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.

call yesterday that we had

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.

2-Man Affair
By UNITED PRESS
George Yardley of the De

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 '

Miss Churchill's representa
tive, Lillie Messinger, said
Thursday the auburn-haired,
green-eyed actress probably
would leave the United States

since the death of her hus
band," said the agent.
The actress was jailed on
drunk charges Jan. 14 and

after a court appearance in

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.

Portland, Me. (IP) The

cussed the peril posed by
women drivers.
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.

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'."
