Renaissance
In Cougar
Sports Seen
By PAT KILLEN
San Francisco (U.PJ If
new head coach Jim Sutherland
develops athletes as well at
Washington State college as he
did at Santa Monica High, then
watch for a great renaissance
In Bthletics at the Cougar
school.
- Because, spotted around the
country in various types of
sports jobs, are dozens of ath
letes developed by Sutherland.
When Parry O'Brien reared
back and threw the shot put far
ther than any human last Sat
urday, it must have been a cer
tain source of satisfaction to
Sutherland. He started Parry in
that business.
When Ronnie Knox throws a
pass for UCLA and completes
it, Sutherland must say to him
self, "I knew it," because he
coached Bonnie in high school,
too.
Started McLaughlin
And when Leon McLaughlin
tosses a particularly resounding
block for the Los Angeles Rams,
Sutherland can say "I expect
ed" it because he started Mc
Laughlin on the road to fame.
" These are just a few of the
men that got their start under
Sutherland. .
In 1952 after O'Brien had won
the Olympics in Helsinki and
set a new standard there, his
parents told this reporter that
Sutherland was one of the three
men responsible for his even
being in Finland,
Mr. and Mrs. Parry O'Brien
Sr. of Santa Monica, Calif., said
that Parry credited Sutherland,
Jess Mortenson, freshman track
coach at the University of
Southern California, and Jess
Hill, former track coach and
now head football mentor at
USC with guiding him to the
Olympic winner s platform.
Sferong Boy . " ,.
Sutherland coached football
and track at Santa Monica high
school when O'Brien was a
growing lad. During the track
season he worked on the Santa
Monica strong boy and did a lot
to develop his shot put talents
which led to a Southern Cali
fornia high school record in his
senior year. :
Sutherland also developed
the following players:
Dick Horn, former quarter
back and safety man for Stan
ford. Ike Jones, offensive end for
UCLA's 1954 Rose Bowl team.
Sandy Lederman, . University
of Washington quarterback who
was touted as; the best North
west field general and passer
since Don Heinrich before he
broke his arm during the 1953
season.

Ed MbcKen
Gets Verdict
Over Cuban
San Francisco (U.R) The
question of whether Eddie Ma
chen can take it or not remained
a moot one today but there was
no doubt he is a happy gleam in
the eye of the International Box
ing club. i
The - sharp-shooting heavy
weight from Redding, Calif.,
went before the national TV
audience Wednesday night with
only 11 professional fights un
der his belt and punched out a
unanimous 10-round ! decision
over experienced Julio Mederos
of Cuba.
Machen weighed 193, Meder
os 191.
IBC Secretary Truman Gib
son, beaming in concert with
Sid Flaherty, who handles Ma
chen, said that a fight between
handsome Eddie and Nino Val
dez, "would be a good bout,"
and predicted it may be held
here in about six weeks.
Valdez originally was suppos
ed to have met Machen Wednes
day night, but dropped out with
a broken nose.
Few Jolts
.Mederos, a workhorse who
knocked out Roland La Starza
early last year, never landed
enough jolts to Machen's curly
head for observers to. tell if Ed
die can take a punch.
But the Cuban showed he
could take plenty himself when
Machen staggered him with a
repeating right-left blast in the
sixth round and followed it ,up
with a shower of lefts and rights
in the seventh that had Mederos
wobbling. " - :
Machen, who took the first
four rounds to get the television
jitters out of his system, never
was able to deck his opponent
although he belted him with ap
proximately a dozen lefts and
rights to an unprotected jaw in
the ilop-sided seventh. .
PLAYER SUSPENDED
Villanova,. Pa. (U.R) Bob
Powers, a high scorer on the Uni
sersity of Villanova basketball
team earlier this . season, has
been suspended indefinitely by
Coach Al Severance for "dis
ciplinary reasons."
Names Seattle
in 21 starts by upsetting eighth
ranked Temple, 77-68, Wednes
day night. ,
- The NCAA probably will
make a bid for St. Joseph's, but
officials of the loosely-knit Mid
dle Atlantic Conference aren't
expected to make their choice
between the Hawks, Temple,
Lafayette and Muhlenberg until
next week. St. Joe more than
likely will grab at the invita
tion if the backers of the NIT
offer one in the next couple of
days, thus paving the way for
Temple (20-2) to be named to the
NCAA tourney.
Already named to the 12-team
NTT carnival are Louisville (21

Dayton (21-2), Niagara (18-5),

pion (11-9), Marquette (11-9),

Black Tornado Faces
avemen Here Friday
Southern Oregon Conference
basketball reaches the end of the
1956 trail this week end. The
championship and state tourney
qualifiers are already decided
but that won't deter the also
rans in their efforts to embar
rass the leaders and improve
their own records in the final
opportunity.
Medford championship Black
Tornado plays Grants Pass high
while runner-up Klamath Falls
vies at Ashland. In games : at
Medford Friday and in the
Caveman gym on Saturday,
Grants Pass will be aiming to
keep out of the loop cellar while
at Ashland the Grizzlies will be
trying to climb out of it.
The Tornado enters its Cave
man series without the pressure
of crucial play upon it but with
knowledge that it will still have
to be "up" to trim the Cave
men. While' not underestimating
the Cavemen because of then
poor record, the Medfordites
still like the thought of a couple
more tough games to help them
groom for the state A-l tourna
ment at Eugene. The week end
tussles will be the last for both
Medford and Klamath Falls be
fore the mid-March jaunts to the
University of Oregon campus.
GP Can Be Tough
That Grants Pass can give
Medford a battle was shown in
the previous series in January
when the Tornado won 42 to 39
and 67 to 57. Tornado hope is
that its big men will give them
the same backboard control and
scoring they provided in the sec
ond conflict for both series this
week end. ' '
The Cavemen almost upended
the Medfordites in the 42 to 39
first brush with a slow 'em down
offensive which gave them con
trol of the ball much of the way
and with a tight defense. Coach
Ray - Davis ' may have the GP
crew using the same strategy
