J i; THURSDAY. JUNE 20. 1963 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON clor Says He Prefers a DeckTo Dromedary Br H. AUGUST DEBELIUS Madrid - H'PIl - Handsome, iwarthy Omar Sharif, the man who has been billed as filmdom's successor to Rudolf Valentino and Ramon Navar ro, admits he prefers bridge to camel-riding. "In fact," he said, "I never laid eyes on a camel until I had to ride one in 'Lawrence of Arabia,' and I hope I nev er see one again." Sharif, better known as an actor than a card player, took part in several international bridge competitions for his native Egypt. , He now Is starring in the Samuel Bronston film spec tacular "The Fall Of The Ro man Empire" as the King of Armenia. Wearing a purple shirt and dark purple tie instead of a bedshect, the actor sipped Spanish cognac in his elegant Madrid apartment and said: "I'm resisting the Valentino image. It's too much of a strain." The slightly accented Eng lish of the Cairo - born son of a lumber merchant was exotic, but his phrases were positive and exact. "I want to get off this Valentino kick," he said. His long, wavy black hair curled over the collar of his light gray sports jacket. The six-footer leaned forward and his large hands gesticulated. Sheiks Art Out "Let's face it," he said, "sheiks are out." He lit a cigarette and wav ed the smoke away from in front of his deep-set brown eyes. "Women now prefer un combed hair and the Twist," he said. "The tastes of wom en have changed. I'm not wor ried, and the reason is I have not got plastered down hair. But I'm keeping away from the desert pix. I don't want to spend the rest of my ca reer on a camel. "I like to be a demigod like Valentino, but it would be big strain. I made a point of seeing 'Son of the Shiek so I'd know what to stay away from." He also claimed that any similarity between him and Valentino or Navarro as far as romance goes also was mis taken. . "In my first English-language picture," he said, "I didn't have one girl. That was in 'Lawrence.' In ""The Fall of the Roman Empire,' I'm supposed to be married to Sofia Loren, which Isn't so bad but she's supposed to be in love with somebody else. And in my next picture, 'The 25th Hour," I'm a Roman Catholic priest, I never get a girl." 7 H, - .fV - ;! , a- TT-'., J, ' i 1 f;?: --: L i .

No body has hit it yet." The man was over-stating the case, of course, because somebody hits slot machines just often enough to keep the customers coming back. Gam bling is not only legal in Ne vada, it is on the level. The odds against a roulette playci are about five per cent, but he knows that when he goes into the game. When a ganv bling house covers all bets in a dice game, the odds against the players are at least 1.4 per cent. Just stay there long enough and you will lose your shirt. The only thing a legal gam bling house has to worry about is to keep enough cash on hand to tide itself over when a high-rolling player gets hot. Sooner or later the odds will begin to work and the man who hasn't sense enough to quit when he is well ahead goes broke. The legend about the man who broke the bank at Monte Car lo is a pretty story, but it's fiction. Horse bettors are a melan choly breed of men, anywpy. but they complain loudly about the injustice of pari mutucl betting. What it means is that it is legal in many states to bet on a horse pro vided you are on the premises of the track. If you walk a block away from the track betting Is illegal. Now the horse players have another com plaint. Several years ago the Internal Reve nue Service issued orders that any person winning more than $000 on a $2 bet would have to identify himself to collect his money. This happens most ly in the daily double. You pick horses in the first and second races for the price of single ticket, and if your selections win the odds usual ly are good. On Oct. 3, 1960, the rule struck Belmont Park In New York with some strange re sults. The daily double paid $6P3 for every $2 ticket pu' chased and the winners were invited to collect their money by Identifying themselves by Social Security cards or driver's license. The track an nounced that the identity f the winners would have to oe reported to the Internal Reve nue Service. At twilight, when all the horse players had gone home, the track still had $46,477 un claimed by winners of the daily double. For reasons of their own, the persons holding the tickets preferred to pass up the money rather than identify themselves, and the state treasury profited accord mgly. on sports events in the United States and from time to tine attempts are made to fix the games. The most notorious at tempt was successful - gam blers got to enough members of the 1919 Chicago Wh.U Sox to allow the Cincinnati Reds to win the World Series. The White Sox may have been the greatest baseball team i ever assembled and the public made them such heavy betting ' HwhI' l -I' ' ' " ), o.

It might be quite an adventure to spend next year's family budget for a thousand unmarked cartons! But would you want to have to feed, clothe, amuse and maintain your family on the contents? Too much of a gamble-isn't it? Especially when you know that you can confi dently spend your money for quality goods you know and trust-goods proudly trademarked with manufacturers' brand names. And advertised brand names mean even more to you than your biggest money's worth and peace of mind.These products are the heart of America's economy. Their tremendous planned production means economic stability and steady employment. You know them well. They're the kind of products advertised in this newspaper. Depend on them. pr T CONPIDSNCI BRAND, NAMES LEADERSHIP BRANDS ARE YOUR BEST BUY Tremendous sums are bet fdvorites that the gamblers got attractive odds. College basketball scandals have been common in recent years, but a new element has entered the wagering. The gamblers don't ask an athlete to lose the game but merely to "shave the points." Team A is a six-point favorite over Team B. A gambler takes Team B plus six points and then bribes a couple of ath letes on Team A to insure that they don't win by more than five. The recent suspension of Paul Hornung of the Green Bay Packers and Alex Karras of the Detroit Lions of the National Football league has raised the problem on wheth er it is ethical for an athlete to bet on himself or on hi own team. This Issue is hotly debated on the first tee ut many country clubs as soon as the members of the four some get through -putting ur the bets on themselves for the day's play.
