TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE - 1 FLOWERING BOOM with right hand, Spider Webb drops Rory Calhoun for second and "last time in fourth round of fight at San Francisco's Cow Palace. Referee Jack Downey, who is pulling Webb away, didn't even bother to toll final count. (International) Fanfare . - Naming of the new advis--ory parks and recreational committee by Mayor John rSnider and city councilman ijs a step in the right direc tion toward an organized city -4-ecreation program which re've long wanted to see in f Medford. It has been recog .nized that the widest awake, liveliest and most civic-spirited municipalities are those "J with community - sponsored "recreational activities, partic- "ularly through the summer . months, and with sports fa cilities which encourage ath letic competitions blessed by city administration not neces- " sarily backed by civic fi- 1 nances. - -. Medford has had some sum inertime recreational activi ties under sponsorship of vari- i . ous agencies aim giuus uui r.ll.. . n J .-1 ri-,- ordinated program under city " paid supervision. Such direc " tion, as we see it, is essential .-4o a well - organized program 'which accomplishes its pur ', pose. course the committee will ad '? vise and the council will fol low but its certain to be a constructive one and an im provement over the present vifnot inn oc well 9. marking -jviecuora as a progressive cuy. mHEATER TV AGAIN " There's every reason to believe that Medford will have theater television of . the return middleweight ; title boxing match between ! Carmen Basilio and Sugar ' Ray Robinson on March 25, according to Robert Corbin. manager her for Oregon ,. California theaters. He has : had no word yet, however, '"from the TelePrompTer firm which will handle the video showings. Theater TV 'r-- of ihe previous Basilio-Rob-lnson battle proved huge success last September at the Craterian. '-SEEK REVIVAL Bill Askwith, business man -r-nger of the Medford Cheney "iStuds, has indicated that his jrclub is withdrawing from the XlRogue Valley Baseball league Tand seeking formation or re vival of another and faster circuit. Coquille and Drain are reoorted interested in .izlorming a loop which could 'iagain bear the title of South- j T2rn Oregon league, which 3, as suspended after the 1956 Season. Steps were being -4"aken to encourage formation ;ef a Roseburg club. It's far too early to tell what the re--tnultg will be. "TT Last year, in their only treason in the circuit, the Studs swept through the RVL yndefeated. They had a few close encounters but gener ally outclassed the rest of the league. While the Cheney or r ganization is exerting effort '1o establish a tougher slate, Jhe rest of the RVL member ship is not unhappy to see "llhem go. At least a couple TTcIubs, who had been used to lT.dominating the loop, appear-I-'ed rather resentful when it ' became evident that the Med- ford club would be top dog. The Studs are not contem ..rplating a farm team such as """"the Colts they sponsored in J958 in the RVL. But we still Z-ieel there should be a Medford team in the circuit and suggest that some of the local players, who won't be com ' "peting tor the Studs, look into the matter. MANY HONORS Howard Morris, ex-Crat-er high athlete, who won Little All-America laurels in football last fall at Lin field college, reportedly re- ceived more honors in 30 j had gained in the history By DICK JEWETT Mail Tribune Sporti Editor of the McMinnville school. Morris was recipient of 11 awards, citations and hon ors. His jersey (No. 43) was retired along with that of Vic Fox, a fellow guard, who won Little Ail-American recognition in 1956. WOOTEN TO ST. PAUL Derald Wooten, who made a comeback ' in professional baseball last summer with the Macon Dodgers of the Sally league, is planning to return to action for the 1958 season and is scheduled to report this spring at Vero Beach, Fla., to the St. Paul, Minn., team of the Los Angeles Dodgers chain in the Class AAA Am-j erican association. Record of the Medfordite, who made a late start with the Georgia nine last spring, was 4 wins and 11 losses. Wooten said he felt quite happy with this mark, con sidering that Macon was the cellar club in the circuit. The team just didn't produce the runs to back up pitching per formances. Giving approxi mate figures, Wooten report ed that he appeared in 28 games and played 147 innings. Wooten signed a bonus con tract with the Dodgers in 1952 after finishing Medford high school. He was with Great Falls, Mont., in the Pioneer league, Shawnee, Okla., in the Sooner State loop and Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in the Three I league, before dropping out of pro play in 1955. He returned to the Med ford Cheney Studs and in 1956 Was the outstanding player of the semi-pro South ern Oregon league. During this off-season he has been working for Con solidated Freightways and Rogue River orchards and playing basketball for Myron Root company. OTHER LADIES Fred Spiegelberg, Mid ford high football coach, drew chuckles from the crowd at the Medford Lions club football banquet Wed nesday night when he inno cently stated, "We have some more ladies here other than our wives." Speaking for the coaching staff, he was referring to the rally squad. HEDRICK WON IT Apologies to the Hedrick Junior high seventh basket ball squad. We didn't realize until we received a telephone call yesterday that we had credited their Tuesday tri umph over Grants Pass to the Hornets' major rival on the West side of the city. The mis cue can be attributed to haste under pressure of a deadline. Coach Dale Bates of Hedrick seventh phoned us the even ing after the game but we waited to write until we had the info on four other junior high games, a couple of which were reported rather close to the sports page dead line. Reception Held For UO Gridders Portland 0P Oregon's great Rose Bowl showing against Ohio State was relived here again Thursday night as some 1500 persons turned out at the Masonic temple to hon or the Webfoots. Forty-one members of the team and the coaching staff were present. The players were given commemoratory plaques by the Chamber of Commerce. Casanova was given a spe cial award as "Coach of the Universe " He described the occasion as being "a lot more fun than being hung in ef Friday January 24, 1958 Foxx Hired By Millers . Boston (IP) Jimmie Foxx, one of baseball's greatest hitters, was back in the sport he loved today, his financial future apparently assured. The famed "Double-X" who played every position but sec ond base during a slugging 20-year career in the majors, was named a coach of the Boston Red Sox' top farm club, the triple-A Minneapolis Millers of the American asso ciation. In addition, Foxx revealed he was considering collabo rating on a book about his diamond career, that negotia tions were underway for a television film of his life and a speaking tour. Foxx, who earned $270,000 as a slugger, was reported jobless and nearly broke just a week ago. Shepard Keeps Lead in Scoring New York OPI Bob Shep ard of Clarkson remained in first place today in the small college basketball scoring race, but he faced a new chal lenger in Teddy Wright of South Carolina college. Shepard had 221 points in eight games for an average of 27.6 points per game, while Joe Gaetano of Quinnipiac was second with a 27.1-poinf average. However, Wright moved from 13th to third place dur ing the past week. He has scored 98 points in his last three games to raise his aver age to 26.6. In the other individual races, Bob Linnenberger of Regis replaced Norm Lefko- witz of LIU in field goal ac curacy with a mark of .634; Arnold &mitn ot Allen was the free throw leader with a .945 record, while Marv Becker of Penn Military was tops in rebounds with 25.7 per game. Pro Point Race 2-Man Affair By UNITED PRESS George Yardley of the De troit Pistons and Adolph Schayes of the Syracuse Na tions, the National Basketball associations' two top scorers this season, pulled away from the field today and made the scoring race a virtual two man affair. Yardley, who led Schayes by 100 points before this week's action, canned 44 points in a losing cause Thurs day night to boost his season point total to 1,259. Schayes, xne jJ3A s all-time scoring leader, poured in 35 points to l-ad the Nats to a 101-88 win over the Philadelphia Warriors and boost his season total to 1,172. Bob Pettit of the St. Louis Hawks, hobbled by an injured I hand and idle since Sunday, j is a distant third with 1,049. i Despite Yardley's perform-! ance, the Pistons dropped an j overtime 128-125 decision to the Minneapolis Lakers. !

Majors Bidding For Nicholson St. Louis (IP) Fifteen ma jor league teams continued a bidding contest today for the services or Dave JNicnoison, an 18-year-old outfielder with the same broad shoulders as Mickey Mantle. By Saturday the last of the clubs will have made their pitch, and Sunday young Nicholson is due to make up his mind on a bonus contract that may call for a sum in excess of 5100,000. "I don't know where this 5100,000 rumor got started," Dave said, but then Mrs. Nicholson admitted that none of the teams had bid as low as $50,000. Detroit is the only major league team that hasn't con tacted Nicholson. But the Ti gers may yet as the telephone and the, door bell of the Nicholson's modest frame home have been ringing steadily since 8 p.m. Wednes day. TO RETAIN FOOTBALL ' Long view, Wash.

SP 2-4756 New York Taxcab Drivers Listed Among Heavy Thinking Philosophers By DOC QUIGO United Press Correspondent New York (IF) Some of j the heaviest thinking phil-j osophers to be found anv" I where are those who drive New York taxicabs. They will expound on any subject, and often quite eloquently, with out extra charge on the meter or extra favor in the tip. Thus it was that this rider sought an answer, from this usually reliable source, on one of the troubling problems emerging in the post-Sputnik heavens. The conversation oc curred while riding crosstown in" Manhattan. First we dis Medical School Faculty Members Speak at Academy Dr. Russell Youngberg and Charles Thomas, members of the faculty of the College of Medical Evangelists School of Physical Therapy, Loma Linda, Calif., presented a pro gram at Rogue River Acad emy Tuesday, designed to ac quaint students with the col lege's physical therapy train ing program. The college, owned and operated by the Seventh-day Adventist church includes a school of medicine, school of dentistry, school of tropical medicine, and school of nurs ing, as well as the physical therapy school, and combines medical and spiritual training in its curriculum. With the role of nhvsiral therapy in the rehabilitation of both medical and surgical patients becoming increasing ly recognized throughout the United States, Dr. Youngberg said there are many openings for young oeoDle in this field. He told students that the College of Medical Evan gelists is placing renewed emphasis on its physical ther apy department. In referring to missionary opportunities Dr. Youngberg stated that he had re ived a letter from the country of Iran a week ago informing him that all medical doctors had been ordered to leave the country, but that the work of physical therapists was en couraged. The Rogue River Academy program was a part of a 19, 000 mile tour on which Dr. Youngberg and Mr. Thomas will visit Seventh-day Advent ist academies, colleges and nursing school throughout the United States to encour age young people to consider physical therapy as a profes sion. Miss Jewelle Thompson, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Ber nard Thompson, 26 Crater Lake ave., is a student at the southern California school. IN A NUTSHELL Portland, Me. (IP) The Oransky family sent its Christ man greetings last year inside walnut shells mailed in little white boxes.

The driver, whose name according to his identifica tion placard was Louie, out- lined a plan for solving the problem by putting lady driv ers in Sputniks and sending them out of this world. "By the way, I see in the paper that they are talking about putting outer space under international control what do you think about that?" I asked. What Control? "Control? What kind of control?" said Louie. "What they want to do, put a fence around it to keep it from ex panding? Control the stars in their courses? What a laugh. We ain't even out there yet." . "As I get it," I said, "they are concerned about the legal problems out there. And about controlling outer space for peaceful uses." "You know what I think?" said Louie, squirming around to face me and disregarding traffic. "I think we ought to first solve the problem of controlling inner space." "Inner space? What's that?" "The space between our ears," said Louie. He turned forward again. "You know what I mean?" he continued. "I mean like this morning I was reading about a speech made by the head of this meteorite mu seum. He said that nobody has studied these shooting star meteors enough so that one of them couldn't be mis taken for an enemy missile, fireballing along, and right away touch off an atom war that would wipe . out every body. That's what I call a real danger from outer space, hit ting the panic button of inner space." The Questions "You got something there," I said, "anyhow, the interna tional experts and lawyers are discussing legal boun daries up there, and discovery rights, and asking things like 'Legally, how high is the sky?' 'Who owns the moon?' Explosive Mixture Sold as Fuel Oil Chicago (IP) Firemen today sought about 200 gal lons of a potentially explosive mixture of gasoline and Kero sene still in the hands of resi dents of a southwest side slum area. Authorities continued a house-to-house search for the defective fuel oil to avert a possible explosion. About 1,100 gallons of the fuel, ac cidentally sold as kerosene, has been returned to the oil station that sold it. A spokesman for the Mar tin Oil Co. said the fuel prob ably could be used without trouble in a constantly burn ing space heater, but would be dangerous if used to light a cold cooking stove or cold space heater. The mistake was discover ed Wednesday night. Au thorities said a truck driver dumped a load of high oc tane gasoline into a tank used to store kerosene. The mix ture then was sold to cash-and-carry customers in 5 and 10-gallon lots. Equipment CONCRETE C? 248 E.Mc AN DREWS RD. and even 'Who owns the uni verse?' " "Who owns the universe?" declared Louie, taking his hands from the wheel and waving them . like a stump speaker. "There he stands: Man by the grace of his own gall, king of earth, moon, and the dominions beyond . the skies. And maybe yet too big for his britches." "Also," I said, "the scien tists are debating about the relationship of time and space and some are saying if you made a quick trip of 10 years or so to Mars, or someplace, you wouldn't be nearly as old when you got back as you would be if you stayed here. There's even talk that if you traveled faster than the speed of light the biological pro cess might be reversed and you'd get younger instead of older. "That's for me," said Louie, "cab driver of a space ve hicle, reverting toward baby hood. And if a passenger couldn't decide right away where he wanted to go, I'd tell him: "Come on, come on, I ain't getting any older, you know'."
