Janet Sidda, who does not like golf, is forcing the Ryder Cup matches to open on a shortened course Friday. She refused to let the British and American professionals use the beck tee on the fifth hole at the Lindrick Golf club. It seems she owns the land it is on. Club officials said Mrs. Sidda kad permitted use of the land by the club for 38 years, then suddenly demanded $480 annual rent. They said it. was "black mail" and refused to pay. "We will play from the for ward tee which the. Professional Golfers association has ap proved," said club captain Chris Furness. "It'll just make the hole shorter, that's all."

Etefs Dislike Grid Rule on Substitution By RUSS GREEN ' Uaiied Press Sports Writer Philadelphia (IP) College football's rule on substitutions that of a player not returning to the game a second time in the same period was judged just as unpopular to the officials as it was to the coaches today. Two veteran officials a bank er and the athletic director of a college shrugged their should ers at a luncheon of the football olub of the Philadelphia Sports Writers association Tuesday and admitted the rule on reporting had its drawbacks. But, like a cop saying "That's the law" they could only say "That's the rule." At least one banker Bill Rey nolds who gets his share of the big games said a more ideal method of sending in substitutes would be to follow that of basketball replacements in hav ing the incoming players report to a designated "person at the sideline. That would be one way to keep the lists straight, and avoid the chance of an illegal substitu tion. The Rule Under the rule, a player com ing into the game after the period has started reports either to the head linesman or the um pire depending from which side of the field his team's bench is located. If he leaves and comes back again in the same period he is sent to the sidelines and his team draws a 15-yard penalty. "The officials carry a card with the numbers 1 to 100," Reynolds explained with Ath letic Director Jim Henry of La- Salle college nodding affirma tion. Around In Circles "When an incoming player re ports during a period, the of ficial draws a circle about his number. Should a player come back in during the same period, and there's a circle about his number out he goes and the penalty is assessed." It makes no difference when the illegal substitution is dis covered. It draws the penalty, even if it isn't observed until three, four or five plays later. There's the question of who is responsible the coach or the official in keeping track of the numbers. They're still knotted over that. Protein in potatoes contains important amino acids.

Knox's Charges Said Ridiculous By GENE BLUDEAU Chicago (IP) Harvey Knox, controversial sparkplug in the football and film career of bis son, Ronnie Knox, tossed a long-awaited bombshell and "op ening salvo" today at the Chi cago Bears. The elder Knox, outspokea manager of Ronnie, a halfback with the Chicago Bears, charg ed that the George Halas club paid his son only $18.75 for each exhibition, appearance with the Bears this year. "This is just the opening salvo in the battle between Halas and me," Knox said. "And I intend to see that my boy gets every thing that's coming to him. Amused Owner Halas was merely amused by Knox's charge. He countered that the elder Knox was "going off half-cocked, and the whole thing is ridiculous. "That $18.75 Knox is com plaining about is his meal money," Halas said. "Each play er gets $500 at the end of the season for his play in exhibition games." Steelers Hoping Jinx Will Work By EARL WRIGHT United Press Sports Writer Can Buddy Parker maintain his jinx over Paul Brown's Cleveland Browns? That's one of the interesting questions National Football league fans can mull over before Parker's Steelers play host to the Bownies Saturday night at Pittsburgh. In six seasons as coach of the Detroit Lions, Parker compiled a record of 10 victories, one tie and one loss in championship, regular season and exhibition competition against the Browns. No other coach has been so suc cessful against Brown's club. Browns Favored The Browns are favored by 3V2 points against the Steelers. The Giants are six-point choices to whip the Eagles at Philadelphia and the Chicago Bears are 54 point favorites to defeat the Colts at Baltimore in the other Saturday night games. The Giants and Bears ars picked to win. In Sunday's action, the Card inals are seven-point choices to defeat the Washington Redskins at Chicago, the Packers are six point choices against the Lions at Green Bay and the Los An geles Rams are favored over the Forty-Niners by the same mar gin for their game at San Fran cisco. The Cardinals, Lions and Forty-Niners are picked to win. McLaughlin Girding For Comet Club Ofifensive drills, aimed at smoothing the functioning of the feaek-s, have been the order this week at McLoughlin Junior High. hhkk graaers prepped for their g.r-id opener with the Crater freshmen. The fray will be at 3:30 p.m. at the McLoughlin field.

Reed said that li.no wnrlr imnrpcsivp at timps has lacked' the consistency of an up and coming group. He stated that last Thursday's scrimmage with Hedrick showed that the line must improve if the Bull dogs are to be considered a threat. Indefinite Starting' assignments for Cra ter are indefinite but Reed named a probable crew. Ai ends, for ffease he listed Bob Quin- ney and Larry Hammack or Steve Heote, Al Morton or Jerry Winetrout.

Nub Ecamer Tops Bushing Los Augelcs HP) Washington State Quarterback Bob Newman led the Pacifitf Coast Conference in passing aad total offense after two gafaes, statistics released by the coramiesioaer's office showed today. The versatile quarterback led in passing with 20 completions in 33 attempts for 262 yards and a 60.6 percentage mark. An ad ditional 27 yards rushing game him a 289 yards in total offense. Oregon State Fullback Nub Bemer was the leading rusher with SOS ; yards for an average of 6.5 yards per carry on 32 times he handled the ball.

Jarck Fanning of Washington State led in scoring wilh 24 points, followed by Beamer with 18 and Wilson with 13. Flanagan Picked To Beat Bahama Chicago (IP) Veteran Del Flanagan of St. Paul, Minn., was a slight favorite today to defeat Yama Bahama in to night's televised middleweight fight and perhaps get a chance later for the 160-pound title. Washington was admitted as a state in 1889 and it became the 42nd in succession to enter into the Union. orld w Medford Area Footballers Bolster Southern Oregon Squad for Linfield Fray By BOB McKENZIE Ashland Football fans of the area will get an opportunity to see the defending champions of the Northwest league when Lin field invades the Southern Ore gon college campus this Satur day to do battle with the Red Raiders. Coach Al Akins is expecting one of the toughest games of the season from Paul Durham's gridders, and will again be call ing on the wealth of football talenf he has found in the Med ford area. Among the Medford area athletes on this year's squad are Chuck Romine, Jerry Dar land, Buddy Brittsan, Eldon Francis, Gordon Owsley, Del mar Brood, Jim McAbee, and Al Geren. Romine, an all conference guard for the Red Raiders last season, has moved to the tackle position this fall, and is again the most outstanding man in the SOC front wall. Chuck has consistently been the fifth man in the opposing teams backfield and a dependable blocker on offense. Darland, back at end for his second year with the Raiders broke into the scoring column against University of British Columbia Saturday as he grab bed two touchdown passes good OSC Readies For Big 10 Aggregation Oregon State College, Corval lis Oregon State's powerhouse Beavers, conquerors of Southern California and Kansas in their first two starts, take a crack at Big Ten competition Saturday against Northwestern at Evans ton. The Wildcats bowed to Stan ford, 26 to 6, last week end at Palo Alto, and the Beavers will be favored to notch their first vicjpry over the Western con ference since Tommy Prothro began directing OSC fortunes. The biggest problem facing Northwestern will be stopping OSC's balanced line single wing offense whfch has rolled up 806 yards in two games, 672 of that coming on the ground. This blistering attack has ac counted for eight touchdowns, while yielding a single six-pointer- to Kansas. The impressive thiqg about these figures is that they have been accumulated with the first eleven on the bench most of the time. Regulars To Be Busy For the first time in Prothro's three years at Oregon State has the first unit been called on as sparingly as this season. But scouting reports from the Northwestern-Stanford game indicate the regulars will be on the line more next Saturday. Ara Parseghian's young Wild cat team, plagued by penalties against the Indians, has two fast, deceptive halfbacks in Bob Mc Keiver and Will Fowler which look to bother the Beaver de fenses. .Two sophomore quarter backs, bothered by first game problems, will undoubtedly be in better form before the home crowd. The Beavers had four work outs slated for this week, with departure planned for early Fri day morning by chartered plane from Corvallis. The team will stay at the Edgewater-Beach ho tel in Chicago,, returning to Cor vallis Sunday morning. Statistically fullback Nub Beamer leads the team in rush ing (205 yards) and total offense (234) followed by wingback Earnel Durden and tailback Joe Francis, who is sporting a nifty 12.4 average per carry rushing.

Al Geren, like Darland, is a former St. Mary's of Medford football pro duct, and has been seeing a lot of action at both guard and tackle for SOC. Brittsan Tough McAbee, the' Talent baseball whiz, has traded his glove for a pair of shoulder pads this fall and is also making the compe tition rough at the end position. One of the reasons for the outstanding performances of Romine this season has been Buddy Brittean a sophomore from Medford. Buddy is one of the hardest hitting linemen on the SOC squad this . year and has been pushing the first string ers hard for a starting position either at guard or tackle. The Raider backfield boasts a quartet of Medford area pro ducts this season. George Juve land, freshman from Crater High scored his first touchdown in college football against, UBC on Saturday as he scampered 31 yards on a punt return. Eldon Francis and Gordon Owsley, freshman from Medford high have been playing a lot on de fense as both boys have proved to be excellent pass defenders. Owsley has intercepted three passes for the Red Raiders in the first two games of the sea son, grabbing one from Moffett Naval Air Base and two from UBC. Brood Bids Strong at SOC Delmar Brood of Phoenix has decided to play his football at SOC afte'r spending last season lugging the leather for Shasta JC in California. Brood, who has yet to make a punt return of under 2Q yards this season, prov ed he can also run from scrim mage, averaging nine yards a carry against UBC Saturday in a performance that may gain him a starting berth for the Linfield game this Saturday night. These are only, a few of the players from the Southern Ore gon area Coach Al Akins will be counting on this week end in an effort to upset the highly favored Wildcats. Linfield is picked to repeat as the North west champion. It took a firm hold on the fav orite Vole last Saturday, running over Lewis and Clark 33 to 6. Kick off time for the Satur day fracas will be 8 p.m.. Buff Done! I i Gets Honor By FRANK LITSKY New York HP) He was wor ried about starting his inexpe rienced son at quarterback but the youngster won the game. He couldn't persuade his wife to watch the game or even listen on the radio "because she was afraid the boy would do some thing wrong." He was carried off the field on the shoulders of his players, a rare occasion at a college where football victories are mighty scarce. He is Aldo (Buff) Donelli of Columbia, the United Press Coach of the Week after his first game at Columbia. The always undermanned Lions, with Pop pa's boy Dick running, passing, kicking and defending superbly in a 59-minute iron-man stint, upset Brown 23-20. It was noteworthy enough for a two-teuchdown underdog and it was poetic justice because 20-year-old Dick, the Columbia mascot a dozen years ago, faced so much pressure. The state of New York, a lead er In population and industry, rates second in "dairy products, third in vegetable growing. and fourth in fruit raising.
