edford,
Clash Here on Friday Night
"They're a bunch of kids that
Teally like to go."
-' Coach Earl Iba had that to
: My concerning his Ashland high
s Grizzly basketeers as he dis
cussed his club's preparations
for its Medford series this week
" in the Southern Oregon confer
ence. Ashland meets Medford in
the Hedrick gym here on Friday
night and entertains the Black
Tornado at Ashland on Saturday
evening. Varsity games are bill
ed for 8:15 p.m. following 6:30
p.m. junior varsity prelim
inaries. Iba indicated that he will open
the Friday ruckus with his usual
starting five of Mel Dailey, Jack
Eberhart, Jack Tobiasson, Mark
Fitch and Albert Hartwell. But
he brought out that he will have
more reserve strength this week
than at anytime since his squad
made its California trip before
Christmas.
There have been eligibilities
among reserves. All Grizzly var
sity players, however, are ex
pected to be on hand Friday
nd Saturday.
On Regular Patterns
Ashland is just working on
its regular plays, its set of for
mations and patterns in getting
ready for Medford, Iba reported.
He said also that the Grizzlie3
are trying to recover from their
pair of setbacks at the hands of
Klamath Falls last week end.
Iba remarked that the Griz
rlies "are trying to wish into
some height." The Ashlanders
play a deliberate ball control
style, setting up sure shots, but
a lot depends on getting the
ball off the backboards so -that
they can control it. Lithia city
players were successful with
their game last Friday to the
extent that they outshot the
Pelicans from the field. But they
lost on free shots. On Saturday
Ashland was the victim as Klam
ath made its superior height pay
eff in the Pels' best perform
ance of the season.
Medford with Neil Plumley
at 6-5. Dick McLaughlin and
Dick Copple at 6-2 and Tom
Hamlin at 6 even, will have an
edge in height, over Ashland
although not so much as Klam
ath had. Tobiasson at 6-2M: and
Eberhart at 6-1 are the Grizzlies
big men.

Golf Starts
Palm Springs. Calif. (U.P.)
The battle to establish an out
standing golfer for 1957 resumed
today as the S15.000 Thunder
hirrt Tnvitational tournament Eot
under way with the top 30 j
money winners of 1956 com
peting. In three tournaments held pri
or to the start of this one in
1957 the results have been like
this: Los Angeles Open Doug
Ford; Bing Crosby event at Peb
ble Beach Jay Hebert; Caliente
Open Ed Furgol.
Those names have been around
in the professional golfing circles
for nearly a decade or more in
the case of Furgol and they rate
as stand-outs.
Middlecoff In Light
But there won't be a favorite
in this lot unless it is Dr. Cary
Middlecoff, the National Open
champion. Middlecoff competed
in both the Los Angeles and Bing
Crosby events. He pleaded illness
at Pebble Beach, but shot good
golf.
Middlecoff and Jackie Burke,
the National PGA and Masters
champion, will be holding the
spotlight. But the top money
winners also include Dow Fin
sterwald who won more money
than either man in 1956; Fred
Hawkins; Dick Mayer, Billy Cas

Gene Littler George Bayer, Dave
Douglas, Frank Stranahan, Lloyd

HOCKEY
NATIONAL LEAGUE
By United Presi
The New York Rangers are
finding things a lot tougher in
the National Hockey league this
season, but without Andy Bath
gate they wouldn't even be bat
tling for a playoff post.
The handsome center-right
wing from Winnipeg came
through again for the Bangers
Wednesday night, scoring two
goals and assisting on another
to help New York gain a 4-4
tie with the Toronto Maple
Leafs in the only league action.
It was one of those "must"
games for the Rangers, who
could have slipped seven points
back of the Maple Leafs in their
battle for the fourth playoff
berth. The deadlock left them
within five points of Toronto.
AMERICAN LEAGUE
The Providence Reds snapped
their losing streak just in time
to retain first place in the Ameri
can Hockey league.
The Reds, who were winless
in their previous six starts, tore
into the second-place Hershey
Bears Wednesday night for a
5-2 victory and a three-point
margin in the standings. This
v.-as the only game of the evening.
MAIL TRIBUNE
Ashland Quintets
Roelandt has said that he may
pick his starters from among
the usual six, Plumley, Copple,
McLaughlin, Larry Perkins,
Dick Puhl and Hamlin. Since
he gives the club more scoring
punch and board strength, Ham
lin may get the call as a guard.
Rf bound control is important in
any game but takes on some
added meaning with Ashland
playing its deliberate way, hold
ing the ball until it gets a good
scoring chance.
Roelandt reported that Larry
Perkins, who was hobbled by
a strained foot tendon, laid off
practice last week except for

ship will also find Butte Falls
trying to make up for two set
backs in non-conference play.
Prospect and Butte Falls hoop

pect in a skirmish matching the
only two clubs yet unmarred in
the loop. However, in non-league
rivalry Prospect has bounced the
Loggers twice, 43 to 39 and 62
to 53.
The two leaders each have
loop wins over the other four
members of the league. Pros
pect has won by one point over
Talent, by four over St. Mary's,
by a fairly close score over
Rogue River and by a lopsided
count over Jacksonville. Butte

St. Mary's by two.

Van Brocklin
In Business Now
For Part-Time
Portland (U.R) Norm Van
Brocklin, veteran quarterback
for the Los Angeles Rams, has
become a part time businessman
here but says he definitely feels
he has "a couple of good seasons
left" for professional football.
The former Oregon star will
head a regional office here for
the distribution of Plicoflex, a
pipeline coating material.
Van Brocklin said he had
talked to Coach Sid Gillman
about his future with the Rams
and been assured there was a
place for him on the team.
Kiner Thinks of Possibilities
Of Competing for
By HAL WOOD
Palm Springs, Calif. :u.R)
"The easiest thing in the world
in my opinion," says Ralph Kin
er, the one-time home run king
of the National League, "would
be to play baseball on a winning
team."
Kiner, who hit 54 home runs
one year while playing with
the Pittsburgh Pirates, never
had much of an opportunity
while he was in the majors to
enjoy the distinction of playing
with a winner.
"Once with the Pirates we
got as high as fourth place." he
recalls, "and then the year I was
with the Cleveland Indians we
finished in second."
Kiner won't offer a guess on
what he might have done in the
way of home runs if he had been
with a championship club.
"But you can look at it this
way," he says. "I would have
been to bat a few more times,
because a winning club gets
more runs. And just by the law
of averages it seems to me I
might have hit more homers
each year."
Neared Mark
If he had hit at least seven
more the season he hit those 54
he would have smashed the late
Babe Ruth's record, of course.
But he has no regrets.
"How can I?" he asks. "Base

Phoenix has another loop
fray this week, entertaining
Glendale on Saturday.
Usual Five
Eagle players this week have
been piepping their offense to
meet both a ballhawking zone
defense and possible full court
press from Phoenix. Thompson
said he'll likely call on his usual
five to start, Wayne Christian,
Jack Greb, Gary Foran, Ron
Veach and Dennis Boren.
Phoenix mentor Jack Wood
ward has been tuning his crew
to meet an Eagle zone defense
and Glendale half court press.
Effort has been made also to
improve Pirate shooting ac
curacy. Woodward said that Gary
Simmonds likely won't be in the
opening line-up. He's had a cold
and was laid off from practice
starting Tuesday. Simmonds
could see some action both
nights. Starters may be Don

year and into a Cotton Bowl
berth where it lost to Texas
Christian, 28-27.
Winning Team
"I took a big pay cut when I
left Cleveland to come to San
Diego as general manager of the
Padres in the Pacific Coast
league. Let's say about $30,000
a year reduction.
"But I know hundreds of fel

days were over, had to start life
all over again selling cars, ped

He owns a beautiful home
here at the Thunderbird Ranch
Country club where he has a
private tennis court for his
beautiful wife, former net star
Nancy Chaffee. That's only 125
miles from San Diego, where
the couple now reside.
Kiners big problem now is
pushing the construction of a
new baseball rjark for the
Padres.
"We had hoped to have the
park completed to start the 1957
season," he says. "But the city
decided we should build a six
lane highway from the main
highway to our stadium. That
would have cost us an extra
$250,000 so we've hit a slight
snag. Probably won't get the
place built before the 1958 cam

New York (U.R) Joe Wil
man has been in many tough
matches during a 38-year career
in which he has won seven na
tional match game champion
ships and rolled his way into the
bowling Hall of Fame, but the
toughest of them all was a com
mand performance for a gen
eral. Wilman ranks as one of the
nation's top tournament stars. In
between matches, he currently
is a bowling professor who is
"teaching teachers" so that bowl
ing can keep pace with a tremen
dous upsurge which has boosted
its participants over the 20
million mark.
Yet the pressure of the largest
tournaments never can match
one war-time game which Joe
rolled when he was "the best
bed-pan commando in Uncle
Sam's Army."
Close To Home
Wilman -recalls with a chuckle
that, after receiving his greet

body was warm so they put me

of the camp bowling alleys and
enjoyed life only 90 miles from
home.

Pitcher Don Larsen Joins
Mickey Mantle as Holdout
By FRED DOWN
United Press Sports Writer
New York '.U.R General
Manager George Weiss of the
New York Yankees parried Don
Larson's opening bid for a S27,
500 contract today on the theory
that one perfect game doesn't
make a season.
"Don will get every consider
ation in his new contract for
having pitched his masterpiece,"
said Weiss in reply to the World
Series hero's demand. "But we
have an entire season to think
of. too,' and how many games
will he win eight or nine?"
Larsen, who actually had an
11-5 record during the regular
American league campaign, an
nounced in San Diego, Calif.,
Wednesday that he has returned
the Yankees' first offer unsigned
and added that he might quit
baseball if his demand is not
met. It was reported by a source
close to Larsen that the Yankees
had offered him about a $4,500
increase.
Quitting Talk Not Serious
Weiss refused to discuss fig
ures but made it plain he isn't
taking Larsen's talk of quitting
baseball seriously.
Weiss said lis next step, after
actually receiving the rejected
contract, "will be to decide
whether to offer Don a new con
tract calling for a little more
money or discuss the matter
with him so he sees our point
of view." He laughed off sug
gestions that any "emergency
head-to-head meeting" might be
called, explaining, "some play
ers have a way of asking for a
lot more than they ever expect
to get." '
Larsen, who achieved his
unique share of immortality
with his perfect game against
the Brooklyn Dodgers. Oct. 8,
joined slugger Mickey Mantle as
a Yankee holdout. Mantle, the
American league's triple crown
winner and most valuable play
er, is demanding S60.000.
Had Been Disappointment
Larsen was a disappointment
to the Yankees until September
when he started to use his now
famous "no-windup windup."

the camp bowling team. Ulti
mately Joe's team and the Mc
Chord Air Field team met for
the Ninth Service Command
championship and Joe's com
manding general was on hand for
the roll off occupying a camp
stool on the adpoining approach.
Each team won one game and
then, in the final game, Wilman
rolled 9 straight strikes.
"The general has never seen a
300 game," whispered one of the
generals aides. "If you strike
out, he ll give you a two week
furlough with full travel time."
Away From Horn
Joe hadn't been home in nine
months. All he needed was three
j straight strikes to win the match
and the trip.
"Well, I got two of them," he
recalls ruefully. "The final hit
was as good as any of them but
the 10 pin stayed up and I rolled
only' 299."
As the 10-pin teetered, how
ever, the general leaned forward
so far that he fell off the camp
stool on his face.
"I didn't get the furlough,"
Joe says. "But the general sent
me a letter saying I was the
only PFC who ever knocked a
general off his chair and didn't
get court martialed."

It's on the basis of the "per
fact game pitcher" that he's mak

that it's on the basis of the "im
perfect season pitcher" that
Weiss is countering with his own
offer.
The Yankees were among the
group of major league teams
who did announce signings to
day. They obtained signatures
from shortstops Billy Hunter, a
utility man last year, and Jerry
Lumpe, who flopped in an early
season trial and was farmed out
to Richmond.
Jim Hearn, veteran right
hander obtained from the Giants
last October after a 5-11 year,
became the fourth Philadelphia
Phillie to sign.
Walt Dropo, top fielding first
baseman in the American league
last season with a .993 fielding
mark, sent in his autograph to
the Chicago White Sox along
with pitchers Paul LaPalme and
Jim Wilson, catcher Les Moss,
and bonus baby outfielder-pitcher
Bob Powell.
Among the others to sign
were: pitchers Don Liddle and
Lloyd Merritt and first baseman
Rocky Nelson of the St. Louis
Cardinals; catchers Danny Kra

Disabled Vets Seeking Licenses
For Fishing Saved
Portland This year thousands
of disabled Oregon veterans will

that an honorably discharged
war veteran, including one with
Korean period service, who has
resided in Oregon at least one
year immediately preceding his

Obesity Brings
Death To Huge,
Heavy Wrestler
San Francisco U.R) Willie
(Jumbo) Kennedy, once known
as the world's biggest wrestler,
died Wednesday night at San
Francisco hospital of a heart ail
ment resulting from his obesity.
He was 45.
Kennedy was stricken at his
apartment. He died shortly after
entering the hospital. His phy
sician was Dr. Bobby Brown
former New York Yankee third
baseman.
Kennedy's weight was a mat
ter of conjecture at the time of
his death. He outweighed the
hospital scales, which go only
up to 400 pounds. Hospital at
tendants guessed he might have
weighed as much as 600 pounds.
Brown said Kennedy's usual
size was swelled as a result of
fluids caused by his heart ail
ment. 12 Men Needed
Twelve ambulance stewards
and firemen ' were required to
carry Kennedy from his apart- j
ment to the ambulance. He was
strapped in a heavy duty rescue i
stretcher for the move. j
Kennedy weighed in at 465 j
pounds for his first wrestling
match here on May 4, 1937. He
flattened his opponent, Bronco
Valde of Mexico City, in two
minutes and 14 seconds. !
The State Athletic Commis-1
sion suspended him temporarily
two years later when his weight
shot up to 550 pounds. !
