MEDFORDtJflTRIBUNI SIPdDMTS Auto Goes Into Crowd At Phoenix By JOHN D. KENDALL Phoenix, Ariz. -(UPII- Injury to 23 spectators when a car crashed into the crowd at Sun day's Bobby Ball 100-mile race cast a new cloud over the auto racing sport, but one official said today it could have been worse. The blue and white HOW special, driven by Elmer George, bounced off another racer at the end of the stretch and crashed through a chain link fence in front of the Fairgrounds' grandstand. "If the crash wall had been stronger." said promoter Mel Martin, "it would have flipped Ihe car over and over into the people." He said this would have made for a higher Injury toll. But the accident as it oc curred was one of the worst of the year in American auto racing. George, of Speedway, Ind., son-in-law of Indianapolis Raceway owner Tony Hoi man, escaped with a deep shoulder laceration. A dozen ambulances carried 17 persons to Good Samaritan hospital, including critically Injured David James, 15, Scot'idale, Ariz., and Fred Gouthicr, 59, Phoenix. S I x others were taken to St. Jo seph's hospital. Several were released after emergency treatment. The race was called imme diately after the accident, with Bobby Marshman, Pottstown, Pa., declared the winner. A. J. Foyt, Houston, Tex (was second and Lloyd Ruby, Hous ton, third. George readily explained the cause of the accident, after inquiring about the condition of the injured. He said he bumped the back of a car driven by Chuck Hulse of Studio City, Calif., and hit the br'kes to slow down. But when he did, the car went into a spin, smashing through the fence into the. spectator area where it flip ped and landed face down.

USC, with an 8-0 record, still has two games to play -against UCLA on Saturday and Notre Dame the follow- Close Races Delay Bowl Selections By GARY KALE UPI Sports Writer Southern California and Wisconsin have settled the Rose Bowl alignment, but the remaining post-season college football assignments may go down to the wire because of close conference conflicts. The top-ranked Trojans of Southern California earned their way to a Tournament of Roses berth last Saturday by beating a surprisingly stub born Navy squad, 13-6. Wisconsin, ranked fourth, paved its way for a West Coast visit with a smashing 39-6 triumph over Illinois. The Badgers are tied with Min nesota for the Big Ten Con ference lead, but the Gophers are ineligible because they made the trip last season. Fifth - ranked Texas can clinch the Southwest Confer ence championship and a Cot ton Bowl invitation by defeat ing or holding Texas A & M to a tie on Thanksgiving Day. Texas reached the pivotal point by downing Texas Chris tian, 14-0, on Saturday to re main a half game in front of ninth-ranked Arkansas, a 9-7 winner over Southern Metho dic. Old Misi Wins Third - ranked Mississippi took undisputed possession of t h e Southeast Conference lead by topping Tennessee, 10-6, but may not clinch the title and the Sugar Bowl bid that could accompany it un til Dec. I when the Rebels play Mississippi Stale. Alabama, ranked second, dropped out of a tie tor the SKC lead when Georgia Tech snapped Ihe Crimson Tide's lD-Rame winning streak, 7-6. Oklahoma moved into Ihe Big Eight lead with a 13-0 victory over sixth-ranked Mis souri and hopes to retain the front - running spot for an Orange Bowl engagement by whipping Nebraska this Sat urday.

If the men of Troy should happen to stub their toes on these two teams (and it doesn't seem likely) Wash ington still has a glimmer of a chance to make it. The Trojans are the Big Six champions. But the Big Six picks what it calls the "most representative" team on the basis of over-all play. Wash ington has a 7-1-1 record and still must play Washington State. And UCS beat the Huskies, 14-0. "We've still got a chance," maintains coach Jim Owens of the Huskies. Only A Ghoit But, inwardly, he must ad mit it's only a ghost. Coach Johnny McKay's USC squad got off the floor to edge Navy, 13-6, on Saturday while UCLA was being drub bed by Washington, 30-0. Their clash this coming week will attract about 60,000 fans to the Coliseum. But the biggest crowd of the day probably will be at Berkeley, where 75,000 are expected to be on hand to see a California team that has a 1-8 record take on Stanford, 4-5. This is the 65th renewal of the annual "big game" a battle that always draws a crowd no matter what the records. In the other major rival ries this week, Oregon, still hopeful of a bowl bit, takes on Oregon State and Washing ton meets Washington Stale. WIN GOLF CAROUSEL Southern Pines, N. C. -IUPII- Pete Tufts of Pinehurst and Clyde Mangum of Southern Pines, operating as a team, won the Southern Pines Ama teur Golf Carousel played on two courses Sunday. Northwestern, tied with the Gophers in the ratings, lost all chances of a Big Ten ti tle by bowing to Michigan Slate. 31-7. Other Bowl aspirants turn ed in eye - catching victories. Penn Stale, which has receiv ed feelers from four bowl groups, routed Holy Cross, 48-20. and Duke clobbered Wake Forrest, 50-0, for an unprecedented third Atlantic Coast Conference Title. Tenth - ranked Louisiana State shutout Mississippi State, 28-0, and Miami of Ohio won a Tangerine Bowl bid bv clipping Cincinnati, 38-16. Central Foe Of Pirates Next Friday Phoenix - Dave Johnson's 62 yard second - quarter run pushed aside the scoring bar rier here on Saturday night and the Phoenix Pirates went on to whip the Elmira High school Falcons in an Oregon Class A-2 quarterfinal foot ball game. Taking complete command in the second half, the District 6 title-bearers raided for two more touchdowns in the final quarter, for a 19 to 0 score, and gained a state semifinal berth for the fourth successive season. John son. a 205 - pound breakaway halfback, rambled across the Falcon goal with just 1V4 minutes left in the second half. Two long drives and a fumble paid off for the Pirate scores. Jon Granby touchdowned from one yard out five plays into the clos ing period and Johnson boom ed over from two yards away with 2:11 left to play. Grennan followed up Gran by's touchdown by ramming for the lone Phoenix conver sion point. Elmira got no closer to the Pirate goal than the 18-yard line where a fumble lost the ball. The triumph placed Phoe nix against Central of Mon mouth - Independence in the A-2 titular round of four. Phoenix will be home team for this fracas on Friday, Nov. 23 at 8 p.m. Central's Panthers and the Pirates col lide in the semis for the third consecutive season. Phoenix scored its eighth victory of the season against one loss and one tie. The loss was the first in 10 games this season for the Falcons. Early pass tries backfired for the Buccaneers. So they earned their victory almost entirely on the ground, de pluming the Falcons with smashes of potent multiple attack - T and single wing. The Pirates of Coach Jack Woodward utilized the run ning talents of big horses Johnson and Granby and ponies Grennan, Jim Cons bruck and Ron Williams. Phoenix Controls Ball It was about an even-sleven conflict until Johnson burst out on a spin reverse for his TD jaunt. It was all Phoenix in the second half. After an exchange of fumbles the Pirates controlled the ball with their running game. They had the ball for 40 scrimmage plays to 14 by the Falcons and ran up 159 yards (unofficial count) and nine of their 16 first down while holding Elmira to a 17 yard net. Elmira failed to get a first down in the second half. Full game scrimmage net yardage favored Phoenix 275 net yards to 86. For its second touchdown Phoenix moved out from its own 46-yard line in the late third quarter and reached the one-yard mark of the Falcons on the third play of the final period. There the Pirates lost the ball on fourth down. But, the Bucs got a second chance. The Falcons fumbled on their first play and Jchn Kerns re covered for first and 10 Phoe nix on the one. The Pirates needed just one play for Gran by's score. Pass Goes for 18 Grennan, Johnson. Wil liams, Granby and Consbruck all were ball packers on this drive. Longest rush was on a keep by Williams for 11 yards. A pass from Williams to Johnson, one of the two that Phoenix completed for the night, was good for 18 yards. The score came with 10:26 left in the game. Next time the Pirates got the ball they barged out from their 25. This 75-yard prome nade used 14 plays. Johnson was called upon most with seven carries but Granby, Grennan and Williams took their turns. Johnson took the ball into Elmira territory with an 18-yard gain to the 36. The Pirates were aided by a 12 yard penalty on the Falcons for face mask grabbing. That put the ball on the 12. But Phoenix after gaining to the three was set back five yards on a procedure call. Two plays later It was first down on the two. Johnson scored from there. Elmira did not get a closing minute comeback chance. Granby recovered a Falcon fumble on the kickoff on the Elmira 30-yard line. When the game ended, Phoenix had the ball on the Falcon 12. Pass Intercepted Elmira was in Phoenix ter ritory three times early in the game. On the running of Tom Tanner, Ken Marquardt and Bob Stackhouse and a Stack house to Cliff Brock pass, the Falcons got to the 34 where Dave Mooers lost the ball on the first of five fumbles which hurt the Willamette valley club, mentored by Don Swartz. Mooers retaliated by inter cepting a Williams' pass. But, the Falcons got only to the Phoenix 29 on a four-yard rushing play. Passes on three other downs fell incomplete. As the second quarter opened, it looked that Elmira was really on the move. The Falcons had taken over on their 42 and gained to the 45 on the last play of the first canto. With Mooers, Stack house, Tanner and Marquardt lugging, the Falcons in nine plays reached the Phoenix 23. Mooers made five more on the next play but the ball slipped from his grasp. Granby Snares Ball Phoenix held Elmira to six yards on its next time with the ball and Granby inter cepted a Mooers' pass to wreck the last chance of the Falcons in the first half. No play netted Elmira more than five yards in the second half, so far as could be deter mined from a press box seat. The most the Falcons gained on a scrimmage series in the last two quarters was seven yards. Longest single rushing gain of the night for the visit ors was a Tanner run for seven yards. Johnson carried 17 times for 127 yards according to un official press box tally. Gren nan packed 15 for 51, Granby 14 for 50 and Consbruck 6 for 25. Williams had a gross gain of 26 yards but a couple of big setbacks and a small one gave him a net of three. For Elmira Mooers had 41 yards for 14 carries. Mud from the playing field soaked into and smeared on the players' jerseys. It was often difficult to determine who had packed the ball. Coach Woodward felt that his Pirates wore down the op position in the second half. He commented on the effec tiveness of the straight ahead plays with the use of the T formation plays and pointed out that defensive shifts made at halftime helped his tpam. All-around play of Granby with his ball packing, de fensive work and blocking drew citation as did the de fensive scrap of Ron Patter son. Granby's d o w n f i e 1 d blocking was an instrument in Johnson's long touch down run. When backs were not packing, they effectively cleared the way and there was fine blocking from line men Greg Esp. John Kerns, Rick Richey. Dave Westfall, Ken Tycksen and Tim O'Mara. Action was on a water soaked field which was muddy in the middle. Rain fell during the day but halted BOWL LADIES INSTRUCTION CLASSES 4 LESSONS-TUESDAY Thru FRIDAY Mm. Start at 1 P.M.-End 2:30 P.M.
