Unruh (D Inglewood) said that the Assem bly rules committee had adopt ed the congratulatory resolu tion last Friday. "The legislators were abso lutely confident that the Dod gers would be victorious," Un ruh said Wednesday, "therefore we had no hesitation in approv ing this resolution." The resolution went into ef fect Sundav. the day the Dod gers took, their fourth straight game and won the series. British Ryder Might Be Overtraining By DAVID M. Mrm ATLANTA (UPI) - U. S. Cap tain Arnold Palmer thinks the British may be over-training for the Ryder Cup matches and that unless they slacken off his team "may have an easy time." Palmer emphasized that if the British rest today they could be a tough opponent when the matches get underway on Fri day. But he noted they have been playing up to 27 holes dally since Sunday and could be stale when it counts. "I'm leaving it up to our play; ers to set their own pace today," Palmer said. He said if some f1 a nine-hole tuneup IS all they need fine by him. But he added he'll probably get in holes today himself. "You can't keep going cay an- er day with no break without feeling it," Palmer said. "It's better to pace yourself. I know what our people can do now and thou innui what thev need Both Palmer and John Fal lon, the non-playing British cap tain, planned to make public to- top preliminary match. The middle scrap will see Nick Bockwinkle of Minneapolis, who is fast developing into a favorite among northwest fans, against mean - tempered Don Duffy of San Diego. The opener sends Art (Boom Boom) Mahalik, former tackle with the San Francisco Forty Niners, against Gil Ane, huge Hawaiian. Following the Borne - Dunn fracas, all six men will climb into the ring for the free-for-all, to last until only one man re mains. He will collect a side purse of $200, in addition to his regular evening's paycheck. By JACK CUDDY United Preii International lege football needs something.

(UPI) Coach Jack Christian sen was not impressed by the San Francisco Forty Niners' of fense after looking both at their practice session and latest Na tinnal Football league statistics, Latest NFL figures show that the Forty Niners have moved the ball for fewer yards than any team in the league only 738 in four contests. Quarterbacks Bob Waters and Lamar McHan, both vying for the starting job, did plenty of passing in Wednesday's offen sive workout. The coach said "they didn't look good, and they didn't look bad they just looked fair." Considering the fact that both looked bad last Sunday at De troit, this signified some im provement. Cuppers day their respective two-somes for Friday s matches. There are eight scotch four somes lined up for Firday. In each, two-man U.S. teams take on two-man British teams with each team using only one ball Saturday, there will be eight four-ball matches with low man winning each respective hole and Sunday there will be 16 singles matches. This means a total of 32 matches during the three - day affair with a point given for each match won and a half point (or each tie with 16V4 points needed to win the solid gold cup. The United States leads 11-3 going into the 15th biennial matches and is an odds-on fav orite to repeat this year with the likes of Palmer, U.S. Open Champion Julius Boros, Gene Littler, Billy Casper and Dow I Finsterwald in its lineup. Other members of the U.S. team are Dave Ragan, Billy Maxwell. Johnny Pott, Tony Lema and Bob Goalby. MEDFORD i SPORTS h. ... , r j J" v-w t V - - t , . t i '.'- - j j'tjF.' - (A. " ' I ARMLESS FOOTBALLER Walter (Chris) Schumann, 15, arm less since birth, is the place-kicker for the Classical High school football team at Providence, R.I. His teammate, Dick Blackman (1), holds the ball as Chris practices. Armless Footballer Star Place-Kicker By ROBERT FEINBERG PROVIDENCE, R.I. (UPI) -The star place-kicker on the Classical High school football team has never made a tackle in his life. Walter Christian Schumann, a junior, was born 15 years ago without arms. Chris spent eight years in Illi nois and did odd chores for the football team at the University of Illinois where his father was a professor. The Schumanns moved to Swarthmore, Pa., when Chris was 10, but he became home sick for Illinois. "I thought of a plan that would take me back," Chris said. "I intended to learn how to kick a football and return to play for the University of Illinois team." Practiced Kicking He practiced kicking a minia ture football over a steel bar and three years later found him self a member of the Swarth more High School football team. During his first season, Chris Mets, Colts Take Picks In Draft CINCINNATI, Ohio (UPI) -The New York Mets and Hous ton Colts, firmly settled at the bottom of the National league after two years, had an oppor tunity to improve themselves to day in a special draft of person nel from the eight other teams. Four players from each team will be eligible for the draft but under the special rules the Mets and Colts may choose only one of the four unless the other clubs agree. The price on each player is $30,000. The special draft was agreed upon during the World Series for the sole purpose of strengthen ing the two expansion teams. New York, which has finished 10th both years, was to choose first, a right it won by a coin toss last Friday. Neither team is bound to pick a full allotment of players. For example, the Colts could pick one and the Mets seven if they so choose. Under the rules, the players up for draft must have been on National league rosters prior to Aug. 31. The Mets and Colts received the official lists from the Na tional league office Tuesday. The lists have not been made public. V KOl'K-POINT DOE Gary Poole. 2625 Connell ave., shown holding the head of the animal, made an unusual kill last Saturday. The antlered deer he brought down was a doe. Poole reported that the four-point deer was shot in the Walker Run vicinity northeast of Chemult. The animal dressed out at 151 pounds MEDFORD - VTMBUNE IS aU. recalled, he was successful on seven kicks, had two blocked and missed on six others. His reason for playing foot ball is simple. "I want to be like others," he said, "not in appearance, but in the sense of participating with them." He said he could have worn artificial limbs, but they were uncomfortable so he had to learn to play without them. Coach Al Morro, who captain ed the Boston college football squad in 1942 when it went to the Sugar Bowl, said place-kicking is a rarity in high school foot ball. "You need not only a strong kicker," he said, "but someone with a good pair of hands who can catch the ball and place it to be kicked and a center who can pitch the ball back with ac curacy, and whose got the time to train all these people?" But, time was made and a system was worked out. The team manager, a 15 year old junior named Richard Blackman, holds the ball and Schumann kicks. Neither boy wears a practice uniform except for football shoes. The team s center, Anthony Pizzutti, takes a half hour off from practice, to pitch the ball to them. At home Chris has some heavy books from his father's shelf and tied to his right leg while he sits in a chair. He moves his leg up and down to strengthen the muscles that will make his kicking more accur ate. The youngster does not like publicity nor does he want to be held up as an example. "I, don't do everything I'm supposed to do," he said. Linfield Rated 8th KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI) -Linfield was ranked eighth in the nation in the weekly football poll announced by the National Association of Intercollegi a t e Athletics today.

State, College of Emporia, Kear ney State, Linfield, St. Norbert and Prairie View. The only other Western team in the top 20 was California Western, ranked 19th. Z3 J MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. Rogue River SaSnion Remindful PORTLAND Oregon anglers on the Rogue river found a sal mon bonanza this year reminis cent of the good old days. This year the mouth of the Rogue and adjacent offshore waters may well see the highest catch by sportsmen in the 14 years of evaluation. Umpqua river anglers also found salmon angling at its best. During the period of August 15 through September 15 at Win chester bay just over 6,400 anglers reported taking almost 5,800 salmon for one of the best months of the season. According to creel checks on the lower Rogue more than 7,400 angler trips were recorded with a reported take by anglers of almost 4,200 salmon by Sept. 15, with another month or two of the salmon season still to go. Only the completed seasons of 1952 and 1953 exceed the total catch so far recorded in this area. The big news on the Rogue was the tremendous run of spring chinook heading up stream to the spawning beds.
