TE1T MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, October 25. 1956 Marty Quits White Sox Pilot Post Chicago U.R; Marty Marion resigned today as manager of the Chicago White Sox. He said he felt the club, which finished third, should have made a "better showing" in the 1956 pennant race. Marion's resignation came as a surprise. He said he felt he should step aside so that the Sox would be free to appoint a new manager. Marion said he reached his decision with regret because he likes Chicago and its fans, but he said he felt the move was In the best interest of the club. The club announced accept ance of Marion's resignation and said it would fulfill its obliga tion to him under the terms of hii 1957 contract. He had a two year contract, but his salary never was made public. The Sox said no successor has yet been considered. Mendyk Named Back of Week East Lansing, Mich. (U.R) Dennis The Menace Mendyk was named "Midwest Back of the Week" by United Press today de spite the fact that he plays second string on the Michigan State football team. Mendyk was picked on the basis of his performance in the Notre Dame game last week. He acored twice against the Irish and consistently ripped off large hunks of ground to, lead the Spartans to a 47-14 victory. The century plant blooms once in its lifetime rather than once in a hundred years. See It Oct. 25th LEA MOTORS 5th at Bartlett Ph. 2-6185 JACKIE PUSCAS BEATS HALL IN DEBUT AS PRO Jackie Puscas, Medford, im pressive and much improved over his showings last winter and spring as an amateur, handed Teddy Hall. Seattle, a thrashing last night in his first professional boxing bout. Puscas fought lha more ex perienced Hall In a prelim inary to the Eddie Machen Johnny Holman bout in Port land and took a four round decision. The Medford lightweight dropped Hall for a nine count in the first chucker, staggered the Seattleite in the second round and hurt him in the third. Desire to put the Wash- ingtonian away look some of the sharpness and smoothness out of Puscas' fist flinging but the neophyte pro report edly astounded some of the Portland fighf crowd. They had rated Hall, with some 50 pro fights behind him, a 4-3 favorite. Hugh Jennings, manager and trainer of the Medford fighter, said that Puscas's box ing left something to be de sired but that the former na tional AAU champion recog nizes where he needs improve ment. Plans for future bouts for Puscas are being mapped on the basis of his Portland showing. MEDFORDfivTRIBUNE Eddie Machen Stops Holman in Seventh By KEN WHEELER Portland, Ore. (U.R) Un beaten Eddie Machen, a light ning fast puncher from Redding, Calif., today eyed a tentative date with Tommy (Hurricane) Jackson after his knockout win over big Johnny Holman here Wednesday night. Commenting on his seventh round kayo of Holman, the sev enth ranked heavyweight cred ited his sharp left jab through the early rounds with the win. The fight was carried to a na tionwide audience by radio and television over the ABC net work. It was the first fight ever beamed nationally from the Pa cific Northwest. "My left jab did the work all the way," Machen said in his .Hrpinff mom after the fieht ! ended in 28 seconds of the sev enth round. Sid Flaherty, manager of the unbeaten heavyweight, said the fight went according to plan. "I told him to box the first six rounds, then go after him," Flaherty said. According To Plan If that was the plan, Machen followed it to perfection. For six rounds he stalked his heav ier opponent, then unleashed a flurry of blurred leather as the i seventh opened. Holman dropped to the can- Ivas in his own corner and strug : gled to get up as Referee Eddie !Volk tolled off the count. He managed to struggle to his knees ; as Volk reached ten. i The sudden Machen attack fol lowed an uneventful six rounds, Macnen scored irequenuy in ine early going with his crisp left jabs and constantly managed to evade the lumbering-in Holman who failed to connect with a potent right hand. Holman went into the fight at 199 while Machen weighed in at 194V4. 13th Knockout It was the 13th knockout scor ed by the 24-year-old Machen in his young career. Comparing Machen with oth er men he has faced, the big Chicago puncher said Bob Sat- terfield, who outpointed Holman earlier this year, hit harder. "But Machen hits quicker and strikes faster." Holman said, re flecting on the fight. "It sure came fast," Holman said. Machen had the edge on "the referee's and both judges' cards when his sudden burst ended the bout. Referee Volk had giv en all six rounds to him while Judge Ralph Gruman saw it for Holman in the fifth and sixth Judge George Robinson gave Holman one round. Volk's card read 36-30 while Gruman had it 35-31 and Robin son 34-32. Puscas Wins Prelim Machen also revealed plans to move to Portland and fight out of the Rose City.

OBStRVID IN THE BEST CIRCLES BDDRBDN SIX YEARS OLD 422- 2 ,5Qt. , 80 u HISK017 Black Tornado Goes To Ashland Friday Medford's Black Tornado got its last grooming of the week last night for its return to the Southern Oregon conference and District 6 A-l scramble. After pausing in the loop race for a side trip to Eureka, Calif., last week, the Tornado sees its third league and district battle of the season Friday night against the Grizzlies of Ashland high. The game will be at 8 p.m. at Ashland. Medford enters the conflict as a lopsided favorite with one of its best teams in years while Ashland football is at a low ebb but building for the future. So far this year the Tornado is un beaten and once tied in seven games. Ashland has a victory only over Phoenix in seven ses sions on the gridiron. The teams have met two com mon foes. Ashland lost 42 to 0 to Roseburg, a club which Med ford beat 40 to 14. Medford trim med Crater 34 to 12 and the Comets licked the Ashlanders 32 to 12. Wet weather and mud are mis erable to either club on a foot ball field but such conditions, if they exist on Friday night, should make the situation more in Medford's favor. The Black Tornado is known for its power on the ground. Ashland's main offensive hopes are on its wide open play and passing. Medford Rooks Make Good in Pro Grid Action By EARL WRIGHT United Press Sports Writer The National Football League wasn't impressed by the rookies it drafted this year but several of them, particulary Don Mc Ilhenny and Lenny Moore, are making good in a big way. The Detroit Lions drafted Howard Hopalong C a s s a d y, Ohio State's highly-publicized Ail-American halfback. No. 1 to fill the gap left by the retire ment of Doak Walker. Hopalong has shown promise by Mcllhen ny, Detroit's third draft choice, has performed brilliantly. Mcllhenny has scored five touchdowns and ranks fifth in the league in rushing with 286 yards after four games. It would be appropriate if he turns into Walker's replacement. Like Walker, he played college foot ball at Southern Methodist. Moore also come to the pro league lacking an All-America tag. But he has been just about the only bright spot so far for the Baltimore Colts, who have lost three games since winning their opener. The former Penn State halfback, who was drafted No. 1 by Baltimore, has scored four touchdowns. Other Standouts Other rookies who appear to have the talent necessary to make good in the pro circuit in clude end Leon Clarke and full back Joe Marconi of the Los Angeles Rams; halfbback Don Schaefer and center Bob Pelle grini of the Philadelphia Eagles; quarterback Gary Glick and end Lowell Perry of the Pittsburgh Steelers; halfback Perry Jeter of the Chicago Bears, and half back Preston Carpenter of the Cleveland Browns. The Cardinals (4-0) defend the Eastern Division's only perfect record against the Washington Redskins (1-3) Sunday at Chi cago. The Cardinals are picked tc win because their defensive unit has given up the fewest points in the league, 43. Sunday's other selections: Rams (103) over Lions (4-0) at Los Angeles; Bears (3-1) over Forty-Niners (1-3) at San Fran cisco; Packers (2-2) over Colts (1-3) at Baltimore; Giants (3-1) over Eagles (212) at New York; Browns (1-3) over Steelers (1-3) at Cleveland. also has the advantage of a heav ier line which has agility along with its weight. Third Game In League it will be the third loop action fdr both schools. Medford has played Klamath Falls as well as Crater while Ashland has met Grants Pass in addition to the Comet game. Tornado Coach Fred Spiegel berg reported last night that Gordon Owsley was still hospit alized yesterday for treatment of a boil but that he expected the left half to be in action tomorrow. The Medford mentor is ex pected to call for his usual start ers. In the line on offense that would be Dick Copple and Mike Stearns, ends; Neil Plumley and Larry Cranston, tackles; Bob Apple and Tom Merton, guards; Dick Swinney, center; Dick Mc Laughlin, quarterback; Gary Riley, left half; Eldon Francis, right half, and Bob Gee or Loren Christean, fullback. On defense it could be Copple and Stearns or Tom Hamlin, ends; Plumley and Cranston tackles; Apple, guard; McLaugh lin, Merton and Jim Funston, linebackers, and Francis, Rile and Owsley, halfbacks. Coach Al Simpson for Ash land may call on Jim Witt and Ron Gray, ends; Frank Conle and Jerry Stubblefield, tackles; Tom Delsman and Jack Eber hart, guards; Dale Olson, center; Ron Mickle, quarter; Bob Davis. Bob Murray or Al South, half backs, and Ken Dye, fullback.
