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

Four bus loads of Medford

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

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

"We welcome process ser

ager of heavyweight champ

presenting challenger Johans
son and pilot Ahlqvist to the
American press for the first
time.
D'Amato was keyed to a
fighting ed.ge by:
Printed lumors that the
fear of process servers had
kept Johansson and Ahlqvist
incommunicado at a midtown
hotel during five days of sec
ret negotiations for a June
title fight.
-Tuesday night's announce
ment that the New York Box
ing Managers' association had
rejected d'Amato's application
for membership.
The printed rumors stated
that European champion Jo

feared process servers for
suits demanding that unbeat
en Ingemar go through with
alleged contracts to fight
Eddie Machen of Redding,
Calif., and Pat McMurtry of
Tacoma, Wash., before chal
lenging Patterson.
. "Those rumors are lies,"
declared d'Amato. "I asked
Johansson and Ahlqvist to re
main in seclusion until we
finished pur preliminary ne
gotiations so that we would
not be bothered constantly by
outsiders.
"If there "are any process
servers, we welcome them.
We welcome process servers
because we would just like to
get those guys into court
those guys who started the
rumors."
Concerning Tuesday night's
announcement by George
Sheppard, president of the

"I never even made applica
tion for membership in that
outfit. It fronts for the Inter

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

Cape Canaveral, Fla.-OJPD-The

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.

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

relatively short 6-2 height.
More Height
Steve Flynn, a 6-5, 19-year-old
sophomore from Mountain

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

real promise as a freshman
last season.
Other lettermen back this
