Feller Won't Be Asked To Return as Chucker Cleveland U.PJ Bob Feller, one of baseball's greatest stars and an "institution" in Cleve land, may be looking "for anoth er pitching job before the end of the month. Feller, who helped bring the million-a-year crowds to Cleve land baseball, won't be asked to return to the Indians' pitching staff. Instead. G e rfe r a 1 Manager Hank Greenberg is ready to of ftir the former speedball king a front office assignment on a take-it-or-leave-it basis. It's a safe bet that Feller will leave it. An Indiana spokesman said Greenberb wants a younger pitcher added to the staff in Fel ler's place, because thai present staff is aging.

By RICHARD VOUMARD Melbourne, Australia (U.PJ The first major contingent of American athletes settled down in their Olympic living quarters today for the final stages of their training despite the air of international tension that still hung over the games. A total of 64 U. S. athletes and officials arrived by plane Thursday to offset partially the gloomy effect of the withdrawal of Switzerland, sixth nation to cancel its entry in the games during the current world crisis. The Swiss withdrawal, an nounced at Olten, Switzerland, reduced the number of nations entered in the games to 68, one less than the record. Olympic officials, however, are continu ing their efforts to persuade na tions that already have with drawn to reenter. The Swiss Olympic committee called its announcement "defin ite and irrevocable." The com mittee said it would have gone ahead with plans to compete if the seven national sports organi Gresham's Gophers Battle For Last A-l Grid Berth By UNITED PRESS The Gresham Gophers were expected to grab off the final class A-l playoff berth tonight when they tangle with Parkrose in the state's top prep football game. Gresham, which lost in the state final last year to Marsh field, is unbeaten so far. Astoria and Beaverton tangle a Astoria with the winner having a chance at a tie with Gresham in District 3 only if Parkrose wins. Other class A-l playoff berths have gone to Marshfield, Med ford, Albany, Pendleton, Mc Minnville and Benson and Lin coln of Portland. In A-2 ranks, Reedsport hopes Berrios-Elorde Tangle Tonight New York .U.PJ Sawed-off Miguel Berrios of Puerto Rico and slender Flash Elorde of the Philippines, two eager young featherweight contenders, meet tonight in a televised return elimination 10-rounder at Madi son Square Garden. Although they are rated al most on a par as contenders, Berrios is favored at 9-5 to beat Elorde because of his split-decision over Flash in their August thriller and because of his re lentless attack. Among the world's 126-pound aspirants. 24-year-old Berrios is ranked fifth; 23-year-old Elorde. sixth. Each is gunning for a shot at the title. Elrode knocked out 14 of his "45 opponents. His 33-10-2 record includes s t o ps by champion Sandy Saddler and by Kid Inde pendence. Berrios has had only 25 pro fights for a 19-6-0 record. He registered only three kayoes. He never was stopped.

But one organization, the Gymnastics federation, voted against participation in the games because of Russia's ac tions in Hungary. Landy To Enter This bad news was somewhat balanced here by the arrival of the Americans, described by U.S. Olympic committee President Kenneth (Tug) Wilson as "the best Olympic team we ever fielded," and by the announce ment that world mile record holder John Landy of Australia will compete in both the 1,500 meter run and the 5,000 meter run. Landy, holder of the mile mark of 3:58.0, has been bother ed by sore Archilles tendons in recent training, but said he now believes he will be able to race in both events. The appearance of the slim runner, one of the greatest sports heroes in Aus tralian history, is sure to pro vide one of the emotional high lights of the games for Aussie fans. Landy indicated he would make the 5,000 meter run his main target, rather than the 1,500 meter, or so-called "metric mile." He said he will swing now into full-speed workouts on cinders for the last two weeks to cut down on his lap times. to sew up a playoff spot with a win over Myrtle Point; defend ing state champion Vale clashes with a good Lakeview club: Glide plays Eagle Point, and Wy'east meets Seaside. All of them are crucial contests.

Meanwhile, site for the Lin-coln-Marshfield playoff game in Portland Nov. 16 has been switched again, tentatively that is. First it was decided the Lin coln field would be too wet and to play the game on the Frank lin field. Lincoln protested. At present the situation is: If it's rainy, the game will be at Frank lin. If it is dry enough, it'll be played at Lincoln. Note to Marshfield fans: Lin coln is on Portland's west side. Franklin is on the east side.

United rrca New York (U.H) One little shot in the pitching arm and the Cincinnati Redlegs next sea son are going to be forcing a National league demand that they be given a saliva test. Taking an advance look at the 1957 campaign, it seems obvious that if the muscular Reds get any lift at all on the mound it is quite probable that they will run away and hide from the rest of the league. Looking them over, they shape up this way: Cincinnati Redlegs Give 'em even one, or possibly two starters to go with Brooks Lawrence, Hal Jeffcoat, Joe Nuxhall and Johnny Klippstein. and those hitters will break up the National league.
