HOCKEY NATIONAL LEAGUE New York (UPD Lome Worsley, the little goalie who so often has been under fire from coach Phil Watson, is the New York Rangers' "new hero" today. "Worsley was the real hero," said Watson after the Rangers beat the Montreal Canadiens, 2-1, Sunday night and stretched their winning streak to a national Hockey league season high of four straight games. "He held the fort after we got the lead for him." Worsley, a" 29-year-old na tive of Montreal, , made 39 saves as he turned back charge after charge by the Montreal sharpshooters and enabled the Rangers to move within one point of the sec ond place Boston Bruins. The' Chicago Black Hawks scored a 3-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings and the Bruins and Tornado Maple Leafs played a 4-4 tie in the other games. AMERICAN LEAGUE Ken Schinkel is convincing the skeptics that his early-sea son scoring splurge in the Am erican Hocky league is no fluke. The scoring ace of the Springfield Indians banged in two goals and assisted on an other to lead his team to a 3-1 victory over the Buffalo Bi sons Sunday night at Buffalo, Schinkel also notched a pair of assists in the Indians' 5-1 win over the Providence Reds Saturday night. In other Sunday night ac tion, the Cleveland Barons racked up their first road vic tory of the campaign by beat ing Providence, 4-2, and the Rochester Americans earned a split in their week end home-and-home series with Hershey, trouncing the Bears 5-1. UNUSUAL FORMATION Louisville, Ky. -(UPD Louis ville's football team isn't much impressed with Army's famed "lonesome end" offens ive pattern this year because it has a formation in which it employs three ends and two fullbacks. People in the United States eat twice as many canned vegetables today as they did in 1909 and also consume about one-fourth more of the fresh vegetable varieties. ing, and by pouncing on the Warrior end zone flub. Bill Skeeters boomed 15 yards to the goal for the Eagles in the second panel. Turner ramb led 63 yards and passed to Bill McClure for 55 yards and TDs in the fourth. Two runs by Skeeters and one by Turn er produced the bonus points. A 14-yard pass play, Den nis Bergman to Mickey Jen nings, was the Oakridge scor ing punch. The Warriors, their ground assault stifled by stiff Eagle defense, pen alties and fumblitis, made only two other serious threats to score and neither of those got nearer the zero yard line than the Eagle 28. Doyle Hays slipped through gaps for a few substantial gains but Eagle tackles and the fumbles brought frequent losses and the Warriors net ted just 42 yards rushing while Eagle Point cracked Oakridge defense for an im pressive 241. Oakridge took to the air with some second half success but the Eagles matched the Warrior aerial yardage and intercepted and held on downs to quash the opposing bid. Turner Fires Pass Skeeters plopped on a Bergman fumble on the War rior 21 to first set the Eagle scorine stage. Skeeters car ried to the 17 and Turner to the 15 but a procedure pen alty, put the Eagles back to the 20 and McClure on a re verse lost to the 22. But Turn er found Hubbard on a fourth down touchdown pass then got the extra on a pitchout. Steve Irwin of Oakridge ran the kick-off back to the 31 but the Warriors were pen alized to the 15 for clipping. Hays made five yards over tackle but lost on a fumble on a reverse.. Then, on anoth er reverse, he could not con trol the ball and it bumped back into the end zone. Hays, trying to retrieve the pigskin appeared to kick it. Hubbard fell on the ball for six Eagle counters and Skeeters ran the extra for a 14 to 0 spread. Turner received a Berg man punt on the Eagle 32 yard line as the first quarter closed out. He returned the ball 51 yards down the left sideline to the Oakridge 1', trirDed uo bv Chris Stanley. The Warrior back, blocked on the' runback, upset Turner with his extended feet. Skeeters Tallies A procedure infraction set the Eagles on the 22. Turner on irmH seven to the 15 and Skeeters spun and slanted over right tackle to find ms way to the goal. Skeeters nrnsserl the nay stripe on a conversion effort but another penalty spoiled the try ana David Huffman failed on a keeper. Opportunity knocKea ior nairrirltTo when Gregg Jen- kino fell on a Skeeters fumble on the EP 17. Irwin made five yards from there and nays gained one and lost three. The 14-yard TD pass, Berg man to Jennings, foiiowea. Bergman's extra pointer boot was blocked. Eagle Point struck back to the Oakridge 225-yard line after the kick-off but the Rogue Valley eleven was charged with clipping ana illegal use of hands for 30 yards of penalties. An option play then lost five yards and Huffman had to punt from the EP 40. Oakridge came out fired up for the second half and ready to make a game of it but fumbles and recoveries by Dale Casey and Roger Hooper for the Eagles took the toma hawk from the Warriors. And Eagle Point posed a threat that was halted on the 25. Pass Offensive Bergman uncorked a pass offensive as Oakridge made a desperate try in the fourth quarter. In seven plays Oak ridge moved the ball from its own 29 to the Eagle 35 and a first down. One line play gained two yards. Two passes were incomplete and a third was snared by McClure of the Eagles. Eagle Point had the ball on its 26. Skeeters gained two and then 10 yards but Mc Clure lost one yard to the 37. From there Turner burst through the middle of the line and ran away from the opposition. His conversion run failed and EP led 26 to 6. Passing gains of 19 and nine yards after the Eagle kick off took the Warriors to the EP 28 where they lost on downs. Turner, running for the Eagles moved up to the 45. Then he hurled the ball to McClure, who, once he got up steam, outraced defenders on a 55-yard goalward ram ble. Skeeters ran for a bonus tally and made it on this oc casion. Turner with the help of his 63-vard scamper was the night's leading ball toter with 123 yards on 10 carries. Skeet ers packed 13 times for 65.

Involved in the second place fracas were surprising Indiana and ninth-place Minnesota. In Saturday s coming wind-ups, Wisconsin was to host Minne sota and Indiana was going to Purdue.

Bile By Sport yXfeiv OSCAR FRALEY I Parade SS: New York -DPD Television fans finally get a good fight this week when Rory Cal houn and Tiger Jones two guys who aren't going any where but do it in slam-bang fashion go into Madison Square Garden just to knock each other around. Ordinarily a bout in which these participants engage might draw a loud yawn. Be cause the way each of them has been "boxing," as the fight managers put it, they have been masterpieces of fis tic futility. This time they figure to make each other look good. In these days of televised boxing, the trend has been to names more than to fighters. Fights once were made on a basis of styles, but of late the technique has been to put two "names" in together. The re sults haven't always been good. Both Have 'Names' It takes styles to make a dramatic fight and, with two "names" inclined to dance around in a classic waltz to protect their ratings, the pre liminary match which the vi deo audience never sees usu ally steals the show for the handful of fistic fans lucky enough to be on the premises. Calhoun and Jones both have "names," of a sort. Yet neither is going anywhere in the perennial race for title recognition. Jones still is liv ing off the reputation he gain ed by licking Ray Robinson during the middleweight champion's early comeback days in 1956. Calhoun was touted highly but was rushed along too fast and seems to have blown his chances. But they have identical styles which should make for an eye-pleasing evening come Friday. Each of them likes to move in and throw shots from the outfield. There is little of the fancy dan in either of them and.it would appear to be a case where somebody has to go. It spells out the kind of a brawl you don't see very oft en these days. For Jones and Calhoun are reminiscent -even though faintly - of the Billy Petrolles, Bat Battalinos and Ace Hudkins. Their crowd-pleasing theory was that they were paid to fight -so fight. Jones, first name Ralph, was billed early as a "Tiger" and it is only fair to admit that at times he has looked like one. But his record of 45 victories in 72 bouts whispers reluctantly that he. changes stripes more often than a ti ger is supposed to do. In four bouts this year he split with Kid Gavilan, not a great testimonial at this late date, dropped a decision and in his last outing flattened Straight Bourbon Whiskey Sn A' Enjoy the smooth Kentucky flavor and quality of this generations-old Western favorite now winning new friends everywhere! qt. FROM ntniovur. t frkt-ri jvt Mickey Crawford. Calhoun, the opera -loving son of a Georgia minister, fought nine times this year and has won seven against two losses. He has won 37 of 43 bouts against only five set backs and one draw, which at first glance seems to be a for midable record. But Calhoun apparently is a mite muscle-bound and, the experts contend, was moved up too quickly. Still he has kayoed 19 of his opponents to build up the assumption that when he lands solidly something has to give. This bout can't be billed as for a shot at anything - ex cept money - but it should be a head-to-head contest with more video thrills than some of the "name" fighter fiascos. MAY CHANGE NICKNAME Yonkers, N.Y. -(UPD- Middle weight Ralph (Tiger) Jones of Yonkers, N.Y., says "I'm thinking of changing my nick name to 'Split' because 20 of the 24 fights I lost were by split decision." Jones, who won 42 bouts and had four draws', hopes there'll be no 'split' Friday night when he fights Rcry Calhoun in Madi son Square Garden. we roim CONCRETE ANY WEATHER TRU-MIX Concrete is deliver ed on the job at the right tem perature for the best results even in freezing weather!
