Bears their worst playoff defeat.
The Giants humiliated the fa

Bear fullback Rick Casares fum

But the right half may be

been used on the first team the
last four practice sessions. And
the fullback may be either John

been the regular. Nocera seems
to have the inside track right
now.

Moyer Williams Get Verdicts
In Main Events of Boxing Card
A pair of Portlanders, Denny
Mover, with a fine demonstra
tion of his boxing skill, and
Clyde Williams, coming' on a the
fight progressed, scored tri
umphs Saturday night in the
Medford Junior Chariiber of
Commerce and Police Athletic
league boxing card at Hedriek
Junior High school gymnasium.
Mover, a 147-pounder who has
I won titles galore in the north
west, dominated all the way in
gaining a unanimous decision
over Johnny Green, slugging
and improved glove tosser from
Roseburg. Williams representing
Portland PAL, was upset victor
over Larry Lewis. Medford PAL.
in a split decision bout.
Other top billed tussles saw
Eddie Kaiser, Coos Bay, take the
heavyweight semi-windup, Roy
Marshall, Roseburg, grab the
125-pound featured preliminary,
and Bob Apple, Medford PAL,
win the 160-pound special event.
There were 13 bouts in all and
crowd pleasing action in almost
everyone.
Kaiser Gets Nod
Kaiser, 190, won the narrow
est of nods over John Massey.
16-year-old comer from Knott
Street Community center, Port
land. It was a split decision.
.Massey was awarded the sports
manship trophy.
Marshall also got a split ver
dict over a Knot Streeter, Eddie
Richey.
There were few knockdowns
during the evening and no clean
knockout. Two of the bouts, how
ever, saw technical kayos and
Apple got one of those. His
match with Ben Kempke was
halted at 1:50 of the third round.
Referee Don Cain stopped it and
a towel flew in from Kempke s
corner.
Other TKO winner was
George Waggoner, 148, Knott
Street, over John Renfro, Coos
Bay. Cain called a stop at 1:58
of the second panel with Renfro
cornereed and groggy after hav
ing been once floored in the
.stanza.
Mover was the master through
out his tussle time and again
beating Green to the punch when
the Roseburg socker moved in to
try to force the fight. The stellar
Portlander landed some good
combinations and won decisive
ly, taking every round, although
Green got in a few good licks.
Decision Appro-red
Williams verdict over Lewis
brought a roar of approval from
the crowd. The Medford belter
had the edge in the opening
chukker but Williams held his
own in the second round and
clearly was master in the final
round, scoring well while Lewis'
blows didn't too often find their
mark. Referee Cain called the
tussle Lewis's. Judges Harry
Mover and Harry Lusk saw it
for the Portland bout.
Kaiser's experience paid off
over the route against the
smooth, young Massey. Referee
Cain and Judge Jack Puscas
gave the bow to the Coos Bay
slugger. Massey got Lusk!s nod.
Blood flowed rom Kempke's
nose and oozed from Apple's lip
in the 160-pound special. Apple
made up a deficit in art by pour
ing punches in windmill like
manner. He scored a knockdown
in the opening round but lacked
thegas to put an end to the fight.
Both boys lost steam in the sec
ond round but Apple, a tough
footballer, had given the Rore
burg man his fill when the ae-
I tion was ceased.

Scandals Bring Big Stpry
Of 1956 in PCC Football
This is one in a series of
articles dealing with sports in
the West during 1956.
By HAL WOOD
United Press Sports Writer
Scandals rocked the Pacific
Coast Conference football set-up
during 1956 and for a while it
appeared that the PCC members
might legislate themselves rlghf
out of existence.
It all started when Washington
confessed to a so-called "slush
fund," and the PCC right away
banned the Huskies from the
Rose Bowl for two years, took
Washington's share of the bowl
receipts, about S52.000, and
banned the school from compet
ing in NCAA sponsored events
such as basketball, baseball and
track and field national events.
But that was only the begin
ning. A fellow named George
Stephenson confessed to Ed
Schonfeld of the Oakland Trib
une that UCLA had paid him
S40 above the limit of S75 per
month to play football there.
That opened up a whole new
story. Schools Fined
UCLA and Southern Cali
fornia, after thorough investiga
tions, were slapped down and
placed under bans. UCLA was
knocked out of the Rose Bowl
for three years; USC for two. The
Bruin fines totalled about S91,
000. Players from both schools
who had been found guilty of
taking "under table" payments,
lost some of their eligibility.
Southern California was fined
the equivalent of S63.400; Cali
fornia was fined S25.000, but
was not banned from the bowl.
But when the smoke cleared
away, it was found lhat Oregon
State had the best football team
in the conference. The Beavers
won the conference champion
ship, losing only to Southern
California and tieing with Ore
gon. USC. ineligible for the
bowl, anyway, uiider the "rco-re-peat
rule, finished second with
losse's to Stanford and Oregon.
Actually the year had started
Jan. 1 when Dave Kaiser's last,
second field goal gave Ohio State
a victory over Southern Cali
fornia in the Rose Bowl.
