Fans Anticipated

United Press International
More than 300,000 fans on
live different football fronts
will take themselves out to
the old "bowl" game Thurs
day despite a pointed warn
ing from odds-makers that
most of the contests should
wind up in one-sided fashion.
Nearly 100,000 the biggest
crowd of the day, is expected
at Pasadena, Calif., where
Iowa is a whopping 18-point
choice to trounce California
in the Rose Bowl.
Randy Duncan, All-America
quarterback, heads a
Hawkeye team which com
piled a 7-1-1 record this sea
son while his opposite number
is Joe Kapp, who directed the
Golden Bears to a 7-3 cam
paign. Generally regarded the
x "granddaddy" of all New
Year's day classics, the Rose
Bowl game will be aired by
NBC-TV and radio starting at
1:45 p.m. (PST).
LSU Heavy Favorite
Top-ranked Louisiana State,
which was the only major un
beaten team in the country
with a 10-0 slate, is a top

Denny Has No Fear
Of Facing Ortega
Bf LARRY SHAW
Portland (UPI) - Portland's
19-year-old Denny Moyer will
step into the ring Friday night
on the eve of breaking into
the "big time."
Moyer will fight nationally
ranked Gasper Ortega in a
televised fight from Madison
Square Garden.
What does the young man
with only 18 professional
fights think about his big
chance?
He's not frightened by the
thought of facing Ortega.
That's because he sparred
with him before Ortega's fight
here with current welter
weight champion Don Jordan.
In those sparring sessions
Moyer picked up a lot of con
fidence and he firmly be
lieves he can whip Ortega.
And Moyer's manager, the
shrewd Sid Flaherty goes
right along with that.
"Denny's come a long way
since turning pro a year ago
last August," Flaherty says.

In Dixie Tourney
By JOHN GRIFFIN
United Pren International
The downfall of top-ranked
Cincinnati from the unbeaten
ranks and the one-point nar
row escapes of Kentucky and
Kansas State stole the basket
ball limelight today from the
crowning of six new major
tournament champions.
Kansas State, Michigan,
Perm. State, Louisiana State,
Miami of Ohio, and Missis
sippi State joined the honor
roll of holiday carnival cham
pions through victories Tues
day night.
But Cincinnati's 69-60 loss
to North Carolina State in
the semi-final round of the
Dixie Classic at Raleigh,
N.C., was the top topic that
had 'em ' buzzing in court
circles today along with Kan
sas State's 67-66 win over
Colorado in the Big Eight
tourney finals and Ken
tucky's 76-75 squeaker over
Illinois in a non-tourney
game.
National scoring champion
Oscar Robertson tallied 29
points in vain for Cincinnati
as the Bearcats suffered their
first loss in seven games.
Tourney host North Carolina
State (8-1), ranked No. 6 na
tionally, never trailed and
led by as much as 13 points
with eight minutes left before
Cincinnati staged a mild
comeback. John Richter led
State with 26 points but Cin
cinnati Coach George Smith,

Cannon, the UPI's "Player of

quarterback Warren R a b b.
Clemson, which uses an un
balanced "T" formation and
compiled an 8-2 record this
season, relies heaviest on Har

ing. The game will be carried
on NBC-TV and radio, begin

The men who make the
odds claim the Orange Bowl
game at Miami, Fla., should
be one-sided too, with Okla

over Syracuse (8-1). Syracuse
Coach Ben Schwartzwalder
summed up the Sooners per

"Oklahoma does things so
well," he said. "And they do
them so fast. And so many
people do it."
Names Same Lineup
Oklahoma Coach Bud Wil
kinson named virtually the
same starting team as he did
all season. The only excep
tion was sophomore Bob Cor
nell, who will start at quarter
back in place of David Baker,
dropped for failure to meet
academic standards. CBS will

Not Cocky
Don't get the idea that Den
ny is cocky. He isn't. He re
alizes that Ortega is a tough
fighter and knows that he'll
have to go all out to beat him.
Flaherty isn't worried about
Moyer "choking up" in the
Garden. "Denny's got a lot of
talent and with his N experi
ence as a pro and his many
amateur fights, I think he can
handle it," Flaherty asserts.
Moyer will go into the fight
about five pounds heavier
than Ortega. Although the
fight is billed as a welter
weight match, Moyer is more
of a middleweight.
He probably will scale be
tween 151 ' pounds and 152
pounds. That's what he
weighed when he outpointed
Johnny Saxton and Tony Du-pas-his
last fight Dec. 13.
Denny also will be fighting
a jinx when he steps into the
Garden. All Northwest fight
ers who were on the brink of
making a name have lost
there.
Cincinnati
pointed to State's rebound
edge 46-37, as Robertson
bagged only eight as decisive.
N. C. State will clash with
fourth-ranked Michigan State
(6-0) in the Dixie finals to
night. Michigan State handed
North Carolina its first loss,
as jumping Johnny Green
scored 20 points and con
trolled rebounding.
Kentucky, ranked No. 2
nationally, remained unbeat
en (10-0) only because a last
second 25-foot shot by Illi
nois Governor Vaughn
rimmed the basket. Illinois
almost wiped out a seven
point deficit in the last 44 sec
onds. Sid Cohen had 23 points
for Kentucky and Mannie
Jackson 21 or the Illini.
Kansas State, ranked No. 3
nationally, followed a 32
point performance " by , six
eight Bob Boozer to the Big
Eight tourney title but had to
hang onto its one-poin lead
through the last two minutes.
Boozer's long hook shot with
2:01 left gave the Wildcats
the lead at 67-66 and proved
to be the last score in the
game.

Campy Will Be
Special Coach
For LA Dodgers
Glen Cove, N.Y. (DPD
Campy's going south again
with the Dodgers and, man,
he thinks this is "the greatest
New Year ever."
Although still confined to a
wheelchair, Roy Campanella
couldn't keep the excitement
out of his voice as he talked
about "my new job with the
Dodgers" at his home here
today.
"It's the kind of thing I
wanted to do all my life," said
the former Dodger catcher,
"and now Til be able , to be
right back with all the fallas
again."
All this was made possible
Tuesday when Vice President
Buzzy Bavasi of the Dodgers
announced in Los Angeles
that Campanella will rejoin
the club as a special coach for
Dodger youngsters at Vero
Beach, Fla., during the 1959
spring training season.
"Campy's rehabilitation fol
lowing his tragic accident the
night of Jan. 28 is sufficiently
advanced so that he can help
us," Bavasi added, Campa
nella will have official status
with the Dodgers as assistant
supervisor of scouting in the
eastern area of the U. S.

"But my lineup is subject
to a late revision," said El
liott as he announced his
starters.
The Big Ten has won 11 of
the engagements since the two
conferences engaged in the
pact "to protect football." The
1960 game will be the last
under the present contract
although there is some hope
that another agreement may
be made between the Big Ten
and West Coast schools.
Hawkeyes Can Run
The odds - makers believe
that the speedy Iowa secon
dary will be too tough for
California. There the Hawk
eyes have such men as Bob
Jeter, Willie Fleming, John
Nocera and Don Horn, and
these men travel fast on both
offense and defense.
However, California's backs
aren't exactly slow-pokes. Joe
Kapp is one of the larger
quarterbacks in the country
at 6-2 and 205 pounds. And
he has good speed. The half
backs and fullbacks are above
average in the speed depart
ment. Elliott has named Kapp,
halfbacks Hank Olguin and
Jack Hart and fullback Billy
Patton as starters. None of
these is slow. .Additionally,
available are such speedsters
as Grpver Garvin, Walt Arn
old and Jack Yerman, the lat
ter a star track man.
Evashevski's starting back
field has Randy Duncan at
quarter; Jeter and Fleming,
halves, and Nocera fullback.
The Iowa line has Jeff
Langston and Don Norton at
ends; John Burroughs and
Mac Lewis, tackles; Hugh

Of Tornado
Medford high hoopsters
hope to shake off the holiday
doldrums before taking on
Klamath Falls here this Satur
day night in their Southern
Oregon conference starter.
' "We'd better improv in
practice or we'll take a dump
ing this week," Coach Frank
Roelandt declared. "We
haven't looked good," he ad
ded. The Black Tornado has
been bolstered by the return
on Monday of senior letter
man guard Don Peek. He was
sidelined before the pre-con-ference
competition began by
an appendectomy. Condition
ing is Peek's main problem
and he's a bit rusty from the
lay-off. However, he was run
ning pretty well after two
days of practice and Roelandt
said Peek will see some ac
tion, at least.
The coach also reported
that Lowell Dean's back is
still a little sore but not both
ering him so much. Dean, a
junior letterman, was out of
action during last week end's
Corvallis series because of a
wrenched back.
Medford's eager have been
on the court every , day dur
ing the holidays except Christ
mas and Sunday. They were
to drill this afternoon and
have tomorrow off. Final
preparations for the Klamath
Pelicans are set for Friday.
The Black Tornado will be
able to practice on Friday be
cause it has a first night bye
in league contention.
