MedfordIITrlbune Hayes Jenkins Gains Fioure Skate Mantle By CHARLES RIDLEY Ugited Press Sports Writer Cortina, Italy (U.P.) Hayes Alan Jenkins, 22-year-old Colo rado dervish, earned America's first gold medal in the 1956 win ter Olympics today when he won the men's figure skating championship. In a superb demonstration of precise skating in icy weather, Jenkins beat out 18-year-old Ronnie Robertson or Liong Reach. Calif., for the title, end ing America's point famine that had-existed through tne iirst j. events of the Olympic program. naviH Jenkins. Hayes' 19- year-old brother, took third place, giving the Yanks a 1-2-3 sweep. This harvest of 19 points raised the Americans' total to 281 points and boosted them from ninth to sixth place in the unofficial team standings. " Robertson's . free skating figures were, termed more origi nal by European experts, but the judges gave Jenkins , a nigner point score on the basis of his. near-flawless execution. Jen kins had opened a lead Sunday in the compulsory figures of the competition. He maintained his advantage with his brilliant ex hibition in the free skating phase that completed the champion ship. Women's Ski Event A Swiss girl and three untir ing Finnish women's skiers won the two other Olympic cham pionships on today's schedule. Madeleine Berthod, Switzer land's "skiing milkmaid," cele brated her 25th birthday by win ning the women's downhill ski race by a record margin over her closest rival. In this event, Andrea Mead Lawrence, Par shall, Colo., failed-in her third I attempt to win a gold medal in Life at Its Best! When you're skiing on the in comparable slopes at Aspen, Colorado-. . . that's life, at itslestl 45 QT. the 1956 winter games. In the women's 15-kilometer cross country relay race, Siiri Rantanen, Finnish mother of four children, overcame a six second deficit on the final leg to provide her nation with a smash ing triumph over Russia's world champions. Miss Berthod, a young farm girl from the western Swiss Alps country, won a gold medal in the downhill event after misfortunes had ruined her chances in two previous slalom races. A leading favorite in both events. Miss Berthod missed a gate and wound up fourth in the giant slalom last Friday and then finished far back in the field when she fell in the special slalom last Monday. Three On Team Sirkka Polkunen, Mirja Hieta mies and Siiri Rantanen com prised the Finnish threesome that covered the 9.3 mile course on the Campo Plain southwest of Cortina in one hour, nine min utes and one second for their victory. Russia's1 team, made up of Lubov Kozyreva, the 1956 Olym pic 10-kilometer champion; Alev tina Kolchina and Radja Kro china, placed second, and Swe den was third. The race was part of the Olympic program for the first time. Nine nations com peted, Romania withdrawing at the last minute. Mrs. Rantanen skied away from Russia's Miss Krochina on the final five-kilometer leg to climax one of the biggest upsets of the winter classic to date. Mrs. Rantanen was approximately 20 yards behind her Soviet rival when she took over on the final leg. No U.S. Team The Russian trio was clocked in 1:09.28 and the Swedes in 1:09.48. The United States did not enter a team in this relay race, a traditional northern European ski specialty. Norway placed fourth in 1:10.50; Poland was fifth in 1:13.20 and Czechoslovakia won its first point in the 1956 Olym pics by taking sixth "place in 1:14.19. fowling JACKSONVILLE JUNIOR LEAGUE Standings: , w.

Although the land may be locked in winter's grip, man, the perennial optimist, is constantly on the lookout for the first signs of spring. And happy is the man when he sees and proclaims his first migrant bird, his first nest with eggs, his first shoot of green, his first blossom, his first insect rising from a mountain stream. Cherished as his beliefs may be, they need questioning. To do it, here's a helping of facts vs. fallacies. Fallacy: Birds have a premoni tion of early spring and spring is on its way when the first mi grants arrive from the south. Fact: Birds cannot predict the weather witness the hundreds of thousands destroyed by storms they fly into during their migrations. More accurately, they are stirred to migrate by the amount of ultra-violet in the sky which seems to affect their glands and that increases as the sun ascends the heaven and days get longer. -, Also, bird migrations are spac ed. Some birds migrate" early, others late. When snow is deep- est in February, look for the first prairie horned larks to ar rive. They will be moving north in full numbers before the end of . the month to reach their northland home to nest and sit on their eggs even before the last snowbank is melted. If you live in the east, then you may see some robins and bluebirds leading the parade . . . in the west, perhaps the hum mingbird. In other sections, the red-winged blackbirds are early. They precede their prospective brides by several weeks to set up territories to the square foot and proclaim with exultant cries: OK-Meee! OK-Meeee! OK-Meeee! Nesting No Indication Fallacy: All right then, winter ends when the first pair of birds have mated and nested and are brooding their eggs. Fact: Not so. Before February is out, the great horned owl will have paired and the female will have laid her almost round white eggs in a. nest usually usurped from a hawk. From the moment the first egg is laid, one of the pair .will be on it constantly to. guard against enemies and the biting cold. After three days, the second egg is laid. But this is far from the end of winter in hold ing their vigil on the nest, some of these birds will be covered with a six-inch fall of snow and perhaps experience the coldest day of the year. Fallacy: Surely then, winter comes when the plants awaken from dormancy. Fact: The skunk cabbage sends out its first spears from partially- frozen swampland in mid-Febru ary. Even before this, brown willow buds will have burst in January pushing out their white furry blossoms; the catkins of alders will droop and grow long in mid-February; and the buds of the elm enlarge long before mid-March. . Mistaken Notion Fallacy: Surely then, we can look for signs of spring from water-dwelling, creatures whose temperatures are more stable. Spring must be on the make when the salmon run is on the urge to push up to the headwa ters to spawn where they were born . . . when insects hatch in mountain streams . ... When trout rise to a dry fly. Fact: Sorry, friend. The com monly-held belief that there is but one salmon run to the stream is. a mistaken notionThere are many;; perhaps a stream may have a hundred in the course of a year. And they may occur any month of the year! As for insects hatching, the stone fly knows no seasons some hatch the year 'round and snow fleas seem merriest when hopping about along snow-covered banks. .

(Copyright, 1956, by Eugene Burns) (Released by McClure News paper Syndicate) Collegiate Coaches Disapprove 24-Second Rule in Basketball By SCOTT BAILLIE San Francisco (U.R) The 24 second rule which now has be come a key part of professional basketball never will get into the college game if the coaches in this part of the country, can help it. A sampling of opinion at yes terday's session of the Northern California . Basketball Writers wound up with the 24-second gimmick drawing a large "zero. For those who are not too casaba minded, the National Pro fessional Basketball Association makei, it mandatory for a team to take a shot within 24 seconds after getting possession of the ball or else lose it to the other side. Coaches Pete Newell of Cali fornia, Phil - Woolpert of USF, Walt McPherson of San Jose State and Howie Dellmar of Stanford are among the coaches who voiced opposition toward making a club hurry its shots. Rule Challenged Newell, whose Bears pulled an eight -minute stall against USF last Saturday "dn a vain bid to halt the Dons' drive toward 40 straight victories, challenged the rule on two counts: - "We don't waat to shoot if we don't want to and we don't want to start an era of zone defenses which would result hi . teams packing around 'under' the bas ket," Newell said.' Woolpert, citing Cal's: freeze, said. "The 24-second rule could be . the worst' by-product of that stall. And if it. were introduced it would penalize the game for Merit Awards To Be Presented At Sports Dinner Portland Special merit awards for "l'ong and meritor ious service to sports in Oregon" will be presented to at least six individuals at the Oregon Sports- writers and Broadcasters' an nual Banquet of Champions Thursday, February 9, at 7 p.m. at the Columbia Athletic club, according to Rollie .Truitt, presi dent of the sponsoring group. The special awards will be given to individuals who do not qualify .for consideration for the Bill Hayward trophy in any par ticular year, but, at the same time, have given large amounts of their personal' time to sports over the years. s ' These awards will be made in addition to the 12 'plaques to be presented to persons making outstanding contributions to sports in Oregon during 1955. The winner of the coveted Bill Hayward award will be selected at the banquet from the dozen men or women receiving awards. Athletes Screened - A small committee of sports writers and broadcasters have no,v screened out the 12 athletes to receive awards from a field of 86 outstanding candidates. Oregon's 1955 "man of the year in sports" will be selected on the spot Thursday evening, Febru ary 9 when a citizens committee of 50 of the state's top sportsmen cast their ballots at the banquet. Leo Durocher, who climaxed his great baseball career by lead ing his New York Giant team to the National league pennant and the world's championship in 1954,. will Jbl the main speaker at the affair following the pre sentation of awards, Truitt said. A large group of the North- west's sports greats of today and years past will aiso De on nana as special guests for the annual dinner.

February 1. 1958 Cherberg Says Outside Influence Factor in Dismissal as Mentor Seattle U.R) Johnny Cher berg, recently fired as Univer sity of Washington football coach, indicated here last night outside influences were a factor in his dismissal. "Could it be I was fired be cause R. C. (Torchy) Torrance was faced with losing control of some of the players?" Cherberg asked during a 22-minute simul cast over a Seattle radio-televi sion station KING. Torrance is a key athletic re cruiter for the school. Cherberg claimed Torrance could have put down last year's so-called "player rebellion" when he first met with the disgruntled play ers. an incident that never may hap pen again." McPherson, speaking for the smaller , schools, summed it up by saying,. "I'll, start voting against the 24-second rule today if . necessary because if ever it went through, the smaller insti tutions like San Jose never would be able to latch onto the type of ball player who can shoot like a pro. The big schools would get them all." . Dallmar declared that the rule "has taken something out of the game as far as I'm concerned." Newell Defends Tactics Newell spoke at length on de fense of his tactics against USF and said that he felt his first responsibility was winning games at California and not los ing to appease critics who were upset thai Cal had not gone down in the orthodox mariner. "When you take the element of trying to win out of basketball I don't want to be in it," the grim Newell said. Woolpert, who 'sat beside him at the end of the dining table, backed his old friend up and once more said the freeze was "excellent strategy" oa Newell's part. ; For a GUARANTEED GOOD USED CAR Before You Buy Be Sure To Look the Lot Over at . . .

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN Torrance could have stopped it "in his apartment or office, wherever he met with a couple of disgruntled players," Cher berg said. He also insisted Harvey Cas sill, athletic director, and H. P. (Dick) Everest, the school's vice- president, could have stopped the controversy last Nov. 21 the first time the players made a formal, complaint against Cherberg.' Takes Advice Cherberg said Cassill, acting on Everest's' advice, informed him not to have his assistant coaches at a meeting where the situation was to be talked over among the players. "Cowboy" Johnny said at that meeting the son of a prominent downtown alumnus buttonholed players outside the door . and told them to ' ask questions and keep the discussion alive. , "I found later the boy who opened with questions and kept the discussion alive had been in Cassill's office just prior to the meeting," Cherberg said. Cherberg said Cassill told him after the meeting "John, you handled yourself admirably. I'm all for you." A Recommendation Cherberg said he would rec ommend the school operate along the line prescribed by Pa cific Coast conference regula tions and not have the players looking beyond the coaches and athletic department for counsel. Both Cassill and Torrance de clined to commont on Cher berg's talk. The station has of fered equal time to any member of the school's athletic depart ment for rebuttal. "I'm here because I believe I'm right," Cherberg said in be ginning his talk. "I don't want anybody to feel sorry for me. please, because football has been really good to me."
