of the bad weather on the

as possible location by Silctz.

cision between Medford or

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.

NL Rookie
Honor Goes
To Howard
By DICK DEW
Boston - IUPD - Frank How
ard, the Los Angeles Dodgers
towering outfielder, had
mighty good reason to be
thankful on (his Thanksgiving
day.
The six-foot, six-inch form
er Ohio State basketball play
er was named the National
league's Rookie-of-the-Year by
the Baseball Writers Associ
ation of America. He was the
No. 1 selection of 12 of the 22
members of the association's
special award committee.
Howard, who is playing
winter- baseball in Puerto
Rico, hit 23 homers for the
Dodgers this year after begin

The Dodgers called him up
when he was batting .371 after
16 games.
Howard played 117 games
for Los Angeles, batting .268
and adding 77 runs batted in.
Philadelphia first baseman
Pancho Herrera was second
in the balloting with four
votes while pitcher Art Ma-
haffey, his teammate, was
third with three votes.
Third baseman Ron Santo
of the Chicago Cubs had two
votes and placed fourth while
Los Angeles outfielder Tom
my Davis finished fifth with
one vote.
Howard was the fifth
Dodger player in 13 years to

inson won the title in 1947,
followed by Don Ncwcombe,
Joe Black and Jim Gilliam,
Howard entered organized

Raider coach Ted Schopf Is
relying on two regulars from

Flanary, only a sophomore

from Bend, he has developed
an over-the-head two handed

a good variety to go with his
