Frank Cars well
Portland Mentor
Portland UR) An unexpect
ed shuttle in the Portland Bea
ver coaching staff late yesterday
saw Bill Fleming resign and
outfielder Frank C a rs w e 1 1
named Immediately to fill the
vacancy with the club.
Fleming had served as a coach
with the Beavers since 1952. He
first Joined Portland as a pitcher
in 1948.
i Carswell, a veteran of the pro
fessional game since 1941, joined
' Portland last June after his pur
chase from Tulsa of the Texas
league.
Medford high school hoop
sters go out tonight and Friday
to get the jump in the South
ern Oregon conference second
half while the Crater Comets,
although decidedly the under
dogs, are still ambitious for
their first triumph in the circuit.
The Black Tornado and Com
ets' collide at the Hcdrick gym
at Medford tonight and at Cen
tral Point tomorrow. Varsity
game time is 8:15 p.m. on each
occasion. Junior varsities mix
I it at 6:30 p.m.
Since Klamath Falls, co-lead-.
er with Medford at the midway
! point, is idle this week end, the
Tornado has a big opportunity
to take over lone leadership
from the Pelicans. Medford will
have to sweep the Crater series
to do it. A split with the Comets
would give Klamath the loop's
top place percentagewise.
The Medfordites desire the
league leadership for a psycho
logical edge next week when
the defending champs oppose
the Pelicans at Klamath Falls.
Tornado teams, more often than
not, have found the Pels tough
to beat on the Klamath floor.
Haven't Given Up
But victory is just about as
important, toofi to the Comets
who don't want to settle for a
winless season in the circuit
in their first year as an A-l
competitor. And the Crater crew
says it hasn't given up. The
Comets made rugged nights for
the Tornado despite their two
stebacks in the first round and
more of the same hard battling
is anticipated this week end.
Crater hit its best stride of
1ht iepaon In a Insinff cause to
Klamath Falls last Friday and
is hoping for a repeat perform
ance to give a nip and tuck
battle to Medford.
Medford has its rugged play
ers, too, in Dick Copple, Dick
McLoughlin and Neil Plumley,
who are expected to be starters
tonight, and in Tom Hamlin.
Others likely to be in Med
ford's , opening five are Dick
Puhl andl.arry Perkins.
Possible opening five for Crat
er is Dick Davis, Fred Herrmann,
Randy Campbell, Joe Teeter and
Wayne Allen.
Grants Pass and Ashland are
rivals in the other league series
this week end. :

Grid Coach of USC Trojans

ridden University of Southern
California has turned to a mem
ber of is own staff to assume
the role of head football coach

over as athletic director next
fall.
The selection climaxed nearly

who would follow In the foot
steps of Hill who gave the Pacific
Coast Conference its only vic
tory over the Big Ten in the
Rose Bowl since the bowl pact
began 10 years ago. Hill was at
the helm of the Trojans for five
seasons and his team in 1952 de
feated Wisconsin, 7-0, in the
granddaddy of all bowl games.
School officials announced 13
months ago that Hill would suc
ceed retiring Willis O. (Bill)
Hunter as' atheltic director in
the fall of 1957. At first USC had
a lot of potential takers for the
coming football coach vacancy
but the PCC later imposed stiff
penalties against the school, re
sulting in a boycott by those who
previously were eager to coach
the always powerful Trojans.

his size to advantage again this
week end in games with the
Crater high Comets. The teams
tussle here this evening and at
Central Point Saturday night.

third ranking scorer in confer
ence play for the Tornado with
