Bates Only West Coast Gridder On UPI All-America First Team New York (UPD-i-Ted Bates became the second ail-American tackle from Oregon State in three seasons today. John Witte, who played with Bates on Oregon State's Rose Bowl team, was named to the all-American team in 1956. Bates was the only player from the West Coast named to the United Press Internation al first team. Two backs, Dick Bass of College of Pacific, and Joe Four bus loads of Medford High school students are to leave Friday morning for the state championship football game with Jefferson that night in Portland. The buses will carry the band, the rally squad and a number of the pep girls. MORE TICKETS ORDERED Tickets for the titular A-l gam at Multnomah sta dium, some 200 of the ducats, sold out quickly her yesterday and another 100 were scheduled to ar rive by bus today and go on sale at the high school. DINNER GUESTS The Medford High football team was guest of some 70 businessmen for a feed last night at Rogue Valley Coun try club. Films of the Med- form - Pendleton High state semi-final game were shown. CONTROVERSIAL TOUCHDOWN Fans will have a chance to judge for themselves con cerning a controversial scor ing play by Pendleton. For the game films are to be shown over television KBES on Thursday at 4:30 p.m. The play involved is the one on which Dennis Tyler rolled out and went around right end for three yards to put the Buckaroos ahead 26 to 20. We're told (we 'haven't seen the films) that the movies show that Medford defender Ken Durkee hit the goal line flag and that Tyler appeared to go out-of-bounds. It was a real close play to call for officials. It must be remembered, too, that a new rule on the books per mits a touchdown if a ball carrier's momentum carries him through the air over an out-of-bounds extension of the goal line. If part of a player's body touches the out-of-bounds area before going over the extension, however, it is no TD. TRIBUTE TO TEAM Radio station KMED taped Its Saturday broadcast of the Medford-Pendleton ruckus. It will be rebroadcast from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. on Thursday as a tribute and well-wishing ges ture to the team.

By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor New York (UPD Billy Can non, the big offensive threat in Louisiana State's climb to the No. 1 national ranking, and versatile Pete Dawkins of Army were the most popular choices on the 1958 United Press International All-American football team announced today. Cannon and Dawkins head ed a perfectly balanced back field that included quarter back Randy Duncan of Iowa and fullback Bob White of Ohio State. The All-American line was made, up of Buddy Dial of Rice and Sam Williams of Michigan State at ends; Ted. DRAW FINE New York (0PD Murray L. Schneider drew a $5 fine for speeding on Tuesday even though he protested to Magis trate Hyman Bushel that he could not have been going too fast because "I was holding on to the wheel with only one hand and I was playing the harmonica with the other." Corn Farmers Vote To End Controls Washington -(UPD- The na tion's corn farmers have voted for the end of acreage con trols and for lower price sup ports in a special referendum. Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson was ex pected to hail results of Tues day's referendum in 26 states at a press conference later to-" day. The plan approved by the corn-belt farmers eliminates acreage controls and fixes price supports at a national average of 90 per cent of the average market price for corn during the three preceding years, but no less than 65 per cent of parity. The other choice, rejected by farmers, would have con tinued the present program with reduced acreages quotas. Time to Talk Turkey at Bedtime Tonight with Jack Vaughn on Television at 10:30 for Barker's. Bates of Oregon State and Brock Strom of Air Force Academy at tackles; John Guzik of Pittsburgh and Al Ecuyer of Notre Dame at guards, and Bob Harrison of Oklahoma at center. Ecuyer, the only repeater from the 1957 United Press All-America, barely edged Guzik as the outstanding line selection in the voting by 278 sports writers and radio and television broadcasters from all over the country. Nine Are Seniors The "dream team" thus was made up of four players from the Midwest; two from the East and one each from the Southwest, Pacific Coast, Midlands, Rockies and South. Nine of the players are se niors, Cannon and White are juniors. Bob Anderson of Army, who made the first team last year as a sophomore, was beaten out in the voting for a backfield spot. He led in the voting for the second team backfield, however. Cannon, a 200-pound triple threat who led LSU through a perfect season of 10 victo ries and a berth in the Sugar Bowl, polled 2,276 points out of a possible perfect score of 3,058. He beat out Dawkins by 22 points. Duncan had 1,923 points and White 1,731. With four backfield spots available, the backs tradition ally poll more points than the linemen. Ecuyer received a total of 1,562 points to 1,551 for Gu zik and 1,438 for Harrison. The closest contest in the 1958 All-American voting was at end, where Williams barely beat out Monty Stickles of Notre Dame for a first team position, 1,097 points to 1,021. The voting for tackle was the most scat tered of any position on the team. Backfield Superbly Integrated The first-team backfield is a superbly integrated quartet that undoubtedly could func tion as a devastating unit if put on the field tomorrow. Each is recognized as a "clutch" player who led his team to a spot among the na tion's top 10 this season. Duncan is the major college total offense leader and ranks second among the passers; White is the nation's No. 2 rusher, Cannon ranks seventh in that department; Dawkins and Cannon are tied for fourth among the scorers; Cannon is an excellent punter and conversion kicker, and completed three of the four passes he was asked to throw. All of the linemen are the heavy-duty type who rarely played with any relief this season. Williams and Zuzik were the heaviest, around 225 each, while Dial was the "lightweight" at 185. Bates and Strom are excep tionally fast for big men. Coach Tommy Prothro of Oregon State said Bates "never played a bad game in three years." New York (UPI) The 1B58 United Press International All America football team under the point-system used, a player receiv ing the first-place vote of every person participating in the nation wide balloting would get 3,098 points.

BLENDED WHISKEY. 86 WOOF. 65 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Ore., Wednesday, November 16, IMS T Larry Copple Among OSC Gage By HOWARD APPLEGATE United Press International Corvallis, Ore. -flJPD- Coach Slats Gill, starting his 31st season as head man at Oregon State, has both height and ex perience on his 1958-59 bask etball team. But he doesn't have Dave Gambee. Gambee, one of the all time great big men from the Pacific Northwest, graduated last spring, leaving Gill with a big gap at a forward posi tion. Oregon State last season tied California for the Pacific Coast conference title, losing a playoff game for an NCAA berth. The veteran coach figures the loss of Gambee, now with the pro 'champion St. Louis Hawks, along with dead - eye forward Ken Nanson will cost Oregon State about 40 points per game. Oregon State also lost 6-8 center Wayne Moss and sub guard Gary Haynes. But the picture at Oregon State isn't necessarily one of gloom. Top Guards Gill has potentially the out standing pair of guards in the West in Lee Harman and Jim Anderson. Both are two-year vets who are good on defense and at hawking the ball. Harman, a six-footer from Los Angeles, could be the top backcourt man in the last scheduled year of the Pacific Thor Launched a! Cape Canaveral Cape Canaveral, Fla.-OJPD-The Air Force sent an inter mediate range Thor on a scheduled 1,500-mile flight early today in the 20th test of the versatile combat rocket. The blunt - nosed, 65-foot weapon lifted off its launch ing pad at 1:09 a.m. (p.s.t.), and its glow,' reflected from a 'low-hanging haze, lighted the missile test center for 160 seconds. Its powerful engine gener ating a force equivalent of 1,500 sticks of dynamite every second, the Douglas - made weapon roared out toward the edge of the earth's atmos phere. Then its engine shut off and it started the coasting phase which was to end with separation of the nose cone. In a combat situation, the nose cone would be equipped with a hydrogen warhead.

He is a top point producer. Anderson, who hails . from Hoquiam, Wash., is a 5-9 speed mer chant. For height, there is Gary Goble, another out-of-stater from Toutle Lake, Wash, who figures to hold down a start ing berth at center or for ward. Goble is another two striper who stands 6-8 but who has never realized his full scoring potential. The fourth two-year letter man is Ted Miller, an Oregon product from Milwaukie, who is leading in the race for a forward' position despite his relatively short 6-2 height. More Height Steve Flynn, a 6-5, 19-year-old sophomore from Mountain View, Calif., is given a chanc to nail down a starting berth. And if Gill wants mors height he could put 6-9 Karl Anderson of Oakland, Califs at center and switch Goble to forward. Anderson showed real promise as a freshman last season. Other lettermen back this season include Larry Copple of Medford, Ore., a 5-10 guard and Arnold Schroeder, a 6-2 forward from Long Beach, Calif.
