But Fails To
Lose 'Dream'
New York (U.R) Ex-heavyweight
champion Ezzard Charles
still had his "dream" today but
no one else shared it after his
licking Monday night by ob
scure young Wayne Bethea in
their televised 10-rounder at St.
Nicholas Arena.
"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.

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

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,
