MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON TUESDAY. JUNE 11. III! Dave Steen Eyes NCAA Shot Put By JAMES F. COUR Eugene - CP - Boyish-looking University of Oregon shot putter Dave Steen doesn't think much of his chances in the NCAA track champion ship meet at Albuquerque, N.M., this week. "I don't expect to win," the soft spoken 6-foot-4. 220 pound senior from Canada said. "I'm not in Gubner's (Gary Gubner of New York University) class yet." He em phasized the word "yet." But veteran Oregon Coach Bill Bowerman disagreed. "That sounds like some thing Dave would say," he . said. "He's real shy and mod est but always is striving to improve himself. I think he's got a good chance of win ning." Statistics back up Bower man. Steen, who is from Van couver, B.C., holds the top NCAA distance in the shot put this season 61 feet, 8;,i inches. Gubner ranks second at 61-5.- Bubner finished second to Dallas Long of Southern Cali fornia and Steen was fifth in last year's NCAA meet here. Long went 64-7, Gubner had 63-4 and Steen was 58-5V4. In their only meeting this spring, Gubner took second in the Modesto Relays while Steen failed to make the finals. It was the Oregon senior's only loss of the year. The Ducks won the NCAA championship last year but will be without miler Dyrol Burleson, hurdler Jerry Tarr and sprinter Harry Jerome this time around. . "I don't think that the fact that we are defending champ ions and that three of our top men aren't back will put any added pressure on me," Steen said. "The pressure is so tre mendous anyway." The 21-year-old Canadian also has a chance at getting Oregon some points in the dis cus. His best of 177-1 V ranks ninth in the NCAA statistics.

Unit ad Prttt International If you're looking for a brief rundown on Monday's Pacific Coast league action, forget the league standings and game results. Look instead for a couple of off field items from the widely separated cities of Portland, Ore., and San Diego, Calif. Item one: Portland Beaver manager Les Peden was fired and replaced by Danny Carne vale, a scout in the Kansas City organization. Item two: ban Diego pitcher Sammy Ellis was suspended indefinitely for insubordina tion to climax a running dis pute with manager Don Heff ner. Meanwhile, on the playing field. Oklahoma City blanked the Padres 7-0 and Spokane topped Seattle 4-1. Denver dropped a close 8-7 exhibition game to the Minnesota Twins and Dallas -Ft. Worth was rained out at Salt Lake City.

Promoter Elton Owen is trying to line up a suitable opponent for the outsized country boy but so far has been unable to find a top flight heavyweight who is willing to ro against the hef ty Iowa farmer. "We might have to go with a battle royal in order to get enough weight to oppose Cal houn," Owen said today. Calhoun specializes in a "belly flop" in which he slams an opponent to the mat and then dives on him to produce his falls and most wrestlers are not anxious to have 601 pounds dropped on them. Haupert, Peterson Champions In Rogue Valley s Best Ball Bud Haupert and Ken Pe terson have won the men's best ball partnership golf tournament at Rogue Valley Country club. They defeated Pal Soran and Max Larson 1 up in the finale. Winners of the first flight were Bud Wimberley and Dr. Jack Owens. They won from C. A. Holmes and John San ford 4 and 2.

Big Fish in Sump Caught by Youths Central Point - Two young fishermen who reside on Tay lor rd. west of here did not have to go out to Rogue river or some distant lake to catch their 'big one." The two, Dave Harper and Darrell Bohnert, combined their efforts to catch a large goldfish from a sump on the property of Bohnert's par ents, the Don Bohnerts. They reported the fish was 12 inches long and six inches thick. It weighed two pounds. It was lured by a mosquito fly and required seven minutes to land, the boys reported.

For this evening's game at GP Manager Bill Askwith has indicated Larry Mason as pitcher with Bob Corliss in the back up role. Choice for Wednesday's hill work ap pears between Wayne Clay and Larry Pepper. Rest of the lineup will be just about the same as usual. The Studs also have a skir mish set for next Sunday against Tri-Clty at Merrill. Chicago Bears Buy Linebacker Bettis Chicago (UPD The Chicago Bears today acquired veteran linebacker Tom Bettis from the Pittsburgh Steelers for a 1963 draft choice, owner coach George Halas an nounced. ' Bettis, a 233-pound line backer, played seven years with the Green Bay Packers before he was traded to Pitts burgh last year. He played college football at Purdue. are currently in tnird place in the Northern division with a respectable 28-28 record. But this did not satisfy the Kansas City Athletics, parent team of the Beavers. "We hoped the Beavers would be doing better at this stage of the campaign," Hank Peters, Kansas City's farm director, said in announcing Peden's dismall Monday. "We feel a change of managers might perk up the club." The feud between Ellis and Heffner had been building up for some days and finally ex ploded Monday .with Heff ner's statement: "There's not room for both of us on the ball club, either he goes or I go." The suspension was a direct result of an incident Sunday, although Ellis had already been assessed two fines for run-ins with Heffner. When Heffner went to the mound Sunday in the second inning to remove Ellis, the pitcher argued with the man ager for several minutes be fore 4,495 fans. Ellis said Heffner accused him of not doing his best. "Heffner knew my arm has been aching and I didn't want to cause any further damage to it by throwing too hard," Ellis said in his own defense. Ellis, who led the PCL in winning percentage last sea son, had a 5-5 record and was leading the league in strike outs with 90. The Padres did not fare too well on the field Monday night against the pitching of George Brunei. He scattered five hits and fanned 12 for his third win in five decisions. Hardy, Danny Murphy and Solo homers by Carroll Hardy, Danny Murphy and Hal Smith sparked the Okla homa City attack as the 89'ers scored four runs in the sev enth and three more in the eighth to break up a mound duel between Brunct and Scott Breeden. Al Ferrara's hitting and Nick Wllhite's six-hit pitch ing high lighted Spokane's victory at Seattle. Ferrara drove home three of the In dians' four runs with a home run and single. Wilhite lost a shutout when Seattle's Dave Hall hit a bases-empty home run in the eighth. Denver put up a good fight against Minnesota, but a five- run out-burst by the Twins in the eighth inning overcame the Bears' three-run advan tage and settled the issue. iawroMOT.M..i(5mirn.ni r . i LIKE np SUNNY BROOK! ll sunny II BROOK BUNNY II BROOK II umnaa I f--fr 1 II the mild, smooth whiskey for modern tastes People with a taste for today's good living, people like you -like Sunny Brook.
