Denver Invaders Defeated Again; lA's Blades Win By United Prt International Some funny things happened to Denver n the way to the Western Hockey League title. .. The Invaders, who seemingly had first place wrapped up and were just marking time until the playoffs, are having the kind of week that gives hockey coaches nightmares. On Tuesday, Denver goalie Al Millar collected five penalties in about 10 minutes so that he now faces disciplinary action and possible suspension by the league. Millar was still in the nets Wednesday night at Seat tle, but hardly loked like the league-leading goalie he is after Seattle pushed six goals past him in one period during a 9-2 rout. It wag the most goals ever scored against Denver In one game. While Denver cllapses at a rapid rate, the rest of the league tightens up in the fight for playoff berths. The bottom two teams In the six-team chase do not get into the post-season competition to determine the .league champ. Los Angeles edged Portland Wednesday night, and now is 17 points back of Denver with 41 points. San Francisco, Seattle and Portland are tied with 38 points apiece and fast -rising Vancouver has 35. Among the herd of Seattle players who scored off Millar was Guyle Fielder, who with 1,103 points has long been i the league's No. 1 all-time point grabber. But his 278th goal put him fifth for all-time goal scor ers in WHL play and his total points place him second among all-time pro hockey players. " Jean C o s e 1 1 e led Seattlo Wednesday night with two goals and three assists. ' At Los Angeles, a big mid week crowd of 8,955 saw Port land move to 1-0 and 2-1 leads in the first period. But two goals by Marc Boileau and sin gles by Gordy Haworth and Jim Baird gave the Blades me win Los Angeles also is making news off the ice. Maurice Oftcbro, 24 was loaned by the Blades to St Paul of the Central Hockey League on a 24-hour recall ba sis. And coach Alf Pike has suspended defenseman Frank Arnctt indefinitely for insubor dination. Pike says his season long troubles with the defense man came to a head Tuesday when the two argued.

However, the faculty mem bers recommended 2-to-l that compulsory fees collected from students not be used to support Intercollegiate athletics. The faculty conducted the survey after a few members called for do-emphasis of ath letics at Oregon. Cards wero sent out to 500 members and 399 replied. The results showed 70.8 por cent in favor of a strong inter collegiate athletics program as It now exists or with Oregon in a conference. Only 29.2 per cent were opposed. They advocated dc-cmphasis or no program at all. The survey also showed that 67.6 per cent thought the should be improved. They wero divided over whether a new stadium should bo built or Hay ward Field enlarged. The vote against using com pulsory fees for athletics came at a faculty meeting Wednesday night. The count was 90 to 45, Unlvorsity President Arthur S. Klcniming sulci he agreed with the majority who favored a strong athletic program. 'I will see to'it that tho view of the majority regarding ath Idles and financing are called to the attention of the state board," Dr. Flcmming said. He said he would be receptive to a study of tho uso of all stu dent fees, but is opposed to halting their use for intercollegi ate athletics. Tho fees now are $32 a term, of which $0.50 goes to the athletic department Foss'Rule Faces Fight SAN DIEGO, Calif. (UPI)- The annual American Fotball League director's meeting opened today amid rumors that President Joe Foss' adminislra tion might have a fight on its hands to maintain control of the league. Foss said Wednesday that he wouldn t be a bit surprised" if someone tried to oust him from office. "It might be some one real close to you people down here," he said, referring obviously to San Diego Charger Coach Sid Gillman. Foss and Gillman have been at odds since the AFL cham pionship game in San Diego be tween the Chargers and the Boston Patriots. Gillman is understood to bo perturbed at Foss for not try ing to keep the game from being televised in Los Angeles since San Diego residents arc able to pick up the show on their sets. Under the contract, Foss is to remain president of the league until 1987. Gillman Wodncsduy denied that ho was behind any move ment to oust Foss. : "I am not leading any such move," ho said. "I have had disagreements with Fss just like anybody else, but I think ho has done a good job. Be sides, any move to oust him would have to come from the Charger president." Foss said If six of the elcht members of the AFL executive committee made up of tho president of the league clubs wanted him to step down, ho would bo glad to do it. How- over, he did Indicate that some sort of compensation on his con tract would have to bo made if he vacated the office. 9 I 4 J COACH TOM KEEL, left, chats with three members of a Roseburg swimming team which will come up against Medford in a swim meet this Sunday.

Tills is the first year the hop- step and jump has been on the Oregon indoor meet program, and three of the nation's top half dozen competitors top the entry list. The man to beat is Mahoncy Samucln, who is con- Istently over 50 feet and will be wearing tho USC Trojan col ors this season after a year at Foothills JC.

The high hurdle field also in eludes Boston, who holds the Coliseum record for he event at 7.1, along with a good many others who must be considered top threats for the top prize. This group includes Brian Polkinghorn, tho former USC star, Jim Allen of Washington States, Stevo Courtwright of Stanford and a fine Oregon soph oniore, Marcial Hunter.

(UPI) Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Art Wall and Paul Harney ruled as co-favorites to day as a colorful field of near ly 350 golf pros and celebrities teed off in the opening round of the $60,000 Bing Crosby Na tional Pro-Amateur champion ship. Nicklaus, the PGA and Mas ters' champion of 1963, was making his first start of the new year while Palmer, both ered by a slight cold, is out to defend his title as golf's lead ing money-winner.

The Bearcats have been the most successful college basket ball team in the last six years winning a total of 161 games against 16 losses. And although they don't show any signs of old age, they're definitely not what they used to be. Cincinnati lost another link from its great past Wednesday night by dropping an 87-77 deci sion to Bradley. While ' losing one game isn't cause for alarm, Cepeda Inks Giant Pact it did mark the Bearcats loss ever to a Missouri Valley Conference foe on their home court. Cincinnati had- compiled 41 straight successes against league opponents ai home dat ing back to 1947. Another streak was barely kept alive Wednesday night when fifth-ranked Davidson squeezed out a 52-49 victory at Richmond. The unbeaten Wild cats employed a surprise freeze when they led by only one point with 12 minutes to play and they just managed to salvage thei.' 14th triumph. C-'ncinnati, ranked eighth in the country, was the victim of two red-hot Braves from Brad ley. Lavern Tart helped Brad ley to a 46-45 intermission lead by scoring 22 points in the first half and Joe Strawder picked up for his teammates with 25 competition with the country s best long sprinters. ; . , This field will also have a pair of Oregon rookies, Gordie Payne and Butch Mcincrt, who have shown considerable promise in their early racing careers. A pair of seasoned weight men, Parry O Brien and Dave Stccn, both of whom are con sistent over 60 feet, lead the shot put field with rbokics Don Castle of Foothills JC and ex Portland Stater Ken Patera within easy range of winning if the top favorites slip. Ticket sales for the meet are now underway at the Coliseum, Stevens and Son in the Lloyd Cetitc. and Vancouver (Wash.) Furniture in the Portland area as well as McArthur Court and Mattox Pipe Shop in Eugene and Barrett's Sporting Goods in Albany. By United Press International The San Francisco Giants have satisfied two very impor tant people Willie Mays and Orlando Cepeda. Mays, the highest paid active player in baseball, signed for an estimated $105,000 Wednes day. A few hours later, the Gi ants also received a signed con tract from Cepeda, who is in the $50,000 bracket. Mays regards his contract signing as a necessary chore and seldom balks, but Cepeda is alot different and Giant offic ials were pleased with his early signature. Last season, Cepeda held out until March 2 but had his best season since 1959. He led the team with a .316 batting aver age, hit 34 home runs and had 97 RBls. His slugging percent age of .563 was fourth in the National League. The St. Louis Cardinals an nounced the signings of veteran pitchers Roger Craig and Lou Burdette. Craig, the hard-luck pitcher of the New York Mcts the past two seasons, came to St. Louis for George Alt man last fall. He was 5-22 last season and had a 15-46 record over a two-year period for New York. Burdette. who joined the Cardinals last season after be ing traded by the Braves, bad a 9-.'.3 record for the two clubs. The Chicago Cubs also had two signecs in outfielder Ellis Paul Toth Golf Pros Highest Paid Athletes In U.S. Sports SOC Cager Tops Scorers PORTLAND (UPI) Jerry Shults of Southern Oregon grabbed the Oregon Collegiate Conference basketball scoring leadership on the first weekend of play, statistics showed today. Shults scored 39 pints in two games. His nearest rivals were John Nelson of Portland State and Rich Deffley of SOC with 35 and 33, respectively. Portland State's Gordon Reisc leads in accuracy from the field. He hit II of 21 shots for a .524 average. Royco Kiscr of SOC made 13 ot 16 free throws for an .813 percentage and lead ership in that department.

The Crosby, sponsored by golf buff Bing himself, over the years has come up with about every type of weather imagina ble snow, sleet, hail, rain and wind. But this year, at least for opening day, the fore cast is for sunshine. All three courses arc in per fect shape particularly Peb ble Beach, a 6,747-yard mon stcr which bends and twists along the cliffs and beaches near Carmel Bay. For galleryites who would rather see celebrities than golf pros swing, they can watch pro football stars Jimmy Brown or Del Shofner, Dodger pitcher Don Drysdalc, Tennessee Ernie Ford, comedians Bob Newhart or Phil Harris or Donald O'Con nor, television's James Garner, baseball managers Alvin Dark or Bill Rigney, movie star Fred MacMurray, dancer-comic Ray Bolgcr, baseball outfielder Albic Pearson, or singers Howard Keel, John Raitt or Dennis Morgan. Aided by liberal handicaps assigned them by host Crosby, they'll be out to help the pros in the pro-amateur teams first .points in the second half. Strawder, who hit on 10 of 13 floor shots during his streak, took game scoring honors with 33 points. Ron Bonham led the Bearcats with 25 points. Davidson didn't anticipate much trouble with Richmond, which went into the game with a 5-7 record. But the Spiders, hitting on more than half of their field goal attempts, en joyed a 32-29 advantage at half time. When Davidson moved ahead at 45-33 with less than 12 min utes remaining, it put the ball in a deep freeze, breaking out of it only when Fred Hetzel was set up for a good shot. The strategy wo.'ked as Hetzel led all scorers with 20 points. John Telepo was high for Richmond with 13 points. . PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (UPI)-Willie Mays signed for $105,000 a year. He makes a probable $50,000 extra on the side. . Jimmy Brown, world's great est football player, gets approx imately $25,000, plus extras of another $10,000 a year or so. Wilt (The Stilt) Chan.berlain, pro basketball ace, makes in the neighborhood of $50,000 a season. Jockeys like Willie Shoemak er, if they have a good season, make upwards of $100,000 a year. Big money, you say? Pea nuts! Take a look at the golf pro fessionals. Over a 10-year span, they are the highest-priced ath letes in the history of sports They make more money than corporation presidents; several times as much as the president of the United States The only athlete who makes more in one year, possibly, the world heavyweight boxing champion who, if he is lucky, gets . three or four good gates during his career. But a golfer's career is good over a stretch of 10 to 20 years. And their yearly intake is as- Burton hit .231- In 93 games I tionomical. -5 with 12 home . runs and 41 : Arnold Palmer, with his golf- RBI's.

I season Jack Nicklaus, who won't be 24 years old until Jan. 21, is be lieved to have collected in the neighborhood pf a quarter of a million dollars in 1963, when his official PGA earnings were $102,903. Gary Player, the little South African who knows how to build a buck into two, has said that a good golfer with a good man ager should be able to quadru ple what he wins in official PGA earnings. , Player won $60,000 last season and off his own standards must have collected $240,000. National Open champion Ju lius Boros collected $83,000 in PGA money in 1963 and prob ably collected close to twice that amount. This doesn't mean that the players netted anywhere near the amount they made. Their expenses are unbelievable. Tom my Jacobs made. $26,000 last season more than many top executives. But he claims his is expenses for traveling frith his wife and child came to $22,000. Tony Lema says it costs hint and his wife closer to $32,000 to travel. The difference between golf pros and the other athletes, of course, is that the golfing take is a gamble: There is no fixed ' salary. -v. , .t- . But - at these prices it's : a pretty good gambl'j in' any man's business world.

The dams are not now pro vided with passage facilities for either upstream or downstream migrants. The commissions heard tes timony that over half a century ago such fish entered Klamath lake and the tributaries beyond How significant these runs were Is matter of question. It was poine) out to the commis sions that any effort to re-es tablish runs of anadnimous fish In the Klamath above th epow er dams would be confronted with immense biological prob lems.

Coast Cage Tempo Picks Up Friday By United Press International Action is sparse on the West Coast cage front tonight al though Idaho is at Gonzaga and Whittier tries its hand against San Diego State, one of the CCAA's tough teams. But the tempo picks up Fri day night when Stanford opens two-game series against UCLA and California also jour neys south to face USC. The Indians. 3-1 in Big Six play, are considered the only team with a remote chance of overhauling the Bruins (4 0), the nation's top ranked cage team. But Stanford needs at least a split this weekend to keep' its hopes alive. California is 3-1 in Big Six ac tion, but is no-more than even money against the Trojans, who arc 1-3 after battling powers Stanford and UCLA. Washington (1-3) takes on Washington State (0-4) in a se ries between probably the two worst teams of the Big Six. I The West Coast Athletic Con ference takes a breather this weekend, but other big games Friday find Oregon State at Oregon.
