The Raiders had it rugged in their opener in the meet for they were billed against Uni versity of Nevada this after noon. Nevada, which whipped Eastern Oregon twice last week end, is the tourney fa vorite. Other schools in the tourna ment are Willamette universi ty, California Aggies, San MEDFORDvTRIBUNE spdDiflnrs lowan Break Feared by Californians By HAL WOOD San Francisco -(UPD- Uni versity of California's under dog f o o tb a 1 1 team went through another sweat-wringing workout jn the unseasonal heat and Coach Pete Elliott opined that he didn't need to worry about any of his boys being overweight. "We'll be in condition," said the soft-spoxen mentor, who isn't the most talkative person in the world. "And we'll show up." That's about as far as Elli ott will go in the way of pre dictions. He knows that his thrice-beaten team is a three touchdown underdog to Randy Duncan & Co. What he fears most is the way the Hawkeyes score from a long ways out. He's afraid that when one of the Iowa speedsters , breaks into the open, his boys won't be able to sprint fast enough to bring him down. All year long, Iowa has struck like lightning from 40, 50 and 60 yards to score touchdowns. Bears Run, Too What Pete doesn't mention, but couldn't possibly have for gotten, is that the Golden Bears did a pretty good job With the spread slimmed to 53 to 45, Ron Peery hit two free tosses for the Tiremen and Dick Niles put in a re bounder for 53 to 49. Derald sank a jump from outside for 53 to 51 but Don Jacob son of GP put in a driver With 40 seconds remaining, Niles hit from out for 55 to 53. Tom Flynn of GP was foul ed with five seconds to play, He missed his shot and Woot- en tipped the ball to Doug Witte who barely missed on a shot three-fourths the length of the floor. Flynn was high point man with 13 while Don Reese and Ron Robertson had 10 for Grants Pass. Bill Madden scored 11 for Hawkinson's. LINE-VPS: 55 Grants Pass Hawkinson's 53 T 13 Flynn F.

Southern Oregon has al ready met three of the fore going clubs, splitting with Chico and losing to San Fran cisco and Sacramento. Nine players are on the SOC squad for the tourna ment, Dave D'Olivio, Punk Biddington, Hank Smith, Gor don Carrigan, Jim McAbee, Dave Love, Laval Meunier, Don Vannice and Phil Sword, - Away Runs of scoring from the hinter lands, too. Joe Kapp, the all-around quarteback, - can get up quite a head of steam. He connected once from 92 yards. Of course, the fact that the play was a mistake doesn't alter the score. On this one, Kapp tried to hand off to Jack Hart, but Hart didn't take the ball. So Joe just kept it and followed Jack for the 92-yard touch down romp. On another play, this one planned, Kapp rolled out around end for 45 yards to score. Hart" once went 55 yards for a counter. And then there is the case of Frank Sally, a line-man, who inter cepted one of Lee Grosscup s passes in the flat in the Utah game and rolled back 68 yards to score. Look To The Past Of course, Pete isn't look ing at moving pictures of the California games these days. In the Cal gym he has four films of Iowa's games this year. Every day or so he calls in his assistants and the squad and they watch the speedy Iowans. run for touchdowns. They groan when Bob Jeter, Ray Jauch or Don Horn break into the open. They think that Randy Dun can is a very line passer but maybe he can run, also. "The few times we have seen him run in the films," said Elliott, "he looks like he can go when he has to." So Pete is busy setting up a defense for Randy there, too. Six Cleveland Players Signed Cleveland, Ohio - (UPD - Six players, including peppery Billy Martin-the Tribe's so lution to its second-base prob lem, returned signed contracts today to the Cleveland In dians. Two other infielders, Billy Moran and Randy Jackson, also came to terms.

Phone SP 2-6251 Henley Foe Of Phoenix On Friday Phoenix - Phoenix High aims at stronger offense as it tunes for two games this week end. The Pirate slate includes the first home game on Fri day with Henley the oppon ent and a trip to Brookings on Saturday.

Authority for emergency big game hunts was author ized by the 1957 legislature to control crop damage. Under provisions of the law, the commission may declare a damage control season on short notice for not more than 75 animals in an area less than a township in size.
