Baylor Brightens Hoop Prospects For Seattle U Seattle One of the most ex citing player prospects in the Northwest, six returning letter- men and a brand new coach makes the 1956-57 basketball pic ture at Seattle University the brightest since back in 1949 when Chieftain fans hailed the arrival of their first All-Amer ica combination:, Eddie and Johnny O'Brien.

Thursday, October 18, 1958 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIHTEIfT Crater Girds for District Engagement With Ashland Crater The Crater - high Comets, expecting to meet an improved Ashland Grizzly foot ball team in District 6 A-l action at Ashland Friday, have been adapting their defense to meet the threat of Grizzly split form ation plays and passing. The Comets have had a two weeks lay-off from competition and should be at near full strength for the engagement. They took it fairly light last week but had one good scrim mage. Fundamentals got much review. Earlier in the season Crater would have been a heavy fav orite for the skirmish. But the Ashlanders seem to have finally found themselves and are ex pected to give the Comets just about all the football they want. The Grizzlies lost by a decisive St. Mary's, Talent Fight For Lone Lead in B Loop St. Mary's of Medford and Talent high collide on the Med ford Senior high field Friday night in the game which may be the decider in the Jackson County B league football chase. Both clubs are unbeaten in the circuit. Talent has licked both Jacksonville and Rogue River and will get a forfeit win from Prospect. Friday's game thereby completes its regular loop slate. St. Mary's has bounc ed Jacksonville and has taken a forfeit from Prospect. It has Rogue River yet to play. Friday winner will be lone loop leader. At St. Mary's this week coach Millard Webb has aimed at im proving the timing of the St. Mary's offense. The squad may be in healthy shape with the exception of Jim Darland, full back, who ran a knife in his arm. Francis Murphy, tackle is Swaps' Life Depends on Special Cast Camden, N. J. (U.PJ The life of Swaps, a million dollar's worth of horseflesh, hung today on two metal rods, a sling and some plaster of plastic. The items make up a specially- designed cast around Swaps' broken left hind leg and a rig to keep it two inches off the floor of his Garden State Park stall. The cast, devised by Dr. Jacques Jenney of the University of Pennsylvania veterinary hos pital, has immobilized Swaps' maimed leg from the hock down to promote healing and prevent recurrence of last Sunday's bad bump which aggravated a still tender bone break below the knee. On it, depend life and recov ery for the chestnut gold, world record-breaker four times and fourth highest money winner in American racing history with earnings of $848,000. Swaps, 1955 Kentucky Derby winner, was reported resting compfortably by his trainer, Me- shack Tenney. But Tenney ad mitted that additional injuries or further aggravation of his present plight, could put the thoroughbred on the critical list. ATTENTION HUNTERS!

"No more of this nightlife stuff" Tighe snorted.

Beat Crater JV While the slated tilt with Prospect was cancelled last week end the Crusaders of Medford did not go idle. They played the Crater high junior varsity on Saturday evening and won 19 to 14. Due to a busy tele phone earlier this week, the outcome of the game did not reach the Mail Tribune. At Talent coach Dick Thorpe has stressed offense this week making alterations in the attack in part to make up for the loss of Phil Combs, tailback. Fred Helm will step into the slot since Combs is out with a hurt knee. Thorpe feels that the Bulldogs will be "up" for the game and says that they are looking their best of the season in practice. Making their first start offense will be Buzz Heard, end, nd Jerry Rice and Bill Snyder, guards.

Nevertheless, the Ashland pass ing and running attack was a threat all night and, but for a few fumbles, it would have been a closer outcome. Offensively for Crater coach Leonard Warren may start Jerry Kime and Fred Herrmann at ends, Bill Morse and Dick Davis at tackles, Roger Seaman and Don Hubbard at guards and Neil Green at center with Ray Birge alternating. In the back- field it should be Wayne Allen at quarterback, George Juveland at left half and Don Goyette at full. Ron Harrison and Jerome McQuade are pushing Allen Barnes at right half. Carl Koellner probably will pair with Kime at the defensive flanks with Green and Birge spelling Seaman and Hubbard at guards. McQuade and Barnes may be the linebackers with Harrison and Lee Gossett at half back and Juveland at safety. Possible starters for Ashland are Jim Witt and Roy Gray at ends. Frank Conley and Jerry Stubblefield at tackles, Tom Delsman and Jack Eberhart at guards. Dale Olson at center, Ron Mickle at quarterback, Al South and Bob Davis or Bob Murray at halfbacks and Ken Dye at full.

"I don't know what the future holds," said Griffith, who is studying offers to move the club to Los Angeles, San Francisco or Louisville.

Sport of Kings, Court Tennis Enjoying Revival Washington The 700-year- old game of court tennis grandsire of lawn tennis, table tennis, squash, rackets, and bad minton at last has gone col legiate. The first International inter collegiate match in this med ieval game of kings was played earlier this year in England be tween American and British teams. Though they lost the meet, the eight American play ers from Harvard, Yale, Prince ton, and Pennsylvania, never the less scored a triumph. When the undergraduates first took up the game two years ago, hardly a one had even seen a court, for none of their schools maintain a place to play tennis. Moreover, experts who trained them on private courts claimed that the exacting game couldn't be mastered within five years. The cc'.legians not only proved the experts wrong but gave their more experienced Oxford Cambridge opponents a good fight, and went on to play in France, the original home of court tennis. Rackets Came Last The game, as devised by monks in the 13th century, was first played with the hand. It is still known in France as le jeu de paurae." Frenchmen later played with a glove, then with a paddle and finally, a racket. By 1600, the peak of the game's popularity. Paris boasted some 1,800 courts. The game was well established in England, too. Henry VIII built several courts, one of which, at Hampton Court Palace, is still used. Though clerics were barred early from tennis play, the game did not come into general dis repute until the 17th century when betting at public matches became scandalous. Kings and gentry continued to play priv ately, but court tennis never regained its former popularity. Today, France has only two courts; England, about 20. In Braitain, where commoners once jeeringly called the game "Royal Tennis," it is now known as tennis, or real tennis. The total of American courts has dropped from a high of 30, be fore the World War I, to 7. The reason, in part, lies in the min imum price of a court: $175,000 Played on Walls and Roof The court's 110-by-38-f o o t cement floor is enclosed by four cement walls 30 feet high. A roofed shed, called the pent house, runs around three walls. It, and the several recesses in the walls to which plays are made are throwbacks to early monastery architecture. when you drive the '57 PLYMOUTH suddenly it's I960 pARrr it i DftVf WITH pot mm A WW ANY CAR A 3.50 Value .... ftW What Wt 1 2 3 4 5 JUHt q CaroMty Tt BrakM. i"wSU AVE IT" ""Till Hew flrtitont BIVFTIK5 IB1II Limit Its U .!.
