The Rears, runaway scoring leaders with 258 points-, face the Lions Hungarian Olympic Athletes at Melbourne Tearing Down Melbourne !J.R) Hungari an Olympic athletes, just arriv ed from the strife in their home land, angrily demanded Satur day that the Communist Hun gary flag flying t the entrance of the Olympic village be torn down. Several youths among the 60 man contingent which reached here by plane from Prague, Czechoslovakia, on Saturday said they would not return home after the Olympics are over. Many of them had engaged in the street fighting in Budapest. Promptly after their arrival, marked by a huge welcome from the froe Hungarian colony and a snub ft welcoming Russian offi cials, the athletes demanded of thrir officials the the Communist Hungary flag be torn down and replaced with a flag of free Hun gary. 'Long Day's By Eugene By JACK GAVETt United Press Drama Editor New York - (U.R) The Am erican theater, struck a some what belated but magnificent blow in its own behalf last week ith the production 'of Eugene O'Neill's "Long Day's Journey Into Night" after letting the British furnish most of the Broadway excitement for the past month. Thete is no doubt that this play, written in 1940 but not made public until this year, ranks with the very best of ' O'Neill ' numerous works, and there are those who already hail it as his hest.' At any rate the prize-givers won't have much of a problem next spring. Story of O'Neills "Loiig Day's Journey Into Nwht'' is a frankly autobiogra phical work involving O'Neill at the ae of 23. his famous actor-fathrr. his mother and his elder brother. It is a devastat inely dramatic dissection of fa mily' personality, and problems which include miserliness, tub erculosis, narcotics addiction, heavy" drinking and two grown sons who seem bound to end -up as ne'er-do-wells. Frederic March. Florence F.1 dridse. Jason Robards Jr., and Bradford Dillman illuminate j the three hours and CO minutes- of tfcii nerve-wracking drama of minnlcd lave and hate with brilliant performances. The O'Neill play makes up fr larccly mediocre- American contributions to the season so " far. Last week's -"Auntie Maine" is 3. big hit.' but it is really not ciuch of a piece of writing and leans heavlv on the talents and popularity of its star. Rosalind Russell. - "Too Late The Phalarope" was a duil dramatic effort and closed after 36 performances. "The Loud Red Patrick" stays on as a modest comedy. Four oU:cr American plays closed the O week they opened because that wss the fate thry deserved. British Flying High Meanwhile the Britisb have ''been flying high.

Lenny Moore's 70-yard touch Corvallis Back After Victory ! Corvallis U.R) Corvallis ; regained some of its normal com posure today following a hectic i week end which saw thousands of Oregon State students cele brate their team's 20-19 win over Stanford Saturday. Meanwhile, Coach Tommy Protliro went over scouting re ports from Idaho, the team OSC plavs next in its march to the Rose Bowl. Oregon State has Iwo regular season games left the one j Saturday at Moscow, Ida., and i a week from Thursday at home j against Oregon, one win in tne two games and the Beavers would be in. Bedlam broke loose Saturday night following the Beaver win. Thousands of students and foot of Red Hunga "We can never compete while the Communist flag flies," said a Hungarian athlete. "If it is not replaced, we will tear it down ourselves." Traditional Flag The youth described the free flag as bearing Hungary's tradi tional red, white and green colors, emblazoned with the em blem of Louis Kossuth, 1848 re volutionary hero in the center, and with a black stripe running diagonally across the flag. After an hour-long discussion, one of the Hungarian Olmpic of ficials announced: "This is a very difficult situation. The flag ques tion will not be decided until Julius Hegyi, the chief of our mission, arrives here on Monday with the rest of our team." Australian Olympic officials said they have no authority to take down the flag of a nation. MEDFORDvJTRIBUNE Journey Into Night' O'Neill on Broadway revival. It must be pointed out, however, that these last . two are made-on-Broadway produc tions. "Long Day's Journey Into Night" is played six evenings a week at the Helen Hayes thea WQifidFTME Woods. Loggers Album No. 2 Ralph Andrews' new "Glory Days of Logging" is an album of big-timber photographs from the days when the donkey en gine ruled the roost in the woods. It was also the time of lowering logs down dizzy inclines, and when logs were sometimes can nonaded down chutes at a hun dred miles an hour to a back water dump. The lumber flume from the backwoods sawmill, floating boards, plank, dimension and timbers to a carloading track, was also a sight to make a rov ing photographer cheer. Hand logging on British Co lumbia's mainland and island coasts' also provided rousing camera subjects, back before World War I and in the 1920s. Editor- Andrews has gathered up the best views from many eld collections of logging pho tographs for his 1956 book. He has also provided illustrations for prose with the bark on from the hands of Stewart Holbrook, Paul Hosmer. and others. One of your Uncle Jim's 1924 essays. entitled "The Short Staker," is included. The Big Wheels It is the scenes of big-wheel logging that really send me on a dream ride into the old days in the timber. I drove two horses on a set of stinger-tongue big wheels in the summers 1910 through 1914 at McCloud in Northern California. Then the logging got steep and the slip tongues with four horses per set of wheels came in. Donkey engine too. Here's how the sting er went, as in the Lake States since the 1880s and as illus trated in "Glory Days of Log ging." The teamster backed his set of two towering wheels common ly ten feet in diameter midway over a load. Then he unloosed the doubletrees and the team Was driven out ahead of the tongue, to which one end of a Monday. November 12. 1956 down dash enabled the Colts to defeat the Cleveland Browns, 21-7; the Los Angeles Rams snapped a five -game losing streak by downing the San Francisco Forty-Niners, 30-6; and rookie Hal Burnine's clutch pass catching sparked the Phila delphia Eagles to a 14-7 triumph over the Pittsburgh Stcelers in Sunday's other contests. To Normal Celebration ball fans converged on down town Corvallis. Traffic jammed up for blocks and wildly shout ing motorcades paraded through the city. But in spite of the general dis order that reigned, no injuries were reported. Firemen Called Observers said that it ap peared every person in the city who had a car was in on the noise making. Those who didn't have cars were piled on the hoods and tops of the vehicles belonging to their friends. Firemen were called nut when the celebrants started a bonfire in the middle of one of the town's busy intersections but no damage was reported. City officials said the whole ry Flag; Some 'Such a decision would have to be made on the highest level," he said, meaning the Interna tional Olympic Committee. Meanwhile, from Eastern Eu ropean refugees now living here came word that many Hungari an athletes plan to ask for poli tical asylum in Australia. "A team member told me in our native tongue that there will be many vacant seats on the plane back to Hungary," said one of these migrants. Hungarian athletes, who re quested that their names be kept secret, told the dramatic story of their flight from Hungary. They told how thousands of revolutionaries had lined the roads begging the athletes to "tell the world everything about what we are doing." Dramatic Scenes There were dramatic scenes at Essendon airport as the awaiting ter. Because of its length, there are no matinees and perform ances start at 7:30 p.m. There are two regular intermissions; no dinner recesses as there have been for three longer O'Neill plays in the past. long, light chain was secured, and was halted. One loader mounted the springboard or Johnson board that stuck backward from the axle, then grabbed the upright' pole handle. The loader swung back on it with all his strength, while driving his legs down on the springboard with all his weight. This would tilt the tongue upward as the end of the springboard was borne back ward and down and rammed into the ground, to prop the new towering tongue. The long chain dangled from pole top to ground. When the heavy axle chain was snaked under the load and toggled, the team out in front pulled the tongue forward and down with the long, light chain. The axle would turn forward with the descent of the tongue and the loading chain would begin to wind on it. When the tongue was brought to a level with the top log of tne load the winding would have lifted the load enough to ride in its sling under the axles. The load's front end was secured to the tongue. Then the pull to the trail-road began. Wild Wheels The trail-road, roughly swamped, wound down a slope, with varying grades. There were no brakes. A load riding near balance would run up on the horses. A load with tail drag ging would make too heavy a haul, most of all down on the landing level. The skilled team ster liked an almost free load. He depended on his skill to guide the wheels into roadside brush when they had picked up speed, and so slow them down. When this did not work too well, the horses were snapped into a trot and guided for quick zigzagging from one brush-piled side of the road to the other. At times the horses were forced into a gallop, with the teamster leaping to keep up with the team. looking sharp to escape trip.-ups t High School Scores SATURDAY FOOTBALL Vale 24 Lake view 14 Eafile Point 20 Glide 0 Stanfield 41 .

By-laws for the new season were roughed out at a meet ing last Friday. GIANTS NAME FOX New York (U.R) The New York baseball Giants today named Charley Fox to scout for them in the Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia areas. Fox was player-manager of the St. Cloud club in the Class C North ern league this year. town apparently had "Rose Bowl fever." The Corvallis airport was fogged in Saturday night, forc ing the plane carrying the vic torious team to land at Portland. Chartered buses carried the squad to Corvallis where a group of 250 students had wait ed patiently until after midnight to greet the team. Cheers rang out far into the morning in wel come. Demand to Remain Hungarians mingled freely with the athletes, sobbing, kissing and singing the Hungarian national anthem. A elderly man unfurled a Hungarian flag draped in black. One man was led way from the airport and taken into cus tody by police after having shout ed "Go home, Ivan" at the Rus sian delegation that had come to welcome the Hungarians. Mikhail Pesliak, assistant chief of the Russian Olympic group, and four other chain-smoking Soviet officials nervously waited in a corner of the terminal to shake hands with the Hungarian leaders. But Hungarian officials, al though aware the Russians were waiting, curtly ordered the ath letes to proceed to the Olympic village. Pesliak and his group left the airport without having seen or spoken to a Hungarian. Fcg Fails to Keep Audience Away A near-capacity crowd braved the fog Saturday night for the third performance of "The Devil Passes" in the Footlighters thea ter at the fairgrounds site. Approximately 80 people were in attendance. The local theater group will present the final three perform ances of the play this Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Curtain time is 8:30 p.m. Mrs. Max Wimmer, Footlight ers president, said the cast has "smoothed out most of the rough spots" noticeable on opening night. She said the audience has been enthusiastic and has also seemed appreciative of the hot coffee which is served at inter mission. Flares at the theater driveway have assisted theatergoers in finding their way through the fog. A "pilot car" operated by Jerry Withers has been guiding them from the highway to park ing lots near the theater. Tickets to- the last three per formances are available at Pur ucker's Piano House, Swem's Book and Gift shop and the thea ter box office. Missile Holds Place 01 Former Cannon Lyons. N.Y. (U.R) The com- munity of Lyons has something unique in the way of a village park showpiece. When World War II came, the World War I Austrian cannon mounted on a 15-foot concrete base in the park was removed and scrapped to help in Ameri ca's war effort. For years since, the village fathers pondered what to put in its place. Sampson Air Base, just closed down, has supplied the answer. A modern "Matador" guided missile, never put in use, was was obtained and erected on the long-vacant concrete base. or sudden swings of the stinger tongue. It could, and sometimes did, sting to kill." It was vital to keen tierht linps on the team, to control' the horses and to provide a measure of balance and steadiness nn tho running drive down hill. Once a too-well balanced load was brought safely down the slnne the reward was the easy haul to the landing. The loafing ride on the empty wheels back to the woods was always welcome. Reserves Go On Sale Here For Play-Off Reserve seat tickets for the state quarter-finals football game between Medford and Gresham High schools will go on public sale around 6:45 a.m. here Tuesday, Nov. 13. The game between the Dis trict 6 and District 3 A-l cham pions will be at 8:15 p.m. Fri day, Nov. 16, at the Medford stadium. Coaches Fred Spiegclberg and Bob Newland of Medford scout ed the Gresham eleven last Fri day in its 26 to 6 verdict over Parkrose. Spiegelberg brought back word that the Gophers will he a tough assignment for the Black Tornado. Gresham Solid Gresham has a solid club, which, although not sensational, is a steady machine, the mentor said. The line is big overall and the backfield. while short on weight, is long on speed. Bob Schloredt handles the ball adept ly at quarterback and is a good long passer. Dave Woodford and Jerry McKee. a pair of 145 pounders, are fleet halfbacks and potent Gopher weapons on quickie plays fAm the T forma tion. The Gophers also indicated strong defense. Spiegelberg said that the Tor nado would have movies and a chalk talk this afternoon with a field drill of considerable length to follow. Tuesday's workout should be a rugged one. the mentor stated. One workout this week under lights is con templated. Much review as undertaken in workouts last week with prac tice on fundamentals and team offensive and defensive play. The club did not drill Friday but wound up last week's prac tices with a hard one-half hour scrimmage on Thursday. The Tornado paid particular atten tion during the week to new series of plays it has been given in late weeks. Philadelphia (U.R) Rollo Wilson, 66, Pittsburgh Courier sports writer, collapsed and died Sunday after leaving the game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers at Con nie Mack stadium. m'ffi ffocsewamer sem'ce ii vl 1 1 vMi . vVi v., - - i Economical Standard Heating Oils offer you a bargain package of clean, comfortable, modern heat!

Wade passed for two touchdowns and completed nine of 19 passes for 139 yards. Full back Tank Younger, and backs Tommy Wilson and Ron Waller proved the stalwarts of the Rams' ground attack. The Rams played one of their best games of the season on de fense. San Francisco was held to two field goals, both by end Gordie Soltau from 17 and 14 yards out in the first half. vq cjow FUEL CO.
