Yreka Tips Ashlanders Nine 6-5 Ashland - An Ashland high baseball threat stopped short in the seventh inning here yes terday and Yreka, Calif., beat the Grizzlies 6 to 5 in a non league game. The Grizzlies came to bat in the bottom of the seventh lagging 3 to 6. After one out, three walks loaded the bases. Steve Harris smacked a line drive to right field that might have meant Ashland triumph had it gone through but the ball was caught for the second out. Jerry Dickerson scored after the catch and Larry Pierce singled to score Galen Roberson. Rick Perce, how ever, grounded out and the game was over. Yreka tabulated in four dif ferent innings with the mark ers each time coming after two were out. The Miners got three in the fifth on three walks, two errors and a hit batter. Ashland picked up three counters in the third inning on five bases on balls, an error and a hit by Dick erson. The Grizzlies were to play at Prospect this afternoon.

Shortstop Dave Hughes' two-run homer in the first in ning got the league-leading Raiders off and running to their fifth straight OCC win without a loss. Solid hurling by Don Van nice, Earle Tichenor and Larry Carr put the third-place Owls down on nine hits and one unearned run which was the result of two Raider field ing errors in the fifth inning. Vannice started for the Raiders, but retired after two innings after giving up four Tech hits. Tichenor, the win ner, took over at that point and gave up only five Owl safeties while' striking out two before giving way to Carr who hurled the final Inning. The stocky Raider freshman fanned all three men he faced. Hughes' roundtripper in the first, a line shot over the right-center field fence at the 360 foot mark, chased home teammate Joe Funderburg who had been aboard via an Owl error. Sacrifice Flies Two more SOC counters came home in the third as Funderburg was again safe on an Owl miscue, followed by a single over the, shortstop's glove by Damien ftossetto and timely sacrifice flies by Hughes and Kerm McLemore. Another Tech miscue put John Buck on first to lead off the fourth frame. John Cook, the Raider's leading hitter of the afternoon with a three-for-four performance, singled to right. Eldon Francis sacri ficed with Buck scoring all the way from second and Cook moving to third, scoring seconds later as he stole home against OTI loser, Gene Bran son. , Two more Raider markers crossed the plate in the fifth as McLemore singled, catcher Jess Munyon doubled off the fence in deep right, and Cook rifled a single which scored both runners. Branson who was reached for. 10 SOC hits in the first five innings, was pulled by OTI coach Jim Cordial in favor of Max McKibbon in the sixth. McKibbon allowed the Raiders only two hits the rest of the way, one by Mike Parsons in 'the sixth and another by Cook : in the seventh. Lone OTI Tally Cook's one-baser put Ray Endicott, who had been hit by a pitched ball, on third from which he scored when Francis was safe on the fifth OTI er ror of the game. Oregon , Tech's lone tally came in the fifth off Tichenor as Branson was safe on Mc Lemore's bobble at third, a throwing error by . Buck at first, a fielders choice which erased Bransom at third and a run-scoring single to left center by Don Gresdel which plated Ramseyer. Three timely double plays by the Raider defense wiped out Owl scoring threats in the fifth, sixth and eighth innings. McLemore and Francis each had two hits to back up the deadly one - two punch of Hughes and Cook. The unbeaten Raiders host Portland State (2-0) in a three eame series herp thic wont end.

NFL Studies Plans for Disaster San Francisco -4UPD- Nation al Football league executives went into session today to study proposals for a disaster plan that might in the future affect their loop, one of the biggest money making organi zations in sports history. ' : The officials will consider a program for restocking a team in case it should happen to lose all its players and coaches in a plane accident, a hotel fire or some other inci dent such .as a bomb being dropped on training quarters. "We have no set plan in mind," said Commissioner Pete Rozelle, "but it is proba ble that something will be worked out along the lines we used to stock the Dallas Cow boys and Minnesota Vikings.-' In this plan each club made available a few players-usual-ly second-line talent. Trade Ideas The first two days of the convention mostly involved general managers and coaches. They traded ideas on how to handle business problems. Meanwhile trade rumors floated around the lobbies of the Fairmont hotel, and most were denied as fast as they materialized. One was that the San Fran cisco Forty Niners would send veteran quarterback Y. A. Tit tle to Los Angeles. The Rams then would send either Zeke Bratkowski or Frank Ryan, both quarterbacks, to the Green Bay Packers. The Pack ers then would send one of their top young players to the Forty Niners. "So help me," said Elroy Hirsch, general manager of the Rams, "I haven't even talked to the Green Bay Pack ers. At least about this."
