PAGE EIGHT HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 83, A1 Weiser fenefit Tbursday Welters Headline Ring Card Promoter Mack Llllard ha.s signed two new, but outstanding welterweights tor the main event of the Second Annunl Ralph Welscr Benefit boxing card this Thursday evening at the armory, as the Ilrst boxing show of the season unloids before the public, and for a very worth while cause. Dick Jones, one of the South west's fastest rising welters, tan gles with Seattle's YoYo Lewis in the 10-round main event to top a card that will be used to main tain the Welser Children's Fund, which was established last Decem ber upon the death of Ralph Wels er. The Beatty Bomber died after an armory fight with Teddy Hall of Seattle. Tre Welser Committee then staged a benefit card with all 01 (he net proceeds being set up in a trust fund for the five children ot the popular Bcatly battier. It was a tremendous success last yeai and is again expected to provide the youngsters ol in? late Welser a more pleasant liie. Euice the opening of the fund, the five child ren have received approximately 90o m help. Jones, who originally called Klamath Falls his hometown, has been setting the Southwest light circles afire with some spiendid boxing performances and a red hot record, both as an amateur and professional. The 146-pounder has won 18 of 19 pro fighls, 10 of which have come via the knock out route. The only loss suffered by Jones was on a close decision to Eddie Williams, the welter weight champion of the Southwest. Fighting out of U s same stable ns Jimmy Martinez ana Charlie Salas, the 22-ycar-old battler has been a crowd-plcater in several top ring towns including Tucson and Phoenix. Seven of Lewis' 13 bouts have been main event ap pearances. SHARP-SHOOTING The amateur record of Jones, a sharp-shooting puncher with a solid left-hook as his main weapon, is Just as Impressive as his 18 of 19 In pro ranks. Dick won 37 of 42 amateur fights before turning pro, these coming In Portland and Salem fight arenas as well as In 'Arizona action. Jones' opponent for the evening's top bout will be no new name to Pacific Northwest fight fans. YoYo Lewis Is regarded as one of the niost popular fighters ever to ap pear In Northwest rings. Three times this year, Lewis has been selected as the "Must Popular Fighter." In Spokane, Vancouver, B.C. and Tacoma, these honors were given to the 147-pound Ne gro for his stylish boxing. The record compiled by Lewis, like Jones' Is very brllilant. In cluded In the long list of glove triumphs by Lewis Is a 10-round decision over Blackle Venderveor a local favorite a short time back. Besides the main event, which may develop into the best exhibi tion or ooxing since the Jimmy Orow-Ralph Welser fight last sea son, Linaid has five other top bouts plus the evening's special, a lea tured battle between Bogglo Uul lagher and Larry Lewis, two five year olds from Chiloquin. These two 35 pounders have stolen the show in several previous meetings and will open the benellt program Thursday night. SEMI-WINDUP In the six round scml-windup, hard-hitting Donnle Pickard of Chiloquin will test the punches oa' Qeorgle Dixon of Seattle. Pickard Is rated b many as the next "big name" of local boxing talent, and his reputation will bo at stake In the "Turkey Day" bout. Dixon lost a clow decision to Ralph Welser In U53 and Is one ot Scat tie's leading preliminary battlers. Another six rounder will pit Porky Jimenez against an opponent yet to be named. Llllard said he lind ropes of obtaining a stable male of Lewis for Jimenez, who has Just recently been discharged from the Marbles. In Uie four round bouts ot the evening. Curt Stanton ol Blv will meet Louie "Corky" Gibbon ot Chil oquin and Pummie Wright ot Chilo quin has signed to face the blows of Jerry "Red" Castle, a Seattle pu. glllst. Llllard said another lour round ooui is in the making to give the light fans of the llasln a program loaded with 34 sched- uiea rounds ot excitement. Besides the stellar light program the awarding ot the Ralph Wcikim Sportsmanship Awaid will be made o some worthy person who lias oeen selected by the Welser Com mittee. The selection, which will Si' HI eral& an CLAYTON HANMON SPORTS EDITOR orf Sees Better Sports Years At Cal SAN FRANCISCO (UP) Uni versity of California athletic for tunes, at their lowest ebb In hls tory, are about to take a turn for the better, Coach Lynn (Pappy) waioori predicts. The biggest school In the West (enrollment around 20,000) has been beaten at every major sport three years due to a down cycle, says Pappy, that is ending. During the past year we've been licked at football, basket Dan, baseball and track, says Waldorf, "but I think you'll no tice an uptrend starting next year. "Only in water polo and rugby Free Throws Up Scoring Pace In NBA NEW YORK (UP) The present National Basketuall Association season promises to be the highest scoring in history, and the rise is directly traceable to free throw shooting. The NBA reported today that In 27 games played so far In th young season, teams have scored an average of 96. S points per game compared to an average of 92.6 at the same tima last year. The difference can be quickly found In the free throw department, where the average has jumped from 26.9 per game to 30.7. The scoring splurge has seen at least one team go over the 100 mark in 10 of the 27 games. Five times both teams did it, with St. Louis turning in the season high of 131 points against New York on Nov. 15. The battle for the individual scoring leadership remained vague mis weex, witn nuge Clyde Lovel lette of Minneapolis hanging onto the overall lead only because his team has played more games. Lovellcttc has tallied 178 points in nine games to lead second-plao Maurice Siokes, the Rochester rookie, wild 145 in seven. Lovellette and Stokes are fol lowed by Larry Foust of Fort Wayne with 140 points and the Philadelphia aces, Paul Arlzin and defending champion Nell Johnston, ui eacn. Hiu cn the basis of average points per game, Lovellette stands only sixth In the league. Bob Pettit of St. Louis, who has played only nve games, is nisi with 2o.O points per game, followed by Arlzin and Johnston at 23.2, Stokes at 20.7. and Foust at 20.0. Rookie Stokes hung onto the leadership in rebounds with a total of 122 to 119 for Lovellette. But Pettit again had the best per game mark with a total of 102 or 20.4 per game. Ariztn holds the lead In field goal marksmanship, sinking .485 of his shots to .409 for Ernie Bar rett of Boston. Adolph Schayes of Syracuse is tops on free throws, sinking 40 of 53 for an .808 mark to .854 for Slitter Martin of Minne apolis. Andy Phillip of Fort Wayne and Dick McQuire of New York are tied in assists with 57. Johnston has the season's single- irnnie nign ot 37 points against 8yrncu.se, Nov. 19. be kept a secret until presentation time Thursday evening, wag made with sportsmanship as the prime lacior wim athletic ability and character also playing vital rolls. An Individual trophy will be pre sented to the winner. The trophy was donated by Hal Shldler of Hal's Sport Shop. The winner will have his name engraved on the largo trophy which Is kept at the armory.

Waldorf, who announces that he will be back at the old stand coaching the California football team next fall for the 10th year, says that the freshman teams in all the major sports are better this year. "We are on our way up. We had a good frosh football team, and last year we had fine freshmen basketball and track teams; and an unbeaten freshman baseball team," says Waldorf. FAMILIAR CYCLE "With very few exceptions, you'll find that athletic superior ity goes in cycles at all schools. We had It here at Cal when we went to the Rose Bowl three years in a row when I first took over as football coach; there was a while when It was at Stanford when the Indians went to the Rose Bowl three years In a row; and then It was at Southern California. "The same thing happened in the Big Ten when I was there Minnesota, Michigan and other schools holding sway for a few years, then dropping down to the second division." University of California athletic department supports 22 sports on Its campus and the major source of revenue, of course, comes from the football team. For the first time In many years, the attendance dropped be low the 200,000 mark this year 194,000 to be exact. So It Is ob vious that the school Is going to have to put out a winning football team to support the other sports. SOME SUNSHINE But Waldorf, who Is the world's most pessimistic coach when he Is winning, from the depth of the well that saw his team win only two games this year, sees nothing except sunshine ahead. When California, was at the top of the heap, other coaches pre dicted that due to the huge enroll ment, California always would be a top gridiron power in the fu-,ure. "They've got the ball rolling at Cal now," was the quote, "and all the high school stars want to go where there Is a winner. That plus the big enrollment will make Cal a power In all major sports In the future." But the Ooldcn Bear recruiting agencies apparently slacked off and settled back with a feeling of complacency when they were at the top. "The worst Is over," beams Pappy, "and now we're on our way back to the heights." Kircher Fired As WSC Boss PULLMAN, Wash. W Alton Kircher, a "nice guy" who couldn't win, was fired as football coach at Washington State College last night after four years of trying. He had another season to go on a 12.500-a-year contract but WSC said it is buying him out and will take its time picking a successor. He had a poor 1-7-2 record this fall. Klrcher's two chief assistants, Dale Gentry and Mike Scarry, were also let out. Dan Stavely, the freshman coach, will stay on. 'I don't know what I il do." Kircher said. "I don't even know whether I'll stick with coaching any more." Even before the firing, mere was string of suggested replace ments. They ranged from Ray Hobbs coach of the unbeaten lo cal high school team, to Johnny Lujack. an assistant with the Chi cago Bears. Kircher got the Job her; In 1952 by popular demand when Forest Evashevski quit to go to Iowa. He was a man everybody liked but In four seasons he never had a win nin&r team. He came here as an assistant to Evashevski and was regarded as his chief strategist. They had a fine 7-3 record In 1951. Alone. Kircher was 4-6 for three years running, then 1-7-2. He iunked the single wing and went Into a split-T offense this sea son. It se dom worked, ine cou gars were thumped 50-12 by USC, 13-0 bv Kansas, os-0 Dy ucija, 14-7 by Oregon State, 30-0 by Col lege of Pacific. 35-0 by Oregon and 27-7 by Washington. They managed to tie San Jose and caiuornia aim beat Idaho 9-0. Alumni discontent grew weeKiy but there were few if any per sonal words against Kircher. It was a hard decision to re lease a perfect gentleman like Al Kircher," said a WSC statement on the discharge. "However, we believe circumstances dictate that we employ a new football coach ing staff." President C. uiement rrencn said the decision to relieve Kirch er was made on recommendation of Stan Bates, WSC athletic director. Kircher. a great all-around ath lete at Michigan State in his col lege days, said he has the highest regard for the Job Bates is doing 'I hope Wis is ine answer 10 the football situation at WSC," he and has confidence in the administration. Kircher was virtually "drafted" for the Job here. He had a chance to go to Iowa with Evashevski but WSC at the urging of alumni and signed a five-year contract at school officials. "I'm sorry," he said Monday night, "that things haven't worked out the way they were expected." Ironically, Klrcher's 15-year-old son, Bob, Is a tackle on the Pull man High School team which hasn't been beaten in two years. By THE ASSOCIATED TRESS FOOTBALL Oklahoma remained the nation's No. 1 college team in the weekly Associated Press poll, but Michi gan Slate ousted Maryland from second place in the rankings by a narrow margin of six points.

But two days before the tour nament he and Reggie Foster of Chevy Chase, Md., both met with success. Felton landed a blue mar lln and Foster boated a sail fish, DOG BITES REFEREE ALTON, 111. tTI Blackie is one of those dogs who can't resist a football field during the heat of battle. Ralph Paul, one of the of ficials at a Marquette-West Junior High football game at Public School Stadium, was bitten by the small dog while bending over a large heap ol young Americans to determine the location of the ball. While spectators wondered if the official weighed the feasi bility of a live-yard penalty, he contended himself with occasional ly rubbing the offended leg and eyeing the sidelines apprehensive ly between plays. Thriller Forseen By Coach ANNAPOLIS, Md. (UP) Eddie Erdelatz professed today to have no idea what to expect from either for its fifth victory In six starts team when his Navy squad guns against Army Saturday. Powerful Navy probably will go into the game a six and a half point favorite, but Erdelatz, one of the canniest coaches in the busi ness, had nothing but a clouded crystal ball before him when asked about the 56th renewal of the sew ice football classic before 102,000 at Municipal Stadium in Philadel phia. "We'll be in there working Saturday," Erdelatz said in the understatement of the week. "But," he added, "The only thing I know about it for sure is that it will be a thriller. I never heard of an Army-Navy game that wasn't." Erdelatz did concede that Navy will be at full strength although team captain and guard John Hop kins will wear a face mask to protect his injured lower left Jaw. Halfback Chet Burchett has fully recovered from an ankle injury. Erdelatz hasn't seen Army this year but he said all reports indi cated the Cadets had a "very good line, very fast, very aggressive and with good team work." The Navy coach asserted it would be a mistake to base tactics on last year "because you never know what to expect in an Army Navy game." Nonetheless, certain compari sons seem in order. Last year Navy dumped Army 27-20 chiefly by passing against a battering Army ground game. The same thing could happen this year. An air-minded Navy team head ed by the brilliant George Welsh Erdelatz calls him the best quar terback he has ever coached went to the top of the nation in passing while bowling over five opponents, losing to Notre Dame and tying Duke. Welsh broke an academy record this year with 76 of 122 passes completed for 1,143 yards. Satur day the little 164 pound-wizard will have the receivers t,o throw to. Ron Beagle, Navy All-America end, is a bearcat on offense and defense alike. So are the two Mid dles who will share duties at the other end, Earle Smith and Jim Owen. Welsh, and his backfield mates Ned Oldham, Burchett, and fullback Dick Guest, are good de fensively. Army stuck pretty much to the ground In winning five out of eight. The Cadets depended on fullback Pete Uebel pounding through the middle and end sweeps by Pete Lash, Mike Ziegler and Bobby Kyasky to ground out a rushing average of 284 yards a game.
