Coast . League Baseball Opens Today Senator Accuses Corrupt Athletics WASHINGTON UD Sena tor William Fulbrifiht (I) Ark) ac cused the colleges today of cor rupting their "hired" athletes and student bodies with "the cynical, immoral doctrine that one mutt win at any cost." He criticized the schools and their alumni alike, showering on them blame for the recent wile tie basketball bribe scandals centered in New York. The Arkansas senator charged colleges use "hired players." "make a mockery" of the whole spirit of amateur sports and must share the blame when scandal results. A one-time college football star himself and later a university president, Fulbright spnt-.e his views in a speech prepared for senate delivery today. He related his criticism to an appeal for a review of the moral standards of government and for congressional action to "help our country reaffirm or reestablish a higher concept of public conduct." "Our colleges, under extreme pressure from the alumni." Ful bright declared, "have become so intent upon winning football and basketball games thHt they use any means to gain their ends." "They hire players who are ..ut bona fide students," he said, and thus make a mockery, a face of the whole concept of amateur sport for the health and entertain ment of our young men. 1st Time Winners Takt Purses In Winter Tour CKKKNSBOHO, N.

And this is the time of Uie year the handicap pers stick out- their necks. This corner picked Oakland the last three years. The Oaks obliged by winning two championships ( ISM8-50) and finishing second in 1S4S. j The Oaks could do it again, es : penally with help coming from the New York Giants, but the outlook appears less bright than last season. Consequently, we're getting off the Oakland band wagon. Here are the New-land picks for I9M : 1 Hollywood 2 San Diego J Oakland Seattle 5 Sacra mento 6 San Francisco 7 l-os Angeles 8 Portland Last year the flag race finished as follows: Oakland, San Diego, Hollywood, Portland.

Oaks Slated By Portland 'ForOpcncr LOS ANGELES IJP -Fifty i thousand baseball fans, give or i take a few thousand, are expected l to turn out today for the opening j of the Pacific coast league s 49th season. I The defending champion Oak- land club scheduled a double i header, one game in the afternoon ! ami the second at night, and all ! the others will be under the lights. Even I -os Angeles' traditional day inaugural has been switched to the arcs. Oakland opens up against Port land, Hollywood is at Sacramento, San Francisco at San Diego and Seattle here against the Angels. For the lu st tune fn many years, the coast loop will offer a stream lined schedule. three-game series for the most part, instead of the customary long-drawn seven game series. Season Shorttnad And the season has been short ened from last year's marathon 2m games to 168, stretched over 141 playing dales. A year ago Seattle opened at Oakland and 11,849 fans attended. The figure may be higher today because of the two-game bill, be cause the Oaks are defending champions, and because they have a new manager, tlu" famed Mel Ott of all-time New York Giants renown. Joe Gordon, the old New York Yankees slur infielder, makes his managerial debut as skipper of the Sacramento Solons, and faces a veteran of Coast league wars, Fred Haney of Hollywood, who won the pennant for the St;irs in 1949. Two other newcomers to the managerial ranks square off here. with baseball's immortal Rogers llornsby piloting the Seattle Kain iers against the Angels, skippered by Stan Hack, the former Chicago Cub. star. Hack has been manag- i ing the past two years, at" Des Moines, and last year wild Spring field, Mass, in the International ' league, but Ihis is his dehul here. ! llornsby managed a successful I club at Beaumont in the Texas j league. Hollywood Favored I The oilier standby are Lefty O'Doul of San Francisco, Bill ! Sweeney of Portland and Del Ba- I ker at San Diego. Best set club, off spring exhibi tion games records, is Hollywood, while Sweeney has much the same outfit which closed with a rush to land In the fourth spot in the windup last full.

Exhibition Baseball Winner Vindicates Dismal Hibbard Tourney Record PORTLAND IPt-For George Hibbard, Jefferson coach, winning of the state championship was vin dication this year. Hibbard i previous tourney en tries were dismal failures. H i teams have won entry to the last four tournaments, but all failed in early rounds, until this year. ! in fact one of the earlier entries weit to the tourney with 23 straight I wins, the only undefeated team ! ever entered in the tournament i A prime favorite, it, too, caught ( tournament jitters, and lost. Hibbard was a star basketball player himself at Oregon State col lege.

Fights Last Night MINNEAPOLIS M Ken-, lucky, the nation's No. 1 ranking basketball team, meets Kansas State, the No, 4 team, tonight in the Blue Grass state squad's drive to become the first to win three National Athletic association championships. Tonight's final, to follow a pre- j liminary game between Oklahoma A. & M. and Illinois for third place, will be Kansas State's first shot at a title. And it appeared Jack Gardner's crew was all primed to make the most of it. Gardner warned the team as it left Kansas City after winning the western playoff over Oklahoma A. & M., by a very respectable score, i that it was not making the trip "for the buggy ride." No Slacking Off j He has lived up to that promise by keeping close tab on the learn s condition and exhorting them that ' "Kentucky can't be any thougher than any one of several teams' we've met this year." Members of the team themselves , feel that they've been wonting for the chance for some time and . are determined to make the most of it. On the other hand. Kentucky's ' coach, Adolph Rupp. the insurance : man-farmer-ex-school teacher, can' he depended on to bring his squad j to the floor of Willinms arena, on ; the University of Minnesota cam-! pus, in the best shape, both men-! tally and physically that is possi ble. I Rupp does feel that his team is1 tired from extensive travel. "We haven't played a good game in the last nine times out," he said. "I-ft'a hope that we come up with a good one against Kansas State." Both teams have reported possi bilities that one of their stars might not be available for full duty to night. Kentucky's ace forward, Cliff Hagan, showed up with a sore throat and a temperature of 99.8 yesterday. He was orderrtl to bed under a doctor's care and treat ment. Whether he can slart to night won't be known until game time, Rupp said. Odds Favor K-State Kansas State's star guard and captain, Ernie Barrett, has a left shoulder injury suffered in the western final and may not be up to playing a full game. In that case, a six-foot tall high scoring sophomore, Bob Kouscy, will be used by Gardner. Kansas State, apparently on its substantial victory over Oklahoma A. it M. the No. 2 ranking team, and its walloping of Illinois re cently, was made a three to four point favorite by local odllsmakers. That, Rupp said, was an unusual situation for his team beacause "it's the first time in my memory of ten years or so hat we'll go inlo a game the underdog." A sellout crowd of over 18.000 was expected to watch tonight's games. Hockey At A Glance iBjr th. ASMct.led Praaal American League Playoffs Pittsburgh 9.
