Challenging
Dodger Play
Los Angeles HP) Los Angeles
Dodger President Walter O'Mal
ley prepared today for an all-out
fight for the club's proposed
stadium site in Chavez ravine.
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.

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

In the meantime, Oregon's
Ducks figure to nail down their

as shy of wins. They have one
triumph and six losses.

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.
