Sports officials regarded the crash as tragic and "un fortunate," but they also agreed unanimously with Al Masters, athletic director at Stanford University, who pointed out that "people don t quit flying now because of one accident." "Our teams will keep on flying," Masters added. "The odds are with ynu." Flying to Minnesota Members of the top-ranked Iowa team will fly to Minnea polis for their "game of the year" with second-ranked Minnesota Saturday. Other teams in the Big Ten Confer ence also will rely on planes for their future road games this year, according to a sur vey conducted by United Press International.

Pros Will Keep Flying That Ohio crash was un fortunate but I don't think we'd change our flying plans because of a single accident," said William Aspinwall, ath letic business manager at the University of Wisconsin. "We try to fly with the best air lines and we have a lot of confidence in our planes." Wilbur Johns, athletic di rector at UCLA, said he had not given any thought to a change in his team's flights "because we haye flown all over the country for years and accidents can happen on buses or trains, too." Flying Is Risky For A Small Team, By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International New York - IUPD - The air tragedy which struck Cali fornia Poly's football team is risked by every small college which necessarily pinches pennies in flying to its games, Rhode Island grid coach Herb Maack asserted today. Small college football al ways is in shaky financial condition because of low guar antees and poor gates. Thus, ordinarily, there is a great deal of bargain basement shopping for the cheapest Big O Tops NBA Point Statistics New York -(UPD- Oscar Rob ertson, a prolific scorer dur ing his college days, readily demonstrated his smooth switch to the pro ranks today when he dominated two of five statistical departments in National Basketball Asso ciation. A clever ball handler, as well as a dead-eye shot, Rob ertson topped the first week's scorers with 185 points and led in assists with an amazing 9.6 average. The Cincinnati Royal rookie was directly re sponsible for 67 baskets racked up by his teammates. Baylor Second Elgin Baylor of the Los An geles Lakers trailed the "Big O" in scoring with 180 points while Jack Twyman of Cin cinnati was third with 165. Arnold Bockhorn of the Royals was runner-up in as sists with 37, followed by Richie Guerin of the New York Knickerbockers with 36. Larry Stavennan continued Cincinnati's surprising surge as leader in field goal per centages, netting 11 of 20 shots for a .550 mark. Baylor o u t h u s 1 1 e d the league in rebounds, grabbing 121 caroms. Wilt Chamber lain of the Philadelphia War riors had 81 and Robertson nabbed 78. Paul Arizin of the Warriors was the most accurate from the foul line, sinking 18 of 19 attempts for a .947 percent age. Ducks Hope To Be At Full Strength Eugene, Ore. (UPD Oregon coach Len Casanova hopes to have a full healthy squad ready when the Ducks meet Stanford in Portland, Ore., next Saturday. Three tackles, Riley Matt son, Ron Snidow and Steve Barnett, suffered minor in juries in the 7-6 loss to Wash ington last Saturday but Casanova said they should be ready by this weekend. The Ducks went through a light offensive workout Monday. Corvallis, Ore.-fflPD-Oregon State's Beavers went through a rugged two-hour drill Mon day in preparation for their Saturday football game with Washington State at Pullman, Wash. The Beavers, upset by Cali fornia 14-6 last weekend. worked on both offensive and defensive patterns as coach Tommy Prothro sought to correct costly mistakes by his gained about a yard but the play was called back and Eastern was penalized for offside. Other dark-jersied Raiders shown are Kerman Bennett (35) and Merv Newell (68). EOC players visible are Jerry Camp bell (72) and John Wilmart (34).-(Simonson- Pro football officials shared the same view. Will Continue "We will continue to fly," said a spokesman for the San Francisco Forty-Niners. "We have every confidence in our system of transportation." Don Kellett, general man ager, of the -world champion Baltimore Colts, said, "We don't contemplate making any changes in our transpor tation schedules," while a spokesman for the Pittsburgh Steelers declared, "The Ohio crash was a tragic thing but the airplane is here to stay." Coach Says available charter to transport small college teams to inter sectional games. "We learned our lesson last year," Maack disclosed. "No more for us." The Rhode Island team stood very close to tragedy last season when it flew to Buffalo for a game. The charter which was to fly the Rhode Island team wobbled in for a landing at Providence as the team waited to board it. The plane bounced over the fence and tore a hole in its roof. "Well," says Maack, "we boarded it anyhow and flew to Buffalo. After all, we had a $7,500 guarantee and the plane only cost us $3,000 for the charter." The charter, which since has lost its license, had trouble getting the door closed before the team took off. Then, when MaacI; wanted to go up to the cockpit and ask the pilot a question, the handle of the door to the cockpit came off in his hand. "It was a little chilly on the boys who sat under the hole in the roof, too," he re members. Maack said he wanted it clearly understood that he was making no inference toward the charter group which flew the California team and which killed 16 Cal Poly players when it cracked up at Toledo. "It s simply that the major teams can afford to' fly the best lines," Maack pointed out. "That's fine, when you have a sound four-motored plane. But after that Buffalo experience we decided that money wasn't that important and from now on we'd play right in our own area. It's bad enough, quipped the irrepressible Maack, trav eling by bus. Bus Catches Fire "We only have to go 100 miles to play Connecticut,' he related. "Well, our bus caught fire and we had to hitch-hike the last 50 miles. We got there too late for me to give the kids instructions so they played a helluva good game." Traveling by train to in lerseetional games takes too much time out from school work, he explained, so Rhode Island gave up the long trips even though it costs the school money. "Financially we're as bad as last year, maybe even worse," Maack shrugged, add ing with tongue in cheek, "The president said he wwld help so now he's sitting on the bench. Maybe he meant he'd help us coach." But, he could have added, nobody seems to mind the fi nancial hardships. They are, after all, alive. Re-elect ROBERT SIPODMTS Fanfare "What can you say after, you've said you're sorry? That about sums up the Medford Black Tornado's crushing 75 26 victory over an out-played, but dead game gang of Ash land high Grizzlies, who were giving their utmost right up to the merciful final buzzer that put an end to the hostil ities." So spoke Glen Prescott in his account in the Ashland Daily Tidings of the Tornado Ashland grid scrape at Ash land last Friday night. We'll go along on the Grizzly game ness. The fact that they scored four touchdowns and worked for them when another team might have quit trying shows their efforts. Ashland gained a distinction by making almost as many touchdowns as the total num ber previously tallied against Medford this fall. Five other teams tabulated against the Tornado but never more than one touchdown. PSYCHOLOGICAL GIMMICKS Now comes the crucial battle next Friday between Medford and Grants Pass to determine who represents District 6 A-l in the state quarterfinals. We know that Grants Pass will be working lo provide all the psycho logical gimmicks it can. Suppose that the annual mother-son dinner is sched uled and that the Cavemen gridders again will vow to win the game for their mothers. The vow is yet to be fulfilled but the GP boys have - come close, tying Medford both in 1957 (20 20) and 1958 (0-0). Tornado footballers went into the playoffs on the strength of more net yardage. TO INSIST ON WHITE A couple of Grants Pass scouts were in the press box at Ashland recording every Medford move, almost, on a tape recorder. Someone asked, "Why is Medford wearing black tonight?" "They do whenever they can," we said. "They won't at Grants Pass," said one of the Cave man scouts. Evidently, Medford in white jerseys is not as frightening to Grants Pass as the Tornado in black. We'll see. UPSET PREDICTED A veiled prediction that Grants Pass high will upset Medford's high riding foot ballers next Friday was con tained in a Sports Ack-Ack last week in the Grants Pass Courier; Mentioning last Friday night's Klamath Falls Pelican-Crater Comet game, Acklen said: "We wouldn't be surprised to see the Pels win this one and then see the Comets upset the Grizz lies on November 4 in what could be a good night for upsets all over the circuit." REPORTS ON OLD SCHOOL Not too popular in Grants Huskies Lead Big 5 Rushing San Francisco-tliPll - Wash ington's roaring Huskies, com ing through with another squeaker victory over Oregon on Saturday, lead the Big Five statistics in three departments. The Huskies top the field in total offense, rushing offense, and rushing defense. UCLA leads in passing offense and total defense, and California Is tops in passing defense. Washington has averaged 323 yards per game on total offense, gained 219 of this on the ground; and has allowed only 728 yards rushing all season while winning 6 and losing one game. UCLA has picked up a total of 769 yards this season via the aerial route with a 3-1-1 record, averaging 154 yards per game. The Bruins have al lowed only 233 yards per tilt on total defense. California, getting its first ttn., f thn ..mnnlan nn Saturday, has allowed the op-1 position an average of only 95 yards passing a game while winning 1, losing 5 and ticing DUNCAN (Democrat) Slate Representative Respected by all of Oregon for his effective leadership as Speaker of the House Duncan for Lag.

KISS OF DEATH? A Portland paper had a full page of pictures on Medford's tremendous Black Tornado football team over the week end. It plans a series of articles re vealing io its readers throughout the state the "why" of Tornado athletic success facts that are pret ty well known locally. It's some fine publicity for Medford, But, we cringe a little bit. We recall 15 years ago that Medford had another great grid aggrega tion following a year in which it won the state crown. Another Portland publication ballyhooed the Black Tornado. Then. Grant of Portland came down and nipped Medford 7-6. We never had a chance to see that 1945 Medford team in action but have been iold that the Generals did not really belong on the same field with the Tornado. Funny thing. We men tioned "kiss of death" to the Portland writer. A few days later we learned that Medford Coach Fred Spie gelberg had made the same comment to him. BAND, CHAMPION TOO There's not too many towns like Medford where high school fans can go out and watch and hear two cham pionship performances in an evening. We are speaking of the combined entertainment provided by the football team and the Black Tornado band. In fact, we are informed, mere are residents who go to the games mainly to see the band. An avid band supporter will maintain that, with the way the Medford gridders have been crushing the oppo sition, the main entertain ment is the band. The mu- sicians with their lilting tunes. and intricate formations are highly popular and appreci- aiea, judging irom ovations, Schoendienst Will Train St. Louis-IUPD-Red Schoen dienst, who gained fame as a major league second baseman with the St. Louis Cardinals, will go to spring training with the club next year in an effort to earn a spot as a utility play er.

Y., at the Bos ton Garden Saturday night in a middleweight 10-rounder that features this week's box ing schedule. Jones replaced Paul Pen der of Biookline, Mass., as Pigou's opponent. Pender, recognized as middleweight champion by New York, Mas sachusetts and the European Boxing union, withdrew from the non-title bout because of respiratory ailment.

SINtJE 1857 Finch Attorney May Ask Jury Poll Los A ngples - WPD - Defense Attorney Grant Cooper said that unless jurors deliberating the Fineh-Trcgoff murder re trial reach a verdict today he will ask that they be polled to see how they stand. The panel of 11 women and man had deliberated 40 hours at day's end Monday, pushing the trial into its 19th week and surpassing by 3 hours and 40 minutes the point where the first trial jury found itself hopelessly dead locked. Once-wealthy Dr. R. Ber nard Finch, 43, and his auburn-haired mistress, Carole Tregoff, 23, accused of mur der in the first degree for the July 18, 1959 gunshot slaying of Mrs. Barbara Jean Finch, were in court Monday as the final pages of testimony were read on request of the jury. Cal Back Wins Weekly Honor San Francisco-lUPI) - George Pierovieh of California hob bled off the field twice last Saturday with an injured an kle but it wasn't enough to keep him from sparking the Bears lo a 14-6 win over Ore gon State for their first win a disheartening season. As a result of his tremend ous ball carrying and lme- backing, the 19-ycar-old full back from Jackson, Calif., has earned the United Press In tcrnational's West Coast back of the week honor. The shifty power-runner gained 57 yards in 15 carries for an average of 3.8 against the Beavers and press box pundits in Corvallis voted him the game's outstanding back. "Pierovieh was injured ear lier this season but came back strong against Oregon Stale," coach Marv Levy said Mon day. Linetmm of the week award went to Garner Elkstran Washington Stale's driving tackle, who made minccmca in the clutch of San Josi Slate's offense during tht Cougar's 29-6 win Saturday night. Elkstran is a fine pro pros pect," coach Jim Sutherland glowed afterward. Giants Settle for Deadlock in Japan Toyama, Japan-OiPlI - The barnstorming San Francisco Giants belted four home runs here in southern Japan today against Japan's all-stars, but had to settle for a 7-7 tie at the halfway mark of their 16- day tour of the Stone Lantern circuit. The game was called be cause of darkness after 10 in nings. Some 28,000 spectators witnessed the event, which gave the Giants four victories, three losses and one tie in their post-season goodwill se ries in Japan. The visiting Giants had a 7-0 lead after five and a half innings, but gave up to a tic when the All-Stars rallied in the sixth.
