Jaycees Challenged
To Paunch Bowl Mix
MEOFORO MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1963 :
Medford Junior Chamber of
Commerce members were for
mally challenged yesterday to
contend against the Grants Pass
Active 20-30 Club in a "Paunch
Bowl" lootball game.
The challenge was accepted
orally. A written acceptance
will be prepared.
The "game" is to be played
at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 8, at
Grants Pass High's Caveman
Field. Proceeds will go to the
United Crusades in each com
munity. The challenge was presented
at Stanley's Restaurant here
yesterday by William D. Fergu
son, Paunch Bowl chairman for
the Grants Pass club. It was
accepted by Jim Butler, member
of the Medford Jaycee board
of directors. He will chairman
the participation of the Med
ford group.
Tackle football will be played.
Pledges Made
The Grants Pass challenge
states that should the jaycees
"make the mistake of accept
ing, Active 20-30 pledged itself
to the following:
1. To subject its team com
posed of young, middle-aged
and elderly club members to
any rules adopted by the adver
sary. (This includes the famous
"Medford Rules" under which
no athletic team from Medford
is ever beaten, only robbed.)
2. To devote all proceeds from
those sadistic enough to attend
to worthy charitable purposes.
The challenge also maintains
that the GP club has consistent
ly demonstrated superiority
over organizations in its area
and is anxious to exhibit its ob
vious talents throughout more
remote areas such as Jackson
ville Junction (commonly
known as Medford).
It is also stated that "the
members of the Junior Chamber
of Commerce of Medford are
well known to be adequately
uninformed and poor in judge
ment to be likely to accept con
test without reasonable hope of
winning."
Naming of Delta Park Complex
After John Kennedy Suggested

posed Delta Park complex north
of Portland m a y be renamed
the John F. Kennedy Memorial
Park and Stadium.
Naming the sports complex
for the late president was sug
gested Wednesday by two Delta
Park Commissioners, Edward
Whelan and Robert Gunderson.
The idea drew some support
from city and county officials
at a meeting but was opposed
by the City Commissioner Or
mond Bean.
He said the city had gone to
a lot of trouble to name the
park site and if it were changed
the public would have to be re
educated. He indicated also he
would be reluctant to again go
through the proceedings to
name the park.

Honeymoon at
Pasadena Hope
Of UW Guard
By JOHN R. LONG
United Press International
SEATTLE (UPI) - All-Coast
guard Rick Redman got mar
ried this morning and is looking
forward to having a honeymoon
in Pasadena and getting back
on the first string.
Redman, a stalwart on the
Washington line most of the sea
son, was demoted to bench
warmer status two weeks ago
following the Husky loss to
UCLA. He was married to
Elaine Ethier, a coed at the
university, at St. Patrick Church
here at 8 a.m. Redman then had
to report for football practice.
Ethier Moved Up
The wedding originally was
scheduled for Saturday, but was
moved up two days when the
Washington - Washington State
game was postponed to that af
ternoon out of respect to tne
memory of President Kennedy.
If all goes well Saturday ana
the Huskies beat the Cougars,
the Redmans can spend the last
two weeks of December in
Southern California while Wash
ington gets ready for the Rose
Bowl game.
Of course, other plans will
have to be made if Washington
State wins here and Southern
California comes out on top in
its cross-town clash with UCLA.
In that case the Trojans will
represent the West Coats in the
New Year's Day classic at
Pasadena. The Redmans will
have to honeymoon somewhere
else.

By United Press International
Talk about courage.
Jacques Plante, the New

a severely bruised shoulder 10
nights ago, sat out two games,
and then decided to return to
though he still was in consider
able pain.
All "Jake, the Snake" did was

the Rangers post a 3-2 victory
over the Detroit Red Wings in
the National Hockey League's

arm tomorrow.
Especially Brilliant
Despite the agony, Plante
was especially brilliant in the
final session, blocking 12 snots
to only three for Detroit net
minder Terry Sawchuk.
Don McKenney tipped in a
long shot by defenseman Harry
Howell for the Ranger win
ning goal at 12:24 of the final
period. New York nad gone
ahead, 2-1, earlier in the ses
sion on a bouncing, 65-foot
drive by Don Johns. Detroit
tied the score two minutes later
when Norm Ullman beat Plante
from close range.
Rod Gilbert of ' the Rangers
provided another highlight of
the game in the first period
when he converted a penalty
shot, which was called when De
troit's Larry Jeffrey fell on the
puck in the crease during a
New York attack.
ASHLAND - "It's a matter of
how long it will take them to

The outlook is for a good, fast
little club.
Schopf has told a Portland

pinning their hopes on speed.
The Raider mentor has a short
age of real height and exper

Redden Lauds Two
Representatives
For Lease Stand
Rep. James A. Redden (D
Medford) today lauded two east
ern Oregon legislators for their
stand on the Boardman lease.
Redden stated that Rep. Clin
ton Haight (D-Baker) and Rep.
Jack Smith (D-Condon) showed
"courage and business acumen"
in opposing the one-sided Boeing
lease.
Redden pointed out that east
ern Oregon is more favorablv
disposed to the lease because
of the geographical location, but
mat "this lease is a bad deal '
for any part of Oregon.
Redden stated that "as an at
torney, I would not allow anv
client, in the position of the
state, to sign such an unfavor
able lease." He emphasized the
following portions of the lease
wnicn he said would "hurt Ore-gonians":
1. If Boeing polluted the Co
lumbia River, and the State
stepped in to prevent it, it
could be a breach of the lease.
2. There is no requirement
on Boeing's part to develop any
project helpful to the State.
Unequal Rights Noted
3. Unqual rights in cancella
tion, with Boeing having more
rights than Oregon.
Redden claimed these were
but a few of the problems, add
ing that the "use test" was
weighted in Boeing's favor, and
that Boeing's right of first re
fusal on added land was unfair
to Oregonians.
On a "strictly business basis,
the Medford legislator said that
Oregon could get a better deal
for the citizens and need not
give this 77-year stranglehold to
an out of state industry.
The bill involved, according
to Redden, read more like a re
lease of liability than a proposed
statute. He claimed more of the
language of the bill was devoted
to ratifying past acts of the
Land Board, which are not com
pletely known to the members
of the legislature, than actually
curing recently found defects.
Redden expressed hope that
more legislators would take a
"long, hard look" at House Bills
1014 and 1020 before next Monday.
Oregon's Hoop Team
Should Be Stronger
By GORDON RICE
EUGENE (UPI) - Oregon's
basketball team should be
stronger this season despite the
presence of eight sophomores on
a 14-man squad, coach Steve
Bclko believes.
Or, to put it another way:
"It should be a good season
for us if you don't figure it on
wins and losses."
That's because the Ducks face
the problem of stopping such
outstanding big men as Oregon
State's Mel Counts, Portland's
Steve Anstett and Stanford's
Tom Dose without an estab
lished center of their own.
The b a 1 1 1 e for the starting
spot now is between sophs Gene
Biockmeyer (6-9) and John
Franz (6-6), Belko says. Lewis
Patterson (6-9), another soph,
suffered a broken hand early in
the practice season and "is a
little further behind."
The Oregon coach also has ex
perimented with using veteran
forwards Jim Johnson (6-5) and
Steve Jones (6-5) at the center
spot if all else fails.
If we do mat, Johnson would
be our offensive center and we'd
use Jones there on defense," ac
cording to Belko.
If the center problem can be
solved, the Ducks will be in
good shape. Johnson and Jones,
both two-year lettermen, tied for
the team lead in scoring last
year with 376 points each.
Behind those two at forward
are Larry Cooley (6-4), who
played 117 minutes last season,
and Bill Jennings, a 6-5 sopho
more. Burnett In Key Snot
Three lctterman guards also
return, but the key man at this
position will be 6-3 Jim Barnctt,
rated one of the best sophomores
in years at Oregon.
"It's going to take him a little
while to adjust," Belko warns,
but "we think he will provide
some extra punch for us."
lhe Riverside, Calif., star led
the frosh in scoring with a 22.3
average last season and cracked
the 30-point mark twice.
The other guard probably will
be Elliott Gleason. a 6-2 iunior
letterman who scored well at
the end of last season. Also
available are Bob Yates and
Pat Loy, both junior lettermen.
Another sophomore who might
surprise everyone is Dave Ka
foury, a guard from Portland's
Cleveland High School. Over
looked in the freshman crop of
a year ago, he averaged 10.5
points a game and Belko rates
him as one of the best outside
shooters he's had in recent
years.
The Ducks play 26 games
starting Monday and Tuesday
nights at Palo Alto, Calif.,
against Stanford.
"We've added a couple of
teams and with possibly one ex
ception all the other teams we
always play will be stronger,"
Belko thinks. In addition to the
traditional Nurthwest opponents,
the Ducks play .California, Stan
ford, Montana, Wyoming, Air
Force and Denver.

De Gaulle Foe
Raps Funeral Trip
PARIS (UPI) A Socialist
foe of President Charles d
Gaulle charged Wednesday
night that the French leader
used his trip to President Ken
nedy's funeral for "political exploitation."
Marseille's Mayor Gaston De-
ferre, who is believed to be the
Monsieur X" the opposition is
grooming to oppose De Gaulle
in the next presidential election
said in a speech at a political
scientists' dinner that the U.S.
visit was being used "for the
profit of Gaullism."
Deferre said De Gaulle went
to Washington because he re
alized that the assassination of
Kennedy had put his own anti
Americanism in a bad light
and perhaps in the hope that
the new U.S. administration
might be more sympathetic
than the old to his hopes of
dominating Europe.
"With Kennedy, that (policy
of domination) didn't work,"
the mayor said. "Perhaps he
(De Gaulle) hopes it will suc
ceed with Johnson."
Deferre raid he himself
favors French recognition of
Red China, which De Gaulle
has been rumored considering.
If the president does grant it,
the Socialist charged, it would
only be "to show hostility to
the United States." -

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (UPI)
A drive for a postage stamp
of 3-year-old John F. Kennedy

The Union said a stamp of
the small boy's salute to his
dead father and President "will
remind us again and again of
the rededication to preservation
of our nation's ideals which each
of us resolved in silent pledge
as we sorrowed for our mar

The newspaper said the stamp
would serve "as a lasting trib

lumbus Day storm of 1962 was
an act of God, a Multnomah
County Circuit Court decided
Wednesday in denying a claim
for damages.
Dr. C. M. Wegner of Heppncr
sued Western Skyways, Inc., of
Troutdale for $5,650 after his
plane was badly damaged in the
storm. The craft was in a hang
ar awaiting repairs, and Weg
ner said the firm was negligent
in not anchoring it more sccure-
But the jury ruled the defend
ant could not have anticipated
the ferocity of the windstorm
and denied the claim.
