The Medford high Black Tor
nado, defending champion and
leader in the Southern Oregon
conference basketball campaign
'after the first week end of play,
focused today on the rival which
may be its toughest challenger
Tver a 16-game circuit slate.
Medford trimmed the Crater
Comets 63 to 45 here Saturday
fvening to sweep its series with
the Central Pointers and keep
Its record clear. The Tornado
had won on Friday 62 to 39.
In other conference action

43 to 41 on Saturday after los
ing to the Grizzlies 33 to 30
on Friday night.

Tighter Chase
The race this season looms as
tighter than during the past two
years but Klamath Falls and
Medford, the District 6 A-l state
tourney entries of 1956 are
favorites again for the trip to
Eugene.
Medford's triumph over Crater
on Saturday had some similari
ties to the Friday game. The
fracas again was rough. Crater
took the lead In the opening
moments. Score was kndtted
three times. Then Medford took
a 7 to 5 edge in the first quar
.ter and was not headed after
lhat. The Comets, however suc
ceeded in making a tougher and
closer game of it.
Backboard control, paced by
;big Neil Plumley, more accurate
field goaling sparked by Tom
Hamlin, Dick McLaughlin and
Dick Copple and rugged defen
sive work paid off for the Tor
nado crew. Crater was held two
three long range field goals in
the first half and kept in the
battle with shots from the gift
line.
Deficit Cut
; The Tornado built up a 19
point margin by late in the third
quarter but Crater fought back
to cut the deficit down to eight
points. Medford took back con
trol and pulled away from there.

he second half, Medford gain
ed a 49 to 30 margin with 49

his fifth and banishing foul. Al
len swished a 35-foot pusher at
tha buzzer for a third intermis
sion standing of 51 to 36.
A minute and a half into the
fourth panel Green put in a re
bounder. Goyette followed in 45
seconds with a shot from the
circle and with 3 is minutes
played in the quarter Juveland
hit a side pusher for Crater and
was fouled by Puhl. The Comet

Minnesota
Tips 1 1 1 in i
n Big Ten
By UNITED PRESS
Illinois, the nation's only high
ranked basketball team to stum
ble at the start in the race for
conference championships, will
be battling to regain its footing
tonight when it tangles with
Iowa's defending Big Ten cham
pions. The Illini, who were upset, 91
88. by Minnesota on Saturday
night on a brilliant performance
by Jed Dommeyer, thus fell out
of step with such cage powers as
Kansas, Kentucky, and UCLA.
Illinois, ranked sixth in the
nation by the United Press
Board of Coaches, held sharp-
shooting Dommeyer scoreless in
the first half of Saturday s game
and held a 47-43 halftime lead.
But Dormmeyer broke loose with
20 points in the'second half, off
setting 28 by George Bonsalle
of Illinois and clinching the
game.
With an 0-1 mark in Big Ten
play as a result of this loss, Illi
nois will be favored to even its
mark tonight when it plays host
to Iowa (4-4), since the Hawkeyus
aren't up to their form of last
vpar.
Wilt Has Bad N' ,ht
Kansas, the nation's No. 1
team, opened its quest for the
Big Seven championship with a
92-79 victory over Missouri de
spite what rivals would call a
"bad night" by Wilt (The Stilt)
Chamberlain. The 7-foot soph
missed 12 of 17 shots and wound
up with "only" 23 points for the
night plus 22 rebounds but it
was more than enough to help
Kansas boost its overall season
record to 10-0.
Third-ranked Kentucky, which
missed winning the Southeastern
Conference title last season for
the second time in 13 years,
opened its new drive with a 95
72 victory over Georgia Tech for
a 9-2 overall record, and seventh-ranked
UCLA squeaked to
a 69-68 victory over Idaho.
Among the other members of the
"Big Five," second-ranked North
Carolina was idle and fifth
ranked Louisville, an indepen
dent, romped to an 86-67 victory
over DePaul as Bill Darragh led
the way with 26 points.
Seattle Tips
Pilot Quint
Portland (U.R) Seattle Uni
versity, spurred by 41 points
from crafty Elgin Baylor, over
came an 11-point halftime deficit
here yesterday afternoon to gain
a tie with the University of
Portland, then reeled off ' 12
points in an overtime period to
win going away at 87-81.
Seattle won Saturday night
81-68 with Baylor getting 33
points.
Baylor, the 6-6 pivot man for
the Chieftains, canned 17 field
goals, hitting at nearly a .500
clip to lead the assault on the
Pilot lead yesterday. . '
But in the all-important over
time period it was Jim Harney
who came through with six
points when the Chieftains need
ed them most.
Margin Melts
Portland's halftime margin of
45-34 melted away midway
through the second stanza. With
10:41 still on the clock. Seattle
had moved into a 61-61 knot
with the Pilots.
From there it was nip and tuck
until the final 75-75 tie with 2:40
still remaining in the game. Both
clubs missed scoring opportuni
ties in the last frantic minutes to
move the game into overtime.
Dick Stricklin bagged 14 out
of 18 free throw opportunities
and added four two pointers to
follow Baylor in the Chieftain
scoring column with 22. High
for Portland was Dick Jolley
with 24.

weighty problems as football re

The job-hunting promised to

and next fall's football television

end with the Beavers staving
home for a pair of weekend
games with USC while Oregon
meets California in a brace of
games in Berkeley.
Oregon is still untested in
conference play, drawing a bye
the opening week. Oregon
State came out of its initial round
of counting play with a 1-1 rec
ord. Oregon State's Saturday night
loss to Stanford by a 60-58 count
was a near repeat of Friday
night's opening game when the
Beavers eked out a 64-63 win.
Stanford trailed the Beavers
by three points at the half but
stormed into a nine point bulge
with only six minutes of the last
chapter gone.
With a minute and a half left
in the game, Paul Neumann, high
point man for the Indians, hit
from the corner to break a 58-58
tie and that was the end of the
night's scoring.
Dave Gambee and Neumann

Hopes of New York Giants
Doomed by Jack Robinson
By JOHN GRIFFIN
United Press Sports Writer
New York (U.R) The New
York Giants' last-ditch efforts to
prevent Jackie Robinson's re
tirement from baseball were
doomed today by Jackie's state
ment he wouldn't play again
"for a million dollars" and his
anger at the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Robinson disclosed during the
week end he is quitting his his
toric career in baseball for even
more lucrative work with a res
taurant chain and a national
magazine.
"I can't imagine any condi
tions under which I would
change my mind," Robinson in
sisted. "That goes especially aft
er what I read Vice President
Buzzy Bavasi of the Dodgers
said about me the other day."
The 36-year-old Robinson, first
Negro in organized baseball, was
brimming over with anger at
Bavasi even as rie announced his
departure from the diamond. Ba
vasi was quoted as saying Rob
inson treated the press unfairly,
in concealing his retirement
plans from Dec. 12 until last
Saturday, when they were an
nounced through a magazine.
(Look). Bavasi added, "You fel
lows (newspapermen) will find
you've been tooting the horn for
the wrong fellow."
"I thought Bavasi was a better
friend of mine than to say that,"
said Robinson in sngry tones.
"Oh well, it's not the first time
he popped off without know
ing what he was talking about."
Before Bavasi's remarks were
made known, Robinson had been
quoted as saying he might re
turn to baseball if the president
of his new company, the restaur
ant chain, so desired. But now
Jackie insists, "I'm through play
ing ball, period."
Robinson admitted he "had to
mislead" reporters about h i s
plans when his trade from the
Dodgers to the Giants was an
nounced on Dec. 13. He couldn't
say anything, even though he
had already signed with the
restaurant chain on Dec. 12, be
cause he was bound by contract
with the magazine to save the
announcement of his retirement
for them.
"When I was told by Bavasi
of the trade," Jackie explained,
"I phoned vice president Chub
Feeney of the Giants and urged
the announcement be held up. I

prize are the pre-tournament
favorite. Dr. Cary Middlecoff,
Dallas, Tex.; Jackie Burke Jr.,

ters and PGA champion; and
Fred Hawkins, the tall Texan
from El Paso. They each had 212

But such men as defending
champion Lloyd Mangrum 218;

Ed Furgol 218; Gene Littler 215;
Mike Souchak 215 and Bobby
Rosburg 219, appeared to be out
of contention for the top money.
ing up next week end with
UCLA a slight choice to go all
the way in the PCC.
USF notched one easy victory
and appeared a solid bet to an
nex the CBA crown again.
UCLA scored its 28th and 29th
consecutive PCC victories, but
the Bruins did it by the narrow
est of margins. Friday night
UCLA beat underrated Idaho 64-
63 in double overtime and Satur
day scored an equally thin 69
68 win over the same club.
Washington Victor
Washington hung two defeats
on Southern California 76-72
and 80-78 while California had
the easiest job of the three, tak
ing Washington State into camp
66-59 and66-51.
The only other PCC action saw
Stanford and Oregon State split
a pair of thrillers. The Beavers
got the Friday tilt 64-63 when
Jerry Crimmins hit from 20 feet
out with 20 seconds to go. Then
sophomore Paul Neumann did
likewise for the Indians Satur
day night for a 60-58 Stanford
victory.
USF flashed some of its old
time form in the CBA opener
after the Dons had lost four out
of their last five non-conference
titles. The defending national
champions beat a good San Jose
State team 66-51 Friday night.
Saturday night, USF sat it out
while College of Pacific trounced
Loyola 84-67 and San Jose State
defeated Pepperdine 80-54,
Stanford plays at California
Tuesday night and then the
week end of Friday Saturday
games finds USC at Oregon
State, Washington State at
UCLA, Oregon at California and
Idaho at Washington
said I would have my plans
ready by Jan. 10. But the Giants
said they couldn't hold up the
announcement because the news
might leak out."
The deal, 'which thus was
doomed even before it was an
nounced publicly, is cancelled by
Robinson's retirement or will
be when Jackie goes through
the formality of officially ap
plying for voluntary retirement
from baseball. The Giants will
get back the $30,000 cash, plus
southpaw pitcher Dick Little
field, they gave the Dodgers.
Giant owner Horace Stone
ham said in Phoenix, Ariz., Sun
day he will spare no expense to
get Robinson to play, but Jack
ie's attitude left no hope for
Stoneham.

Collegians
In Hula Tiff
Honolulu (U.R) The pro-pow
ered Hawaii All-Stars proved
one thing Sunday in their 52-21
clobbering of the College All-
Stars in the Hula Bowl: A sure
way to victory is to play an out
classed team.
It was that kind of ball game.
Norm Van Brocklin, the "Fly
ing Dutchman" of the Los Ange
les Rams, had a field day as he
led his mates in a display of
power that had the collegians
rocky in the first half and reel
ing in the second.
Van Brocklin passed for five
touchdowns and kicked four con
versions all drop kicks.
Brcdie Injured
John Brodie, the Stanford
passing whiz, was slated to lead
the amateurs' attack from the
quarterback slot. But he was
racked up in the second quarter
and Notre Dame's Paul Hornung
was moved over from the full
back position to fill the gap.
The Collegians finally got on
the scoreboard when Hornung
started passing. A toss to Pitt's
All-America end Joe Walton
netted 34 yords in the second
period and the College All-Stars
only first half touchdown. The
halfway edge was 18-7.
Hornung was voted the out
standing back and Bob Toneff of
the Forty Niners was named the
outstanding lineman.

From Pro Bowl
Western Squad

nam, Los Angeles Ram lineman,
said today he may ask the newly
formed players, committee Jo
take action against Pro Bowl of
ficials for dropping him from
the seventh annual grid classic
in Los Angeles Jan. 13.
Although accepting football
commisioner Bert Bell's decision
to remove him from the lineup,
Putnam made it clear he was not
happy about the action.
Heck Replaces
3ell announced in Los .Ange
les Sunday that Putnam was-be-ing
replaced by offensive guard
John Hock of the Rams. Offi
cials said Putnam was dropped
because he failed to return from
Honolulu, where he played in
the Hula Bowl, in time for prac
tice with the Pro Bowl's West
squad.
Putnam said at least four oth
er players had played in both
the Hula Bowl and the Pro
Bowl, but "I'm the first one pen
alized for it." The others, he
said, were Elroy Hirsch, Lou
Groza, Otto Graham and Doak
Walker. j
"Nothing was done to them,"
he said.

Arizin Scores 37
But Philadelphia
Loses to Nats
By UNITED PRESS
Paul Arizin, one of the Na
tional Basketball association's
most proficient scorers, keeps
right on rolling along, but his
Philadelphia Warriors team
mates can't seem to pick up the
cue this season.
Arizin, who led the loop in
field goals last season, is popping
'em in in accustomed style again
this season. The 6-4 veteran can
ned 37 points Sunday night, but
the Warriors, who rode to the
loop championship last year,
took it on the chin again, drop
ping a 128-123 decision to the
streaking Syracuse Nationals.
The loss dropped Philadelphia
four full games in back of the
Eastern division pace-setting Bos
ton Celtics, who defeated tha
Fort Wayne Pistons, 118-92. The
New York Knickerbockers de
feated the Minneapolis Lakers,
111-101, and the Rochester
Royals downed the St. Louis
Hawks, 93-86 in other games.
