12 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Ore.. Thursday, December 18, 1958 Tornadoes Display Hoop Improvement Improvements in team and individual play were noted by Head Coach Frank Roe- landt following the Wednes day afternoon workout of the Medford High basketball squad. Roelandt said that the Black Tornado displayed little more finesse yesterday than it has displayed in pre vious workouts. Yet the men tor was uncertain as to the personnel of the Medford traveling sauad and as to starters for the series with South Eugene this week end. . Medford vies at Eugene on Friday and Saturday nights : Roelandt reported that his squad's ball handling was bet Cager May Need Brain Operation Cincinnati, Ohio -(UPD- Doc tors continued tests today to determine whether to per form a brain-clot operation on Sihueo (Si) Green, Cin cinnati Royals guard. Green, a top basketball star at Duquesne university before turning professional, has been hospitalized since he collapsed during a Dec. 9 practice session. Doctors at Christ hospital here said if the tests showed the presence of a brain clot, an operation would probably be performed at once. Green collapsed earlier during an exhibition game at Lewiston, Maine. His condi tion at that time was diagnos ed as virus infection. He has been given a clean bill of health following an other collapse Nov. 21 in a game at Philadelphia when the elbow of Tom Gola of the Warriors accidentally struck him. Dr. Trank Mayfield, neuro ' surgeon and head of a team of doctors conducting the current test, said a blood clot could have resulted from a blow on the head. Green is the second Royals star to be hospitalized in less than a year. Maurice Stokes, high-scoring pivot man from Pittsburgh, has been in a semi-coma for nine months with a disease akin to sleep ing sickness. Green wore Stokes' jersey, No. 12, when he joined the team this year. He wore it until the Philadelphia injury when he asked to "get rid of that jinxed number." He switched to 14. ter Wednesday, that the play ers seemed to be getting "the drift of things" and were playing more naturally. Ken Durkee, the tutor said is showing more consistency and taking over more as floor leader, filling a gap made by Don Peek's absence. Peek is sidelined for a number of weeks by an appendectomy Roelandt said also that George Koch is getting into the swing of things, showing more confidence, using more fakes and shots and improv ing in defense. Calviri Dean, hampered by an ankle injury suffered in football, was moving well yes terday. Jerry Anderson, one of the old reliables from last season, is maintaining his con sistent play in drills. A blot clot resulting from a cut over his eye in week end play, has bothered Jerry Shults this week but Roelandt said he thought Shults will be all right for the South Eu gene contests. Medford with eight letter- men on its squad will take more experience into the two games than will South Eu gene. The Axemen have no lettermen on their squad. However, they have develop ed sharp passing and don't waste many shots. Possible starters for the Willamette Valley club are Snady Nosier, 6-1, and Danny O Connell, 5-10, or Steve Ha macker, 6-1, forwards, Dave Wetzell, 6-4, center, and Wally Larsen, 5-10 and Robib Mil ler, 5-9 guards. - Others who may see quite a bit of duty are Nick Carter, 5-10, Bo Blair, 6-3, and John Jost. DIETZEL HEADS CLINIC Santa Monica, Calif. (DPD Paul Dietzel of Louisiana State, 1958's Coach of the Year, heads a list of six top football mentors who will ap pear at a three-day instruc tion clinic Feb. 12-14. The others are Duffy Daugherty of Michigan State, Pete Elli ott of California, Eddie Erde- latz of Navy, Forest Eva shevski of Iowa and Bud ' Wilkinson of Oklahoma.

SeatUe Pac. 54 Greenbacks Incentive To Gridders New York-dTD-The old say ing that the "rich get richer" also hold true for the Na tional Football league. The Cleveland Browns and New York Giants, the "mon eybags" clubs of the Eastern division, will divide another bundle of greenbacks Sunday when they playoff for the di vision title at Yankee Sta dium. The crowd of about 70,000, plus television and radio fees will assure a bonanza of about a quarter of a mil lion dollars for the owners and players. In a division playoff game, the two clubs split, the net receipts and each player gets an additional one-twelfth of his salary the teams play 12 regular season games. This will average about $1,000 per player. The quar terbacks and other stars such as fullback Jim Brown of Cleveland will get more, of course, following the same "rich get richer" pattern. Most of the guards and tackles, who decide the game with their play in the line, probably will get less than $1,000 apiece. But none of the players will need pep-talks before Sunday's game. The winners will move into the league championship game opposing the Baltimore Colts Dec. 28. That's the game in which the players slice up the net receipts. With the title game to be played in Yankee Stadium or Cleveland's Municipal Sta dium, the gross receipts easily could top the record $593,967.50 set by the Browns and Lions at Detroit last year. That means the individual winners in the championship game may collect about $5,000 and the losers about $3,000. Those fat title game cuts will inspire the players Sunday. Scooter McLean Resigns Green Bay Coaching Post Green Bay, Wis. -d'PD-The Green Bay - Packers began their search today for an "iron man" general manager who . would have to find a replacement for resigned head coach Ray (Scooter) Mc Lean and save the flounder ing national football team. The only name mentioned publicly to take over a newly created general manager post was that of Earl (Curly) Lambeau, who founded the Packers in 1919. Lambeau gave Green Bay six cham pionships before quitting in 1949 when he won only two games. Some say he's not the man to bring the Packers back into contention, others say he is. McLean's "surprise" resig nation, followed a few hours later by his acceptance of a job as Detroit Lions' back field coach, climaxed the most dismal year in Green Bay football history. The Packers had a 1-10-1 record. MEDFORBfJTRIBUNE Depth, Balance Aid To Glemson Tigers (This Is the second of 10 dis patches on the football teams playing in the post-season bowl games.) Hawkeyes Sent To Drill Quickly for Bowl Game By ALEX KAHN United Press International Pasadena, Calif .- (UPD - The Hawkeyes of Iowa, anxious to make up for practice time lost at home due to weather conditions, today were sent to work by Coach Forest Eva shevski as quickly as possible following . their welcome by the home city of the Rose Bowl game. "We have to start from scratch," Evashevski said as he herded the Iowa football team to the East Los Angeles Junior college practice field for the first workout. The Iowans left Iowa City in 11-degree weather and land Wednesday at nearby Burbank with the tempera ture at 82 degrees. Whisked to its hotel, the club received a welcome as warm as the weather." Rose Queen Pamela Elaine Prather and her court of princesses greeted the invad ing Iowans and presented each with a California orange as Evashevski introduced his players. . . -. Evashevski said the Iowa team was here to prepare for its engagement with Cali fornia in the Rose Bowl and not to bask in the sunshine. "We have a lot of work ahead," Evashevski warned his players. He lined up a schedule of two - a - day practice sessions for the immediate future un til he is satisfied the club was back in regular season playing condition. Asked to comment on Cali fornia, Evashevski said he had to classify the Golden Bears as different from any team Iowa met this year. "And those odds making us 18 point favorites are ridicu lous," he snapped. "Just look at the scores run up against us 'and you realize how silly the odds become." CLEMSON By TOM PRICE C 1 e m s o n, S.C. -(LTD- The Clemson Tigers, who meet the nationally top-ranked Lou isiana State Tigers in the Su gar Bowl football game New Year's Day, don't have the big-name stars of the Bayou Bengals but compiled an 8-2 season record, primarily on depth. However, the South Caro lina Tigers don't go three teams deep as do LSU's much- publicized "white team, go team and Chinese bandits." But Clemson did have eight backs who gained more than 130 yards each during the 1958 season which produced an Atlantic Coast Conference championship and senior Charlie Home, a half-back standout the two previous years, iound himself at sea son's end on the third team. So did senior fullback and co-captain Rudy Hayes, who gained 310 yards rushing de spite finishing up the season playing behind junior Doug Cline and senior Mike Dukes. Cline led the team in rushing with 438 yards. Hampered By Injuries Harvey White, who had more than 1,000 yards in to tal offense as a sophomore in 1957, was hampered by shoul der and ankle injuries during the second half of the 1958 schedule but still posted 739 yards passing and running. Sophomore Lowndes Shin gler proved a capable under study for White at quarter back, piling up 336 yards to tal offense although he, too, was hampered by a bad ankle. Coach Frank Howard hopes ailments' to White, Shingler and other members of the squad will be healed by Jan. 1. The balance of. Clemson's squad is reflected in the even distribution of the scoring this year. White scored 30 points; George Usry, a junior halfback who averaged 5.2 yards per carry, scored 28; halfback Bill Mathis collected 26 and Shingler 19. While some observers set up a howl when Clemson was chosen as LSU's oppon ent, the South Carolina Tigers while not overwhelming any opponents during 1958 played thrilling, come-from-behind football on most week ends. Clemson Trade Mark Trailing Virginia in the fi nal period, Clemson scored to win its opener, 20-15. A week later, the Tigers scored on the last play of the first half to gain a 14-14 halftime dead lock with North Carolina, and then -trailing 21-20-punched over a touchdown in the final moments for a 26-21 triumph. White plunged into the end zone with nine seconds re maining to wipe out a one point deficit and give Clem son a 12-7 victory over Van derbilt. Such Frank Merriwell fin ishes have become a Clemson trade mark. The Tigers used just such tactics in winning their first three bowl appear ances: 6-3 over Boston Col lege in the f940 Cotton Bowl game; 24-23 over Missouri in the 1949 Gator Bowl; and 15 14 over Miami in the 1951 Orange Bowl. Clemson Was Underdog In each ' of these contests, Clemson was the. underdog, so it doesn't bother Howard, Clemson's picturesque tobac co-chewing, head coach one bit that folks are hollering that his Tigers from the South Carolina hills are mismatchedj against the Tigers from the Louisiana bayous. "Shucks," says Frank, the favorite son of Barlow Bend, Ala., "ennybody knows a skin ny mountain tiger kin whup a fat swamp tiger enny time." Clemson resumed practice Dec. 12 here and will break camp Saturday for the Christ mas holidays. The Tigers re port back Dec. 26 and will fly to Biloxi, Miss., next day where they will wind up train ing, moving into New Orleans the day before the New Year's Day classic, is-is-sa WHAT WAS ADMISSION PRICE tO THE FIRST Tickets $or the first &Se Bowl Game between Michigan and Stanferd in t9o2 sold for fifty cents and one dollar.

Perth, Austalia - (UPD - Per ry Jones, non-playing captain of the United States Davis Cup team, chose Alex Olmedo as his No. 2 singles player today for this week end's inter-zone final against Italy. Perry decided to string along with Olmedo instead of Barry Mackay, who impressed Aussie fans last year by whip ping Ashley Cooper of Aus tralia in the challenge round. Olmedo and Mackay had been battling for the No. 2 spot in singles after Perry had designated Ham Richardson of Arlington, Va. as his No. 1 singles player. ' Perry made his long-awaited selection today only hours before the draw was made for the opening singles matches. Draws Pietrangeli In the draw, Olmedo drew lanky Nikola Pietrangeli as his opening opponent. Rich ardson, the former Rhodes scholar, will play Orlando Sirola in Friday's other sin gles match. In Saturday's d o u b 1 e s match of the best-of-five series, Richardson and Olm edo will play Pietrangeli and Sirola. The pairings for the opening singles matches will be reversed for Sunday's final matches. The winner of the inter zone final will play Australia in the challenge round. Crater Crew Girds For Eagle Tussles Central Point As the Crater high basketball crew prepared this week for a pair of scuffles with Eagle Point, Coach Don Anielak pointed to statistics of the three pre vious games to show where Comet performance needs bolstering. The Eagles and Comets col lide at Eagle Point Friday and at Central Point Satur day with jayvee prelims bill ed for each evening.

Cincinnati, NCS Heading For Showdown in Dixie By FRED DOWN United Press International Cincinnati, sparked by the incomparable Oscar Robert son, and North Carolina State, led by its "Mutt and Jeff" combination of Lou Pucillo and John Richter, are heading for a Dixie Classic showdown which could go a long way to ward deciding the 1958-59 col lege basketball champion. Each has completed the early "warm-up" phase of its schedule, unbeaten-Cincinnati romping over College of Pa cific, 112-66, for its fourth straight win Wednesday night and North Carolina State downing LaSalle, 82-66, for its 'fifth consecutive victory. Cincinnati's next game is with dangerous St. Louis and North Carolina State has weekend dates with Kansas State and Kansas. But both could be unbeaten when they start play in the Dixie Classic at Raleigh, N. C, Dec. 29. And that, of course, could lead to a championship match between the nation's first-ranked team and its fourth-ranked power. Robertson Stars Again Robertson, the 6-5 defend ing national scoring leader, turned, in another of his breath - taking performances despite the fact that .College of Pacific had as many as four men guarding him.
