Fanfare By DICK JEWETT Mail Tribune Sports Editor A S FOREHAND SMASH Mexico's Rafael Osuna races to make forehand smash on ball seen in front of him at eye level during match with Jon Douglas in American zone Davis Cup tennis semi-finals at Mexico City Monday. Osuna took match in five sets, 9-7, 6-3, 6-8, 3-6,. 6-1, to give Mexico the team victory. It was the first time Mexico has topped the United Slates in 16 attempts in various cup rounds since 1928 and put her in the American zone finals with Yugo slavia. tUPl) exico Tops US In Tennis First Time A copy of the 1962 football rules of the National Federa tion of State High School Ath letic associations and Nation al Association of Intercol legiate Athletics has been re ceived from the Oregon School Activities association which is allied with the Na tional federation. First rule change listed is the one which makes it man datory that a player wear an intra-oral (within, the mouth) mouth and tooth protector. The big question is: Will the protectors have the desired benefit of 'reducing the num ber of broken and lost teeth or will the rule bring about fiasco? We understand that a few coaches, at least, already are throwing their hands up in despair just thinking about it. MOUTHPIECE MANAGER There are the problems of making sure each and every boy has a mouthpiece, that he knows where it is, and that he wears it when he's in a game thai the mouthpieces don't become lost and that every boy's protector is taken when teams travel away from home. As we see a good num ber of coaches may even cre ate a new position that of mouthpiece manager. BLOCKING RULE " Another new rule states that a blocker may not swing, throw or whip his elbow or forearm so it is moving faster than the blocker's shoulder at the time the elbow, forearm or shoulder contacts the op ponent. Neither is the blocker permitted to contact with his hand or arm an opponent nbove the opponent's should er. Another clause permits all players identical rights as far as the use of hand or arm is concerned after a forward pass which has crossed the line is touched by a player. Rule differences further state that, when a player on de fense uses a hand or arm against an opponent, the hand must be in advance of the el blow at the time of contact. The player on defense is pro- The CREDIT BUREAU IS NOW AUDITING ACCOUNTS for the next REDBOOK! You make your own rating by the way you pay your bills. Pay promptly and make a good rating.

TO ATTEND WHEATON John Champ, Crater high football and track man who was graduated this spring, plans to enter Wheaton col lege, Whealon, 111., this fall. If he goes out for a sport, it likely will be track. FUNSTON BIGGEST As college football teams go Oregon State university may have a pony team this fall. George Pasero, sports editor of the Oregon Journal, points out that biggest play er in the Beaver lineup as it shapes up right now is Jim Funston, tackle from Medford, "who, at 210 pounds, doesn't exactly make the scales groan." GOOD SELLING POINT If every game could be as good as the Salem-Eugene fracas last Thursday, there's no doubt that Class B pro Northwest league baseball would go here also, if a park was available where a regular league schedule could be con ducted. The game was one of four being played at White City this season by the Eugene Emeralds. The next is against the Lewiston Broncs on Mon day, Aug. 13. Central Point Junior Chamber of Commerce is sponsor and has its ticket sale in full swing. The fine game last week should be a fine selling point for attract ing a crowd next Monday. Preliminary figures indicate that the Medford Lions club wound up in the black and in fact made a tidy little prom for its sight and blind fund from its sponsorship of the game last Thursday. FOOTBALL SEASON NEAR Notice of this evening's prep football clinic for of ficials at the senior high school, the stories on the pre parations of the Metro and State all-stars for the Shrine game and the propaganda con cerning pro exhibitions are all reminders that the regular football season is just around the corner. High schools start drills Aug. 27. If prep coach es will send us their notices concerning physical exams, drawing of equipment and op ening drills we'll be glad to print them. WILL CHALLENGE ORTIZ Kingston, Jamaica - iliPIi -Bunny Grant of Jamaica, newly crowned British Em pire lightweight boxing cham pion, is already seeking big ger game in the form of Carlos Ortiz' world crown. Grant, who won the Empire title with a unanimous decision over England's Dave Charnley Saturday night, announced Sunday that he would chal lenge for Ortiz' crown. Mexico City -IUPII- Mexico, the latest country to take ad vantage of the United State's eve r-declining tennis prow ess, eagerly awaited its final round challenge today for the American Zone Davis. Cup finals. The Mexicans defeated the U.S. for the first time ever in Davis Cup play Monday when American collegiate cham pion Rafael Osuna overcame fatigue and a diehard effort by Jon Douglas of Santa Monica, Calif., to beat the for mer Stanford football star, 9-7, 6-3, 6-8, 3-6, 6-1. Osuna's triumph gave Mex ico an unbeatable 3-1 lead in the American Zone semi finals and clfnched its first victory over a U.S. team after 14 fruitless Davis Cup at tempts dating back to 1928. Chuck McKinley of St. Ann, Mo., who had scored the United State's only other point with a singles victory over Osuna on Saturday, staved off an embarrassing Mexican romp when he beat Mario Llamas, 2-6, 4-6, 7-3, 6-3, 6-2 in the meaningless final singles match to end the competition with Mexico the winner, 3-2. Llamas was a last minute substitution for Antonio Ralafox. Mexico now is scheduled to face Yugoslavia Aug. 17-19, with tlie winner of that scr ies moving a step closer to the challenge round. For the U.S., it was anoth er dismal step back in inter national tennis prestige. After sharing tennis supremacy with Australia from the close of the Second World War through 1954, the U.S. has captured the Davis Cup only once in the last eight years. And now the U.S. has been shut out of vhe challenge round for the third straight year, unprecedented in the 62-year history of the Davis Cup.
