1 TEH MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Heavy Drill Readies Tornado For Milwaukie Clash Friday Medford High school's foot ballers were to taper-off today after two rugged afternoons of preparation for Milwaukie oppo sition. Medford's Tornado battles the Mustangs of the Oregon metro politan area at the senior high stadium here at 8:15 p.m. on Fri day. The tussle is a return en counter for the 1955 ruckus in which the contingents knotted at 7 each. Coach Fred Spiegelberg and his staff of assistants put the Tornado gridmen through a long ' overdue session yesterday as j much needed ground was cover-, ed in tuning for the T formation Mustangs. The Medfordites had a considerable amount of dummy scrimmage and closed the day with work on punt returns, punt protection, punt covering and MDFORDvaTRIBDKE siPdpmTrs Best Trout Fishing of Season On Upper Rogue, at Fish Lake Portland (U.R) The weekly , fishing report issued today by the Oregon State Came Commis sion: SOUTHWEST: Some sea-run cutthroat are being taken in the lower North Umpqua and upper main Umpqua rivers. Summer steelhead fishing is very slow, only a few fish being caught in the Steamboat and Winchester areas. A number of fish have al ready been reported caught at the forks and in the Umpqua area. Fish should also be available Fine Talent For Football At Arizona Tucson, Ariz. OJ.P) Univer sity of Arizona, loaded with some of the finest football talent in the West, gets cooperation from the schedule makers this year, too, and the result may be the finest Wildcat season in his tory. Coach Warren Woodson has one of the best tailbacks in the country in Art Luppino; possibly the best center in college 1001 ball in Paul Hatcher and he has a tailor-made schedule that calls for seven of the 10 games to be played on the home lot. The Wildcat open their slate on Saturday, playing the Uni versity of Montana at Phoenix which also might be called a "home" game. The Tucson boys will be favored naturally. Luppino, the nation's top ground gainer for two years in a row, is the most highly publi cized of the Arizona gridders. But Hatcher is the boy that the professional scouts have been watching. He is a standout on both offense and defense and will go high in the draft choices this fall if he doesn't get hurt. Around these two talented stars. Woodson also has 14 other lettermen. Included in the list is Ed Brown, an all-Border Confer ence guard, who is just about as good as Hatcher. There are two lettermen ends returning in Ed Sine and Mark Owen; four tackles: Doug All red. Clarence Anderson, Alan Polley and Jack Davis. If he gets through the season without injury, Luppino prob ably will play full time at his tailback spot. Pete Arrigoni will get the wingback call, but he has Billy Overall and Roy Mar tin at the same spot. Don Beasley is the powerful runner who will get the call at fullback, but he has good re placements, too. in Gene Leek and Don Bowerman. at Tyee as well as in other down- ONLY r5SS DOWN NEW ROCKET 88 OLDSMOBILES DELIVERED IN MEDFORD! 2-Door 4-Door, Holiday 4-Door Sedans and Holiday Coupes.

Other activities included line blocking, tackling drill, and pass defense. Hbtt Mustang Tackles Tornado stalwarts anticipate harder going against Milwaukie than they did last week against Jefferson. Offensively, the Mus tangs are reported to have a light aggregation with a tricky deceptive offense. On defense the line will average considerably heavier than did the Demos. Word from Joel Meyers, Mus tang statistician, is that the Mil waukie eleven averages 170 in the line and 165 in the backfield on offrnsv Mdf nrd' possible river sections. Salmon fishing is excellent at Winchester bay. Salmon are present in the Gard iner area, also some striped bass are being taken on the Smith river.

Brummage, president of the association, presented it to George Zaharias, her husband, and the Babe's sister, Mrs. Liilie Grimes of Beaumont, Tex.

U.R Ore gon State Coach Tommy Pro thro's normally optimistic out look has somewhat dulled after Wednesday's drill which the Beaver coach considered less than encouraging. Prothro put the squad back on twice-a-day drills to shake them out of their training slump. The coach said his squad "per formed further below par" Wednesday '"than at any time since last fall."

Septemtor 13. 1956 ! backfield is comparable in weight and the line may go up to 185. On defense the Mustangs average J90 up in front and 160 in the secondary. Main reason for the bulk on defense is a pair of tackles. Bill Elliott, 260 pounds, and Bob Smith, 240. Milwaukie is somewhat simi lar to Jefferson in the exper ience it will bring here. Coach Bob Misely has 10 lettermen as TO SCRAP MUSTANGS Bob Apple, above, senior two-year letterman guard is ticketed for plenty of service here Friday night for the Medford High Black Tornado when it takes on the Milwaukie Mustang football crew.

Larry Cranston and Neil Plumley. tackles, Bob Apple and Tom Merton. guards, Jim Funston or Dick Swinney. cen ter, Dick McLaughlin, quarter back, Gordon Owsley, left half. Eldon Francis, right half, and Bob Gee, fullback. Defensive Players Defensive end choices will be from among Copple. Stearns, Gary Harrington and Tom Ham lin and tackles from among Plumley, Cranston, Bruce West and Frank Albert. Apple or Rickard could be at middle guard. Linebacker selections are among McLaughlin, Merton, Fun ston. Loren Christcan, Dan Lov- ett and Tom Morris with the choice of halfs among Gee, Mike Russell. Francis and Tony Brau- ner. At safety will be Owsley or John Jones. Hamlin and Terry Miller probably will be on the Medford kick-off combination. Spiegelberg said tliat Merton has a turned ankle but is still expected to be a starter. Right half Jav Walker, who injured an ankle a week before the Jeff mix, will be in suit and may see some duty. Gary Riley, who cut his hand badly a couple of weeks ago in a non-football mishap, is to be in uniform but isn't to see service. Ducks May Lose Chuck Osborne; Knee Injured Eugene (U.R. Football pros pects at University of Oregon suffered a jolt today with word that Chuck Osborne, veteran right halfback, may be out for the season. Osborne is scheduled to under go surgery, and it is expected to put the speedy halfback on the shelf for the season. Osborne injured the knee late last week. He was expected to return to practice within a short time, but the knee failed to respond to treatment and he will go into surgery to have a cartillage re moved. Loss of the veteran cuts into the strong reserve strength that Oregon was expecting to have this year. This leaves only one veteran. Junior Jim Shaniey. and three untested rookies at the right half spot. Osborne. 171 -pound senior from Turlock, Calif., missed part of last season because of a heel injury. FOR RESULTS ' USE TRIBUNE WANT ADS Crater Girds j Defense for Yreka Eleven Central Point Defense has received the major attention this week as the Crater High school Comets Drime for the Yreka. Calif.. Miners, a club which could do well this season as in 1955 when it Inst only one same and none in California compe tition. The teams meet at Yreka on Friday night. Coach Leonard Warren said that the Comets were "hitting it hard on tackling" in the after math of their close brush with Eagle Point last week. Blocking has received a lot of attention. The mentor said that he still is lookine for linebackers, pointing out that need of strength in that department was apparent against the Eagles. Allen Barnes, a 185-pound sophomore, was the top lineback er candidate after drills this week. Among those who could see duty at the spots this week are Neil Green, Ray Birge and Lee Gossett. On offense this week Warren probably will call on Wayne Al len to start at quarterback, Don Goyette at fullback and George Juveland at left half. The right half slot is still undecided be tween Ron Harrison, Gossett and Barnes. Linemen Listed In the line it mav be Carl Koellner and Gerald Kime at ends, Don Hubbard and Roger Seaman at guards and Green at center. Its among Dave Parker, Dick Davis and Bill Morse at tackle. Green may get call for considerable duty in the middle of the line on defense. At Yreka Coach Jack Beggs lost 24 two-year lettermen from his 1955 squad but lists 16 youths on hand who have had varsity experience, including four with two vears of varsity play. He has three 1955 starters on hand. They are Ron Joslin, end. and Richard King and Phil Slover. halfbacks. King came strong in league play last year and Slover took over for the injured star, Bill Kleaver, after the loss to Ashland and gained 862 yards Beggs calls the Miner line green but big from tackle to tackle. Bob Allen, Robert Coop er, Slover and King may be the Yreka starting backfield Friday. Linemen could be Dennis Ben nett and Mark Bonner at ends.

Basilio Recaptures Welterweight Title By JACK CUDDY Syracuse, N.Y. (U.R) Fiery Carmen Basilio, who recaptured the welterweight crown from Johnny Saxton Wednesday night and is casting covetous eyes on the middleweight title, credited "better condition and smart box ing in tactics" today for his sav age victory. The 29-year old Carmen gave Saxton a bloody beating and stopped him in the ninth round of their return fight before 8.546 in War Memorial Auditorium, but he must grant New Yorker Johnny a "rubber title- match" before he goes after Sugar Ray Robinson's 160-pound crown. For Carmen and his handlers, at least, the technical knockout triumph settled the six-month dispute over who should have won at Chicago last March, when Saxton took the title from Ba silio on a controversial decision. Cut Off Retreats "I fought a much smarter fight last night." said the ex-onion farmer from nearby Chittenango, N.Y.. who became the ninth man in welterweight history to win back the title after losing it. "I used boxing-in-tactics," he continued, "and cut off his re treats when he tried to circle, in stead of following his around-the-circle, like at Chicago." Happy Carmen, with a slight cut on his left cheek and a somewhat swollen nose, said: "I won the fight at Chicago, too. Furgol Favorite At Fort Wayne Fort Wayne. Ind. iU.R Ed Furgol, currently the hot-shot on the professional golf swing, was the favorite today to give the seventh annual $15,000 Fort Wayne open a new champion for the seventh time. Not since this show was in augurated in 1950 has the win ner repeated. At least two ex champs, last year's winner Dow Finsterwald and 1954 titlist Doug Ford, were among the more than 100 players who teed off today in the 72-hole contest. At the halfway mark, the field will be chopped to the low 60 pros and 10 ranking amateurs to go the final two rounds Satur day and Sunday. Should Furgol falter. Ford, last year's PGA champion, rated a good chance to add to his laurels. Other favorites included Bob Toski. Mike Souchak, Bob Rosburg. Tommy Bolt, Fred Haas and Arnold Palmer. Mauch Bows For Angels; Portlanders Split, Tied Again for 3rd By john Mcdonald United Jress Sports Writer ' Little second - sacker Gene Mauch, who many considered a more potent cog in Los Angeles drive to the pennant than homer happy Steve Bilko, headed for Boston today to join the Red Sox after bowing out of the PCL with his bat blazing. Mauch slugged out a triple and two singles in four trips Wednesday to help the Angels to an 11-7 win over the Hollywood Stars. Some 5.796 fans turned out at Wrigley Field for "Mauch night" in honor of the 30-year-old holler guy and he didn't disappoint them. It was a jam-packed schedule Wednesday night, with second place Seattle dividing a pair Kid Golfers Have Upper Hand in Am Lake Forest, 111. vU.R) The emphasis was on youth in the National Amateur golf tourney today with most of the name players on the sidelines and the kids holding the upper hand as 15 survivors headed into fifth and sixth round play. Seven of the remaining field were 22 and under with one fourth round match still unde cided. Only two elders, 40-year-old S a r g i o Fontanini, Des Moines, Iowa, and 43-year-old Charlie Kocsis, Royal Oak, Mich., the national college champion 20 years ago, re mained. The only names still in con ttion were defending cham pion E. Harvie Ward Jr., 30, San Francisco; Walker Cup captain Bill Campbell, 33, Huntington, W. Va., a Walker Cup player. 20-year-old Rex Baxter, Ama rillo, Tex., Joe Campbell, 20, Anderson, Ind., and Kocsis. Tackles Impress Casanova at UO Len Casanova is impressed with the performance of his line men, particularly the tackles. He said the Ducks should have real depth at tackle this year for the first time in several sea sons. Oregon worked on defense yesterday against the multiple offense employed by its first opponent. Colorado. but didn't get it, although I was a bit stale then from over-training for the postponed bout. And I didn't fight smart." "But I won't fight in Chicago," Basilio declared. Mouth Badly Ripped Saxton. who will be out of ac tion for weeks because of the badly ripped left side of his mouth, likewise said: "I won't fight again in Syra cuse. Basilio got away with butting and other things last night, here in his own back yard." Johnny said the ripped mouth, which required nine stitches, was caused by a butt, not by a punch. Saxton will receive about S71, 400 from the record central New York S134.939 gross gate and S75.000 TV-radio money. His 40 per cent of all net receipts is twice that given Basilio, who will wind up with about 535,700. Johnny, favored at 7-5 in the late betting, suffered such a bat tering Wednesday night as he suffered the second kayo in his career of 60 fights, that each of the three ring officials gave him only one of the eight completed rounds.

Started With Dodgers Mauch, whom Leo Durocher said early in the season could win the National league pennant for the Pittsburgh Pirates, was playing for Brooklyn at the age of 18. But in six seasons in the big time he never got a chance to play regularly and drifted back to the minors. Most observers believe he'll stick this time and will help the Red Sox. who bought him earlier this w e k, in their final 16 games. Mauch's three belts Wednes day night drove in two runs and helped his batting average whicii has stayed around the .350 mark all season. He shared honors with Jim Bolger, who drove in five runs on a home rcn and a bases-loaded double.
