Not that Plumley already has swept all-America ac claim, for he hasn't. With his junior grid season just around the corner and still another campaign as a senior ahead, that conceivably could come in due course. It's the amazing versatility of this handsome young giant that pleases OSC followers most - even those not overly interested in athletics. Plumley will be a first string tackle in football. There's no question of that. And track coach Sam Bell will tell you that Neil has a great chance to repeat as nor thern division shotput cham pion next spring, after win ning the title quite easily the last time around. Then talk to some of the Liston Foe Of Machen nrh mPII - Sonnv Liston, the big bomber from the East, and Eddie Machen, the classy power puncher from the West, meet in a 12 round elimination bout here j :-ut ...hioVi chmttrl nroduce the next challenger for the heavyweight title. Liston, who has lost but one of 31 pro fights and has kay oed 21 of his victims, includ ing the last nine in a row, is the number one contender for the crown. Machen, a winner in 34 of his 37 matches and owner of 20 knockouts, is rat ed number two. A 10-round welterweight go between Phil Moyer, a neph ew of the promoter and Cecil Shorts also is on the card. classroom professors at Ore gon State. Enrolled In the much-respected school of bus iness and technology, the Medford athlete pulled down a 3.83 grade point average last spring. In the winter quarter it was 3.67, and his all-around GPA reads 3.42. Beavers Fortunate In view of the fact that a 4.0 is perfect, with all A's, Plumley is somewhere be tween B-plus and A as a scholastic risk. He's accom plished all this while drilling for football all fall and for track much of the winter and spring. Neil started capturing headlines while only a prep per at Medford High school. He broke the state shotput record, and hoisted plenty of opposing football linemen out of the way as well. A good number of schools sought his services when it came time for a college decision. Fortunately for the Beav ers, he chose Oregon State. As a sophomore lineman last fall, he picked up 268V4 minutes of playing time - far more than the average neo phyte - and was uncjerstudy to dependable Howard Ho gan, a three-year veteran. Some said he needed to "throw his weight around more," or get a little mad once in awhile. In any event, he looked good. He's even better this fall. United Prii ltitim9tlnn3i NATIONAL LEAGUE W. L.

Pittsburgh made it 11 vic tories out of 16 games with Milwaukee Tuesday night, beating Spahn for the fourth time in five shots at the crafty lefthander this season, 0-3. The Pirates' latest victory over Charley Dressen s dis. heartened crew may also have spelled the end of Mil waukee's comeback attempt as Pittsburgh polished off two of the three games in the latest series and took a seven game lead. Milwaukee fell to third place, a half-game be hind St. Louis. By defeating Spahn for the second time in two days the Pirates probably now can clinch the pennant by win ning 10 of their remaining 21 games. Six of these contests will be against the Braves. "I won't give up until we're counted out," Dressen said, however, in commenting on Milwaukee's chances. Boston Beats Yankees The New York Yankees' failure to control the seventh place Boston Red Sox cost Casey Stengel's crew a chance to close in on league-leading Baltimore in the American circuit. The Yankees dropped iVi games behind the idle Orioles by losing their seventh game in 16 decisions with Boston this season, 7-1.

Dick Groat Sidelined By Fracture Pittsburgh -(UPIl- The Pitts burgh Pirates were steeped in gloom today with the re alization that shortstop Dick Groat was expected to be sidelined the rest of the sea son with a broken left wrist. Groat suffered the break in the first inning of Tuesday night's game against the Mil waukee Braves when he was struck by a pitched ball thrown by Lew Burdette. The Pirates team captain, considered by many as the top candidate for the National league's most valuable player award, left the contest when the wrist began to swell and he was unable to grip a bat. Early reports said that Groat's wrist was not broken, but later, X-rays revealed the break. General Manager Joe L. Brown said medical reports estimated that the Pirate sparkplug, whose .325 batting average place him second in the league, would be out for four weeks, putting him out of the Pirate stretch drive run for the pennant. Dodgers Open Eastern Swing Cincinnati - (UPB - The Los Angeles Dodgers open their final eastern swing of the 1960 season here tonight against the Cincinnati Reds who have given them more trouble than most first di vision clubs. Southpaw Johnny Podres. 11-11, will be seeking to break even for the season against the Reds tonight, having a 1-2 record with them. Opposing him will be Cal McLish, 4-11 who also is 1-2 against the Dodgers this season. . The Dodgers will be joined here Thursday by two of their farm club stars, Willie Davis and Charlie Smith, whose contracts were purchased from Spokane of the Pacific Coast league. Later in the 15 game eastern swing several others will meet them to fin ish out the season. Don Drysdale brought the three-game stand against the San Francisco Giants to a winning conclusion Tuesday with a 7-0 victory, his seventh straight Coliseum t r i umph since June 9. In olhcr AL games, Kansas City scored twice in the ninth inning to beat third-place Chi cago, 3-2, and Cleveland downed Detroit, 10-8, in 10 frames. Cincinnati tallied five runs in the 10th inning to defeat Philadelphia, 6-1, and Los Angeles shut out San Fran cisco, 7-0, in the only other NL action. Pittsburgh matched Mil waukee's three-runs in the eighth inning outbursts to mark the 27th time this sea son the Pirates had to come from behind to win after the sixth stanza. Clem Labine, in relief of starter Joe Gibbon, was credited with his second straight victory since joining the club last month. Doubles by Dick Stuart and Roberto Clemcnte and Mickey Ver non's first hit since returning to the active list provided the winning runs. Pirates Lose Groat Spahn's loss was his ninth against 17 triumphs. Dick Groat suffered a broken left wrist when hit by a Lew Bur dette pitch in the first inning and will be lost to Pittsburgh for the remainder of the sea son. Billy Muffett, a National league castoff, muffled the Yankees with three hits, in cluding Mickey Mantle's 32nd homer. Ted Williams belted his 26th of the year for Bos ton and 518th of his career. Pumpsio Green hit an inside- the-Dark homer in the tirst inning from which New York never recovered. Mutieu s triumph was his fifth. Hank Bauer drove in two runs with a bases-loaded single that sent the While Sox 4V2 off the pace. Norm Siebern drove in the other Kansas City run with his 19th homer.

They were to go over kickoffs, kick-off coverage and extra point offense. Crossing his fingers last night, Head Coach Fred Spie gelberg reported his Medford squad intact and in good physical shape. He said the gridders seem to be over their aches and pains of the earlier practice sessions. Both offense and defense are getting a lot of attention in the Tornado cap. There was a lot of defensive drill yesterday and the whole of fense was dummy scrim maged, o The head man pronounced me lueaiora OackJteld situa tion solid. He said that the coaching staff is "pretty well pieusea wnn the work of Jim siever, 140-pound senior, behind regular quarterback Dick Ragsdale. There's good depth in the backfield with Jim Barry looking good at left half along with Phil Humphreys and George Clearwater looming strong behind Dan Sieg at fullback. Back of Mike Hood, right half regular from last year, Bill Charley and Mike McCul lough are doing well. Concerning the line Spio gelberg said, "1 think it is coming along pretty good. There's not much weight, ac cording to the mentor. The Tornados hope to make up tins lack in speed.

You'll see how adroitly the VW de ign combines form and function to give you every feasible advantage. You can measure these advantages in pounds, feet, cubic feet, miles per gallon, dollars and cento take your choice. Did you know, for example, that the VW Panel Truck above holds 830 pounds more than a standard half-ton? But costa only half as much to run? We created this unique vehicle to fill a basic need: a truck that would carry a big load (y, ton), yet would not be a scaled-down version of heavy, over-the-road trucks, or de livery trucks that were simply con verted sedans. A truck that is economical to own and to operate. The only practical answer seems imple-aftor it's been done. Elimi nate dead weight and unnecessary horsepower. It took Ingenuity plus lightweight metals to cut out the 2,000 pounds dead weight found in the standard half-ton truck. For example, take the VW engine. It weighs only 182 lbs. (S.A.E.), and requires no heavy radiator, no water. A big weight saving, Then, we put it in the rear. , Why? Another factor in achieving economy is weight balance. The driver belongs In the front. Put the engine in the rear and you have even weight distribution. The load is cradled in the middle. Whether un loaded or fully loaded, a VW is in balance for easy maneuverability and sure-footed traction in mud, fee and snow. This VW Panel Truck (without ' its 1,830-pound load and driver) weighs only 2,100 pounds about half as much as standard half-ton trucks. Yet the VW gives you 830 pounds more load at half the usual operating costs. You save on gas, oil, repairs and tires. And your . Authorized VW Dealer can prove how much with validated histories. The VW Truck also saves your time. Since it is only 9 In, longer than a VW Sedan, it can be parked, or loaded and unloaded, where other trucks can't. ,? . ' . k . You'll find all these built-in advan tages only in the VW Truck. The VW Panel costs $2172 deliveiod. locally. Try one. You'll be in good company, for in the past few yean Authorized VW Dealers have deliv ered 100,000 to busi nessmen whose truck ing ncens have been met efliciently through VW Truck design.
