Detroit 17 Next Sunday's Game Chicago Bears at Los Angeles Detroit at San Francisco New York at Green Bay Philadelphia at Chicago Cards Washington at Cleveland Pittsburgh at Baltimore By EARL WRIGHT TJniled Press Sports Writer The San Francisco Forty-Nin-crs, shocked by the death of their president during another of their narrow victories, and the Cleveland Browns took un disputed division leads Sunday in what promises to be the wild est races in National Football league history. Anthony J. (Tony) Morabito, advised to "get out of football" after he had a heart attack sev eral years ago, suffered another in the second quarter at San FrancLsco. He was dead when his Forty-Niners wiped out a 17-7 halftime deficit and edged the Chicago Bears, 21-17. The Bears were five point favorites. The Forty-Niners started the day tied with the Baltimore Colts and Detroit Lions for the Western division lead. Los An geles Rams whipped Detroit, 35-17, and the Green Bay Pack ers upset Baltimore, 24-21, on Babe Parilli's 75-yard scoring pass to Bill Howton in the last 29 seconds. Those results left San Fran cisco alone at the top but Coach Frankie Albert couldn't enjoy the third victory his team has recorded this year by four points or less. "We'd rather lose them all by 100 points than lose what we did. Tony was the greatest own er," Albert said while tears trickled down his cheeks. Cleveland, grinding away be hind a defense that has allowed only 46 points .in five games, rallied to beat the Chicago Car dinals, 17-7. The Browns had been tied with the New York Giants for the Eastern lead but were left alone at the top when the Washington Redskins down- Women's Goif It was prematurely reported last week that Mrs. William Mil ler was the winner of the RVWG trophy. The story con cerned the' fall handicap tourna ment at the Rogue Valley Country club course. Mrs. Miller won the championship flight of that tournament.

The RVWG is a medal tournament played on six times duiing the course of the ladies golfing season. The best four out of six plays deter mine the winner.

Coach Buddy Parker's Pitts burgh Steelers moved into a second-place tie with New York by shutting out the Philadelphia Eagles in the other game, 6-0. Heart Attack Fatal for SF Owner San Francisco (IP) Anthony J. Morabito, whose driving am bition was to win a National Football league pennant, died Sunday in the grandstands as his San Francisco Forty - Niners moved another notch to just that goal. The 47-year-old owner of the Forty-Niners collapsed in his usual 50-yard line seat of a heart attack. He never recovered, and he never knew his team stormed from behind to whip the Chicago Bears, 21-18. All efforts to revive Morabito failed, and Dr. William E. O. Grady, the team physician, pro nounced the colorful sports fig ure dead on arrival at St. Mary's Help hospital. Brother Takes Control Morabito's death unquestion ably had an effect on the out come of the game. When he suc cumbed, just before halftime, Chicago led, 17-7. The San Fran cisco players were not notified until the second half, and with in minutes they scored their second tally. Victor P. Morabito will assume control of the Forty Niners as a result of the death of his brother, Anthony. Victor holds 25 per cent of the Forty Niner partnership while Anthony held 40 per cent. The professional football club was managed by both brothers. The directorship now reverts solely to Victor. Other stockholders are Albert J. Ruffo, Franklin Mieuli, Lawrence J. Purcell, Dr. William E. O'Grady and James A. Gin ella. No immediate plans were made for a meeting of stockhold- SpOrt jt-l OSCAR FRALEY Parade xSkf Spor Wri,er ers. Eugene Now State Choice Coos Bay W The longest unbeaten string in Oregon high school football history has end ed. South Eugene defeated Marsh field 9-0 here Saturday night to mark the first defeat in 41 games for the Pirates. South Eugene got a safety in the sec ond period and a touchdown in the third period on a pass from Charley Warren to John Pol hemus. It was the first touchdown scored on Marshfield this sea son. The win established South Eugene as the state title favorite. OSC Drilling For Cougars Corvallis (IP) Oregon State's Beavers, losers for the second week in a row, opened drills to day for a homecoming date here Saturday with Washington State's pass-minded Cougars. Oregon State fell victim to Washington by a 19-6 score at Seattle last Saturday after see ing their unbeaten record go by the boards a week earlier again UCLA. It was Washington's first win of the season. The bruising game was accen tuated by high partisanship on both sides. Police had to lead two persons off the field in the second half and sporadic fist fights broke out after the game as the victorious Huskies car ried Coach Jim Owens off the field on their shoulders. Race Crash Kills Driver Concord, N.C (IP A 31-year-old Richmond, Va., truck driver and veteran auto racer was killed Sunday when his car tum bled down a 15-foot embank ment while making a turn on the Concord speedway. The crash in which Earl Bry ant was killed instantly, came on the eighth lap of the U.S. Modified championship and Lee Kirby Memorial race. Bryant was making a turn with several other cars and left the race track on the outside, crashing down the embankment and into an eight-inch pine tree. Banjo Matthews of Asheville, N.C, won the 200-lap event, clocking 53.5 miles per hour. Tokyo TP Japan stood at the top of the golf world today because an Oriental Gene Sara zen and a Manchurian-bom mashie artist proved once again that while you drive for show you putt for dough. That was the story as Nippon mopped up in the International Trophy and Canada Cup matches at Kasumigaseki Coun try club to wallop the best hitters from 29 other nations over a demanding 72-hole route. Torakichi (Pete) Nakamura, a 41-year-old refugee from the rice paddies, won the individual International trophy with a 14 under par record 274 for the 72-hole distance. They said he "can't hit it out of his own shadow" but he finished seven shots ahead of America's Sam Snead, South Africa's Gary Player and Welshman Dave Thomas. And Nakamura, a slant-eyed carbon copy of Sarazen, teamed with slender Koichi Ono, a nat uralized Japanese from Man churia, to cop the Canada Cup twosome title with a total of 557 19 shots under par and nine fat strokes ahead of the second place total of 566 carded by Snead and Jimmy Demaret. Nakamura"s individual 274 broke by one stroke the Inter national Trophy record of 275 set by Canada's Stan Leonard in 1954. This time Leonard fin ished in a tie for fifth with Ono at 283 while Demaret had a 285 which locked him with Aus tralia's Bruce Crampton. The Japanese, however, fell one shot short of matching Australia's record winning total o 556 in 1954 but it was- no contest as they stroked home nine shots ahead of the Yank's 566 with South Africa third at 569, Aus tralia fourth at 572, Wales sixth at 573 and Canada seventh at 576. , "We're all proud of you Pete," said International Golf associa tion President Frank Pace in presenting Nakamura the $2,500 top prize $1,500 for individual honors and half of the $2,000 team prize. "Me too," Pete grinned, kiss ing his putter. "He ought to kiss that putter," said Demaret. "That's the club that won the wholei ball of wax." Willamette, Linfield Top NW Football Linfield and Willamette held down the top spots in the North west Conference football race today after winning key games Saturday. Linfield remained on top with a 3-0 mark by walloping Whit man 35-21 at McMinnville. Wil lamette had too much punch for College of Idaho and defeated the Coyotes 33-21. The Bearcats now are 2-0-1. The other league game saw Lewis and Clark score on the last play of the game to defeat Pacific 19-14. The score came on a 39-yard pass from Royce McDaniel to Pete Hopkins. Monday, October 28, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NIKE Hansgen, Wallace Cop Race Trophy Danville, Va. (LP) Walt Hans gen of Westfield, N.J., and Char lie Wallace of Chevy Chase, Md., who pooled their efforts to win the President's cup sports car classic at the Virginia Inter national raceway Sunday, visit the White House Tuesday to re ceive their trophy. The unusual situation of a tie occurred when Hansgen, the fa vorite, spun his D-Jaguar from the track midway through the two and one-half hour race to avoid slamming into another car, and shattered a flywheel in the process. Hansgen then switched to Wallace's D-Jaguar and finished with an average speed of 76.82 miles per hour. DUE TO THE REMODELING OF THE LARGE DININGROOM OF THE ROGUE VALLEY COUNTRY CLUB, THERE WILL BE . . . NO MEETING TUESDAY, Oct. 29 The next regular meeting of the Med ford Rotary Club will be held Tuesday, November 5th Med: une Star in Defeat Selected On UP Backfield of Week New York HP) All-America football memo: A star in a losing cause rarely makes the United Press back field of the week but there's one today Bob Stransky of Colo rado. "Hard-to-stop all season long, high-scoring Stransky led Colo rado to within one point of tying mighty Oklahoma and for that was selected among the week's big four along with Tom Forres tal of Navy, Jackie Douglas of Stanford and Rene Ramirez of Texas. All four were named for the first time this year. Oklahoma's prime All-America halfback candidate, Clendon Thomas, pulled off the clutch touchdown run 8 yards that en abled the Sooners to tie, 13-13, and eventually to win on Carl Dodd's conversion, but to that point Stransky was the star per former. He dashed 40 yards with a pass interception for Colorado's first touchdown and hit a touch down pass for a 13-7 lead that almost, but not quite, made foot ball history. Forrestal Throws Four Navy's Forrestal, warming up for a shot at Notre Dame next week, played only 25 minutes against Pennsylvania but hurled four touchdown passes in that brief stint. Stanford's Douglas threw two touchdown passes and set up another score in a 20-6 victory over UCLA. Ramirez, who set up one touchdown with an interception, scored once on a plunge against Rice and added the gamebuster on an 80-yard kickoff return for a 19-14 up set. It was a week end loaded with superlative performances, in cluding multi-touchdown jobs by Johnny Maio of Boston U., Billy Austin of Rutgers, Danny Nolan of Lehigh, Charley Britt of Geor gia and Tom Greene of Holy Cross. Maio scored four times against Holy Cross while Greene hit three touchdown passes against Boston U. Austin scored four against Richmond while Nolan, hailed as one of the nation's best split-T generals though Lehigh is rated in the "minor" class, ac counted for two touchdowns by running an two more by passing against "major" Columbia. Scores One, Passes Two Britt scored one and passed for two more as Georgia wallop ed Kentucky. George Walters of Arkansas and Tommy Bronson of Tennes see were week end standouts and so was North Carolina State's heralded Dick Christy, who caught a pair of touchdown passes in a 14-14 tie with Duke. Dan Sachs of Princeton, a quickly-recovering flu victim, scored three in 18 minutes against Cornell and Army's Dave Bourland saved the Cadets from and upset by Virginia with two fourth-period touchdown passes. Linemen mentioned promi nently included: Ends Jimmy Phillips, Au burn; Les Walters,' Penn State; Buddy Payne, North ' Carolina; Bobby Marks, Texas A&M; Dan Pelham, Florida. Tackle Alex Karras, Iowa. Guards Bill Krisher, Okla homa; Joe Sabol, Penn State. Centers Don Stephenson, Georgia Tech; Jim Oddo, North Carolina State. Ellen Forslund Match Champion Portland (IP) Ellen Fors lund, Beaverton high school physical education instructor, Sunday captured the Oregon Women's match game bowling championship surpassing her nearest rival, defending titlist Janet Harman of Vancouver, Wash., by more than eight points. Miss Forslund finished with an average of 194 pins for her 24 tournament games, .and a point total of 111.15. Miss Har man ended with 103.02 and sec ond place.
