10 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Thursday, January T, 1959 Oregon Rose Bowl Performance; Drain's National Baseball Toga Among 1958 Sports Highlights Portland - OD - Oregon's great performance in the Rose Bowl, a national champion ship for Drain and a record high school mile were among the top state sports stories of 1958. Names like Jack Crabtree, Ted Bates, Terry Baker, Dy rol Burleson, Ray Stratton, Dave Gambee and Bob Patter son were prominent in the headlines. Coach Len Casanova's Ore gon football team, a three touchdown underdog, lost 10 7 to Ohio State in the Rose Bowl, and won the admir ation of the nation for its great showing. Crabtree, who completed 10 passes to end Ron Stover, was picked as the outstanding player of the game. The Drain Black Sox, man aged by Stratton, went back to Wichita and came home with the national non-professional baseball title.' Mile Mark -Cracked Burleson, of Cottage Grove, broke the national high school mile record with a time of 4:13.2 at Corvallis. Later he entered the University of Oregon, which won its fifth straight Northern division track title under Bill Bower man. Bates, Oregon State's tackle, was picked on the United Press International Ail-American football team. The death from leukemia of Buzz Ran dall, OSC's great center, was a tragic blow to the Beavers' football team. LA Has Role Of Capital For Sports By HAL WOOD Los Angeles - (UPD - If this isn't the sports capital of the world, it will do until some thing better comes along. Today in the Los Angeles area. 100,000 fans will see the Rose Bowl game at Pasa dena. Another 40,000 will attend the horse races at Santa Anita park. Sunday the $40,000 Los An geles Open Golf tournament will get under way and in four days upwards of 50,000 fans will see the competi tion. And so It goes in smog land the year around. Indi cations are that within two years, when pro basketball and pro hockey hit the sports mad area, the saturation point will be reached. Everybody Is a Fan Last year an estimated 10, 000,000 persons attended sports events in the area. Of these, 1,845.000 attended the Dodger baseball games; and 4,608,919 went to various types of horse racing -thoroughbred, pacers, trotters and quarter-horses. There were more champion ship fights staged in Los An geles last year than in any city in the world. Attendance for these passed the 237,000 mark. "The fight business is so good in Los Angeles," says Truman Gibson, president of the International Boxing club, "we plan to take many more championship shows there again in 1959." Right now there isn't a major league spot in which to play basketball and hockey. However, this oversight will be corrected when the coli seum sports arena is complet ed this year. It will have a capacity of 22,000. Two Major Stadia Los Angeles probably is the only region in the world with two stadia that seat more than 100.000 - the Coliseum and the Rose Bowl. There are a flock of "little" stadia which seat 15,000 to 25,000, such as Wrigley Field, home of the old Los Angeles Angels. The two race tracks, Santa Anita and Hollywood Park, have an average of 100 days of major league thorough bred racing every year be tween them. They follow the pacers and trotters at each park. Track and field usually draws nothing except for the Olympic Games at most cities in U. S. But in Los Angeles, the Coliseum relays annually attract 35,000 to 40,000 fans. It is probable that more persons participate in sports in the area than any city in the world. With a fine year 'round climate, untold hun dreds of thousands play golf, swim, fish, hunt, etc., from January through December. It's a sports-happy town and when such big days as the Rose Bowl, Hollywood Gold Cup, Santa Anita handicap or the "big game" between USC and UCLA roll around, the -.hysteria, abounds .unchecked. Gambee, Oregon State's star now with the St. Louis Hawks, led the Beavers to a ti with California for the PCC basketball crown. Patterson, a Portland golf er, reached the semi-finals of the National Public Links tourney before losing to Dan Sikes Jr., the champion. There were dozens of out standing individual and team performances. Summing up by sports: Baseball; The Portland Bea vers, under Tommy Heath, bounced back from the cel lar to finish fourth in the PCL. Oregon State won the Linksmen Friday In Los Angeles tUPD The lead ers in the no'y firmly en trenched golf youth move ment including Dow Finster wald and Ken Venturi, tee off Friday with a 100-plus field in the opening round of the $40,000 Los Angeles Open. The tourney is one of the richest of the year and the first of the winter for the play-for-pay men. The 72-hole contest, to be played on Rancho Municipal Course, was won last year by Frank Stranahan, the Toledo, O., performer whose golf and temper mellow with the years. He played some of his finest golf here last year. Finsterwald, Tequesta, Fla., had the best round of all in the pro-celebrity tournament Tuesday a five-under par 66. The "Golfer of the Year," an other young player, who came into his own in the mid 1950s, usually ranks among the top three money winners in any tourney. Venturi, San Francisco, shot a 71 in a warmup round yes terday, sinking a hole-in-one on the 165-yard seventh hole. John Doyle, Ex-Giant Pilot, Dies Holyoke, Mass. -(LTD John Doyle, a prominent figure in baseball before the turn of the century, died Wednesday night at the age of 89 after suffering a heart attack earlier in the day. Doyle, former manager of the New York Giants and the Washington Senators, is sur vived by his sister, Miss Nora Doyle. He managed the Giants in 1895 and the Senators in 1898 after 17 years as a major league baseball player. For the past 28 years Doyle has been a scout for the Chicago Cubs. "Sometimes," he once said, "I think I get as much enjoy ment out of scouting for new, young players-watching them perform-as I did in playing back in the early 1900 s." During his playing days, Doyle was a catcher and first baseman for Washington, Bal timore, Brooklyn, the - Cubs and the Giants.- League Shoot Starts Sunday At Gun Club Medford Gun N club will start its six-weeks league trapshoot on Sunday, Jan. 4, with six teams taking part.

AUT 4 345 North Central STORE HOURS: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. - Monday thru Saturday 9 a.m. fo 4 Wyoming Winner in Sun Bow! El Paso, Tex. - (UPD -Wyoming Coach Bob Devaney knew what he was talking about when he said the Sun Bowl football game "very well" could be decided in the line. That's exactly what hap pened Wednesday. Wyoming beat Hardin-Simmons 14-6 on a pass inter ception and a recovered fum ble - both by linemen and fought off threat after threat by Hardin-Simmons. Hardin-Simmons was famed for its passing attack, but the smaller but speedier Wyo ming line repeatedly rushed the passers, forcing the Tex ans to complete only 11 of 23 passes for only 82 yards. Plenty of Power Hardin-Simmons sent plen ty of power into its line plays, featuring fullback Pete Hart and halfbacks Joe Al len and Dewey Bohling. But none broke away with any consistency and the team got only 153 yards on the ground. Wyoming was bottled up by Hardin-Simmons' much heavier line, too, but managed to use the two breaks to move quickly for second quarter touchdowns. - . . And it was only fitting that a lineman, Wyoming guard, Len Kuczew;ski, .was named the game's most valuable player. Kuczewski edged out Hardin-Simmons tackle Ted Edmondson. It was the first time on the game's 24 year history that a lineman was so honored.'
