Black Tornado Pres Defense
To Meet Diversified Attack
Medford High school'i foot
ball Black Tornado hai had
"fun in the rain" thii week
But there has been plenty of
serious business too.
St. Mary's
Underdog in
Semifinal
St. Mary's of Medford, slate
Class B football co-champ In
1959, will have the underdog
role this week In Oregon prep
semifinal play.
So Crusader mentor Bill
McKibbin was informed last
week after his Medford club
had tripped Wasco County
high at Maupin 20 to 0 In a
quarterfinal clash. That was
the opinion of the coaches of
the Maupin team.
St. Mary's will take on
Umatilla at 8 p.m. Saturday
night at the Medford stadium
In the semi. Umatilla downed
Union 27 to 18 in its quarter
final match.
Underdo!! status of the Cru
saders Js based on Umatilla's
win over Wasco by a larger
icore than St. Mary's ran up
and when the Redsides of
Maupin were not so crippled
as they were for the quarter
final match.
Fin Lint
Reports indicate Umatilla
to have a real fine line and to
be strong on both offense and
defense. The Vikings use a
multiple offense, employing T
and single wing formations
and shifting from T and sin
gle wing much as Medford
and Phoenix do.
A running game is favored
and reverses and spinners
have been effective In the
Viking repertoire.
Names were not available
today. But the Umatilla club
has been rated strong at mid
dle guard, left tackle and left
end on defense. The club's
backs reportedly are "not loo
big but hard to bring down."
Umatilla is listed as fairly
sound fundamentally. Its
speed is "not too great." Vik
ing weakness, if any, has
been in pass defense.
The Crusaders have been
working on a new defense to
stop Umatilla's up the middle
attack. McKibbin reported
plans' to go back to offense
today. '
The coach reported thai
Alex Mete has ailing knee
and Bill Smith a sore arm but
that Injuries tq both Crusad
ers appear to be minor.

of Silver Beaver awards the
highest Boy Scout award that
can be given an adult.
The award presentation
took place at the 36lh annual

club.
Both men were presented

The Tornado, bidding for a
second state chamlponship in
two seasons, is priming for
what the experts rate its most
rugged scuffle of this fall. It
meets David Douglas of Port
land here Friday night In a
Class A-l state semifinal
elimination struggle.
Defense has had the con
centration of the first two
days this week of drill, Coach
Fred Splegclberg said last
night, he indicated the Big
Wind has been able to get
quite a bit accomplished in
the workouts despite the wet.
Medford is girding to meet
a diversified attack that
makes the Scots a serious
scoring threat. David Doug
las, mentorcd by Marv Hie-
bcrt utilizes T, wing T and
double wing formations and
employs slot backs in an at
tack which has gained the
Scots a nine-win, one-loss
1960 record.
Have Dectption
The DD Scots have hard
running backs in full Dan
Lambert and halves Bill
Pierce and Dave Hanson but
the offensive forte, judging
from last week's observations,
seems to be deception more
than power and speed. But, it
is acknowledged that the
rain-s o a k e d, muddy field
could have made it look that
way. The Douglas club has a
well-trained quarterback in
Terry DcSylvia to initiate
that deception.
Program weights have in
dicated that David Douglas, a
school of 1,600 students Just
outside the east Portland city
limits, fields a lighter team
than Medford's. Tornado tu
tor Spicgclberg has comment
ed, however, that the players
looked bigger than the pro
gram showed.
David Douglas is champion
of the Metropolitan league. It
gained the semis by stopping
Jefferson of Portland 13 to 6
ing the Democrats' bid for a
fourth straight appearance in
Oregon A-l finals.
The Scots lost only to Mil-
waukic 27 to 19. Their victo
ries have included 26 to 0
over Beaverton, 50 to 18 over
Clackamas, 11 to 6 over Hills
in quarterfinal action, halt
boro, 27 to 6 over Astoria, 48
to 7 over Gresham, 28 to 12
over Sunset, 32 to 0 over Cen
tennial and 34 to 3 over Cen
tral Catholic. They are riding
on a string of eight straight
wins.
David Douglas has run up
306 points this fall to oppon
ents' 85.

Syndicate
Purchasing
KC Stock
By ED SAINSBURY
Chicago-tUPI)-The signing of
legal documents In probate
court today was to formalize
a deal by a St. Louis syndi
cate to purchase control it
the Kansas City Athletics.
the St. Louis syndicate
virtually won court approval
Tuesday of its offer for com
plete control of the club, re
ported to be about $3.5 mil
lion. Probate Court Judge Rob
ert Dunne was the 1 prime
mover in pushing the propo
sal to the point of completion.
He ordered the estate of Arn
old Johnson, late owner of
the Athletics, doormats of the
American league last season,
to sell its 52 per cent interest
in the club to St. Louis group.
but the sale also was con
tingent on the syndicate's
ability to buy up the remain
ing 48 per cent of stock.
Von Over KC Croup ,
1 he precise offer of the St.
Louis group was not revealed.
But it was reported the syn
dicate apparently won over a
Kansas City group headed by
w. Putsch, a wealthy res
taurant owner, who offered
to buy the A's for $3.6 mil
lion.
A highly informed source.
however, said the difference
between the St. Louis pur
chase price offer and the Kan
sas City bid was "negligible."

Missouri,
Iowa Solid
Favorites
New York-IUPII-Top-ranked
Missouri and third ranked
Iowa, both seeking post-season
bowl bids, are solid favor
ites to further their chances
for the "glory" games this
Saturday.
Missouri, winner of nine
straight this season, is a seven
point pick over Kansas and
Iowa is favored by 14 points
over Notre Dame. A victory
for Missouri will clinch the
big Eight title, an Orange
Bowl berth and more than
likely the national college
football championship.
The. onee-beaten Hawkeyes
of Iowa, already assured of at
least a tic for the Big Ten
championship, are in the run
ning for a Rose Bowl invita
tion.
Fourth - ranked Minnesota
which can tie Iowa in the Big
Ten, is a seven-point favorite
over Wisconsin. A Gopher vic
tory also would make them
strong candidates for a Rose
Bowl bid.
Fifth - ranked Washington,
the host team at the Rose
Bowl by virtue of its Big Five
championship, is favored by
13 points over Washington
State.
Duke, sixth-ranked in the
nation, is a 14-point pick over
North Carolina, eighth-ranked
Arkansas is an eight-point
choice over Texas Tech, ninth
ranked Ohio Stale is picked
over Michigan by seven and
one-half points, and 10th
rnnked Auburn is favored by
16 over Florida Slate.
Second - ranked Mississippi
and seventh ranked Navy arc
idle this week.
Two games are rated "pick
'em" Pittsburgh vs. Penn
Slate and Oregon Stale vs.
Oregon.

Baylor Sets
Point Mark
By DICK JOYCE
United Press International
Elgin Baylor was worried
about his shooting Tuesday
and so he took an extra prac
tice session with a few team
mates. Today he holds the
new National Basketball as
sociation single game scoring
record or 71 points.
Baylor was virtual perfec
tion in racking up his as
tounding point total as the
Los Angeles Lakers waltzed
lo a 123-108 victory over the
New York Knickerbockers in
the second game of a double
header at Madison Square
oaraen iuesaay night.
Scoring mainly on drives
and jump shots, the 6-5 form
er Seattle All-American had
the New York defense con
founded all night. He hit on
28 of 48 field goal attempts
and 15 of 19 foul shots. He
also led both teams in re
bounds with 25.
His new point record broke
the previous mark of 64 he
had set against Boston Nov.
8, 1959.
In other games Tuesday,
uscar Robertson scored 44
points to Chamberlain's 36
and led the Cincinnati Royals
lo a 124-115 vixctory over the
Philadelphia Warriors, and
the Detroit Pistons overcame
a 20-point third-quarter de
ficit to edge Boston, 115-114,
in an overtime thriller that
preceded the Laker - Knick
contest in New York.

Scheffing
Report Said
Premature
By FRED DOWN
New York 1UPU Bob Schef
fing, who warns "don't expect
miracles because I'm no mir
acle man," has been selected
to manage the Detroit Tigers
in 1961, it was learned today
by the United Press Interna
tional.
The selection of the 45-year-
old ex-Chicago Cub pilot will
be formally announced within
the next 10 days in order that
Scheffing will be able to be
with other club officials dur
ing the major league meetings
beginning in St. Louis on Dec
5.
Club president John Fetzer
said the announcement
premature" and Scheffing
said he "knew nothing about
it" but the UPI source said
the choice was definite. Casey
Stengel, who was dropped by
the New York Yankees be
cause of his 70 years, was De
troit's first pick but turned
down the job.
Scheffing's previous major
league managerial experience
was with the Cubs whom he
guided to a seventh place
finish in 1957 and to fifth-
place finishes in 1958 and
1959. Bob served during the
1960 season as a coach for the
Milwaukee Braves.
A native of Overland, Mis
souri, Scheffing stands 6 feet
2 inches and weighs about 210
pounds. He played his big
league ball for the Cubs, Reds
and St. Louis Cardinals be
tween 1941 and 1951, with
three years out for service in
the Navy, and batted .263.

Hank Greenberg Certain
That Rule Can Be Changed
By JOHN GRIFFIN
New York-IUPD-Hank Green
berg said today an amend
ment to baseball's rules that
would clear the way for the
American league's expansion
to Los Angeles already has
been submitted to the major
leagues.
Greenberg, who is the or
ganizer of the group which
plans to operate the new AL
franchise in the West Coast
city, made the comment in
response to Commissioner
Ford Frick's statement that
new franchises in Los Angeles
and New York face a snag
called "Rule One-C" of the big
league rules.
"In the first place," said
Greenberg, "everybody was
under the assumption that the
commissioner already had de
clared those cities open cities.
This is a matter which will
have to be resolved on Thurs
day when we all sit down with
the commissioner."
Change Needed
"Otherwise," Greenberg con
tinued, "it is clear that Rule
One-C must be changed in
order to pave the way for ex
pansion in 1961 - and I am
sure that the rule can be
amended. In fact, the Ameri
can league already has sub
mitted the necessary amend
ment. It's up to us now to
vote on it."
Rule One-C states: "To pro
vide and stimulate competi
tion for the league pennants
and for the world champion
ship, the circuit of either
major league shall not be
changed to include any city
in the circuit of the other
major league except by the
unanimous consent of the
clubs constituting both major
leagues."
Under that rule. Los
Angeles Dodger owner Walter
O'Malley - or any other Na
tional league owner - could
prevent AL's expansion into
Los Angeles by simply voting
against it, National league
sources say that would be a
foregone conclusion.
Frick has indicated that he
will vote against expansion if
the two leagues disagree on a

rule amendment and leave him
with the decisive vote. Frick
has long been a champion of
expansion in principle bul is
angry because of the way Ilia
leagues have been acting in
dependently of each other.
