" , A regular last year, Peek was delayed in getting into shape this season by appen dectomy. He had the opera ' tion the first week he turned out for hoop practice after a long football season. In the last couple of weeks he has shown consistency and spark in drills and his fire, floor leadership and experience were elements in the Tornado triumph over Grants Pass last week end. After playing Klamath to night the Medford club come home for a Saturday night league skirmish with Crater on the Hedrick Junior high Earl Blaik Lonely End Secret Told By TIM MORIARTY New York-JUPD-College foot ball's best kept secret - how does Army's "lonely end" re ceive his signals-was divulged for the first time Thursday night by its creator, Earl (Red) Blaik. The Cadets outgoing head coach let the cat out of the bag during an off-the-cuff speech before members of the Touchdown club of New York, who honored him "for his long and meritorious serv ice to college football" at their silver anniversary din ner. The 61-year-old coach ex plained how end Bill Carpen ter always knew what play quarterback Joe Caldwell had called. "If you recall. Caldwell al ways had a towel attached to his pants," Blaik said. "He would take the . towel and massage it before each play. All he was doing was wiping his hands. His hands per spired a lot. "But if you watched Cald well closely-and a lot of peo . pie did-you noticed for ex ample when lined up facing ' the huddle, his two feet were , in different position. If his f feet were parallel-or in a closed stance-it meant a run. If his left foot was forward, it also meant a run. But if his right foot was forward, ; it meant a pass. "All you had was a pass or 'run, and there you have it." Blaik then went on to ex plain that additional informa ' tion was transmitted to the , lonely end by another man, advising the end which route ' to take downfield on each : play. These signals were ; transmitted by a player touch ing his helmet, rubbing his nose -or grabbing his jersey. Swain Chosen On Third Team Of All-American Oklahoma City (UPD Bill Swain, tackle from North ; Bend.

Other week end league action has Grants Pass and Crater at Central Point this evening and Ashland at Grants Pass on Saturday. Big Chance Medford eyes a big oppor tunity this week end that of taking over the league leadership. Coach Frank Roe landt pronounced his Tornado squad in good physical shape and said "I just hope we are ready." In addition to Peek, he'll likely start Jerry An derson, George Koch, Lowell Dean and Booth Deakins. Possible Klamath Falls op eners are Bob Peterson, Bob Lewis, Jim Hill, Dean Dun son and Don DeLap. Medford and KF sopho mores vie at 5:30 pjn. and jayvee teams at 6:30 p.m. with the main fray set for eight At Crater Coach Don Anie- lak said that he may choose his week end starters from among Bill White, Mike King, Chuck Turner, John Burns, Dennis Pfaff and Wayne Al len. The Comets, who have a chance to get back into the chase, have had run-shoot-run drills this week. The mentor indicated that Crater has worked to strengthen its back board play. Dave Sharp, who has been starting for Crater, has been on the sick list. Anderson Leading For Ashland against Grants Pass on Saturday, Coach Earl Iba could begin with Don Archie-Ray Tilt Sought New York -UPD Promoter Teddy Brenner sought the lush Archie Moore-Ray Rob inson title fight today because of a threatened breach be tween Sugar Ray and the In ternational Boxing club. Brenner, promoter of the Monday night fights at St. Nicholas Arena, said, "I want that match. It'll draw a mil lion dollars at Yankee Sta dium. Middleweight champion Robinson angrily disclosed Thursday night that he is bat tling the IBC over movie money from his last two title bouts with ex-champion Car men Basilio. He said the IBC figures for his end were "ridiculous," and that if he didn't get his proper share, he would bring suit against the IBC and Unit ed Artists, the distributor. "The IBC was supposed to be protecting me and Basilio in this movie matter," he ex plained tartly. "And now, if I find for sure they haven't protected us, I'll never fight for Truman Gibson and the IBC again." Don Jordan Halts Rival Los Angeles -flJPD- Don Jor dan's manager disclosed plans for the lanky champion's next non-title bout today, but hedged on whether the Ge ronimo Kid will duck out on a contracted rematch with former champion Virgil Akins. Bespectacled Don Nesseth, elated over Jordan's impres sive third round knockout of Alvaro Gutierrez Thursday night, said the 24-year-old champion will appear in an over - the - weight 10-rounder sometime next month in Oak land, Calif. Referee Mushy Callahan ended Jordan's first start as champion at 1:35 of the third when Gutierrez' manager, Lupe Sanchez, leaped into the ring to save his fighter from unnecessary punishmeritl Taylor, Doug Forrest, Jim Bjork, Clark Smith and Bob Johnson. However, Taylor is still getting over a bum ankle and is not expected to be used just sparingly. Bob Hardy and Steve Gray could see quite a bit of duty. Iba said the Grizzlies have been work ing a little better, this week. For Grants Pass Jerry Put nam, Rex Benner, John Ol son, Dick Hayes and Mike Leonard may be starters with Rick Sabin possibly seeing a lot of service. Big John Fox, a regular and top rebounder, hurt his knee in the Medford game last week end. Whether he'll play any at all- this week was not learned here.

The steady Gophers, who have moved gradually and unexpectedly into a four-way tie for the lead, meet Michi gan State Saturday and take on Illinois in their second big chance on Monday night. The Gophers will have the home court advantage in both games. A victory Saturday night would topple the Spartans from a share of 'first place, leaving the Gophers with a 4-1 record and the Spartans with a 3-2 slate. Illinois and Michigan also share the lead with the Go phers and Spartans. But Mich igan is idle and the Illini are scheduled for non-league hos tilities against Notre Dame in a Chicago stadium clash.

The win gave the Oregon ians a 3-3 mark and put them in a tie for fourth in the loop race. And since every team in the league has lost at least twice, the win was a key one for the Beavers' title hopes. Oregon State faces cellar dwelling Washington State (1-5) tonight in the only PCC action. Cage play is compar tively light in the West dur ing the next two week ends since many schools are hold ing midterm examinations. The 87 points were the highest ever made by Oregon State in a conference game. Its previous record was 84 in 1947 against Washington. Harman's 33 points tied his personal career high, equaled against Iowa at Corvallis in December. The six-foot guard handled most of the scoring for the Beavers in the last six minutes and pulled OSC ahead after the Vandals had knotted the game 80-80 with two minutes remaining. Harman scored five points on free throws to ice the game. The Vandals, however, pressed OSC through three quarters of the contest and tied the score four times. On three other occasions they were trailing by only one point and late in the game led 78-74 before Haitian led the Beavers back.. The Beavers used a full court press in the- first half, but discarded it until late-in game when they stalled the Vandals with an effective zone. Idaho lost four of its five starters in the last seven min utes on fouls and played the game out with three third stringers. Vandal forward John Liveious and guard Whaylon Coleman topped V a n d a 1 scorersWith 22 each. In a key PCC tussle Satur day, Washington will meet Oregon. The game should tell whether the Huskies (3-3) are really on the comeback trail after a disappointing start, or whether the team's high pre season ratings were unjusti fied.
