(U.R) Ron nie Knox and his outspoken step father, Harvey, today ended a brief but noisy month of profes sional football with the Hamil ton Tiger-Cats on a sour note. It wasn't exactly clear wheth er Ronnie was fired or quit. Hamilton declared the much pub licized quarterback had been dis missed while stepfather Harvey said "Ronnie is leaving because they didn't use him enough and then only as a gate attraction." Thus ended the loudly herald ed professional football career of the gifted youngster, who re portedly signed a contract that called for $1,000 a game. Ronnie, who with the "help" of Harvey has made more off-field head lines than any collegian in re cent years, looked both very bad and very good during his brief appearances as quarterback of the Tiger-Cats. Coach Jim Trimble, former Philadelphia Eagle coach, said the younger Knox would not re turn to the team "under any circumstances," after the 21-year old Californian violated his two year contract by falling to re port for practice Wednesday night. MEDFORD!,TRIBUNE Talent, Merrill Game on Friday Talent Coach Dick Thorp? reported today that there is no change in plans for the Talent high football game with Merrill.

They're going to do the best they can do." That was the comment today by Coach Leon ard Warren as the Crater high Comets faced their first football action in District 6 A-l. They oppese Grants Pass here Friday evening in a Southern Oregon conference ruckus. It will tf the first full varsity grid contention between the two schools who have met previous ly on the basketball court, the baseball diamond and track oval and field. Grants Pass will be the favor ed club because of its long ex perience against tougher com petition but the Comets could be entering the tussle much un derrated. They have some size able, capable linemen and a backfield that is on near par with the Cavemen. Main lack of the Crater club is depth. Little Changs Warrep indicated that his starting line-up will show but little change from prrvious com bats this season. Gerald Kime and Carl Koellner are likely ends with Fred Herrman prob ably to see much action. Tackle berths will be filled from among Dick Davis, Dave Parker and Bill Morse and guards from among Roger Seaman, Morse and Dick Rainey with Don Hub bard possibly seeing duty. Neil Green is the possible center. In the backfield Wayne Allen may be at quarterback, George Juveland at left half, Allen Barnes at right half and Don Goyette at fullback. Hubbard, has missed practices because of work this week. Ron Harrison, a halfback has been hampered by a pulled muscle. Grants Pass may have as high as 11 letternen in its starting offensive unit against the Comets. Gary Tompkins and Mike Sparlin may be at ends for coach Mel Ingram's Cave men with Larry Walker and Larry Thompson at tackles. Gary Hadsell is expected to be at one guard and either Bob Allerheiligen or Doug Smith at guard. Allerheiligen suffered a kidney bruise last week at Marshfield. Smith or Dick Cald well will be at center. All the foregoing linemen are lettermen with exception of Sparlin, who has jayvee exper ience, and Caldwell. In the backfield Stan Lewman or Jim Smith could alternate with Lewman probably starting. Chuck Lasher may open at left half with Roger Taylor also see ing service at that slot. Norris Conner may be at right half with Don Lewellyn as possible alternate. Mike Rose may open at full with Jack Dean or Dennis Eckstein as likely replacements. Smith and Lewellyn are non lettermen. Lasher won his letter last year at Beaverton and Con ner his at a California school. Conner and Eckstein are the heaviest of the backs at 176 and 181 pounds each but Eckstein is expected to see most of his duty on defense as an end or line backer. Conner missed the Marshfield trip because of a knee infection and Rose saw service on only a few plays be cause of a calf bruise. Lewman and Taylor saw most of the playing on defense last year and again are expected to be used in that part of aze game. Dick Graves, 265, and Nathan Graves, 270, are generally in the middle of a Grants Pass six man defensive line. When the forward wall shifts to five men, Paul Slaven can be expected be tween the Graves brothers. Phil Paquin is a defensive end. The Graves are monogram wearers.

Even if the mail-caller gives the initials, P. F. M. B., meaning the full fore and aft of the prop er handle, Pierre sometimes goes without his mail. And the young private is awfully glad that no one has to call the roll for mess. "I'd starve to death," he says. The private has been training at the signal corps training cen ter at Fort Gordon. He's from Ridgefield, N. J. "When most folks meet me," he says, "they think I'm French. They seem kinda shook up when I tell them I was born in New York and went to high school in Hackensack, N.

And he adds: "Like the time I was overnight Ike, Nixon Said Indifferent To Small Business Belleville, 111. (U.R) Dem ocratic vice presidential candi date Estes Kefauver said today that the Eisenhower - Nixon ad ministration has been indiffer ent to both the small farmer and the small businessmen. "The Republican Party, the Eisenhower - Nixon administra tion, has taken its stand behind the forces of monopolies and the giant corporations," he said in a speech prepared for delivery at a court house square rally here. "And if left alone to continue, they will ultimately achieve the destruction of small - business and the small farm as independ ent economic entities in Ameri can life." Kefauver's speech here start ed a strenuous day of politick ing folksy talks and hand shaking by auto in a 250-mile swing through normally Repub lican southern Illinois. The schedule included two news con ferences and 10 court house square and street corner rallies here and at Pinckneyville, Murphysboro, Herrin, West Frankfort, Harrisburg, Fairfield, Flora, Salem and Mt. Vernon. Kefauver said the Eisenhow er administration is dominated by a group of retired millionaires and big corporation executives. "And these people have con fused their own economic pre judices with the national inter est," he added. Pirates Play Douglas on Friday Night Phoenix Infections suffered by two players and drop outs of three others, one because of an old injury hampered the Phoenix high Pirates this week as they looked toward their football game with Douglas here on Friday night. End Pete Boehm has an in fected toe and may not play and back Larry Blunt is bothered by boils and may see little serv ice. The dropouts and the ail ments take much of the size away from the Pirate eleven. Against Douglas the Pirate single wing will be up against a T spread attack. The Douglas team boasts a wide open offense with good passing. Starters for Phoenix Friday, according to coach Jack Wood ward, may be Jim James and Archie Trott, ends; Jack Renn and Jim Waldron, guards, Mar vin Frazier and Larry Kidwell, tackles; Rob Daugherty, center, center;. Dennis James or Jim Heath quarterback; Gary Sim monds and Jack Thompson, half backs, and Don Wallace full back. Others expected1 to see a lot of service are Mike Campbell, Stan Zwan, Dale Haggard and Neil Gerin, linemen, and Bill Dillree, backs. Shirley, Mass. U.P.)

No. 1 of the signal schools." Seems our young man called the guardhouse and told them to phone the company orderly room at four in the morning and asked for Manaut-Billefranque. He wanted to be sure of a wake-up, so he could stir the cooks and others out of the shucks. "They called, all right," our man with the long name says, and asked me to wake up Man uat, Billy and Frank.' If I had told them my whole name, they probably would have asked for Pierre and Francois, too. All they wanted to wake up was me." When Pierre was in school he cut his name short and called himself "Peter Manaut." Then nosey folks would check his birth certificate or driver's li cense, and wouldn't believe he was the same guy. The Army is a little tough. It demands a full name. As of now that is a little difficult. In order to get paid, for example. "I have been having a heckuva time learning to write small enough to get the whole name on the pay roster each month," he says. "They won't let you go on the second line, you know."- The young man has no idea of changing his name any part of it. "I kind of like it," he says. "It's distinctive."

(U.R) Some pieces of heavy timber dredged up in Charleston Slough near here have stirred speculation they might be relics from one of two sailing vessels which sank In Coos Bay in 1856 and 1869. The timbers, with brass and bronze fittings, wooden pegs and square nails, were dredged up by the Corps of Engineers working on the new Charleston small boat basin in the lower bay. Victor West Jr., North Bend, Ore., an authority on shipwrecks and sinking along the Oregor. coast, has old government maps dating back to 1862 which show positions of two vessels wrecked in the bay. The brig Ida D. Rogers, built in Essex, Conn.; in 1859, went down in Coos bay in 1869. The map shows she sank near the mouth of Charleston Slough. The other ship was the Jack son, which struck a rock inside the bar entrance and sank in 1856. West is of the opinion the parts brought up by the en gineers could have been from either vessel.
