The club's right to the land was challenged Thursday when op ponents of an agreement be tween the city and the Dodgers filed a referendum petition with the city clerk to put the issue up for public vote at a muni cipal election. O'Malley greeted the news of the referendum with a curt state men that the club would "meet this challenge" and he was ready to fight, for the proposed site. The p'etition was presented at the clerk's office Thursday by C. A. Owen, chairman of a group which calls itself "The Commit tee to Preserve Chavez Ravine for Public Use." Owen said the petition had more than 85,000 signatures. The city clerk has 30 days to check the signatures. If the peti tions contain 51,74 valid names of registered voters, the city council will be forced to place the issue before the public in an election. The council has the authority to call a special election or wait ' and include the issue on a gen- eral election ballot next spring, j In a statement issued through I his assistant, Arthur Red Pat I terson, O'Malley said: 'A referendum is a democratic political process. Baseball is a democratic institution. While we would prefer to keep baseball out of politics and politics out of baseball, we will have to meet this challenge. Judge Refuses Plea From Caryl Chessman Los Angeles (IP) A superior judge has refused convict author Caryl Chessman's plea for a court order to force the warden of San Quentin prison to release Chessman's latest book for pub lication. Judge Frank G. Swain denied the petition Thursday on the grounds that Chessman should obtain possession of the manu script from Superior Judge Her bert V. Walker. American Civil Liberties Union Attorney A. L. Wirin, act ing on Chessman's behalf, had filed petition for a writ of ha beas corpus to compel Warden Fred R. Dickson to release the manuscript of the book "The The novel is one of several books Chessman wrote in prison j while in death row appealing his j death sentence on kidnap-rape j charges.

Coach Al Akins' Red Raiders will carry a record of six wins one loss and one tie into the Humboldt fray. Ron Maurer, line-smashing Red Raider fullback, is again ex pected to lead the SOC ground attack. Maurer raced for two touchdowns against the Seattle Ramblers, one a 55-yard pass in terception run to give the Raid ers the margin of victory. Freshman halfback, Lee Mc Gill, made his bid for starting honors for the SOC club in their final game by running against the Ramblers for a total of 102 yards, scoring a touchdown on a 41-yard sprint. Hoping to avenge a 33 to 6 loss to the Humboldt State Lum berjacks last season the Red Raiders have been drilling hard for the final game. Stressing de fensive play, the squad moved in out of the Southern Oregon liq uid sunshine Wednesday to run drills in the gym, but were out side for their drill.

Medford, Oregon Phone SP 2-4011 Fanfare Yesterday this column took occasion to print some edi torial comment. It prompted a letter to the sports depart ment from Carl S. Landis, Medford photographer and ardent supporter of the local high school athletic teams. Said Landis: "The editorial comments from the editor Kenneth Hicks of the Grants Pass Courier were very enjoyable, but controversial. "As he mentioned, football is only a game, and, this one is over and decided, at least for the record. But, in mentioning the long punt return made by Johnny Jones, he called long punt returns as luck. Person ally, I don't believe this is the case, as I'm sure that Jones really meant to get the ball all the way to the end zone, and the run therefore could not be called accidental. As for rugged play the downfield blocking on that return wasn't a tea party. Ask any of the boys that threw those blocks. "Perhaps Mr. Hicks should be told this story: In 1925 when Cornell played Dartmouth, the forward pass had just come into its own. The Cornell team ran the ball all afternoon while the Dartmouth team passed. The final score was Dartmouth 62, Cornel 13. On leaving the field, the Cornell coach, Gil Dobie, said, 'Well, we won, 13 to 0.' The sports writer, Granny Rice asked, 'What about Dartmouth's 62 points?' Dobie countered, T don't count those scores made by passing, that isn't football.' "Well, we don't want to elimi nate passing in football, because it gives the game a wide open aspect, but, maybe some of the Medford fans should take that attitude. To Mr. Hicks we do want to say that the Grants Pass team has one of the best pass ing combinations we have seen Douglas Key In Indian's Last Chance San Francisco (IP) Stanford's last chance to rate a bid to the Rose Bowl will hinge on the passing arm tomorrow of quar terback Jack Douglas as the In dians play favored Oregon State at Corvallis. In the meantime, Oregon's Ducks figure to nail down their first Pasadena trip in 37 years and they only have to knock off weak Southern California to do it. The Trojans, ripped apart by conference penalties, are devoid of seniors this year and almost as shy of wins. They have one triumph and six losses. UCLA, rolling along with a 6-2 mark despite similar penal ties, goes to Stockton to play underdog College of Pacific. The Tigers' best attack is Tom Flores passes and end Dick Wal len of the Bruins is a mast at breaking up ball games with in terceptions. Cal Versus Washington California, with one triumph in eight games, hosts an erratic Washington team which has up set two of the strongest teams in the PCC Oregon and Oregon State. Idaho and Washington State tangle in their traditional at Pullman, where the Vandals will seek to close out a surpris ingly good year by upsetting the Cougars. Washington State was a Rose Bowl contender for a while but faded. San Jose State is at Fresno State in another time-honored hassle while San Francisco State and Chico State will settle the battle for the Far Western con ference crown on the latter's gridiron. By DICK JEWETT Mail Tribune Sports Editor In high school ball, but, the decision is made and Medford now goes into the play-offs. I know Mr. Hicks wishes them well, as we all do, and I feel sure they will give a good ac count of themselves and South ern Oregon. "The mark of a champion is the ability to come back when defeat stares it in the face." NO FLUKE This department this morn ing heard of a letter written by a Glendale resident charg ing that Jones' punt return for a touchdown against Grants Pass was a "fluke." It should suffice to say that "punt re turns" are a part of the game on which Tornado players drill, drill, drill. Long run backs by Medford teams are in no way unusual and its always dangerous to punl or kick-off to the Tornado. Off hand we recall punt runbacks of 46 yards by Gerry Lyons and 55 yards by Ron Reich and a kick-off return of 72 yards by Dick Durante this fall to set up touchdowns.
