HERAI.n AND NEWS. Klamath Falls. Ore. Tticsdiiv, OHolir-r 20, PAGE NINE White Sox Second Sacker Leads AP 1959 All - Star Team Voting Senators To Stay This Year WASHINGTON (AP) The Washington Senators won't move to Minneapolis this year. Club owner Calvin Griffith an nounced Monday night his deci sion to remain in the capital where the Senators have been since 1901. His reason: He found out that some American League club own ers refused to go along with the move. It would only take three no votes to blackball the transfer. Griffith did a tightrope act last vear too about moving to Min neapolis. The Minnesota city has been trying to attract the Senators (or several years, and has offered sizable guarantees. Griffith said he agreed with his advisors that the latest Minnea oolis offer "is (or the best inter ests of all stockholders" of the club. Thus he seemed to be leav ing the door open for another try next year to shift the franchise Minneapolis, Griffith said, of fered a minimum net profit of $430,000 a year for five years, a total of $2,150,000. The last-place Senators drew 615,000 fans here this year. Griffith said the club lost money. Griffith had Lawyer C. Leo De Orsey review the Minneapolis of fer. DeOrsey s recommendation was to either sell the club or, if he intended to remain in base ball, accept the Minneapolis bid with certain amendments. Griffith said in a statement: "1 My stock is not for sale. 2. have every intention to remain in baseball." He is the majority stockholder. DeOrsey himself re portedly wanted to buy the stock if Griffith sold out. WAYNE SCOTT, Sports Editor Bandits Prevail LSU Tigers Maintain Top Collegiate Rank By THE ASSOCIATED PHESS Powerful Louisiana State held its so far unshakable position atop the nation's college football teams today for the 14th consecutive week. The Bengals from the Bayou compiled a whopping 1,238 votes from the sports writers and sports- casters voting in the weekly As sociated Press poll. LSU has been in first place since early last season. Coach Paul Dictzel's club drew 68 of the 144 first place votes Webfoots Seeking Bowl Bid Bobby Neill 3-1 Underdog LONDON (AP) Bobby Neill has fought against long odds ever since he was left crippled and un conscious In a road crash nine years ago. So the news that he's 'a 3-1 un derdog in tonight's non title fight against world featherweight champion Davey Moore at Wemb ley Stadium doesn't perturb him one bit. Neill steps into the ring for the 10 - rounder as British featherweight champion. "Doctors told me I would never fight again after that crash in 1950," the quiet Scott said. "I lay in a plaster cast for 18 months, "But I recovered and fought again." Neill, 26, boxing with one leg shorter than the other by about three quarters of an inch because of an accident, is a hard hitter who tries to soften his opponent with two-fisted punching. He's won 26 of his 29 fights. Moore, from Springfield, Ohio, ml his manager, Willie Ketchum, have promised Neill a crack at the title if the Scotsman pulls off an upset. EUGENE (AP) Unbeaten Oregon, ranked No. 11 in this week's Associated Press poll hopes to advance farther Saturday toward its second Rose Bowl jour ney in three years. But Oregon and its veteran coach, Lcn Casanova, are prepar ing for what they believe will be their toughest foe yet this year. That is Washington, which was undefeated until it lost in the clos ing minutes to fifth-ranked South em California, 22-15, last week end. "What worries me," said Casa nova, "is their depth and size, two things we don't have. Our major problem, in addition to the first two, is keeping our offense moving against the strongest defense we'll see all season." There's something other than the physical problem, too. Oregon has managed to defeat Washing ton only three times in the past 12 years. Even its 1957 Rose Bowl team lost to the Huskies, a lowly club that season. Oregon received its high na tional ranking after ending Air Force's unbeaten 14-game record with a 20-3 victory last Saturday. Air Force coach Ben Martin went back to Colorado talking sadly about his team's inability to cope with Oregon s backfield speed and versatility. He had particular praise for Dave Grosz, 6-2, 196-pound quar terback who is as dangerous a runner as a passer. Grosz, no fancy runner, sur- prised Air Force with a 63-yard scamper on a quick opener. Only a desperation tackle kept him from going all the way. He also completed a 50-yard scoring pass. almost as many as the other schools combined. The points are totalled on the basis of 10 for first place, 9 'for second and so on down the line Louisiana State barely beat Kentucky, 9-0. last Saturday, but the voters still gave the Tigers a comfortable margin over second place Northwestern, which col lected 1.171 points. The Wildcats turned back Mich igan, 20-7, last Saturday, ihey managed 23 first place votes in holding down their second place spot. Texas completed the big three the same order as a week ago by drawing 1.010 points. The Longhorns, who edged Arkansas 13-12, in their last effort, were the only other team to crack the 1,000 mark. Rounding out the top 10 were Mississippi, Southern California Syracuse. Auburn. Penn State Georgia Tech and Arkansas in that order.

After crushing Klamath Falls 44-7 over the weekend, Mcdford picked up additional strength from the 14 sports reporters and sports casters participating in the sea son's sixth poll. Medford accumulated 13 first place votes, and a point total of 139. Last week, Mcdford had a bulge of 12 points over second-place Jefferson of Portland. Jefferson today was second again, but further back, with 120 points. Jefferson got the other first-Dlace vote after another victory, 28-7 over Benson, in Port land League clay. There was new third-place team today Pendleton. The East ern Oregon squad got 107 points and swapped places with Marsh field, third last week, but in fourth today with 94 points. Like Medford and Jefferson Pendleton is undefeated after six games this season. Pendleton's latest triumph: 20-7 over Red mond. Marshfield ran its season record to 5-1 over the weekend, blanking Cottage Grove 44-0. Another team with perfect record, Lincoln of Portland, held down Its No. S spot in the poll fler turning back Cleveland 19-S, North Salem followed in the No, 6 spot, which represented a con siderable jump from the No. 9 ranking the Salem team had last week. North Salem got its boost after beating Roseburg 25-7. Last week's sixth-ranked team Beaverton, sank to eighth alter being tied 7-7 by Central Catholic St. Helens also rose a notch following its 32-13 iriumph over Newbcrg, and replaced South Eu gene in seventh place. South Eu gene, despite a 7-0 win over Springfield, dropped out of the top 10. The first new face was North Bend, in ninth following a 39-12 triumph over North Eugene. South Salem also made the top ten taking 10th place after drubbing Lebanon 45-10. Last week's 10th place team was Grants Pass, which dropped out of sight this week after being downed by Ashland 7-0.

Oddly enough, no member of the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers was chosen to either the first or second teams. The Na tional League, however, dominat ed the first team with six players as compared to four American leaguers. The remainder of the team in cluded first baseman Orlando Ce- peda of San Francisco, third base man Eddie Mathews of Milwau kee, outfielder At Kaline of the Detroit Tigers and left - handed pitcher Johnny Antonelli of San Francisco. Aaron was the second highest vote-getter with 163 followed by Wynn with 125. Then came Math ews with 119, Mays 118. Lollar 112. Banks, 88. Antonelli 86 and Cepe da and Kaline 72 each. The balloting for shortstop pro duced the closest race. Banks drew three more votes than Luis Aparicio of the White Sox, who polled 85. The most one-sided voting was for second base. Johnny Temple of the Cincinnati Reds was named on four ballots and trailed Fox by 161. Those besides Aparicio and Temple selected to the second team were: First base Frank Robinson, Reds (38); third base- Ken Boyer, Cardinals (24 ; out field Harvey Kuenn, Tigers (44), Rocky Colavito, Indians (40: and Vada Pinson, Reds '12) and Jim Landis, White Sox (12); catcher Del Crandall, Braves (28); left-handed pitcher War ren Spahn, Braves (78) and right- handed pitcher Sam Jones, Giants (28). By OSCAR KRALEY NEW YORK (UPD Syracuse is out today to ride a nickname up the gridiron glory road in the manner successful from the days of the "Four Horsemen" to the "Chinese Bandits." There is a theory that the modern college athlete is a blase young man who refuses to be driven to inspired heights hy the "corny" mclodramatics of the "pep talk." Yet, somehow, an appealing nickname gets them to "put out" on their own. The "Four Horsemen" of No tre Dame are even greater in memory, instead of remembered merely as another fine Irish team, because of the tag which the late Grantland Rice hung on them. And down at LSU, Paul Dietzel transformed an ordinary defensive unit into a battling band which fought with the fcroc ity of their namesakes by label ing them the "Chinese Bandits. The "Sizeable Seven" Maybe the designation isn't as phonetic or colorful, but Syra cuse is shooting for the football heights with a massive and mus cular line which has become known as the "Sizeable Seven." They are sizeable, averaging 6 feet, 3 inches and 216 pounds an average dissipated considcra bly by one "midget" of a mere 191 pounds. But through the tackle - to tackle middle the weights read like this: 228 , 202, 230, 230 and 226. CHICAGO i.Pi The National Football League is so eager to ex pand by 1!)W) that It will even change its by-laws to suit the pur pose. George Halas, owner-coach ol the Chicago Bears and chairman of the NFL expansion committee. Monday announced plans to boost the league from 12 to 14 teams by next fall. 'We know we can't get a unani mous vote to expand in our Jan uary meeting." said Halas. Therefore, we will change the by-laws that stipulate this and we know we can get the 10 required votes to do this." Holding back unanimous approv al for expansion is George Pres ton Marshall, owner of the Wash ington Redskins. Marshall said in Washington "expansion is imprac tical, hasty, and definitely would hurt college football." Halas said that he and Acting Commissioner Austin H. Gunsel held separate polls and learned that 11 of 12 owners are in favor of immediate expansion. Halas said the owners also favored con sideling expansion to 16 teams by 1961 or l'J62. Dallas and Houston arc the cit ies being wooed. Houston, how ever, must come up with a new stadium. If not, the franchise will go elsewhere, probably to Min-ncapolis-St, Paul. Halas said the plans lor expan sion are "a culmination of five years of planning." "Our intent, said Halas, "was to expand when competition among our clubs began to equal ize itself on an extremely high level. We now have reached that plaleau. "Conditions for explanation never will be more ideal." the pro foot- Arch Moore, Olson Slated sA. FRANCISCO (AP) - Bobo Olson, 31 and a light heavyweight now, wants anrthe: crack at Archie Moore's world title. Billy Newman, Olson's manager, says the two veterans will meet in a title bout at the Cow Palace here in January. Newman says he'll ask the Cali fornia Athletic Commission to sanction the fight when the com mission meets in San Francisco Oct. 28. When Olson, then world middle weight champ, met Moore in New York In 1955, Archie won by knockout in three rounds. Moore, whose age is somewhere between 42 and 48, holds the all- time record for kayos with 128. Olson, on the comeback trail for the second time, has won five in a row. Four were knockouts over unranked opponents. The other was a close decision over Rory Calhoun. Hart KO'd In Ninth By Scott PHILADELPHIA (A) - Char ley Scott, a johnny-come-lately to welterweight ranking, is ready for champion Don Jordan, but the big Question is whether Jordan is ready for Scott. The 23-year-old Scott, who was ready to give up boxing a year or so ago. earned a shot at the title here Monday night with a techni cal knockout victory over Garnet 'Sugar) Hart. Scott got the job done in 28 seconds of the ninth round ol a scneouiea iz ruunuei. Promoter Herman Taylor twice has telegraphed a $75,000 offer to I Don Ncsseth, manager of Jordan. He has yet to get an answer. Al Klein, of the Pennsylvania Stale Athletic Commission, says he'll nlead Scott's case before a Nov. 7 meeting of the National Boxing Association's executive committee. The battle at Convention Hall here Monday night was sensation al to say the least. The two bitter North Philadelphia riv als slammed each other with every punch in the book, a disappointing crowd of 4,930 a gross gale ol $23,340 screamed with delight from the opening bell. Techmen Warned By Coach "We're all happy about beating SOC and we're all really anxious for the OCE game but let's not forget that we've got a big one coming up this weekend and we've gul to get by them first," said Oregon Tech grid coach Rex Hun saker to an exuberant group of Owl Hoots that met Monday night. Hunsaker was referring to the McClellan Air Force "Jets," a hef ty service eleven that comes to town Saturday night boasting a 5- won, 1-loss record to date. The Jets and the Owls tangle on Mo doc Field Saturday night in a non- conference football game. Despite the note of warning, the "Hoots" welcomed warmly a quar tet of Owl gridders honored as guests for the dinner. Quarterback Roy Johnson, end Allan Leach, linebacker Earl Kesslcr and defen sh e end Norm Hooper were intro duced and gave brief talks. The players echoed Hooper's words, "This OCE has got to go down." Hunsaker complimented his as sistants, George Miller and Jim Cordial for the fine job they have done with the Owls. Miller was especially praised for the manner in which he solved the Red Raider offense last week, and was cred ited both by coaches and players for the Owl win. Owl Hoot President Eslin Kigcr noted that in the future an at tempt would be made to scat all Owl rooters in one section at all games away from home. Hunsaker summed up the af fair by saying of the coming OCE clash, "Don't sell McArlhur 'OCE coach) short. He's the only man in the conference that can lose six games in a season and still be pointing for, one namely us. But before we get to OCE we have to beat this McClellan bunch and that isn't going to be easy." hall pioneer continued, "every team in the league is strong. There now is a sutficient backlog of experienced players available for the team in the new franchise city." Halas went so far as to Intro duce the prospective owners of the proposed Dallas franchise at his press conference Monday. They are oilman Clint Murchison Jr. and attorney Bedford Wynne. Hulas also revealed the man he hind Houston interests is Craig Cullman who deals in oil invest ments. Murchison said he felt Dallas is ready for pro football after hav ing had years of it on television. In 1952, the Dallas Tcxans oper ated for one year and folded after losing something like $200,000. The NFL's plan to move im mediately into Dallas and Houston clash with those of the American Football League which plans to begin operations next year with the two Texas cities as key bases. Lamar Hunt, Dallas oilman who is organizing the new league, said the NFL's plans do not "chango our plans in the least." In a report from Dallas, Hunt said "the NFL is making a seri ous mistake in bringing a club hero the competition is likely to cause both to lose money whereas one club here could operate profit ably." Hunt' called the NKL's proposed move "sabotage."
