t 6 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Monday, November 10, 1958 Southern Oregon Opposes Fliers In Ms Day Game Here Tuesday Raider Win Will Make Alcins Walk Coach Al Akins of the Southern Oregon college foot ball team has agreed to walk back to Ashland from Med ford on Tuesday if the Red Raiders of the Rogue defeat the Fliers of Moffet Naval Air Station. And, Akins felt today that he will have to hoof it. He said that the Raiders were fired up and intent on making the coach return to the SOC campus on foot. Southern Oregon and Mof fett vie at the Medford sta dium on Tuesday at 2 p.m. It will be one of the attractions of the Veterans Day holiday here. The Raiders, a team made up mainly of , players from the southern area of the state including a number of former prep stars from the Rogue val ley, will have their first action in two years in the Pear city It wilJ also be their final ap pearance of the season on val ley turf. Eager To Even Moffett dumped the Raid ers 40 to 25 in the collegians season starter. SOC is eager to make up for the loss and the Raiders figure that their improvement since the first game can carry them through. The Fliers, one of the top service teams on the West Coast this fall, come to Med ford after absorbing a 53 to 12 licking at the hands of Oregon Tech at Klamath Falls on Saturday. Since Ore. Tech clipped SOC 40 to 0 a short time back, the game last Sat urday would indicate on the surface a good chance for the Raiders. However, Moffett at Klam ath Falls, lost two key. players by injury. These were Calvin Campbell, one of the outstand ing halfbacks playing service ball in this country, and Dick Olivas, a quarterback who generals the Fliers well and is a fine passer and an adept ball handler. Both are expect ed to be ready for the hassle with the Ashland school. Possible Starters Possible starters for Moffett are John Mullen and C. B. Taylor, ends; James Jones and Paul Daugherty, tackles; Er nest Carr and Dick Lowry, guards; Bob Baird, center; Olivas, quarterback; Camp bell, left halfback; Harvey Young, right halfback, and Ed White, fullback. Akins feels that the SOC club is playing a lot better ball than several games ago. This may not have appeared so from the Eastern game last week end. The Raider mentor pointed out, nevertheless, that he played his second crew half the game and that it was breaks that enabled the Mounties to get touchdowns. An adjustment in offense has helped the Raider gang. They are using a wing T which is T formation with single wing blocking. Tentative starters for South ern Oregon on Tuesday are Larry Yarnell and Jim Mc Abee, ends; Al Sodaro and Bud Brittsan, tackles; Jim Tacchini and Troy Bellah, guards; Phil Sword, center; Lance Locke, quarterback; Del Brood and Laval Meunier, halfbacks, and Larry Maurer, fullback. 24 Perfect Mark Clubs New York - (UPD - The col lege football season heads into its final weeks with only 24 teams, major and minor, still boasting unbeaten and un tied records.

Albert's statement came aft er the Rams defeated the Forty-Niners, 56-7," in the worst beating ever suffered by the San Francisco club from its California rival. "They're the best club 'we have played all year and they have got a chance to win it all," Albert said. "I told Sid Gilman we'd try to beat Bal timore to help the Rams along." One At a Time Gillman, happier than he has been in a long" time, re fused to look beyond next Sunday's Green Bay game and warned his players if they started dreaming of possible championship aspirations they would get 'clobbered.' A crowd of 95,082 in Me morial coliseum saw the Rams score on their second offen sive play and then easily draw away. Gillman paid tribute to his defensive unit for what he termed "a great perform ance." "While our defense has been real good all year, our boys outplayed their best pre vious effort this time," Gill man said. "San Francisco had what I considered the best five-man end combination in pro football." Although he lavished praise on all his players, Gill man had added words for de- Fate of Sceptre To Be Decided London-(UPD-The fate of the Sceptre, Britain's thoroughly beaten challenger in this year's American Cup yacht races, will be decided this week at a meeting of the Royal Yacht squadron. One London newspaper re ported Sunday that the $196, 000 yacht will be scrapped as "a total loss." "It would not be practical to modify her hull," Peter Nicholson, head of the firm that built Sceptre, told the Sunday Dispatch. "If no one wants Sceptre, as she is, the logical thing would be to pull her to pieces and use the lead and spars ... to build a new challenger." The Sceptre was hailed in some British quarters as a "white elephant of the high seas" following her defeat by the American yacht, Colum bia, in four straight races in September. President Zacharv Tavlor's grandfather and President James Madison's grandmother were brother and sister. ffiu Smith, above, is regarded as defensive football player.

For the Forty-Niners Joe (The Jet) Perry, was the only back able to mount a run ning threat against the Rams and he scored their only touchdown on a screen pass good for 63 yards. The Forty-Niners opened with John Brodie at quarter back but he had such poor success in the first quarter when the Rams ran up three touchdowns that Y. A. Tittle replaced him and played most of the game. Aside from en gineering the one . scoring drive of 93 yards, Tittle also had the Ram defenders brea thing down his neck all day.

That's the NFL situation to day with five weeks remain ing, and Coach Jim Lee How ell's Giants are the team the other top clubs are cheering and cursing. The Giants, two games behind Cleveland two weeks ago, have put both di vision titles up for grabs with dramatic triumps over pre viously unbeaten teams. The Giants shattered Cleve land's five - game victory streak Nov. 2 and Sunday they upset the Baltimore Colts only team to reach the half way mark in the campaign with a perfect record, 24-21. New York's victory before 71,163 at Yankee stadium, the largest crowd ever to see a pro football game in the big city, enabled the Giants to tie the Browns both (5-2) for first in the Eastern division. It also cut the Baltimore (6-1) margin over the Chicago Bears (5-2) to one game in the 'Western race. Pat SummeralFs 28-yard field goal with 2:40 to go pro vided New York's victory margin after Sam Huff of the Giants stole one of George Shaw's passes. Lions Upset Browns The Detroit Lions gave New York a vital assist by upset ting the Browns before 75,563 at Cleveland, 30-10. The Bears took advantage of New York's triumph by whipping the Green Bay Packers, 24-10. The Rams crushed the San Francisco Forty-Niners, 56-7; before 95,082 at Los Angeles; Bobby Layne's four touch down passes sparked the Pitts burgh Steelers to a 31-24 vic tory over the Eagles at Phi adelphia, and Eddie Lebaron five touchdown passes paced the Redskins to a 45-31 vic tory over the Chicago Cardin als at Washington. Sunday's action produced an NFL six-game attendance high of 342,734, bettering the record of 295,000 set last week. Shaw, playing quarterback in place of the injured John Unitas, threw touchdown pass es to Lenny Moore and Ray Berry to give the Colts a 14-7 halftime lead. But Charley Conerly, 38-year-old quarterback hero of New York's second half rally at Cleveland, made it 14-all with a 25-yard pass to Kyle Rote. Conerly then directed a 57-yard march and ran inter ference as Frank Gifford swept 13 yards around end to give the Giants a 21-24 third period lead.

Cleveland now is 0-4 in regular season play against Detroit, the only club it does not lead in the won-lost rec ords. Outfox Clever Browns The Lions outfoxed the us ually clever Browns several times during a 59-14 spree in the 1957 title game and did it again Sunday when Cassa day booted a short onside kickoff and Detroit's Dave Skitsell recovered on the Cleveland 46. The Lion's had only a 6-3 lead at the time and seven plays later Rote passed to Gibbons, whom the Lions ' obtained from the Browns this year, for the key touchdown.

Card Skipper Rates Japanese Ball Clubs High Tokyo -(UPD Manager Solly Hemus of the St. Louis Car dinals thinks that Japanese professional ball teams are good enough to play in Amer ican "Triple A" leagues. Hemus' estimate was made during a lull in the Redbirds exhibitions with the Japanese All Stars. The major leaguers have posted nine wins and two losses thus far. Walt Alston, manager of : the Brooklyn Dodgers, who won 14 games and lost four in 1956 on a Japanese tour, was a bit more enthusiastic about Japanese ball players. Alston said he rated the all-1 Japan teams that the Dodgers played "a little better than American triple A teams." But Hemus has gone a bit farther than Alston by stat ing that in $65,000 bonus play er Shigeo Nagashima of the Yomiuri Giants, Japan has a players right now who is ca pable of making the majors. Japanese baseball commen tators have said that the Car dinals have beaten the All Stars repeatedly because of "better legs" and constant heads up baseball.
