February 15. 19561 !V Meatmen Beat Tornado; Roseburg Here Thursday Medford high grapplers lost a 33 to 19 verdict to Illinois Val ley yesterday and prepared to day for a Thursday afternoon tussle with Roseburg. The Tor nado will face the Indians at 4 p.m. at the senior high. A night match 'at Hendrick junior high earlier had been planned. Two forfeitures and the fact pins contributed to the Medford loss yesterday. Each school won five of the tussles actually con tested. Medford had no foe for the Cougars in the 106 and heavy weight brackets and thereby lost 10 rjoints. Gordon Owsley tallied Med- ford's first win in counting matrViPs. ninninS Hemohlll in Battle Lines Clearly Set For Santee New York (U.R) The battle lines were clearly drawn today in the fight over Wes Santee's amateur standing, with the Na tional AAU apparently ready to suspend him forever and Santee set to fight back with a lawsuit, i that IV won more matches by Santee, the fastest miler in American history, frankly ex pects the AAU will suspend him in a special meeting here on Sun day. And that means a lawsuit, Santee's attorney, Charles P. Grimes; made clear in a state ment yesterday. At stake would be the twin dreams of Santee's life, a chance to run in this year's Olympic Games in Australia, and a chance to be the first American to run a four-minute mile. Whether the AAU will sus pend the Marine Corps star will be determined when a special "committee of seven" makes its report on the Santee case here on Sunday. Key to the decision is some mysterious "new infor mation" the committee claims to have. Whatever this evidence may be, Santee expects the AAU vote to go against him. Would Deprive Yank Team Attorney Grimes declared that the suspension of Santee would deprive the United States Olym pic team of one of its best chances for a victory in the sum mer Olympics and might mean the American team would "per form at Melbourne in the same undistinguished manner in which it performed' in the win ter Olympic games." Santee's troubles stem from charges that he accepted too much expense money while comT peting in track meets in Calif ornia last summer. He was sus pended on these charges by the registration csmmittee of the Missouri Valley AAU, his home district, last fall, but was rein stated a short time later by the board of managers' of the same group. The national AAU voted at its convention in Louisville, Ky., in January to re-open the case and a special committee was appointed to do the investigation. the 123-pound bracket. Otner Medford wins were Charles Finch, 130, decision, 6 to 5, over Broullette; Ron Lingren, 136, decision, 8 to 0, over Matthews; Dennis Walker, 149, by pin over Chapney, and Tom Mortris, 177, decision over Burrough, 11 to 5. TV wins were Kennedy, 98, .pinned Dave Mansfield; Bailey, 115, pinned bam Jennings; vuic, 141, decisioned Ray Hilton, 1 to 0; Rosenberg, to7, pinned Jerry Anderson, and Kraus, 168, ninned Frank ' Williams.. MfHfnrHites winning' six of tho eight exhibitions were Charles Hampton, George Flan agan, Fred Baker, John 'Dan iels and Terry Miller by pins and Gary Heath by decision.

PETERSON United Press Sports Editor New York (U.R) There will be no concessions for Russian and other "Iron Curtain" ath letes for the 1956 Olympic games at Melbourne, Australia., They will be . fed, 'housed, transported and treated like the athletes from the other nations of the world, "no better, no worse. "We made that very ' plain when we invited Russia and its satellite countries to the games," Brig. Gen. William Bridgeford, chief executive officer of tne Australian Olympic organizing committee disclosed. "That's the only way we'll have it and I' an ticipate-no problems. But he admitted that the only word he has had from Russia is that the invitation to compete was . accepted and that the Soviets will "send 400 athlete's and officials. Largest Delegation That would make it the larg est delegation . for the games, Bridgeford said.. "I understand the United States delegation will be the second largest, about 575." - This will be the second sum mer Olympics in which the Rus sians will compete. - Their first was the 1952 games at Helsinki, only a stone's throw from Rus sia. : - . " . ' When the Russians arrived there with the athletes from the other "Irpn Curtain": countries, they demanded and received their own housing village and other facilities. But while the Russians and their . "Iron Curtain" neighbors are welcome in Australia, the circumstances will not quite be the same. Australia and Russia broke off diplomatic relations after the existence of a Russian spy ring in Australia was dis closed. " :' All of the preparations and planning of Australian officials has been on the tneory xnai xne Russians and . their neighbors will live in the1 same housing development as the athletes and officials from all the other na- Sticky Football Impression Good Chicago (U.R) The coach es' dream, a sticky football. might be the hottest new item ih sports equipment in 1956. The ball, introduced: in De cember, made its debut in four bowl games, the Rose Bowl,' the Senior Bowl, the East-West and Blue-Gray games, and there was only one lost ball due to fumb ling. Recently sporting goods deal ers got a look at the ball at the annual industry show. Before that the ball drew approval at the Football Coaches' conven tion and made such an impres sion on the National Football league that it was adopted as official for. 1956. The ball has a natural finish with no coating and the manu facturer displayed it on scales which measured the pull neces sary to dislodge a football from the grip. The old ball slipped away with a pull of one half or three quarters of a pound. The new one required a IV2 or 8 pounds pull. tions of -the world. -No Segregation "We couldn't segregate them if we wanted too, Bridget ord explained. "This Olympic - Vil lage is the only place where we can house and feed the ath letes." . But if the Russians, or the U. S. for that matter, want to bring their own food, cooks and other help, it will, be all right. "We are setting up some eight or nine kitchens which will be able to take care of special diets, special national dishes and things like that," Bridgeford said. "AH they have to do is tell us what they want in the line . of food and they will get it. v..' V. ', , "But the dining halls are for all athletes, the housing is for. all athletes, and the facilities for training and transportation will be the same.' We don't expect any nation to' ask us for special favors, but if they do none will be granted. ' "While the athletes of . the world are here in Melbourne, they will all be together with equal facilities to all." The Russians are expected to arrive about the same time as the United States team, about 10 days before the games begin on Nov. 22. .

When SM last took the title in Bobby Boyd, Lausse Vie Chicago (U,R) Bobby Boyd a Chicago middleweight who fig ured he was "only one fight away from a title chance, prom ised that his battle tonight with Argentine Eduardo Lausse will be "a good one. "I'm going to make it one," he said. "It's just another fight, but it's maybe the most im portant because I think the win ner will get a chance at the title with maybe no more bouts.'1 More Ready Boyd, though the 2 to 1 under dog for the televised contest, believed he was more ready for the battle than the Argentine. who has' gone 32 bouts without a defeat, because "I've met tougher fighters." Lausse, not adept in the Eng lish language, said about Boyd that . "he's a good fighter, but I've never seen, heem box." The chance that the bout would end in a knockout . was good.
