SO Raider Outlook Bright Although Turnout Small Ashland With a week of practice behind them the Red Raiders of Southern Oregon college are beginning to look like a team that could go all the way to a second Ore gon Collegiate conference grid title, according to head coach Al Akins. Akins feels the small turn out in cadidates for the 22 po sitions has addowed him to go into more detail and special ized training than would oth erwise be possible if he had a larger squad. Only 31 players have been turning out for the two-a-day practices and surprisingly enough only one injury has been reported. Larry Crans ton, freshman from Medford, slightly sprained an ankle and is being forced to light workouts each day for about a week. Last year's starting quar terback, Lance Locke, has been especially sharp in his passing and faking and the Haider coaches agreed that iU. WASH THE DISMES EVIRY NI6HT...NCVCRGOOUr WITH THE BOVS...

Main last Wednesday scrimmage was the best they had seen for the men of SOC this early l npractice sessions Del Brood and Eldon Fran cis have been showing some speed from trie halfback slots along with Larry Maurer and newcomeh. Dave Wilbur. Offense was not holding all the limelight but sharing it with the defense while stal warts Dick Smith and Marion Jack busted up plays left and right during Friday's scrim mages. Thus far in practice, the Raiders have been splitting their plays between running and passing with Locke hit ting on a number of occas ions for good gains. The Raiders have only five days of practice before the first game on September 20 at 8 p.m. in Ashland against the visiting airmen from Mof fett Air Base. To date no definite start ers have been named and Akins-has said that he may have to go clear up to game time before he' names his de fensive and offensive units. Oregon Collegiate confer ence action for the men of SOC opens in four weeks, on Oct. 11, against Portland State on the Raider gridiron. Machen To Try For Early Stop Gothenburg, Sweden -(EH) Eddie Machen of Redding, Calif., is expected to try for an early knockout when he meets Sweden's unbeaten In- gemar Johansson today in their battle of world heavy weight contenders. Machen is rated a 2-1 fa vorite but European observ ers believe Johansson can outpoint the hardhitting Am erican if the rugged Swede survives the first four rounds. U. of W. Scrimmages Seattle, Wash. - (LTD - The University of Washington went through a lengthy closed-gate scrimmage Saturday as head Coach Jim Owens scanned his sophomore ladden ranks for possible starters in next Saturday's season-opening encounter with San Jose State here. The three-way battle for the first string quarterback ing job was still in evidence as Bob Hivner, who called the shots for the first team Saturday, Phil Borders and Bob Schloredt all impressed Owens with their running and passing. . Mt. Shasta Fights Back To Nudge Phoenix, 14-13 McDougald's Homer Helps Yanks to Win Over White Sox, 5-4; and Possible Tie By United Press International Gil McDougald, suffering through one of his worst sea sons, assured the New York Yankees at least a tie for the American league pennant Sat urday when he hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning that sunk the Chicago White Sox, 5-4. McDougald's homer, struck off loser Early Wynn, over came a 4-2 Chicago lead and reduced the Yankees' pennant clinching -"magic number to one. That means they can wrap up their ninth pennant in the last 10 years by winning one game in a double-header with Kasas City today. One loss by the White Sox in a twin-bill against Washington will have the same effect. Little Bobby Shantz started for the Yankees and went un til the seventh inning when Murray Dickson came on and received credit for his 10th victory. Cal McLish. of Cleveland turned in his 15th victory of the year when he beat Boston 4-1, with' a seven-hit effort. The only run McLish gave up was a fourth-inning homer by Don Buddin. The Indians broke a 1-1 tie with three Medfortv,Tribunb GOLFER WINS SECOND AMATEUR TOURNEY Phoenix A heifter, more aggressive Mt. Shasta, Calif., football contingent, trailing by two touchdowns at half- time, fought back to nose out Phoenix high 14 to 13 here Friday evening. ' Turning point came in the third period when Mt.

In the fourth canto Ed Heile packed the ball eight yards for a TD, winding up a march down the gridiron, Swan gathered in a pass from McHugh for the victory point. Started Strong Phoenix started strong and Leon Small drew first blood for the Pirates with a seven yard off-tackle dash, conclud ing a series of short gains. Dan Lumley reached the pay zone for Phoenix in the sec ond quarter on another off- tackle charge which took him 27 yards. Jack Rinn booted to convert. .Mt. Shasta took quick ad vantage of gaps in the center of the Phoenix line in the sec ond half. Lack of sufficient conditioning and reserves and the heavier weight of the Cal ifornians told on the Oregon host in the second half. Phoenix on the strength of 141 net yards in the first half, led in total game net 186 to 96. Mt. Shasta claimed a nine to eight advantage in . first downs. The Californians gros sed 105 yards from scrimmage in the second half but last 45 for a net of 60 while Phoenix netted 45. The Pirates will play at Brookings next Friday.

SP 2-5271 248 East McAndrews Road By HAL WOOD United Press International San Francisco -(UPJ- Imper turable Charley Coe, a scram bler all week but cool cus tomer when the chips were down, won his "second Nation al Amateur Golf champion ship Saturday as he crushed upstart Tommy Aaron of Gainesville, Ga., 5-4, in the finals of the national tourna ment. Calm, and often cautious, when his erratic long tee and iron shots got him in trouble, Coe watched the 21-year-old University of Florida student fire his best shots-and then fall back. ' Two up after 18 holes Sat urday morning, Coe three putted the 19th green and saw Len Mathews Decisions Tibbs Philadelphia -flJPD-Unbeat-en Len Matthews, fighting only 10 months and owner of a 14-bout winning streak aft er his unanimous triumph over Tommy Tibbs, said he hopes to be . lightweight champion in another 10 months. While Matthews made his national television debut suc cessfully against the stubby Tibbs at the Arena Friday night, many of his followers were disappointed because he failed to make the Boston strong boy bis 13th kayo victim. Matthews staggered Tibbs in the fourth, fifth and ninth rounds but never was able to floor him. - Judge Bill Hall scored it 50-37 for Matthews under Pennesylvania's five -point system while Judge Jim Weston carded it 49-43. Ref eree Pete Tomasco favored Matthews, 49-42. United Press International gave the bout to Matthews, 50-40. Solo Record Pilot Issues Challenge Pendleton (DPD Marion (Pat) Boling, holder of the world's solo distance record for a single-engined plane said here Friday that he is ready to challenge anyone to break his record of 6,980 miles set Aug. 1. The 32-year-old airline pi lot, here as a guest of honor for the 47th annual Pendle ton roundup, said that sever al attempts to crack his rec ord have failed "because they are hastily put together ef forts." "I'm still getting over my trip-a month later," Boling said. "And anybody who says it doesn't take something out of you is wrong. It does." Boling flew a single-engined Beechcraft from Manila to Pendleton to break a world mark set in 1949 by the late Bill Odom. his advantage dwindle to one- up. He won the 20th, lost the 21st when he hit a trap. "But I wasn't worried," he said. "I knew my game had returned. For 11 holes Satur day morning I was all over the lot. But on the 12th hole I started hitting straight and my shots were true. Note that I was one under par for six holes on the middle part of the afternoon round." This type of golf may have missed out against Aaron Fn day when the Southeastern champion shot a three-under- par 67. But Saturday the pres sure told. Tough Tommy was In trouble all day long. Even on the practice tee before play started, the personable South eastern amateuer champion, was hooking his shots a sure sign that he was feeling the tension that come with cham pionship competition. And when he took to the course it was the same way. "But I was okay going into the 22nd hole only one down," he said. "Then every thing went wrong." That's where Coe won five consecutive holes, one with a birdie, four with pars, .to ice the match as he drew 6-up. For Coe the victory was another milestone in a great amateur golfing career. Now 34 years old, the wealthy shot maker first hit the big head lines in 1949 when he won his first National' crown by trouncing Rufus King of Wichita Falls, Tex., 11-10 In the finals. That was just 10 years and nine days ago to this day. Aaron had been two-under-par for his nine rounds earli er in the tournament. But Sat urday he was anything but a ball of fire. He was six over Saturday morning and four over for the 14 holes in the afternoon. League Leaders (As of Friday) United Press International NATIONAL LEAGUE Player & Club G AB R. H.
