If that's so, the Ashlanders will be out to take advantage. Coach Gray, who'll be sending his varsity against his high school alma mater, said that the Grizzlies are having tough time getting players back in shape. He reported that full back Don Scholer likely will miss the action because of his ankle injury and that there is a question about linebacker Bud dy Gail and tackle Joe Raynes seeing service. Gail has a jammed thumb and Raynes a boil on his arm. Tack le Jack Gruber may see duty although he has a bruised hand. Gray mentioned that his back field is versatile and that Roger Athcrton and Mike Torresan could see service at fullback. Charles Kane could go in Rayne's spot and Donn Mann In Gall s spot. The Grizzlies are "trying to keep It rather light" In practices this week but had their weekly scrimmage yesterday.

Morabito said "Jack was giv en no such assurances. Howev er, we sincerely hope things do work out and that possibly he can be with us next year." By El. DON BARRETT United Press International SEATTLE (UPD-Three and a half months ago Brian Stern berg was literally on top of the world. He held the pole vault I ing record of 16 feet, 8 inches ! and his future looked bright. j The sky was his limit. Today, the accomplishment of which he is most proud, is that he can sit up, although only for t I short periods and in a wheel ; chair. In many ways, that is more of an achievement than his setting a world vaulting ; mark. This brave new world o f I Brian Sternberg began on the nigni oi juiy i wnen ne tame down on his neck while doing acrobatic tricks on a trampo line, a device on which he was most proficient. Spinal Injury The accident caused a spinal injury that left him paralyzed from the neck down. He was taken to the University Hospital here and there he has been since. From the beginning, doctors have told the 20-year-old Uni versity of Washington student the exact truth of his situation. Spinal cord damage is not eas ily repaired. Chances are he is grounded for life. 1 But Sternberg refuses to re-, sign. He started self-therapy by trying to move a finger. His persistence paid off. What would be considered minimal achievements to the average person become feats of strength to Brian. He not only can move his fingers now, but his arms as well. His next goal is to turn the pages of a book, and soon, perhaps, with the help of a spe cial mechanical device he may be able to feed himself. His doctors refused to predict how far Brian will progress but they agree that so far his prog ress has been satisfactory with-1 in the limits of his nervous i system. Brian, himself, is looking for ward with faith to the day he can crawl out of his hospital bed and walk out the door for good. And in preparation for that time he now spends his days fully dressed, just tike the stu dents on the campus.

PORTLAND (UPI)-A slumh ling block has appeared in Port land's plans to host the Profes sional Bowlers Association Tour nament of Champions during the Hose Festival next June. Local sponsors said the hitch had developed in obtaining bowl ing equipment at a "reasonable price." The city's original bid was predicated on holding the tournament at the Pacific- In ternational Livestock arena, which seats 5,000 but has no regular equipment. RESPONSE Newspaper Advertising Brings Reader Response.. . through Buying Action! More buying; action results from newspaper advertising because of the atmos phere of bclievability. You've heard people say, "I know it's true, it's in the papers." The printed word has always been accepted as more honest and binding;. Newspapers report facts; other media offer entertainment. Your adver tising in an atmosphere of believability is bound to induce more "want-to-buy" action than that framed in fiction or entertainment. Newspapers offer another vital elemcnt-an atmosphere of timeliness and urgency. This sense of immediacy fosters "here-and-now" sales action that no other print medium can match.
