John Podres
Ready Now
Brooklyn (U.R) Southpaw
Johnny Podres, with that prec
ious Navy discharge in his pocket
insisted today he's "ready to
pitch right now," and the
Dodgers may take him at his
word by putting him to work in
Puerto Rico.
Podres, the Dodgers, World
Series hero of 1955 who was dis
charged from the Navy Friday

is."
"I'm going to have a talk with
Buzzy Bavasi, Dodger vice presi

to do," said Podres. "I've heard

NCAA Approves
Grid Bowl Frays
Kansas City. Mo. (U.R) The
National Collegiate Athletic as
sociation today stamped its ap
proval on the Sugar Bowl, with
its forced segregation law, and
nine other bowls.
Executive Director Walter By
ers explained earlier that the
forced segregation in Louisiana
would have no bearing on NCAA
approval, since there was noth
ing in the NCAA bylaws con
cerning segregation.
The other post-season games
approved by the NCAA were
Corn Bowl. Cotton Bowl. Gator
Bowl, Orange Bowl, Prairie
Grants Pass-Med ford Encounter
Tops Week End Gridiron Slate
Reserved seat tickets for the
Medford - Grants Pais High
school football game at Grants
Pais next Friday were all sold
out this morning, the two
schools reported.
Four-hundred tickets, which
went on lale here, were all
sold by 7:10 a.m. At Grants
Pass the available reserves
were gone in less than one
hour.
Frank Thomas, Grants Pass
principal, said that 1.000 gen
eral admission seats, all under
cover, will go one sale when
the gates open at 6:30 p.m. on
Friday. They are at each end
of the reserve section and will
be between the 10-yard lines
and the goal lines.
It is possible that bleachers
will be set up in front of the
grandstand.
Grants Pass will be scene of
the biggest high school football
attraction in southern Oregon
this Friday.
The Cavemen will be hosts to
the Medford Black Tornado and
reportedly are intent on an un
pleasant welcome. District 6 A-l
championship honors rest on the
outcome.
Medford is preparing for what
is expected to be its toughest
foe of the season outside of No.
1 rated Marshfield. Ditto Grants
Pass.
The Tornado has a bit better
record against common foes this
season but sources close to the
Medford squad, who have seen
the Grants Pass aggregation in
a number of encounters, sound
the warning that the Cavemen
have developed into a power
ful eleven which is a severe
threat to championship aspira
tions of the Pear Capital con
tingent. Final District Mix
It will be the final district
and Southern Oregon conference
game for each school. Both are
unbeaten in counting games.
In the second ranking game
in importance on Friday night,
Eagle Point will entertain Hen
ley. The Eagles are unbeaten in
the District 6 A-2 chase and will
sew up the title with a win.
They are sure of a tie for the
crown after their win last week
end over Illinois Valley.
In other action Klamath Falls
plays at Ashland, Rogue River
at Illinois Valley and Glendale
at Phoenix in the Rogue league
and Crater at Myrtle Creek.
St. Mary's is waiting for word
on the date of its playoff with
Merrill of Klamath county for
the District 5B mantle. Merrill
nipped Malin 12' to 7 on Satur
day for the Klamath title. St.
Mary's is Jackson county B
champ. Coach Millard Webb of
the Medford parochial team said
he hoped to have a game with
another school or else a squad

Lions Only Perfect
Record Eleven After
Downing Rams 16-7
By EARL WRIGHT
.. United Press Sports) Writer
The Detroit Lions are trying
to become the first National foot
ball league team to leap from
last to first and don't bet too
much they won't pull the trick.
Detroit, which finished last in
the Western division in 1955,
cleared one of its stiffest hurdles
Sunday and emerged as the pro
circuit's only perfect record
team by whipping the Rams at
Los Angeles, 16-7. The victory
kept the Lions (5-0) a game ahead
of the Chicago Bears (4-1) who
overpowered the San Francisco
Forty Niners, 38-21.
The Eastern race tightened as
the New York Giants moved into
a first place tie with the Chicago
Cardinals (both 4-1). The Giants,
defeated the Philadelphia Eagles
20-3, while the Washington Red
skins upset the Cardinals, 17-14.
It was the Cardinals' first loss
after sweeping four games.
Cleveland Hopes Fade
The Pittsburgh Steelers virt
ually ended Cleveland's faint
hope of keeping the Eastern title
by rallying to down the Browns,
24-16. Both the Browns and the
Rams, defending Western cham
pions, are in last place with 1-4
records with only seven games
to play.
Lenny Moore, Baltimore's can
didate for rookie-of-the-year hon
ors, made touchdown runs of 72
and 79 yards to lead the Colts
to a 28-21 triumph over the
Green Bay Packers in the other
game.
The defensive platoons play
ed vital roles in three of the key
contests.
Bobby Layne scored Detroit's
touchdown and also booted the j
extra point and two field goals. I
But Yale Lary. a defensive back,
was the lad who frustrated the
Rams before 76,758 fans. He .
set up a field goal with a 38- j
yard punt return and one of his ;
three pass interceptions led to
the Lion touchdown
Burly Rick Casares plunged
for four Bears touchdowns at
San Francisco, but it was little
Perry Jeter who kept the Forty
Niner defense in trouble. He
proved one of thei most elusive
bell-carriers ever seen in Kezar
stadium and set up two Bear
touchdowns.
The Cardinals took a 14-0
lead at Chicago but the Redskins
rallied on Sam Baker's field
goal and Al Dorow's 34-yard
scoring pass to Dick James. Dor
os followed with a 40-yard toss
to end Steve Meilinger for the
decisive touchdown.
New York's defense shackled
Philadelphia's offense at Yan
kee stadium. Charley Conerly
threw a 20-yard touchdown pass
to Frank Gifford and set up Alex
Webster's scoring plunge and
one of Ben Agajanian's two
field goals.
The Browns took a 13-0 lead
at Cleveland but Pittsburgh's
defensive unit blocked a field
goal try and intercepted two
passes in the second quarter.
Quarterback Ted Marchibroda
took advantage of each Brownie
error. He followed them with
touchdown passes to Elbie Nick
el and Lowell Perry and set up
a scoring plunge by Lynn Chand

Only Six Unbeaten, Untied
Among Major College Grid

By TIM MORIARTY
United Press Sports Writer
flnlv nirkhnma Heoreia Tech

dread disease, which started out
as a minor scare this season and
now has developed into a full
scale epidemic.
Mirhiiran Statp Southern Cali
fornia, Yale and Baylor fell vic
tim to the gridiron malady dur
ing the past week end, leaving
onlv six nprfprt record teams
among the major colleges and at
least three of the survivors
Tennessee, Princeton and Iowa
are in imminent danger of extinction.
Iowa has the toughest row to
hoe. The Hawkeyes run into
Michigan next Saturday and
then must play Minnesota, Ohio
State and Notre Dame. Tennes
see has a date with Georgia Tech
Nov. 10, while Princeton still
must face Yale, Nov. 17, in a
game that undoubtedly will de
cide the Ivy league champion
ship. g
Face Easy schedules
Now look at the comparative
ly easy schedules facing the
other three perfect record teams:
If Wyoming, which has won
its first seven games this season,
can get by Utah State (6-1) next
Saturday, the Cowboys will be
home free. They then will close
out their season against Mon
tana (1-5) and Brigham Young
(0-5).
Oklahoma has an important
Big Seven conference date with
Colorado (5-1) next week end,
then runs into such "patsies" as
Iowa State (1-5), Missouri (3-3),
Nebraska (2-4) and Oklahoma
A&M (2-3-1).
In additi'on to Tennessee,
Georgia Tech plays out the
string against Duke (3-3), Ala
bama (1-4), Florida (4-1) and
Georgia (2-3-1).
Sooners Win "Big"
In surrendering its No. 1 spot
to Michigan State last week,
Oklahoma realized it would have
to win "big" against Notre Dame
to reclaim the top rung. The
Sooners did just that by hand
ing the Irish their first shutout
in 50 games, 40-0, but then got
an unexpected assist from Illin
ois, which knocked off Michigan
State, 20-13, in the season's
upset.
John Brodie accounted for
three touchdowns as Stanford
continued its march to the Rose
Bowl by upending Southern
California, 27-19; Texas A&M
knocked Baylor out of the per
fect record ranks, 19-13, and
Colgate surprised Yale, 14-6.
In other major reversals, Min
nesota, led by quarterback
Bobby Cox, turned back Michi

8-5 Choice
Over Norkus
New York (U.R) Young Joey

veteran Charley Norkus of Port
Washington, N.Y., tonight in
their 10-rounder at St. Nicholas
arena.

mont network at 7:30 p.m. PST.

comeback trail in two years. And
he lost both. Each is a good
puncher.
Although Joey is six years
younger than Norkus, he had
only one less fight, 39 to 40.

13 knockouts. He was stopped
four times. Norkus' 24-14-0 list
includes 16 KO's. He was stopped
