TWETVMEDFORD (REGN) Giants Vanquish Collegians On Strength of Know How' By ED SAINSBURY United Press Sports Writer Chicago W An "old man's know-how" pulled the New York Giants to a 22-12 win over the 1957 College All-Stars in the 24th battle between the best of the pros and -the standout col legians. Chucking Charlie Conerly, a 33-year-old Mississippian with nine years of experience with the National Football League cham pions, wasted no motions in spurring his team from behind to win. His chief assistants were Ben Agajanianv 38, a place-kicking specialist, and Ken MacAfee, 28, an end. MacAfee, who has av eraged one touchdown for every four passes caught in pro com petition, hauled in only three of Conerly's efforts Friday night, but two of them went for touch downs on gains of 38 and 10 yards. - , When Cdnerly's passing at tack slipped, Agajanian pro duced. In addition to making the conversions after each touch down, he booted field goals of 33 and 45 yards, the latter only one yard short of the All-Star Game record. In all, Conerly hit on eight of 17 passes for 124 yards, most of the Giants passing gains of 160 yards. The All Stars stubborn de fense was the biggest surprise to New York Giants Coach Jim HowelL "They were strong in the line and had us choking up early in the game." Howell said. "The two toughest boys were Guard Jim Parker of Ohio State and Center John Matsko of Michigan Slate." Howell said he was "satis fied" with the performance of the Giants, but that they would have to improve a lot in the next six weeks if they're going to successfully defend their Na tional Football League crown. Ben Agajanian's trusty toe as sured victory when his last field goal made the score 20-12 with nine minutes left lo play. Agajanian's 45-yard boot was one yard short of the record set by Lee Arioe of the Chicago Bears in 1941. .

"We didn't know he could run thai fast." he exclaimed. The Giants' "Oold Reliable" quarterback. Chuck Conerly, said the All Stars almost pulled the game out of the fire in the last quarter when one of his passes was almost intercepted when the Giants were leading by five points. Howell said his boys were "up" for the game, but not as high as last winter when they trounced the Chicago Bears, 47-7 for the pro championship. This attacking group, though, had to share, honors with the de fense. In the second half the All- Pettit Hits Homer To Give Stars Win Over Angels 6-5 Los Angeles, Aug. 10 OP) Paul Pettit led off the 10th frame with a homer to give Hollywood its winning run Sat urday as the Stars edged Los Angeles, 6 to 5, in a Pacific Coast league contest. Both squads used three hurl-, ers in the game which Los An geles tied in the seventh inning. Los Angeles letids the cross town rivarly 12-7 for the sea son, although the Angels have now suffered a dozen defeats in their last 14 games. Pettit's tie - breaking homer was his 15th of the year. The Stars got two runs in the third when Dick Smith got his first roundtripper this season and Leo Rodriguez singled in one. After Los Angeles evened it in the fourth, the Stars moved ahead again as Jim Baumer con nected for his 11th homer fol lowing Smthi's double in the fifth, and Tony Bartirome sin gled home an unearned tally in the sixth. Angels Tie It - ' Big Steve Bilko drove in Los Angeles' two fourth-frame' runs with a single, Gale Wade's pinchhit single scored another in the sixth and an error and Bil ko's sacrifice fly enabled the Angels to tie it in the seventh. Bob Garber, last of three on the mound for Hollywood, scored his eighth win against six losses, and Babe Birrer lost for 3-6. In the three-inning old tim ers' contest, Hollywood took it, 3-1. Today. Hollywood sends Don TRowe (5-5) and Fred Waters (3-4) against Vito Valentinetti (7-4) and Connie Grob (0-1). A single by Bob Lennon cli maxed . a two-run, ninth-inning rally and drove in -the winning run Saturday as the San Diego Padres edged the Seattle Rai niers 7-6 in a Pacific Coast league series opener at Lane Field. Pete Mesa, the last of three Padre pitchers, got credit for the win, his eighth this year against seven defeats. Bill Kennedy, the last of four Rainier pitchers col lected the loss, his first of the season against eight wins. Rainiers Trail The Rainiers trailed during the first seven innings, collect ing single runs in the second, sixth and seventh frames while the Padres scored two in the first and three in the third. The seventh inning tally by the Rai niers was on a homer by Bob Thurman, his seventh on the year. The big Padre blows in cluded a one-run triple by Rudy FORGETFUL HARRY He Co a Id Have Borrowed for His Sunday, August 11, 1957 Stars gained only seven yards rushing and 62 passing and but for Paige Cotherns 24-yard field goal, they would have been held scoreless. Cotherni from Mississippi also, kicked a 12-yard field goal ear lier, while , another southerner, Billy Ray parnes of Wake For est, ran two yards for the All Star touchdown. Barnes was the running threat of the collegians, picking up 60 yards in 11 carries with one rush of 29 yards, to lead all ball car riers in average gains. It was the 17th win for the pro team in the annual game which opens the pro exhibition season. The collegians have won seven with two ties. Regalado in the first and a three run double by Earl Averill in the third. The Rainiers came up with a big three-run eighth inning that put them out in front 6-5. The runs came on two walks, a dou ble by Maurice Wills and a two run single by Dick Aylward. t Lennon's single was one of three collected off JCennedy in the final frame. It came on the first pitch after Rudy Regalado had connected with a single into short right to score Bill Harrell with the tying run. , Bud Podbielan and Gene Hay den will start for the Rainiers tomorrow against the Padres' Dick Brodowski (10-3) and Vic Lombardi (5-1).

Athlete Appeals Loss of Status New York (IP) Lee Calhoun, Olympic and U.S. high hurdles champion, said today he will ap peal to the Amateur Athletic Union for reinstatement of the amateur status he lost Friday by being married on the "Bride and Groom" television show. Calhoun and his bride, the former Gwendolyn Bannister, of Stamford, Conn., received some 82,500 in gifts, but that wasn't the main objection of the AAU. Secretary Dan Ferris of the AAU said that the TV show was "capitalizing" on the 23-year-old athlete's fame, and that therefore he would not give AAU permission for appear ance on the sponsored show. Calhoun, whose home is in Garf, Ind., and who attended school at North Carolina Col lege, must first appeal to the. Carolina AAU for reinstate ment, and if his home associa tion votes in his favor, ,the na tional body then would review the case.

BRADDOCK Former Heavyweight Champion (Written for the United Press) New York It was a little different when I was fighting. In 1935, when I won the title as a 20-1 shot against Max Baer, the heavyweight division was loaded with names and there was a young fellow called Joe Louis threatening everybody with a pair of dynamite-laden fists. I was to get to know Joe Louis fairly intimately two years later. When you've t names like Louis and Baer ai good foreign fighters like Max ochmeling and Paulino Uzcudun to add an in ternational flavor, you've got a pretty good start towards pros perity. These names aren't around today and people are crying that boxing is dead. It has always been theory that without a good heavyweight di vision, boxing sleeps and dies. That isn't entirely true and never has been. A "Dream" Fight Take the bout between Sugar Ray Robinson and Carmen Ba silio that the International Box ing club is putting on at Yankee Stadium on Monday, Sept. 23. It is a fight that would fit in whether it was in my time or yours. This is the "dream" fight that the public will pay for and it doesn't matter what the price of admission is. They'll go and Old Rider Breaks Leg Del Mar, Calif. (IP) Johnny Longden, the world's oldest, richest and winningest jockey, neared the end of the trail Sat urday after suffering a double break in his right leg at Del Mar race track. The 47 - year - old rider, who has collected 5,090 victories in more than a quarter of a cen tury of horse racing, lay in Scripps Memorial hospital at nearby La Jolla with no mis givings about Friday's accident that may sideline him perma nently from the game he loves. Asked if this was the end of a riding life for him, Long den said: "I don't know. We'll wait and see." Dr. R. V. Fait, the track phy sician, said "Johnny will be side lined for at least six months. A double break like this is seri ous and at his age it will heal slowly especially in view of the fact that it is near an old break." Ironically, Longden had his leg broken by a 2-year-old filly named Royal Zaca, a daughter of Royal Serenade. Longden had ridden the latter to victory in the $100,000 Hollywood Gold Cup a few years ago. , Royal Zaca started to flip over backwards in the gate. Johnny's leg was momentarily caught against the side of the gate and that caused the break. Referee Chosen For Seattle Bout Tacoma The Washington State Athletic Commission said today it had chosen Tommy Loughran, former light heavy weight champion, to referee the Floyd Patterson-Pete Rade macher title bout in Seattle Aug. 22. Loughran will be the only official for the bout. The commission last week waived the use of two judges at the re quest of Cus D'Amato, Patter son's manager. Tlie selection of Loughran was agreeable to both parties, the commission said. Seattle Man Falls From Top of Water Tower Everett, Wash. (IP) Charles G. Melloy, 36, Seattle, was killed Friday when he fell 150 feet from the top of a water tower on which he was work ing at the Simpson Paper" com pany. Snohomish County Coroner Ken Baker said Melloy, who was foreman of a crew employed by the H. A. Somers company, Se attle, either slipped or was struck by a hook attached to a crane which was lifting steel piates to the tower's top.

Box 1389, Medford, or Phone TOwnsend 5-2294 Butte Falls Socket see it because it has every ele ment of punch, skill, drama and suspense. This kind of match doesn't come along too often. It would compare to a Harry Greb-Mick-ey Walker fight, or Billy Pe-trolle-Jimmy McLarnin for ex citement potential. Promoters today have to do the best with the available tal ent, just as they did years ago, although there was much more talent available then, i That doesn't excuse the Floyd Patterson- Peter x Rademacher match that is being fought for the "heavyweight" title in Se attle on Aug. 22. There's no ex cuse for that one and it should be billed strictly as an exhibi tion if it has to be done at all. As the so-called "Cinderella man 'of boxing, it is difficult for me to eliminate a chance for Rademacher, but that chance is so slim, it would have to be a miracle. I was a professional, of more or less proven ability. Rademacher has never fought as a professional and his reputation as an amateur fighter, I have been told by writers who cov ered the recent Olympic Games, is not that of a great fighter, or even a very good one. Perhaps Patterson isn't great, as yet, but he is the best professional fight er among the heavyweights. How would I rate the future of the heavyweight division? My opinion of Patterson is that he can achieve some meas ure of recognition as champion only if he fights the best. I feel that Eddie Machen is the best right now. He would not only be a test for Patterson but would constitute a threat be cause of his punch. After Ma chen, the class is virtually even. The "oldsters" "like Nino Valdes, Archie Moroe, Bob Satterfield are outsiders in the field. My vote for the best prospect for the future is Alex Miteff, the Argentinian who seems to have everything and will get there if he is not rushed. Willie Pas trano, Roy Harris, Zora Folley are young and good but have a bit to go yet. And as has often happened in boxing, some new young stal wart will come out of nowhere to bring back the punch and ex citement and the sport, which has been often killed but never died, will be thriving and vi brant again. Youths Chosen For Davis Team New York, Aug. 10 (IP) Chris Crawford of Piedmont, Calif., Ed Sledge Jr. of Dallas and Earl Buchholz Jr. of St. Louis each was named to the U.S. Junior Davis Cup tennis team Saturday for the second year in a row.

Akins Aims At Title i Cleveland IUV-Virgil Akins. veteran St. Louis welterweight, clamored Saturday for a shot at the winner of the Ray Robin-son-Basilio title bout, figuring he earned it by his upset eight round technical knockout over Garnett Sugar Hart Friday night. Referee Lou Parker stopped the fight after 49 seconds of the eighth round, but many ring siders in the public auditorium felt he should have made the gesture mid-way in the seventn when a looping right hook dropped Hart for an eight-count, after which he arose and absorb ed a merciless pasting. ' Akins and the 10th ranked Hart of Philadelphia weighed 148 pounds each for their nationally-televised bout. Akins began hurting the 20- year-old Hart, who suffered his third loss in 25 bouts, in the sixth round with stiff combina tions to the body. Hart seemed unable to protect himself in the seventh, during which he took a terrific pounding against the ropes.
