CRUSADER TO VIE-Jim Cal
houn, above, Oregon Catholic
high school athlete of the
year, will contend for East in
Saturday night's Shrine all
star football game at Pendle
ton. The three-year veteran
quarterback of St. Mary's
Crusaders of Medford, is to
be defensive safety and the
punter for East. He could see
plenty of service at quarterback.
PLAYS FOR EAST - Charles
Pomeroy, above, Eagle Point
high grad of last spring, will
be one of the players for the
East-West Shrine all-star foot
ball game on Saturday night
at Pendleton. Pomeroy, a
probable starter at end for
East, was the outstanding sen.
ior football player for the
Jfaglcs last fall. He is the third
Eagle Point high grad to play
in the annual game. Others
were Gary Ayers in 1961 and
Steve Geren in 1962. The East
club has been drilling at La
Grande.
East Has Favorite
Role in Shrine Grid
Fray at Pendleton
Pendleton-iUPU-Both squads
ended their heavy practice
sessions Thursday for the
East-West Shrine high school
football game here Saturday
night.
Observers predicted a wide
open offensive battle match
ing the West's wing-T offense
against the East's spread-T.
East coach Bill Hargadine
of Central found his squad
in the favorite's role, largely
because of a big weight ad
vantage and the leadership of
his own quarterback, Greg
Hartman. Hartman returned
to action after being side
lined with an infected tooth.
However, Jim Calhoun, St.
Mary's of Medford, has been
listed as starter at quarter.
West coach diet Bowser of
Seaside worked his team on
defense and held a dummy
scrimmage Thursday.

That would be flanker R. C.

the National Football league,
who checked into the Balti
more Colts training camp
Thursday after nearly losing
his life in an automobile ac
cident in July.
Owens, who stands 6-3 and
was an outstanding college
basketball player, achieved his
greatest fame and his nick
name during his days with
the San Francisco Forty Nin
ers when he and quarterback
Y. A. Tittle orginated the
"Alley-oop" pass in which
Tittle would throw the ball
high in the air and Owens
simply would outlcap the de
fenders. The only known player
ever to block a field goal as
it was clearing the crossbar,
Owens did not suit up Thurs
day but appeared fit and
ready with no trace of injur
ies.

planned to use newcomers

Akron, Ohio - IUHI - Julius
Boros, the 43-ycar-old U.S.
Open champion who usually
plays the tough courses the
best, shared the first round
lead in the $55,000 American
Golf Clasic today with two
dark horses-Johnny Pott and
Miller Barber.
They cut the long, exacting
Firestone Country club down
to size Thursday when they
shot three - under - par 67s,
which was good enough to
give them a three-shot lead
over two pre-tourney favor
ites, defending champion Ar
nold Palmer and Jack Nick
laus. Bclwcn the three leaders
and Palmer and NicKiaus
came six others-Jay lleberl,
Bruce Champion, Dave Hill,
Gay Brewer, Al Gcibcrger
and Dave Marr. They all
broke Firestone's 35-35-70
par with 69s.
At even par 70 along wun
Palmer and Nicklaus were
former U.S. Open champion
Ed Furgol, big George Bayer,
Ted Kroll and Hex Baxter.

was formed in 1060. They
were key figures in the pow
erhouses thai won the first
two AFL championships and
losl out to (he Dallas Toxans
(now Kansas City Chiefs) in
a double sudden-death over
time playoff last December.
That group includes the en
tire Oilers backlield of quar
terback George Blanda, run
ning backs Billy Cannon and
Charley Tolar, and flanker
Charlie llcnnigan.
It's no wonder, then, that
coach Pop Ivy's most serious
"problems" involve how to
break in a fine crop of rookies
and which experienced hands
will play where.
for example. Al Jamison,
an All-AFL offensive tackle,
was forced to retire al the
close of last season because
of a congenital spine ailment.
Ivy immediately found two
strongmen to battle i t o u I
for that job - 255-pound, Wal
ter Suggs, a second-year pro,
and uiiclley Meredilh, a 270-
pounder who has been one
of the big surpises of the pre
season training camp.
Meredilh was a tubby 200-
pound rookie two years ago
and was cut from Ihe squad.
ne went back to leaching and
last .spring was spotted by an
Oilers coach at a Lamar Tech
alumni game. He was invited
back, shed 20 pounds and
now looks like he'll stick.
Ivy felt he needed some
linebacking support for Ihe
regular trio of Mike Dukes,
who presently is injured,
Doug Clinc and Gene Babb.
He found it among his
rookies. Dan Brabham of
Arkansas, Ihe Oilers' No. 1
draft choice, appears to be
as good a linebacker as a
fullback and likely will play
both ways. Other promising
rookie linebackers are John
ny Baker of Mississippi State
and Jerry Hopkins of Texas
A and M.
So "loaded" are Ihe Oilers
with talent thai they could
afford lo release Ray Jacobs,
I heir No. 1 draft choice lor
1062, and Jerry Cook or
Texas, their No. 3 pick for
i this season.
Olh'er impressive rookies
in camp are Bill Tobin of
Missouri and Butch Pressley
of Texas A and 1, both run
ning backs; Tom Brown, 255
pound tackle from I'itl; Don
Donatelli, a 250-pound center
from Florida State, and Will
Brown, a defensive back from
Grumbling (La ).
Ivy says his team will be
"basically the same" as last
year. Which means it will be
tough to beat, no mailer how
you look at it.
No Entry Fee
For Bike Races
Contrary to a previous re
port there will be no entry
fee charged for the Sunday
bike races at the Jackson
County family picnic spon
sored by Jackson County
Democrats. There will be
nominal fees, however, for the
gold panning and horseshoe
pitching contests.
