Newspaper Page Text10 A WEDNESDAY, Hurlers Keep Sox Ahead in AL Race For Second Place By Fred down UPI Sports Writer It takes only a quick look at the American league standings to see that Chicago pitchers are still ahead of Minnesota hitters. And Minnesota Twin muscle men go on hitting homers at a pace that may make them the second greatest homer - hitting team in major league history. But the White Sox go on winning on their blend of short hits and sturdy pitching to hold a one game margin over the Twins. The White Sox retained their margin with a 2-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox Tuesday night while the Twins raised their season homer total to 210 when they hit two in a 3-1 tri umph over the Detroit Tigers. The 1961 New York Yankees spt the maior league mark of 240 but the Twins need only 12 more to become the second best team of window - breakers in baseball history. The Cleveland Indians defeat ed the Yankees, 3-2 in 10 innings and the Kansas City Athletics scored a 4-3, 10-inning victory over the Washington Senators in othe AL, action. Nine of 10 Fanned Hoyt Wilhelm retired nine of 10 batters in the last three in nings, striking out five, to pre serve Jo Horlen's ninth win for the White Sox. A walk to Horlen and doubles by Mike Hershberger and Joe Cunning ham produced the White Sox' runs wnue cauie me&suuu m gled home Boston's tally. Harmon Killebrcw hit his 39th homer, moving him to within one of league leader Dick Stu art, and Earl Battey hit a two run homer in the eighth for the Twins. Rookie Dwight Siebler struck out seven and pitched a four hitter to win his second game. Max Alvis led off the 10th in ning with a single and eventual ly scored the winning run for the Indians when pitcher Stan Williams threw wildly to first base after fielding a bounder to the mound. Tenth - inning singles by Jerry Lumpe and Norm Siebern the third hit of the game for each set up the winning run for the Athletics with Lumpe scoring on Manny Jiminoz' sacrifice fly.

IIINTZ United Press International MILWAUKEE (UPI) It was the past, present and future all rolled up in one. It mattered little to 33,676 baseball fans that their man of the evening Warren Spahn got shelled from the mound in the third inning and lost his seventh game of the season. Strengthening rumors that the Braves were headed lor Atlanta Ga., also were forgotten by the largest baseball crowd in Coun ty Stadium in two years. They shrugged them off and cheered when told their actions signified "a rebirth of Braves spirit" that made Milwaukee a miracle town in the 1950s. It was Spahn's night a night he won't soon forget. Escorted to the dimly lighted field in a shower of fireworks, the 42-year-old Spahn, who more than any other person signified the saga of the .Milwaukee Braves, continually dabbed at his watering eyes. Luckiest Guy "I'm the luckiest guy in base ball. God bless you and thank you from the bottom of my heart," he said. That was all. No prolonged speeches. No presentations out side of token gifts to Spahn, his wue, LoKene, and their son, Greg, U. LoKene received a silver jewel case. Greg a ndmg saddle. Spahn got a woodworking ma chine from his teammates and a St.lou check from, the Braves or ganization. The check was given to the Warren Spahn Scholarship foun dation along with a donation from Spahn himself, some from other individuals in the com-1 munity and from the proceeds of the sale of special "Spahnie But tons." The foundation, which now has approximately $30,000, will send at least two Wisconsin stu dents to the college of their choice next fall. INDIANS HIRE ROSEN CLEVELAND, Ohio (UPI)-Al Rosen, who starred on Cleve land's 1954 pennant winning team, will serve as coach for the Indians during spring train ing in lucson, Ariz., next year. Rosen will work with the young players, concentrating on their batting problems, club president Gabe Paul said. DUCKS KLECT EUGENE, Ore.

By WILLIAM COOK KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI) Remember when the Oklahoma Sooners won 47 consecut i v e games 'and 12 straight confer ence championships? Well, there's talk of a return to that kind of juggernaut in Ok lahoma. About the only folks in the Big Eight conference who don't go along with this forecast of Sooner invincibility are the Nebraska Cornhuskers. That pretty much tells the Big Eight story for 1963. Oklahoma is the choice to win the title and Nabraska is supposed to be the runnerup. After that, Kansas and Mis souri should fight it out for third place, and Oklahoma State and Iowa State figure to battle for the top of the second division. Then comes Colorado and peren nial doormat Kansas State. Oklahoma triumphed in 47 consecutive games during 1953 57 and held the conference crown a dozen straight years during 1947-59. Coach Bud Wil kinson, of course, isn't predict ing repeats of such records. However, he admits the 1963 club may be the "best - bal- anced" in several years. Wilkinson has 28 talented let-, termen returned from the 1962 j Orange Bowl team which went i unbeaten in league play. Ihe returnees include mighty full back Erank Grisham and, Joe Don Looney, a speedy, power ful halfback. The tough Sooner line, which shut out four of its seven Big Eight opponents in 1962, is an chored by tackle Ralph Neely, 246. Quarterback is the question mark at Oklahoma. The best Football Review Given lor Rotary Club by Coaches "We've lost some experienced men but we still have the mi cleus of a fine club," Coach Bill McKibbin of the St. Mary's Cru saders said in a brief address before the Medford Rotary club here Tuesday. "Just how fast it comes along is a question right now," he added. Phoenix will be the team to beat, McKibbin predicted. He spoke at a luncheon meeting at the Rogue Valley Country club in a gridiron preview presented by the Crusader coach: Al Aliins, coach of the Southern Oregon College Red Raiders; and Coach Fred Spicgelberg of Medford's Black Tornado. Akins, whose eight years of coaching at SOC was preceded by varsity play at Washington Slate college and experience in professional football, told Ro tarians that luck has much to do with coaching. Notes Injuries This season there has been a fantastic number of injuries in practice and, strangely enough, other coast colleges and univer sities have had Ihe same pre- ! season injury toll. The game with Weber at Ogdcn, Utah, next Saturday night should be a tough game as the Utah club j is playing in big company, Akins j predicted. "Don't keep your hopes too high for a championship team this year at Medford High school," Conch Spiegel berg warned members of the Med ford Rotary club. "We have a long way io go, hut the Black Tornado shows real promise." Discusses Weight Discussing the weight of the Medford squad, Spicgelberg said that during Ihe second quarters of the Corvaliis game he hegan to wonder if his team was not too big. Medford is handicapped by lack of games because of loca tion. Only two districts in Ore gon have less than 10 games, he pointed out. The Willamette Val ley district has six teams and southern Oregon district only five. Spicgelberg expressed t h e hope that realignment and re districting could be effected to correct this serious problem facing southern Oregon teams. Quarterbacks Sharp at UO ElXiF.NE (UPI) -Ore Ron opens its season against Penn State at Portland, Ore., Satur day night in an intersectional battl between two of Ihe na tion's best. In workouts Tuesday juniors Bob Berry and Doug Post both losktl sharp as they alternated rt Mattorback. Italtback II V"rty stood out on fenso. MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKD, bet is a talented but untried sophomore, Mike Ringer. Must Be Shown Noises coming from Nebraska indicate that the Cornhuskers must be shown that the Sooners are best. The optimism at Ne braska is based largely on quar terback Dennis Claridge, the league's 1962 player of the year. Cornhusker coach Bob De vaney, 1962 coach of the year in the Big Eight, has perhaps the beefiest line in the confer ence, headed by Bob Brown, 259-pound senior guard. Devaney is more realistic than the alumni. He points out that he has a good No. 1 unit but lacks depth. The Kansas Jayhawkers may not field the best team, but half back Gale Sayers will make it one of the most exciting. Sayers scampered for 1,125 yards in 1962, much of it on breath-taking end runs. Kansas coach Jack Mitchell has a single, seasoned quarter back. Sophomore Steve Renko, i 205, appears to have the post sewed up. Missouri picked to win the crown in 1962, has been beset by injuries, plus disciplinary ac tion which cost the Tigers half back Johnny Roland, the Big Eight's leading scorer last year. Tiger coach Dan Devine also has quarterback woes. The im portant job apparently will go to an inexperienced sophomore, Garry Lane. ' Corvaliis Writer Says Football Presented Here In Big League (The folluwind Is reprinted from the ''Off the Beat" col umn of last Saturday's Cor valiis Gazette-Times. It was written by Jack Kickard, sports editor of the Corvaliis newspaper.) The band of Corvaliis high rooters who trekked to Medford last night to follow the Spartan team saw high school football in a big league way. We've gone to several college games in which the facilities, color, etc. couldn't match Med ford. It s a big night in the com munity when the Black Tor nado is playing at home, and the 7,300-seat stadium is always filled to capacity For instance, Medford has a press box that runs from onej end of the grandstand to the oth er. There is more than adequate seating for writers, statisticians, etc., but the rest of the facility is occupied with special ticket holders. When the new stadium was built a couple of yaars ago, five - year season tickets were sold for $100 apiece ($50 would be the normal price for five years). They has no trouble selling out tne pressbox seats the best seats in the house as far as we're concerned. All told. there must be several hundred fans sitting up there. And in college style, the press box serves tree coffee and doughnuts to the workers. Football starts in the fourth grade for a Medford school boy. At that time he starts learning the Medford system, which un der coach Fred Spicgelberg is the unbalanced line wing-T. By the time he reaches high school, a boy has already had four or five years experience in tackle football with experienced coach ing. And it doesn't end there. Medford listed a roster of 113 youngsters in last night's pro gram a printed one donated by Coca-Cola and a local mark et. Of course all weren't in uni form, but that's the number that are out for the sport. Spicgelberg did suit up 65 the number of new uniforms he had. The band was just as big, a 110-piece group with nine major- Pairings Made For Roses Bowl PORTLAND (UPI) Pair ings for the Thursday pro-am kickotf to the City of Roses bowling tournament were com pleted Tuesday night.

The high amiiteiir will re - aa f ton OREGON UCLA Bruins Will Keep T This is another in a series of dispatches dealing with the 1963 prospects of major West Coast college football teams. By SCOTT BAILLIE LOS ANGELES (UPI) -UCLA, which lost six out of 10 games last year after junking the single wing in favor of the T formation, will stay with the more popular attack and coach Bill Barnes looks for a better season. Even with Kermit Alexander, his great halfback, long gone to tne pros. "We've made a great deal of progress with the T since fall practice started," Barnes told a recent session of the Big Six Skywriters. "We'll be vastly im proved. And our quarterbacking, led by Carl Jones, could make us a winner." Jones, one of 24 returning let termen, skipped spring practice because of a lung infection but has impressed Barnes this fall with his ability to run and pass. He gets the call over Larry Zeno, last year's starter who had interception problems, and thread - needle passer Steve Sindell. The latter is a junior college transfer who topped nu merous aerial records in those ranks. Haffner Doubtful A big question mark is Mike Haffner. As a sophomore tail back in 1961, Haffner led the Big Six rushers with a 6.5 aver age. Mike was sidelined last year with a knee injury and has had trouble breaking into the T as Alexander's replacement. "So left half is our weakest point," Barnes said. "Mike has n't turned loose yet and lived up to his capabilities." He is being pressed for the Manner ettes in flashing black and silver uniforms and some routines that would do a college group proud. They were cavorting on a new stadium turf that was installed this summer, complete with an underground sprinkling system. Seems that a fungus growth de veloped last year, so they killed the entire turf and planted a new one. Medford's band had one ad vantage in their halftime stunt. They spelled out the name of the town's sister city, Alba, Italy, in respect to an official visitor who was visiting in Med ford. Even with 110 members, can you imagine them spelling 1 out Antofaggasta. Corvaliis high did have the honor of playing before the largest football crowd in the school's history last night. No official atten dance was an nounced, but it was around 7,000, give or take a hundred. That's almost as many as Oregon State played to in 19G0 when they visited the 90,000 Stanford University stad i u m, and is close to the turnouts that are standard at the University of Idaho. Sfttitt Special: SANDY KOUFAX BASEBALL'S COMEBPCK OF THE YEA" by JOHN KENT tost year doctors consid ered amputating his pitch ing finger; this year he's using il lo break pitching records. John Kent writes of Ihe Dodgers' star Hurler's rise, near fall and return to greatness in the SEPTEMBER 22ND Feature-Packed Issue of Family Weekly with your copy of the MAIL TRIBUNE MEDFORD M8 j , - 3 Attack job by Bill Hauck, a transplant ed end. Barnes leans to Al Geverink at right halfback (flanker). He is a good pass receiver and Barnes expects his team to do more throwing than last year. Profit is King In order to get more air pow er, he has his men running from a wider formation. The king of their receivers is six foot, four inch Mel Profit, at right end. "I'll take Profit over Hal Bed sole of Southern California," as sistant coach Sam Boghosian said when asked to contrast Mel with the better-known Trojan. "Profit is a better receiver and blocker although Bedsole does better once he has the ball and is running." There also is strength at full back with Warren Jackson and Jim Colletto battling for the first string. The nod here is to Jack son whom Barnes calls, "a big, fast kid. I look for a good year from him, too." A Question Mark How about the interior line? "It's a question mark," Barnes said. "We really won't know about it until the first game against Pitt, and then Syracuse later in the season. They have fullbacks like Rick Leeson and Jim Nance who can wreck you up the middle." Among the promising s o p h omores are Russ Banducci, son of the former Dan Francisco Forty Niner. He is a guard and currently on the third string. Other good sophs are flapker Kurt Altenberg and fullback Paul Horgan. "This is the most enthusiastic team since 1959," Barnes said. Our schedule is as tough as any in the country but I'm en couraged."
