Newspaper Page TextMAIL TRIBUNE, Medfortf, Or. Monday, May 18, 1959 Meet Set To Settle Bowl Issue Chicago - (CPD - Hardly any chance remained Saturday that the Big Ten would vote to save its agreement to play annually in the Rose Bowl at the final official balloting this week. The spring conference meet ing, opening at Michigan Thursday, will settle the issue in a vote either Thursday or Friday. Five schools have gone on record as opposed to a new bowl contract and five favor a new agreement. A 5-5 deadlock, however, would kill the proposal since the balloting technically will be on an amentment to con ference rules to permit par ticipation in the game and a tie would prohibit the amend ment. Once in the four previous votes on the Rose Bowl, which has been approved each time by the barest mar gin possible, the bowl agree ment was saved when one of the opponents, Minnesota, ab stained from voting rather than cast a "no" ballot. This time it was .unlikely any member would abstain. The presidents of the five schools whose faculties have voted against the bowl, Northj western, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio State and Minnesota, have indicated to United Press International that they presume a "no" vote will be cast. '. Though there is strong sen timent among some confer ence powers favoring a new bowl agreement, should one of the "no" schools change its position, it would be liable, to requests for proof that the .faculty controls athletics. Atkinson Golf Victor Cornelius, Ore. - (CPD -Bob Atkinson Jr. of Portland can ned a 15-foot putt on the 18th hole to finish with a 147 and win the . Oregon Champion of Champions golf tournament Sunday. , Roy Wiggins of Oswego was second in the 36-hole event with a 148. Sid Mllligan, Eugene, had 149; Bill Prentiss of the home Forest Hills course had a 152 and Sam Cavalli of Portland had 153.

Compressor I Delivered SP 2-5271 Aaron Lengthens Swatting Streak To 2 1 Tilts in Row By FRED DOWN United Press International Hank Aaaron's bat is the hottest thing in baseball to day unless you're talking about Joe Gordon's ears. Aaron stretched his hitting streak to 21 games and kept his batting average at .484 Sunday when the Milwaukee Braves beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 8 to 3. Hammering Hank broke a 2-2 tie with a two-run homer in the fifth inning and also contributed a single to Milwaukee's 14-bit attack. Such devastating clutch hit ting has the Braves 2Vz games in front in the National league race-by far their best position at this stage of a pennant race in three years. They trailed after 29 games by Wz in 1958 and by two games in 1957. Sticks With Pitcher But you could light a cou ple of matches on Gordon's ears because of the job the second-guessers are doing on him in the aftermath of the Cleveland Indians' Sunday doubleheader split with the Baltimore Orioles. Gordon came under fire for stacking with rookie reliever Jim Per ry in an 8-7, 11-inning open ing game loss even though the Indians rebounded to take the nightcap, 8-3, and retain their half-game lead in the Ameri can league. Gordon stuck with Perry, recent hero of a Cleveland victory over the New York Yankees, even though he served up a three-run ninth inning homer to Gus Trian dos that tied the score. Then, with relief ace Dick Brodow ski ready in the bullpen, he stuck with Perry again as he filled the bases with two hits and a walk and then walked Bill Klaus to force in the win ning run. Chisox Streak Ends The San Francisco Giants took over second place by beating the Cincinnati Reds, 9- 1, and the Pittsburgh Pi rates split with the Chicago Cubs in the other National league games. The Pirates won the first game, 5-4, but the Cubs came back to take the nightcap, 7-6. The Chicago White Sox beat the Washington Senators, 10- 7, after their eight-game winning streak was ended, 4-2, in the opener; the Yanks their, opener, 3-2, but were humiliated, 10-0, by the Kan sas City Athletics in the sec ond game and the Boston Red Sox beat the Detroit Tigers, 10-1, in other American league activity. A crowd, of 49,347 at Los Angeles saw Lew Burdette game and win nis sixm de cision with an eight-hitter. Battery mate Del Crandall, playing before Fullerton, Calif., townfolk, homered and had three singles for the Braves. Commit Seven Errors Perry's sloppy pitching was the climax of a real "married men vs. single men" sandlot game in which the Indians made three errors, the Orioles made four and only seven of 15 runs were earned. ' Vic Power drove in three runs with a single and triple in the nightcap. Andre Rodgers hit two homers and Willie Mays had a homer and a double to lead a JO-hit San Francisco attack that enabled Stu Miller to breeze to his second victory. Bill Mazeroski drove in three runs with two homers to help Pittsburgh's Vera Law to his third victory and Ernie COt 'CRETE C9 248 E. McAndrews Rd. Banks hit his ninth as Chi cago's Glen Robbie picked up his fifth triumph. Killebrew Homers Twice Pedro Ramos ended the White Sox' streak with a five hitter with the aid of homers by Jim Lemon and Reno Ber toia but Washington couldn't manage a sweep In the night cap although Harmon Kille brew belted his 13th and 14th homers. Bob Grim pitched a two hitter and Dick Williams slammed a three-run homer for the Athletics after the Yankees pulled out the open er with a three-run ninth inning rally. Dick Gernert hit a 'homer and three singles and Marty Keough also homered as the Red Sox snapped a five-game losing streak.

Tornado Plays Pels; Crater, Ashland Vie Three games on Tuesday lead off the final week of regular competition for Southern Oregon conference baseball teams. ' Medford high will play a doubleheader at Klamath Tails tomorrow and Crater will be host to Ashland in a 4 pjn. single game at Cheney field at the south edge of Medford. ' Crater, Ashland and Klam ath Falls are out of the run ning for the conference and District 6 A-l titles but Med ford seeks to clinch the cham pionship. The Black Tornado can do this by defeating either Klamath Falls on Tues day or Crater in a game at Cheney field on Friday, after noon. Neither the Pelicans of KF nor the Comets of Crater would mind being spoiTers. Medford is 6-0 as leader of the. loop while Grants Pass is 6-2 in second place and would tie for the "crown should Klamath and Crater both spill the Tornado. The Cavemen of GP are finished with their regular season. Another Medford ambition is to stretch its victory total to 20 this week. The Tornado has 16 wins now and its rec ord includes a tie and five setbacks for the full season to date.

After the spine-tingling run at Pimlico Saturday which carried Royal Orbit from dead last to a four-length triumph, their optimism appeared justi fied. It will be tested fully when Royal Orbit returns to com petition in the Peter Pan handicap on June 6 and a week later shoots for the third jewel in racing's Triple Crown -the Belmont Stakes. Only bad racing luck denied this copper-coated speed demon a clean sweep of . the golden diadem, they now firmly are convinced. ' Royal Orbit finished fourth in the Kentucky Derby be hind Tomy Lee, Sword Danc er and First Landing. " "'Every time Royal Orbit tried to move in the Derby he was stopped," trainer Reggie Cornell said. "He got hit pretty good on the first turn and clobbered again on the second. He never got loose until the eighth pole and he was only beaten about three lengths. "The chartsays Royal Or bit was 15 lengths out of it at the five-eighths pole but I'll swear it was closer to 20. Look how many lengths he made up without a chance to run. Here he did."
