NEIL PLUMLEY
Mr. Ail-Around at OSC
Plumley's Versatility
Pleases OSC Followers
By JOHN EGGERS
OSC Publicity Director
Oregon Stale College, Cor
vallis - When they speak of
"Mr. Ail-Around Man" at
Oregon Slate, somehow the
conversation usually centers
around Neil Plumley, Oregon
State's 6-6, 235-pound foot
ball tackle from Medford.
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

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

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.

Pittsburgh Beats Spahn Again,
Shoves Braves Into Third Spot;
New York Falls 1 : Games Behind
By GARY KALE
United Press International
The Pittsburgh Pirates'
abiBty to beat Warren Spahn
and the Milwaukee Braves is
proving to be a major factor
in their drive for the National
league pennant.
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

even for the season against
the Reds tonight, having a 1-2

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

Clemcnte and Mickey Ver

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

THIS IS THE SHAPE OF TRUCKS TO COME
Look closely at a Volkswagen Truck.
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.
