"I won't retire," said 34-year-old Ezzard. "I got my dream of fighting in the elimination tournament and winning the va cant title for the second time. My mistake last night was thinkin' too much instead of just punchin' away." Manager Tom Tannas said, "It's up to Ezzard. If he wants to keep fighting I won't order him to quit." Bethea, a husky but awkward 23-year-old New York Negro, registered his outstanding vic tory on a unanimous decision over Ezzard; but it was not an upset because a last - minute betting switch had sent young Wayne into the ring as a 6-5 favorite. At noon Monday, Charles was favored at 8-5. Bethea, weighing 199 pounds to Charles' 195, forced Ezzard about the ring in every round and blamed him for "slowing up the bout by hold in' me and tryin' to tie me up all the time." The three ring officials voted in unison on a rounds basis, 7-3, for Bethea's 10th victory in 16 professional bouts. They were Referee Al Berl and Judges Nick Gamboli and Mike Davidowitz. It was a dismal defeat for the ex-champion's handlers, who had hoped that Rocky Marciano's retirement would inspire Ezzard to heroic efforts toward recap turing the title he had won when it was vacant in 1949 and lost in 1951. Comets Play Wednesday On JC Field Central Point Crater high's Comets carry their state A-2 baseball title hopes to Junction City on Wednesday. They play the high-rated Tig ers at 2 p.m. in the Willamette valley town. Coach Clarence Mellbye said that 14 players will make the trip. Fred Herrmann is sched uled to go to the mound for the Comets. No baseball tourney in the us ual sense is being conducted this year. The football plan of deter mining champs in all classes is being followed. The eight dis trict champs are not going to a common field to play but are playing quarter and semi-finals in their own areas. Finalists in A-l, A-2 and B classes will vie at Multnomah stadium on June 2. Junction City and Vale share the limelight as A-2 favorites this year. If Crater can upset the Junction City applecart, its next foe likely will be Vale. Fanfare The immediate future seems just as bright as the past for the Medford high Black Tornado in track and field. For Bob New land, Oregon's No. 1 prep cin der tutor, loses only five of the 33 men who represented Med ford high in the district meet at Klamath Falls. That means a grand total of 28 are returning. Furthermore, there will be eight members of this year's state titular squad returning for 1957. Three of these will be de fending state champions: Wally Larson in the hurdles, Jerry Close in the broad jump and Bilbee Lane in the half-mile. The others also should be top contenders next year: Neil Plumley in the shot put, Mike Russell and Pete Kershaw in the quarter-mile and relay, Les Lingscheit in the half-mile and Eldon Francis in the javelin. Those completing Tornado track careers are Mike Hawkins and Bob Gould, sprinters; Lew Breazeale, pole vault; Dave Johnson, high jumper and pole vaulter, and Bob Tisdel, high and broad jumper. AAU MEET NEXT Track season isn't over for the Black Tornado. Coach Bob Newland has indicated that there'll be a good Medford representation in the AAU meet in Portland a couple of week ends from now. Seniors likely will be in minority on the squad. Some ninth grad ers make the trip. SEVEN STRAIGHT VICTORIES Slightly more than a month ago the Medford high varsity baseball team had a Southern Oregon conference record of twoMvins and three losses. From that point they won every single game in the loop, seven straight of them, to sweep to the cham pionship. Six of the victories were needed to assure the title. The final triumph in the second game of the doubleheader, was for good measure and for addi tional proof of the Tornado's titular caliber. The Black Tornad didn't ex actly do the impossible but it certainly closed out the regular season in sparkling, splendid fashion with a combination of both fine morale and improved ability that bolsters the hope of the, players and fans as well for forthcoming state play-off ac tion. In winning the District 6 A-l and conference banners the Tornado provided a real present for their coach, John Kovenz, a pennant in his first season of prep baseball coaching. BANNER YEAR Regardless of how Medford high trackmen or baseballers fare from here on this spring, it's been a banner school year in sports for the Black Tor nado, district champions in football. basketbalL track and baseball, runner-up spot in the state in basketball and Oregon A-l champion in track along with the metropolitan toga in the Hayward relays. On top of that the Tornado had the satisfaction of giving Marshfield, the eventual state champion football team, its toughest battle of the season. They recorded one victory over the Franklin high Quak ers who topped them for the loftiest honors in stale basket ball. It's a good lime to say to the Medford high athletes and their coaches. "Well done!" WALTONIANS ELATED Word that the $208,000 amount needed for screening the irriga tion water intake turbines at Savage Rapids dam has been in eluded in the administration's public works appropriations bill is cause for elation among mem bers of the Jackson ' County chapter of the Izaak .Walton league. They worked very hard on this project. The screening on the Rogue river installation is one of the club's prime objec tives this year. The appropriation is by no means certain yet.. The bill was to go before the House of Rep resentatives today. Savage Rap id's screening item is still sub ject to a point of order and de bate. However, the proposed ap propriation now stands a better chance for approval than it would had it been introduced from the floor as an amendment to the bill. Waltonians were probably the hardest workers at this end in getting the screening matter to its present status. President Norton Smith of the Jackson chapter and State Director Paul Weiland, Medford, have devoted much time to the project. Four screens are. needed to prevent damage and destruction to downstream migrating fish. PICTURE TUBES REJUVENATED Is your picture tube dull and weak?

It's high time some action was taken. McCOY SETS PACE We're still awaiting word on the start of the auto rac ing season at the Ashland speedway of the Southern Oregon Race club. Local track favorites already have shown their mettle on the Crescent City oval, in racing their small-engined vehicle against the big-engine powered cars allowed on the California track. . Jack McCoy, driving the new Ellis market car for the first time, tied the big engine track record for fast time. His lesser powered car went on to win the trophy dash and a heat. McCoy was leading in the blue lap of the main when a tire blew out. He went over the side but got back on the track and finished fourth. Cecil James was third in the same main and Tommy James won a heat on the Cres cent City program.

Channel 8 MEDFORD MOTORS, Inc. 6th & Ivy Phone 2-6157 Tuesday, May 22, 1956 UCLA Gridders Ineligible One Year; PCC Seeks Data On Aids To Bruin Athletes Victoria. B.C. (U.R) Every member of the 1955 UCLA var sity and freshman football squads yesterday was penalized one year of eligibility at the California school. . The ineligible declaration was made by Dr. Joseph Kaplan, UCLA faculty athletic represen tative at the meeting of the Pa cific Coast Conference here. It follows a smashing penalty dealt against the Bruins by the conference Saturday. Dr. Kap lan said he had declared in eligible each member of last year's frosh and varsity football squads for having "received substantial financial aid not per mitted by the conference ath letic code." The conference decided that permanent ineligibility in all sports for UCLA athletes, which had been considered, was too harsh a penalty in this situation. It was decided that loss of one year of competition was severe enough. . . Knox Affected ' The ruling will make all jun iors who played on the 1955 team, including the controver sial and mu,ch heralded Ronnie Knox, ineligible to play this fall, unless they can prove they are innocent. The conference, by its action, appears extremely intent on pry ing loose names of the specific athletes who received financial aid from two UCLA booster clubs. Victor O. Schmidt, conference commissioner, had accused VANNOUNC ' ' y ' " ' M beauties in four price ranges that m UCLA Chancellor Dr. Raymond B. Allen of blocking his at tempts to carry out a campus in vestigation of the situation. The school was fined $15,000 because of Allen's actions. Names of the players affected were not released by the confer ence or UCLA officials attending the meeting. However,' it was a blanket order on all members of last year's varsity and fresh man squads. Sanders Shocked Henry (Red) Sanders, UCLA football coach, was visibly shocked by the order. '"I imagine we may . have enough players to field a squad, but the Humane Society may ob ject to what is going to happen to them." Sanders indicated that the university could, if it saw fit, go farther than the conference and make all members of the varsity and freshman teams per manently ineligible.' And that was a matter of great concern to him. Dr. Kaplan agreed with San ders that the university had the power to take more drastic action. "But that is a matter I have not discussed with Chancellor Raymond B. Allen. I made the only recommendation that I could today, under the confer ence rules affecting my posi tion." Football was the only sport he recommended for the one-year loss of eligibility, Kaplan said, but if information is given to in price give you more usable horsepower and high compression, you would have to pay at least $173 more in any competitive car.
