4 R WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 14. 1960 Occasion Must Be Met When It Comes, Prothro fells Gridders at Dinner Tom Prothro last night offer ed his congratulations to St. Mary's High school gridders as Oregon Class B champions and to Mcdford High school footballers as "the best team in the state." The Oregon State college grid coach was main speaker at the annual Mcdford Lions club dinner at the Jackson hotel honoring the two squads. Prothro pointed out that the Crusaders of St. Mary's reach ed "the top of where you can go." On his congratulations to Mcdford as "best," he remark ed, "I know that sounds a little hollow." Bui, he went on to comment that he did not think there was anybody in the state that thinks Medford was not the best. The collegiate mentor de clared tha to try to "win with honoi is the most important thing" or there is no use play- ihg. Yet he brought out that there are compensations in losing and said that the Black Tornado "learned a real les son in losing" (to David Doug las in the state A-l semifinals). One of the most important things to be learned in life, Prothro said is that "you have to meet the occasion when it Comes."

He spoke of values of football: educa tional and intellectual, de velopment of a sound mind and sound body and develop ment of a compctivei fighting heart. In most fields of endeavor a person has to have these three values, the coach assert ed and the person will not get the job done unless he has the fighting heart. He mentioned that competitive sports lcand to the enthusiasm and heart needed when one Is called to the defense of his country and he pointed to the many war time leaders who had been competitive athletes. Prothro expressed the opin ion that a sound mind and body can be better developed In competitive sports than in a physical education class be cause of an athlete pushing himself from the "great all-out effort made in a game. Prothro defended the pro gram of giving athletic schol arships. He stated that a lot of boys got educations that otherwise would not get them. The grid tutor stated that, even if these athletes do not become doctors, scientists or engineers, they are mare bet tcr citizens and superior in dividuals.

The 44-man team flew out of Portland Tuesday after noon and arrived here around midnight where, the tempera ture was 22 degrees. The tern- perature in Philadelphia early today was 13. Both the players and Coach Lcn Casanova hoped for bet ter weather conditions by game time Saturday. The entire Oregon travel ing party was made up of 75 persons. Wives of several players were to follow later in the week. The Webfoot team flew east in a chartered Pan-American plane with Jim McGinnis of Albany the co-pilot. McGinnis has never flown with a losing football team. mented that there is no over emphasis unless emphasis is taken away from something else. Discussing the contention of some that scholarships go ing to football players should go Instead to students engaged in studies in the science, the coach agreed that athletic aid should go to boys qualified scholastically. But, he report ed that only a small per cent- age of scholarships go to ath letes and maintained that foot ball scholarships are actually a profit to a school. All of the other collegiate sports live off football, ac cording to Prothro. If football is dropped, oilier sports will have to be dropped or money diverted from other scholastic departments to support them. Fans do not go to see a loser, Prothro pointed out, indicat ing the need of aid to athletes to build winning grid teams. Paul Haviland was master of ceremonies for the dinner. Head Coaches Bill McKibbin of St. Mary's and Fred Spiegclberg of Medford intro- duced their coaching assist ants, players and school pep staffs.

BOURBON SINCE 1795 MedfordS'wTribune SlMDIffiTS Reputed Underworld Czar Of Boxing, Prosecutor Meet at Senate Inquiry Washington-Urii- FranlcU Carbo, shadowy underworld ruler of boxing, refused to day to answer 30 questions asked him by Senate boxing investigators. Chairman Estei Kefauv r, (D-Tenn.), of the Senate antitrust and monopoly sub committee, said he would press contempt of Congress proceedings against Carbo who was brought from a prison cell to testify. The former prohibition re gunman testified for 35 minutes before he was dis missed with instructions he might be recalled. Ha cited the Fifth amendment at grounds for his refusal to testify. Carbo, serving a two-year prison term in New York for underground boxing ac tivities, was accompanied by his attorney and two fed eral marshals. He gave only his name, his age 5B and his address. To all other questions, he read monotonously the fol lowing statemenii "I cannot be compelled to be a wit ness against myself." By NORMAN G. CORNISH Washington-IUPt-Two hated enemies the reputed under world czar of boxing and the prosecutor who sent him to prison were to face each other again today in a dra matic meeting before Senate boxing investigators. The men are racketeer Frankie Carbo and former N.Y. Dist. Atty. John G. Bon omi, now serving as special counsel and chief questioner for the Senate anti-trust and monopoly subcommittee which is conducting the box ing inquiry. Carbo was brought here by two U.S. marshals from his cell at Riker's Island prison in New York to be quizzed about his alleged role as the underworld kingpin of the fight game. Bonomi conducted the N.Y. investigation which sent Car bo behind bars for two years tor being an undercover fight manager and matchmaker. MEDFORD The lawyer described Carbo as one of the two top gunmen of the Prohibition era and a hoodlum who parlayed fear into great power and influ ence in the boxing world. The other top Prohibition gunman, was Albert Anastasia, the "lord high executioner" of "Murder, Inc." who was shot down by gangland assas sins in a Manhattan hotel bar ber shop several years ago. Known in the underworld as the mysterious "Mr. Grey," Carbo has been accused of controlling some of the top fighters in the country, in cluding first-ranked heavy weight contender, Charles Sonny Liston. Liston denied Tuesday that he know anything about (Jar- bo "dividing up" his contract two years ago with racketeer John J. Vitaic and Frank (Blinky) Palermo, Philadel phia numbers king. Pleads The Fifth Palermo Tuesday refused to answer subcommittee ques tions by taking the Fifth Amendment against self-in crimination. Sub - committee Chairman Estes Kefauver, (D Tenn.), immediately announc ed plans to recommend that Palermo be cited for con tempt of Congress. Vitale took the Fifth Amendment in refusing to an- sewer subcommittee questions last Friday, Kefauver advised Liston. a former cottonpicker, to scrape off any underworld leeches clinging to him and "get your self clean." During his 45-minute ap pearance, Palermo answered only questions concerning his age 55 and marital status mar ried, five children. He then was excused, subject to recall at any time. Among other things, Pa lermo refused to tell investi gators whether he knew Lis ton; how long he had been in boxing, and if he had other interests; whether he knew several boxers or had been associated with them, and whether he was aware of the scope of the hearing. Durocher Says Owners Might Be Blackballing Los Angeles - fUPD - Leo Durocher, who took on um pires, ballplayers and even a commissioner during a base ball career not its serenity, says he might be the victim of a blackball by the major league owners. "The way I've been sizing things up," Durocher told the Los Angeles Examiner today, "they don't seem to want me in the sport." Leo, who used to manage the New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers, said he was not offered the managership of the new Los Angeles Ameri can league entry, although club officials talked to him. Tag Too High They knew I wanted to come back to baseball," Du rocher said. "Horace Stone ham knew it a while back and so did the others. The Los Angeles team could have offered me any decent deal and I would have taken it." The belief was widespread in Southern California that Leo had too big a price tag on his stormy services for thc Angel owners, Gene Autry and Bob Reynolds. He said lie thinks lie may have lost five recent jobs in all - with the Angels, Cubs, Giants, Tigers and Athletics. "I am not concerned so much with losing the Los Angeles job as I am with the general pattern," Durocher said. "Somebody has put in thc knock for me and I don't seem to be wanted.
