It'll be Gary Peters by accla
mation when it's time to pick
the 1963 rookie of the year in
the American league.
A 6-foot, 2-inch, 2uu-pound left
hander who failed in three pre
vious brief major league trials,
the Chicago White Sox ace
seems likely to accomplish two
feats that haven't been achiev

MEMORY PLAYS TRICKS
Monday's gallery for the
Southern Oregon golf finals was
huge. It was one of the largest
in tourney history. Whether it
actually was the largest is hard
to judge. There have been huge
crowds on the links in past years
And memory does play strange
tricks.
VIEWPOINTS TAKEN
One thing that rankles a gal
Icrvite who hoofs it all the way
around the course is to come up
to No. 9 and 18 holes and find
the crowd from the clubhouse
area has gathered round and
taken all the choice viewpoints
of the green. The guy who's
made the long walks sort of
feels he should have some privi
leges. BATTERED PROS
It was a battered gang al the
pro shop for this tourney, head
pro Ron Caperna skinned up
from a spill from a golf cart,
assistant pro Gary Parker hurt
in an auto accident and assist
ant Marion Helton hit In the
back hy a ball. As John Hilsen
teger of the Oregonian remark
ed, RVCC almost did not have
a pro for tourney time.
CONGRATULATIONS
The qualifying play and early
match rounds had their traffic
problems, but Rogue Valley
came up with another of the
well-run tourneys for which it
is famous and the committees
headed by Chairman Bud Mit
chell ' and co-chairman Billy
Blackstone. deserve well-earned
congratulations.
The Southern Oregon is equiv
alent to a convention economi
cally lo the community. It also
has been compared lo a small
business in its benefits to the
valley.
The fact that the Southern
Oregon was being conducted in
Medford contributed also lo the
heaviest week end of play of
the vear at Oak Knoll Golf club
at Ashland. Heaviest traffic of
the vear was noted on Saturday
and Sunday and there was much
piny on Monday too. People un
able to play on the Medford
links because of the tournament
went to Ashland.
A boost in traffic was notic-
able also at Medford's Cherry
j Lane Park course, particularly
i over the week end.

CRYING TOWELS
Is this a pessimistic outlook
toward the Medford high school
football season:
Laundryman Al Dumas has
printed up a batch of schedules
each with a small crying towel 1
attached. Al may tell you that
they are pocket handkerchiefs
to be worn in the breast pocket !
of your business suit. And, they
do look a bit like that.
Perhaps, the laundryman is a I
bit of an optimist. The towels I
cr, handkerchiefs, are small.
They won't hold many tears.
BAND DIRECTOR MOANS
Well, anyway we haven't
heard Medford Coach Fred Spic-
gclberg moaning the moans
which supposedly are. tradition-'
al with a coach. He sounded
quite optimistic in a talk be
lore Medford Kiwanis club this I
week. " I
The only "moan," in fact, 1
came from Irv Mirlck, who di
rects the high school band.
Getting in his two-bits worth,
the cx-Kiwanis club president
wailed to fellow members that
his band will be "a little short
on clarinets this year." But,
even he did not apply one of the
Dumas specials to his eyes.

Comets Bill
Squad Tilt
Saturday
Crater High's Comets will hold
an intrasquad scrimmage on
Saturday at 8 p.m.
No squad game is planned this
Saturday by the Medford High
footballers. Coach Fred Spiegel
berg said that a regular prac
tice, however, will be conduct
ed around 9 a.m. The Black
Tornado had a squad game last
week end.
The Medford crew had a full
scrimmage of 20 minutes length
yesterday afternoon and a pass
scrimmage of the same dura
tion. Offensive drills and team
defense work against the antici
pated Corvallis attack were also
conducted.
Spiegelberg indicated that this
afternoon's drill and Saturday
morning's would be similar. A
picture-taking session was on j
the Tornado agenda this afternoon.
STILL LOOKING
Seattle (UPI) Coach Jim
Owens of Washington still is
looking for a fullback. With
regular fullback Junior Coffey
on the sidelines with injuries,
the battle continues for a re
placement. Glenn Reece, senior
non-letter returnee from Los
Angeles, continues to show im
provement and, as a result, has
been moved up to the No. 2
spot behind Charlie Browning.
Too Early
To Gloat,
Says Alston
By JOHN DART
Los Angeles-(UPI)-It's too
early to do any gloating," ac
cording to Walter (Smokey) Al
ston.
But the Dodger manager takes
his league leaders into the Bay
City today with a five-game
lead and a "magic number" of
19 after a 4-0 win Thursday
night over the Chicago Cubs.
The second-place St. Louis
Cardinals haven't contributed to
a lowering of the Dodger magic
number in their last eight
games, having won them all.
However, the fabulous Los An
geles pitching staff aided by
some timely hitting has carried
the Dodgers to six victories in
that same eight game span. Any
combination of Dodger wins and
Card defeats totaling 19 will
bring the pennant to Los An
geles. Open Road Trip
The Dodgers start a vital 13
game road trip tonight.
A crowd of 35,256 saw the
Dodgers win their 11th game of
the 18-game home stand Thurs
day night. Hard-throwing Pete
Richert tired and needed help
from reliever Larry Sherry in
the eighth inning to complete
the shutout.
Bill (Moose) Skowron. who
had pinch singles in the two
previous games, and doubled
home the second Dodger run in
the third inning his fourth
consecutive hit.
"It's about time," said Skow
ron, the ex-Yankee who bore
a .219 batting average going
into the game. The first base
man got on base all four times
at bat. He singled to center,
bounced a ground rule double
into the left field stands, was
aboard on an error by Andre
Rodgers, and struck out on a
wild pitch by Cub reliever Paul
Toth but made it to first.
Softball Loop
Meets Monday
Managers and sponsors of
teams in the recently completed
Jackson County Softball associa
tion season will meet Monday at
8 p.m. at the Medford hotel.
The past season will be dis
cussed and plans for 1964 play
will be drafted. Those planning
to have teams in the league next
year, but who were not sponsors
this season, also are invited to
the meeting.
Spokane Fans
Pull for Peggy
Spokane, Wash.-(UPI)-Mickey
Wright, leading money
winner among the lady profes
sionals, will be odds-on favorite
to grab a third straight win in
the fourth Spokane Women's
Open golf tournament, but local
fans are pulling for a chunky
16-year-old dubbed "Teddy
Bear" to walk away with all
the marbles.
The youngster is Peggy Con-
ley, who is fresh from runner-
up finishes in the National Jun
ior and National Women s Ama
teur golf tournaments.
Both golfers were among
those who teed off today as the
first round of the $10,000 Spo
kane Open got under way.
Bruce Williams
Captain at OSU
Corvallis, Ore. (UPI) Full
back Bruce Wililams of Auburn,
Calif., who has the distinction
of having lost only one yard in
two years of varsity play, was
rewarded by his teammates
Thursday when they named him
captain of the Oregon State
squad.
Williams has carried the ball
146 times during the past two
seasons and gained 533 yards.
Senior guard Joe Bonilla of
Selma, Calif., was named alter- i
nate captain.
Ralston Worried
About Backs Feet.
Stanford, Calif. (UPI) Coach
John Ralston of Stanford is wor
ried about the feet of his No. 1
fullback.
Ken Babajian, who has had
foot trouble before, is on the
sidelines once again. Because of
some unusual bone structure,
football shoes hurt Ken's feet.
They have flared up again,
causing Ralston to look else
where for a possible substitute.
Behind Babajian he has the
veteran Tony DeLellis; two non
lettermen, Frank Bunch and
Dan Conaway, and soph Glenn
Myers. At the moment, Bunch
and Myers look like possible replacements.
