It was erstwhile Earnel who rack ed up 46 yards of the 59 yard drive. And when the Arroyo Sec chip were down in the final period, it was eager Earnel who went 59 yards down the sideline after taking a wobbly swing pass from Paul Lowe to set up OSC's second score.

PETERSEN United Press Suorts Editor lyielbourne (U.R) A subtle war of nerves was underway among the track and field com petitors for the Olympic games today with Charley Dumas, the seven-foot high jumper from Los Angeles, as the main target. This became apparent when the word seeped around that the shy, retiring Dumas had been upset by the great amount of publicity attendant upon his ar rival. Jini Kelly, the United States track coach, had to hold Dumas incommunicado for a while, re fusing to permit him to be inter viewed or photographed. Then, just as he was emerging from his shell, Australian high jump er "Chilla" Porter criticized Dumas'- training program by saying that he "just doesn't jump enough." "All this trouble between the Hungarians and - Russians has taken some of the heat off us," Kelly said. "But there's a lot of needling going on." Victim of Sniping Kelly himself has been the vic tim of frequent sniping for al legedly, bringing the team along too slowly. Even before leaving the states he Was attacked by an American coach, Dink Templeton, who pre dicted utter failure for the U. S. forces, and this week Australian Coach Franz Stampfl charged that the Americans got here too late. . "Let 'em all talk," Kelly grinned. "We're fine, mentally and physically, and we'll do no whining. Nor will we have any alibis.' There's been a lqt of pointed kicking over the weath er. Well, it's the same for every body." The United States team will compete in an invitational type track meet at Geelong, 45 miles from Melbourne, Wednesday night and in another at Bendigo, 100- miles away, on Saturday. fcsHl tifoe wfM 0 ym lmw great $08 AfT.

Expresses Concern Kelly expressed concern over the U. S. chances in the high and broad jumps long consid ered an American "lock" and said that now he was more hope ful for United States upsets in the hammer throw and discus. Another American coach, Bob Hoffman of the weightlifting team, was in a more explosive mood than Kelly and announced he fears TT. S. competitors in his sport might get a "raw deal" from judges. "We're not certain what to ex pect," said Hoffman. "But the board of appeal is Russian-dominated, and if there is a rigged jury, we are beaten before we start." Hoffman said he expects "the worst" and added, "if we get a raw deal, this will be the last time we'll ever put a team in the games." Morris Lost To LA Rams Los Angeles (U.R) Line backer Larry Morris of the Los Angeles Rams will be lost to the club for at least three weeks as the result of a knee injury suffered in Sunday's game with San Francisco, it was disclosed today.

Bastien, Francis Rematch Billed At Grants Pass Red Bastien, the ultra popular little matman from Minneapolis, felt that he should have another chance to meet Ed Francis after the match last week and he will get that opportunity Wednesday night at the Grants Pass fair grounds arena. Red held his larger and more experienced opponent on even ground and at .the end thought that he had Francis pinned but he did not realize that the ref eree was counting his own shoul ders down. Bastien admitted aft erwards that he had forgotten about his own shoulders in his effort to hold big Ed's shoulders on the mat. Several of the fans protested that Francis's shoulders were down too, but referee Elton Owen stuck by his decision. Big Drawing Card When Francis won the first fall on Bastien he pulled him up twice on the count of two after applying backbreakers and was warned by the referee that he would be disqualified if he did Hot pin him. Francis is the biggest drawing card in the northwest and holds the Pacific northwest heavy weight belt which he won from Bulldog Bud Curtis in Salem. Bastien would like to challenge him for that belt but he will need a decisive win this week to get his chance. Roy Heffernan and Bull Mon tana are also hot for a match against Francis. Red's pet hold is the corkscrew toe hold while Francis uses the dreaded suplex. Lee Wong, the sensational and clean Chinese wrestler who made a big hit last week in de feating Bill Fletcher, will meet Monte Marion from Detroit in the opening one hour match.
