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.

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."

"Gad, will he look good on my
library wall . . . nleest marlin
I've ever landed!"
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.

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 !

U.S. Oympic Hopes
Fall; Reds Invincible
CORTINA D'AMPEZZO. 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.

Bob Pettit
Jumps Into
Scoring Lead
NEW YORK (UP) Bob Pettit
ond Clyde Lovellette swapped the
National Basketball Assn. scoring
lead today for the nth time in the
last eight weks, Pet'lt coming out
with first place this time by a mar
gin of 14 points.
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.
Pettit regained a slim lead In re

doubt. 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

Lamb has been highly Impressed
with the Russians In the prewlnter

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.

Lamb observed that the Russians
have brought along their own mas

"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
