TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, December 20. 1S57 ifanford Decides 11 Pacific Coast C To Remain Deference San Francisco 'I? Stanford reaching back into the days of the famed Pop Warner reverse, sprang a dandy today by re maining in the Pacific Coast conference despite prior indica tions it would pull out. But just how much longer the Indians would remain a member of the crumbling PCC was any body's guess including Presi dent J. E. Wallace Sterling. "We're just going to stand by for a while and see what hap pens," Sterling told reporters on Thursday after announcing that Stanford would not join the rush for the exits. "We want to see just how successful other schools will be who are adopt ing new athletic policies." California. UCLA an3 South ern California all announced on Friday the 13th that they' were withdrawing from the confer ence and Dr. Henry Schmitz. president of Washington, said Jast Monday that a breakup of the PCC was the only solution to the "chaotic" PCC situation. The 42-year-old PCC began coming apart at the seams after UCLA, Southern California and Washington were heavily penal ized in 1956 for giving excessive aid to their football players. Sterling, who had voted down the line in favor of the penalties and against easing them, then announced on the evening of Dec. 13 that Stanford was op posed to a liberalized aid to ath letes program the conference was considering. This touched off speculation that the Indians were about to pull out. But after meeting with the trustees Thursday, Sterling de clared that the Tribe would stay in while giving the whole mat ter "a clean, fresh look." "Whether or not the confer ence survives, there is unfin ished business to be done, in the doing of which Stanford feels an obligation to participate," Sterling said. He listed contracts with the Big Ten and Tournament of Roses, administration of other sports than football, selecting of ficials for games, exchanging in formation regarding eligible stu dents "and the disposition of any balance that may be in the conference treasury," as reasons for his school staying on. Rebels' Programs Defeated The three rebels announced they were departing after the BRITISH AMATEUR London ilF The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. And rews, Scotland has announced that the format of the British Amateur championships will in clude for the first time 36-holes of qualifying competition. Under the new setup, the U.S. Golf Assn. would be allowed to name 10 players who would be exempt from qualifying, including the U. S. Amateur champ if he de cided to compete. conference had pretty well beat en down programs which the schools wanted the PCC to adopt. Among these were tighter scholastic requirements, a hall mark of Stanford's athletic pol icy. At the same time, the con ference made plans to draw up a liberalized athletic code which would include free board, books and room as well as tuition. This is definitely opposed by Sterling. The so-called "free ride" will come up for review in March and Sterling said by that time his school will decide what to do next. Southern California is seced ing, in the Trojans' words, "some time after June 30. 1958," and the Bears and Bruins after June 30 of the following year. Those are the dates that proba tionary periods end for the uni versities involved. Four other member schools have remained quiet since the Los Angeles trio got up to leave. They are Oregon, Oregon State, Washington State and Idaho. Medforim Tribune Erdelatz Plans Surprises For Rice in Cotton Bowl (Editor's note: This is the fifth of 10 dispatches on the football bowl teams. The dis patches will cover the teams in the Gator, Orange, Rose, Sugar and Cottons bowls.) By MALCOLM ALLEN United Press Sports Writer Annapolis, Md. 'IPs Rice and Cotton Bowl fans may see Navy flash an attack even smoother than the one it displayed during the regular football season. The reason? Coach Eddie Erde latz, a perfectionist, was so pleased with Navy's practices this week that he allowed the Middies to depart for their Christmas leave two days ahead of schedule. Erdelatz refused to s&y how he planned to conduct practice when his team assembles in Dallas, Dec. 26. He explained that his plans depended on the condition of his men after their holiday. "We plan to use both a run ning and passing game against Rice," Erdelatz said. "We'll have a few surprises for them, too." No Special Plans He added that he had made no special preparations to stop King Hill, Rice's big quarter back. But he admitted Rice's diversified attack, led by Hill, might be troublesome for his Middies. Hill calls plays from a bal anced or unbalanced line, a split or tight-T and also takes op tional use of the flanker. Erdelatz' own defense, direct ed by Quarterback Tom For restal, may provide some head aches for Rice. Erdelatz formerly was with the San Francisco Forty-Niners of the National Football league and his tactics include many used in the high-geared pro league. Show Up on Defense These "pro style" tactics show up particularly on defense. When or. defense, the Navy play ers seldom stay in one place very long. They bob around like pro players in an effort to con fuse their opponents. During the regular season, Navy won eight games and the Lambert Trophy as Eastern champion. The Middies lost to North Carolina, 13-7, and were tied by Duke. 6-6. Rice won seven games and the Southwest conference title. The Owls lost to Texas. 19-14: to Clemson, 20-7; and to Duke, 7-6. Neither Rice nor Navy ever has lost a bowl game. Rice has swept its four previous bowl contests while Navy has record ed a victory and a tie in its only ventures. Indian Decision Pleases Schmidt Los Angeles UP) Stanford's decision to stay in the sagging Pacific Coast Conference today pleased Victor O. Schmidt, whose resignation as PCC com missioner becomes effective next June. 'I am very pleased to hear the decision of Stanford University not to withdraw from the confer ence," Scmidt said Thursday after the story became public. "It is hoped that continuing efforts of the members who de sire to remain in the conference may bring realization of the im portance of the conference as an established vehicle for meeting many problems and administer ing many athletic functions in which all the members have a common interest." About 30 per cent of all U.S. trucks are in 115 large cities. Prep Scores THURSDAY BASKETBALL By United Press Clatskanie 71. Vernonia 47 David Douglas 59. Madison 54 Fort Vancouver 63. Gresham 46 Red Raiders Go Against LC Pioneers Ashland Southern Oregon college hoopmen this week end try their luck on the road for the first time this season. They left this morning for games to night and Saturday evening with Lewis and Clark in Portland. The tussles are expected to give the Raiders of the Rogue further indication of their chances in the Oregon Collegiate conference. Lewis and Clark, member of the Northwest con ference, has dropped two scuf fles by considerable margins to Portland State of the OCC. An indication of SOC pros pects for the week end series looms from last week end's games here with Linfield col lege. The Raiders divided with the Wildcats who earlier had scored a two-point nod over the L and C pioneers. There was speculation here that the club which shows the best in the rebounding depart ment will come out on top. Of fensively, Coch Ted Schopf has had his Raiders working on their outside shooting and work ing patterns against zone de fense. The Pioneers of Portland enter the series with a record of two victories and five losses while SOC has won three and dropped one. Lewis and Clark verdicts were Sacramento State and Seattle Pacific. While the Raider standing for the season looks better, the Pioneers, how ever, have the benefit of more games in which to get their ma chine clicking. A freshman from Sweet Home, Royce McDaniel, a non tourney all-stater last season, has been the big scoring gun of the Pioneers so far. He's a 5-10 guard. At forward as possible starters L and C has Roger Fleck, 6-5. and Bill Stemple, 6-1. Jon Dukesic, 6-4, may be at center and Bill Haller, 5-9 at the other guard. Starling for Southern Oregon may be Norm Oliva, Dave D'Olivo, Bill Hollingsworth, Jim McAbee and Ron Maurer. Others on the jaunt Chuck Crandall, Dave Love, Ted Tenney, John Foust and Cliff Sutherland. o- SC9 & jif jl Q 1 ROYAL DELUXE 5 TWIN-PACK Will deliver for CHRISTMAS O PORTABLE Ty pewriter LIL, I Balance 24 Payments I 5.00 Per Mo.

Christmas vacation began for Central's 1,990 students at the close of the school day Thurs day. Watchmen in the employ of the school district and city police will guard the building through out the holiday period.

Holiday Basketball Whirl Gets Underway By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer North Carolina places its 36 game winning streak on the line and 10 other nationally-ranked powers risk their ratings tonight to get the Christmas-week col lege basketball whirl off to a flying start. The top-ranked Tarheels, un beaten since their final game of the 1955-56 campaign, face Min nesota, the country's 16th-rated power, in the opener of the Ken tucky Invitational tournament.

Man 'Froze' in Ice For Rare Operation Twin Falls, Idaho (IP- Harry Brunson, 40, who faced early death or life as an invalid be cause of a "window" in the aorta artery near the heart, is back at work as a hotel manager here after a rare operation that required him to be "frozen" in a tank of ice prior to surgery. Surgeons at Colorado General hospital in Denver succeeded in sewing up the "window" in an operation that lasted six and a half hours. He was able to fly back to Twin Falls from Denver 12 days later and recently felt well enough to return to his job. His immersion in a tank of ice for several hours was neces sary, Brunson explained, to re duce his blood pressure and slow down his heartbeat. "There was no discomfort from being in the ice," he said. "I received a hypodermic injec tion before being placed in the tank." Swat Title Goes To Ted Chicago OP Ted Williams of the Red Sox added another title to his ever growing collec tion today when he was named the American league slugging champion for the ninth time in his career on the basis of his .731 percentage in 1957. Williams' mark was the high est in the major leagues in 16 years. The Boston slugger hit for 307 total bases in 420 official times at bat. He hit 38 homers, 28 doubles and one triple while compiling a .388 average that also won him the batting title for the fifth time. Mickey Mantle of the Yankees was runner-up to the 39-year-old Williams in slugging with a .665 average.
