MEDFOKD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Sport Parade By OSCAR FRALEY United Preu International NEW YORK. (UPD-Britain's medical experts are taking a close look at boxing's head in juries and, pending a report next year on which the sport could rise or fall, British sourc es have reported that both sides are readying their ammunition. "The grinding of axes can be heard from both sides," asserts the boxing writer of the Lon don Times. The panic started for those who want to keep boxing in business at a conference of the British Association of Sport and Medicine on the medical as pects of boxing. One of the first reports was that "punch drunkenness" was more common among profes sionals than among amateurs, and more frequent among the second-raters or the prelimin ary boys than among those of championship caliber. Cleveland Angel Trade Is Puzzler SAN DIEGO, Calif. (UPI)-A trade that was two years in the making Leon Wagner for Bar ry Latman may take the rest of the American League 10 years to figure out. "There must be more to it than that," declared an aston ished Ralph Houk of the Yan kees who along with most base ball men felt that the trade was rather one-sided in Cleveland's favor. Actually there was more to the deal than the Los Angeles Angels merely giving up the 29-year-old Wagner to the In dians for the 27-year-old Lat man. "In addition to Latman," ex plained Angel General Manag er Fred Haney, "we will re ceive another player from Cleveland by March 1, and it will be a major leaguer, not a minor leaguer." Even so there was consider able wonderment as to why the Angels would give up a slugging outfielder like Wagner, who drove in 90 runs, his 26 homers and batted .291 even though he slumped practically half the year. "We weren't the least bit an xious to give up Wagner," said Haney, "we need pitching. We also have some fine young hit ters coming up, kids like Ed Kirkpatrick and Dick Simpson among others. That's why we felt we could spare Wagner." The prevailing feeling in oth er quarters, however, was that the Angels wearied of Wagner when his average nose-dived 60 points from .350 in July and when he hit only two of his homers and drove in only 19 of his runs at home all last season.

A noted surgeon reported that he believed the risk of head in jury might be greater in foot ball (soccer) from contact of the head with a heavy wet ball. Theory Borne Out This would seem to be borne out to some extent by a chart from the Royal Free Hospital which reported treatment of 45 sporting head injuries over the past six years. Of these, 10 were from football and only o-.e from boxing. The question is, of course. whether boxers go for treat ment after they have been knocked out or batted around like a handball. In most cases, you can bet, they shrug off the medico and merely accept the marbies with the money. One doctor held that there were other risks in the boxing profession aside from being slapped permanently silly. He found that many lived too high and drank too much and con tended that the quota of danger in boxing did not seem suffi cient to "do away with it." Some of the maneuvering would have done credit to a U.S. investigating committee hamming it up before a full set of television cameras. One physician asserted that he had seen "quite a number of head injuries from boxing during the past 20 or 30 years." Then, a member of the medi cal subcommittee of the British Boxing Board of Control blew a slight whistle on him. Upheld by Board 'We did find one boxer and," he said of the previous physi cian, he had given him a li cense to box. We did not agree and we were upheld by the stewards of the board of con trol." Then he added the line which typifies the tragedy of a world in which boxing commissions have no iron-hard agreements internationally. "This boxer," he explained, "went away somewhere else to box." As an addendum, he added, the post mortem reports on eight boxers previously killed in the ring "showed no evidence of any previous brain damage." Once, in other words, was enough. The result of the entire con ference seemed to indicate that school boxins was run with rig id care, amateur boxing could use a bit more caution in spots but that professional boxing is the same the world over. It's sick and it needs help.

Washington State Full Cage Member of Big 6 TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1963 By MICHAEL FLYNN United Press International PULLMAN (UPD- Washing ton State rejoins its Big Six brothers this season as a full basketball member after five years in exile following Uie demise of the old Pacific Coast Conference. But the green crew which staggered through a 5-20 record last year will have to give evi dence that it is ready for the better competition this time round if Cougar hoop fortunes are to rise. Coach Marv Harshman wel comed back five of his top six scorers from the 1962-63 squad and has 10 men from which to Doug Dickey Hired by Tennessee KNOXVILLE. Tenn. (UPD - The University of Tennessee to day hired Doug Dickey, an as sistant at Arkansas, as head football coach, and gave him a four-year contract to restore the Vols to their former gridiron glory. Dickey, 31-year-old son of a college professor apparently signed his contract during a closed meeting with the Tennes see athletic board. It is believed to call for a $16,000 annual salary. Coach Jim McDonald, who held the top job for only five months, was shifted to the 2asz0f afuiutaco aomletic direcn post of assistant athletic direc tor Sunday. He had succeeded Bowden Wyatt last June when Wyatt's illness and alumni com plaints against Tennessee's old style single wing attack forced him out. Didn't Take McDonald had tried to install a multiple offense rather than relying on the single wing. It relying on the single wing. It didn't take. Tennessee finished with a 5-5 record this year but only three of its victories were over Southeastern Conference foes. Dickey played football under Bob Woodruff at the University of Florida in 1951-53 as a quar terback. Woodruff, who lost his Florida job, now is Tennessee athletic director. Dickey is a native of Gainesville, Fla., where his late father was a University of Flor ida professor. choose his starting contingent. About the only man sure of a job is 6-1 playmaker Bvron Vadset, who led all scorers last season with 385 points and a ia.4 average. Ted Werner.' 6-8 junior center. is being pushed by 6-5, 190 pound sophomore Walt Frier son. Werner ranked right be hind Vadset with 259 points and led the Cougars on the board with 218 rebounds. Harshman says "as a team we should shoot better this sea son," and shooting will be the factor which decides the out come of the donnybrook going on for the other three starting positions. Should Shoot Better Pushing for the job opposite Vadset are Jim Walton, 6-1 sen ior who was third in scoring last year with 255 points; 5-11 sophomore Tom Tommervik, and footballer Dennis Kloke, who should be ready by the first of the year. At forward, Jim Knoslman, 6-7 junior scored 40 points and grabbed 56 rebounds, and squad- man Ken Hammer and Brent Watson, who scored 52 points between them, are the choices. Football quarterback Dale Ford, a junior who scored 150 points, will be in the running when he makes the transition from the football field to the court. Dr.WaskowWill Speak Here Tonight The appearance in Medford today of Dr. Arthur Waskow, Washington, D.C., senior staff member of the Peace Research Institute, is sponsored by the Medford and Ashland Human Rights Councils and the Jackson County Chapter, Oregon United Nations Association. His talk will be at 8 o'clock tonight in the Medford High School lecture room. His topic will be "Human Rights in the International Scene." Dr. Waskow has written books and magazine articles on peace, civil defense, disarmament, and racial conflict. For two years he was legislative assistant to a U.S. Congressman after he received his doctorate in Amer ican history at the University of Wisconsin. Heaviest Blows In Football on Side of Helmet PORTLAND (UPD An asso ciate professor of surgery at the Northwestern University Medi cal School said Sunday that a three-year study of head impact in Big Ten football games show ed the most frequent and heavi est blows fell on the sides of the helmet. D. Stephen E. Reid spoke at the opening of the American Medical Assocation's annual clinical meeting here. He described to AMA dele gales how a miniature radio station built into a football hel met has provided scientific guidelines for minimizing the possibility of head injuries. 5.000 Times Gravity Blows of more than 5,000 times the force of gravity were sustained on three occasions by the helmet worn by a fullback in a Northwest-Ohio State game, Reid said. He said it was more than 500 times the force of gravity experienced by an as tronaut on lift-off and re-entry of a space capsule. However, he said that blows of that force were recorded only four times in eight games re. searched this season. The study, aimed at finding out how efficiently helmets pro tect players' heads and how the equipment can be improved, was started at the suggestion of the AMA. Medford.&Tribunb SPORTS S ru. V"-'. 4. V.H V' ' Liberty Bid Taken by NC State PHILADELPHIA (UPD North Carolina State today ac cepted a bid to play in the fifth annual Liberty Bowl football game at Philadelphia Stadium Dec. 28. The announcement was made by Ambrose F. (Bud) Dudley, president of the Liberty Bowl Charities, Inc. team selection committee.

The Wolfpack is also 6-1 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, giv ing them the co-conference championship with North Caro lina which has been selected Ew VIA BEAR SETS RECORD A Wisconsin black bear record which was established last week was short-lived when a New Berlin, Wis., hunter bagged a 665-poundcr. Otto Hedbany, left, shot the bear with a single shot while hunting with Donald Streubel, right, Milwaukee. It took them about three hours to get the bear out of the den and they needed the help of four other hunters to get the huge animal 150 yards to the road. The boy is unidentified.

Carl Scott 202, Duwnync Peterson 200; Slump Jumpers 2535, NFL Struggles Through Marathon Draft Session By ED SAINSBURY UPI Sports Writer CHICAGO (UPI) - The Na tional Football League struggled into the dawn today to attempt to wind up its annual draft of college talent and get on about the business of signing raw ma terial against the bids of the ri val American League. The NFL plum-picking ses sion progressed at the slowest pace in history as every team cautiously sounded out pros pects before it marie its official selection. Thus the first round required 8 hours and 8 minutes com pared to the previous record of 4 hours 55 minutes. The second round was completed in 4 hours and 8 minutes and Uie third, with a 15-minute time limit im posed for each choice, in 2 hours 25 minutes. But the result was that after almost 15 hours, the 14 teams in the league had named only 42 college players of a total of 280 supposed to be chosen, and each team had obtained rights to only three players. The pattern paid off for some clubs. Four signed their No. 1 se lections before midnight, Minne sota tackle Carl Ellcr with Min nesota, Tennessee tackle Dick Evey with Chicago, Utah State quarterback Bill Munson with Los Angeles, and Indiana half back Marv Woodson with Balti more. Two No. 2 picks were wrapped up too, Southern California end Hal Bcdsole by Minnesota and Kentucky tackle Herschel Tunv or by St. Louis. The club owners. Dlaeued with the problem of comoletine tha draft so that they can continue trying to sign prospects under the threat from the AFL, settled down for an all night stand in an attempt to complete the 20 rounds scheduled.
