(U.R) Ninety-two rebellious University of Alabama athletes ended their j walkout from their rent-free I dormitory today after a com promise on their demands for more liberal training regula tions. The plays and Athletic Di rector Hank Crisp came to terms at a meeting Thursday afternoon. "We're all happy now," Crisp said. "It's all over." He also released a joint statement call ing the furor a "misunderstand ing." The athletes, all on standard Southeastern Conference schol- MEDFORIVlWrRIBUNE SIPdDIETrS I arships, walked out Tuesday night and threatened never to return if coaches did not stop treating them like "children." Reversion The compromise, which ended a threat to the sports program, was actually a reversion to old training regulations set down by players some four years ago. The revolt, long smoldering, was hastened Monday when coaches announced stricter rules following an automobile wreck early Sunday in which five play ers were involved. The accident occurred at 3 a.m. when the men should have been in bed. Ashlanders Get Pair From Pels Medford and Grants Pass High's battled this afternoon in a Southern Oregon Confer ence baseball fracas ai Grants Pass. The Tornado of Medford was attempting to regain a lie for second in the circuit and the GP Cavemen sought to bolster their hold on the sec ond spot. Pads Take PCL Lead; Angels Club Portland Gene Fullmer Opposes Jones Cleveland (U.R) Two mid dleweights with aggressive styles and high aspirations clash to night in a nationally televised and broadcast 10-round bout. Gene Fullmer of West Jor dan, Utah, and Ralph Jones of Yonkers, N.Y., had the odds makers in a tizzy during their final training periods here. The money, 6-5 on Fullmer up to Wednesday, gradually slipped to xne same price on Jones the next day, and was expected to fluc tuate right through the playing of the National anthem. Jones, 28, is fresh from a vic tory over European middle weight champion Charles Hu mez of France. Earlier he beat Sugar Ray Robinson. Fullmer, 23, has a 34-3 professional rec ord. Jones is ranked No. 5 in contention for the crown. Full mer is ranked seventh. Neither is rated a knockout puncher, but neither ever has been knock ed out. Portland Pilots Tip Pacific Badgers 3-1 Portland (U.R) Portland Uni versity, behind the four-hit pitching of lefty Lenny Brooks, downed Pacific 3-1 in a baseball game here yesterday. Facilities at the firm's Port Arthur, Tex., refinery were jrowded, so it was decided to experiment with the Sour Lake salt dome. Br DON THACKREY United Press Sports Writer The San Diego Padres took the Pacific Coast league lead away from Seattle last night and the Rainiers headed for Bordertown to see what they can do about getting it back. The Pads parlayed a 4-1 vic tory over Vancouver and a 5-2 San Francisco win over Seattle into a half game lead as the teams switched partners in mid week. In other games yesterday Los Angeles clobbered Portland 11-5 and Sacramento swept its three game series with Hollywood by winning 7-4. Pete Mesa pitched the Padres into the top spot by stopping the Mounties with five hits as he won his second game of the young season. Mesa tired, how ever, in the ninth and Allen Get tel put out the fire. George Bamberger was the victim of the nine-hit Padre attack. Russ Kemmerer of San Fran cisco matched Mesa's record by getting his second of the season without defeat at the expense of Seattle. Kemmere held the defending champions to six hits and clouted a home run over the left field fence to tie the score at 2-2 in the fourth after Joe Taylor had lofted one of Kern merer's pitches over the same fence earlier to put Seattle ahead. It was the third homer in two days for Taylor and his fourth of the season. Elmer Singleton took the loss for the Rainiers. Hollywood's Curt Raydon pitched splendidly for six in nings against Sacramento and then came apart at the seams. Raydon had a no-hitter and five strikeouts for the first six frames, but came to a bad end in the seventh. Al Heist got a bloop single off Raydon to open the seventh and then the Solons batted around against four Star pitch ers with Heist also contributing a two-run double. Before the side was out Sacramento had seven runs and the ball game. The Sacs got only a total of five hits, but sandwiched them around three walks, an infield out and a sacrifice fly to mount their big offensive. Joe Stanka was the winner. Los Angeles pitcher Harry Perkowski also proved handy with the bat as he slammed a bases-empty home run . against Portland and held on for his sec ond win against a defeat. A four-run uprising by the Angels in the third and a six run surge in the sixth made Per kowski's work easier. Ed Mickelson homered for Portland and big Steve Bilko slammed a three-run homer for Los Angeles in the third. Young LeRoy Han, making his first start for Portland took the loss. He was wild and wait ed four men during the four in nings he worked on the mound. He also was behind the hitter often. . SOUTHERN OREGON CONFERENCE STANDINGS W.
