Sports officials regarded
the crash as tragic and "un

pointed out that "people
don t quit flying now because
of one accident."
"Our teams will keep on
flying," Masters added. "The

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

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

Barnett, suffered minor in

Casanova said they should be
ready by this weekend. The
Ducks went through a light

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."

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.

highly popular and appreci-
aiea, judging irom ovations,

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

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
