Cham fromfte bf CimOH HMNOH HERE IS THE chance that the Klamath Basin sports lans have to lend their kupport to Uie Ore gon Tech Owls, and see one of the finest football games on the Owls' schedule this year, T.-,,nnH Kti will he here this Saturday night as the Mile High -.m, reiPhmtes its homccom- ing weekend, and wha-. a weekend from the Gavilan camp echoing It could turn out to be lor thejaround him, Saxton went into Owls. In the bag for the winner of the Saturday night came, is a possi- bility of taking over the No. 1 spot in the Oregon Collegiate Coher ence should the high flying 60CE Hed Raiders drop their game to OCE this Saturday. Goin all out to let the Basin football fans in on what kind of a football program the local college has, 2,250 complimentary ticKeu. have been distributed to the city grade schools, and with each adult ticket bought tnis comp oucav wm admit the youngster in free. So mon and dad, why not take the boy or girl to Oregon Tech's home coming game Saturday nigni.- Ron Phair of the Big Y market on South Sixth Street, has pur chased two entire sections of re served seats (sections C and Gl. and or everv 20 Brocery order from the Big Y, one $1.75 reserved seat ticket will be given free. This idea of businesses buying sections or entire stadiums out for certain games started back in the East and is gradually making its way Into almost every part of the country, Remember, If we want college football to stay In Klamath Falls, we are going to have to start sup porting it, especially with next year's nome scneauie, uiciuuiuk several of the nation's top junior colleges. IT IS BEGINNING to look as If the County League football race might very well end up In a tie between Chlloquln and Malin, should both teams get over their opponents this Saturday afternoon, and by rights they should. As of now both teams have won two, lost none and tied one. (The one tie In a game between each . other with the final score 6-61. And should they both pick up victories tomorrow they will have finished the league season with Identical 8-0-1 records. Should this happen, we would Ilka to see another game, a play off, one could call It, to determine who will represent this league in the district playoff November 6 at Merrill between St. Mary's ot Medford and Uie County League's winner, A coin flipping situation or ote of the principals doesn't seem quite fair since both teams have turned In the same number of league wins and tied each other in the only game played between the two. That is why we are In favor of a playoff game. The Ideal time for the deciding game, (should both teams windup the season tied) would be one week from this Saturday, October 30. Both clubs drew byes on that date, and a game then would keep the represenatlve in shape lor their game with the Medford team a week Inter According to rules governing the County League, the members ot the Principals and Conches Asso ciation of Klamath County will be the determining point in the dead lock. Our only hope Is that they decide on a plnyoff game. Then all arguments will be decided once and for all. NOW WE'RE getting back to the eld grind of picking football Barnes. Last week's gnmes helped our percentage out quite a lot as we took 16 right calls out of IB tries, raising our season's mark to 54 right calls and 18 wrong calls lor a .150 percentage clip.

Today, with cries of 'robbers" court to face a possible 15-day sentence. He Is charged with 12 traffic violations. "I hope the judge will give me a break," said the 24-year-old New Yorker. INSISTED Gavilan Insisted he got no breaks last night when a highly controversial unanimous 15-round decision relieved him of the 147 pound crown he had worn for 3', years. While the referee and two judges were in accord and had Saxton the champion by the 12th round barring a knocking, 20 of 22 box ing -writers at the ringside had Gavilan the winner in what had to be the worse fight of his career. Gavilan, alternately crying and screaming and alternately retiring and unretirlng, sobbed after the fight: "People don't talk for nothing. I know from the first round on lhat I cannot win. The referee he gives Saxton everything hrs way. I no want to fight no more. I give my left hand I give my right hand to the Pennsylvania commis sion. Everything steenk." ROBBED "The Kecd, he Is robbed," screamed his manager, Angel Lo pez, "The Keed, he is Jobbed. I know he have to win big but after he take last three rounds I figure for sure they must give him the decision. I say to the Keed, "They cannot take it away from you.' I am wrong. I give you the Penn sylvania commission. They can take the championship and keen it." "It was a lousy, stinking fight." said Chairman Frank Wiener of the Pennsylvania Athletic Com mission. "If Gavilan fought like I've seen him In the past, Saxton wouldn't have won." He made that statement to Frank (Blinky) Palermo, manager oi uie cnampion, and Jim Norris. president of the International Box ing Club in the Saxton's dressing room. STILL CRYING Later, Wiener said, 'If Gavl- lan's handlers are still crying rob bers, crooks and fix after they have hnd time to cool off, it will cost them. Both Gavilan and Sax ton stunk out the house. Let Sax ton take his title to Syracuse and fight Carmen Basillo, and let Gavi lan fight anywhere but in Philadel phia." ' There was more action and con fusion in Gavilan's dressing room, including a fist fight, than there was in the "fight." Wiener frowns on return bout contracts and there was none re corded with the commission, How- Ihe Keed was through fighting and then maybe not, insisted he had an ironclad contract for a return bout in New York City within 80 days. Palermo, who had told re porters Unit Lopez was correct, re versed his field. He said Saxton might face Basillo, the No. 1 con tender, first, with the winner to meet Oavilan. Then he said it's up to Norris. Norris said, "We'll see what hap. pens. I think Gavilan should fight as a middleweight. ! BEWILDERED Meanwhile, Saxton. bewildered but happy, said, "I fought the fight like I planned lo win. I had him puzzled." What Wiener said about the dull. listless, clinch - filled fiasco un doubtedly goes double for the Inno cent 7,909 fans who shelled out $57,121. The customers booed through most of the activity. mis observer had Gavilan In front. 8-4-3. The oftlclals voted for Saxton this way: Referee Pete Pnnteleo, 9-6: Judge Jimmy Mina, 7-6-2. and Judge Nat Lopinson. 8- 6-1. They all gave Gavilan the last three rounds. When they didn't pose and wait for the other to lead, the boxers hulled and pulled at close range. There were no knockdowns, nnt urally. and few solid blows were landed. Gavilan weighed 145'.,, Saxton 14ii'4.

Tne Chicago industrialist de clared he felt "wronged by the Philadelphia group who so sudden ly appeared on the scene, and has placed the matter In the hands of a Philadelphia law firm to study the advisability of filing suit, SUBSTANTIAL In view of the indicated ad vance ticket sale (in Kansas City) of almost two, million dollars, the Imcasure of my damages should be substantial," Johnson said. , "The Isult would be not only for the cash damages sustained by me, but al- so on the grounds that this group Durocher Grateful To Giants HOLLYWOOD M Leo' Duro-cher-the brand-new Durocher makes no claim to genius. "I am deeply grateful lo 27 players on the New York ball club," the Giants' manager said Wednesday night with obviously Intense feeling. His statement climaxed a testi monial dinner given in his honor by fellow members ol the exclus ive Hillcrest Country Club. There must have been 500 there, includ ing a host of outside guests. GENIUS Leo said he had been described as a genius after Giants' aston ishing four straight - game World . Series triumph. He laughed and said: "I am a genius. Last spring I asked Hor ace Stonehani to get rid of Dusty Rhodes. I said he can't do noth ing." Well, Leo went on, Dusty still can't throw and he's liable to get hit on the head by a fly ball. But Dusty, as all will recall, was the pinch-hitting hero of the series against Cleveland. One by one, Leo reeled off the names of his players and gave little sidelights as he went down the line. He told of the fourth game in Cleveland. ' Capt. Alvln Dark dropped the word to Leo that they were having trouble In the later innings hitting the Cleveland left hand pitching. RIGHT-HAND "Something In the center field bleachers, Durocheu continued. A hot dog stand. People moving around. They didn't have any trouble with right-hand ' pitching, but I remembered what Al told me. "That's why I put In Johnny Antonelli (a left-hander). What was it, three strike-outs? We got em out of there. Durocher told another sidelight Indicating the confidence of his team, Dark yelled to his team mates as they took the field that day for the final, fourth game: "This is a lousy town. Let's get out of here." Which they did that night. Campy's Plans For Next Year Still Unknown NEW YORK ft Whether an able-bodied Roy Campanella will be behind the plate for the Brook lyn Dodgers next season won't be known for another four or six six weeks at least. It will be that long before doc tors can test the results of the second operation in six months on the veteran catcher's left hand. Alter the four-hour operation yesterday, it was announced there was an "excellent chance" but no out-and-out guarantee Campy's hand would return to normal. Dr. Samuel Schcnkman. a neuro surgeon who performed the oper ation, and Dr. Lyndon Hill, who assisted, offered this appraisal bul added: "No more will be known for from four to six weeks, when further tests will be made." The first operation, in Mav. re moved a bone chip The surgery sidelined Campanella for four weeks and left the hand partially paralyzed.

Roy Mack at that time agreed without equivocation to sell the team to me for transfer to Kansas City. Johnson said m a statement, I "It-never was contemplated that Mr. Mack would be given an op- portunity to look for other pur chasers, or to do anything except lo talk to his family. UNBELIEVABLE "It seems unbelievable to me lhat the agreement with me made in g00d taitn ha5 now been violated ' .. chicaso meeting. Roy Muck was given until last Monday to sell his stock lo Johnson and thus complete a deal of nearly four million dollars that would wipe out the Athletics' Indebted ness and send them to an en thusiastic Kansas City. Roy's brother Earle and father Connie long had pressed for the sale to Johnson. Before last Monday's deadline, a group of eight Philadelphia men bought the stock from the Macks, and announced they had saved the A's for their own city, where the club has been for 54 years. Johnson was left holding the bag. But the American League vote needed to approve the sale to the Philadelphia syndicate has not been forthcoming thus far. NO STATEMENT League President Will Harridge has had only one comment: "There will be no statement until the final papers have been signed for the purchase of the Philadelphia Ath letics. ' Art Gallagher, a member of the syndicate, said in Philadelphia that he considers Johnson's statement "entirely unwarranted." "As X recall it the last thing Roy said before he left Chicago wns that his final decision de pended upon what his family want ed him to do," said Gallagher, And it is clear from his trans action with our group that his family prevailed upon him to keep the A's in Philadelphia, where they belong."

LOOKS GOOD THIS WEEK New 2Ya" Magnum Shells Limit 2 DUCK STAMPS 3" Magnum Guns Winchester and Reminqton DEER SEASON Last Week-End In California SPORT HAL'S SHOP S32 Main Committee tions reported Portland violated NCAA regulations by conducting tryouts for 11 prospective basket ball players last April while West ern Illinois State participated in the Corn Bowl football game at Bloomlngton, III., Jast Nov. 28. The Corn Bowl is not recognized by the NCAA. The council also announced at its final session that Michigan State College, placed on probation In August, 1953, for conducting football tryouts, had been restored to all "rights and privileges of an NCAA member." The probationary period handed CCNY bans the New York school basketball team from playing in the NCAA national championship tournament at Kansas City In 1955. The council's move was the first action, taken against CCNY since the school's basketball scandals of 1950 resulted in a com plete overhauling of the college's athletic setup. The council's report said that the "High school records of 14 or more athletes admitted to Ctty College of New York during the years 1945 to 19ol were suttictent- ly and fraudently changed to establish eligibility for admission to the college.'-' REPEAT The ruling affects only CCNY's basketball team with respect to NCAA-sponsored o r approved tournaments or post-s e a s o n events. All of Miami's teams, on the other hand, are barred from com peting in any NCAA-approved post season game or tournament. The ruling dealt a stiff blow to Miami's football team wmcn is undefeated in four games this sea son. Miami has brushed past Fur man, Holy Cross, Baylor and Mis sissippi State and has been men tioned prominently for a berth 'n a nost-season bowl game. Miami drew the probationary period, the council said, because the school violated NCAA regula tions by providing "transportation rosts of prospective atnietes to visit the campus during at least the past four years and for con ducting "tryouts for prospective football players."

No matter what method of pick' ing, It should be an improvement over last week's efforts, when there were 17 misses in 48 picks lor a puny .646 average. That low ered the seasonal mark to .728 with 166 correct and 63 wrong. This week's forecast: Oklahoma over Kansas State: Here's wishing the entire list could be as easy. Ohio State over Wisconsin: The Ohio State line, the game's big question mark, to get inspiration Irom the Buckeye fans. But it will be bruising tast to keep Alan Ameche, Jim Miller and Jim Ha luska in check. UCLA over Oregon State: Jack Ellena, UCLA tackle, one of best in country, and all his mates are above average. Mississippi over Arkansas: A contest featuring two of the coun try's unbeaten elevens. Statistics show that Mississippi has the strongest offense, the best passing and is the nation's stingiest when it come to yielding yardage. That's a rugged combination. Minnesota over Michigan: The McNamara brothers make the dif ference. Army over Columbia: To win this one, Columbia needs 11 Claude Benhams and has only one. The others without comment: THURSDAY South Carolina over Clemson. FRIDAY NIGHT Purman over Davidson, Wichita over Denver, Detroit over Tulsa, George Washington over William & Mary, Maryland over Miami SATURDAY EAST: Boston College over Springfield, Brown over Temple, Delaware over Connecticut, Har vard over Dartmouth, Boston Uni versity over Holy Cross, Rutgers over Lehigh, Navy over Penn, Portland U Incident Said Closed PORTLAND lR The Univer sity of Portland gave full coopera tion in an inquiry which led to a reprimand from the NCAA execu tive council, the athletic director said Wednesday, and now regards the case as "almost a closed inci dent.' The council scolded the school for holding what it said were try outs of 11 prospective basketball players under the direction of head coach Art McLarney. Athletic Director Ed Fiene de scribed the sessions last April as "not exactly tryouts," but said "it's certainly not going to hap pen again." i "We had taken corrective ac tion prior to the council's inquiry and gave them complete coopera tion, Fiene said. "So therefore it is almost a closed Incident." Portland University was one of four schools cited in the NCAA report Wednesday, western Illinois State College also was reprimand ed.
