SECTION B PAGES 1 to 8 MEDFORDsTRIBUNB MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY. DECEMBER 22. I960 Comets Will Travel To Take On Bobcats Central Point Crater nigh s basketball Comets wind up their pre-Southern Oregon conference warmup Friday night by testing their prowess against a team rated "best in state." The Comets travel to Myrtle Point for their sixth scrape in the pre-holiday contention. Myrtle Point's Bobcats head both the Oregonian and Ore gon Journal prep ranking polls for A-2 classification, swinging with gusto into bas ketball after having claimed the state football runner-up laurels in their class. Record show the Bobcats with a string of six triumphs on the mapleboards. They are unbeaten. MP has won hand- Bob Lilly Becoming Legendary By HAL WOOD United Press International San Francisco (UPD There's lad named Bob Lilly from down Texas way who is on the road to becoming another living legend of the West. Lilly is a 250-pound guard who hails from Texas Chris tian and who will be playing for the West in the East-West Shrine game here Dec. 31. "When Lilly has a bad day," says Abe Martin, his coach at TCU and an aide in the all-star tilt, "he still plays better than the average foot ball player. But when he has a good day, he's out of this world." According to Martin, Lilly is a cinch in the professional ranks. The lad is only 21, stands 6-4-and still is growing. By the time he's a seasoned pro he'll probably scale around 270. "He's the best man I've ever had for the pro ranks," says Martin. "He can play tackle, guard, linebacker or defensive end. He can play on either offense or defense. He moves around fast. He'll Make It "When he is having a good day he makes tackles all over the field. Whoever he plays for. he'll make it." One of the best things Mar tin liked about Lilly is the way the lad got into TCU. "We remembered him as a high school kid at Throck morton, Tex.," said Martin. "Then he moved to Oregon. We wrote a letter to him ask ing if he would like to come to TCU. We got a letter back from his dad saying he would. We offered a scholarship. So we got him for a 3-cent stamp. On top of that, he hitch-hiked the 1700 miles down to our school during the summer months to make sure we'd let him in." Lilly played high school football at Pendleton in Ore gon. Lilly is so strong, says Mar tin, that he often picks up small sports cars just for the fun of it. Martin quotes one of the other players about big Bob: "If I were as big and strong as he is," said the man, "I'd charge other folks just to live." ily over Myrtle Creek, Sisus law and Reedsports. The closest call for the Bobcats was in a 46 to 43 nod over Powers. Work on Offense Crater this week, according to Coach Lloyd Hoffine, has concentrated mostly on of fense against zone defense. Myrtle Point is reported to rely much on zone on its small court. Hoffine said that Comet for wards may be chosen from among Jeff Anhorn, Tom White and Jim Allen and guards from among Louis Al varez, Mike Glines and Loyal Higinbotham for the tussle with Dennis Edwards slated for the post. Edwards, however, has mis sed a couple of practices be cause of doctor appointments. He is troubled by a pulled back muscle. Willie Jones, who has been looking good in drill of late and who has seen quite a bit of jayvee service, possibly will get a bit more varisty duty, according to the coach. Crater will open the South ern Oregon conference at Cen tral Point against Medford on Dec. 29. Washington Gets Few Concessions Long Beach, Calif. - (UPD -Warm Southern California weather isn't slowing down coach Jim Owens' determina tion to work his University of Washington Huskies into top shape for the Rose Bowl game Jan. 2 against Minneso ta. "We're not slowing down a bit," said Owens today. "We need the work." Embarked on twice - daily drills, Owens allowed the team a small concession Wed nesday when he delayed the afternoon practice until sun down because of mid-80 de gree temperatures. He even allowed the 40 boys to take a 10-mintite swim after the grueling morning drill, but those wore his only concessions because he still believes the team has no "snap." Owens alternated quarter backs Bob Hivner and Bob Schloredt in drills emphasiz ing passing. The passers were on target but their receivers frequently dropped the ball. Pasadena, Calif. -(UPD- Min nesota's Golden Gophers, who have no intention of being trampled by Washington in the Rose Bowl Jan. 2 as were the Badgers of Wisconsin a year ago, rrlurned to their twice-daily drills today. Coach Murray Warmath, who reminds some local fans of the late Henry (Red) Sand ers of UCLA with his . Ten nessee background and dry humor, Wednesday drilled "his national champions and Big Ten champions on defense in side the 10-yard line. Crater High Mat Team Defeats Ashland 36-18 Ashland Crater high won both ends of a wrestling matching against the Ashland Grizzlies here yesterday. The Comets took the varsity encounter 36 to 18 and the junior varsity engagement 30 to 23. Crater varsity grapplers won eight of the 13 macthes. Eight of the scuffles ended by falls.

A hunting license is not required at the time of applying but is necessary be fore participating in any hunt. Applicants are cautioned to apply for only one county since duplicate applications will be discarded.

(UPI Telephoto) Paul Pagan Leaves Indellihle Imprirrf By HAL WOOD United Press International San Francisco - (UPU - The faces come and they go in the world of sports. Some you re member, some you forget-and others leave an indellible im- print. Paul I. Fagan, who died the other day, was a multi-million aire who didn t particularly care for sports-but got into them for lack of something else to do. My doctor told me I should have a hobby," Fagan told me one evening as we sat on the lanai of his home on the island of Molokai in the Sandwich Islands. So I bought a race horse. Then I used to go to the race tracks and make a little bet of S2 on him." Then with a blush, he add ed: "But I heard someone call me 'one horse Faban'. I didn't want to own a big stable of race horses, so I got out of that business." Next some friends suggested that maybe Paul should buy a baseball club. Turns to Baseball "I hadn't seen a baseball game since I was a little boy," said Fagan. "But it sounded like a good idea. I knew that the Seals would be a good investment-just for the physi cal property." , So Fagan bought a one-third share in the club in 1946 and immediately arranged to train the team in Hawaii. Later he bought the whole club with a total outlay of $750,000. He had ideas about sports far advanced for his time-the post-war years when every body was making money. "I don't believe San Fran cisco should be playing minor league ball," he said. "San Francisco is not minor league. We have a major league op era. We have makor league football. Why not major league baseball?" He didn't understand the in tricate working of the nation al baseball structure. "Major league is just some thing they call themselves in the American and National leagues," he said time and again. "If we think we are major league, why don't we call ourselves major league?" He did finally succeed in getting the major leagues to put in a new "open" classifi cation for the PCL. It was the first step in bringing major league baseball to the West Coast. But he had' other ideas about baseball players, too. War on Sloppiness ., "Just because a man is an athlete is no reason he should look like a tramp," Fagan claimed. And he issued orders that his players should wear ties when on the road. He also installed a barber's chair in the Seals' dressing room. If he thought a player looked sloppy on the field, he sold him. He thought peanut shells were too expensive to clean up after a game and ordered them banned from the Seals Stadium. It was his first big run-in with the fans and the press. Baseball without pea nuts? He backed down. Fagan was a sensitive soul who never should have been in sports. He couldn't stand the criticism and the contin ued harassment from fans and press when the club was going badly. But he brought new blood, money and ideas in the game of baseball that will live long after him". , Grapplers Go To GP Medford high wrestlers on Friday anticipate their tough est match so far this season. The Tornado matmen go to Grants Pass. The GP Cave men hold a 45 to 12 victory over Ashland, which Medford has defeated 35 to 13.

Onslow left the White Sox in 1951 and joined the Boston Red Sox as a scout, a position he held until his death. .1 Passing Against Rushing in Pro Titular Tussle New York -(UPD- It'll be the Philadelphia Eagles' passing against the Green Bay Pack ers crunching ground offen sive in next Mond-.y's Nation al Football league title game.
