FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 26. 1958 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE 3 B Today's Sport Parade Columbia, Yankees Alike - Both Triumph NEW YORK (UPD-The yacht racing buffs have adopted the old American League war cry of "Break up the Yankees" today as a result of the manner in which the Columbia is proving to be the gem of the ocean. There is much lachrymose land blubbering to leeward over the way Britain's Sceptre is being sunk. Even some of our guys seem to think it's the sporting thing, old boy, to say ain't it a shame and wouldn't it be jolly if the Redcoats could win. It wouldn't. For one thing, there have been too many sporting bundles to Britain of late for them to need British Sailors On Spot NEWPORT, R. I. (AP) - The next challenge for the America's Cup may come not from Great Britain but from Australia, Swed en or even Canada. High-placed yachtsmen on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean con ceded this today as the United States prepared to put the old sil ver cup back in her glass cage at the New York lacht Club. The first challenge in 21 years has been a dismal failure for the sca-minded British, whose bright new Sceptre has been badly beat en by defender Columbia. Charles Wainmen, member of the British syndicate which put out some $300,000 on the over-all venture, was asked if he or any of his contemporaries might start . planning another boat. "I can only speak for myself," he said. "I will not." Indications are the British have had it for a while. It's a costly undertaking and this one was enough to dis courage the hardiest of men. But the designers of Columbia and of the 12-meter boat Vim and Harold Vanderbilt s massive Ranger before that, said they wouldn t be surprised to see a challenge come from Sweden. Canada challenged twice back in 1876 and 1881 and there's talk she may try again. The country most interested in a challenger at the moment Is Australia, which already holds the Davis Cup in tennis and many of swimming and track records of the world. such sympathy. For another, to a rooter born far on the other side of those silver-plated New port tracks, let 'em come and win it. v NOTHING FOR FREE The Yankees not only refused to be broken up but they're still proceeding busily in the business of wrapping up pennant after pennant. Notre Dame and Okla homa don't give . the opposition anything for free and Rocky Mar ciano isn't going to be kicked out of the ring history books because he never lost a fight. During the Olympic Games at Helsinki, one British official com plained to an American official about the big Yankee parade and groaned over a potential British shutout: "You fellows have all the gold in the world at Fort Knox. Why don't you let us win one gold medal." To which the Yank replied: "We'll loan you all that Ken tucky stuff you need but these you have to come win." DON'T NEED SYMPATHY Don't sing me any sad songs for the Sceptre. Because if you've looked lately, you II note that in U. S.-British athletic competition we need a hot hand on the high seas to get back some of our respect. At the moment they hold three of the four trophies in competition between our two nations. They beat us in the Ryder Cup, be tween our golf pros, for the first time in 24 years; in the Wight man Cup, between our women tennis players, for the first time in 28 years, and retained the Curtis Cup, played between our women amateur golf players. The only one we have left is the amateur golfers' Walker Cup and the America's Cup. I like to see my horse win. And if it's a "boat race," so much the better. My "horse" is the Columbia and, dissatisfied with a winning streak of a mere 107 years, 1 hope we beat 'em 107 more. They don't need sympathy. Just a faster boat. PLACED ON WAIVER LIST MONTREAL (UPI) Veteran center Dave Creighton, drafted by Montreal from the New York Rangers earlier this season, has been placed on the Canadiens' waiver list. Lamar McHan of the Chicago Cardinals, threw the longest touch down pass of the. 1957 National Football League season. It went 83 yards. . ACC ll's Commence Open Bowl Policy RALEIGH, N.C. (UPD-The At-1 lantic Coast Conference embarks on an open football bowl policy this fall and perhaps by no mere coincidence prospects are for the ACC to have two or three teams of bowl caliber. Pre-season prospects shine brightest at Clemson, and Sunny .lim Tatum's manpower at the University of North Carolina is rated just a shade below that of Clemson's Frank Howard. Clem son and North Carolina meet on the season's second Saturday. Sept. 27, in what is being called the "championship game." There are few quite so reckless as to overlook the rest of the sea son which for both Clemson and North Carolina includes both the traditional "toss-'em" rival ries with South Carolina and Duke, a pair of ACC darkhorse powers, and such powers as Geor gia Tech and Notre Dame. Atlantic Coast teams will range from Los Angeles' Memorial Coli seum to West Point on the Hud ton, and the foes to be faced this fall include such titans as Auburn, Texas AftM, Navy, and Illinois. The Orange Bowl tie-up with the Big Seven has ended, but the Or ange Bowl as well as the Sugar, Gator and Cotton Bowls undoubt edly will be watching the ACC's best representatives. All except bowl-ineligible North Carolina Slate. North Carolina and North Caro lina State both whipped the ACC s Orange Bowl entry, Duke, last fall, and Duke just edged Clem son, 7-6. It was that tight. N. C. Slate won the championship but Duke was voted the "most repre sentative" and got the Orange Bowl bid, losing to Oklahoma. Marse Frank Howard, Doasung th,e finest legions in his coaching career, apparently is in the driv er's scat of the conference at Clemson this year. The biggest reason for Clenwon optimism is Harvey White. 200-pound Junior quarterback who set league rec ords in total offense and touch down passing last year. White heads a rangy, fast and deep backfield. Howard has three complete backfields and an all letterman starting squad. Team speed and offensive flash are the best in Clemson's recent history and if there is any weakness it is in lack of experience in line reserves. Tatum's Tar Heels have three top-notch quarterbacks, led by an other 1957 sophomore whii, Jack Cummings. There is more bench strength and a Talum-recruited platoon stack of halfbacks. The pay-off for Tatum's building pro gram at North Carolina, indicated by last year s victories over Mi ami, Navy and Duke, may arrive this fall. Improvement is expected by every ACC team except possibly Duke and North Carolina State. Graduation losses hit both the Blue Devils and the Wolfpack se verely. Maryland, with guard Rod Breedlove. tackle Fred Cole, and Ben Scotti and guard Tom Gun- dcrman, may field the best line in the conference. Tommy Mont has capable quarterbacks in Bob Rusevelyan and Dickie Lewis and a standout halfback in Ted Kersh- ner. Duke has Ail-American halfback candidate Wray Carlton returning, plus running mate George Dutrow and veteran quarterback Bob Brodhead. But the Duke problems he in the line losses, and in find ing a proven fullback. North Carolina State lost heav ily, including halfback stars Dick Christy and Dick Hunter, but the Wolfpack will have more depth and will be helped by the liber alized substitution rules. Wake Forest, which failed to win game last year, has better mate rial on hand including a pair of bright quarterbacking prospects ana tougner linemen. South Carolina may show vast improvement. The Gamecocks may show the conference the standout halfbacks of the year in King Dixon and Alex Hawkins and the overall prospects are better. Virginia, with a new coach, will Be building under Dick Vons first-year administration but lacks manpower. The Cavaliers' most noticeable loss was fullback Jim Bakhtiar. ssls niniA u bitp (Continued from Page I B) Just to prove that the frosh win wasn t a fluke, the very next day a calendar mixup saw the Merrill frosh-sophs show up clamoring for a little action. . . . And the "Wee Ones' obliged. Only this time it wasn't quite so easy. Still they racked up their second win in as many days . . . 12-7. Sure, they made mistakes and coach Hank Smith let them know, vociferously, when they did. Chances are they will make some more ... but it s a good bet they won't repeat the old mis takes. Hank will have his boys ready for McLaughlin and he has them convinced that it won't be a Sun day School picnic. Smith should know ... he worked at Mc Laughlin last year. Football fans can see for them selves if they will just drop by Modoc Saturday afternoon about 2 o clock. Someone's Injury-jinx ii working overtime at Henley High. What promised to be a fine season for the Hornets eould end up a bad one should the present pace continue. n the Hornet opener against Chiloquln halfback Burrell Oober came out limping with a twisted knee . . . this hurt . . . both Gober and the Hornets. Then came the AHuras tussle and Joe Tac chini, the stalwart center, sprained an ankle that may keep him out the rest of the way. . . . Same game tackle John Roberts twist ed his knee so will have to miss the Eagle Point clash. Just to make the thing a little more bind ing halfback Lawrence Lugo and front-liner Floyd Stout picked up bad legs during this week' prac tices. Outside of that everything Is fine at Henley. One bright spot on the Henley scene, however, is the surge of backing the Hornets are experienc ing from Iheir supporters. At the recent Alttiras game there were more Henley fans on hand than there were Atturas rooters . . and the game was played at Al turas. There is nothing that can help to cure a boy's Injuries quick er than to know the stands arc full of friends wanting to see him play. A quick look around the South ern Oregon Conference shows that the Pelicans aren t hurt with their 1-won, l-loss mark to date, especial ly when their loss came from the Marshfield Pirates. The Grants Pass Cavemen are also 1-1, with a win over Albany and a loss to North Bend. Medford and Central Point are boasting perfect records, each with two wins. The Central Pointers notched a 19 0 count against Cot tage Grove and piled up a 47-13 conquest of Eagle Point. Med ford, against obviously stiffer com petition, whipped North Salem 21-7 and David Douglas 19 0. Ashland lays claim to the bot tom rung with their only start re sulting in a 31-0 clobbering at the hands of Roseburg. The Grizzlies rested this past weekend but re turn to action this week when they travel to meet the Yreka Miners. Medford will sit the next one out because of a gap in their sched uling. Grants Pass and Crater also have an open date coming up he- lore too long. Klamath Fails is the only one of the five schools to fill the missing date . . . this could be important. The Cavemen meet Roseburg Fri day night while Central Point will try against Redmond. One yardstick that Pelican fans might use to measure their fav orites and how they will stack against Medford and Grants Pass when the time comes is the fact that both the Tornado and the Cavemen face Marshfield prior to meeting Klamath Union. These I d like to see. Called a dark horse before the County football season started, the Bonanza Antlers aren t so dark anymore. They pose a real threat to anyone s county football su premacy. Of course it is still ear ly .. . but coming events. . . . Performances shown by Gary Dayley, Dan Nork, Gary Atwood and Company bode woe to anyone who takes them lightly , . . it's just no way to take them. Tonight they tangle with the obviously tough Jacksonville Redskins Jacksonville and this writer's loose change is riding with them. From here it looks as if the con test for District 5B honors is be tween the Antlers and the Merrill Huskies . . . and that game I want to see. Exhibitions Don't Count Batter Up... This Is It Pro Football Teams To Open Season Sunday NEW YORK (NEA! In exot-Was Detroit and the Lions, ically named Bala Cynwyd, in the office of the commissioner of the National Football League, Joe La brum drummed a pencil on his desk and muttered, "Everybody wants to know who's gonna beat the Bears?" In Baltimore, Carroll Rosenbloom wanted to know who, if anyone, his Colts were going to beat. And there were vague rumors that Coach Weeb Ewbank was already on the griddle. In Pittsburgh, Buddy Parker al ready fired one team and was im porting another on the eve of the season. At Bear Mountain, as the Giants prepared to break camp, Jim How ell shrugged, "It doesn't count who wins the exhibitions." His Giants, of course, had won few. Organized professional football enters its 38lh season Sunday, with the 12 teams having tugged at each other since the middle of August. Just how important are the six- weeks shake-down exhibitions? "Two years ago." points out Howell, "the Philadelphia Eagles won all their pre-season games and finished last in our division (the East). The poorest club we saw in the entire exhibition season last year you know, went all the wav. "Best thing you get out of the practice games is a realislic look at your weak spots and then hope you can pick up men to plug them." During the feverish poring over last-minute waiver lists the Giants corraled a couple of offensive line men from the Packers to fill their most urgent need. New York will find out what it means when the club opens against the Chicago Cardinals in Buffalo. The Cards are the mystery team, not so much in personnel as in coaching technique, with Frank Ivy having installed a double wing T that could be the revolutionary innovation of the year. Still, it says here, the Giants will outshuf fle the Cards, 21 to 7. The other big pre-season devel opment was George Halas' re turn to active coaching and the resulting stimulus on the Chicago Bears, who went into the final week of tune-ups undefeated . The momentum should take the Bears past the Packers, weak sis ters of the West, 31 to 14. Even if they haven't found an other Otto Graham at quarterback, the Cleveland Browns are stacked. The Los Angeles Rams have al tered their attack to fit in Billy Wade's quarterback rollouts, are going in for smaller, swifter run ners and receivers. Let's stick with the staid Browns over the flashy Rams, 20 to 17. Grid Words Of Wisdom Arch Moore, Durelle Sign Title Meeting MONTREAL (AP) Ancient Archie Moore, whose age ranges in various estimates trom 41 to 49 years, will defend his light heavyweight boxing title for the eventh time on Dec. 10 against durable Y'von Durelle, the New Brunswick fisherman. Articles for the 15-round tele vised scrap were signed Thursday, Moore, who recently admitted he was 49 although the books list him as 45 and some say 41, will get S100.000. Durelle will receive guarantee of $12,000 or 20 per cent of the net gate. Archie, who last defended his title against Tony Anthony Sept. 27, 1957, checked in for the sign ing ceremonies weighing 192 pounds so he said. Others thought he weighed quite a bit more. But, as usual, Moore said he wouldn't have any trouble getting down to the 175-pound limit. Du relle, 28, the British Empire lightl heavy king, looked much more rugged and closer to fighting con dition. The fight will be televised na tionally (ABC) in the United States with the exception of border points within a 200-mile distance of Montreal, which will be blacked out.

Scribe Picks Yanks To Win Over Braves NEW YORK W - This writer expects the New York Yankees to bounce back and defeat the Mil waukee Braves in a five-game 1958 world heries. To win in the maximum seven games last year, the Braves had to get a string of shutout innings and three victories from Lew Bur dette, plus a couple of sensational catches by left fielder Wes Coving ton and a dramatic 10th inning homer by Ed Mathews in the fourth game that evened the se ries, 2-2. The Yankees were below par physically. First baseman Bill Skowron missed most of the se ries with a leg injury. He was re placed by Harry Simpson, who managed one hit in 12 times at bat and Elston Howard, a compar ative newcomer to the position. A lame shoulder kept Mickey Mantle out of one game and a leg ailment hampered him in most of the others. The Yankees are stronger "than they were a year ago. Bob Turley is a vastly improved pitcher. Rync Duren is a better reliever than either Bob Grim or Tommy Byrne. Tony Kubck has settled down nicely at shortstop after flubbing a couple of pivotal plays as a third baseman in the '57 scries. And Norm Siehern, the New York left fielder, can cover more ground than veteran Enos Slaughter, who started several games last year The Yankees will have played 155 regular season games one tie by the time the series opens in Milwaukee next Wednesday. But nowhere in the 1958 season were they called upon to play a crucial game or series in the runaway American League race. The Braves, with probably stronger club than 1957. are well equipped to give the Yanks anoth er rough time. But it's our opinion that Casey Stengel's men will be up for this one with Skowron producing most of the timely hits and Don Larson turning In Ihe best pitching. Ohio St. Kicks Off Grid Year "I expect a real tough game out there Saturday." (Coach whose team is a 35-point favorite.) we 11 be in there trying all the way and anything can happen be cause my kids will be in there trying all the way, and I'm not conceding anything because we'll be in there trying."

(Coach who will be award ed a medal the day he says it.) The Baltimore Colts impressed no one with their erratic stum bling in exhibitions. But Johnny Unitas still throws a big shotgun. and they've got the horses to run. Defending Detroit has not gotten upto-par performance from their Held general combine of T o b 1 n Roto and Bobby Layne. The Colts should edge the Li ons, 14 to 10, just as they won the '57 opener. While Pittsburgh has been en riching public travel bureaus in an elfort to uncover ball carriers land rtiay have solved the prob lem with Billy Reynolds and Tom Tracey), the San Francisco Forty Niners have solidified their posi tion as western contenders, found out that John Brodie can do the qb job as well as Y.

Impressive in quality and depth. the Washington Redskins have the balance to cause trouble any Sun day. The Eagles have helped them selves considerably with Norm Van Brocklin at the passing helm. Hill the hkins have a shade more power, will pluck the Eagles, 3S to 24. Batter up! That is. let 'er ripl COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Ohio State's Bucks, loaded with agility and golialhs, get a chance Satur day to start proving they're the best collegiate lootball team in the land. Tagged as the No. 1 team in the early Associated Press polls, be fore they had played a game, the highly-talented Ohioans go against Southern Methodist's air-minded Mustangs in the opener. A crowd of some 82,000 is assured. Don Meredith, pass-master of the Mustangs, is the big threat to burst the Buckeye bubble. The 194-pound. 6-foot-3 quarterback led the nation's passers last year as a sophomore, completing 71 of 102 aerials lor 912 yards though his team won only four of 10 games. The Bucks, under Coach Woody Hayes, have beaten the best In the country at the passing game the last seven years. Hayes' strafegy is to give em the short ones, and it has paid off. , But Meredith, unlike some of the other top tossers, can run with the ball, too. That double threat might pose . some problems for the Buckeye defenders. Ohio's last loss, 18-14, was the hands of Texas Christian in the 1957 opener. The Bucks, boasting a forward wall averaging more than 230 pounds from end to end, and an all-veteran backfield of proven ability, go into the fray as two touchdown favorites. Since last season, when thev won the Big Ten title for the third time in four years with an unblemished record, and added a hose Bowl victory for good meas ure, the Bucks have lost onlv two guards and a tackle. The replace ments are as big and fast as the departed ones. The Mustangs were due to flv into town today, and the Bucks had only a 20-minute warmun session on tap.
