THURSDAY,
Tornadoes Contend at Roseburg
In Class A-1 Grid Quarterfinal
"No. l rated unaeraog.
, That designation could be ap
plied to the Medford High Black
Tornado by two prognostica
tions on the Oregon prep foot
ball quarterfinal games.
Medford's gridiron Whirlwind,
top-ranked in all three state
polls, carries defense of its 1962
Class A-1 diadem, into the
round of eight this Friday night
against the team designated
No. 2 by the "experts" in the
polls. It rumbles out against the
Roseburg Indians in the Umpqua
Valley town. There's an 8 p. m.
kickoff time.
Bill Mulflur, writer for the
Portland Oregon Journal, picks
it this way in this weekend's
big school main attraction as the
titular eliminations get under
way: "Jim Beamer gives the In
dians the slightest edge, which
is necessary to win this ti
tanic." Two Can Play
Leo Davis, scribe for the
Portland Oregonian views it
thus:
"Roseburg over Medford (the
signs say otherwise): Jim Bea
mer, Smokey Burgess, Gary Fle
eter et al have engineered more
than one Indian uprising. The
Tornado has the edge in depth
and defense, but two can play
at that game. If Roseburg plugs
a leaky secondary and finds an
antidote for the bullish rushes
of Bill Enyart, one touchdown
can win it."
Yet how the teams really
match is anybody's guess since
there has been no common op
position. There's no doubt that Rose
burg has a strong air arm in
the person of Beamer, the Mid
western League's leading
thrower (who also packs the
ball. Along with its air threat
a power and breakaway running
game. There's good deception in
belly series plays.
Medford can counter with a
versatile attack which uses both
T and single wing formations
and smashing and elusive run
ners, keyed by Interworking ex
ecution. And the Tornado has a
diverse air game with the
throwing of Mike Barnes, Larry
Vowell and Jack Mullen.
Condition! Will Govern
How the rival aggregations
will deploy their attacks and
mix their means of scrimmage
travel will not be revealed until
ih tnm are on the gridiron
Friday. And, field conditions
and situations even then will
govern the plan of action.
Rain was falling hard In the
Roseburg area this morning
just like It was at Medford.
Plastic covering was put on the
Indian field last night. But, just
how effectively it stood up in
the wind had not been checked
when inquiry was made this
morning.
Against Sheldon last week,
Coach Roy Thompson's Rose
burg forces, despite their aerial
strength, stuck mainly to the
ground, hurling only four
passes. Medford, too, following
its usual pattern, relied mostly
on its rushing game against
Grants Pass with passes as spot
weapons.
No matter what, the stops will
be pulled out as the Indians of
Coach Roy Thompson and Black
Tornado of Coach Fred Spiegel
berg engage each scrapping
(or the victory which will carrj
ll into scmi-nnai comuci against
cither Grant or West Linn.
Friday's ruckus will rematch
foes of last year's quarterfinals.
The clubs met at Medford then
with the Hurricane wining 14-7.
This year's version of the Tor
nado will be out to emulate the
performance of last year's
champions. That crew, with its
bid for semifinal berth fading,
buckled down and broke a dead
lock with one of the greatest
touchdown marches ever in
Medford football history. The
1063 edition showed it, too,
could do it on its winning scor
ing drive against Grants Pass.
Challenge To Medford
When the clubs met last year,
it was the first football action
between the schools since 1950.
The game this year presents
tho Medford Hurricane a chal
lenge. In the 1962 meeting, the
Black Tornado knocked Uie de
fending champion from title
' running. This time Roseburg
has that chance with MHS as
defender. And, going by the
polls, the victor on the Indian
field will be favored to march
on to the diadem for 19G3.
Roseburg carries the banner
for District 5 A-1 and was 8-1
and co-winner with Cottage
Grove in its league. Medford
was victor with 4-0 in the South-

NEW YORK (UPD-The ef
fects of the ring death of wel
terweight champion Benny
(Kid) Paret last year still are
being felt worldwide today as
evidenced in new rules laid
down by the Swedish Boxing
Commission.
There always has been a lot
of opposition to boxing in Swe
den. Nor was this lightened
when Ineemar Johansson, after
winning the world heavyweight
title, started banning nis 1001 in
Switzerland to escape taxes at
home.
Now the Swedes have
strengthened their boxing regu
lations and the biggest step was
one which limits all bouts to
eight rounds.

States is the regulation distance
for title fights. But the Swedes
will have none of that and they
also have taken steps to protect
the esthetic feelings of the fans.
No Bloody Fights
The translation comes out on
the comic side for the rule, as
relayed, reads:
"A bloody match will be brok
en for esthetics! reasons, even
u tne injury itself does not
cause a breaking."
Meaning quite simply that if a
guy starts to shed a mess of
gore, even if he is leading on
points the bout will be stopped.
Most fight crowds I have seen
would scorn any such protection
of their personal feelings. As
long as the blood belongs to
somebody else, and particular
ly the guy against whom they
are betting, they are inclined to
cheer lustily for more blood let
ting. Yet it seems quite obvious,
with eight ring deaths already
this year, that the Swedes
should be given credit for the
stand which they have taken.
A case in point which fully
illustrates the sad state of box
ing generally, and in the U.S. in
particular, was the death last
month of Ernie Knox in Balti
more. Injury and even death
can almost be listed as occupa
tional hazards when a man sets
himself up as a punching bag
for a price.
Deaths Comparatively Low
Boxing supporters contend,
and justly, that on the average
mere are more deatiis in foot
ball and auto racing, as exam
ples, than there are in the ring.
And certainly some of the na
tion's college football factories
are guilty of contributing to pos
sible mayhem and manslaugh
ter when they book some wi'
dermanned "breather."
Yet there can be no excuse
for permitting such a bout as
the one in which Knox was
knocked out by heavyweight
wayne ueliiea and subsequently
died.
At the official weigh-in. Beth
ea scaled 205 pounds. Knox's
weight was announced as 178.
At the autopsy it was found
that Knox weighed only 153
pounds or 25 pounds less than
announced.
This is the kind of skulldug
gery wnicn nas put boxing in
jeopardy of being abolished le.
gaily. A grand jury still is at
tempting to get all the answers
and, if it does its job, some
body ought to be run right out
ot "the game.

12 Footballers
Dropped at BYU
PROVO, Utah (UPI) -Brig-
ham Young University's talent
thin football squad was bit with
another major manpower and
morale loss today when 12 play
ers, Including four regulars,
were dropped from the squad
for disciplinary reasons.
The dismissals, announced
Wednesday night by Coach Hal
Mitchell, came while the be
leaguered Brighams were pre
paring for Saturday's contest
with winless University of Pa
cific at Stockton, Calif.
the manpower loss was cer
tain to weaken the once-victori
ous BYU team which was rated
an even choice against the West
Coast club.
An announcement by the
school simply said the players
were dropped from the squad
for "training infractions and in
appropriate conduct off the
field." Mitchell and other
school officials declined to com
ment on what the infractions or
inappropriate conduct entailed.
The action was another in a
series of problems which have
seen the Cougars stumble from
a preseason favorite for the
Western Athletic Conference
crown to a club able to win
only one game in eight.
Death Calls
Muddy Ruel
PALO ALTO, Calif. (UPI) -
Hejold D. (Muddy) Ruel, 67,
one of Walter Johnson's favorite
catchers and a gentlemanly law
yer, died Wednesday night of a
apparent heart attack.
Ruel was hosDitalized earlv
last year with a severe heart at
tack, but recovered. The fatal
seizure accurred at his Palo
Alto home.
He had lived in this San Fran
cisco suburb for six years fol
lowing his retirement from a
baseball career that saw him
just as active in the front office
as he was on the diamond.
Strictly an American Leaguer,
he played a total of 19 seasons
in the junior circuit. Eight of
them were with Washington,
from 1923 through 1930. During
part of this span he was John
son's No. 1 receiver.
Ruel was not big. He stood
five feet nine and weighed only
150 pounds. But he was a great
defensive ofhar and in 1924
participated in 24 double plays.
Ruel, soft-spoken and scholar
ly, was a graduate of the Wash
ington University Law School in
St. Louis. He turned most of his
knowledge toward front office
work after 1934 when his play
ing days ended.
He also put in one season as
a manager, piloting the cellar
bound St. Louis Browns in 1947.

Decision To Drop Annual
Blue-Gray Tilt Telecast
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (UPI)
The decision of a broadcast
ing network and former spon
sors to drop the annual telecast
of the Blue-Gray football game
because Negro players were
barred was termed "tragic and
irresponsible" by Gov. George
Wallace Wednesday.
Wallace said the persons
"who pressured and intimidat
ed" the National Broadcasting
Company (NBC) and the
game's sponsors into dropping
the bowl game "hurt all races,
especially the Negro race."
During the 26 year history of
the bowl classic, proceeds of
the game between North and
South All-Stars have gone to a
program of the local Lions Club
set up to help blind and needy
children. Lions Club President
Harris Dawson said the funds
are distributed "without regard
to race, color or creed."
Notified Bowl Officials
Bowl officials were notified
last week by the network the
game would not be televised
this year because Negro play
ers were not invited to partici
pate. The network had carried
the game annually since 1954.
Chrysler Corporation and the
Gillette company sponsored the
broadcast. '
Judges Absolved
Of Riot Blame
NEW YORK (UPI) - The
judges at Roosevelt Raceway
Tuesday were absolved of any
blame by the state Harness
Racing Commission in connec
tion with the riot following the
sixth race last Friday night.
An estimated 500 fans
swarmed onto the track, caus
ing considerable damage and
cancelling the remainder of the
program, after the judges had
refused to nullify the race al
though only two horses fin
ished. The other six entries
were wiped out in a backstretch
collision in what was supposed
to be the first race of the twin
double payoff pool.
"The judges acted with com
plete propriety and in accord
ance with harness racing rules
and regulations," said the com
mission, which will hold a sec
ond meeting today.
The commission also an
nounced that it will "actively
assist in the prosecution of any
one involved in the disorder
and permanently bar any per
son found guilty."
AWARDS PLANNED
NEW YORK (UPI)-A "play
er of the year" trophy will be
presented to the outstanding
football player in the major col
lege division and the Small Col
lege Division of the Eastern
College Athletic Conference this
year.
The presentation of the tro
phies will take place at the an
nual ECAC dinner Dec. 12.

Wallace said in a prepared
statement, "those who pres
sured and intimidated the spon
sors and the network have, as
they always do, hurt all races,
especially the Negro race with
this petty attempt to satisfy
their own selfish motives.
"The receipts from the game
are used for charitable pur
poses, including sight conserva
tion, and almost 60 per cent of
the people who received eye
care under this program last
year were Negroes. Children in
the first grades of 35 Negro
schools and 24 white schools
had eye tests paid for by pro
ceeds from the game," Wallace
said.
Result Of Pressure
Dawson said "it is a fair as
sumption that the ban resulted
from pressure applied either to
NBC or game sponsors by Ne
gro organizations."
Allyn McKeen, general man
ager of the Blue-Gray Associa
tion, said "we are trying to
find out just what is behind it
where the pressure that caused
the cancellation came from."
He said negotiations were un
der way to get NBC's permis
sion for a regional telecast. Un
der a contract which expires in
1966, NBC may determine
whether or not the game is tel
evised or broadcast.
McKeen added Don Faurol,
athletic director at the Univer
sity of Missouri and recruiter
of the northern squad, assured
him the ban was not hamper
ing efforts to line up the North
team.
