Syracuse Cagers
Still Undefeated
NEW YORK, Dec. 22 (Fl
it would be nice if Syracuse's
basketball team went through Its
25-game schedule undefeated this
season.
It would be a nice going away
present for Lew Andrea who
plans to step down as Syracuse
basketball coach after this cam
paign. Lew, who started coach
ing the Orange quintet 25 years
ago, will continue at Syracuse as
director of athletics.
It probably is too much to ex
pect the orange to go unbeaten,
but so far they have played and
won six games and there's no law
against hoping.
Syracuse first dumped Toron
to, 79-45, then the Quantico (Va)
Marines, 84-48, and followed by
whipping Columbia, 60-48, Rut
gers, 72-53, Princeton, 80-48, and
last night, Pennsylvania, 91-65.
Kentucky, the defending NCAA
champion, bounced back from its
defeat at the hands of St. Johns
(BKN) recently, to nose out De
paul, 49-47. A free throw In the I
closing seconds by sophomore
Skippy Whltaker of Sarasota,
Fla. provided the winning mar
gin although Garland f ownes
added another free throw a few
gecpnds later.

agreed that many good prospects
are turning out for the first time
and with 100-odd kids to choose
from, the Roseburg team should
develop Into a strong combina
tion that will give other schools
some real competition.
Sherwood Indicated, however,
that schools like Grants Pass,
Springfield and Klamath Falls
are strong wrestling centers and
Roseburg wins here would be
real upsets.
lirnwn. on the other hand, is
looking forward to opposing the
highly touted sprlngnem team,
which severely defeated the In
dians In boxing at Springfield,
but in a return match at Rose
burg Junior high, the Indians -nd
Papooses came within one point
of being the winners.
"Fans will recall," Brown Bald,
"that the score was kept pretty
even until the final bout, when
Dick Boncbrake lost out on points
to a heavier and more ex
perienced boxer."
Outfielder Says
Bonus Mistake
DETROIT, Dec. 22-P) In his
swan song an a Detroit Tiger out
fielder Dick Wakefield says his
first mlstuke was in accepting -a
$51,000 bonus.
But "mistake or no mistake I
needed it," Wakefield declared in
an open letter yesterday.
The onetime Tiger prodigy was
traded to the New York Yankees
Saturday for flr3t baseman Dick
Kryhoskl. -
Wakefield, signed by the Tigers
In 1941, went big for a time but
slumped ever since.
Dick, who has resorted to the
open letter tactic before, yester
day wrote in a farewell letter to
the press and fans that he had
only himself to blame. He said:
"I know you were all with me
once upon a time and that many
of you are still with me. My mis
takes have helped cause many of
you to desert me. , .
"This I must blame upon my
self; explanation of the deeper
reason for our breakup Is a mat
ter far beyond my capacity to
even attempt to clarify. . .
Wakefield didn't explain why
he thought It was a mistake for
him to have accepted the $51,000
bonus. The Tigers paid it to him
tor his contract signature alter
he had starred as a ball player
at the University of Michigan.

Mel Krause
Sparks Ducks
To
Victory
Stanford Loses Tilt
To Oregon, 58 To 51
EUGENE, Dec. 22 (JF For
ward Will Urban and guard Mel
Krause sparked Oregon to a 58
to 51 victory over Stanford last
night. The win split the basket
ball series at one game apiece.
Oregon broke away irom a tie
soon after the second half open
ed, widened the gap to 11 points,
50-39, and was never In danger
after that point.
Urban fired six field goals and
one free throw for 13 points.
Krause had 12 points.
The Stanford Indians started
the scoring but Lynn Hamilton's
goal put Oregon in front at 10-9
and Stanford tied three times in
that first half before Jim Ram
stead recouped the edge, 24-22,
for Stanford. But reserve guard
Jack Keller quickly deadlocked
the count again and they went
into the halftime in another tie,
26-aIl.
The Webfoots boomed out front
in the second half after guard
Ken Hunt broke a 28-all tie.
BASEBALL
Rulings Make
Infield Safer
Bv JACK HAND
NEW YORK, Dec. 22 UP)
Life will be safer for Inflelders
in 1950 if the new baseball rules
are enforced.
The rules committee officially
adopted the new code last night
after nine months of strenuous
effort. The rough stuff around
second base came In lor plenty
of attention.
"Interference" by a base run
ner was Interpreted in simple,
direct terms that place a heavy
burden on the umpire. The ump
always had to call interference,
but now his attention is directed
to the rule in specific wordage.
"A batter is out when a pre
ceding runner shall, in the
Judgment of the umpire, inter
fere with an inflelder," the rule
will read.
That's about the same as in,
the past. However, a new inter
pretative paragraph has been
added. It goes like this:
New Interpretation
"The objective of this rule Is to
penalize the offensive team for
deliberate, unwarranted and un
sportsmanlike action by a runner
in leaving the baseline for the
obvious purpose of crashing the
pivot man on a double play rath
er than trying to reach his base."
snortsiops and second Dasemen
who have been hurtled through
space by football-minded runners
probably will get some relief. The
"rolling block came in for some
hot criticism last summer when
the New York Yankees and Bos
ton Red Sox took turns bowling
over infielders.
The Inflelder, too, was warn
ed against roughness. When an
Inflelder who does not have the
ball "obstructs" a runner, the
umpire can determine the pen
alty.
For instance, If a batter hits a
ball against the fence that the
umpire thinks was long enough
for a triple, he can award the
batter throe bases if he is "ob
structed" at first by a shove, 'or
trip.
9-Month Job
The committee has been work
ing on the Job for nine months,
trying to reduce some of the gob
bledegook of the old rules to plain
English. It was a tough Job.
Other changes Included: The
catchers' box was reduced from
10 feet to eight feet directly be
hind the plate and the coaching
box was extended Irom 15 feet
to 20 feet.

Weaver Favored In Friday
Night Six-Man Mat Battle
Buck Weaver, the former Uni
versity of Indiana football and
wrestling star, has been estab
lished as the favorite in Friday
night's six-man "Battle Royal" at
the Roseburg armory. The week
ly mat show has been moved up
to Friday to prevent a conflict
with Christmas Eve.
Weaver is the favorite despite
his loss to Jack O'Reilly In a
coast light heavyweight title
match at Pendleton recently. But
the other five grapplers will also
be eying that $200 Christmas
prize Matchmaker Elton Owen is
offering the winner.
Paavo Katonen, the squat Fin
nish mat-master, will likely get
second billing because of his
many stirring performances In
the local ring. He is ' a rugged
workman who Is capable of ab
sorbing terrific punishment. Mike
Nazarian, the villainous Armenian
from Brooklyn, Is the only out-and-out
meanie and his unethical
tactics may go a long way in
gaining the coveted pot of gold.
Jack Kiser, the veteran Port
lander who at one time was the
youngest holder of the coast light
heavyweight title, will be one of
the most popular entrants. His
spectacular style of wrestling may
cause his defeat. There are two
other clean, scientific grapplers
Leo Wallick and Gordon Hessell.
Wallick, who specializes In the
piledriver, is a Denver product
who rates as one of the best In
the Rocky Mountain area. Hes
sell, who hails from Albuquerque,
N. M., may hold the key to vic
tory with his dreaded "trigger"
hold.
First four men eliminated will
return for one-fall preliminary
tilts, and the finalists clash in a
three-fail, 30-mlnute engagement.
The show gets under way at
8:30 p. m., with Elton Owen of
ficiating the entire program of
four matches.
Louis Beats Utah's
Two Top Pugilists
SALT LAKE CITY, DecT22 UP)
p'ormer heavyweight cham
pion Joe Louis, stoical and un
ruffled, toyed his way through
eight rounds with Utah's two top
heavyweight fighters In an exhi
bition last night.
Both the Utah boys Jay Lam
bert and Rex Layne-made good
on their promises to carry the
battle to the Brown Bomber, but
he brushed off their best efforts.
There were no knockdowns.
Louis weighed 223 pounds.
Lamber, 1948 U. S. Olympic
heavyweight fighter from West
Jordan, Utah, weighed 185, Lay
ne, former national A. A. U.
champ from Lewiston, Utah,
weighed 186.
Louis used his right sparingly,
fighting most of the two four
round bouts with left hooks and
jabs.
Layne Praised
Layno's attempts against the
former champion drew the best
comment. He waded In from the
opening bell and managed t o
crash a right to the Louis head
several times.
Ho drew a trickle of blood
from Louis' nose in the first
round.
Louis confided to his seconds
after the second round against
Layne. "I'm gonna have to watch
this little boy, he's kinda rug
ged." In his dressing room after
wards Louis said "Both those
boys are good. That little Layne
has a good punch. He has a fut
ure. They're both a long ways
from the top, but they're good
boys."
SCOFFS AT SOVIET CLAIM
LOS ANGELES UP) Re
tired Adm. William H. Standley,
former ambassador to Russia,
doubts the Soviets have either the
atom bomb or a large submarine
fleet.
"President Truman's report
concerned their possesison of the
secret of atomic energy," he said.
"From what I know of the Indus
trial potential, I don't believe they
have the bomb at all."
He also scoffed at the report by
Janes 1 Ighting Ships that Russia
has more than 300 submarines
with hundreds under construc
tion. The beaver sometimes attains

Baseball's Mack
Notes Birthday
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 22 UP)
Cornelius J. McGillicuddy sele
brates his 87th birthday today
but whether baseball's Connie
Mack was born Dec. 22 or 23,
1862, is still an open question.
"I have been told I arrived in
the middle ot the night," said
the manager of the Philadelphia
Athletics. "Some say it was the
22nd, others the 23rd."
No big celebration is planned.
The grand old man of baseball
planned only to hold his annual
birthday news conference and be
the honored guest at a luncheon
attended only by relatives and
close friends.
Although Connie has been a
part of the baseball picture for
66 years 49 as manager of the
Athletics he prefers to think of
the future rather than the past.
And most of all Connie likes
to think of things to come in 19
50 the year he hopes will bring
another world series champion
ship in celebration of his golden
anniversary as head of the A's.
Not since 1931 has the Amer
ican league pennant or champion
ship flag flown above Shibe park.
But Connie has high hopes for
next season.

Washington Tops
Gophers; Idaho,
WSC Drop Games
By The Associated Press
Vengeance-minded Washington
and Oregon rode to victory last
night over invading basketball
quintets from Minnesota and
Stanford.
Reversing the previous night's
result, Washington led nearly all
the way to dump Minnesota 53
46. . Two other northern divisjon
fives were not so fortunate. Ida
ho's Vandals fell 58-53 before
Drake at Des Moines, Ia and
Washington State was downed 67
59 by Bradley at Peoria, 111.
The even break In the night's
play raised the northern division
coast conference's record in in
tersectional play to .333 seven
wins in 21 outings.
Idaho, WSC Play Again
Both Idaho and Washington
State play again tonight. The
touring Vandals play their third
game In as many days, meeting
Morningside at Sioux City, la.
Washington State tackles Kansas
State at Manhattan, Kas.
Washington's Huskies trailed
only twice early in the first half
in handing the Gophers their
first loss in six games. Halftime
score was 22-18 and the Huskies
led throughout the second half
by margins up to eight points.
Lou Soriano, ex-Bremerton prep
ster, paced Washington with 15
points.
Washington State played with
out the services of Ed Gayda,
who sprained an ankle in the
Cougar's losing effort against St.
John's in New York Monday.
Three quick Bradley field goals
broke a 6-6 tie early in the going
and the Braves were never se
riously threatened again. Ron
Button led WSC with 10 points.
Fast Break Too Much
Idaho couldn't match Drake's
fast break in the first half and
matters were made worse when
the Vandals hit only four of 31
shots in the initial period. As a
result, they left the floor at half
time trailing 33-16 and even their
furious second half rally couldn't
make up the difference- Bnh
Wheeler, Idaho guard, counted 13
points tor the Vandals.

cerning the charging tactics of
the California line.
There have been mutterlngs
from unidentified sources that
the Golden Bears had a habit

said Fesler. "If California is off
side, I anticipate that California
will be penalized. But I'm not
going to yell before I'm hurt."
He repeated that his scout re
ports indicated the bears had a
hard, fast charging line.
The Buckeye Rose Bowl squad
was headed into another drill to
day. Fesler indicated he planned
no rough work. Four players who
missed yesterday's double drill
Jerry Krall, Ray Hamilton,
Tom Rath and Shag Thomas
were due back to practice today.
Their ailments were minor but
all were excused from practice.
