1 FOURTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday. October 17. 1957 I Raider, Owl Mix May Be Postponed Ashland Coach Al Akins this morning mentioned the possibil ity of postponing Southern Ore gon college's Saturday football game here with Oregon Tech nical institute. The head tutor said that if there are not enough players out for practice this afternoon he may take that step. Sixteen players missed yester day's workout because of the flu bug. Of these seven are members of the starting eleven. The ill ness toll included Chuck Cran dall and Norm Olivia, ends; Chuck Romine, tackle; Lance Locke, quarterback; George Juveland, halfback, and Ron Maurer, halfback. Maurer was on the scene yesterday but was not in pads. Defense Stressed There was considerable likeli hood that the gridders would be back in harness today, neverthe less, and that the game can go ahead as scheduled. Oregon Tech, said to be over a siege with the flu, is leading the Ore gon Collegiate conference and Southern Oregon is regarded as a strong contender for the ban ner. The Raider drills this week have not been heavy with little contact in offensive work. Main stress has been on fortifying the SOC defense. National Intercollegiate Ath letic association statistics show Maurer ninth in rushing among small college gridders of the na tion. Southern Oregon was listed fifth in team passing. iSPORTSj WSC Emphasizes Running Game Pullman, Wash. (IP) Wash ington State Coach Jim Suth erland emphasized work on the running game in Wednesday's practice session of the air-minded Cougars.

SWITCH WORKS OUT Columbus, Ohio IIP) Sopho more fullback Bob White of Cov ington, Ky., may have won him self a job as starting center for Ohio State against Indiana Sat urday. Coach Woody Hayes switched the hulking 215-pound-er from the backfield to the line three days ago and following Wednesday's practice, said White is "definitely the No. 1 center on defense." TIGERS PURCHASE McMANUS Detroit (IP) First baseman Jim McManus has been bought by the parent Detroit Tigers from their Birmingham farm in the Southern association. "Mc Manus, 22, batted .261 with the Barons in 1957, and had 17 home runs with 60 runs batted in. Linnton Sawmill Deslroyed by Fire Portland OF Fire late Wed nesday night and early today destroyed the Kingsley Lumber Company sawmill at Linnton just north of here. There was no immediate esti mate of monetary loss. Two fireboats joined 20 other pieces of equipment in battling the three-alarm blaze and man aged to save lumber in the yards, a large dry kiln and the planing mill. The fire was discovered about 11:30 p.m. and spread rapidly. Flames for a time threatened an oil storage plant nearby. Eric Erickson, mill superin tendent, said 90 men were work ing in the mill. President of the lumber firm is George Arch Kingsley, who was in New York Thursday. Kingsley also is president of the Portland baseball team of the Pacific Coast League. The fire halted traffic on Northwest St. Helens road through Linnton for more than half an hour. The SP&S freight train No. 231 to Eugene was stopped by fire hoses stretched down to the riverfront mill. Pendleton Police To Keep Big Hats Pendleton (IP The past and the Pendleton Chamber of Commerce have triumphed over the police chief and progress. Pendleton police will continue to wear those 10-gallon skim mers. Some time ago Chief of Police Ernest Gallaher recommended that the 10-gallon hats give way to uniform-type police caps, not ing that the cowboy bonnets are uncomfortable, hard to keep clean and prone to hit the dust when a cop is getting in and out of a patrol car. But Wednesday night the Pen dleion city council bowed to the wishes of the Pendleton COC, w hich said the 10-gallon Western type toppers were a strong tour ist attraction, and turned down the recommendation for uniform type police caps. Pirate Team To Oppose Rogue River Phoenix Phoenix High's foot ball aggregation, like most of those in the area, has had its troubles with illnesses, but Coach Jack Woodward reported that the Pirates will be ready to go on Friday in their game with Rogue River. The night fray will be at Phoe nix. Rogue River is the cellar club and Phoenix one of the un beaten leaden in the Rogue league. Woodward reported that Den nis James, who has been see ing quarterback service, may start at fullback this week. Don Wallace, who has been at full, is also a defensive linebacker and the change is designed to give him more rest. The start ing quarterback would be eith er Jim Heath or Jim Stout. Daugherty Ails The mentor stated that Ron Daugherty, regular center, is ailing and that Bob Taylor like ly will have first call at the pivot post. The Pirate drill this week has focused on offense, particu larly on blocking, which the mentor pointed out has not been too satisfactory. Phoenix won 12 to 7 Monday from Illinois Valley in a junior varsity ruckus. Washington (IP) President Eisenhower will spend two of the next three Saturday after noons like millions of sports fans across the country at college football games.

Norblad Asks Review Of Air Academy Heed Newport (IP) Rep. Walter Norblad (R-Ore.) Wednesday night called for reconsideration of the need for the Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, Colo. The congressman, a ranking member of the House Armed Services committee, told a meet ing of the Newport Lions club that a school for scientists would be more approrpriate in an age when missiles are replacing air planes.
