Good Hustle
At Crater
Central Point - Pretty good
hustle, even during calisthen
ics, has been noted on the
Crater High school football
squad m drills so far.
Coach Leonard Warren said
that 35 to 40 players have
turned out for the varsity
crew. There are another 22
on the freshman squad. It
had been planned to have the
frosh turned out later but it
was decided that the addi
tional turnouts could be han
dled, Warren reported. He
said that the boys now iresn
men would be a big help to
the Comets next year when
fw seniors will be available.
It's strictly fundamentals
and conditioning so far in the
practices at 9 a jn. and 7 p.m.
Work is mostly on machines
and dummies with very little
live contact. The Comets will
not workout on Saturday this
week, according to Warren.
The big intrasquad scrimmage
is set for Friday, Sept. 4.
With the exception of Dar
rell Williamson, a tackle, who
is expected to turn out short
ly, all eligible lettermen from
last year are on hand.

U.S. Hurting on Eve
Of Pan Am Rivalry
By LEO H. PETERSEN
UPI Sports Editor
Chicago - (UPD - The United
States was hurting in more
ways than one today, on the
eve of the opening of the third
Pan American games.
They were hurting prestige
wise and also athletic-wise,
the latter being the reason
these games were inaugurated
back in 1951.
In the prestige league, the
U. S. way of doing things
wasn't exactly what the doc
tor ordered so far as most of
the other 23 North and South
American nations competing
in the games were concerned.
The grumblings, which first
started when the vanguard of
almost 1,700 athletes from the
competing countries outside
the United States arrived last
week, were increasing.
Chances Decreasing
Meanwhile, the U.S. chances
of .spread-eagling the field
athletically were decreasing.
Injuries and late arrivals fig
ured to keep the U. S. team
from full strength.
In the decathlon, in which
the U. S. was counting on
sweeping the gold, silver and
bronze medals, it looked like
Mike Herman of New York
university would be lost to
the host forces. He suffered
an ankle injury in practice
and the U. S. team trainers
said there was little chance
he would be able to compete.
In the pole vault, Don Bragg
of Villanova had an infected
heel and there was doubt
whether he would be in the
best of condition when the
athletic competition of these
games opens on Friday a
day after the formal official
opening ceremonies.
Added to that was the fact
that at least 20 of the 404
members of the U. S. team
still were absent and were
not scheduled to appear until
Friday because of summer
school examinations or other
commitments. So lacking the
practice usually mapped out
for the athletes, there was a
Promoter
Accused as
Front Man
New York -(DPD- Fight pro
moter Vincent J. Velella i re
turns from Sweden today
with signed contracts for a
$3 million Johansson - Patter
son rematch to find himself
accused of being just a "front
man" for a missing mobster.
The mysterious mobster,
previously known only as
"Mr. X" in the grand jury's
boxing investigation, was
identified by Dist. Atty. Frank
Hogan as Anthony (Fat Tony)
Salerno-an associate of noto
rious underworld characters.
Hogan said his detectives
had unsuccessfully sought Sa
lerno for two weeks as al
leged undercover financial
backer of the June 26 fight
in which Ingemar Johansson
of Sweden won the world
heavyweight champio n s h i p
from Floyd Patterson on a
third-round knockout.
Just as the grand jury com
pleted its investigation of the
June fight promotion Tues
day, Velella - at Goteborg,
Sweden-finally got Johnsson
to sign new contracts for next
year's return bout with Pat
terson, after three days of
Goteborg negotiations and
two months of incredible con
fusion. The fight will be staged
somewhere In the United
States, between March 1 and
June 15. Los Angeles, Phila
delphia and Houston, Tex.,
have been bidding for it, with
guarantees ranging from
$750,000 to $1,000,000. -
question of whether ' they
would be in top shape.
Despite it all, however, the
U. S. still was heavily favored
to win the unofficial team
title of the games, expected
to serve as a prelude to the
U. S. chances in the 1960
Olympics at Rome.
In the grumbling . depart
ment, the U. S. itself was in
volved. It seems that officials
of the games forgot to notify
all of the U. S. delegation
that the official flag raising
ceremony for the U. S. quar
ters at the housing village on
the University . of Chicago
campus was scheduled to be
held Tuesday afternoon. Sev
eral of the U. S. executives
showed up, were left standing
in the hot sun until it was
decided to re-schedule the flag
raising ceremony for 11 a.m.
today so all U. S. officials
could be present.
SPORTS
95 Issued
MHS Grid
Uniforms
Medford High school's foot
ball squad probably will hold
its first scrimmage this Satur
day morning, head coach Fred
Spiegelberg has reported.
Each player likely will see
about one-half hour of action,
he said.
A total of 95 uniforms have
been issued to Black Tornado
grid candidates. Turnout for
each of the workouts has ay
eraged about 85 youths.
In addition to conditioning
drills, there has been a lot of
group work with offensive
fundamentals getting the em
phasis. Spiegelberg said that
line aspirants have been work
ing at individual blocking.
Backs have drilled at ball
handling and ball carrying
and have run through plays
to improve timing.
New plays have been added
each day to the Tornado of
fense and the squad has run
through them in dummy
scrimmage.
Thirty of the 32 lettermen
who'll be in school this year
have been on hand for drills.
The squad includes nine boys,
mostly sophomores, who were
on the Jacksonville high var
sity as freshmen last "year.
Jacksonville and Medford dis
tricts have since consolidated
and students from Jackson
ville will attend high school
here.
Missing so far from 'among
the lettermen are Pat Mc
Laughlin, center, who suffered
a leg injury last spring at
Beaver Boys State, and Doug
Kliever, a center, who may
not turn out this fall.
. The squad will be lighter
this year than in 1958, accord
ing to Spiegelberg. Gordon
Pathman, tackle, and Lowell
Dean, end, both down to
around 195 after this week's
workouts, are heaviest on the
squad, the mentor said. .
Practices' are at 9:30 a.m.
