
the University of Oregon
Frosh squad. The same for
Larry Copple and Glenn Peter
son on the Rook's roster at Ore
gon Slate college. Jerry Kala
pus is a promising freshman at
Pacific college and Frank
Rector is a good freshman
prospect at University of Port
land. TORNADO TOUGHEST FOR
PIRATES
After the Marshfield-Medford
high football game two week
ends back, Coach Pete Susick
of the Coos Bay club reportedly
remarked that Medford's Black
Tornado was the best club the
Pirates had met or "we're going
to meet this year." Don't know,
definitely what Susick's opinion
was after Marshfield beat Gresh
ah 19 to 0 Friday night for the
state crown but we have a good
idea that the statement of two
weeks ago still holds. Medford
bowed to the Pirates 20 to 6.
SHEPARD CONSIDERED
Larry Shepard, pilcher and
manager of the Medford Dodg
ers pro baseball club in 1948,
is said to be seriously consider
ed for the. post of manager

Jim Lounsberry
Mentor of Year
On West Coast
By HAL WOOD
San Francisco (U.R) His
team has won 18 straight vic
tories and 26 out of the last 27
games but he doesn't expect a
bowl bid.
His club is the only unbeaten
four-year school team on the
West Coast this year.
He is the United Press Pacific
Coast coach of the year.
So meet Jim Lounsberry, head
mentor of little Whitworth col
lege in Spokane, Wash.
At 38 he is the most success
ful college coach in the West
and for his four years as head
coach, probably has the finest
record in the country. During
that time he has won 28, lost four
and tied one.
Whitworth college plays in the
Evergreen Conference that in
eludes schools in the Pacific
Northwest. With an enrollment
of only 850 students, less than
half are boys, it is the second
smallest in the loop. Six of the
schools have from 1,000 to 1,500
students each.
The last two seasons in a row,
the Whitworth club has won the
conference crown without a de
feat. The team has a 9-0 record
this year; 8-0 last year and 7-1
the previous season.

formation both on the league
end on the Emerald club of
the NWL. They are Don Hus
