Major League Preview Joe Gordon Has Hopes Of Lifting Up Athletics By JOE REICHLER Associated Pr Sports Writer WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) Joe Gordon is an eternal optimist. The new manager of the Kansas City A's thinks he can lift last year's cellar dwellers into the first division of the American League. Aside from having a new short stop and a different set of catch ers, this is virtually the same team that won only 58 games in 10. Gordon can finish fifth this year and still make the first division because of the American League's expansion into a 10-team circuit. If Gordon had to name his starting pitcher today, he'd pick rookies Jim Archer and Norman Bass, along with Ray Herbert and Bud Daley, as his big four. That's a pretty sad commentary con sidering that Archer had an 11-12 record at Miami last year and Bass, not even on the A's roster, was 6-11 at Sioux City. Holdovers Dick Hall (813), Johnny Kucks (4-10) and Ken Johnson (5-10) figure to be the other starters. Daley won 16 games last year and Herbert 14. Gordon plans to convert Don Larson into a relief pitcher to work in the bullpen along with southpaw Joe Nuxhall, Bob Hart man, a left - hander purchased from Louisville; Ed Keegan, a right-hander drafted from Buffa lo; and Bill Kunkle, another right handed draftee. Gordon is happy with his new shortstop, 23-year-old Dick How ser. and his catching staff con sisting of Joe Picnatano. Haywood Sullivan and Clint Courtney. He thinks the addition of Howser, a .338 hitter at Shrevoport last year, gives Kansas City the best infield it's had since it joined the Ameri can League in 1955. "If Howser continues to look as good as he has been, we should eliminate the problem at short stop, at least defensively," said Gordon. "The addition of Howser also means that Jerry Lumpe won't be disturbed at second base, his natural position. Marv Throne berry will get a good shot at first base and Andy Carey is as good a defensive third baseman as there is in baseball." Gordon plans to carry six out fielders. He listed his regulars as Norn Siebern, left field; Bill Tut tic. center field and Hank Bauer, right field. His reserves are Lou Klimchock, who can also play the infield. Jay Hankins, who batted .300 at Shreveport; and Leo l'osa- da, the Southern Association runs batted in king with 122 at Shreve port. . . : ' Bowling Loop Said Ready DALLAS (AP) Commissioner Dick Charles pronounces his Na tional Bowling League all set for jits maiden season with 76 players j signed and arenas under construe ; lion in 10 cities. Two of the charter members, Birmingham and Miami, have been dropped because they didn't start work on the arenas in time, by March 1. "But we have 10 cities that are solidly organized and our finances are such that we can play to halt capacity and still be in the black," said Charles as he enthusiastical ly surveyed the season that starts Oct. 13.

(AP) Oregon State College opened its 1961 track season and an invasion of Cali fornia with a resounding 101V4 29V4 victory over Fresno State here Tuesday. Oregon State won 12 of 15 events. Darrell Horn lead Oregon Stale to victory. He captured the broad jump with a leap of 24 feet, 3 inches. Then he came back and won the 220-yard low hurdles in 22.8 seconds. The meet was run in nearly per fect weather, and that helped Bob Boyd of Oregon State set a sta dium record in the two mile with a clocking of 9:06.4. The previous mark was 9:10, set 19 years ago. The meet was the first of three for Oregon State this week. The Beavers will meet Cal Poly at San Luis Obispo Thursday, and then participate in a three-way New England's Basketball Is Completely Unpredictable NEW YORK (AP) New Eng land basketball, like New England weather, is noted for being utter ly unpredictable. "Unpredictable" could be the key word for the semi finals of the National Invitational basketball tournament which match two New England teams in one bracket and two Midwestern teams in the other. Providence College, runner - up to Bradley in last year's tourna ment but unseeded and almost un heralded this year, meets fiery Holy Cross in one game at Mad ison Square Garden Thursday night and Dayton faces St. Louis in the other. The only sure thing is that when the Holy Cross and Providence rooting sections start trying to out yell one another, the folks in the middle are risking deafness. Providence and Holy Cross have made themselves the glamor teams Nicklaus Fires 65 In Practice Round NEW ORLEANS (AP) One thing's for certain, by golf yard sticks big Jack Nicklaus wasn't lacking for want of preparation going into today's first round of the historic Western Amateur Tournament. The 20-year-old cloutcr from Columbus, Ohio, turned in his final practice round Tuesday with a record-breaking six-under par 65. New Orleans amateur Jim Mangum set the old record of 66. Other Western title aspirants had difficulties. National Amateur champion Deane Beman of Be thesda, Md., posted a 73, and 1960 finalist Bob Cochran of St. Louis, couldn't find the mark with a borrowed putter and wouldn't re veal his "real bad" score. Aside from Nicklaus and Be man, other leading contenders in the Western's 59th tournament in cluded former winners Dr. Ed Ilraiesraff of Tucson. Ariz.. James Ttfll..

Providence reached the semifi nals Tuesday night with a come back 71-68 victory over Niagara after Al Butler, the losers's clever ail-around star, Had held fcgan vir tually. scoreless for about 25 min utes. -Earlier the Eagles had beat en DePaul in a minor upset. Ag gressive Holy Cross beat Detroit 86-82 and Memphis State 81-69 the two highest scores of the tour nament Dayton, the only one of four seeded teams to make the semis, beat Temple 62-60 in what Coach lorn Blackburn called a You take it, I don't want it" type of game. "Our ball handling was the worst we've had this season," said Black burn. St. Louis, defensively strong but low in scoring, has beaten Miami (Fla.) 58-56 and Colorado State 59-56. The Billikens, playing in their 10th NIT. will be more of a match for Dayton in height than .temple was. As for the Holy Cross - Provi dence outcome, Niagara Coach Taps Gallagher, who has played both, leaned toward Providence on the theory that the Crusaders have no one to match 6-10 Jim Hadnot under the boards. Joe Mullaney, the Providence coach, said that what worries him is having tall but slow Hadnot up against a small agile player who can outmaneuver him. Both took refuge in the state ment that anything can happen when two New England teams meet. For that matter, almost anything could have happened in Tuesday night s two quarter linais. Dayton harrassed by the tight, pressing Temple defense led by clever 5-10 Bruce Drysdale, won out on lorn HaUon's shot with four seconds to go. Niagara had an 11-point lead in the second half, but when Butler Morey of Morgantown, N. C, Mexican amateur king Juan Es trada and NCAA Champion Dick Crawford. ing Egan like a fog. the situation changed suddenly.

(AP)-The National Collegiate Athletic Associ ation today urged lawmakers and enforcement agencies to take ag gressive action to control organ ized gambling and stamp out the "despicable characters" who seek to profit through the corruption of sports. Taken Precautions ' "The nation's colleges and uni versities, athletic conferences and the NCAA," said Walter Byers, ex ecutive director of the NCAA, "have taken every precautionary means at their disposal to guard against possible point-shaving or game-throwing in intercollegiate sports. The NCAA also has recom mended to Congress that it take further legislative action in this area and has conferred with the Justice Department in an effort to enlist its support. "Everybody picks at the kids, at the sport, and at the colleges when something like this basket ball scandal happens," Byers said. "I don't defend the kid a hit. He should be indicted. He's selling his soul. Get At Gambler "But there has to be a way to 1 get the source the gambler, the I despicable characters who want to influence the outcome of an event. bverybony wno makes a bet no matter how big or small plays a , part in it. "The more money bcl, the more scandal of this type you breed. "The NCAA can try to help im prove the situation, as it has done ! since disclosure of the scandal of 1 1951. But we are limited. We can only improve the situation. We can't control the problem if it is not a crime under law to bribe or attempt to bribe a boy or an official. I feel the only solution is federal legislation making it un- lawful (o attempt to affect the out come of an athletic event." i As Byers spoke, Sports II llustrated said in an article on i "The Farls About Fixrs" that the college basketball scandal will in volve "a number of Southern slate universities" and "players and teams in both the major post-season tournaments, the NCAA and the NIT." More Exposures The article, by Jeremiah Tax in an issue of the weekly sports magazine reaching news stands to day, said the case will take "at least six more weeks to unwind" and there will he "exposure of more bribers and players." Byers said on learning of the ar ticle that there is "nothing before the NCAA to warrant action" con cerning the NCAA finals in Kan sas City Kriday and Saturday. He said he had no comment on the references to Southern slate univer sities. The NCAA is an association of colleges and univcrsilies with cur-i rent membership of 552. It draws up the playing rules of college athletics, sels standards of eligi bility and, through its policy-making body, the NCAA Council, takes probalionary action when neces sary against violators of its codes. Byers, .19, a former newspaper man, heads the association, which has its headquarters just around the corner from Kansas City's Mu nicipal Auditorium, whom the NCAA basketball championships will be played Kriday and Saturday.
