TUESDAY, JANUARY 24, 1956 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE NINB Rooks Nudge I(U Grapplers Hie Oregon State College Rooks had to go right down to' the wire before they were able to turn back a high-spirited Klamath Union High School wrestling team Monday night at Pelican Court, 32-30 in an excitement packed non-conference mat meet. Coach Dutch Simons' grapplers from KUHS took an early lead In their home meet against the power-packed Rook lineup, but fell to their third defeat of the year in the final bout. But the defeat was a moral victory for the White birds, as they were not given much of a chance against the torrid OSC team which included three Oregon sute high school champions and two others who received second place honors last season In the prep meet. Going into the last bout, pitting the teams heavyweights, the Pels held a one-point, 30-39, margin, but Harris Hansen, former Beav erton High School star, won 4-0 over Klamath's Pedro Colley to give the Rooks three points and a hardpressed 32-30 victory. Ken Kuniman and Jim Brown started the Klamath preppers off oi what looked to be an upset as they scored pins for the Pels in the first two matches. Then Gary Roberts battled Joe Neusch wander, 1954 state champ, to a 0-0 draw in one of the best bouts of the evening's program, as Klam ath led 12-2. Another pin by Klamath's Pete Barahtsel put the Pels up to a 17-2 lead. Then the Rooks closed the gap to a 17-13 margin on two quick pins by Johnnie Owings and Bill Warrell. Owings was a 1955 state titalist, while Warrell placed sec ond. Bill Steiner outpointed Lee Ma lick 10-8 to push the Pels back In front, 20-12, and Harold Day added another decision for the Whitebird grapplers to make the team score read 23-15 after the Rooks' Larry Wright outscored Klamath's Rich ard Berg, 3-1 in another exciting bout. Two draws followed by a deci sion by Roy Ropp shot the Pels into the lead, 30-19 as the Klam ath point production came to a sudden end. OSC's Darrell Fort scored a second round pin over Bill Badorek and Ken Nateboom registered another fall over Klam ath's Darryl Peterson In 35 sec onds of the first round to close the point gap to a 30-29 difference, set ting the stage for Hansen's win over Colley. This Friday afternoon at Pelican Court the Klamath preppers tan gle with Grants Pass in the sec ond Southern Oregon Conference mat meet of the year for the Pels. The first bout is slated for 2:45. Rory Calhoun Whips Luedee NEW YORK (UP) Trainer Charley Coldman today Jailed un beaten Rory Calhoun of White Plains, N.Y., as a "bright young prospect for the middleweight crown," after directing him to his 17th straight professional victory in a sensational TV fight at St. Nicholas Arena Monday night. Goldman, trainer of heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano, was In Calhoun's corner as the muscular 21- year-old Negro was staggered seven times but came on to win another unanimous decision over bomber Jerry Luedee of New Haven, Conn., In one of the most bruising slugfests ever staged at St. Nick's. Calhoun, who had taken a four round verdict over brown-haired, 22- year-old Luedee in a prelimi nary at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 29, 1954, had the tired Con necticut dynamiter floundering in the late rounds Monday night from left hooks and overhand rights to the head. In some of the hectic sessions, each was on "rubber legs." and it seemed that one of them must be kayoed: but neither hit the deck. Luedee's smashing straight rights to the head had Calhoun "ready to go" in the second, fourth, fifth and ninth rounds; but each time Jerry became too eager and missed the target with what should have been the finishing punches. i Calif. Skater Goes All Out For Ice Crown CORTINA, Italy (UP) The first man to break through the "sound barrier" in figure skating Is going all out to grab the 1958 Olympic title by showing the most sensational jump ever seen on an ice rink. He is Ronny Robertson, II, Long Beach, California, and the jump v.ill be a so-called "triple axel" three-and a half turns in the air during a breath-taking "atomic spin. No skater in the world has ever succeeded in performing this triple jump in competition the dream of every champion. "It took me one year of hard work to get the triple axel down pat," Robertson, last year's world championship runner-up said. "Sometimes I had more than 100 falls during my nine-hours a day practice for the triple axel. I owe much of my success to my trainer, Gus Lussi. who always gave me courage when I wanted to give up." he said. Lussi, former coach of such fa mous skaters as Barbara Ann Scott and Dick Button, described Robertson as the "most acrobatic figure skater I ever met."

Mike Garcia Accepts Cut, Inks Contract By UNITED PRESS They call Mike Garcia "the big bear" and the burly pitcher growled like a dangerous bear to day when he said, "Let's face it I had a bad year." The 32 . year - old righthander made the painful admission as he signed his Cleveland Indians con tract for 1956 for 125.000, a pay cut of about $5,000. And he also made a solemn promise that things will be different this year as the Indians try to seize the pennant from the Yankes. Garcia is the 15th Indian to sign but only the first of their "big three" pitchers Bob Lemon and Early Wynn still being outside the fold. Garcla's let-down, as much as anything else, has been blamed for the Tribe's loss of the A.L. flag last year. He won only 11 and lost 13 for his worst mark since he joined the team in 1949. BAD YEAR Hank Sauer of the Chicago Cubs is another big man who had a bad year In '55 he hit only 12 homers and had 28 runs batted in. In 1954, his record was 41 homers and 103 RBI. Sauer announced today he's going to do something about it he'll report to spring training on Feb. 20, the earliest he has ever started. ' The Cubs also announced the signing of outfielder Solly. Drake from Los Angeles and pitcher Vlto Valentinetti, who had a 9-15 mark for Charleston of the American Assn. The Cubs now have signed 28. The Chicago White Sox brought their slgnees to 24 by getting the autographs of outfielder Bob Ken nedy, a .264 hitter last year, bonus first baseman Ron Jackson and rookies Sam Esposlto and Bob Powell. But they admitted that rookie Luis Aparaclo the man they are counting on to replace the traded Chico Carrasquel at shortstop has balked at terms. The world champion Brooklyn Dodgers signed relief pitcher Ed Roebuck, who had only a 5-6 record last year but played a big part In their fast start that broke open the pennant race, plus rookie catchers Mike Napoli (.269) from Elmlra and Herb Olson (also .269) from Mobile. PURCHASED Outfielder Frankie Baumholtz, who was purchased from the Cubs on Dec. 9 for plnch-hltting duties, signed with the Philadelphia Phil lies, as did rookie outfielder Fred Van Dusen. Pitcher Bob Miller, the one-time $60,000 bonus baby who spent two years with the Detroit Tigers, was farmed out last year, and returned in time to beat Cleveland in two key games, signed with the Tigers, as did rookie Tom Sharkey (6-12) from Terre Huate. Catcher Bill Sarnl, a .255 hitter and pitcher Larry Jackson, who had a 4-2 mark, signed with the Cards. And the Yankees signed lefty pitcher Bob Wiesler, who had a 0-2 mark, plus rookie catcher Lou Berberet (.263) from Toronto and outfielder Dick Tettlebach (.309) from Denver. George Nicholson, former spar ring partner for Joe Louis, is a New York City bank guard.

Fraley -Tabulates A-A Team OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP) The mail man toted in almost as many All America ballots as he did bills to day so it seems about time to an nounce Fearless Fraley's Fantastic Five and duck for the storm cellar. Such pulsating periodicals as the Chicken Growers Guide and Hie Subway Sun are demanding swift answers. There's also one from the First National Bank (oops, that's one of the bills) and. just so I won't inadvertently scoop myself, here's my team for all and not only Sunday but the rest of the season, too: F. Si Green, Duquesne. F, Len Rosenblutb, North Caro lina. C. Bill Russell, San Francisco. Q. Robin Freeman, Ohio State. G. Darrell Floyd, Furman. Naturally, if you have managed to stagger this far, you by now will be grabbing for something to throw with one hand and writing Imple ments with the other. IJUSTICE Easterners will be streaming about the injustice of not naming Tom Helnsohn of Holy Cross or Hal Lear of Temple. The unsoothed South will be doing a galloping f r a w 1 about North Carolina State's Ron Shaclik and Vic Molo det, Kentucky's Jerry Bird and Bob Burrow. Alabama George Linn. Hot Rod Hundley of West Virginia and Louisville's Charley Tyra. Southwesterners undoubtedly will oil their six guns for Temple Tuck er of Rice. The Midwest, will throw cornballs for Jim Paxson of Day ton and Paul Judson of Illinois, wbile the effigy burners on the Coast should have a whale of a bonfire because of ignoring K. C. Jones of San Francisco, Art Bunte of Utah and Willie Naulls of UCLA. The trouble is, fellers, there are only five places. And it's sort ol like trying to put five pounds of oatmeal In a oune pound bag. YOEMAN If that sounds like an apology, it isn't. Russell seems a cinch to make just about everybody's All America team even though a lot of people insist the six foot, 10-inch defensive star leaves them "cold." It's simply that he does yeoman chores in a star-studded cast. He'll make anybody's college club. Green, although only six feet, three Inches, is another defensive star and has a 22.5 scoring aver age to boot. Try and keep him on your bench. Floyd, "only" six feet, one inch, Is the nation's leading scorer with a 33.6 average. He is a fine out side shot and also a great re bounder, Right behind him In scor ing with a 33.4 average is Free man, a young gent with a terrific jump shot who proves his worth In the tough Big Ten even though he is only five feet, 11 inches. Coach Answers 'What Happened?' PALO ALTO, Calif. (P) Howie Dallmar, Stanford basketball coach, tried to look serious as he discussed Oregon State's 69-55 up set victory over his Indians, but he couldn't keep a twinkle out of his eyes. "I was asked over and over: What happened Friday night? I made up my mind I would pop the next guy who asked. "But the first person who asked after we got In was Ron and Hap Wagner's dad. Naturally, I couldn't hit our players' father. "The next guy was the cab driv er. But I had my hands full of suitcases. "The next person was Al Masters (Stanford director of athletics). The only reason I'm not looking for a Job is that we were on the telephone. "Then my wife asked me the I question. I hit her." j And that, Dallmar laughed, de spite the fact Stanford won on !

Italy Wi High United States hopes for a strong showing in the Winter Olympics dwindled today to a point where two gold medals look good. For a time, the Yanks had hoped to win as many as four first places In the carnival opening Thursday. But the Russians have shown themselves to be Invincible in speed skating. Even the Americans admit they can't beat them. Mrs. Andrea Mead Lawrence of Par shall. Colo., who won two wom en's skiing events In the '52 games, has not rounded Into form after giving birth to her third child. And, finally, the Italians look unbeat able in the bobsleds.

The 17th exchange of the lead between the two stars resulted from Pettlt's 39-point performance for St. Louis against Syracuse on Sunday',, while Lovellette was scor ing only 15 for Minneapolis against New York. But Paul Arizin, former scoring champion from the Philadelphia Warriors, Is starting to barge into what has .been a two-man battle so far this season. Arizin actually has passed Lovellette on the basis of average points ncr game to take second place in that category be hind Pettit. Pettit leads both In total points with 942 and average with 23.6. Lovellette is second in total points with 928, third in average with 22.1. Arizin is third in total points with 879, but second in average with 22.5. Lovellette has played two games more than Pettit, three more than Arizin. Defending scoring champion Neil Johnston of Philadelphia stands fourth in both respects. He has B22 total points and a 21.1 average. Ed Macauley of Boston is filth with 769 points and 19.2.

Tenley Albright of Newton enter, Mass., regarded as a sure gold medalist In figure skating, injured her ankle. Miss Albright, however, is un der the care of her physician-father and appears to be recovering fast. Her father's latest bulletin is that she'll be all set and today she tested her ankle with no 111 elects. If Miss Albright falters Carol Hiess of Ozone Park, N.Y., could win. Hayes Allen Jenkins of Colorado Springs, Colo., Is the best men's figure skater on the scene and he should score Impressively. His younger brother David probably Is the second-best skater here. The United States won four gold medals in the 1952 games in Oslo to pile up 89' j points in the unoffi cial team score. This was second to Norway, the "home" team, which came out on top with 125'4 points. Russia did not compete in 52. If anyone beats the Italians, who know the bob run here like their own streets. It probably will be the Americans. Kenneth L. (Tug) Wilson, the American Olympic Committee president, said the United States bobs have not cut loose yet and have braked heavll" when making fast turns. In the speed skating, William Carow of Madison, Wis., was only 1.1 seconds behind Russia s Eu genly Grlshin when the latter set a 40.2 world record In the 500 meters. Uncle Sam's hockey team also Is strong and might challenge the Russians, Canadians and Czecho slovaklnns. "Ironically," said Wilson, "this is the best Winter Olympic team ever assembled. The Rus sians have come up strong, we've had our share of injuries and, of course, the Scandanavians are al ways tough In the ski events. 30 We may be in for a disappointment."

Speed Skating Coach Warns U.S. Of Russia CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy art "The United States had better wake up or the Russians are really going to take us this sum mer." So says Del Lamb of Milwaukee, coach of the United States speed skating squad, who was on two Olympio teams himself. Lamb has been highly Impressed with the Russians In the prewlnter luneups as had been Just about everyone here. "If tney can produce skaters like they brought here Including some we ve never heard of In a few years' time, they can do the same in track and field," Lamb said today. "Skating Is as difficult as sports come for training and conditioning." He said it probably was too late for the Americans to do anything about it for the summer games, scheduled for Melbourne, Australia in November, "The United States must start promoting all sports like the Rus sians do. We're going to have to get rid of guys who worry about Wes Santee (America a atar mller) getting an extra dollar. We're up against guys who don't have the same standards. Santee was in danger of suspen sion by the American AAU re cently in a squabble over expense money. KENTUCKY BLENDED WHISKEY Lamb observed that the Russians have brought along their own mas seurs, cooks and so on. "We don't have the money for that," he continued. "Our skaters don't even have the proper amount of time to train as they should. They've got Jobs to hold. The Rus sians have been out on the Ice since the last week of October.".
