MEDFORDejSTRIBUNE SlPdDIffiTS Italians Prepare For Cup Challenge Sydney, Australia - (UPD - Italy's cocky Davis Cup tennis players, unperturbed by the odds or a bitter controversy surrounding them, went through a heavy workout bat urday in preparation for their historic challenge round matches against Australia be ginning Monday. Professional star Pancho Gonzalez, who admits he is rooting for the Italians be cause of his Latin blood, play ed for 90 minutes at a blister ing pace against Orlando Sir ola and Nicola Pietrangcli. To give the Italians further prac tice, Gonzalez later teamed with Australian pro Mervyn Rose for a doubles workout with Sirola and Pietrangeio. Tile draw for the two open ing singles matches will be made at 4:30 p.m. Christmas day (1:30 a.m., e.s.t.,- Sunday). The first match Monday will start at 1:15 p.m. (10:15 p.m., e.s.t., Sunday). Italy upset the United States team two weeks ago in the inter-zone final at Perth, but is considered an even greater underdog against Australia Most local sportwritcrs are predicting a 4-1 victory for the Australians. The Italians also have been engaged in a running feud with Australian tennis offi cials and reierees since ar riving in this country last Van Brocklin Bill Hayward Dinner Speaker Portland - The Oregon Sportswriters and Sportscast ers Association will have Norm Van Brocklin, former University of Oregon All American quarterback and winner of the Jim Thorpe tro phy for I960, as its guest speaker at the annual Bill Hayward Banquet of Cham pions, on Feb. 16 at the Uni versity of Portland Commons Van Brocklin comes to the Hayward banquet at the peak of his athletic career. Since being traded from the Los An geles Rams, the Dutchman has sparked the Philadelphia Eag les from perennial also-rans into the champions of the East ern division of the National Football league. Norm's brilliant passing and expert signal-calling were con sidered Hie key factors in the Eagles' march to the division title and for his outstanding play was awarded the Jim Thorpe trophy, given annual ly to the performer voted the most outstanding in the league by the NFL players. Van has long been associ ated with champions. While at the University of Oregon he guided the 1948 Wcbfoot team to a berth in the Cotton Bowl and during his tenure with the LA Rams was the key to four divisional titles. Norm was selected as the Rams' most valuable pluycr in 1954 and 1955 and was named LA's most inspirational player in 1954. Highlights of the banquet will include naming of the winners o the Bill Hayward trophy and the Man of the Year trophy. Dyrol Burleson, the great Olympic mller from the University of Oregon, won the Hayward trophy last year, while Fred Spicgclberg, Med ford High school football coach, was awarded the Man of the Year trophy. West Experiences By HAL WOOD San Francisco - (UPD - The all-encompassing sports boom rolled over the West again in 1900, setting attendance rec ords in some places and meet ing lack of interest in others, But the gold rush prospec tors pushed ahead seeking new worlds to conquer In pro fessional sports. Los Angeles, which gnins more new citizens per year than do most states, appeared to be reaching the saturation point. By the close of the year the City of Angels was host to two professional football clubs, two major college grid teams, two major baseball squads and a pro basketball team - just to mention a few activities. Additionally, the city be came the world's fight capital; was the home of the western skin-diving business; and was one of the world's greatest horse racing centers and was fast becoming a mccca for auto racing. Some of the other cities had It even better. Seattle, foi In stance, just about sold out the University of Washington sta dium for every college foot ball game this year. And the northern city drew the biggest , month. They claim they are receiving "second class" treat ment, and during the Victor ian championships Pietrangcli forfeited his match against American Chuck McKinley following a dispute with the referee. Now, Just two days before Italy competes in its first challenge round ever, the feud between the two countries is flaring again. Several Davis Cup officials are claiming that the powerful Sirola frequent ly commits a foot-fault while serving and that this rules in fraction will be called against him in Cup play, Italian Captain Vanni Cane pele stoutly denied this charge and said: "Sirola serves the same way he has served for eight years in places such as Wimbledon, Paris and other tennis capitals. It would be ridiculous to assume that he is foot-faulting at this late date- However, Canepele did ad mit that Sirola s form In prac tice has not been spectacular. AFL Owner Promises NFL Battle New York - (BPD - Despite a loss of $2 million this season the American Football league promised Friday to step up its battle against the more estab- ished National league on tele vision and in the player mar ket next year. Harry Wismcr, president of the New York Titans, said he had lost $350,000 this year but that neither he nor any of the other AFL owners had any idea of throwing in the sponge. No one is going to outbid the Titans for a football play er," Wismer said. "If we need more money, I know where we can get it. There are a lot of millionaires in this coun try." Wismer said that Titan coach Sammy Baugh and his staff and general manager Steve Scbo all will be rehired for 1961. He also announced the appointment of Bill Tack- mann as business manager. Tackmann has been director of sports promotion for New York City for the past five years. Wismer also made the fol lowing announcements: -The Titans will buck the New York Giants' away-from-home telecasts next season by playing their home games on Sundays in the Polo Grounds while the Giants are on the road. The Los Angeles Chargers will play their home games in San Diego's Balboa Stadium in 1961 and televise their games into the home territory of the National league's Los Angeles Rams. The AFL will expand to 10 clubs in 1982, with new fran chises in Chicago and cither Memphis, Tenn., or Jackson ville, Fla. Two more fran chises will be added in 1963. -Oakland, which had a poor team this year, will be back In 1961 and will play all its home games in San Fran cisco's Candlestick Park.

Trippi presently is back field coach at Georgia. As a quarterback on some of Butts' greatest teams in the 1940's he gained AU-American fame for his unerring passing abil ity and deceptive speed. Trippi was voted into the football Hall of Fame in 1959. Missouri's Tigers Hope To Bust Bowl Game Jinx (The following is another of the 10 dispatches on the teams appearing in the major bowl games-the Rose, Cotton, Sugar, Orange and Gator.) By DON SWANSON United Press International Columbu, Mo. - (UPD - Mis souri's Tigers hope the sev enth time is the charm. Missouri will be playing in its seventh post-season bowl game Jan. 2 when it meets Navy in the Orange Bowl, and the Tigers have yet to come out victorious. "I guess it's something of a jinx," Missouri Coach Dan De- vine said. "But we've whipped other jinxes in the past, so it's nothing new for us." The Tigers will be making their third. Orange Bowl ap pearance, having lost to Geor gia Tech, 21-7, in 1939 and to Georgia, 14-0, last year. In other bowl games, Missouri bowed to Fordham, 2-0, in the 1941 Sugar Bowl, lost to Tex as, 40-27, in the 1945 Cotton Bowl and dropped a 24-23 de cision to Clemson in 1948 and 20-7 contest to Maryland in 1949 in Gator Bowl appear ances. One of Finest Teams 'This is one of the finest teams I have ever had the pleasure to coach," Devine said. "We have good team ef fort, good pursuit, and work well as a unit." Mel West, an all-conference halfback and the No. 2 rusher in Missouri's history, leads the Tiger offense. All-Amer ica end Danny Larose is Mis souri's top defensive man. 110 15 9reetm9 bring you . uLVJrr Enough Christmas cheer , rt4vr 2B To 'a! through every wonderful day jpX J?Rro'vj ' All of us at WESTERN FARMERS ASSOCIATION Vjjjrf' (t extend our thanks to our many friends and custo- H j ' mers for their patronage during the past year, ' tL We are all looking forward to serving you in '61. 1 An 4th & Fir Medford SP 3-4061 4 He captained Georgia's unde feated, untied Sugar Bowl championship team in 1947 and led Georgia to victory in the Rose Bowl in 1943, and the Oil Bowl in 1946. He gen erally is considered the great est all-around back in South ern football history. Played for Cardinals Trippi played for the Chi cago Cardinals for almost a decade before returning to Georgia to join Butts' coach ing staff. Following announcement of But West and Larose aren't the whole show. West had a couple of cap able running mates in the Mis souri backfield in halfbacks Norris Stevenson and Donnie Smith. Stevenson's 610 yards rushing was second only to West's 650, and Smith scored 78 points on 13 touchdowns to lead the Big Eight conference. Larose is joined by all-conference tackle Rockne Cal houn and all-conference guard Paul Henley in the Missouri line. All three were regulars on last year's Orange Bowl team which lost to Georgia. Has Good Defense Missouri boasts one of the nation's best defenses, having allowed only 95.1 yards rush ing and passing per game dur ing the regular season. At one time the Tigers led the nation in total defense. Devine this year guided Missouri to its first undefeated and untied season in 70 years, although the mark was a bit tainted. Kansas beat Missouri, 23-7, only to lose the game via forfeit because of an ineligible player. The Missouri coach is wor ried about Navy All-America halfback Joe Bellino and the tough Middie line. "Navy will show us a bet ter line than we faced all year, and Bellino probably is the best running back in the country," Devine said. "Even if we are able to stop Bellino, Navy has a good passing at tack and could ruin us through the air. It'll be a tough game, but I have confi dence in this Missouri team." Butts' resignation, Trippi said the job had not been offered him but that he certainly would consider it if he is ap proached. ' Butts lent support to Trip pi's chances by saying in an interview with United Press International that he hoped his successor would be a Uni versity of Georgia graduate. However, this still left the field open to many other pos sible replacements, who along with Trippi, were tutored un der Butts' regime. Among them were Georgia freshman coach Johnny Grif fith, and assistant Auburn Coach Buck Bradberry. Simple Explanation Butts offered a simple ex planation for leaving the head-coaching spot he has held for the past 22 seasons at Geo gia. "I've been a head coach for 32 years," he said. "That's long enough to be in the coaching business. "I haven't been sick yet," he added quickly. "I can still walk and talk. But I don't want the pressure to take its toll on my heart. "You have to be young to follow the route I have . . . There's nothing I can do now that I haven't done before." Butts' record as head coach at Georgia, including bowl games, stands at 140 victories, 86 defeats and nine ties. Idaho Center Over TOO Mark Moscow, Ida. - HIPD - Ken neth Maren, a towering center from Milwaukee, Wis., be came the first Idaho basket ball player to break the 100 point mark this season when he ran his total to 122 during the Vandals recent four-game trip through the Midwest. Maren, who stands 6 feet, 7'4 inches, leads the team in field goals, free throws and rebounding. But the best shooting eye among the Vandal regulars is that of Reg Carolan, 6-6 cen ter from San Anselmo, Calif, His average from the field is .421 and from the charity line, .909. He is third in re bounds with 37. Maren has 81 and forward Rollie Williams has 47.
