SATURDAY, NOVKMbt,ri 20, 1954 HERALD AND NKWS. KLAMATH I-ALLS. OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN Football Bowl Talk In Motion By ED CORBIGAN By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The talk was all bowls and con ference championships Saturday when the ' major college football powers of the country trotted on ihe Held. Two of the three top clubs were going after their league titles, but neither was Interested In a post season test because they are In liable, both having appeared last New Year's Day. The two were UCLA and Oklahoma. ASSURED , The Uclans could win the Pa clue Coast Conference title again bv dumDinc Southern California, already assured of a Rose Bowl bit'. . t Oklahoma, the perennial Big Seven ruler, also ia barred by con- j feience rules from appearing in a 1 bowl game two years running. So the Sooners' interest in their game with Nebraska is one of knocking the Cornhuskers out of a shot at the Orange, Bowl. If Bud Wilkin son's forces' whip Nebraska ami Kansas Slate overcomes Colorado, ihre will be a tie for the runner up spot. The K-state probably would get the nod, having beaten Nebraska, 7-3, earlier in the sea son. ' Southern California no doubt will have one eye cocked on Columbus where Ohio State, the No. 1 team in the weeklv Associated Press poll, and Michigan clashed with the Big Ten title hanging in the balance. Ohio State needed only a tie to clinch the championship and automatically become the Big Ten Rose Bowl candidate. BASIS A Michigan victory would tie the two teams for the title, each with 6-0 marks. Then the conference would take a vote with the Wolv erines probably getting the ma jority or the basis of their victory over the Buckeyes. Two other teams with bowl as pirations can only ait back and wait. Arkansas, which would like the Southwest Conference Cotton Bow( spot, will have to await the results of the Southern Methodist Baylor game Saturday and the SMU-Texas Christian game next week. An SMU defeat and Arkan sas Is in. Two victories and SMU gets it. i Maryland, the national cnam ; pion last year, also will watch i Duke with a wary eye. The Blue Devils, with an Atlantic Coast Con ference record of 2-0. play South Carolina. Next week, It's North Carolina. Two victories ana uune plays m the Orange Bowl. A de ' feat in either game, and Maryland 'makes a repeat appeafance. In another big one, Notre Dame ; was out to erase the stigma of last ' year's H-all tie-against Iowa and ! possibly enhance. Its national pre3 ' tlge should either of the top three--Ohio State, UCLA or Oklahoma falter. The Irish are No. 4.

Devastating power oo the ground gave Marshfield Its 20-7 decision over plucky Lincoln of Portland, before 4,500 fans at Coos Bay. It was Marshfield's eleventh straight win and preserved the Pirates' un defeated status. South Salem, with only a tie spoiling an otherwise perfect rec ord, overturned Beaveiton 27-7 in Portland. South Salem had beaten Jefferson of Portland and Marsh- Brightman Talks Up Little Men By JACK HEWIN8 Associated Press Sports Writer SEATTLE I If you were a bas ketball coach in this day of giants you'd probably hang a sign over your door saying "Watch Your Stoop" and turn away all who could enter without bending. But you Wouldn't be Horace Al' bert Brightman. Little men hoisted Horace Albert and Seattle University from ob scurity to the basketball heights. It took only four seasons, and the men who made it possible were a couple of little Irlshers from South Amboy, N.J., the O'Brien twins, John and Ed. They were S feet 8 Inches tall. FEMININE After the O'Briens Johnny was All America In 1953 Brightman'B door ts open and his telephone Close at hand. It rang one day and a feminine voice said her grand- ton was coming out from St Cloud, Minn., to live with her. He was a basketball player. j Brightman didn't flinch when she said the player was S feet 9. Today the grandson is a Junto and key man in the Seattle hopes for another season In the national His name". Is Calix Bauer, pc-ker faced little guard sometimes called "The Sphinx" by his tower ing teammates. Even with Bauer at guard, the team Brightman now tabs as his starting quintet wi'l average 6 feet 6. Bauer, the coach p; edicts, will average 20 points per game. PRODUCES Even it the little gay produces. Seattle's Chieftains artr.'t likely to better their mark of last winter, when they dropped their opener to Wichita and then ran a sting of 26 victories, one shy of Seton Hall's all-time record. Bauer was on hand then as 'a sophomore, but the , effense was tuned to 6-9 Joe Pehamck and little Cal, shooting rarely and fro.'.i far out, averaged a dozen points. This year the offense will oe designed tu break Bauer into position for the driving one-handers he fires with an off-balance, fall -away snap. Bob Codes, another six - niner, will move into the center slot va cated by Pehanick's graduation. Stan Glowaskt, a 6-5 senior who can drive and shoot with the best, will be Bauer's running mate at guard. - IIPRFT Briehtman is likely to open with two rookies at forward One, Ken Fuhrer (pronounced "Fear") is a transfer from Olympic Junior Col- lege and was an all - state high Schooler In 1952. The other Is Dick strlcklln. a skinny sophomore frnm California who stands an tnrh and a half taller than Fnhrpr's 6-6.

SMOTHERED St. Helens and Vale will meet for the class 2-A cnampionship next week, with the Oregon School Activities Assn. to pick the da'e and place. St. Helens smothered Dallas 38-0 and Vale knocked over Coquille 21-7 in semi-final games Friday night. Marshfield had only a slight net yardage margin 303 to Lincoln's 282 in their battle, but two driv ing Marshfield backs and several costly - penalties ' against Lincoln proved the difference. Between them, fullback Denny Baker and lef( half Johnny Johnson accounted for 281 yards of Marshfield's total. Baker got two touchdowns and Johnson the other. Baker's four-yard scoring sprint In the first period capped an 33 yard march. Marshfield made It 14-0 In the third quarter with an other Baker touchdown. SUSTAINED Lincoln got a sustained drive going early In the last period. Full back Dick Satalich paced the 83 yard march, his longest gain a 23-yarder. He plunged the final yard to make it 14-7. Marshfield got the clincher with less than four minutes to play. Johnson scored the touchdown on a five-yard run Marshfield may be rated a slight favorite over South Salem In the title game. The teams wound up one-two In the final Associated Press poll of the season, Marsh field edging Salem for the No. 1 position by two points in the vot ing The Salem team, nearlng the end of its first football season as a new school, was not extended against Beaverton. The winners took the opening kickoff and went 63 yards to their first score, with quarterback Herb Juran making the final yard.

Beaverton's defenslvo line stop ped two South Salem threats to keen the halftlme score 7-0.

Joe Schmidt of the Detroit Lions is the brother of John Schmidt who played pro football with Pittsburgh. Jimmy Grow, the Lewlston bat tler proved he could give and take last night In the 10 round main event of the armory boxing card as he swept a unanimous decision irom Ralph Weiser In a bout that cent everyone of the ring fans, who Jammed the armory ring - side and balcony, home happy and with an outstanding fight behind tbein. Already there Is talk of ft re match and the "Joint will be rock ing" if promoter Mack Lfllard can vet the two taovs together again I following their show last night that drew a huge ovation before the decision was rendered by the Judges. MUMBLING Many went away mumbling that thev had not seen such a fight in the local armory in some time, while others went so far to say that two fighters have never put on a display of boxing and punch ing since boxing started In the Basin quite a number of years ago. Grow, who holds the Idaho lightweight title and lays claim to the Pacific Northwest crown, had Weiser down on the canvas three times via the route of a solid left hook, while the Beatty Bomber was down once more, but due Hallway to the slippery canvas in the ring. Grow piled up quite a few points on the Judges cards by scoring knockdowns in the first and sec ond rounds, and then both boys put on one of the finest hit and take ordeals seen by most boxing fans. After Weiser picked himself off the canvas In the second round he came back to land several hard and vicious blows to the mid-section and head of the Idaho, fight- but that dicin t seem to slow up Grow who still came in to meet the dangerous Weiser. BLEEDING In the third round. Grow started Weiser's nose bleeding with con tinuous left Jabs and hooks to Uw face, and throughout the fight blood was prevalent over both fiirhters. but all of It-was Welser'a, as Grow wasn't cut with any of the Beatty Bomber's t err If 10 punches. In the sixth, Weiser began to slow from his early fight pace and Grow began tagging him a few more times for those Important points that gave him the nod over the hard hitting Beatty battler, The third knockdown scored by Grow came in the seventh, but Weiser was right back In the mid dle of the action before referee Wally Moss could get much of a count away A lauah for the large-near-sell out crowd that packed the. local fight arena came in the seventh also. as.. Weiser, while holding Grow In a clinch tapped the Boise youth on the top of the head, then both boys met in the middle of the ring and touched gloves, show ing sportsmanship . demonstrated by both In the "rip-snorting" battle. SOLID Probably the best round came in the 10th and final chapter as Weiser opened the action with a solid right to Grow's head, but thut didn't stop him, as Grow re taliated with left hooks that had the Beatty Bomber on the ropes for a second- and In trouble. Both boys used the left hook to good advantage in last night's bat tle, and Weiser seemed to find the target with It almost every time he threw the sizzling blow. After the fight. Orow and wei ser were bom ready to step back Into the ring again for ft rematch that couldn't be too much better cn and the starting dates will be discussed. At the present time, there are four complete teams with mana gers and sponsors, but there are lour other squads that need spon sors and managers and anyone wishing to help complete this win ter bosketball program Is urged to attend the meeting or contact M;ller or Bob Bonney, city rec reation director. The biggest share John L. Sulli van received 'rom any fight vas 114,000. He received this amount for i three round match with Her bert Slade In 1883. than the show the two fighters put on last night. Weiser had several things to say about Grow including the fact that Grow was une of the fastest men, if not the fastesthe has ever met. and then the Beatty Bomber came out with the best quotation of the evening as be stated, "I nit him with everything I had, but I guess that wasn t enough. ' Grow, in the other section of the armory dressing room was very much Impressed with Weiser and his hitting ability. The Idaho light weight made mention of the fact that "Weiser is ft very dangerous' fighter, because he hits often and bard. He bothered me in ft couple, of the rounds with that left hook; of his. but I was never hurt ser iously." . WELCOME I Jack "Moe" Smith, Grow's man-. ager said he would welcome an other chance to come back to Klamath Falls and meet Weiser again, so It looks as if their might, be another Grow-Weiser match in the making, if so, ticket lines willj be forming in front of Dick Reed-, er's Store for Men before long.i In the somewhat disappointing' preliminaries, not because of. .the fighter's showings, but because nf the fact that Bob Wark, the Se attle fight manager failed to make his scheduled appearance with two of his fighters, making it impossi ble to put on a full scaled sup-. porting card, but everything seemed to be forgotten following the main event. In ft semi-wlndup bout that end ed before the fans settled down after the introduction of the prin cipals, Eddie Brown was in com plete charge from the. first sound of the bell to the time .when Moss counted Bobby Barney out In 45 seconds of the flrct canto. BEATING Brown moved from his corner like a beast upon his prey and be fore the Sprague River KO artist knew what bit him he was backed against the ropes in the black cor ner above the KFJI broadcasting booth taking; a beating of left and rights to the body ana head. From the other aide of the ring oame ft crashing left upperout that hit Bamey flush on the tip of the chin' and the Sprague River, boy dropped like ft failing brick, and was still out as his seoonds reached him following the refer ee a full count of 10. The action of the scheduled S rounder came so quick that Bar ney, who Is usually on the dishing out side of the knockout blow. never landed a punch, as Brown swarmed over him from the start until his opponent dropped to the canvas. REGISTERED ' ' Tvo TKOs were registered in the first two bouts ot the evening. both four rounders, as P. K. Wat son of Willow Ranch was given the verdict over Junior Riddle of Beatty in the opener with one min ute and 16 seconds gone Jn the third round. In the other four round battle that failed to go the full distance. Moss stepped in between Billy Plummer and Dick Henry as Plummer, who halls from Bly, had the Beatty youth against the ropes and taking several left and rights without having a chance to defend himself from the onslaught. The end came in one minute 35 sec. onds of the third. In an exhibition between the two boys who were to meet ' Wark's fighters from Seattle, Don Flcard and Chuck Rough both fought to a no decision finish to give the fans more n gao totloff-eteth-reep nlro more ring action to off-set the pre fight disappointment of many. mm ALL HAIRCUTS SUBURBAN Barber Shop 4717 So. 6th $1 with twn firxt-auarter touchdowns, LeRoy Joyner put Monroe ahead to stay Just before the half ended, and Malcolm scored twice mote on runs of 45 and 17 yards In the third period.
