By RON G EMM ELL. Opinion of big time college coaches,' high school mentors and officials was almost unani mously in favor of center-jump elimination basketball, it was ascertained at the first anaaal basketball clinic, conducted by Lea Sparks, Willamette's scien tifically minded'' professor of physical education and hygiene. Though Coaches Hobson and Gill, of Oregon and Oregon State, respectively, were of the belief that the elimination took something vital away from the game, they expressed a decided liking for it. Just as unanimous was the aversion to the "snd . den death" overtime rale. Coaches who won games in that "gambling" period, and tutors who lost tilts in it, were firm ly convinced that it was the 'berries." new Sport?

Judge Kene saw Mountain Landis, turning loose some 100 young players. Rickey's chief second, owner Sam Breadon on the St. Louis Cardinals, was reliably reported to have advised him to lay off the clouting commissioner, who never has lost a baseball decision. Rickey wouldn't admit he was hurt by yesterday's Judicial swat. But he said he had decided not to make a statement until the judge gives out the list of players made free agents: Judge Landis' report charging! misconduct between St. Louis and Cedar Rapids offered seemingly incontrovertable proof that the Cards' chief farm had had, for the April l is the date!

Bill Terry Isn't So Terrible now Finds Blast at News Men Hurts Self and League; Scans Emily Post By PAUL MICKELSON BATON ROUGE, La., March 24-J!P)-Col. William Harold "the Terrible" Terry Is going thxough a strange spring training season in this land of sociable people, crawfish, gumbo and oil. The terrible man's aim is to b e c o m e a member In perfect standing In the Good Fellowship club and he's working harder on his training program than the rawest rookie in his New York Giant camp. All day and part of the night, except for his mas ter-minding activities and con ferences with his oil associates hereabouts, the colonel struggles on to achieve his goal. Awed baseball writers, whom he lambasted so unmercifully In his magazine piece last January, even say the colorte came to camp with a copy of Emily Post's latest edition on etiquette and a frayed volume of Dale CarDegle's book, "How to Win Friends and Influence People." To one flab bergasted author, he is "reported to have vowed to make good as a good guy if "I have to give every newsboy my private tele phone number. One reason for "Terrible Ter ry's' change of tempered pace lies behind his venture in. the writing business. When, he wrote his magaxine opus, he didn't dream of the sensation it would create. The piece actually hurt him more than he realized. It la true, he made a lot of friends but he made more enemies. Most of all he made several new ene mles for the National League at the Tery time the senior loop- shellacked In three world series gamesneeded friends the most.

It's all Oregon State's Fault Carl Hubbell Scans Father Time's Approach, Doubts 20 Wins; Mancuso Says Hub Getting Younger, Better BATON ROUGE, La., March 24 (AP) Carl Owen Hubbell, looking a bit heavier but as fresh as a college freshman, was helping himself to a stack of wheat cakes in the Hotel Heidelberg dining room when the old sports trailer approached, pad and pencil in hand. He jumped to his feet, extended his right hand for a hearty shake and chuckled when asked how many games he was going to win for the. ' Giants this year. "Oh, I don't suppose I can keep going much longer," he said with what I detected to be a faint wink. "I'll be 35 in June and I sup pose old age will catch up with me any summer day. Win 20 games this year? Well, now, that's a big order. I'm getting slower and older and the hatters are getting better. Don't expect too much." Two tables away sat little Gus Mancuso. Gus, who couldn't help hearing Hub's comments, is the world's greatest authority on Carl Hubbell. For the last fire sea sons, Gus has caught almost every game pitched by the not-so-meek man from Meeker, Okla., help ing him couple his dazzling rec ord of 115 victories as against but 50 defeats over that span. So little Gus motioned to me to sit down for a talk on his favorite subject. VI wish I could grow old .like Hub," began Gus. "He looks clos er to 25 than 35 and his left arm Is like he is. We're going to have Quite a tough time licking the Cubs this year. I til be a ding- dong race, but I m sure of one thing and that's Hub orer there. He'll be as good or better for a few year to come. Why, the other day, I was watching him pitch and his curve ball had such a hop on it I thought he was throwing nothing but screwballs!" . "Why is Carl such a great pitcher?" Gus was asked. .- "His superb control," be re plied. "It's a pleasure to catch him. When a pitcher has Hub's control you can do things behind that plate. ..... i ;A ( f o A-:V7,: " " ' . : :-. . ...
