Indians are having their fun in
upsetting the big ones.

of his third place finishing issb
miaH Howie Dallmar has turn
ed out a team that so far has
derailed, at least temporarily,
the' title aspirations of two of
the loop's favored clubs Wash
ington and Oregon State.
And this week they aim to do
the same thing to the current
PCC leader California.
Defense Stressed
T.iltP hi other San Francisco
Bay Area collegiate coaching
contemporaries. Dallmar is a
disciple of defensive or ball con
trol basketball. And he has tak
en a club, with only one con
listent starter from last year,
and molded it into a spirited
team which takes the boards
away from teams which out
tower them by three to four
inches per man.
Three men have keyed Stan
ford to their upset wins over
Oregon State and Washington,
the only conference loss suffer
ed by the Huskies to date and
the first of two Oregon State
defeats.
They are senior Bill Bond
and sophomore Paul Neumann,
and to a lesser extent late-starting
Carl Isaacs.
Needle eyed Bond is the
club's top scorer and one of the
best jump shooters in the busi
ness. Neumann, rated by many
Pacific slope coaches as the best
sophomore in the PCC and a
"sure-fire" future Ail-American,
is a tiger off the boards as he
out-rebounds men inches taller
than his 6-1.
Isaacs, a notorious "late-starter",
got off even later this sea
son as he did not report until
after the first year following
play in the annual East-West
Shrine game where he was the
number one receiver for his
former Stanford grid team
mate, John Brodie.

Wrestle Lenz
Grants Pass Roy Heffernan,
the Australian champion who
made such a hit here last fall,
will meet Henry (The Great)
Lenz in the main wrestling event
this Friday night at the Jose
phine Fairgrounds arena.
Heffernan will meet a man
who is his equal in strength but
he will have quite an edge in
experience. Henry Lenz has
been improving with every
match during the past year and
he just recently wrestled sev
eral main events around Ari
zona. Alex Perez, who has turned
plenty mean since appearing
hear last spring, will return to
meet handsome Reg Parks in
the one hour prelim on this card.
Perez defeated Pierre DeGlane
last week but will probably have
rougher going against the 215
pound Parks. Perez was quite a
boxer in Texas amateur circles
before turning to wrestling.

Dallmar Favors Huskies
Coach Howie Dallmar of Stan
ford had a few words to say
about which team he thinks will
win the PCC title, and Coach
Phil Woolpert of the University
of San Francisco did a little orat-
ing about the growing breach
between the CBA and the PCC.
Dallmar said the University
of Washington stands the best
chance of winning the PCC title
but California has the beer
learn, "at least oil their 59-45
win over us two weeks ago."
Stanford, which split a pair
with Washington over the week
end, will get another chance to
test California Friday night
wnen the Indians play the Bears
at Palo Alto.
However, Dallmar's nod still
goes to the Huskies.
"Washington plays its three
tough series including a two
game series with Cal at home,
and the home court is a big ad
vantage," he explained. But he
added that Cal has a top defen
sive club which could throttle
the Huskies' giant pair of Bruno
Boin and Doug Smart.
Dallmar said that in Boin and
Smart, Washington "has the two
best big men I've ever seen on
the same team." Smart, only a
sophomore, is the hardest big
man to contain his team' has
faced this year, Dallmar added.
"And he's going to get better."
Joe Maxim,
Ed Machen
Meet Friday
New York (U.R) Joey
Maxim, former world light
heavyweight champion who
figures he may as well get into
boxing's "old-age derby," meets
young Eddie Machen of Redding,
Calif., in a 10-rounder at Miami
Beach Auditorium Friday night.
The undefeated Californian is
a 3-1 favorite.
The fight will be carried by
NBC radio-TV at 10 p.m., EST.
Maxim is the only man who
boasts a victory over Floyd Pat
terson, the new heavyweight
champion, but that bout was
fought in 1954. Maxim, who will
be 35 on March 28, has cam
paigned lightly since 1952.
82 Victories
Maxim has scored 82 victories,
fought four draws and lost 23
times in 109 fights.
Carlos Ortiz of New York is
favored at 12-5 over Chicago's
Bobby Rodgers for their 10
rounder Wednesday night at
Chicago stadium. This bout will
be broadcast and televised by
ABC.
Ortiz has won 19 straight
fights, eight by knockouts. Rod
gers has won 10 and fought two
draws in 14 appearances. He
has knocked out six opponents.
Boxer Said
Developing
New York (U.R) Angelo
Defendis, who works in a
Brooklyn fruit store between
ring appearances, is fast devel
oping into a "top banana" in
the light heavyweight division.
The hard-punching, former
Golden Gloves champion regis
tered his sixth straight victory
and his 18th triumph in 20 pro
bouts Monday night by breez
ing to a unanimous 10-round
decision over rugged Jerry
Luedee of New Haven, Conn.,
in their widely-televised fight at
St. Nicholas arena.
Luedee weighed 17134 rjounds
to Defendis' 169, but that was
the only advantage he enjoyed.
The Canadian-born battler put
up a game fight and gained a
moral victory in remaining on
his feet through the entire 10
rounds. However, he was simply
outgunned by the head-hunting
Defendis.,
Referee Petey Scalzo award
ed Defendis eight rounds and
gave Luedee two rounds, while
Judge Joe Agnello favored the
Brooklyn battler, 7-3. The
other judge, Joe Eppy, had it
much closer but still favored
Defendis 5-4-1.
KLAPSTEIN RESIGNS

Fanfare
The new stadium at the Vet
erans Administration domicili
ary. Camp White, is beginning
to "shape up, H. Jaffrey, assist
ant manager of the domiciliary,
reported recently. At the time
of his report, structural steel
was up for the S117.500 ball
park and show ground facility
Jaffrey said that 21 feet has
been added to each end in the
grandstand plans. The added
portions will boost seating of
the structure to about 700 per
sons. Materials for the structure
were bargained under a bid sys
tem which obtained lower prices
than anticipated. Bid results
permitted enlargement of the
grandstand at no additional cost.
The domiciliary is building
the stadium itself with workmen
hired locally. B. R. Sims, post
chief engineer is supervisor.
Spring use of the stadium is
eyed by the VA. It is being
erected primarily for the veter
an members at the station but
can be used by valley organiza
tions through arrangement with
the VA. No tax money is 'being
used for the project.
JERRY KALAPUS STARS
Jerry Kalapus, one of two
members of Medford high's
1955 state runner-up basket
ball crew now playing for a
college t a r s i t y, certainly
showed his value to the Pa
cific university Badgers last
Saturday nighl. The 6-5 sopho
more center piled up 31 points
and gathered 17 rebounds to
lead Pacific in its 84 to 68 tri
umph over Willamette.
Said Bob Hulen in a Port
land Oregonian story: "Kala
pus gave a fine performance.
Not only did he score the im
portant baskets which got Pa
cific rolling early in the sec
ond half, but his over-all play
acted as a spark and it ignited
Pacific to its best game of the
season."
Kalapus hit a variety of
shots, sinking 13 of 20 tries
for a .650 firing average.
Other member of the 1955
Tornado club on a college var
sity is Frank Rector, a regular
although not always a starter
at University of Portland.
Bill Caldwell. ex-Eagle
Point, is a squadmate of Kala
pus at Pacific.
FOLLOWS PREDICTIONS
Neither Grants Pass nor
Ashland can be counted out of
the race, nor can Crater be
discounted as a possible spoil
er. But the first three week
ends of play certainly point
up the preseason predictions
of Medford and Klamath Falls
as favorites in Southern Ore
gon conference basketball.
This writer hasn't seen Ash
land on the maplecourt this
season but the impression
gained from one view of
Grants Pass is that the Cave
men will have to play better
ball than they showed on that
occasion to beat Medford.
Grants Pass is kown. however,
for its numerous fired up per
formances against the Black
Tornado.
ASHLAND HERE FRIDAY
The new Ashland look will be
displayed on the Hedrick court
here this Friday when the Griz
zlies meet Medford. A deliberate
style of offense in which players
work for a sure or easy shot is
the Ashland forte this season un
der the helm of Earl Iba. The
deliberate play is similar to that
which has carried Oklahoma A
and M to national honors under
the coaching of Hank Iba. Earl
is a brother of Hank.
TORNADO POLISHES
Medford high's Tornado
hoopmen look it easy last
week when it had no games on
slate. Coach Frank Roelandt
said his squad spent its time
reviewing and polishing up
the various phases of its game
After the tough Klamath se
ries the bye was a welcome
break.
KF COSMOPOLITAN
The cosmopolitan quality of
top line high school basketball
material at Klamath Union high
has been pointed out to this de
partment. Four of the eight Peli
cans who saw duty against the
Medford Black Tornado last
week end are transfers although
three of them have been at
Klamath a year or nore. Glenn
Moore came from Bly, Cliff
Sutherland from Malin, Bob
Niles from Medford and Mike
Albo from Colorado.

Dickens Has
Indiana Post
Bloomington, Ind.-(U.R Phil
Dickens, new Indiana football
coach, became acquainted today
with a gridiron headache which
could haunt him.
Dickens, who signed a four
year pact with Hoosier officials
Monday, arrived on the Indiana
campus here to inspect gridiron
facilities and possibly meet a
few of his hopefuls for 1957.
The balding gridiron mentor
got wind of the head-swirling
task facing him when he visited
the university last month to be
interviewed about the coaching
job vacated by Bernie Crim
mins, former Notre Dame star.
Some handed Dickens a sched
ule of Indiana games for 1957,
and then in jest, placed a box
of aspirin beside it.
Indiana, last place finisher in
the Big Ten conference last sea
son, faces Michigan State, Notre
Dame, Iowa and Ohio State in
its first four games, none of
them a pushover.
But Dickens, who will receive
a $15,000 salary annually, felt
up to the gigantic task and said
it was a "fine opportunity" to
move into the Big Ten, which
he figured was "the top" in
coaching jobs.
"The Big Ten has proven it
self as the best league," he said.

Saddler To
Quit Boxing
New' York (U.R) Charley
Johnston, manager of Sandy
Saddler, announced today that
Saddler is retiring from boxing
because of an automobile acci
dent which has impaired his
sight.
Saddler has not fought since
he suffered the accident last
July and last week the National
Boxing Association stripped him
of the world featherweight title
for failing to defend the crown.
"I am retiring Sandy on the
advice of his physician because
he gradually is going blind,"
Johnston said.
The physician, Dr. Thomas
W. Matthew, said there was
some hope Saddler might retain
partial vision if he did not box
again.
Saddler is a lanky 30-year-old
who began boxing professionally
in 1944. He first won the feather
title by knocking out Willie Pep
in the fourth round Oct. 29,
1948. He lost the title to Pep
in a return bout Feb. 11, 1949
and won it back Sept. 8, 1950.

New Huskie
Grid Coach
Seattle (U.R) The Uni
versity of Washington has its
new football coach today, but
actually the school didn't change
much more than the boss-man's
name.
Jim Owens, former Texas
A&M aide, was named to the
position Monday suceeding Dar
rell Royal who left Huskyville
just before Christmas for a
similar post at the University
of Texas.
Both Owens and Royal are
split-T teachers. They played
their college football as four
year teammates at Oklahoma
Universty under Bud Wilkin
son and both were named Ail
Americans in 1949.
Royal introduced the Split-T
to the Pacific Coast conference
last season and came up with
a 5-5 record, finishing the sea
son with lopsided wins over
Stanford and Washington State.
Owens, who inherits a good
many of Royal's starters, said
at College Station, Tex., Mon
day night that he hoped to im
prove on the record but "would
be teaching the same type of
football as Royal with only a
few elaborations."
George Briggs, Washington
athletic director, announced
Owens' selection at a press con
ference on the university cam
pus Monday night. Terms of the
contract were not discussed.
Roche Wants

Eugene (U.R) Jack Roche,

Len Casanova took over the
head coaching job at Oregon.
The Arizona job has been vacant
since Abe Woodson was released
at the end of last season.
Roche said he had talked with
Arizona officials at the NCAA
coaches' meeting earlier this
month. "I'm particularly inter
ested in this job because I lived
there for quite some time during
the war," he said.
Roche said he was "perfectly
happy" at Oregon "but naturally
any coach desires to head up his
own program at some time dur

And most of them also believe
that his club-throwing tantrums
are just publicity gags to help
the gate, or possibly to publi
cize one Tommy Bolt.
Bolt penalized himself a
stroke in the final round of the
$15,000 Caliente Open on Sun
day a penalty that cost him
about $125. And it was a penalty
that many of his brethern would
have overlooked completely.
"I called'a penalty on myself
on the 15th green," said Tommy.
"I laid my putter down beside
my ball and it accidentally mov
ed the ball part of a turn. That
is counted as a stroke in my
book."
Returned Check
It was typical of Bolt to call
the penalty, says Harvey Ray
nor, PGA tournament super
visor. "Not so long ago," Raynor re
calls, "Tommy returned a check
for $280 that we thought he
had won in one of the Texas
tournaments. -
"But Tommy wouldn't take
the money. He said that some
one must have added the scores
incorrectly, because the score he
turned in would not possibly
have paid that much."
In Jackie Burke's opinion, a
lot of Bolt's club-throwing is to
amuse the public.
"Shucks," says Jackie, "the
headlines Tommy got in the
San Diego newspapers, and the
resultant publicity for the tour
nament, couldn't have been pur
chased for $5,000."
Attracts Fans
Bolt, of course, is the big gallery-getter
on the tour now.
Only Dr. Cary Middlecoff, Sam
Snead, Byron Nelson and Ben
Hogan and possibly Jimmy De
maret have outdrawn him in the
last 15 years.
But with all the attention the
galleries pay to him and the
publicity he gets- in the press,
"Temperamental Tommy" isn't
happy.
"Why doesn't the press tell
some of the good things about
me?" he asks. "Why do they
always have to put it in big
headlines when I throw a club?"
The press figures just like the
public: They would much rather
see Tommy throw a club than
penalize himself a stroke.
