At a news conference in Los An geles Monday, they announced that in addi Davey Moore's Death Off Demands For Boxing Ban By JOSEPH A. ST. AMANT United Press International Los Angeles (UPli Reaction was immediate and vehement following the death Monday of boxer Davey Moore despite coroner s report that the principal cause was a "one in a million accident." The 29-year-old fighter died of injuries suffered when his head snapped against the bot ton ring strand on a 10th round knockdown in his featherweight championship bout with Sugar Ramos Thursday. Demands for bans on pro fessional boxing were made throughout the world, includ ing the Vatican Radio and leg islators in California, Connec ticut, New York and the U.S. House of Representatives. But the sport was also de fended by many leading fig ures in the sporting world and by Moore's widow and mother of their five children. Following an autopsy Mon day Moore's body was taken to the Angelus Funeral home where friends were invited to pay respects today.

But Cur phey withheld final judgment that the injury was solely re sponsible. "I'm not prepared to rule out that blows on the jaw might be contributory," he said. "This is not contradic tory to Dr. Courville's state ment that the bruise from the rope was the major factor." Courville said he had never seen a death under such circumstances. The autopsy also revealed Moore took a severe beating to the head and suffered lacerations and contusions of the inner surface of the mouth after he lost his mouthpiece in the fifth round. There were other injuries In cluding a small hemorrhage in the right side of the brain, not sufficient to cause death. Moore Defended Boxing "In summary, his death was due to brain damage as a result of application of blunt force to the head," the coroner's report said. Moore, a champion in the ring and a model of good con duct in private and public life, died three days after the knockout without emerging from a deep coma. He lost Coleman 432.

They summar ized that his death was due to brain dam age as a result of application of blunt force to the head. (UPI) Touches consciousness 40 minutes aft er, the fight and after he had talked to newsmen. Moore himself had defend ed boxing the day before his fatal fight, calling it "a good sport" and saying people who seek to outlaw it are "sick." 'There are a lot of sports that you get crippled and die in," Moore said in a radio interview. "A race driv-:r he can get killed . . , why don't they stop the 500 auto races?" Moore's wife, who was told of her husband's death while in the same hospital for treat ment of shock and fatigue, said "it was God's will." "Davey had planned to quit this year and go into some kind of business." she said. "But we had no definite plans. This would have been his last year." To Discourage Sons She refused to condemn boxing although she said she would discourage her sons from following in their fa ther's footsteps. Asked about Ramos, Mrs. Moore said, "I don't blame him. Accidents can happen in anything. It was unavoidable." Although many state box ing officials deplored Moore's tragic death, they defended the sport. Defend Sport Eugene Rabret, general sec retary of the European Box ing Union, said relatively few fatal accidents in the ring show there is "far less dan ger than people think." Most boxing officials agreed that it was safer now than it has ever been. But many legislators were vigorous in their demands the sport be outlawed. A two-pronged legislative attack designed to make box ing illegal was before the California Legislature today, one a proposed constitutional amendment that would ban the sport and the other that would ask the Stale Athlteic Commission to suspend pro moters' licenses. Rep. Hugh L. Carey (D- N.Y.) said he would introduce a bill in Congress to outlaw professional boxing and Sen. E s t e s Kefauver (D-Tcnn.), said he would reintroduce legislation designed to insure a close check on the physical condition of licensed boxers, j The Vatican Radio asked people everywhere to make : their condemnation of profes sional boxing heard openly so that the sport may be re formed if not Immediately abolished. Specify .HUNGER'S READY-MIX CONCRETE OREGON Fanfare Wow! When there's a state basket ball tournament on at Uni versity of Oregon's McArthur Court in Eugene, collegiate scouts flock to the scene to look for athletic talent for their schools. The 1963 Class A-l meet last week was no exception. But, entertainment talent scouts from Las Vegas, Nov., should have been on hand, too. They missed a bet in not seeing the young ladies from the various competing schools when they performed in their pre-game or halftime inter mission acts. We speak of the dance routines and drill team exhibitions. Those specialty acts h i t their peak - and railed eye brows shook this tourney to its foundation - on Friday night when a couple of lasses from Sandy High school ap peared in next to nothing and did lh hula. But, that wasn't all. One of the sisters cap ped thai presentation with an Egyptian belly dance. At least. that's what this writer thought it was. He d never seen ons live before. She wiggled, she shook, she shimmied. The little she had on looked like it would fly off. The performance was not repeated Saturday night when Sandy played again. We won der, will they ban the state tournament? Double wowll Actually, the state tourney would not have the color it possesses if it were not for the participation of the girls and their lively and rhyth mic stepping. The Medford yell squad young ladies were quite the crowd plcascrs with their costumed routines hobos, mountain girl and beach girl numbers. In fact their latter two renditions of Buttons and Bows" and "By the Sea" drew a few catcalls and whistles. Pleasant sights were the Medford and Grants Pass high rally and pep girls sitting to gether to cheer the Southern Oregon teams on against their foes and the Grants Pass pep band playing for Medford when the Tornado bandsmen were not on hand. Red sweat ers did look strange among the blue. , This was the eighth state tournament we've attended in recent years. And, it seemed that the referees called the games more loosely than bo- fore. They generally did not call infractions on what look ed to be incidental contact. It was nice not to have the con tinual parade to the foul line Games are more interesting that way to both players and spectators. But, there were occasions when contact which was not so incidental was al lowed. There will have to be some fence strengthening in the Southern Oregon conference so far as basketball prestige is concerned. The contention thai District 6 A-l is the toughest league in the slate received pretty strong chal lenge in the big hoop tour ney just past, The emorgence of such schools at Tigard of the Tual atin-Yamhill Valley league and Sandy of the Willamette- Columbia circuit nevertheless. we believe It a healthy thing for preo sports in Oregon as a whole. Strong schools in all the leagues certainly ir.ike the state title picture more unpredictable and more interesting-even if you did like io see your own school win them every year. The concensus feeling about the Black Tornado in the A-l hoop tournament is that "Med- IBM ELECTRIC TYPEWRITER Under IBM $9700 Service Contract M M Call 773-8231 or Can Be Seen Between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. 314 E. 6th For . . .

It matches poll ratings. And, while the Tornadoes had their rough stretches, the only team they lost to in the tourney became the champion. It was further measure of consolation for the Medtords to subdue Grants Pass in the fourth place finale which matched the co-champions of the Southern Oregon confer ence. Not only did the out come give the Hurricanes three victories to two over the Cavemen but it was third straight win for Medford over GP this season. Grants Pass won the draw for the District 6 No. 1 posi tion in the state tournament over the Whirlwind but the Saturday conflict with the Climate cit ytcam "proved" to the Tornadoes that they were tops. The co-championship of ficially remains unchanged, nament highlights. The play between the Southern Oregon schools turn ed out to be one of the tour nament highlight. Jack Fordo looked to be the happiest young man in Mo Arthur Court last Saturday night when the tournament all-star selections were an nounced. His was the first name called. The honor that came to him just shows what the results of diligence and hard work can be. Those two qualities wore descriptive -of the Black Tornado as a team and with the able coaching of Frank Roelandt, earned the Medfords the degree of suc cess they attained. And, now the players apply the quali ties as they move with hardly a let-up into spring sports. MARCH SIGNALED As we look back, there were a couple of remarks by Roe lantlt to the Medford Line backers, which sort of sig naled the sart of the Tor nadoes march io a state tour ney berth. He said, on sep arate occasions: I., think we are awake now and we re starting to think alike which makes a winning combination." 19-7 RECORD Incidenlly Medford's season record on the basketball court for the 1062-1963 campaiun was 10-7. In haste in a story the other day, we listed it as 18-8. The Twister was 5-1 in the preconference action 11-5 for the league and 3-1 for the tourney. SITUATION CHANGES Several years ago, a team could be considered a tough contender in the state lourna men! if it had one good big man. That was changed this year when North Eugene's three big men, with a fourth one in reserve, rr.ade the dif ference. KISS OF DEATH Was South Eugene's basket ball team another victim of the "kiss of death"? That was the opinion in some quarters after Milwaukic knocked the Axeman out of championship running and South Salem spilled the host city team in the third round to prevent It from garnering any tourney honors. An Associated Press poll had rated the Axemen as the top favorites in t h e tournament. TURN TO SPRING SPORTS And, now we turn io high school spring sports - four of them: Baseball, track, tennis and golf. Since we were ab sent from Medford for almost a week, we are a bit behind in getting advance informa tion on the various teams, We'll try to get caught up and into the swing of ii as quickly as we can.

The Maple Leafs, who won the NHL pennant for the first time in 15 years, entertain the once-mighty Montreal Ca nadiens and the Chicago Black Hawks host the Detroit Red Wings in the semi-final openers. The Black Hawks were tabbed at 3-1 in the cup odds, the Canadiens are no better than third choices at 4-1, and the Red Wings are the 7-1 out siders. It marked the first time in eight years that the Cana diens weren't quoted as the pre-playoff favorites. Hobbled by injuries to defensemen Tom Johnson and Lou Fonti nato, they finished third dur ing the regular season, two points back of the Black Hawks and two ahead of the Red Wings. Oddsmakers pegged the Maple Leafs at 81? to 2 favor ites for their opening game against Montreal.
