Gain Respect
For Americans
New York (UJ Russia's
champion wrestlers said to
day they'll go home with
plenty of respect for United
States fans and for captain
Terry McCann of the Yank
team that they whipped four
times In as many tries.
McCann, former University
of Tulsa collegian, collected
the only three victories scored
by the U.S. team- He won a
unanimous decision over Vlad
imir Arscenyan Thursday
night when the Soviet team
ended its brief tour with a
6-1 victory. The other bout
ended in a draw before a
standing room crowd of more,

Athletic Club.
Bill Kerslake, 312-pound
national AAU heavyweight
champion from Cleveland,
Ohio, drew with 212-pound
Otar Kandelaki to end the pro
gram with some chuckles. The
crowd which included Mik

Crater to
Pass Rotary Meet
but Grants Pass, with a
wealth of talent back, is the
meet favorite. The Cavemen
were runners-up in 1957 while
Crater was third and Rose
burg fourth.
Meet Director Jess Loffer
reported that only a cham-
plate, he has two triples and
one home run. Sword and
King also have single home
runs to their credit.
Coach Ted Schopf has three
good pitchers in Dave D'Olivo,
Kermit McLemore and Jack
Brown. Relief help will come
from Dale Walters and Jim
Dietz. Schopf lost his top re
lief hurler earlier this week.
Jim Eggers sprained his an
kle and will be out for more
than a month.
Heavy hitting Maurer will
start at first base and Gordie
Thoreson gets the call at
third.
The keystone combination
has veteran Willie Jones at
shortstop and Dietz at second.
The Raiders have good infield
depth in Chuck Nevi and El
don Francis both of whom
are good glove men with Nevi
having an edge in hitting.
The outfield consists main
ly of Jim McAbee in left,
King in center, and Ron
Maurer in right of late.
Maurer split his finger and
has been alternating with
Francis in the outfield until
it heals.
Pinch hitting will come
from long ball hitting Ray
Weinhold and Al Kimura
ihe catching department is
headed by Sword with Ron
Maurer and McAbee alternat
ing when necessary.
The Raiders will face a club
which has not shown too
much in early season play.
The Owls lack pitching and
defensive qualities. However,
Oregon Tech has shown nice
hitting power on occasion.
Shortstop Charlie Ganter has
one home run to his credit
and a number of the Owls
have been giving the ball a
long ride.
To date the Raiders have
won four and lost three. Their
last win over Chico State was
aided by Larry Maurer's hom
er which ended Chico's win
ning streak at 11 for the sea
son.

pionship division is planned
this year. Last season a novice
division also was run in the
meet.
Shorter races in the meet
will be run in heats with each
runner to be timed individu
ally to determine winners.
The host school, Medford
and Crater each are expected
to have full squads in the
meet.
Hill On Sick Lisi
Coach Dean Benson of Med
ford said that he planned to
take 40 or more youths. He in
dicated that just about every
squad member has been doing
well in drill. However, Bruce
Hill, half-miler has been sick
and his availability for Sat
urday was questionable.
The three Rogue valley
schools in the meet are par
ticularly interested in the
chance to compare individual
performances with the idea of
determining their chances in
the district contest which de
termines state meet entries.

Best Half
In Division
University of Oregon, Eu
gene Washington State's sur
prising Cougars moved into a
tie with Oregon's top track
stars this week as each team
placed five leaders among the
top 1958 Northern division
performances while Washing
ton landed three and Idaho
and Oregon State each had
one.
This week end the Ducks
and the Cougars meet at Eu
gene in the top competition
of the conference schedule
while Washington faces Idaho
and Oregon State goes out of
the conference.
Five first place men, Don
Maw of WSC in the 220, Cliff
Cprdy of OSC in the 880, Dick
Rubsenser of the Cougars in
ihe javelin, Steve Frye of
WSC in the shot, and Spike
Arlt of WSC in the low
hurdles, either moved into the
leaders spot or improved their
old mark in the action last
week.
Arlt's mark in the high
hurdles stood up and this ac
counted for the five places
held by Washington State.
Oregon had Jim Grelle in the
mile, Gene Estes in the discus,
Jack Burg in the pole vault,
Ken Grant in the high jump
and Dave Edstrom .in the
broad jump while Washing
ton scored with Terry Tobacco
in the 440, Gary Mapes in the
100 and the Husky relay
team.
Another dozen second and
third place marks were either
improved or new men moved
in last week and another
major shuffle is apt to take
place at Hayward Field when
the Cougars and Ducks tangle
Saturday. Oregon carries a
25-meet winning streak into
the meet and has not been
beaten in the conference since
midway in the 1953 season.

Godih Opposes
Baker Tonight
Washington (IP) Lahou
rari (Larry) Godih, French
lightweight champion from
Algeria, risks a 19-bout win
ning streak tonight when he
makes his American debut at
Capital arena in a nationally
televised bout against welter
weight Larry Baker.
And Godih was frankly
hoping that this ring would
be as lucky for him as it was
for another African fighter
from the same "stable," world
featherweight champion Ho
gan (Kid) Bassey.
Bassey, a Nigerian, also
made his first American ap
pearance at Capitol arena last
April. The Kid, then British
Empire featherweight champ,
beat Miguel Berrios in a 12
rounder. Bassey and Godih both are
managed by Jersey Jones.
Tonight's bout was a late
fill-in for a scheduled match
between Alex Miteff of Ar
gentina and Willie Besmanoff
of Germany, both ranking
heavyweights. The fight was
called off early in the week
when Miteff developed a body
rash.

9-1 On PCI MassDe
By GENE BRYANT
United Press, Sports Writer
The newly-realigned Pa
cific Coast league, still
plagued by adverse weather,
neared the end of its first
week of completition today
with its three new clubs faring
rather poorly.
Spokane, Phoenix and Salt
Lake City, replacements for
Los Angeles, San Francisco
and Hollywood, in that order,
have been having trouble get
ting started off on the right
foot, either because of the
weather or the opposing team.
Vancouver handed Salt
Lake a double loss Thursday
night, winning the opener of
a twin bill, 7-2, and following
it up with a 10-9 victory in
the nightcap. The wins put
the Mounties in first place in
the standings with a 3-0 rec
ord while the Bees reigned
supreme at the other end of
the ladder with an 0-3 mark.
At Phoenix, the Giants suf
fered their second defeat at
the hands of San Diego, drop
ping a 6-4 decision to the
Padres. The loss put Phoenix
a step above Salt Lake.
Hurls Two-Hitter
Elmer Singleton pitched a
two-hitter at Portland to give
the Beavers a 9-1 victory over
Sacramento. It was the first
complete game for both clubs,
having been rained out the
previous two nights.
The Spokane-Seattle contest
was rained out, leaving both
teams with 1-1 records.
The same clubs will meet
each other again tonight,
weather permitting, with
doubleheaders on tap at Se
attle and Phoenix.

the remainder of the contest
and registered his first vic
tory. The Mounties scored five
runs in the seventh to break
a 2-2 tie and gain the victory.
In the second game, the
Mounties were forced to hold
on during the final innings
for the victory. Salt Lake pull
ed within one run of the win
ners with four runs in the
seventh and a pair in the
eighth. But reliever Mel Held
blanked the Bees in the ninth
to give starter Art Cecarelli
his first victory. Paul Pettit of
Salt Lake had the game's only
homer.
Giant Rally Falls Short
At Phoenix, the Padres left
11 Giant runners stranded
while gaining their second
victory. Bill Dailey, who
weakened in the ninth when
Bill Wilson smacked a homer
with one on, gained the vic
tory. The Padres had 12 hits
to the Giants' 11. Gordon
Jones took the loss. .
Sacramento could do noth
ing against Portland's Single

by George Freese's two home
runs and five runs-batted-in,
collected 10 hits off two Solon
hurlers for the victory.
In addition to the weather
