Field Goals
Thumped
By Morris
Redlands, Calif.-fllPD-Coach
Sid Gillman of the Los Ange
les Rams today expressed sat
isfaction of the football team
following its easy 34-21 vic
tpry Saturday night over the
Chicago Cardinals.
The Rams rolled to a 14-7
halftime lead against the
Cardinals with second string
quarterback Frank Ryan call
ing the signals.
Gillman was reluctant to
single any one player out for
praise but of Ryan he said:
"He is a National Football
league quarterback. He's a
real fine understudy to Bill
Wade." Wade went in for the
second half and led the of
fense up and down the field
nearly at will.
The Rams presently are
carrying 44 players. Under
-league rules they must be
down to 42 players by Sept.
8 and down to 35, the maxi
mum, by Sept. 22.
15 & 26-Yard Boots

Done-vard Dlunee by Ryan in
pthe first quarter, then col
lected their other scores on:
hundred yards.
Then, Gilchrist's 32 surged
and pulled even with Miles
midway down the strip. Both
drivers shifted into high gear
and raced toward the finish
line. Miles gunned his 34 to
a one wheel win over Gil
christ as reported by the
judges. Both machines had
turned close to 100 mph dur
ing time trials.

Chuck Strawn, Medford, al

heat race. Strawn roared off
the line and built up an early
lead over the A-competition
coupe. Midway down the strip
Zombie came to life and
started to close the gap. Zom
bie has tremendous accelera
tion at high speed and Knipps
finally caught the sleek A
class cycle just before it reach
ed the finish line. Strawn lost
by a wheel but had earlier
turned 107.01 to capture his
class trophy.
Little eliminator honors
went to Don Horton, Rose
burg, driving a Corvette. He
was victorious in edging a
host of stock and gas class
winners to garner the trophy.

1959 University of Oregon

MacKay, Fraser Vie
In Net Cup Decider
By CONNIE RYAN
Forest Hills, N. Y. (UPD
Barry MacKay, celebrating
his 24th birthday, could make
a present of the Davis Cup to
the United States if he de
feated Australia's Neale
Fraser today when the two
tennis stars resumod their de
cisive singles match in the
1959 challenge round.
Each won one set on the
center court at the West Side
Tennis club Sunday before
darkness forced them to halt.
Their match, now reduced to
a best-of-three struggle, re
sumed this afternoon.
MacKay, on leave from the
U. S. Air Force, admitted a
victory over Fraser would
be "the biggest birthdav Dres-
ent I could ask for." How
ever, the Dayton, Ohio, iant
was pitted against an eauallv
powerful swinger who is the
No. 1 player in tennis mad
Australia.
Australia started Sundav's
final two singles matches in
the best-of-five series with a
2-1 lead, but Alex Olmedo,
the lean, moody Peruvian
wno won the cup for the U.S.
last year, regained enough of
his form to beat left-handed
Rod Laver in a record 66
game four sets, 9-7, 4-6, 10-8,
12-10. That match took 3
hours and 25 minutes, and it
was after 6 p.m. when Mac
Kay and Fraser took the
court.
Fraser took the first set,
8-6, but MacKay won the
second, 6-3. Aussie team Cap
tain Harry Hopman had been
confident Fraser could win,
explaining that "Barry never
will break Neale's service,
but Neale will break
Barry's."
In the first set that pre
diction held up well. Fraser
held service easily for the
most part, while MacKay was
spotty.
But Fraser quickly got into
trouble in the second set and
committed two double-faults
as he was broken in . the
second game. Barry never let
him recover.
