Athletes at Alabama End
Walkout After Agreement
Tuscaloosa, Ala. (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.

Medford and Grants Pass
High's battled this afternoon
in a Southern Oregon Confer

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. .
