Olympic
-Ramblings
By BILL BOWERMAN
U of O Track Coach
Between Sydney and Mel
bourne on Track and Field News
Olympic tour, Nov. 21 Having
once traveled from the Hima
layas to the Cascades by plane,
with only gas stops, I was aware
of what I was getting into . . .
I'm more fatigued than I thought
to be.
Our "tour" arrived at Sydney
last night and instead of going to
bed, went to eat. By the time
hotels were assigned, it was 3
a.m. So today. Old Bill ducked
out on the tour and caught an
early flight to Melbourne, in
tending to be alert for the games.
If you ever have an oppor
tunity to watch a native Kava
ceremony on Fiji, take it in. I
recommend being an observer,
not a participant. Darn near
made the participant team and
was saved only by some quick
thinking and good footwork. We
had four hours at Nandi on Fiji.
About five carloads of us went
to a native village for the cere
mony. Sat on Mats
The village was a nice grass
clearing with thatched huts, a
central meeting hut and a rustic
Methodist church. The natives
were dressed in grass skirts,
palm or pineapple arm and leg
bands and enough hair on their
heads to stuff a sofa.
The bulk of our party sat on
mats on one side of the clearing
with our tour director. Jack
Dozier, and the queen on a small
mat before us. Across the clear
ing about 20 natives sat in a
semicircle by a huge, beautiful
wooden bowl. A rope with much
ornamentation came from the
bowl almost to the queen. One
handsome native was obviously
the ceremonialist, witch doctor,
or maker of the brew.
When all was quiet, a decorat
ed native came out with a big
jug and poured the milky Kava
juice in the bowl. Then much
ughing and hand clapping. Then
another bearer brought a hemp
mop which the brew master
swished and scrubbed in the
bowl, wrung it out by hand, then
passed it to all the others for
wringing then - back to No. 1.
This happened three or four
times and the party was ready.
The first cocanut shell went to
the queen, bowing, grunting and
hand clapping. Next, Old Jack
(Dozier) paid the price of being
in front. Then another native
and another American, etc. I
thought, "Good thing we had all
of those shots.
As an official photographer I
went to another clearing for pic
tures of frangi pangi.
VISITED DELLINGER
Melbourne, Nov. 24 I assume
the opening ceremony of the
Olympics was more than ade
quately covered by direct wire.
That should be left to the ex
perts. It was tremendously color
ful. Before the ceremony, I hied
the 15 miles to Olympic Village
to see our team.
Bill Dellinger looked real
good. He had just finished a
workout. Contrary to what the
reporters said about his being
beaten by 30 yards by Pirie, he
was five yards from Pirie, and
had gotten there from 70 yards
back in the last lap. Bill has
much more confidence, now.
Calm Confidencs
' The American team has a sort
of calm confidence that was in
spiring to see Being around
them, one could sort of feel the
"electricity" flowing. They were
ready and I anticipate tremen
dous performance.
The three largest teams (num
bers) are USSR. USA , and Aus
tralia. At the ceremony the Rus
sians were half a head shorter
than the tall Australians and
Americans. And it was quite
obvious. Husky, the Rusky, but
short.
People .department Night
Detore fast, I had a Chinese din
ner with Rube Ross and Don
Smith families. Good visit. Met
our own Jim Crakes, who helped
coach Oregon track last year.
Jim came by boat and was one
of ftie last .ones through Suez.
Crakes, Bill Johnson and I had
lunch outside the stadium.
We people in private homes
are "fortunate. The people who
got off the luxurious Mariposa
moved into "flee bags." That will
teach them that "all in this life
is ngt pleasure."
Funeral Slated
For Alex Mayo
Clifton, N.J. U.R) Funeral
services will be held Wednesday
for Alexander "Mayo, father of
former .major league baseball
player Eddie Mayo.
The elder Mayo died of a
heart attack at his home here
Monday at the age of 81. His
son, now a member of the Clif
ton Board of Education, played
with the New York Giants and
Detroit Tigers during the 1930s
and 1940s.
Johnston Is
Still Top
Hoop Scorer
New York XU.PJ Bob Pet
tit of the St. Louis Hawks, the
defending scoring champion in
the National Basketball Associa
tion, has started to close in on
Philadelphia's Neil Johnston in
the current race.
Johnston remained in the first
place during the past week, scor
ing 83 points in four games for
a total of 336. However, Pettit
vaulted from fourth to second
place by tallying 108 points in
four games and now trails John
stown by only nine points.
Paul Arizin of Philadelphia
took over third place with 315
points, including games played
last Sunday, While Clyde Lov
ellette of Minneapolis slipped
from second to fourth with 285.
Pettit remained the scoring
average leader with a mark of
25.2 points per game compared
to Johnston's 24.0 average.
Randy Turpin
'King' Again
Leicester, Eng. (U.R) Randy
Turpin, former world middle
weight champion, was a "king"
again today.
Turpin, who defeated Ray
Sugar Robinson for the middle
weight title in a startling upset
in 1951, showed some of his for
mer prowess in battering his way
to the British light heavyweight
championship Monday night over
Alex Buxton.
Turpin knocked Buxton to the
canvas five times in the fifth
round before the referee stepped
in to call a halt to their sched
uled 15-round bout at Grandy
New York (U.R) Snowden
Carter of the Baltimore Sun has
won the Thoroughbred Racing
association's 1956 award for the

at the barn of Kentucky Derby
winner Needles.

Straight out of
SOC, Alumni Quintets
Have Clash
Ashland Coach Ted Schopf s
Southern Oregon college hoop
sters tip off the 1956-57 basket
ball season here tonight against
the strong Red Raider Alumni
group.
The Red and Black Raiders
of the Rogue have been ' work
ing out two weeks now and are
eager to face the Alumni crew.
Coach Schopf has limited his
varsity roster to twenty play
ers and a further cut is expect
ed after the Alumni hassle.
Bruce Penny, 6-5 freshman
from Pasco, Wash., will be
SOC's key offensive weapon.
Schopf's tactics require a tall
man to operate in the center
slot, and Penny will have to be
the answer if the Raiders are to
have a successful season. Work
ing with Penny up front will be
Don Reese, a 6-2 junior from
Grants Pass and Norman Oliva,
a 6-3 freshman from Malin.
Reese is a transfer from Gon
zaga university where he let
tered and Oliva was a "B" school
all-stater for two years. '
Rounding out the probable
starting quintet are Don Jacob
son, 5-11 guard from Grafits
Pass, and Dale Bates, three year
letterman from Creswel, also
5-11. Bates would be the only
SOC letterman to start for the
rebuilding Red Raiders.
Should Schopf have to rely
on his bench to find a scoring
punch, there are a number of
players that could answer the
call. At forwards there are
Johnny Foust, Medford; Steve
Ganong, Gold Beach, and Jay
Reese and Charles Weller,
Grants Pass. Backing up Penny
at center are Dave D'Olivo of
Klamath Falls and three year
letterman Don Lowrance of
Junction City.
Fighting for the guard posi
tion are seven other candidates,
Al Christensen from Bend's
Central Oregon Community col
lege; Jim McAbee, Talent; Ray
Johnson, Malin; Bob Nopp, Sa
lem; Ron Owings. Klamath Falls;
and lettermen Chuck Crandall,
Coos Bay, and Ted Tenney, Ash
land. Greeting Coach Schopf early
last week were, 35 former hoop

will be ineligible until winter
term because of scholastic diffi
culties. Hollingsworth last sea
son led the Red Raiders in scor
ing and shot a phenomenal 525
percentage from the floor and
was named to the second all
conference team as a forward.
Maurer Helping
Schopf will have Ron Maurer
working with him as the assist
ant coach this year, replacing
Bob Smith who coached the JVs
a year ago. The Red Raiders
finished 3rd in the OCC and had
a season record of 13 wins and
13 defeats. The SOC junior var
sity team won 17 and lost 1.
However, many of those jayvee
stars aren't on hand this season
to help out.
Schopf, former coach of the
University of Oregon Frosh and
JVs as well as teams at the Great
Lakes Naval Training center
during the war, is starting his
10th season here. He directed
prep teams at Chiloquin high
in Klamath county, later mov
ing to the head coaching duties
at Washington high in Portland.
His teams have had only one
losing season here.
In addition to his coaching
duties. Coach Schopf teaches col
lege classes in physical education
and health education. He is very
active in community organiza
tions and has an active interest
in all sporting events within the
Southern Oregon area, devoting
part of his time to high school
officiating.
Last year the Red Raiders had
a good scrappy team and played
good basketball against top
flight opponents. This year coach
Schopf has stated that the Raid
ers will be doing right well for
themselves if they can match
last years 13-13 record. SOC un
doubtedly will field about the
greenest team in the OCC, and
SOC will have its hands full
trying to stay out of the cel
lar. "Our players are Inexper
ienced and very short on height.
Unless we can have a tall man
to operate our post position this
fall, our Red Raiders are going
to be hurting," he said
After January 1, the Red Raid
ers will play all of their home

BIG MERCURY for
Tuesday, November 27, 1958
Salmon Group Seek Legislation
To Cut Sports Fishermen's Take
From Runs of Species in Ocean
Coos Bay (U.R) The Oregon
Salmon congress held .its first
convention here Sunday and
took steps aimed at curbing the
take of some sports fishermen
from the ocean salmon runs.
The congress passed resolu
tions urging legislation that
would halt the practice of some
sports fishermen of buying a
commercial license to circum
vent the two-fish sport landing
law.
One resolution passed by the
group called for an increase in
the license fees for commercial
boats and individual fishing li
censes. The resolution urged' fees be
raised to $25 for both licenses.
Present boat licenses are $15 and
personal licenses are $15 and
personal licenses $7.50. Propon
ents of the resolution argued
that the increased rates would
discourage sports fishermen from
buying the commercial licenses.
Other recommendations of the
conference games In the Ash
land High school court, as the
SOC gym is under repairs, and
a new field house is being built
to be ready for operation in the
.fall of 1957.
Lined up for the Red Raiders
in non-conference tilts are Lin
field, Chico State and Humboldt
State. SOC will have a score to
settle with each one of these op
ponents, as they were on the
football schedule and treated the
Red and Black rather roughly
this fall. Eastern Oregon, Ore
gon college, Oregon Tech and
Portland State are the confer
ence opponents for the Raiders.
