'. Boosting a squad of 21 re l turning lettermen, the Uni IWersity of Hawaii will come ,to Medford to battle the Red -t Raiders of SOC on Sept. 19 in I their first grid contest of the !year. The game is being spon sored by the Medford Active ;club. The game with the visiting Rainbows from the 50th state appears to be a natural so ;far as the Oregon Centennial lis concerned. It will pit Ore tgon, 100 years old, against Hawaii, in its first year as a , state. Modified T - Hawaii racked up a 4-7 record in 1958 when they won .over San Jose State 8-6, Hawaii nams nawau Marines 12-8, and Idaho State ' 40-19. Kentucky, Arizona State,- San. Diego Marines, , Hawaii Marines, Hawaii ' Rams, ' Humboldt State, and Utah registered victories over the Rainbows. . Hawaii, under the hand of coach Henry Vasconcellos, ' uses a modified T formation offense as opposed to the split wing of Southern Oregon. This difference according to , Raider mentor Al Akins ' should make for a greater va ,'riety in spectator viewing i. and make the game consider . ably more interesting.

Ttyo 'years, ago the Raiders met jthe same team on a similar condition with the Red and j Black . emerging with a 21-19 i victory after a 19-0 half-time ii deficit. v Following the Hawaii I fracas, the Raiders will meet -IChico State college in Chico jon Sept. 26 with a game 'against Linfield to follow in McMinnville on Oct. 3.

D'Amato Called In Boxing Probe New York-flJPD-Custer (Cos) D'Amato, manager of heavy weight Floyd Patterson, was scheduled to testify today be fore the "boxing grand jury concerning what he knows about the promotional set-up of the June 26 title fight be tween Patterson and Ingemar Johansson. " D'Amato, a central figure in the maneuvers preceding the bout,5 was questioned Wednes day in the office of district at torney Frank Hogan, who said D'Amato would testify before the grand jury today. The jury, studying the gen eral subject . of underworld influence in . boxing, has switched its attention to the circumstances surrounding the promotion of the Patterson Johansson fight. The actual bout, in which Johansson knocked out Patterson to win the heavyweight crown, is not under investigation.

The ring's all-time knock out king and record-equalling light - heavyweight defender will receive a guaranteed $175,000 for belting out Ca nadian Durelle Wednesday night at 2:52 of the third round, and he wants to pick up "a couple hundred thou sand" in September and Oc tober fights in Argentina and Brazil. Manager Jack Kearns has relayed to heavyweight ruler Johansson the offer of a one million dollar guarantee to defend against 43-year-old Moore. In Kearns' cable to Johansson at Goteborg, -Sweden, he said the million guar antee would be in a bank when Ingemar signs for the defense. Kearns declined to identify for the press the "very im portant Canadian, and Amer ican interests" he says will put up the guarantee but pre dicted ' a Moore - Johansson fight would draw a three mil lion dollar gate. Eager to Meet Ingemar "Certainly I'd like to fight Johansson, Moore said, "but right now I want to get busy with South American fights. Yes, I may make a defense down there." ;. ' ' Another successful defense would break the record he equalled Wednesday night be fore 11,555 at the Montreal Forum, where his eighth de fense tied the 175 pound di vision's mark set by Maxie Rosenbloom. .. Archie stretched his all- time, all -division knockout record to 128 Wednesday night when he floored 29- year-old Durelle four times in the third round for a kayo that was counted out by ref eree Jack Sharkey - with heartbroken Durelle flat on his back. Moore, weighing 174V4 pounds for. their return title fight, shook up the British Empire, champion seven times in the first round with sneak er rights and one left-right combination. And Archie had the better of the hard fighting in the v second session, al though one , of the 'three judges thought Durelle won that round. .

Otto Graham, head coach of the All Stars, believes it will be a "miracle," if his rookies succeed. But he added that if the Colts play in hum drum fashion, then the colle gians, could wind ' up with their second straight triumph and their ninth of the series. "It's no secret that we've got to throw to win the game," Graham said. "We've got good receivers and I be lieve good passers, and I don't think that anyone can figure to run too well against those horses they've got playing on the line on defense. "Of course, a lot depends on our offensive line too. If we can't keep those horses, out of our backfield, we're not going to have time to throw. If we can't protect the passer, maybe we can't pass." c :' 0 e m . Here's real saying on lawn and garden tools and supplies. Buy for now or for your fall yard and garden work.
