Morris (Looks To IPro Season Again "I'm looking forward to it again." That's what Jack Morris, ex-Medford high star, had to say yesterday when quizzed concerning his professional football plans. Morris, one of Medford Black Tornado's all-time greats, was a defensive back this fall for the Los Angeles Rams of the professional Na tional Football league. The gridder, who is taking It easy until after the holi days, has been a visitor at the home of his sister, Mrs. R. J. JACK MORRIS Eye More Pro Ball v Camden, Gold Hill. Jack re ported that he and his wife will spend Christmas at the home of Mrs. Morris's par ents, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Teague, Roseburg. Morris said that he plans to "beat the brush" for a job after the holidays, looking around western Oregon, in cluding Eugene and Medford. He stated that he had decided against going to school this winter. Jack has a bachelor of science degree from Uni versity of Oregon where he was varisty football and track man for three seasons each. Strictly Defense The ex-Tornado was in the line-up in all 18 of the game's the Rams played this season, starting in all but two of them. He reported that h e went the full route on defense in 14 contests. Morris said that he did not see a bit of offensive duty and was not taught the offensive plays. He worked on defense the entire time, indicating that is what the Rams had in mind when he was drafted. Jack's main opportunities to carry the ball were o.n punt returns and pass intercept Ions. . He snared six enemy aerials during the season, run ning one of them, against the Baltimore Colts for a touch down. Morris said he was "real if 0kH &tht- Wr " : 1 J psmfybZ'M HFC makes loans for shopping expenses At Household Finance you may borrow money to take care of the extra expenses of the season or for any other good reason.

Seeks Business Chance About the possibility of coaching when his pro foot ball days are over, Morris said he in uncertain. "I'm kind of looking for a business oppor tunity," he stated. Because of Jack's age, his years as a pro gridder may not be many. He had four years in the Air Force ahead of his college varsity career and as a rookie player this season, Jack, at 26, was older than some of the so-called veterans. He said the average age of Rams players was 25. "I'd like to play a couple or three more years,"" Morris remarked. However, he in dicated that a suitable busi ness opportounity might short en the length of his pro grid career. Jack said he would prob ably spend most of the holi day period with his sister. Concerning his ties to this community, Morris declared, "I have a soft spot in my heart for Medford." He finish ed high school here in 1950.

Firing Of Irish Coach Hit Hard South Bend, Ind. -PD- Joe Kuharich will get first hand information today about pros pects for his first Notre Dame football team, and it's likely the outline will predict a rocky path to heturn to unde feated grid greatness. Kuharich was to come to the campus to interview the assistants of the ousted Terry Brennan and attend a press luncheon to discuss the fu ture. He'll probably also view a few films of 1958 Irish games. But 'its unlikely the films or the assistants will be able to give him a bright picture for his second tour as a col lege coach. The , 1959 Irish will be without 23 players who were main cogs in the 1958 eleven which won 6 of 10 games, a record poor enough to induce the dis charge of Brennan. Kuharich was to confer with all of Brennan's helpers, Among them were two for mer college head coaches who earlier were classed among the contenders for the head coaching job-Bernie Crim mins, once head coach at In diana, and Hugh Devore, head coach of Dayton and the Philadelphia Eagles before he joined the Irish staff. Firing Arouses Controversy Meanwhile, the dismissal of Brennan aroused consider able controversy across ,the nation. , At Baton Rogue, Paul Diet zel of Louisiana State univer sity, who was "Coach of the Year" termed Notre Dame's action a "disgrace to the school." Members of the Notre Dame team in Santa Clara, Calif., for the Shrine game called the firing "rotten." Kuharich quit the Washing ton Redskins with four years remaining under his five-year contract in order to accept a four year pact with the Irish It was possible that he might retain some of Brennan's as sistants after today's inter views, and if so, he might name part of his staff at to day's luncheon.

MedfcrdTribuni lowan Captain Non-Starter But Inspirational By ALEX KAHN Pasadena, Calif.-UPI-A kid from the toughest section of Youngstown, Ohio, who be came captain of the Iowa foot ball team and then had to step aside this season for a young er player is the inspirational leader of the Hawkeyes. He is John Nocera who as a sophomore started in the Rose Bowl game two years ago against Oregon State. But this year against California he may see the starting assign ment go to rugged Don Horn. "It's a thrill to be back for my second Rose Bowl game whether I get to start or not," Nocero said during a breather between practice sessions at the East Los Angeles Stadium. Into Swing of It "Everything seemed strange two years ago. Iowa had nev er been to a Rose Bowl game and we didn't know what to expect or how to get organ- Ground Play Advised for California San Francisco - (IIPD - Cali fornia's best chance to beat Iowa in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1 is to stick to the ground game. Take the words of quarter back Nick Pietrosante of No tre Dame and Coach Milton Bruhn of Wisconsin. They both participated in games against the Hawkeyes in which they lost in the last half possibly .because they didn't stick to the ground. "That Iowa club has four of the fastest halfbacks I ever saw in my -life," said Pietro sante, who was calling the signals when his club got licked, 31-21. "But I don't think Iowa was the strongest team we met. I thought Purdue had a better club. Not Hot Defensively "However, that Randy Dun can is really something. And he has great ends to catch his passes. "We found that you could run against them, but if you try to pass they have those four speedy backs who pick off you aerials. I think it will be a high-scoring game. Iowa doesn't have the greatest de fense in the world and I think it will be matter of which team scores the most. But I don't agree with those 18 point odds in any bowl game. This one has to be closer than that." Bruhn, who had a fine year at Wisconsin, agreed in most instances with Pietrosante. "We ran against them real good," said Bruhn. "We had a 9-0 lead at the half and we might have won if we had not booted a couple of good chances to score. But they came back the last half to beat us 20-9. Scoring Sets Them Afire "They are an inspirational football team. Once they score, they just seem to catch on fire and gain momentum from there on in. They have a fine ball club and espec ially fine on offense." . Piestrosante and Bruhn are here as members of the East team for the annual Shrine classic next Saturday. Fish Regulation Hearing Jan. 9 Portland Oregon's fish ing regulations for 1959 will be tentatively set following a public hearing on Friday, Jan. 9.

But this time we slipped into the routine the minute we stepped off the plane. "And when the school ar ranged for our wives to go along that really made it won derful." Nocera is one of 14 players on the Iowa squad who is mar ried. Coach Forest Evashev ski insisted that the married players should be permitted to bring along their wives and his views prevailed. "You ask what sort of a squad we have this year? It's a team of young guys with guts and heart who are receiv ing great coaching," Nocera said. "It may sound a little corny but it was desire that made us a winning team. We worked as a unit and no man was out for personal glory. ' "See Randy Duncan over there? He's always telling the coaches to use Mitch Ogiego more and he spends a lot of times showing Mitch his pass ing tricks. That's what ; I mean." Nocera, nicknamed "The Nose" by his teammates, read ily admits he has had to fight for his playing time because of the brilliance of Horn. "That guy should be an All America next year. He's been terrific this season. And I'm glad of it. Without him -we might not have been the Rose Bowl team."

Veeck, former head of both Indians and Browns, said he had "discussed" buying con trolling interest in the Sox from Mrs. Dorothy Rigney, who with her brother, Charles Comiskey, owns the ball club. Roy Egan, Mrs. Rigney's at torney, said there "is merit" to such talk. "We discussed it with Mrs. Ri g n e y ' s representatives," Veeck said. "Any other state ments will have to come from them."
