2 B MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1960 Iowa, Mississppi Will Be Pushed To Hold Top Place By DICK JOYCE United Fnu International Iowa and Mississippi, the country's top-rated teams, will be hard-pressed to retain their rankings from 1959 national champion Syracuse when col lege tootball once again cap tures the spotlight on Satur day. Iowa, present kingpin of the powerful Western Confer ence which boasts four of America's top 10 teams and seven of the first 16, is nine-point favorite to down Purdue at home. The Buck eyes are undefeated in four starts and were voted the no. 1 team in the most recent bat loling of the United Press In ternational Board of Coaches, Purdue Is rated eighth and will rely on its size and power to offset Iowa's eye-dazzling speed. Favored by Nine Mississippi is also a nine- point choice against an equal ly unpredictable foe In Ar kansas. The Razorbacks upset Texas by onn point last week and have lost only to unde feated Baylor In five games. They also will have the ad vantage of their home sta dium. Ole Miss has won five ' games without a defeat, Its last- conquest coming over , Tulane. Syracuse has twice come within a bad bounce of defeat, but should have no difficulty in running roughshod over winless West Virginia. It would take nothing short of a football massacre to satisfy the pride of last year'g na tional champions. Major contests which are rated close to even by tne oddsmakers include the tra ditional battle for the Little Brown Jug between Michigan and Minnesota, the Southwest Conference game between Ducks Seek Fifth Win On Gridiron Eugcne-IUPD-Oregon's Web fools go after their fifth vic tory in six starts this season Saturday afternoon against the California Golden Bears i at Berkeley. : California has- yet to win a game this season.

Michigan Is Choic Although Minnesota is rank ed fifth and Michigan 16th, the Wolverines now are favor ed by l'2 points to win this 5lst contest of a bitter rivalry at Ann Arbor. Michigan was lucky In getting a 14-7 deci sion from Northwestern last week while Minnesota defeat ed Illinois, 21-10, to maintain its perfect record. Texas, which has won three games by shutouts but was beaten the two times its de fense was broken, is a one point underdog in the night game at Houston. Rice has won three of four, including a 47-0 romp over Southern Methodist last week. Pittsburgh, loaded with po tential, finally broke a frus trating slump last Saturday with a 42-0 victory over West Virginia and is a two-point pick at Fort Worth.

The first change indicated by the 41-year-old new boss of the American league champi ons was - the possibility of some coaching switches. Houk is understood to want to litre ex-Y ankee Hank Bauer as one of his coaches. "This club isn't going to drop dead," the ruggedly handsome Houk told report ers. "How can a team with Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris and Bill Skowron drop dead? It s going to go on winning." No Yes Man Houk then used the words employed only 49 hours earl ier by Casey Stengel, when the 70-year-old pilot who had led the Yankees to 10 pen nants In 12 years was axed, to describe his position: For your Information." he said, "I'm no yes man." Stengel had Implied at Tues day's press conlerence that the front office had tried to interfere with his handling of the club. Co-owner Dan Top ping has said he falls to un derstand what Stengel was talking about. Houk, a native ot Law rence, Kan., who has the poise ot a fellow who rose from private to major in the Rangers and fought at the Bulge and Bastogne, made a strong impression at his first press conference as the 'boss." He smoked placidly on a long cigar, caught and tired back a steady stream of questions and seemed com pletely at ease. Expects Fow Deals "I don't think you can ex pect us to make a flock of deals," he said. "A club that wins a pennant rarely docs." Houk was asked if he plan ned to vise the same tactics that Stengel used with the club. 1 don't think I'll platoon as much although I will pla loan some," said Houk. "1 was around Casey quite a bit and I think I learned some thing. But I'll do my own thinking. I'll be In close touch with my coaches but I'll pick the pitchers' rotation. Tho decisions will bo mine." Texas A&M In its last outing. Illinois has split its four games ; and Is picked by a point against a Penn State squad that came within feet of upsetting Syracuse last week. Fourth-ranked Navy proved Its class against the Air Force Academy last Saturday and is tabbed by a solid 21 points over Pennsylvania; s l x t n ranked Missouri and seventh- ranked Baylor are two-touch down picks over Iowa State and Texas A&M, respectively; ninth-ranked Washington is prohibitive favorite over Ore gon State; and tenth-ranked Ohio State is a one-touchdown choice against Wisconsin. In other major contests, Princeton is picked over Cor nell, Northwestern over Notre Dame, Duke over Clemson, Georgia Tech over Tulane, Michigan State over Indiana Kansas over Oklahoma State Wyoming over the Air Force Academy, and UCLA over Stanford. in a broken collarbone in the 10- 8 win over UCLA last week Bob Hivner, the fellow Schloredt replaced last sea son when Hivner was hurt, will handle that job capably He was named the Big Five back of the week last week Oregon State hopes to have back In action hard-running Don Kasso, the Nov-. 1 tail back in the Beavers' ' single- wing attack. Also on hand in that spot will be Terry Baker, the sensational southpaw so phomore who set a school yardage mark of 284 running and passing against Idaho. Stanford's Indians May Catch Fire United Press International Jack Curtice's bedraggled btaniord Indians nave a way of catching fire when they reach the sixth game of a sea son and UCLA, an 18V4 point choice to win Saturday night's game in Los Angeles, might do well to be on guard. In 1958, the Indians lost four out of five and then trimmed the Bruins, 21-19 Last- year they had dropped another four out of five, head ed for Los Angeles like babes In the wood, and made mighty Southern California battle to pull out a 30-28 decision. Now Stanford has lost all five of its games and looks like a setup for the Bruins who lost a 10-8 toughie to Washington last week. Curtice isn't even telling Jokes right now. So another nerve-buster could be in the works this Sat urday night. Other leading games pit Washington and Oregon State at Portland, Oregon at Cali fornia, College of the Pacific at Washington State and San Jose State at Arizona State. Norman or Sears The big question at Stan ford is whether Curtice will start Dick Norman, the best passer in the nation last year, or Rod Sears who has looked sharper In recent outings. The Bruins are all set with BUI Kilmer, their sharp tailback and number one tosser. Oscar Sparks Drive by Royals United Press International Oscar Robertson says he's learning more with every game in the National Basket ball association, but off his first two performances how much better can he get? Robertson sparked a last- half rally that gave the Cin cinnati Royals a 113-105 vic tory over the New York Knickerbockers at Madison Square Garden Thursday night. He scored only seven points during the first half, then cut loose with 21 In a brilliant all-around second halt .performance. As knowing an old hand as Joe Lapchlck, present coach of St. John's and formerly of the Knickerbockers, feels the Big O can't help becoming one of the greatest stars In pro basketball. "He docs everything," laud ed Lapchlck. "It's not only his scoring but what he docs on defense in blocking shots and stealing the ball. STAR GAME SET New York -flJPU- Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick an nounced Wednesday that the second All-Star game in 1981 will be played In Boston, on Monday, July 31.

That concluding and force ful question was asked by Donn Moomaw, one-time All- American football player, in a talk last night at the Med ford High school cafeteria. "God is calling you to be on the team and leave the knocks to him," Moomaw said. "Get on his team," he urged. Moomaw, minister of new life and evangelism at the First Presbyterian church of Berkeley, Calif., who gained his gridiron honors at uni versity of California at Los Angeles, addressed a dinner attended by Medford and Cra ter High school athletes, by Medford school faculty mem bers, including coaches, ana by others interested. The din ner and talk were sponsored by the United Presbyterian Youth fellowship and mem bers of the Presbyterian Men's association served as hosts, Personal Relationship "Remember," Moomaw said, "the only way you'll ever be a champion in the game of football or game of life is when you take sincere ly your personal relationship with God." Not every guy determined to be a champion Is going to be an Ail-American, Moomaw pointed out. He stated that a champion in the eyes of the coaches is "one giving 1,000 per cent all of the time no matter how poor it is." And, he advised, "Don't ever be content to be third string: don't be content to be next best." bpeaking of his summer experiences at Estes Park, Colo., where some of the greatest athletes in the coun try gather for a time "inspi ration and perspiration, Moo maw developed the question of "what makes these men champions - what goes into these men ... to make them excel?" Said the minister, "I think you'll find that some where along the line there's been a handicap - they've overcome something." He mentioned his own struggle to gain coordination, which he lacked because he grew too fast. Always Determined Every one of these men at Estes park are determined to be champions every time they go for the ball, the speaker brought out. "I never saw a champion who was not always deter mined to be the very best he could be," Moomaw declared. Relating his experiences In playing pro football in Can ada, Moomaw told the group that all his life he had wanted to play American pro ball and he had wanted to play for the Los Angeles Rams. However, in his junior year "something happened to alter my entire life. 1 did not want anything to come into my life that would Interfere with worshipping the King." He pointed out that, while Amer ican professional football is played mainly on Sundays, games in Canada are con tested on Saturdays and on Wednesdays. Morally Responsible ' Since 1 gave my life to Jesus Christ," said Moomaw, '1 have had a desire to share that life with others." He said he was "morally responsible" to share it. Moomaw told of an inci dent In which he was asked to express his religious views to a group of players. He said that as he walked away, he heard someone laugh and this laughter "crushed" him. Lat er, this player who laughed asked Moomaw to lead the squad In prayer before a game. "Something happens be tween the laughter and the crowd," declared Moomaw. You can see how shallow our laughter really is." Dick Ragsdale was student chairman of the dinner. The invocation was by Dr, D. K. First baseman Roger Mams from left to to the Ameri West, pastor of First United Presbyterian church here. Dr. Leonard Mayfield, Medford superintendent of schools gave the words of welcome. Girls of the Youth fellow ship served and representa tives of circles in the Pres byterian Women's association supervised in the kitchen. North's Chuck Wagon was caterer. Approximately 130 attend ed the dinner. Moomaw was an All-Amer-Ican lineman in each of his three varsity seasons at UCLA. He was named to ev ery All-America team in the country in 1954 and both the United Press and Associated Press picked him "lineman of the year." He is a 1957 grad uate of Princeton Theological seminary.

(UPI Telephoto) San Francisco Keeps Interest In Leo Durocher Tokyo -(UPD- The San Fran cisco Giants still are inter ested in Leo Durocher. Giants' owner Horace Stoneham said Thursday that the former manager was "definitely not out of the picture, but our first considerations are two men still In baseball." Most San Francisco sports writers had discounted the Lip's chances when the Giants' front office said it was think ing in terms of two men under contract to other clubs. Stoneham said he was not at liberty to identify the pros pects without permission of their clubs. He said no de cisions would be made until the Giants finish their barn storming tour of Japan.
