Coos Bay Times, Nov. 29, 1956 PAGE 11 ri Jenkins Races To 400 Meters Win, Campbell Leading Olympic Decathlon 'Eastern Money' Lends Support For Patterson vast Melbourne cricket grounds as they added 12 points to lead Russia in the unofficial team race, 3i8-214. Campbell Dominates Decathlon Campbell, a husky 22-year old sailor, and world record-holder Rafer Johnson of Kingsburg, dominated the first five events-of the day-long decathlon grind. Campbell wound up the day with 4,564 points and Johnson was second with 4,367 after competition in the 100-meter dash, broad jump, shot put, high jump and 400 meters. Campbell finished first in the 100, shot, and 400 and was second in the two jumps.

Jenkins, 22-year old student at Villanova, won his gold medal the hard way with a tremendous surge in the stretch. Running third with his long stride and flawless form, he suddenly blasted around world record holder Lou Jones of New Rochelle, N.J., who had led from the start, and then caught Russia's Aradalian Ignatiev. As Charlie swept over the finish line in a comparatively slow 46.7, By LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Sports Editor MELBOURNE (UP)- Charley Jenkins of Cambridge, roared from behind today and won the 19th Olympic gold medal for the U.S. with an upset victory in the 400-meter run while other Americans advanced impressively in basketball and the decathlon.

Milt Campbell of Plainfield, N.J., second in the last Olympics, piled up a 197-point lead after five events of the gruelling decathlon and the U.S. whipped Russia in basketball, 85-55. In the only other track championship up for decision, be-spec-tacled Chris Brasher of Great Britain finally was awarded the 3.000-meter steeplechase championship in the record time of 8 minutes, 41.2 seconds after first being disqualified for interference and then reinstated hours later by a special protest jury. Except for the excitement caused by the protest in the steeplechase, the Americans had the show mostly to themselves in the INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE High series Otis West (J Tihe) 172-186-211569, Bus Wit-tick (C.B.

Wednesday at least four hours before announcement that Mrs.

DoL ree Knapp, Shaker Heights, Ohio, and daughter Barbara, 12, had filed three suits against Moore federal court for alleged breach of promise, assault and rape. Damages totalling $750,000 were asked. And nothing occurred in 39-year-ola Archies final two rounds of sparring at the Midwest Gymnasium to cause loss of confidence in the light heavyweight champions condition. Patterson did in boxing Wednesday. He tapered off with seven rounds of gymnasim exercises.

Moreover, a United Press poll Of 40 sports writers on the scene today favored Moore 25-15. Most of the Moore pickers predicted a knockout victory. Meanwhile, the brisk sale of tickets made promoter Jim Norris confident the bout would draw more than 18.000 fans and approximately $300,000. He said the advance sale this morning had reached $172,000. And it should be about $210,000 by Friday noon.

A heavy late sale is expected at the stadium as usual for big fights Friday evening and night. Although there will be a TV blackout for a 150-mile radius in the Chicago area, the TV radio package pays Norris and his International Boxing Club $200,000. Moore and Patterson will receive 30 per cent each from all net receipts, probably about $150,000 each. Such a purse would be a long throw, indeed from the $170 Moore received in his only previous Chicago appearance at Mari-' gold Garden, many years ago.

Witte Named United Press All-American By NORMAN MILLER United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP) Center Jerry Tubbs of Oklahoma, guard Jim Parker of Ohio State and end Pon Kramer of Michigan stole the glamor from the backs today and led the nation-wide voting for the lq56 United Press All-America football team. The dream team, selected in a poll of 251 sports writers and radio and television broadcasters from coast-to- coast, was comprised of: Ends: Kramer and Joe Walton of Pittsburgh.

Tackles: John Witte of Oregon State and Lou Michaels of Kentucky. Guards: Parker and Bill Glass of Baylor. Center: Tubbs. Backs: Tommy McDonald of Oklahoma, Johnny Majors of Tennessee, Paul Hornung of Notre Dame and Jimmy Brown of Syracuse. The Midwest thus placed three players on the honor the Midlands, South and East two each, and the Pacific Coast and Southwest one each.

Kramer and Hornung are the only repeaters from last years mythical eleven. Michaels is the lone junior in the group, all others are seniors. Tubbs, the superb 205-pound cocaptain, linebacker and blocker of the top-rated Sooners, was made a first-team selection of 87 per cent of the participants in the poll. Kramer and Parker each was picked for the first team by 81 per cent of the voeters. So outstanding is this group of collegians that six of the 10 players eligible for the National Football League draft last Monday were made the number one choice of the pro teams, while another was a second pick.

NEW YORK (UP) One player from Oregon and three from Oregon State received honorable mention on the 1956 United Press All-American football team announced today, in addition to the first team selection of John Witte at tackle. Phil McHugh, Oregon's senior end, was the lone Webfoot to crack the honorable mention list. Three Oregon State backfieid men, headed by halfback Earnel Durden, were named. The others were Joe Francis and Paul Lowe. Durden was among the 10 leaders in the honorable mention list which placed him among the top 22 backs in the United States.

Karl Haas of Germany nosed out the Russian for second place. Zoit-to Hellstcn of Finland passed the winded and cantering Jones, who finished fifth with Malcolm Spence of South Africa sixth. Dispute Develops A fierce dispute developed when Brasher was disqualified for bumping Ernst Larsen of Norway on the fourth jump from the finish. The plucky Briton finished 20 yards ahead of the field in 8:41.2, shattering the record of 8:45.4 set four years ago by Horace Ashen-frter of the U.S. But the judges ruled he had bumped Larsen and the crown was awarded first to the second-place man, world record holder Sandor Rozsnyoi of Hungary.

Brasher Appealed to the protest jury and hours later his gold nedal was restored. The Hungarian was dropped back to second place and Larsen third, exactly as they had finished in the race. Charley Jones of Boystown, ran well through the first five of the 7 Vs laps but faded far back under the closing pressure. Campbell ran the 100 meters in 10.8 seconds for a lead in the first decathlon event and never was headed the rest of the day. Johnson was second in the 100 with 10.9 but outjumped Campbell by a half inch in the broad jump with a distance of 24 feet, 1 inch.

Richards Far Back Milt led the shot put at 48 feet, five inches and Johnson was third inches back. Campbell was second to Johnson in the high jump but led the 400 meters with a time of 48 8 seconds while Johnson was second in his heat in 49.3. Third place in the decathlon standings went to Martin Lauer of Germany with 4,064, putting him 500 points back of Campbell. Bob Richards of Laverne, the pole vault champion, was far down the list of 15 competitors with 3,311 points. Four four-minute milers qualified for Saturdays final though none of them won their heats, preferring to coast.

The noted barrier-crashers who made it were John Landy of Australia, Brian Hewson of Great Britain, Gunnar' Nielsen of Denmark and Laszlo Tabori of Hungary. Merv Lincoln of Australia ran the fastest heat in 3 45.4, just two-tenths of a second off the Olympic record, with Ron Delaney of Ireland, another Villanova student, qualifying as third man. Lack Of Size, Veterans Kurts Oregon Cage Club By JACK CUDDY United Press Sports Writer CHICAGO (UP) Unexpectedly heavy support for Floyd Patterson Today indicated the Brooklyn youngster would go into the ring Friday night a "switch favorite to beat ancient Archie Moore for the vacant world heavyweight crcwn at Chicago Stadium. Surprised bookies explained that a flood of Eastern money had hammered down Wednesday's 8-5, favoring Moore, to even money. But they had no explanation for the cause of the Eastern splurge.

The Patterson boom started Army-Navy Tilt Saturday PHILADELPHIA (UP) Philadelphia dusted off its welcome mat today for Army and Navy, now deploying in force for their annual football classic of rancor in this city of brotherly love Saturday. The service teams will arrive here Friday for their 57th meeting in Municipal Stadium before a crowd of liberally sprinkled with braid and brass. Navy has a 29 to 23 edge in victories. There have been four ties. The Midshipmen from Annapolis 14-6 upset victims last year, are 2V4 point favorites to give Coach Eddie Erdelatz his fifth triumph in seven clashes with the Black Knights of the Hudson, The early odds-makers apparently like Navy because of its 6-1-1 log this season, compared to Army's record of five successes, with losses to Pittsburgh, Michigan and Syracuse.

Erdeiatz doesn relish me idea of being kissed a winner in advance of this most unpiedic-table of games, often decided by fire and fervor. But he does admit his Middies developed season-long and finished No. 2 nationally in rushing defense. Shanley Second EUGENE (UP) Letters were awarded to 29 members of the University of Oregon football team yesterday.

Bdwy. Coos Bay This is the second of a series on West Coast college basketball prospects. By HOWARD APPLEGATE United Press Sports Writer EUGENE, Ore, (UP)-A lack of size and experience promise a rugged basketball season for the University of Oregon this winter where Steve Belko takes over as coach after a highly successful career at Idaho State. Oregon has seven lettermen back from last years club which finished in Sixth place in the Pacific Coast Conference. But only two of these were starters.

The two biggest men on the squad are Hal Duffy, a 6-6 reserve center last season, and Eli Morgan, same height, who saw no action at all. Both have been tabbed as tentative starters, however. Free Shooting Prospect Belko, whose Idaho State teams featured a free shooting game said he believed Oregon would improve as the season goes along and might have some surprises in store for the favored clubs. He replaced Bill Borcher as head master of the Webfoots. Top scoring prospect for the Webfoots is Charlie Franklin, a 6-3 forward from Los Angeles who came along fast last season.

But Franklin has been sidelined 9 4. Mb the KENTUCKY BOURBON jgremmas? 'CTUSSff i X. 1 rv WATIRfltl AND FRAZIER DISTILLERY COMPANY, IAI0ST0WN, KENTUCKY with "Firsts by a lack of classroom hours and is not expected to rejoin the team until early december. Another probable starter is Phil McHugh, the fine football end who is a two year letterman guard. McHugh just finished the football season and he may be lost to the basketball squad for a longer time should he be chosen to play on the West Shrine footbaii team.

Battling Guards Battling for the other starting guard position are four players with Wimp Hasting, a 5-10 letter-man, or Dick Valentine, a 6-1 transfer from Santa Maria, looking best in early drills. Bud Kuykendall, the only member of the 1955-56 Oregon freshman team on the varsity, and Johnny Lundell, a letterman last year, are the other guards. The second set of forwards probably will be Ed Bingham, a 6-2 veteran of two seasons, and Bill Moore, a 6-4 letterman who has been sidelined with a cracked ankle. The rest of the squad is untested. Henry Ronquillo, transfer from East Los Angeles City College, is 6-3 and may help out up front.

Oregon opens its conference sea son Jan. 11-12 at California. Yanks Clout Reds 85-55 By DAVE BERONIO United Press Sports Writer hfELBOURNE (UP)- Big BUI Russell led the United States Olympic basketball team to a surprisingly easy 85-55 victory over Russia today. But the one-sided score did not lull Coach Gerald Tucker into believing the Soviets aie pushovers. The Russians, who already had qualified for the final four-nation round-robm pool along with the Americans, used second-stringers most of the way in losing to the Yanks.

Tucker interpreted the maneuver as a Soviet attempt to jockey for position in the final round-robin which starts Friday. We did not expect them to go all out against us today because we figured they were playing for a position in the ladders so that they could get back at us in the final, Tucker explained after the game. In the Olympic pool system, the two top teams in each semifinal group qualify for the tournament final. The Russians setback pitted them against weaker opponents in the opening games of the final round-robin, setting up a last-day championship showdown against the U. S.

Sixth Straight This was the sixth straight victory for the Americans, although the point-total matched their lowest thus far. The defeat was Russias second in six games, the first having come against France in the preliminary round-robin. Tucker expressed objection to the Olympic pool system which allows a defeated team to remain in the running for the championship. Its a poor tournament that can allow a team to lose two games and still get to the final with a chance at the championship, Tucker said. Its possible for us and other finalists to drop only one game and thus lose the title.

Off Target The American team was off in its shooting during the first half of the game against the Soviets. But Russell and K. C. Jones, All-America teammates at San Francisco, led a powerful spurt early in the second half to break open the game. After a first-half struggle in which the Yanks could manage only a 39-32 lead, Jones hit on his first three jimp shot attempts in the second half to set the rout in motion.

Russell contributed 10 of fcis 20 points during the scoring spree which widened the V. S. lead to 63-39 within a few minutes of play. From there, it was a romp. Bob Jeangerard.
