TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. October 3. 19S8 Eisenhower Tosses In First Ball As World Series Opens Before 34,000 in Brooklyn By LEO H. PETERSEN Unittd Press Sporu Writer Brooklyn iU.Pj The favored New York Yankees sent Whitey Ford, their little southpaw ace, against the veteran Sal Maglie of the Brooklyn Dodgers today before President Eisenhower and some other 34.000 fang who jammed Ebbetts field for the first game of the World Series. The President entered Ebbetts field through the center field gate in an open automobile. The band played "Hail to the Chief as the automobile circled ' le outfield with the President attired in a brown suit standing up and waving to the crowd. The car stopped behind home plate and the President left the car and shook hands with Presi dent Walter O'Malley of the Dodgers. Then he went to home plate where he met Dan Top ping, coowner of the New York Yankees, Warren Giles, presi dent of the National league, Wil liam Harridge, president of the American league. Commissioner Ford Frick. and Managers Casey Stengel of the Yankees and Walt Alston of the Dodgers. Shake President's Hand Then the Dodgers, led by Cap tain Pee Wee Reese filed out of their dugout and one by one, shook hands with the President. Then the Yankees shook hands with him. The President then was es corted to a box to the right of Boyd Out of Ring For Six Months Chicago (U.R) Bobby Boyd. Chicago middleweight whose jaw was broken by Joey Giar dcllo in their fight at Cleveland Friday, will enter a hospital this week and will be out of the ring at least six months, the In ternational Boxing club here taid today. Boyd, knocked out in the fifth round, suffered two fractures of the jaw. A tooth was also driven into the gum. and the surgery will include operations on both the jaw and the gum.

With the players turning around to face the President, Mr. Eisenhower flanked by Al ston on the right and Stengel on the left, threw out the first ball to catcher Roy Campanella of the Dodgers. The President held the ball aloft several minutes before let ting go with a chest-high throw to Campanella who returned the ball to Mr. Eisenhower. The Dodgers, trying to make it two in a row over the Amer ican league champions, were un derdogs but they were confident that the odds makers, who made the Yankees 6 to 5 favorites to win the first game and 8 to 5 to take the series, were mistaken. MEDFORIvlWrPJBUini ipaDmnr Crater, Med ford Priming For Friday Evening Scrap Coach Leonard Warren of the Crater High school Comets said last night, "We are working on an offense against defenses Med ford has tried. We are strength ening our pass defense. Then we are trying to figure out a way to stop Medford The Medford Black Tornado and the Comets mix at the sen ior high stadium here Friday night in a Southernm Oregon conference and District 6 A-l en counter. Medford is a heavy fa vorite. Warren said that his coaches and players were working out blocking changes to go with the offense they hope will move against Medford. The Comets hope also that they can provide means to keep the ball more often than they did against Grants Pass last week. Grants Pass had the ball for 75 offen sive plays and Crater for 37. The Comets, according to their mentor, came through their tussle with the Cavemen with out injury of serious conse quence. " Work on Blocking In its drill yesterday coach Fred Spiegelberg's Black Tor nado had individual work on downfield blocking and the backs ran through plays. The Medfordites worked on defense against the Crater attack and sought polish of its own assault with a lengthy dummy scrim mage. This afternoon's order of busi ness was to include a short con tact scrimmage. A passing scrim mage was on the agenda and other work included defense, in cluding pass defense. Medford got by Marshfield without anyone getting badly battered although players are nursing bruises. particularly halfback Gary Riley, on whom the Pirates had a watchful eye. Gordon Owsley, who shares the Bowden Wyatt Mentor of Week Knoxville, Tenn. U.R) He was jarring opponents with his "rock 'n' roll" football when Elvis Presley still was in a play pen. He's bringing that same smash ing style back again to the Southland, which means that a lot of football players are going to be scattered around on Dixie gridirons this season. Since he has been back "home" there's a recruiting pro gram going on but it is strictly "selective" because he doesn't want to lose any good talent through scholastic shakiness. He is the United Press coach of the week, Bowden Wyatt of those vigorous Volunteers from Tennessee. Not Upset ' It wasn't exactly an upset when his boys went on a single wing whing-ding Saturday and deglamourjzed Auburn, 35-7. but the show of strength was a little surprising in a game that had been rated all even. There also was a little aston ishment over the development of Wyatt's new football giant so quickly, since he has only been back at his alma mater one full season. Tennesse was supposed to be improved over last year's original Wyatt operation which compiled a 6-4-1 record, but Auburn also was supposed to be potent Fletcher Back of Week Among Midwest Elevens Indianapolis, Ind. (U.PJ He came to Purdue highly recom mended and in his junior year he has made believers out of 'doubting Thomases." Despite a knee injury, he gave Missouri fits last Saturday with his razzle-dazzle running. He scored the winning touchdown to help get Jack Mollenkopf's new grid regime off to a flying start. He is little Tommy "the Bomb" Flatcher. the United Press Midwest "Back of the Week." left half slot with Riley, has been troubled by boils. While the Tcrnado is favor ed, it is going into the fuss Fri day mindful of the first Crater- Medford game in 1953. Medford was picked to win that one but was spilled 20 to 14 by he Comets. In 1954 and 1955 Med ford won 41 to 19 and 37 to 0, respectively. Sidelights On Series WAGER BOOSTS ODDS Brooklyn iU.RJ A late boost in odds, due according to the odds makers to a $400,000 wa ger placed on the Yankees by a wealthy Texas oil man, sent the Yankees into the opening game of the World Series today as 8-5 favorites to win the whole se ries. REESE PLAYED IN 1S41 Brooklyn U.P.) Dodger shortstop Pee Wee Reese, 37, will be the only player on the field at Ebbetts field today who played in the first World Series clash of the Dodgers and Yan kees in 1941. Shortstop Phil Rizzuto of the Yankees almost made it. He was released a month before the end of the season. YANKEES FAMILIAR Brooklyn M.P.) Manager Ca esy Stengel said his Yankee players are pretty familiar with the Dodgers before today's game. "We play 'em down South every spring," Casey explained. He thought a minute and added "and we usually play em every fall, too." SAL TESTS THEORY Brooklyn U.P.) Sal Maglie who was slated to put his theory to the test pretty quickly, had a pre-game observation about the World Series. "Pitching to the Yankees,1 said Sal, scheduled to be Brook lyn's opening game pitcher, "is just like pitching against Mil waukee or Cincinnati except that there's not as much pres sure." DODGERS FACE LEFTIES Brooklyn ;U.P.) To get ready for lefty Whitey Ford of the Yankees, the Brooklyn Dodgers batted against southpaw pitchers in their workout Tuesday with Fred Kipp, Chuck Templeton, Ken Lehman and Sandy Koufax serving 'em up. Duke Snider hit several "home runs" to lead the drill. DEFINITE ON LARSON Brooklyn W.P.) In advance of today's game, Manager Casey Stengel of N the New York Yan kees, was pretty certain that righthander Don Larson would be the Yankees' starting pitcher in the second game Wednesday, come what may. But Dodger pilot Walter Al ston was playing his pitching cards pretty close to his chest. Some observers thougnt Alston might use relief ace Clem La bine as a starter, if he isn't used today, and saved tired 27-game winner Don Newcombe for Fri day at Yankee stadium. Cas May Change Ducks' Line-Up Eugene, Ore. (U.R) Coach Len Casanova, stepping up the tempo of the workouts, indicat ed Tuesday he may make several changes in the University of Oregon Iine-iip before Saturday's game against UCLA. The Ducks went through a hard running session with full pads Tuesday after hearing an other warning from Casanova, that a repeat of the mistakes they made against Idaho might cost them the game against UCLA. Wichita, Kansas, ranks first in the production of personal type aircraft and is third in number of persons employed in aircraft manufacture. Oddsmakers Give Edge To Spartans New York (U.R) Broadway oddsmakers took time out from the World Series today to pick Michigan State, the nation's second ranked team, by a close three-points over fourth-ranked Michigan iu what shapes up as Saturday's top game in college football. A crowd of about 100,000 is expected at Ann .Arbor, Mich., for the Big Ten clash with odds makers almosl reluctant to name a favorite. Michigan clobbered UCLA, 42-13, in its season open er last week, while State downed Stanford, 21-7, in its first game. In the nationally televised game from Fort Worth, Tex., sixth-ranked Texas Christian was the pick by 14 points over Arkansas, while Oklahoma, the nation's top team, was estab lished such a prohibitive choice that odds were not listed for its meeting with Kansas State. In the other games involving the ranked teams, fifth-ranked Ohio State was picked by 13 over Stanford; seventh-ranked Pittsburgh, winner of two straight, was the choice by six over California; eighth-ranked Mississippi 14 over Houston; ninth-ranked Southern Califor nia by one three over Wisconsin, and lOth-ranked Tennessee -y six over Duke. Third-ranked Georgia Tech is idle Saturday.

Wesley Ruling Seen This Week Corvallis, Ore. (U.R) Ore gon State officials said a decis ion may be made this week on the eligibility of Sam Wesley, the Beavers' star back. The school is waiting for reg istration data from Lincoln uni versity in Jefferson City, Mo. Lincoln's registrar has con firmed that Wesley enrolled there for one term in 1954. Meanwhile, Coach Tommy Prothro stressed ball handling in team workouts in an attempt to iron out a bad case of fumble itis. The Beavers fumbled the ball 12 times in their first two games.

Puscas will fight Teddy Hall, Seattle, in the top four-rounder in the event headlined by Carl (Bobo) Olson and Sammy Walk er. The main event will be a light-heavyweight bout. Olson is the former world middleweight champion. To get in trim for his bout Puscas has been doing vigorous roadwork and has been boxing eight to nine rounds nightly at the Police Athletic league gym nasium. He's been doing lots of work on Uhe heavy bag to de velop his combination punches. The 24-year-old Medford bat tler has been serious in his train ing since deciding to make the professional move. Jennings says that he is a much improved pugilist. Ezzard Charles Disqualified in London Scuffle London (U.R) Former heavyweight champion Ezzard Charles of Cincinnati, Ohio, hardly rates today as the most popular American fighter to visit Britain in recent years. Charles was thunderously booed when he left the ring Tuesday night after losing to young Welsh heavyweight Dick Richardson on a second-round disqualification for repeated holding. A sellout crowd of 10, 600 had jammed Harringay Arena to see the former champ meet the rapidly rising Rich ardson. Charles insisted later he didn't think he did too much holding.
