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

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-

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.

Dale CooSc Hurls No-Hit

runs, on three hits and four
walks.

more runs in the fifth on four
walks and a single tally in
the sixth on one hit, two

day night after his unanimous
decision over Joey Giardello
here, "I want Paul Pender or

13 years in the ring said Giar
dello did not hurt him during
the 10-round bout but called
it his "biggest victory." The
SI 0,000 purse was also the
most money he ever made for
one fight. Benton said he lied
about his age to turn profes
sional at 16.
The 160 - pound middle
weight said "If the offer Is
big enough" he would fight
Giardello again, "lie is about
the toughest and smartest
boxer I have encountered, in
cluding Henry Hank and Dick
Tiger," Benton said.
The disappointed Giardello
said he felt, "I might have
outsmarted myself by being
cute." The South Philadel
phian.who weighed in at 100
also, said he would like to
fight Benton again.

Newspaper Advertising
Hits the Mark with a Large
and Constant Audience
There's nothing hit-or-mis3 about the newspaper audience
-it's a constant audience that varies little throughout the
year. That's because newspaper circulation remains con
stant with little variation from month to month. There is
no summer slump in newspaper reading habits. Further
more, readers can pick their own time-day or night-to
enjoy the paper. And they do-over 107,000,000 of them
every day in the U S. For sure-fire results, advertist
consistently in the daily newspaper.
