MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Barrett To Face Borne Thursday Irish Paddy Barrelt, t h c flashy redhead who made a big hit with local wrestling tans when he held Nick Kozak to a draw on the Thanksgiving night card, returns to the Medford armory mat next Thursday night and will appear in the spe- , 4 MONDAY, DECEMBER 23, 19S3 PADDY BARRETT Favorite Coming Back cial event of a four-match slate featuring some of the top pro fessionals in the northwest. Barrelt, who showed a f i n e knowledge of the finer points of wrestling, will have his work cut out for himself this time, however, for he meets loud mouth Tough Tony Borne, who is considered to be one of the toughest of the heavyweights. Borne left here in a huff two months ago after losing his title to Nick Bockwinkle and it took considerable prodding on the part of Matchmaker Elton Owen to get him to come back. The opener, scheduled for the mat at 8:30 p.m., will introduce Frenchy Tillet to local fans. Tillet, who comes from Texas with a reputation as a rough and tough character, goes against Ki Lee, the spectacular Chinese judo artist, who made his initial appearance here on the last card. The main event sends The Destroyer in with Luther Lind sey while Bockwinkle collides with Maurice "Mad Dog" Vach on in the semi-windup. Ringside reserved seat tickets are available at Lamport's Sporting Goods store. SPORTS Mustangs High For Duck Game DALLAS (UPI) - Coach Hay den Fry likens his Southern Methodist Mustangs to the Mar ine Corps, his service alma mater. 'We have Esprit De Corps after the SMU defense once had a chance to readjust, the going got real sticky. Linebackers John Hughes and Jim Sitton, guards Ronnie Cos- pcr and Marton Cude and tack he says of a Mustang squad that es j0hn Knee and Bob Oyler probably stacks up as the best exploited their stunting quick- 4-6 record team in the nation Fry and his Mustangs are not a bit ashamed of the record they will take into the Dec. 31 Sun Bowl game at El Paso, Tex., against Oregon. They feel the team as earned it, losses not withstanding. SMU commanded the rapt re spect of all its opponents the past season despite the fact the 1962 Mustangs won only two of 10 games. Seven of those eight losses were by seven points or less and the same pattern prevailed this past tall when four of their six setbacks were by a touchdown or less. The reason was fundamental ly team spirit and desire be cause the Mustangs seldom could match the opposition in manpower. "I would like to play jaw to jaw football, but we don't have the people," Fry declares. "Our defense stunts so much because that is the only way we can get past our bigger opponents. "Like the Marine Corps, we have Esprit De Corps. It's eas ier to keep a small squad hap pier when you aren't winning than a large one. The Mustangs always seemed happy and their record of close ones bears out the fact they were aggressive. Their slim list of victories in cludes a 32-28 defeat of Navy, the memory of which the Mid dies would like to erase in the Cotton Bowl against Texas, and a 10-0 blanking of Air Force's Gator-Bowl bound Falcons. And, the team's defensive stal warts are sorry they won't get a chance to try their shackles on Oregon's Mcl Rcnfro, who hurt a hand and then signed a pro contract prior to the Sun Bowl announcement. The opposition made SMU look bad early in most games, but St. Mary's 70-63 Victor Over Saints St. Mary's of Medford, manu facturing a 13-point margin dur ing a 29 - point fourth quarter, surged to a 70-63 basketball vic tory over St. Francis High of Eugene here on Saturday night. The win gave the Crusaders a scries sweep. They beat the Saints 87-81 on Friday evening. St. Mary's applied a pressing game over the second, third and fourth slamas in their Satur day night ruckus. For the sec ond night the Crusaders had a troublesome first half. The press hurt them a little in the second quarter but they stuck with it. In the third session it began to gain results and it paid real dividends in the fourth. First quarter score was tied 14-all. St. Francis went in front 31-22 in the second canto and led 43-41 at the end of the third. St. Mary's took the lead at 47-45 on a jump shot by Randy Cor liss. The Crusaders, who gained their third win of the season without a loss, extended to 67-54 with three minutes left to play. Batzer Scores 2S John Batzer ran up 26 count ers as four Crusaders scored in double totals. Corliss had 13, Ron Roberts 12 and Mike Soran 11. Mike Kehoe put in 25 for the Saints and Scott Taylor 11. Cor liss cleared 11 rebounds and Kehoe 10. St. Francis had 31-30 team edge in retrieves. Twenty of 35 shots from the free line made the scoring dif ference for St. Mary's. The Saints of Eugene hit nine of 14. St. Francis shot .422 from the field on 27 of 64 and St. Mary's .349 on 25 of 72. SM Coach Dick Paup declared that he was real pleased with his whole Crusader group both games. He praised the club for lots of hustle. He said he was especially pleased with Dennis Rose who is "really coming along" in his rebounding and also his shooting. The Eugene club is now 2-2 for the season with the Oregon School Activities Association de termining that their game with Pleasant Hill was a victory. The question was whether SF won 68-67 or 68-66 or tied 68-all. St. Mary's will play in the holiday tournament this Friday and Saturday at Cave Junction. ncss to the utmost to keep the enemy off balance. SMU's offense, however, had only sporadic moments of glory. Against the Navy, the Mustangs sprang converted track star John Roderrick loose for some tremendous sprints around end and quarterbacks Danny Thom as and Mac White kept pump ing away with their passes to clutch player Billy Gannon. It was SMU's finest night. "We were truthfully not that good," Fry says of that Navy victory. "Only our hustle kept us in the game. We won because we wouldn't give up." That is the same esprit de corps Oregon will have to watch for against SMU, which hasn't been to a bowl game since it beat Oregon 21-13 in the 1949 Cotton Bowl.

The Blades opened with a three-goal flurry in the first pe riod and added another marker in the second period before Se attle came storming back with three goals in the final period. hot team tn the league on the final Sunday of the regular sea son. The Oakland Raiders edged the Houston Oilers, 52-49, in the highest scoring AFL game ever played. Despite the win, the Raiders failed in their game try lo overtake San Diego. The Kansas City Chiefs drubbed the New York Jets, 48-0 in Ihe oth er game played. In winning the Western Divi sion title for the third time in four seasons, the Chargers fin ished with an 11-3 record, one game ahead of Oakland. In their first two playoff ventures, in 1960 and '61, the Chargers lost both times to Houston. Paul Lowe scored two touch downs, on runs of 10 and 66 yards, and gained 183 yards in 17 carries for San Diego. The Chargers scored Ihe first four times they had possession of the ball, yet they led only 26-17 at halftime. Don Breaux, rookie Denver quarterback, hit on eight straight pass attempts during the first half to keep his team in the game. However, George Blair s 28-yard field goal and Lowe's 66-yard touchdown run pulled the Chargers away in the third period. And wilh second- string quartei'DacK Jonn nam taking over for most of the fi nal quarter, they broke the game wide open with 22 points.

CHARTER From Ashland AIRPORT CHEROKEE 180 AL PORTER LEBANON-Cratcr High's Co met cagcrs grabbed the lead at the slart and stayed in front on Saturday night to defeat Lcba non here 49-38. The outcome evened the score for a Friday night 52-51 win by Lebanon. It was a slow, deliberate con test with the home team War- riors playing a control offense and zone defense. The Comets worked the ball in for short jump shots for their field scores. Good rebounding and scoring work by big men Bob Stroh and Mike Turner, backboard aid by Darryl Summerficld and scor ing support from Summerficld and Larry Pepper figured in the triumph. And the Comets were steady with the ball. Capitalizes on Fouls Crater had 13-2, 19-12 and 32- 27 quarter leads with a gap once of 17-2. Lebanon cut the Comet margin to 28-26 with two min utes left in the third quarter. Pressing tactics by the Warriors as the Fireballs came down the court with the ball, however, led to fouls and Crater was able to capitalize on these to widen its advantage. Mike Turner had 15 points and Stroh 13 for the Comets and each cleared eight rebounds. Steve Simpson's 13 points were high for Lebanon.
