Because of the bad weather on the coast, Corvallls was suggested as possible location by Silctz. The Oregon School Activitiei association, however, frowned upon long travel by both Class B teams. It was then a de cision between Medford or Newport as a site. St. Mary's, which, has de veloped a multiple offense, will go against a straight T yard freestyle; Bob Walker, diving; Bruce Hess, indiv'dual medley and Ted Lyons, 100 yard freestyle. Walker and Thompson will join with Brant Mitchell and Bob Reichcrs in the 200-yard medley relay and John Craw ford and Bill Dames will swim with Lyons and Hess in the freestyle relay.

Medford had the most in dividual first in district with Lyons winning the 50 and 100-yard freestyle swims and Hess the 100 butterfly and 200 medley. South Eugene had two individual and two relay firsts. Walker was second in di viding and the medley relay team third.

Callf.-IUPD-Pa- clfic Coast league president Dewey Soriano will poll the league's directors during the holiday week end to deter mine whether the Sacramento solons will remain in the PCL. Soriano met with directors of the Sacramento club for flvo hours Wcdnesday-but the meeting produced little hope that the tenm would remain In the capital next year. The president urged Sacra mento to review its decision to dissolve the club and put the franchise up for sole. He suggested a Dec. 15 deadline for a decision, pointing out that the PCL "wants to give Sacramento every chance to continue in baseball." But the Solon directors ap peared unwilling to accept tho dale and asked instead for an extension until Feb. 1, 1901. Colorado State, Denver Collide In Traditional By MARTIN LADER United Press International A possible bowl bid for Tex as and perhaps n happy mem ory for Cornell coach Lofty James highlights a Thanks giving Day college football program that otherwise lacks much national Interest. The Longhoms, 8-3 for the year, were host to traditional rival Texas A&M. A Long- horn victory could earn them a bid to the Blucbonnet Bowl In Houston on Dec. 15. Lefty James, the dean of Ivy league coaches, Is believed to be in his last season at Cor nell following 14 years as head coach. His Big Red squad had a dismal 2 0 slate, but much of the frustration could be forgotten with a vic tory over Pennsylvania. Disappointing Pcnn also has been disap pointing with a 2-7 record but was a five-point choice in the contest at Philadelphia. VMI already has clinched tho Southern Conference title, but It faced a stiff tost from Virginia Toch In the Soulh's military school classic. The tradition game of the West brings together Denver and Colorado State U, at Den ver. Neither team Is impres sive this season, each with 2-7 records. Colorado State U. leads Its Skyline Conference foe in their series, 29-25-5. In other games, Richmond engaged William & Mary, Wichita met West Texas State, Chattanooga played Mississip pi Southern and Tennessee Tech took on Mlddlo Tonnes see Stato. A formation team. The Warriors reportedly have a strong pass ng assault. This was ruled out last week end when Siletz beat Harrisburg in a windy watery and muddy semifinal. Weather outlook indicates that attacks will be held to the ground again. Breaks Important In fact on the chopped up Newport field, breaks may easily decide the outcome as they did when the Warriors turned back Harrisburg's Eagles last Saturday by turn ing fourth quarter fumbles into touchdowns in a 14 to 0 win. St. Mary's had field con ditions that were better but managed just a 8 to 0 margin over a heavier Umatilla team. Both St. Mary's and Siletz have lightweight forward walls. The Crusaders have a five-pounds per man weight difference over the Warriors among their offensive line regulars. The Medford paroch- ials arc bulkier at the ends and guards and the Warriors at the tacklos and center. St. Mary s may, nevertheless, be without the services of 180 pound regular tackle Marv McGce. He was hit in the back in practice Tuesday and probably ripped some mus cles. His status was said by Coach Bill McKlbbin to be not too promising for the game. Silctz is expected to try to stop the Crusaders through the middle with a 215-pound middle guard, Danny Rilitos. Traction Needed A bit more weight in the backfield could prove advan tageous to the "Warriors. With the wet field slowing speed, traction will be all-important. Silctz lost its speediest run ner before the playoffs through injury and it's not certain that he'll be ready for the final game. The player is Richard Wood, 15-pound right halfback. Jim Sweet, 100, has been running in his place. Neil Borden, 15, runs the Warriors from quarterback. Eddie Sondcnaa, 15, is left half and Jim Powe, 170, man the fullback post. Heaviest players in the Siletz line are Jim Crawford and . Tom Downey, 180 tockles. The Warriors won from Jef ferson, Sanliam, St. Boniface, McLaren, Colton and Chem awa In their far-flung District 2. They defeated Taft in a non league fracas and Knappa and Harrisburg in playoffs in a 9-0 season, St. Mary's, unbeaten In 10 games this fill, turned back Sacred Heart, Bonanza, Chil oquln, Malin, Merrill and Tulclakc, Calif., in league play. They tripped Wasco County and Umatilla in state playoffs and trimmed two A-2 schools, Glcndale and Illinois Valley. Frick Expresses Fear Concerning Interloop Play New York -ItlPIl- Commis sioner Ford Frick feels the continuation of interlcaguc play beyond 1961 will hurt All-Star games and eventually ruin tho World Series. Frick offered that opinion Wednesday at his office where he spoke of the current ex pansion problems facing both the American and National leagues. The AL proposed Tuesday that it would not enter Los Angclos until 1962 provided the NL expand to nine teams and engage in interlengue competition next year. The AL said the interlcaguc com petition would be for 1961 only. "I think it's perfectly all right for one year, Frick said "but if it continued, I think it could hurt the All-Star games and ruin the World Series. Fines Reduce Detroit Wages Detroit - (IIPD - The Detroit Lions were playing a Thanks giving day game against the Green Bay Packers at Briggs stadium today - at reduced wages. The Lions players were to receive paychecks $25 less than usual for the game and one, Bruce Manor, was getting a S50 pay cut. The money represented fines assessed against the entire De troit Lions team for its part In the free-swinging donncy hrook touched off in last Sun day's game between the Lions and the Chicago Boars nt Chi cago. Similar fines were levied against the Boars. Ma iler and John Avenl of the Bears, drew S50 fines because they were the principles of the hassle.

Veterans To Handle Backcourt for SOC Ashland - Southern Oregon college continues to prepare for its basketball season open er against Linfield college in the NAIA Tip-Off tourney at Salem, Dec. 1. Raider coach Ted Schopf Is relying on two regulars from last year to handle the back court by looking to Gordy Carrigan and Brad Flanary. Cardigan is a top-flight shoot ing guard while bcnopi leeis that Flanary is coming into his own as a long shooter. Flanary, only a sophomore and 5-8, is one of the hardest workers on the SOC hoop team. Since coming to college from Bend, he has developed an over-the-head two handed jump shot which gives him a good variety to go with his set shot. Freshman Jerry S h u 1 1 s from Medford has been push ing the regulars for action in the guard slots.
