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

noticeable loss was fullback Jim
Bakhtiar.

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

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

had only a 20-minute warmun
session on tap.
