Evernham Out At Medford Coach Fred Spiegelberg has reported prac tices "going strong." Work outs have stressed going over defenses to stop the Indians and polishing the Tornado's own defense. The coacti reported the Tor nado crew "pretty healthy." Guard Dean Evernham, how ever, has been lost to the squad because of a knee in jury. Hammons has a bad cut on his little finger, ripped on a helmet in the GP game and tackle Jeff Hardrath is recup erating from a pinched neck nerve. Both were out for prac tice yesterday for the first time this week and both are expected to play. Spiegelberg reported h i s crew relaxed this week after the mighty effort against Grants Pass. He is hopeful, naturally, that the club will be fired up high again on Fri day night. "They want to win, I know," Spiegelberg remark ed. The Medford coaches faced some hard decisions this week and the same must hold true for Roseburg mentor Roy Thompson and his staff. Only 33 players may be in uniform for the game. The Tornado has had nearly 50 boys in uniform for a number of 1962 appearances.

(Landis photo) Will Mays Purchases SF House San Francisco (UPI) It took Willie Mays the better part of five years to convince San Francisco fans that he was in the same class as Joe Di Maggio. And it took San Franciscans just about the same amount of time to convince Willie that this is "home." Mays purchased a home for an estimated $85,000 in a fash ionable district of the city the other day - high on a hill where the views are spectacu lar on a clear day, but where the fog closes it right down to your shoestrings on many nights. It is the setting for the home of a true San Franciscan - and Willie now is just about ready to become that. City Full of Friends He still likes New York City, but he'll leave here this week end to spend a few days in the metropolis. That's all he wants there. He's happy, finally, in San Francisco. He has made friends in all walks of life and is, by all odds, the most important sports celebrity in the city surpassing DiMaggio, Lefty O Doul and others. Medford'Tribuni 1 1 Seniors in Last Fuller Field Tussle Ashland - Eleven Southern Oregon College seniors will play their last football game on Fuller field this Saturday when the Raiders meet the Weber college Wildcats at 1:30 p.m. "Southern Oregon College will be in trouble next year, with the loss of these boys." The source of this statement wishes to remain unknown. However, with the loss of these 11. Raider chief Al Akins will be looking for two offensive ends, along with two halfbacks and a fullback. Graduation will take John Buck, Jess Munyon. Glenn Vandergaw. Dave Graham, and Milford C. (Punkl Bid dington from the defensive unit. Munyon and Vandergaw have seen action all season in the line, with Munyon and receiving in the Oregon Col legiate conference. Bud Brilt san, a starting guard, will also be taken by graduation. From the offensive back field, graduation will take the three B-boys from Central Point. These three are in the person of Kerm Bennett, left half, Doyle Branson, right half, and Al Barnes, fullback. All three have started regu larly throughout the season and will be a great loss to the Southern Oregon offensive punch. Akins said that these 11 "have been a great bunch of seniors and all have really produced this season." It is a custom at Southern Oregon, established by Akins, to make When Will Ducks Beat Big Power? By HOWARD APPLEGATE Portland - IUP1I - "When," asked a football fan, "are the Webfools going to beat an in- tersectional opponent with a big name?" "What do you mean!?" came the retort. "They've got a fine intersectional record. Air Force, Utah, Rice this year, West Virginia a couple of years ago, Nebraska on television a few seasons back "Yes, but what about the really big names?" the fan asked. "Oregon seems to get the jitters against them." Then, he challenged, "look at the records." Jitters or jinx or simply out classed, the records since World War II show the fan was about right as far as per ennial power intersectional opponents go. the webfools have never won a game from a Big 10 rival. They've lost three bowl games, 1949 Cotton to SMU, 1958 Rose to Ohio Slate and 1961 Liberty to Penn Slate Oregon has played Michi gan twice - in 1948 and 1960 - and lost; it lost to Iowa in 1949; to Texas in 1956 and this year; to Pittsburgh in 1956 and 1957; to Oklahoma in 1958; to Minnesota in 1961 and to Ohio State in a regular season game last year. This season Oregon has won from exeryone except Texas and Washington - the only teams it's played that are ranked in the top 20. And it was ahead of both of them only to fall victim to that old jinx, hex or whatever you want to call it, Oregon has one of its finest teams - no argument about that. It's ranked 11th in the nation by the UPI Board of Coaches. The Ducks want an other crack against Texas in the Cotton Bowl. But first comes another big lest. Ohio State in that giant 82,000 seat stadium at Colum bus. The Webfools will give their all - as Coach Len Casanova's teams always do. They out rank the Buckeyes and have a better season's record. But the oddsmakcrs perhaps eyeing Oregon's past perform ances, installed Ohio Stale a two-point favorite. It will be up to die (his year's Wcbfoots to prove them - and our fan - wrong. Boston -IUPII- Fireballer Don Drysdale of the Los Angeles Dodgers, whose 25 victories made him the National league's biggest winner since 1956, today was named win ner of the Cy Young award as the major leagues' pitcher of the year. The 26-year-old right-hander, who never won more than 17 games in any previous big league season, received 14 ot the votes cast by the 20-man committee of the Baseball Writers association of Amer ica. Jack Sanford, 24-game win ner for the San Francisco Gi ants, was second in the voting with four votes and one vote each went to 23-game winner Bob Purkey of the Cincinnati Reds and 16-game winner Bil ly Pierce of the Giants. Not a single vote was cast tor an American leaguer de spite the fact that Ralph Ter ry of the New York Yankees, Dick Donovan of the Cleve land Indians, Camilo Pascual of the Minnesota Twins and Ray Herbert of the Chicago White Sox were 20-game win ners. The committee was com posed of 10 National league and 10 American league writers.

Clay Takes On Arch in 12-Rounder By ALEX KAHN UPI Sports Writer Los Angeles - IUPII - Cassius Clay takes the case for youth before a jury of 15,000 boxing fans tonight when he meets the aging but still agile Ar chie Moore in a 12-round heavyweight elimination bout. Aside from the rich purses each will earn tonight - minimum of $75,000 f o r Moore and $40,000 for Clay the winner will rate consider ation from Sonny Liston for a title bout. The bout also is being carried nationally on closer circuit television. Liston flew here to take in the Sports Arena bout be tween the two contenders for his recently won crown and his advisor, Jack Nilson, indi cated he was receptive to offers. Clay 2-1 Favorite Prior to the weighing in ceremony, the 20 -year -old Clay was 2-1 favorite over Moore. The Louisville, Ky youngster who rates also as a contender for the perpetual talking title, impressed ob servers with his speed and punching power in gymna sium workouts. Clay, however, has engaged in only 15 pro fights, winning them all, but it is questionable if he has met anyone as versed in ring lore as Moore. But Clay from the first picked himself to win by a knockout in four rounds. And his declaration that he Intends to "retire the old man" has af fronted Moore. Burke Tops Pass Yards New York -IUPII- John Sim mors of Tulsa and Vern Burke of Oregon State both appear in good position today to break all-time major col lege football records for pass receiving. Ironically, the holder of both records, Washington State's Hugh Campbell, third behind Simmons and Burke this season but appar ently won't be able to do anything to prevent the loss of his marks. Simmons recaptured the top position in pass receiving with 12 catches against Houston I last Saturday and now has a total of 58 for the season, the most ever recorded in eight games by a major college re- ! cciver. Campbell set the stand ard for a single campaign with 66 two years ago and Sim ! moils still has two games in which to break it. i Burke is second in pass re I ccptions with 55, also more Mhan Campbell's eight -game total in I960, but Is far in front in yardage gained with 864 to Simmons' 7B0. The Ore gon State junior is just 17 yards shy of equalling the all-time high of 881 yards in c season, a record bIso owned by Campbell.
