By JIM VANCE, Sporti Editor Maybe it just went overlooked i Sieve Belko of t he University of before, but there seems to be rash of accidental head-beaniniss in all ranks of baseball lately, among other things. If ils true that bad luck runs in streaks then the local scene has had its share. First little incident to come up was in the Roseburg Junior Le gion team's first ball game agaimt Eugene last Saturday. During that one, ace lefthander Ronnie Beam er took a blow on the left eye from a thrown ball. The swollen oplic doesn't seem to have affect ed Beamer's skill or ability any he's pitched sensationally since. But this doesn't hide the black and bloodshot marks that the eye still bears. THE SAME EVENING, in pre game practice, Eugene's all-stale basketball player and all - around athlete was smacked above the Oregon; Roy llelser of Luifield: Paul Breekler of the University of Iowa; Tomy I'rothro and Spec Keene at uregon Slate and r.a (Moose) Krause, Notre Dame ath letic director. DUTCH SIMONS, who now fills the position after the long and wide-spread search is to take over duties officially the first of August. The former national wrestling champion at 165 pounds In college, now stands 6-0 and scales in at a solid 223 pounds. Simons is penned to one-year contract. Simons is an Elk and belongs to the Presbyterian Church. ONE OF THE TASKS first facing Simons will be to join other Rose burg administrators in selecting the new Roseburg High football coach and the names of interested loft eye by a thrown ball. Like persons are already being discuss Beamer, Charlie Warren was taken ed. Everybody is recommending to a local hospital for observation someone and high on the list are after the game, but the blow toite names of Jake Leicht. the Warren was hard enough to keep him out of the game which follow ed. Warren's eye is still swollen shut and he may or may not he ready this weekend when the Eu gene team plays again. Then, of course, there's Glide's Dick Smith, who took a spill sliding inlo second base in his tryout at Los Angeles with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Dick will be on the shelf from four to six weeks before re porting back to either Los Angel es or Reno, Ncv. Not to be overlooked is the "beaning" one of the Church League kids, 15-year old Krncst Koree, look when he foul-tipped one back on his face. This, too, necessitated a trip to the hospital. But like the others, none were permanently disabling or serious. THAT LIST of sports authorities who were consulted for recom mendations in filling the new Roseburg athletic director's posi tion sounds like a sports almanac or who's who. I Consulted and producing recom mendations were such renowned sports figures as Bud Wilkinson of Oklahoma; Ed Weir, assistant athletic director at the University of Nebraska; Frank Leahy, ex Notre Dame coach; Tom Har mon, the ex-Michigan All-Ameri-ran and now sports radioman; Len Casanova, Bill Bowcrman and highly-regarded local officio coach and insurance man and Phil Mcllugh, the ex-University of Ore gon star.

Ryan said Thursday he feels that James D. Norris anil Arthur M. Wirti "must get out of Madison Square Garden" in whirh Ihcy hold a 39 per cent minority interest. Judge Ryan made the comment as he heard final arguments by the federal government in its suit to end what the government charges is a monopolistic control over championship boxing bouts by Norris and Wirti through the International Boxing Club of New York and Illinois. Judge Ryan announced he would slate his final decision next Monday. BERKELEY, Calif, t Univer sity of California regents were to rule Friday on whether their schools at Los Angeles and Berk eley can withdraw from the Pa cific Coast Congerence if they de sire. Before the board was a report from its educational policy com mittee which was given jurisdic tion May 25 after UCLA alumni made a fervent pitch for immed iate withdrawal. The committee, headed by Ed ward Carter of Los Angeles, met Thursday night but he refused to divulge their decisions. Presumably, the committee studied reports from President Robert Gordon Sprout and Chan cellors Raymond B. Allen of UCLA and Clark Kerr of the California Berkeley campus. "1 can't answer any ques lions," was all Dr. Sproul would say. Speculation here was that th answer to UCLA would be "no.' Officials, however, remained sil ent. Powerful alumni of UCLA have demanded since last year that the school be permitted to withdraw from the Pi:u. UCLA, Southern California. Washington and Cali fornia last year drew heavy pen alties trom the conference be cause of under the table financial aid to athletes, mostly by alumni and booster groups. The alumni felt the PCC regu lations are unrealistic. MEETING AT THE AIRPORT Thursday evening found rh Richard P.
