"This was the one I wanted to win more than any other." said the craggy-faced, 29-year-old Ba silio after his technical knockout in 1:31 of the ninth round over the cocky, 26-year-old defending cham pion in War Memorial Auditorium last night.

Even with his lopsided triumph last night. Carmen still is burning over the unanimous but contro-i versial decision which Saxton scored over him in Chicago last March 14 for the title.

A while bandage covered the left side of his mouth where nine stitches were required to sew up a wide long gash that had spurted blood during the one-sided fray. "J fought his fight not mine." the dethroned New Yorker said bitterly. "The booing of the crowd upset me. Instead of boxing him like I did the last time and like 1 planned to do again, 1 went out and slugged' with him. I wanted lo show those fans. Next time I'll fight for Johnny Saxton and win my way." ,.

"I'm not so sure they're the first team any more," Waldorf said. The third team, playing offense, punctured the varsity defense sev eral times. He also praised the third squad for its pass protec tion, under which quarterback Joe Comestible completed several ae rials. Stanford's Chuck Taylor, noted for a bold optimism, voiced un happiness over his squad's "men tal mistakes." He added, how ever, that defensive work was good In a rough hour and a hall scrimmage. massacre. Saxton had not been down, but he was heading for the canvas, so relentless was Basillo's furious assault. CAPACITY CROWD Looking perfectly conditioned at 145. Saxton was only in conten tion for the first two rounds when he surprised the near capacity crowd of 8.546 and countless tele vision viewers by meeting Basilio In m i d r I n g and exchanging . punches. He drew blood from Carmen's nose and the fans cheered the unexpected early fire works from the usually back pedalling jabber. In the third Basilio started to take his toll of the 7-5 favorite with his strength-sapping lefts and rights to the body and his switch ing Jolls to the head. In the fourth, the rout was on. Saxton began to bleed from the mouth and near the end of the round, he was stag gered by a long left and right to the jaw. The cool, poised Basilio ,'.Two more Injuries hit the In dians' casualty-riddled team. Full back Archie bchmitt twisted an ankle after scoring a 41-yard touchdown up the middle.

Neither the Tigers nor the In dians "have much of a chance to get Tebbetts, lhough,"l according to the source, because General Manager Gabe Paul of the Red legs "works together with him ex ceptionally well and wants the present set-up to continue for a long time to come." The 45-year old Tebbetts, cur rently a leading "manager of the year" candidate for the job he has done with Cincinnati this season, lias one more year to go tinder a three-year contract he signed with the Redlegs at the start of the lfi55 campaign. The Tigers and Indians are both shopping for new managers for the coming year and both "have made definite overtures in Tebbetts' di rection, ' said the same sources. Tebbetts and ex-Giant Manae- er Leo Durocher, as a matter ,of fact, have been the two most sought after pilots during the past tnree months. Even the Milwaukee Braves were interested in Tebbett's serv ices for 1957 until they signed Fred Haney for next year only last Tuesday night. When Haney succeeded Charlie Grimm as manager last June," the source revealed, "the Braves weren't at all sure that Haney would be the man for them next year. Tebbetts was their first choice if Haney had failed to make a good showing," 001 001 02 7 1' Pitlshureh 2. St. Louis 3. 001 000 01 4 0 Cincinnati (151 At home (5).

Last year, the state-championship Malin team was the county king on the gridiron, and in 1954, Malin and Chiloquin tied for the honors with the vote of coaches and principals going to Chiloquin. As the 1956 season opens, these two clubs are again ranked high on the favorite's list, but so are the other three competing teams.' Henley, several seasons back, rated as the ruler of the county wide sports program, but after out growing the "B" ranks has re mained as an independent. The same will be true this year. The Hornets, under the coaching of Al Fairchild, will be meeting such teams as Lakeview,. Illinois Valley, Eagle Point, Glendale and Brook ings in the A division, while Malin, Merrill and Chiloquin will be the "B" clubs to vie against Henley. Sacred Heart Academy for the past several years the under manned team of the county league, may be the biggest surprise of the five-team - circuit in '56. With one game already under their belts, that a 13-7 win over Medfords St. Mary's, coach Pete Budig's Trojans could be a definite threat to Matin's defending champions. Leading the way for sacred Heart's returning lettermen are quarterback Dean Michaelis and end Dick Durrell, the combination that wrecked St. Mary's last week end. Chiloquin, Merrill and Malin are all at the top of the pre-season coaches poll. Chiloquin will have eight lettermen back including backs Manny and Richard Ochoa. The big loss at Chiloquin for sophomore coach Gordon Kuist was the graduation of lineman Vic sis- son and end-fullback Dick Siemens who played in the "B" Shrine game. Merrill's new mentor Al Keck was greeted by eight returning let termen, and the line play has greatly impressed the Merrill new comer. Last spring's graduation class stripped Merrill of its lead ing gridders such as Jack Barry and Dale McCulloch, the latter also playing in last month's shrine game at Pendleton. Malin lost all but two of its start ers off the 1955 county, district backs, including Barry Billington, our best ball currier, who weigh 170 pounds each." Al Scat lie, Washington's Coach Darrell Royal discovered a new scoring threat in a BO-minute scrimmage that produced 10 touchdowns. A second string soph omore, left half Don Millich of Aberdeen, Wash., ran wild scor ing five times, including a 77 yard run and another for 66 yards through the middle.
