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.

Ultimatum Given
Norris By Judge
NEW YORK Wi-Kcderal Judge
Sylvester J. 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. Smith family of
Glide greeting Bill Brenzell, at right, head West Coast scout for the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Brenzell flew to Roseburg to complete final contract arrangements which will make
young Dick Smith a member of the Brooklyn baseball organization. Smith, now recover
ing from a broken onkle suffered in the Dodger tryout camp last weekend, is signed
to a $4,000 contract (Paul Jenkins)
