Howard, Mantle, Apply Punch
As Yanks, Dodgers Widen Gaps
By FRED DOWN
UPI Spoilt Writer
And so,' after all, it looks
like muscle will be the de
cisive factor in the major
league pennant races.
And you couldn't find two
fellows better fitted for that
decisive role than man-mountain
Frank Howard of the Los
Angeles Dodgers and nature
boy Mickey Mantle of the
New York Yankees.
Howard and Mantle struck
the big blows - homers, natch
Wednesday night when the
Dodgers increased their Na
tional league lead to 1 hi
games and the Yankees open
ed up a five-game lead in the
American league. Howard's
homer brought the Dodgers a
1-0 victory over the Houston
Colts while Mantle's homer
produced a 5-2 Yankee win
over the Cleveland Indians.
It was a bad night for the
pursuing Los Angeles Angels
and Minnesota Twins in the
American league and the pant
ing San Francisco Giants in
the National league.
' The Kansas City Athletics
scored a 4-1 victory over the
Angels, the Chicago White
Sox defeated the Twins, 2-1,
In 12 innings and the Cincin
nati Reds beat the Giants, 4-1.
The Milwaukee Braves
downed the Philadelphia
Phillies, 9-0, Tom Cheney
struck out 21 batters to set a
record for a game of any dura
tion in the Washington Sena
tors' 2-1, 16-inning triumph
over the Baltimore Orioles,
and the Boston Red Sox
whipped the Detroit Tigers,
8-6 and 6-2, in the other major
league action.
Puts Yanks Ahead
Mantle's 27th homer of the
season came off Pedro Ramos
in the fifth inning and put the
Yankees ahead, 4-2, after the
Indians gained a temporary
edge on Chuck Essegian's two
run homer. Whitey Ford pitch
ed a six-hitter and struck out
five to win his 16th game for
the Yankees.
Howard's homer, also his
27th, came after Houston's
Ken Johnson had retired the
first 13 Dodgers in order. It
was a 450-foot clout that was
perhaps the longest ever hit in
the Houston park and it stood
up for the win behind the
combined nine-hit pitching of
Pete Richert, Ed Roebuck and
Ron Perranoski. The win went
to Roebuck, making his season
record 10-0.
Orlando Pena wielded the
Jxe against'the Angels with
a four-hitter for his fourth
win. Pena shut out. the An
gels until the ninth when Lee
Thomas homered. Pena sin
gled in a run against Bo Bel
insky in the fifth inning and
Ed Charles hit a key triple in
the eighth.

Record Set
By Cheney
Baltimore -(UPD A beer, a
cigarette and his right arm
rubbed down with ice were
the immediate rewards for
balding Tom Cheney after his
record-breaking feat of strik
ing out 21 Baltimore Orioles
i n 16 innings Wednesday
night.
Feeling a little stiff but
"not particularly tired," Che
ney's explanation for all those
strikeouts was, "I got my
curve ball over consistently
for the first time all year."
Toss in 15 knucklers, an oc
casional screwball, live fast
balls and unusually wide
breaking sliders and you've
got the repertoire that led the
27-year-old Washington Sena
tors' righthander to an all
time strikeout record for
major league games of any
duration.

Sets Strikeout Mark
Tom Cheney struck out 13
batters in the regulation nine
innings and then piled up
eight more in the next seven
before Bud Zipfel's 16th in

strikeouts were the previous
high for a big league game of
any duration - a total reached
in nine innings by Bob Feller
and Sandy Koufax and in
extra-inning games by Jack
Coombs and Warren Spahn.
Eddie Bressoud's three-run
ninth-inning homer lifted the
Red Sox to their opening
game victory and then Frank
Malzone sparked the second
game triumph with a three
run homer. Dick Radatz won
his ninth game in the opener
and Don Schwall his eighth in

for both teams and both still
are reeling from the force of
the blow.
San Francisco lost the
game, 4-1, to drop a game
and a half behind the league
leading Los Angeles Dodgers,
and also lost the services of
Willie Mays, who collapsed
from an apparent attack of
indigestion.
The price of victory for the
Reds was great, for they lost
ace righthander Joey Jay for
an Indefinite period of time.
Jay was struck on the pitch
ing hand by a line drive from
the bat of Chuck Hiller in the
fifth inning.
Mays was carried off on a
stretcher after fainting in the

MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1962
Football Drill
With Mentor
Ashland - Football practice
started off on an optimistic
note Monday at Southern
Oregon college.
With 17 lettermen return
ing from the 1961 Red Raider
eleven which won the Oregon
Collegiate conference cham
pionship, veteran coach Al
Akins has good reason to be
optimistic.
"We may have lost 13 play
ers from last year's squad but
I still must say that this year
we will be belter," Akins ex
claimed. Monday's first turnout of
Raider candidates numbered
47. Aside from the 17 return
ing lettermen, included were
a number of big freshmen and
transfers.
Also in that initial group
were three lettermen from
two years ago, plus all-con
ference Bud Brittsan from the
1957-58 Raider teams. The
three from the 1960 squad
were tackles Neil Green, 230,
and Ron Baker, 195, and line
backer Punk Biddington, 220.
These, plus freshmen Butch
Elliott, 230, from Roseburg,
fullback Skip Bennett from
Medford, 215 -pound guard
Jim Crush and fullback Den
ny Ellis from Creswell also
were in uniform.
The complete back field
from the last two seasons also
is back this fall. It includes
junior quarterback Doug Ol-
sen, senior halfbacks Doyle
Bransom and Kerm Bennett
and senior fullback Al (the
Horse) Barnes.
Olsen's two favorite pass
ing targets, Howard Hartman
and Dave Hughes, also have
returned at the end positions
along with sophomore tackle
Glen Moses and his brother,
George, at center, and sopho
more guard Larry Ryerson.
From the defensive unit
are middle linebacker John
Buck and end Jess Munyon,
both all-conference selections
in 1961. Others are guard

Medford Polishes
For Tilt; Barnes
Has Broken Nose
"We've Just been polishing
up our attack and getting all
phases of the game down," re
ported Head Coach Fred Spie-
gelberg concerning drills this
week of the Medford High
school football team.
The Black Tornado goes to
The Dalles on Friday to open
its slate.
The head man, however,
termed workouts "so-so" and
"hit and miss."
Medford suffered an open
ing game blow yesterday
when Mike Barnes, right half
back, sustained a broken nose
on the first practice scrim
mage play. He is lost for the
game at The Dalles, Spiegel
berg said.
Buettner Hurt
Also possibly out of the first
encounter is Bill Buettner,
right guard. He pulled a neck
muscle in Monday practice.
Ron Edmonds, regarded a
good steady player, likely will
take over at the right half.
Also at the post are Jerry
Stratton and Greg Gandee.
Buettner's injury means, ac
cording to Spiegelbcrg, that
Jim Snodgrass may go "both
ways for a while." Among
those working at the position
are Karol Ritchey and Don
Coltrane. The fact that Dick
Bottjer has had the flu could
hurt defensively at the posi
tion. Barnes, after having been
hobbled by back trouble, had
been coming along well before
last night's mishap.

Generally, Coach Ketith
Tucker and his staff were not
satisfied with defense in a
squad game on Saturday eve
ning. The scrimmage, primar
ily, was offensive. Still gang
tackling was reported fair.
"I'm glad we had the scrim
mage," Tucker remarked. "It
helped us get rid of some of
those pre-game jitters."
Tucker and his aides got to
gether last week end and di
vided the squad into three
units, blue, gold and white.
Blue Crew
On the No. 1, or blue, crew
are Joe Lawrence, quarter
back; Steve Cyphers, fullback;
Mark Jensen, left halfback;
Paul Dims, right halfback;
Steve Lawrence, center; Bob
Rooper and Jerry Command
er, guards; Paul McCoy and
Rick McReynolds, tackles; and
Ron Rowland and Steve Huff,
left end.
Tucker said that the three
units each will go offense and
defense this season with only
one change. Ken Jacoux of the
gold crew will be at end on
the blue defense with Ron
Rowland going to linebacker.
It was not reported which
blue player is sidelined when
his unit is on defense.
Two players who saw duty
against Medford last season
were not "invited" out by In
dian coaches this fall. Said
TD Chronicle Sports Editor
Rod Geier, "They evidently
prefer breaking training rules
and don't care who knows it."

men returning, including one
for almost every position.
Still he says, "We will be
pretty green this year. I have
several seniors, but they
haven't had much experience.
We will depend largely on
juniors and seniors."
The lettermen are Mike
Beymer, Elton Schiro and
Joe Kerns, ends; Charlie

ry and Gary Fuller, guards;
Don Breithaupt, center; Earl
Allbritton and Steve Rand,

Fights for Life
Jim Sclkregg, a promising
junior speedster, suffered a
fractured vertabrae. Weber,
in an earlier report, said that
the injury was not considered
serious. In a later note, writ
ten to the Mail Tribune, he
said, however, that the frac
ture smashed Selkregg's spi
nal cord. The youth is at
Travis Air Force base hos
pital, not only facing the
possibility of having a per
manent injury but fighting
for his life.
Weber told the Klamath
Falls Herald and News that
he was pleased with several
non-lettermen and transfers
who will add depth to the
squad. They include 6-4 Dick
Johnson, Sammy Cox and Bill
Stailey, tackles; Randy Davis,
end; Phil Hale, Fred Rod
riquez and Levoy Young, half
backs, and David Coleman,
fullback. Davis transferred
from North Carolina and
Young from Alturas, Calif.
