Of Year in
Baseball Experts
Also Cfe Sandy
For Top Comeback
By FRED DOWN
UPI Sports Writer
NEW YORK (UPI) - Los
Angeles Dodger star Sandy
Koufax was honored by the
United Press International to
day as the No. 1 National league
pitcher of the year and for hav
ing made the major league
comeback of the year.
It was the first time in their
history that any major leaguer
ever has won hnth n. :
twin honors were determined bv I
a survey of 24 baseball expert's
representing evey city in the
majors. j
Knnfav .,. n, .
iioutax was the unanimous
choice as the National league's i
pitcher of the vear. noltinn all
24 votes cast by the experts. He j
was selected lor naving made
the comeback of the vear hv i
oi we Z4 experts with Curt Sim
mons of the St. Louis Cardinals
ranking second with four votes.
Other Votes
Other votes in the comeback
of the year balloting were cast
for Hal Woodeshick of the Hous
ton colts, Dick Ellsworth of the
Chicago Cubs, the Los Anrnlps
Dodgers as a team two votes
each and for Ron Santo of the
Chicago Cubs and the Cardinals
as a team (one each).
houfax' credentials as the Na.
tional league's pitcher of the
year are beyond dispute.
The 27-ycar-old 200 - pound
lefthander appeared in 40 games
and 311 innings. He had a 25-5
record for an .833 won-lost per
centage and the most victories
by a National league left-hander
since Carl Hubbell won 26
games in 1936.
Sets Strikeout Mark
Koufax set a new National
league strikeout record of 306 in
one season and thereby joined
Rube Waddell, Walter Johnson
and Bob Feller as the only
pitchers who have surpassed the
300-mark in strikeouts for a
season. Sandy also pitched 11
shutouts a new record for a
lefthander and his 1.88 earned
run average was remarkable
for a pitcher who worked so
many innings.
All this by a pitcher who 14
months ago was threatened with
the loss of a finger that undoubt
edly would have ended his ca
reer. Simmons, 34-year old former
Philadelphia Phillie whiz kid
lefthander, compiled a 15-9 rec
ord for the Cardinals. It mark
ed his biggest winning season
since 1956 and it played a major
role in the Cardinals' surprising
rise as a National league pen
nant contender.
MAGAC REACTIVATED
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (UPI)
Coach Jack Christiansen of
the San Francisco Forty Niners
said today that offensive guard
Mike Magac will be reactivated

WORLDS FINEST BOURBON
OREGON'
League
By DICK JEWETT
Mail Tribune Sports Editor
I is inside the Phoenix district
I boundary and at the same time
1 in the city of Medford. This en-
gagement between the two A-2s I
has been the "big little battle
in this vicinity in recent years.
There have been some terrific
games between the two. This
time, with Phoenix depth of tal
ent and St. Mary's shortage of
it, the clubs don't appear so
evenly matched as they have
been in the past couple of sea
sons. LIKE OKLAHOMA
St. Mary's Coach Rill McKib
bin, addressing the Medford
Linebackers last Friday, likened
the SM football situation to that
at University of Oklahoma. He
mentioned that Sooner Coach
Bud Wilkinson had pointed to
material and "erosion of spirit"
problems and improvement of
the conference as the reason for
sag in Oklahoma football for
tunes. McKibbin was quick to
say, however, that the spirit
point did not apply so much to
the Crusaders. But, he did bring
out how easy it Is to rest on
one's laurels "and once you re
lax you've had it."
MAYBE LUCKY
"Maybe we were lucky to hold
them down," Spiegelberg re
marked in talking to the Line
backers last week. He referred
to the Boise football team which
whipped Medford 25 to 0. Spieg
pointed to the 54 victory of Boise
over Caldwell, Idaho, the week
end of Sept. 27. The mentor said
further of the Boise fray, "It
did teach us a lesson."
He also stated that the Black
Tornado this season "is fortun
ate in having a real tough sched
ule." Spiegelberg was the recipient
of a birthday card from the
Cavemen Bench, the Grants
Pass group corresponding to the
Medford Linebackers.
FINEST HORNET GROUP
Barney Kiggs and Bob Rail
cliff, coaches, respectively, of
the Hedrick and McLoughlin
Junior High school football
teams, spoke to the Linebackers
concerning their teams and
games. Pointing particularly to
his squad grade and attitude
wise, Riggs said of the Hornets,
"Wc believe we have the finest i
group we've ever had."
GLINES SHINES 1
Mike Glines, ex-Crater high
star who enrolled at Oregon
Technical Institute after origi
nal plans to attend Linfield col
lege, appears to be doing right
well for the Owls. He stepped
right in as first string quarter
back and is playing no doubt
much more regularly than he
would be for the Northwest con
ference power. , j
Against Grays Harbor last
Saturday Glines ran for two
touchdowns. He netted 40 yards
on 10 rushing carries and com
pleted 12 of 19 passes for 184
yards.
Bob Bonner, ex-Eagle Point
high, booted four conversions in
five tries for the Owls in the j
fray.

Yanks Not
Humiliated
PORTLAND (UPI) - Pete
Ward, rookie third base sensa
tion for the Chicago White Sox
during the past American
league baseball season, said
Tuesday he didn't feel the New
York Yankees were "humili
ated" in the World Series last
week.
"No, I don't think the Yan
kees were humiliated," Ward
said in reference to New York's
four straight losses to the Na
tional League Los Angeles Dod
gers. "They played much as
they did all year long."
"But anybody in baseball can
tell you that a good pitcher will
get a good hitter out most of the
time," he added. "That's just
what happened."
Ward, a graduate of Jefferson
High school and Lewis and
Clark college here, spoke at the
weekly meeting of the Oregon
