St. Mary's Crippled for RR Scramble St. Mary's high of Medford may be in its most crippled shape of the season Friday when it tussles to protect its lone Jack son County E League leadership at Rogue River. Sidelined this week have been Tony Miksche with a turned ankle, John Walsh with a back ailment and Gerald Darland with sickness. Coach Millard Webb today awaited a doctor's decision on whether Miksche will be able to see duty against the Chiefs. Walsh and Darland are expected to get into the tussle Reserves Do Well Crusader hope for the RR trip, since the Chieftains are expected to fired for an upward surge in the circuit, is in the strength of reserves. At the start of the season Webb had only about four real dependable players There are now about nine on the club upon who he can rely Jerry Flakus and Jim Darland could see considerable service if IVIiksche is unable to play or can ee little action. While St. Mary's is trying to stay unbeaten in the loop, a big battle is billed at Talent -with Prospect playing the Bulldogs. The two clubs are tied for sec ond and the winner could dead lock for the league leadership should Rogue River upend St. Mary'B. The other Friday game in the loop is Butte Falls at Jackson ville.

Perfect Records Placed on Line By UNITED PRESS Two of the only four remain ing perfect records among major college basketball teams will be on the line tonight when Temple and St. Francis of Brooklyn hit the road to risk their 11-0 slates. Temple, ranked seventh in the nation by the United Press Board of Coaches, is a heavy favorite to gain victory No. 12 at the ex pense of Delaware. But St. Fran cis is no better than even money against Seton Hall in a game that wilP probably decide the New York City area champion ship. Temple really will be looking beyond tonight's tilt, because this is just the start of a road trip in which the Owls play five times in 12 days. They go on to meet Navy, Muhlenberg, St. Francis Pa., and Duquesne. College Park, Md. (U.R) New Maryland university foot ball coach Tommy Mont has reached into, the professional ranks for a pair of assistants. Mont announced Wednesday he . has signed former Redskin lines men Jim Peebles and Joe Moss to his staff. Campanella Inks Highest Brooklyn Pact By UNITED PRESS The Brooklyn Dodgers had their fun when they won the first world championship in their his tory and now they're paying the piper in the form of record breaking salaries. Catcher Roy Campanella, the National League's "most valu able player," ranks as the highest-paid "Bum" in history by vir tue of the $42,000 pact he signed Wednesday. And Dodger officials realized today they will have to shell out a lot more money to get their roster all signed. "I've got some more guys to sign," said club Vice-President E. J. Buzzie Bavasi with a wry grin, "including Duke Snider." Snider, clouting star of the World Series when he smashed four homers,- will also command big money and Bavasi still must Medf(dTribune Southern Oregon Squares Series With OTI Cagers Ashland (U.R) Southern Oregon squared its two-game Oregon Collegiate Conference basketball series with Oregon Tech last night by scoring a 69- 66 victory pulled out of the fire in the dying moments. Oregon Tech led most of the way but a free throw by Guy Munsell put SOCE ahead 67-66 and two more free throws by Chuck Crandall sewed it up. Lloyd Hoffine of SOCE led the scoring with 19 points "while four players had 16 Bill Holl- ingsworth of SOCE and Johnny Foster, Butch Whitman and Paul Hatcher of OTT. There were no incidents In last night's game. Four players were ejected from Tuesday night's game in Klamath ; Falls for roughness. Biddington Scores After the Raiders had trailed through the final half, ;Punk Biddington gave them a 4 to 63 lead on a long shot with less than two minutes to play. How ever, Whitman sank two gifters for OTI lead of 65-64. Hoffine swished- a longie for SOC 66-65. Whitman knotted up the game but Munsell made one of two free tries. Crandall grab bed the rebound on the missed IN ASHLAND MIX Yogi Hus sane, the terrible Turk, above, will be a participant Friday night when Texas style wres tling will be seen in Ashland under sponsorship of Ashland Lions club.

In History deal with Carl Furillo and the bulk of the pitching staff. How ever, big money men Gil Hodges, Pee Wee Reese, Don Newcombe, and now Campy are signed. Campanella, winner of the MVP award for the third time in his career, is the first Dodger ever to top $40,000. He batted .318, drove in 107 runs, walloped 32 homers, 20 doubles, and one triple.

N.Y., will be awarded with a fight at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 17 for his hard-earned television victory over middleweight Al Andrews Wednesday night at the City auditorium. Giambra, who came out of the Army on Dec. 9, will fight Johnny Sullivan of England or Gene Fullmer of West Jordan, Utah, at the New York garden, matchmaker . Billy Brown said today. Handsome, black-haired Joey admitted today he wasn't as "sharp" as expected Wednesday night while winning the unani mous 10-round decision over tough, speedy Andrews of Su perior, Wis. Missed Punches The scrap was his first since Aug. 25, when still in the Army he surprised the nation's TV fans by almost beating Carl (Bobo) Olson in a non-title bout. Olson was middleweight cham pion then. Although he missed many punches in Wednesday night's second annual Norfolk March of Dimes boxing show, Giambra won the unanimous verdict with sharp-shooter straight rights to the head. Andrews, scaling 161 pounds , to Giambra's 158, ap peared likely to register an up set in the middle going when his left hooks to the body put the brakes on Giambra's countering attack. But he tired in the last two rounds. Brown-haired Al was an underdog at 13-5. Each is 24 years old. - Andrews suffered a nick on his right brow in the fourth round and a gash on his left brow in the ninth. There were no knockdowns. GP Matmen Top Tornado Grants Pass high wrestlers de feated Medford 41 to 13 on Tues day night at Grants Pass. Medford took three of the 13 bouts.

Cavemen won five matches by falls. In exhibtion3, John Daniels, Chuck Finch, and Jerry Ander son and Walker won bouls for Medford. Dick Fariger's 1760 No. Riverside Phone 2-5868 Cage Fouling Continues in Down Trend New York (U.R) Fouling in college basketball is declining for the fourth straight season, the National Collegiate Athletic association reported today, but this year's drop is "very small. An all-time high for fouls was reached in the 1951-52 season when 44.9 personals were com mitted per game, the report said The figure fell slightly to 42.0 the following year and there was "a sharp drop-off in fouling after the advent of the bonus free throw rule last year" to 38.8 fouls per game. At this time in the present cage season, which is slightly more than half completed, there has been an average of S8.0. No Scoring Drop This decrease in fouls has not caused a drop in scoring, the NCAA said, because it has been accompanied by an increase in shooting. At this time a year ago, each game produced an av erage of 144.3 points; this season it's almost exactly the same at 144.2. The average team sinks 37 per cent of its field goal tries and 65.9 per cent of its free throw attempts. Morehead State of West Vir ginia remains the top scoring team in the major-college ranks with 97.1 points per game, fol lowed by Marshall with 93.1 and Big Ten pacemaker Illinois with 90.5. National champion San Fran cisco, which hasn't played in nearly two weeks, remains tops in team defense with an average of 52.0 points allowed per game, followed by Oklahoma A&M with 53.1 and San Jose State with 54.5. Pro Court Beefs Made By UNITED PRESS Two more protests were headed today for the desk of President Maurice Podoloff of the National Basketball associa tion one from the Rochester Royals and the other from the New York Knickerbockers. Technical foul calls were the basis of both squawks as the re sult of games Wednesday night in which the St. Louis Hawks defeated Rochester, 114-106, in St. Louis, and the Minneapolis Lakers defeated the Knicks, 104 95, in Minneapolis. Warriors Stretch In other Wednesday games, the Philadelphia Warriors stretched their Eastern Division lead to 4V games by beating the Syracuse Nationals, 112-100, and the Fort Wayne Pistons increas ed their Western Division lead to the same amount by nipping the Boston Celtics, 101-100. Player-coach Bobby Wanzer of Rochester said he was protesting the Royals' loss because of a technical foul called against Ed Fleming of the Royals for not re porting to the official scorer with about five minutes to play. Coach Joe Lapchick of the Knicks said he was protesting the Knicks' loss on a charge that Referee Bill Bibel changed his decision on a technical foul call against Minneapolis in the third period. Gary, Mike Head Field Palm Springs, Calif. (U.R) Dr- ; Cary Middlecoff, veteran Lloyd Mangrum and young Mike Souchak headed a star-studded field that teed off here today in the plush $15,000 Thunderbird Invitational Golf ' tournament under cloudy skies. The three men currently have to be listed as the top favorites due to the fact that each already has won a major tournament since the start of the winter tour. But off practice rounds on the beautiful Thunderbird course, Jim Ferrier has to be listed as a definite threat, too. He had a three-under-par '68 Wednesday and, having won this title in 1952, indicates he likes the course.

Hammerin' Hank Greenberg, who clouted 58 homers for the Detroit Tigers in 1938, topped all the vote-getters in the an nual balloting for the hall an nounced today by the Baseball Writers association of America. And Joe Cronin, for whom the Boston Red Sox once paid a re ported $250,000 was right be hind. No other former diamond star was able to gain the 145 votes needed for election this year, so only Greenberg and Cronin will be officially inducted into the little shrine at Cooperstown, N. Y., next summer.- Game Men Plan Repair of Dikes On Rogue Land Oregon State Game Commis sion plans repair soon of dikes in the Rogue Valley Manage ment area on the Camp White reservation along . Rogue river. Three of the five dams were damaged by recent flooding Charles Shepard, district game biologist, stated that repairs will be undertaken as soon as weather permits. Purpose of the dikes is to impound water for general wildlife improvement. Planting Plots Shepard said also that he has trial planting plots in the man agement area in which nine species of shrubs beneficial to wildllife are being tried Of those which prove best adapted more will be planted for food and cover. The biologist made another plea to users of the area to keep it clean. He indicated that people have been cooperating well but that there are still some indi viduals who do not know it is against the law to dump rubbish on property of others without permission. The commission does not permit dumping of rubbish on the Rogue property. Shep ard mentioned occasional abuses. He said that one person was cited into district court this week.
