Rogue Valley Youths
May Be Starters in
Shrine Grid Tussle
LaGrande Charles Pome-
roy, Eagle Point, and Dave
Johnson, Phoenix, are pos
sible offensive starters for
the East in the East-West
Shrine football game. And,
Jim Calhoun. St. Mary's of
Medford. will start on de
fense and possibly on offense.
That was the indication
yesterday of Bill Hargadine.
Central Union, head coach of
the East aggregation.
East is training here for
the Saturday night tussle of
players from A-l and B
schools. The, game will be at
the Roundup grounds at Pen
dleton. Hargadine said that Pome
roy is looking quite well and
likely will start at tight end
on offense. He has been doing
a good job with his blocking
in drills. Pomeroy also is be
ing groomed for spot defen
sive work at end.
Calhoun is slated to open
at safety. Whether he gets to
start at quarterback depends
on the condition of Greg
Hartman, Central Union.

naturally, in Hargadine's of-

aggravating a tooth infection.
He returned to the squad
Tuesday afternoon after be
ing out of action since Fri
day. Picks Up Offense
Hargadine reported that
Calhoun has picked up the
offense quite well and, as it
looked yesterday may start
at quarter. The ex-Crusader
has been doing a good job
passing and will do the punt
ing for East.
Johnson has been figured
to start at fullback. But, in
Friday's scrimmage, he
bruised a calf and thigh. The
injury has bothered Dave
quite a bit and he hasn't
seemed to be able to get over
it. Hargadine, of course hopes
that by Saturday, Johnson
will be ready to go. "He
probably will start if he gets
in shape," the coach said.
The Central tutor reported
that his East charges were
starting to pick up a little
moralewise. He stated that
offensive timing was setting
to be pretty good.

Fanfare
"It was the greatest thrill
of my life," declared Crater
high's Mike Glines. "Great,
great, it was really fine."
He spoke of his participa
tion in the State-Metro Shrine
All-Star football game last
Saturday at Portland. Glines,
a three-sport man at Crater,
from which he was graduated
last spring, was a back for the
state team.
"I think it was the coaching
that won it," said Glines.
State won 27 to 0. ' Every one
wanted to win it for coach."
Fred Spicgelberg, Medford,
was head coach for state.
"Spiegelberg's pep talks won
the game for us," Glines also
commented.
The ex - Comet described
morale as "real great." saying
that "everybody liked every
body." Glines saw defensive duty
in the third and fourth quar
ters and played on (Dan)
"Miles' Marauders" offensive
unit in the fourth quarter. He
was on the kickoff team and
was ball-holder for the con
version tries of Medford's
Miles.
Glines at last report was
looking for a fruit packing
house job. He'll enter Linficld
college this fall.
BEST MORALE
Miles, a three-sport man at
Medford high prior to gradu
ation last June, also pointed
to the morale of the Slaters.
They had "the best morale of
any team I've been on," he
said. There were no cliques.
"They were really a bunch of
nice guys."
The players really liked
Spiegelberg. Miles reported.
He indicated that the self-discipline
allowed by the Med
ford mentor was a factor in
the high morale.
He mentioned that the mor
ale wasn't showing too much
outwardly when the learn
went on the field but that
"everybody knew we'd get
the job done." Quarterback
Miles kicked three extra
points for State. He was on
the punting and punt return
teams and played the last
eight minutes on offense and
defense, after a brief offensive
appearance in the first half.
"It was really a lot of fun,"
said Miles, who will enroll at
Oregon Stale university.
HARD, SHORT DRILLS
"I'm just glad we won,"
said Jack Lowery, halfback
from Medford high, "since we
(Medford) won the stale cham
pionship for him (Spicgel
berg), too."
Lowery spoke nf (he role
of practice sessions in build
ing squad morale. "Practices
were hard but short and
sweet" and were a lot of fun,
he reported. "They did not try
to work us to death." Lowery
I described the Shrine game
tirsl nail as mostly defensive
and agreed that the turning
point was Bob Officer's long
run at the end of the third
period on a lateral from Paul
Brothers.
Lowery, who like Miles is
bound for Oregon Stale,
played almost all the way on
offense and saw some de
fensive duty. He was on the
punting and kickoff teams.
TURNED OUT
PRETTY GOOD
In the modest opinion of
Gary Griffin, ace linebacker
from Medford, the Shrine
game "turned out pretty
good." The defensive star
spoke of the tussle as "just
another game" but added
quickly, "getting along with
other players was probably
the biggest thing." It was fun
to meet other good players
and try to organize a team,
said Griffin. The Medfordite
went all the way on defense.
Griffin is feeling the effects
of a knee injury. A few liga
ments were pulled and it'll
take him a week or week and
a half to recuperate. The line
backer said that the knee in
jury occurred in the first
quarter but did not tell any-body-until
halftime.
Reports from Portland said
that Griffin, as evidence of
being in the thick of play.
had the dirtiest uniform on
the field.
HAMMONS ON TRIP
End Lloyd Hammons. fourth
Medford player in the Shrine
game, was not available here
this week to give his impres
sions. He is reported on a fam
ily vacation trip.
SO YOUTHS WORTHY
"The Southern Oregon boys
really held up their end." de
clared State Shrine Head
Coach Spiegelberg. "They
were worthy of being up there
and did more than their share
in winning the ball game." In
this statement he included Bob
Shepard of Grants Pass, Ron
Hitchcock of Klamath Falls
and Paul Brothers and Doug
John of Roseburg as well as
Glines and the four Medford
players.
"Dan Miles was 75 per cent
of team morale during prac
tice. The kids just flocked to
him." the coach stated. Spie
gelberg said that morale was
a big factor with the Slate
squad. He described the play
ers as "good battlers and said
"there was not a bad apple in
the Itunch."

Discussing the alleged ille
gal defense by Metro, which
the Stat coaches protested.
Spiegelberg commented. "The
Shrine stood behind me and
made them change." He said
further, "I think w would
have beaten them anyway."
He reported that State was
finding Metro weaknesses.
Spiegelberg voiced the opinion
that State wore Metro down.
Metro deviation in the pre
scribed 6-2-2-1 defense played
havoc with State blocking as
signments. There was effort
on the sidelines to adjust and
the other State coaches Spike
Hillstrom and Roy Thompson
were giving blocking instruc
tion in the dressing room at
halftime before Spiegelberg
returned from a conference
with officials and announced
that State had won its point.
Chris Brewer, lineman of
last season's Medford state ti
tle team, was State manager.
PLAYER FROM ROSEBURG
Attention now focuses on
the 1963 grid season. Spiegel
berg reported that 111 youths
took physical exams on Tues
day. He figures thai a total of
125 will have had physicals
when practices get under
way.
A back from Roseburg,
Lance Casebier, is slated lo
join the Black Tornado this
fall. Right now he is with the
Roseburg American Legion
junior baseball nine which en
ters the national tourney Sun

Entered in
SO Tourney
Ralph Swan, Royal Oaks,
Vancouver, Wash., state sen
ior champion, has joined the
field for the 35th annual
Southern Oregon Golf cham
pionships at Rogue Valley
Country club here.
Swan's name was on a
standby list and he was add
ed to the senior division when
another player withdrew. He
has been a contender in past
Southern Oregons.
The tourney is officially
Aug. 28 through Sept. 2 but
with some prequalifying play.
A first time entry this year
will be the son of a former
champion. He is David Crea
son, Harrisburg, Pa. His fa
ther, Lynn Creason, won the
regular men's division mantle
in 1958 after twice being run
nerup. Tourney participants this
year will have more than 500
new trees with which to con
lend. They were added to the
new nine hole layout last
spring.
Crews have been hard at
work under direction of Red
Maulding, greens superin
tendent, to have the course in
top shape for the tournament.
The greens were seriated, top
dressed and fertilized several
weeks ago to have them in
peak condition for Southern
Oregon play.
New sand has been added
to the traps to make the same
consistency and eliminate
guesswork on the part of the
players. New out-of-bounds
stakes have been put in.
Will Play Longer
The course will "play long
er" because of the fine devel
opment of fairway turf dur
ing an extra good growing
season. In golf terminology
this means that,- because of
the soft condition of the turf,
balls will not have so much
roll.
The main parking lot and
the one at the pro shop have
been paved with asphalt.

LA Rams Borrow
From NY's Giants
(Editor's Note: This is
another in a series of dis
patches sizing up the pros
pects of professional foot
ball teams for the 1963
season.)
By JoFYrTMANT
Los Angeles (UPlt The Los
Angeles Rams have borrowed
a few items from the success
ful New York Giants in the
hopes of turning out a winning
National Football league team.
The Rams' head coach is
Harland Svare. who began his
pro career in Los Angeles in
1953 before being traded to
the Giants. Svare was a star
linebacker for seven years
with the Giants and served as
their defensive coach in I960
and 1961.
Svare, at 32 the youngest
coach in the NFL, has four of
his former New York team
mates as assistants. And he
hopes to follow in the pattern
of three other members of
the Giants' assistant - coach
alumni - Vince Lombardi,
Tom Landry and Al Sherman.
Svare took over the Rams
last season when Bob Water
field quit with six games left
to play. Under Svare the Rams
tied one game and lost five
to finish in the cellar of the
Western division race with a
1-12-1 record.
This season Svare gets a
chance to install his own sys
tem right from the start, and
there are many who feel the
Rams could be the most im
proved team in the Western
Division.
Chief Problem
Quarterback is the critical
position. Experienced Zekc
Bratkowski has been found
wanting. Svare gave 6-foot-4,
225-pound Roman Gabriel a
shot at the job late during the
1962 season and it looks like
he'll be the starter this year.
Gabriel, now in his second
pro campaign, is big, is re
garded as a "scrambler," and
can throw a pass off-balance.
He's a fair runner, too. His
biggest drawback, obviously,
is lack of experience.
Terry Baker, the Heisman
Trophy winner from Oregon
State also is a candidate. Lack
of experience is an even
greater drawback for Baker,
although if he should make it
he would become the NFL's
first left-handed quarterback
since Frankie Albert of San
Francisco.
The Rams have enough
running backs so that they
could afford to trade the vet
eran Ollie Malson lo Detroit
this week for guard Harley
Sewell. Their ball-toters in
clude Jon Arnetl, Dick

Art Perkins. Glenn Shaw and
rookie Ben Wilson.
The pass-catching corps also
is solid with Jim Phillips,
Carroll Dale and Pervis At
kins, as well as Bass.
Strong On Defense
While the Rams appear to
have a few shortcomings on
offense, there is little fault to
be found with the defensive
unit.
The newest stalwart here
is another former Giant -Roosevelt
Gricr. t h e 3011
pound - plus tackle acquired
for a future draft choice.
Grier will fit Into a front
line that includes such strong
men as Lamar Lundy, Dave
Jones, Merlin Olsen and Lar
ry Stephens.
The linebacking will be
handled by Marlin McKeever,
Bill Jobko and Mike Henry.
And the defensive back field
of Ed Meador, Charley Brill,
All Hall and Lindy Crow,
another former Giant who
doubles as player and cnach,
is rated good.
