A-l Playoffs
Spurned by
Two Schools
Salem U.R) Two central
Oregon high schools today
spurned next fall's A-l footbail
playoffs.
Prineville and Redmond said
they would not take part in a
round robin schedule proposed
for a nine-team league. They
will play independent schedules
for at least another year and
will be ineligible for the OSAA
playoffs this year.
District members, meeting
here, turned down suggestions
by the two schools that two sub
districts be formed, one consist
in! ol Bend, 'Lebanon, Sweet
Home, Prineville and Redmond
and the other of Corvallis, Al
bany and North and South
Salem. It was suggested that the
two winners meet to decide the
over-all winner.
James Brown, representing
Redmond, said the school want
ed to keep its obligations in
eastern Oregon with Burns,
Lakeview and Madras.
Keith DeCourcey, Prineville
coach, said Prineville residents
there did not believe the school
should play schools two to three
times its size, such as Albany
and the Salem schools, although
it had qualified for A-l compe
tition with more than 500 students.
Yogi Berra Signs for $50,000;
Highest Paid Baseball Catcher
New York (U.P.) Yogi Berra,
the American League's most
valuable player, signed his 1956
contract today for approximate
ly S50.000, making him the high
est priced catcher in the history
of baseball.
Berra, who batted in 103 runs
last season, hit .272 and de
livered 27 homers, said he "got
a good raise as usual."
'Tve gotten a raise every
year since Ive been with the
Yankees," he declared. "And
every year it seems like it is
easier to get together on my
contract."
Berra said he- saw General
Manager George Weiss at a
sports dinner on Monday night
'"and he made me an offer."
"I told him I'd sit on it,"
Berra added. "Later, I called
him and we agreed on it so I
came in and signed my contract."

TORNADO AT COOS BAY

Despite a previous Medford
high win over the Pirate cagers,
basketball contention between
the Black Tornado and Marsh

first stand of a two-night stay
in the bay area. While tonight's

ford will be favored on Saturday
evening at North Bend.

with the NB Bulldogs than it did
with the Golden Pirates when it
whipped the two coast aggrega
tions here in December. But
Marshfield, just getting started
at that time on the hoop floor
after winning the state grid
crown, has improved since and

Trotters Wow Fans
At Crater High Gym
Basketball plus and entertain
ment deluxe that's the famed
Harlem Globetrotters and their
sparkling road show which is
now touring the Pacific coast
includes also the colorful House
of David contingent and a group
of skillful variety performers.
The Globetrotters appeared
last night at the Crater high gym
in Central Point and proved that
their name is still magic. They
packed them in the spectators
that is and treated the fans to
another of their fabulous dis
plays of court prowess and riot
ous mirth.
It was the first maplecourt
stop of the Trotters in Jackson
county in six years or so but
they had not been forgotten by
valley hoop fans. The Crater gym
was crowded to capacity with a
paid admission of more than
1,300 persons. And those who
were not turned away at the gate
for lack of seats and standing
room more than got their
money's worth.
Four Hour Show
It was a four-hour program
of basketball, music and feats of
acrobatic and juggling skill.
There were five variety acts.
The Globetrotters, in a game
in which the show was the thing
and the scoring a side issue,
"defeated" the top David club '
to play in the Medford vicinity :
in a number of years, 65 to 59. i
But, while the bearded club was i
good, the Trotters gave the im-:
pression that with their court ;
magic they could have made
scoring more onesided.
In another conflict in which
any comedy, contrary to the
main event, was purely coinci
dental, the Yellow Cab crew
downed YMCA 53 to-37 in a
scuffle of Medford independents.
With the Davids as straight'
men for the show, the Harlem
hoop kings, put on a perform
ance of which included fancy
and comic dribbling, sharp shoot
ing, sleight-of-hand, fast, fancy
and baffling passing hidden ball
plays, and practical joking of
which their own referee, Gene
Moyes, as well as the Davids,
was the stooge.
Odd Balls Used
They had him running all over
the court to retrieve the ball
and interfered with his offic
iating with their jumping jack
antics at the free throw line. The
clowning Trotters tossed into the
contest a weighted ball and a de
flated one. And Chico Burrell,
principal comic of the night used
a ball attached to an elastic cord
for shooting a free goal.
As usual the Trotters came up
with a football formation and
dropKicK and a baseball game J
with beefing over umpires calls
and a fancy steal home. Herman
Taylor was the fancy dribbler of
the unit practically lying down
on the floor on one occasion but
slickly keeping the ball away
from a David player. Taylor of
the colored gang and Beck of
the bearded club were the long
range shooting artists.: Burrell
came up with some circus ball
handling and passing along with
mirth producing passing.
Mastery in the tussle was in
dicated by early scores. The
Trotters had leads of 23 to 12
at the quarter and 42 to 26 at
the half.
! Amazing and wowing the
uugc ljuwu win men peiiuilll-
ances were the Havana trio; Ray
Wilbert, hoop artist; Jim and
Yvonne Garner, trampolinists;
and Elimar, juggler and slack
wire artist.
The trio, displayed balancing
acts which required timing,
strength and great coordination
and the two men of the act
shone on the teetering roly poly
with one man doing a handstand j
on the head of the other. Elimar j
did some of his skillful juggling !
while on the slack wire and Wil
bert made his amazing acting
hoops do tricks like jumping
from one long cord to another
and circle a cage before enter
ing it while, rolling on the floor.
Accordionist Gene Giusio,
opened the show.
Yellow' Cab busted open a
tight game early in the second
half. YMCA led 22 to 20 after a
nip and tuck first half. Don
Wendt scored 21 points for the
Cabbies and Roland Thompson
got i: for Y.

Decision Day For CherbergAt U of W
By BILL McFARLAND
Seattle, Wash. (U.R) Today
was D-for-Decision Day on the
University of Washington campus

Holiday Handicap
Holiday handicap golf tourney
play winds up this week end at

a March of Dimes sweepstakes is

system which takes into account
a player's four best rounds. Lee
Flink is leading with 164 points.
Dick Travis has 160 and Larry

against him and demand 'his
ouster last November, was to
meet today with athletic director
Harvey Cassill.
Cassill, who has the power to
fire Cherberg should provide the
answers that will settle, finally
and conclusively, the football sit
uation here."
"Obviously, the present situa
tion requires a very prompt de
termination in the interest of
both the athletic program and
the university itself," Cassill
said.
The athletic director said he
had "kept an open mind" on
the situation, but since the board
of regents acted to retain Cher
berg as coach, the picture hasn't
improved so far as publicity and
campus feeling' was concerned.
He blamed "those damnable;
rumors" for keeping the foot
ball program up in the air at the
university.
The key point to be discussed
between the athletic director and '
the coach is whether Cherberg
has been able, after two meet
ings with members of his squad
to restore harmony on his club.'
This was the main contingency'
made by the regents in Decern-
ber when they renewed Cher
berg's contract for a year.
