Medford Places 7 Players
On 1st Team, Klamath 3,
Crater, Grants
End and kicking expert Dick
Copple and giant tackle Neil
Plumley, both of the Medford
high state semi-finalist Black
Tornado, were top selections on
the Medford-dominated 1956
Southern Oregon conference all
star football squad picked by
eoaches, sportswriters and
sportscasters lor the Mail Tribune.-
They were1 the only unanimous
choices among 35 players who
made the first or second teams
for honorable mention. Medford
gained seven spots on the 12
man' first aggregation, fourth
place Klamath Falls got three
berths, third-place Crater three
and second place Grants Pass
one.
Copple-Plumley, and hard-driving
Medford halfback Gary Ri
ley, were all repeaters from the
1955 first team. Other Tornado
performers named to the 1956
No. 1 team were tackle Larry
Cranston, guard Bob Apple; half
back Eldon Francis and quater
back Dick McLaughlin.
Rilay. Juveland Tie
Riley, unanimous pick last
year, barely, made the top com
bination this time, tying with
halfback George Juveland, Cra
ter, for the fourth backfield pos
ition. End Mike Sparlin was the
lone .Grants Pass representative
on the first team. Klamath choic
es were center Cal Tichenor,
guard Al Siegner and quarter
back and halfback Verlund
(Butch) Kimpton.
With the exception of Sparlin,
a pass-snagging end, the first
team members were two-way
players for their teams. The com
bine boasts good weight in both
the line and the backfield and
the backfield has both power
and speed with runners of
breakaway ability.
In the voting players got two
points for first team selection
and one point for a second team
vote. With -15 ballots cast Cop
ple and Plumley got 30 tallies
each. McLaughlin, ace Tornado
field general, and Sparlin were
next with 24 each. Francis got
23 and Kimpton 22.
Lasher Shaded
In the close race for backfield
spots Juveland and Riley with
21 points apiece just shaded half
back Chuck Lasher, Grants Pass.
Lasher totalled 20 to lead the
second team choices.
Grants Pass and Crater head
ed the second team polling with
four players from each school.
Medford placed three men and
Klamath one. Here again 12 men
were named. Dave Parker, and
Dick Davis, both of Crater, tied
for a tackle berth.
Both Copple and Sparlin won
first team berths by wide mar
gins. Plumley stood out above
the other tackle candidates.
Cranston beat Larry Walker,
Grants Pass, by two points for
the second first string tackle
post. Siegnor, Apple and Tiche
nor were voted in by comfort
able margins.

IOC Session
Marks Start
Of Olympics
By LEO H. PETERSEN
United Press Sports Editor
Melbourne iU.R! American
coaches confidently predicted
victory in both basketball and
swimming today as the official
program of the 1956 Olympic
games got under way with the
solemn opening of the 52nd
meeting of the International
Olympic committee.
Blaring trumpets and formal
speeches opened the IOC con
clave with 2,000 officials pres
ent in Melbourne Town Hall, al
though actual competition in the
games does not begin for three
more days.
The officials heard Avery
Brundage of the United States
call on "the politicians of the
world" to follow the "good ex
ample" of Olympic fair play and
sportsmanship so that "there
will no longer be any necessity
for wars."
Meanwhile, U. S. basketball
Coach Gerry Tucker of Bartles
ville, Okla., and swimming
Coach Bob Muir of Williams Col
lege summed up their squad s
chances in the coming cempeti
tion very optimistically.
Predicts Victory
Tucker, who scouted the high
ly touted Russian team in a
scrimmage against a local Aussie
team, said, "I still think we
should win the Olympics rather
handily."
The Phillips Oilers coach
sized the Russians up as a "fast
breaking team" that "handles
the ball well and is in amazingly
fine condition," but added that
the Soviets' seven-foot, two-inch
giant, Yajouv Kulan, "doesn't
move very well" and predicted
that Canada also may beat the
Russian team.
Coach Muir foresaw a sweep
in diving events and general U.
S. success in swimming events.
"Mrs. Pat McCormick should
retain both the high and low
board crowns in women's diving,
with Gary Tobian taking the
men's platform title and Don
Harper tops in the springboard
event," Muir said.
Basketball
By UNITED PRESS
Two week end victories over
the Rochester Royals enabled
the Boston Celtics to open a one
game lead in the Eastern Divi
sion of the National Basketball
association.
The Celtics whipped the Roy
als, 108-86, at Boston Saturday
night and then roared to a 101
87 uphill triumph Sunday night
at Rochester.
The Syracuse Nationals
snapped a five -game losing
streak by edging the Philadel
phia Warriors, 99-97, on John
Kerr's last second field goal,
while George Yardley's 22
points helped the Fort Wsyne
Pistons to a 111-107 victory over
the Minneapolis Lakeri.
PCL MEETING
San Franciscc (U.R) The Pa
cific Coast League met here to
day to consider a proposal by a
group of Vancouver, B.C., busi
nessmen to purchase the fran
chise of the Vancouver Moun
ties. The PCL directors also dis
cussed the 1957 schedule, consid
ered a proposed new park in San
Francisco, and instructed league
President Leslie O'Connor on
how to vote at the. major-minor
league meetings in Florida.

gon State will make its first ap
pearance in Pasadena's Rose
Bowl next New Year's Day, but
the Beavers need two circum
stances to make their invitation
gilt-edged.
In the first place Tommy
Prothro's team must whip tra
ditional rival Oregon Thanks
giving Day to hit the Rose Bowl
on the upswing. And in the sec
ond place Southern Cal has
to knock oyer UCLA the follow
ing Saturday to make the Bea
vers the undisputed champions
of the Pacific Coast conference.
Both things might take a bit
of doing. Oregon, coming on
fast late in the season, whipped
USC 7-0 in the mud last Satur
day and would dearly love to
deal out some of the same to its
intra-state rivals.
OSC Flat
And Oregon State proved flat
against Idaho as the Beavers
sewed up the Rose Bowl bid with
a 14-10 win over lowly but fired
up Idaho by scoring a touch
down m the final three minutes.
UCLA, ineligible for the bowl
for two reasons, could wind up
in a tie with Oregon State if the
Bruins ' whip USC's Trojans
Saturday even if the Beavers
win. However the Uclans can't go
to Pasadena because (1) they
went last year, and (2) they are
sitting out a three-year penalty
imposed for conference rule vio
lations. So the Beaver win over Idaho,
shaky as it was, insured the Bea
vers of their second Rose Bowl
bid but the first one they will
play in Pasadena. In 1941 Ore
gon State got the bid and the
game was immediately moved to
Durham, N.C.. where the Bea
vers trounced Duke 20-6.
Lucky To Win
"We were lucky to get out
alive Saturday," Prothro said, in
reference to the conflict with
Idaho. He added that he planned
to work all week in preparations
for the Oregon game and hoped
his starting ends, Bob DeGrant
and Norm Thiel, would be back
in shape for the game. Both
were injured in the 20-19 victory
over Stanford Nov. 10, the game
that virtually settled the PCC
Rose Bowl representative.
Even though Prothro said he
that is!

was looking forward only to the
Oregon game, he had some com
ments on Iowa. The Hawkeyes
took a 14-13 decision from Ore
gon State early in the season at
Iowa City after the Beavers held
a 13-0 lead after three quarters.
"Iowa was lucky to win it
after we held that 13 point lead,"
Prothro said.
But he added hastily:
"But we were lucky to hold a
13 point lead."
Oregon Bruised
Prothro didn't allow the smell
of roses to bother his plans for
the Thanksgiving day game with
Oregon. He sent his charges
f. rough a workout Sunday after
noon. Oregon, meanwhile,, counted
bumps and bruises. Three Web
foots left halfbacks, Charlie
Tourville, Jack Brown and T,e
Roy Phelps, were suffering leg
or muscle injuries. It .was Tour
ville who climaxed a 50-yard
drive by scoring from three
yards out Saturday against USC.
Fullback Jack Morris, who made
his 21st straight conversion,' also
had a minor injury.
OSC's two sophomore flashes.
Paul Lowe and Earnel Durden,
combined to give the Beavers
their Idaho win. Lowe hit Dur
den on a 51-yard pass play and
then scored the touchdown after
a field goal gave the Vandals a
10-7 lead with four minutes left.
