    EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON)
Expediency
Charged by
UW Official
Seattle (U.R) Former Foot
ball Coach Johnny Cherberg and
two University of Washington
officials reacted with surprise
and indignation today upon
learning of the series of penal
ties the Pacific Coast Conference
had levied on the university.
H. P. (Dick) Everest, vice-president
of the university, said the
PCC acted on "expediency, not
facts" in assessing the penalties,
which include a two-year proba
tion and the equivalent of a
$53,000 fine.
"Apparently they felt that
with all the publicity on Uni
versity of Washington football,
some drastic action had to be
taken," said Everest. "But they
made no consideration of facts,
and rather acted only on exped
iency." '
No Sense
The university vice-president
said the conference's decision
"just doesn't make sense."
"It went so far that it took it
completely beyond the bounds of
reason," he said.
Washington's faculty repre
sentative to the conference, Prof.
Donald Wollett, said in San
Francisco last night that he was
"surprised at the severity" of
the penalties.
"I expected some type of dis
ciplinary action," Wollett said,
"but I did not expect it to be so
severe. I did not expect an ac
tion that would penalize the
Other sports in our athletic pro
gram for something that had
to do only with the football
team."
Cherberg said it was "highly
.unfair" of the conference "to
place what little stigma they did
on the Evergreen Educational
Foundation."

Portlanders Bounce
Suds in Doublebill
By SCOTT BAILLIE
United Press Sports Writer
The Portland Beavers seemed
on the verge of crashing out of
the second division in the Paci
fic Coast league race today,
thanks to the strong-arm tactics
of pitchers Bill Werle and Rene
Valdes.
Although still in sixth place
after a miserable start, Manager
Tommy Holmes' club has won
six of its last seven games and
four of those triumphs were
posted by Werle and Valdes
without any help from the bull
pen. Portland captured a twin bill
from Seattle yesterday as south
paw Werle (4-2) went the route
in the opener for a 6-4 win and
Valdes (4-1) hung up his second
shutout of the year by blanking
the Suds in the nightcap, 7-0.
A few days before this joint
performance, Werle subdued
first place Los Angeles 7-1 on
May 1 and Valdes completed the
one-two combination the follow
ing night by handcuffing the
Cherubs, 3-1.
Mounlies, Angels Idle
Portland was the only club to
sweep yesterday's double head
ers. Sacramento and San Fran
cisco divided as did San Diego
and Hollywood. Vancouver's
Sunday blue law kept the Moun
ties and Los Angeles idle until
tonight's single game which
winds up their current series
there.
Sacramento dug deeper into
second place by splitting with
San Francisco. The Solons took
Monday, May 7, 1958
the opener, 7-3 and the Seals
won the second game, 1-0, in the
last inning when Bob DiPietri
looped a base-loaded pinch hit.
The blow gave southpaw Bill
Henry the win while Cloyd
Boyer, down on option from
Kansas City, took the loss.
Padres Break Tie
Hollywood took the opener
from San Diego, 5-4, and the
Padres won the nightcap by
snapping a 5-5 tie in the seventh
frame to win, 7-5.
Luis Marquez was the big gun
at bat for Portland, getting five
hits in the two games. He drove
in three runs in the second
game. Ed Mickelson and Tommy
Saffell had four hits each in the
twin bill.
Valdes scattered four hits in
notching his shutout while
Werle gave up 11 blows in the
first game.-

Salem Nine
Three Times
By JOHN R. LONG
United Press Sports Writer
The Salem Senators undoubt-
ly heaved a sigh of relief today
as they left Yakima for Wenai-
chee and what they hope is a
more hospitable reception.
Salem was cruising along in
first place Friday when the Sen-
ators blew into Yakima. But
after three straight losses to the
Bears, Salem had dropped all the
way to fourth.
Herm Lewis and Dick Neal
provided the extra base power
yesterday as they led Yakima to
a 4-3 victory over the Senators,
Lewis hammered a two-run honv
er over the centerfield wall in
the first inning, and Neal came
through in the next inning with
a two-run double. The second
game of a scheduled double'
header was rained out.
Saturday Sweep
Yakima took both ends of a
Saturday twin bill from Salem.
5-1 and 3-2. The week end
sweep left the Bears in a vir
tual tie vith Lewiston for first
place. Yakima trails Lewiston
by only .012 percentage points,
Lewiston swept two games
from Eugene yesterday, 10-8
and 3-2. Joe Riney and Gene
Klinger both homered for the
Broncs in the first game, while
Bill Girdley hammered the ball
out of the park in the ninth
with two on for Eugene.
Linfield Leads
Northwest Loop
Bv UNITED PRESS
A full schedule awaits the
Northwest Conference this week
as the six-team circuit nears the
wire in i pennant drive. But
finally the league goes into a
week with a clear-cut leader.
Linfield and Pacific, who have
shared the top rung throughout
most of the campaign, finally put
a game between them as Linfield
dumped Lewis and Clark 11-2
at McMinnville Saturday and Pa
cific lost to Whitman 6-4 at For
est Grove.
In the other conference game
Saturday, Willamette scored an
8-4 win over College of Idaho.
Butler Leading
Little in Final
Larry Butler holds a 1-up lead
on Bol Little in their match for
the spring golf handicap cham
pionship of Rogue Valley Coun
try club.
The two played the first 18
holes of their 36-hole match on
Saturday. Final 18. is slated
sometime this week.
Hank Herman took the first
flight prize with a 3 and 2 win
over Ed Nichols. Forrest Casey
won the second flight with a 5
and 4 decision over Monte
Stram. Brad Broyles and Lee
Flink have yet to play in the
third flight finale.
Pancho Gonzales 'Natural'
Tennis Player;
Driver in 'Drag' Races
Pancho Gonzales, who comes
to Medford on May 28 with the
Jack Kramer tennis tour, is a
natural born player who didn't
even have to practice to beat the
best in his school when he first
took to the courts.
Gonzales' parents emigrated
from Mexico and settled in Los
Angeles where he was born.
While still a small boy, his moth
er gave him a cheap racquet and
it was then that Gonzales, born
Richard Alonzo, found his call
ing. So great was his love for the
game that it interfered with his
formal education. He spent many
hours on the courts, a pastime
which was occasionally inter
rupted by the truant officer. His
distaste for learning caused him
to be barred from the Southern
California Tennis Association. In
the late stages of World War II.
he served in the Navy and when
he came out, he was restored
to good standing in the tennis
association.
'Drag' Race Driver
Although Gonzales has a tre
mendous interest in "drag" rac
es and is a champion driver,

BLACK TORNADO FACES
GP IN CRUCIAL FRAYS
It's make or break in the
Southern Oregon Conference this
week for the Medford high
school baseball contingent.
The Black Tornado plays at
Grants Pass on Tuesday and the
Cavemen come here on Friday.
Victory in both contests is a
virtual must for the Medford
team if it is to stay in the race
for the pennant. Grants Pass
will assure itself a tie in the
final regular season standing by
defeating the Tornado just once.
Triumph in both games with
Medford will give the Cavemen
the toga.
If Medford can drop the cur
rent league leaders twice, it will
go on top in the circuit and dis
trict chase. Such a lead would
have to be preserved by trim
ming Klamath Falls at least once
on May 19. Grants Pass con
cludes its regular slate with its
Medford scuffles.

Squad Game
Wet weather prevented action
with the University of Oregon

have been played but Eugene's
players could not be rounded up
after once being told the double
bill was off. Medford players

Ashland, all but out of the

Klamath Falls for two games
Friday. Klamath is out of the
running but could have a spoiler
role.
Ashland plays Crater at Cen

The Grizzlies had to go n extra
inning early in the season for a
one-run win over Crater. The

Herrmann on the mound. Coach
