In addition, he also was chos en this week to receive the Heis man and Maxwell awards as the "Outstanding College Football Player" of 1955. Top Defense Ma "You can compare this kid to the greatest ever and you wouldn't be over-estimating," Hayes said at a luncheon this week. "He's a great blocker, too, arsfl on defense you just don't throw the ball unless you want him to intercept it." Cassady's nearest rival for Back of the Year honors was All - America halfback Jim Swink of Texas Christian uni versity, with 65 votes while Notre Dame quarterback Paul Hornung was third with 18. Earl Morrall, Michigan State quarterback, finished fourth in the balloting by ' sports writers and broadcasters with 16. Half back Tom McDonald of unbeaten-untied Oklahoma and quar terback Gedcke Welsh of Navy were tide for fifth with 12 votes each. Halfback Jon Arnett All- America from Southern Califor nia, received 11 votes and half back Ed Vereb of unbeaten-un tied Maryland drew six. Tornado in Klamath Sessions College Football Attendance Rises Over 1954 Season News York (U.R) College football attendance rose 2.7 per cent nationally this year despite a 9.9 per cent drop in the East where snow and rain dampened -the enthusiasm of all but the hardiest old grads. The United Press' annual sur vey of home attendance at 123 colleges revealed that 13,311,330 fans turned: out for 578 games this year compared to 12,961, C99 in 585 games last season. The average attendance per game was 23,030 in 1955 against 22,156 in 1954. The West showed the greatest gain 12.1 per cent over 1954 and attendance was up 10.3 per cent in the South. The Midlands reported a 5.6 per cent rise, the Southwest was up 3.6 per cent and the Midwest gained 0.6 per cent. That ledt only the East and Rocky Mountains reporting de creases and in the latter's case the figure was based on fewer garries plaj(Sd than in 1954. Uw Mall Tribune Want Ads Eyes of Medford high school basketball fans will be on Klam ath Falls tonight where the Black Tornado makes its season debut along with the three oth er members of the Southern Oregon conference. Grants Pass, Aihland and Medford join with the host Peli cans in the league's third annual jamboree. The. schools will dis play their latest editions of court talent in their first inter scholastic competition of the 1955-56 cage year. Each club will play against each other loop member in one eight-minute period of play, making six quarters of basket ball for the evening.- Order of opposition will be determined by drawing before game time. McLaughlin Hurt The Tornado is expected to be without the services of one play er this evening. Coach Frank Roelandt said that Dick Mc Laughlin pulled a leg muscle in Wednesday's workout and prob ably won't suit down. Likely starting line-up for the new ver sion of the Tornado will include John Foust and Dick Copple, forwards; Mike Stearns, center, and Bob Tisdel and Lloyd Cear ley, guards. Some 14 players will make the trip, with Roelandt expected to fake along a couple of boys from the jayvee crew. ' Grants JPass has reported a probable starting combination of Chuck Weller and Bob Erick son, forwards; Larry Walker, center, and Allen Drews, guard, with the other guard to come from among Owen Winger, Tom Bernet and Chuck Nevi. Ash land likely will have Gene Par ent and Stu Baker, forwards; Phil Sword, center, and Harry Johnson and La n c e Locke, guards. For Klamath Falls.it may be Glenn Moore, center; Cliff Suth erland and Orin Perkins, for wards and Mike Runge and among Butch Kimpton, Donn Taucher and Lee McGill guards. To Experiment All coaches may use various combinations during the eve ning in the effort to determine their base working units and to give most every hoopman a chance to play. Winning will be an aim but the main point is to test all the players possible un der fire and to do some experi menting. Klamath Falls will boast the most height. Grants Pass has some good height and the most lettermen. but one . of the. tall boys.Larry Henderson. 6-5, has been ill this week. Ashland has more returning starters, four, than any other team. Medford goes into the action with only three of its five returning letter men likely to play. McLaughlin, of course, is hobbled, and Ed Reinking is still sidelined by the ankle fracture in football.

Lights Subdue Darks In B Prep Jamboree Jackson County B League bas ketball teams today turned their respective attentions to warm-up scuffles which will prep them: for the conference race opening in January. The turn to non-conference action followed last night's jam boree which saw the Lights out score the Darks 70 to 49 in six full periods of action on the St. Mary's high floor in Medford. Rogue River, St. Mary's and Butte Fall's were on the Light squad. Their combinations came out on the long end of five pe riods of play against Talent, Prospect and Jacksonville. It was a repeat "victory" for the Lights, who formed the Dark side last year. St. Mary's turned in the heavi est scoring, outgunning Jackson ville 18 to 11 and Talent 18 to 8. Rogue River nicked Talent 10 to 9 and Prospect 12 to 7. Butte Falls turned back Jacksonville 8 to 4. Prospect turned in the lone "win" for the Darks with a 10 to 4 verdict over Butte Falls. SM Plays IV Tonight In full-game tangles tonight St. Mary's will be host to Class A-2 Illinois Valley and Prospect will play at Butte Falls. Rogue River will play at Eagle Point, another A-2 school. On Saturday St. Mary's opposes IV at Cave Junc tion and Rogue River is host to Eagle Point. Talent takes on Class A-l Ashland at Ashland. Rogue River, an aggressive, alert quintet with good balance, got the Lights off in front with its nod over Talent. The Bull dogs of Talent had more shots than the Chieftains but they didn't hit except for Jack Bar rett who got three field goals and Rogue River defense hur ried many of the shots. Talent had a chance to tie it in the clos ing portion on free shots but Barrett made one and missed the other. St. Mary's edge over Jackson ville gave the Lights a 28 to 20 lead. The more experienced and poised Crusaders roared out aft er the Redskins, a scrappy crew, dumped in the first bucket. Hit ting from long range and at the Before you do your Holiday Buying, here's... o OVER 50 OF AMERICA'S WHISKY 15 PRODUCED IN KENTUCKY BECAUSE KENTUCKY WHISKY IS THE FINEST IN THE WORLD YET OF ALL THESE FINE WHISKIES, -EARLY TIMES IS THE KENTUCKY STRAIGHT WHISKY KENTUCKIANS OVERWHELMINGLY CHOOSE FOR THEMSELVES.

Jacksonville ral lied after a quint of Crusader reserves entered. Fine Floor Work Prospect displaying fine floor work, passing and shooting in its session with Butte Falls, tied the score up twice at 28-all and 30 all. But two goals by Bill Irwin for the Loggers enabled the Lights to be on top 32 to 30 after three stanzas. Butte Falls took more shots at the hoop. The Crusaders of" Medford pulled the Lights well ahead, 50 to 38 in their action with Talent. Again it was SM ability to hit from long range and free shoot ing which paid off. The Med fordites weren't able to hit well from in close and were tightly guarded under the hoop. Most of the scoring in the mix was on long shots. Dick Paup's eight counters duplicated Laval Meun ier's effort for SM against Jack sonville. A bit more class and better shooting enabled Rogue River to stretch the count to 62 to 45 in the test against Prospect. Pros pect had plenty of fight and con tinued to work the ball well. Butte Falls and Jacksonville brought the points to their final total in a ragged session. PERIOD SCORES: Rogue River 10, Talent S St. Mary's 18.

' Displaying a vigor they never knew existed, the league owners have accomplished these deeds since the close of the season: 1. Transferred the Oakland franchise to Vancouver, B.C.: 2. Sold the San Diego Padres to the Star Tunafish corpora tion. 3. Peddled the floundering San Francisco Seals to the Bos ton Red Sox. Hopper Shifted 4. Shifted Tommy Heath from San Francisco to manage Sacra mento and Clay Hopper from Portland to manage Hollywood. 5. Named Luke Sewell to man age Seattle, Eddie Joost to man age San Francisco and Tommy Holmes to manage Portland. All are former big league managers. 6. Picked home run slugger Ralph Kiner to be business man ager of the San Diego team. 7. Selected Jerry Donovan, president of the California league, to be president and gen eral manager of the San Fran cisco club. With that general realignment and all the new faces, the PCL will be giving a full-scale test to whether baseball of the minor league variety still can be made to pay on the West coast. If the directors' don't make a go of it this year then it is pos sible that some of them will consider throwing in the sponge.
