B SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 2, 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON National League Roundup ECen HubbsTies League Record By Unittd Press. International Rookie second baseman Ken Hubbs of the Chicago Cubs tied a major league rec ord of 73 consecutive games without an error Saturday in a 4-3 victory over the Houston Colts. Ron Santo's two-run homer off relief pitcher Don McMa hon put the Cubs ahead to stay in the seventh inning. The blow also scored Dick Bertell and gave the victory to Dick Ellsworth, who was removed for a pinch hitter in the inning. Matches Record Hubbs, a slim, 20-ycar-old from Colton, Calif., matched the major league record of 73 errorless games set by Bobby Doerr of the Boston Red Sox in 1948. Hubbs has not comit ted an error since June 13 when he fumbled a grounder against the Pittsburgh Pi rates. But the rookie came close American League Roundup Ferry First 20-Game By United Press International Ralph Terry became the American league's first 20 game winner Saturday and celebrated the occasion by col lecting three hits to lead the first - place New York Yan kees to a 3-1 victory over the Kansas City Athletics, Deprived of a shutout by Jerry Lumpc's 10th homer In the fourth inning, Terry sin gled home the tying run in the fifth and then coasted in after Elston Howard's two run triple off loser Bill Fisch er broke the deadlock in the sixth. Terry, beaten 10 times this ouse Gives New Life To Hanford Power Plant Plan Washington-IUPU-Tho House has breathed new life into a Senate-approved plan to build the world's largest atomic power plant at Hanford, Wash. On a roll call vole the House abandoned its previous adamant opposition to the plan. The House rejected an ef fort by Rep, James E. Van Zandt (R-Pa.), to nail down its earlier House rejection of n plan to the 800,000-kilowatt power plant. This would be done by Washington Public Power System, which says there would be no cost to the government. Rejected 148 io 246 The roll call vole against the Van Zandt motion was 148 to 246. By this count, the House rejected Van Zandt's effort to iron out differences in an Atomic Energy com mission authorization bill. Van Zandt demanded that the House conferees bo In structed to stand firm and not recede from opposition to the project. Rep. Chct Holificld ID Calif.), chairman of the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy, asked that the House not "tic the hands" of the conferees. "We should find a common meeting ground and bring it back to the House to let you work your will," Holificld told his colleagues. The reversal came as a sharp rebuke by fellow Republicans to Pennsylvania GOP mem bers who, as representatives of coal mining areas, had led the fight against power pro duction at Hnnlord. Just before the Hanford vote, nine of the 16 GOP members from Pennsylvania had incurred the wrath of GOP leaders by voting with Democrats to pass the admin istration's $!i(0 million anti recession public works bill. Tliey got their spanking for this in short order when Republicans in droves desert cd their earlier position against t h e Hanford proj cct and voted against the Van Zandt motion reaffirming the the anti-llanford House stand. Bipartisan Support The view that the House conferees should not be bound to oppose the proposal quick ly gained bi-partisan support. Rep. Mclvin Price (Dill), a member of the Joint commit tee, termed the move an ef fort to disrupt orderly legisla tive processes and as "almost an insult to the other House " Rep. Craig Hosmer (R Calif ), said he and many oth BA7 Guilders Supply QUALITY BLOCKS Chimnayi j4 W McAndrawt PH0NI 773-4575 I fwnitt r-pjL Cancrata to marring his record Satur day when he figured in a mis play at second base in the third inning. An underhand flip by short stop Andre Rodgers sailed by Hubbs at about knee height in an attempted force play at second base, sllowing runner Johnny Temple to continue to third while George Brunet scored an unearned run. Hubbs failed to get his glove down in time and did not touch the ball. The error was charged to Rodgers. Hubbs handled four chances Saturday, bringing his total to 386 during his errorless span. Doerr handled 414 chances in setting the game record which Hubbs tied. Reds Whip Giants In the only other day game played in the National league, the Cincinnati Reds whipped the second-place San Francis co Giants, 10-3. Lefty Joe Nuxhall won his season, scattered seven nits while striking out five and walking two. Fischer suffered his sev enth loss against four vic tories, although this was his scvent straight appearance in which he did not walk a sin gle batter: he has pitched S3 consecutive innings without giving up a base on balls.

So reports Head Coach Bill Stewart concerning the Illi nois Valley High school foot ball outlook. He said it is hoped to pick up some help from the fresh men who will turn out for the first time on Tuesday. Seven lettermen are among 25 prospects who have been working out at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. daily.

By GENE MEAKINS Denver -OJPD- Time is run ning out on the Denver Bron cos in their quest for a top flight quarterback and some one to protect him. The Broncos appear to have adequate strength everywhere except in the offensive line and at quarterback, unless old Frank Tripucka can come up with a brilliant season. The 34-year-old formei- Notre Dame star, who began his pro career at the age of 20, is still capable when he gets pro tection. Only three rookie interior offensive linemen remain on the squad as Denver prepares for its American Football league opener here Friday night. They are John Denvir, 245; Bob McCullough. 240, and Jim Perkins. 250. All played for Colorado Univer sity last season. Coach Jack Faulkner may be able to pick up some help at quarterback or in the of fensive line from late cuts by other pro teams. Tarr Is Fine Prospect Only two other rookies are expected to make the offen sive team-flanker back Jerry Tarr of Oregon University and end Pete Schenck, 195, from Washington State. Tarr, the NCAA hurdles champ, is the fastest man on the squad and could develop into a great re ceiver and kickoff and punt returner. . Hunter Enis, acquired in a trade last winter, may take some of the pressure off Tri- 155, soph. Monty Pope. 160, soph, Donald Doney, 150, soph. Tackles M a r t i n Pickle, 175, heads the list of returning inter ior linemen and should have a fine year. Soph Howard Yar brough. 212, reported in good con dition and has been impressive in early drills. He could be a great help. Greg Petsch. 165. soph., has been working hard and should help Knds McNaught. 135. and Kent field. 145. have been working well. Winland currently out with in juries should come on strong, later. Senior Tom Berkner has been working hard and could be a starter at 150 pounds. Donn Lewis, a senior, has been impres sive with his blocking and could be moved to a guard. Quarterback Gellert, 160, has been the most consistent perform er in early practices and appears set in the pniition. Looked sharp in early passing drills. Kentfield may back him up. Halfbacks Senior Erv Wilcher, 150. has looked very good in early drills. Sophs Roger Hill, 155, and Dan Kihs, 160. should help. Jun ior John Baumgardner, 160, is another excellent prospect. Fullback Thornhill. 170. a re turning regular, should nail down the position easily. He is an ex cellent runner and best defensive back on squad. RECEPTIVE!

Enis is an adequate signal-caller. Faulkner, 36, who took over the head coaching job this season after building San Di ego into the best defensive team in the AFL under Sid Gillman, believes Denver will have a strong defense. "We've got some fine de fensive prospects in backs," said the rookie coach, "and we've got some good lineback ers." In addition, Faulkner is blessed with a real good vet eran defensive line, headed by tackle Bud McFadin, 270. It wasn't the defensive line's fault that Denver lost 11 of its 14 AFL games a year ago. Rookies Add Depth Rookies Larry Jordan, 230 pound end from Voungstown college, and Isaac Lassiter, 270, of St. Augustine college, give added depth to the line. NFL veteran Don Joyce, 260, also adds strength. Standout linebacking rookie is 220-pound Tom Erlandson of Washington State. But the secondary is Faulk ner's pride and joy. He ac quired veteran Bob Zeman from San Diego and has two fine rookies in John McGeev er of Auburn and Charles Marshall of Oregon State. Among the top returning veterans on the Broncos are halfbacks Gene Mingo, Don Stone and speedster Al Fraz ier; fullback Jim Stinnette; end Lionel Taylor, and defen sive backs Goose Gonsouftn and Jim McMillin. Fullback Bo Dickinson and flanker Bob Scarpitto were acquired in trades. "We've got the type of peo ple who want to win," says Faulkner optimistically. "With good morale you can over come a lot of obstacles." FOOTBALL SCORES FRIDAY PRO GAMES Houston Oilers 34, Dallas Texans 31 Denver Broncos 4!, Oakland Raiders J2 SOCIETY CLOTHES MEDFORD OSU Opens Workouts In Football Oregon State University, Cprvallis - Another Oregon State football season, the eighth for Coach Tommy Prothro as Beaver headman, begins here Saturday, with some 19 holdover 1961 letter men answering the first call. The Beavers lost heavily through graduation, most no table of whom were four first line tackles, but still pack a lot of potential as they gird for the opening game against Iowa State at Portland on September 22. Key man, of course, is Terry Baker - regarded by Beaver followers as a "real ail-American." This twice all coast back, first as single wing tailback and then as T quarterback, will direct OSU's winged-T offense, backed up by veteran Rich Brooks and sophomore Gordon Queen. Fumton at Tackle Other lettermen expected Saturday are Tim Ankersen, Ross Cariasa, Dick TieBis schop, Ron Doman, John Far roll, Jim Funston, George Gnoss, Jeff Harris, Enoch James, Fred Jones, Jerry Neil, Paul Seale, Jim Sinyard, John Thomas, Bill Whitehead, Leroy Whittle, Bruce Wil liams and Mike Youngquist. The last named earned his award two years ago. One of the biggest problems will be to replace the depart ed tackles. Veteran reserve Jim Funston from Medford is slated to take over the left tackle slot, with junior re serve Tom Holley at right tackle. One of the brightest prospects of all, however, is a 6-4, 188-pound transfer end from Bakersfield, Calif., nam ed Vern Burke. Prothro expects his 1962 Beavers to be small iu size, reasonably fast and capable of completing the long touch down play at any time in game. There likely will be more emphasis on passing than previously, although Baker is one of the finest runners on the team. THE STORE FOR MEN
