8 MAIL TRIBUNE, MtdforJ, Or. WadiMtday, July 29, 1959 Versatility In Raider Grid Attack Ashland Though lacking individual stars, Al Akins' Southern Oregon college foot ball Red Raiders, operating from a split wing formation, could be one of the toughest hurdles to top in the Oregon Collegiate Conference this fall. Adkins, whose team will meet the University of Ha waii Sept. 17 in Medford for its first game, explained, "The split wing is a combination of the split T and the single wing which makes for plenty of versatility in attack with resultant thrills for the spec tators." Coach Adkins continued with a chuckle, "I've done a lot of work during the past year on redesigning our fam ous Southern Oregon college spread, and I've talked to a lot of folks who've traveled for a long way to see it and it's well-worthing using two or three times a season even if we never make a yard on it!" When questioned about the team's chances for the coming season, Adkins pointed out that he had a "half and half club, meaning that he could field an entire team of vet erans or an entire team of newcomers. The mentor was onick to mention that his vet erans,, though well-seasoned in a number of respects, were not holdovers from any cham pionship aggregation, and his new men, though showing promise, were largely an un known quantity. Expected to spearbead the offense this season arm backs Eldon Francis, Medford; Gor don Carrigan, Central Point; Laval Meunier, Medford; Del Brood, Phoenix; and quarter back veterans. Lance Locke, Ashland; and Jack Brown, Medford. Among experienced offen sive lineman are Phil Sword, Ashland; Troy Bellah, North Bend; Jim Tachinni, Henley; Bud Brittson, Medford; and two fast-developing ends, Jim McAbee, Talent; and Punk Biddington, Roseburg. Red Raiders defenses will depend largely upon veterans Rick Smith, Reedsport; Pedro Colley, Klamath Falls; Neil Green, Crater; Norm Hedge peth. Grants Pass; Jim Mc Abee, and linebackers, Willie Garner, Phoenix, and Phil Sword, Ashland. Displaying much potential are such players as Bud Mau pin, Merrill; Mike Sparlin, Grants Pass; Jim Clark, Med ford; Wayne Allen, Central Point; Clark Peterson, Cot tage Grove; Kerman Bennett, Central Point; Damion Ros setto, Weed; Jim Perkins, Cot tage Grove and Al Barnes, Central Point and a host of others. Adkins said that he is expecting nearly 60 men to show for the first practice ses sion of the season. The SOC contingent has a rough schedule. It will square off against the University of Hawaii, Sept. 17; Chico State, Sept. 26; Linfield, Oct. 3; Port land State, Oct. 10; Oregon Technical Institute, Oct. 17; Oregon College of Education, Oct. 24; Eastern Oregon, Oct. 31; Eastern Oregon, Nov. 7 in the Myrtle Bowl, and against Humboldt, Nov. 14.

Phwi SP 3-4293 DAILY'S U-DRIVE Medford Airport nounced Monday in New York by William Shea on the eve of the Senate anti-trust and monopoly subcommittee's first hearing on bills to give major professional team sports at least partial exemption from the anti-trust laws. Frick was called to give baseball's official views on two differing legislative pro posals, one by Sen. Kenneth B. Keating (R-N.Y.) and the other by subcommittee Chair man Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.). Organized sports leaders last year backed a similar bill by Keating which passed the House but died in the Senate. Would Exempt Sports The New York Republican's measure would exempt pro fessional baseball, basketball, hockey and football from the anti-trust laws except in their business aspects. Kefauver's bill would place baseball under the anti-trust laws on the same basis with the other three sports. But it would exempt the strictly non-business aspects of the sports, including their rights of contract with players. However, Kefauver propos es a limit of 80 on the number of players any team could keep under its control and would make any agreements to limit radio-television broad casts subject to approval by the Federal Communications Commission. Pro football Commissioner Bert Bell Tuesday endorsed the Keating bill and the main provisions of Kefauver's pro posal. But he objected to a Kefauver proposal to require written consent of athletes be fore they could be drafted and also the broadcasting section. Modern Equipment! Speedy Delivery!
