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.

Spahn Night
Event at
Milwaukee
By GENE W. 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.

Oklahoma Sooners
Favored in Big 8
(The following is the sixth
of eight dispatches sizing up
college football prospects in
various sections of the coun
try.) 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.

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-

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.

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." AFTERNOON
