Portland Awaits Kramer-Gonzales Battle
PORTLAND. Feb. 5 -(Special)
Richard (Pancho) Goniales who
Is scheduled to play world pro
, fesslonal tennis 'champion . Jack
Kramer at the Portland arena
Tuesday night Is rated as the
most colorful tennis personality
since Bill Tilden. l-
Gonsales, who was lured into
the professional tennis fold by
Promoter I Bobby Rls. after
winning the national amateur ti
tle for the second year in a row.
Is at once fiery-and easy coins.
He can smash the opposition on
the court or play with the Indif
ference of a sun-stroked begin
ner. He Is the paradox of the

Itll hardly seem the tame:
Meaning that L. E. (Doc) Barrkk
Is stepping down as volleyball
-mentor at the local "Y". Doc,
during his tenure as volley chief
turned out many a Northwest
titlist and j at i least one - All
America choice developed from
his teaching. The peak period
for Barries: teams was -from 1932
to the period just before the war.
The locals captured many a
Northwest crown in that time
and hit the National finals en
several occasions. They didn't
win any national togas but they
pressed the best of 'em ... The
personnel of those cracker jack
clubs included such well-known
Salem names as Squee Kitchen,
Herb Birch, John Bone, Wilbur
C'urrey, Elmore Hill. Lou.Girod,
Lloyd Gregg. Bill Stratton, Keith
Brown, Dutch ; Schnuelle, Nile
Hilborn, Fred Smith and Bar
rlck himself j. . . Be hard to dup
licate Doc's record ... Stratton,
Incidentally, went on to gain
All-America honors in the mid
west '. . .
Pancho, Jack Worked
A good bunch of the area's
sports fans, tennis addicts or not,:
undoubtedly will be trekking
Portland or Eugene way to watch
Pancho "Gonzales try for one of
his rare wins over Jack Kramer.
If the lads perform like I they
did up In Seattle recently the
folks will be late coming home.
In rase you didn't note it, Pancho-and
Jack battled through a
29-27 set said to be the long
est In pro net history. Pancho
won the marathon, too . .
SUA Pose Threat? O
Up to a disastrous weekend
which saw 'em drop games to

tral Catholic, Coach John O'Cal
laghan's Sacred Heart Cardinals
had built themselves up an en
viable record with no losses In.
Marion-Polk, league play 1 and
hat one setback over the season
. , . But now the SUA ! JV's
have taken the glory away from
the varsity as they hold a mark
f 14 wins and not a single loss
. . . Incidentally, the Sacred
Heart first-liners. If their latest
fames be discounted as Indica
tion of a slide, just might give
Salem high's Viks a fair argu
ment In the coming district meet.

U. S. Four-Man Team
.Keeps Bobsled Crown
CORTINO D'AMPEZZO, Italy, Feb. 5-BVWIth defeat staring It
In the face, a daredevil United States team careened down the
treacherous Cortina course in record time today to retain the world
four-man bobsled championship.
Stan Bennam, captain of the
Americans and the fire chief at
Lake Placid, N. Y., never answer
ed. an alarm any faster than his
quarter-ton sled rocketed to vic
tory in its final Icy run today.
Trailing the Swiss No. 1 team,
headed by its international veter
an Fritz Feierabend, after the
opening two runs Saturday, Ben
ham and his crew cooly came back
for an astounding victory.
, Only yesterday, Feierabend and
his mates shattered the course rec
ord, but the U. S. foursome came
right back and tacked up a new
one. The time, on the final run,
was one minute, 21.03 seconds for
the snaky, 16-curve 1,648 meter
slide. The Swiss No J sled had
made it in lr21 .64 yesterday.
It all added up. to a total time
of 5:28.72 for two runs yesterday,
and the final two today, and it
gave the United States its third
consecutive victory.
Feierabend's bobsled had a total
clocking of 3:29.56 for four runs.
Benham's .crew almost missed
their chance to defend the title,
due to lack of funds, but Laka
Placid residents helped finance the
trip in a subscription. drive. Ben
ham said yesterday, however, that
Yet Gonzales never is dull. The
biggest U.S. champion of them
all. (6 feet 2 inches tall. 195
pounds) at 21 years he Is also the
youngest ever to turn profes
sional. He brings to the monied
ranks the brightnesses of color
that will be reflected In sharp
competition on the court.
For Kramer, Pancho poses a
new problem. They never met as
amateurs. Kramer plays a decep
tive game. He stalks the opposi
tion as Joe Louis did in the
rings. Gonzales, on the other side
of the net, plays a game based on
power.;'
Gonsales has the fortitude of

About Bout
NEW YORK, Feb. 5 -(JP)- A
welterweight title shot at Cham
pion Ray Robinson Is the bait for
Billy Graham and Kid Gavilan
Friday night in their 10-round
bout at Madison Square Garden.
Robinson's manager, George
Gainsford, said last week that
Sugar Ray would fight either
Graham, the boxing master from
New York's east side, or Gavilan,
the Havana Hawk, for the title.
Early odds make Gavilan the
favorite over Graham, recent eon-
tqueror of Tony Pellone. Billy has
lost but five of 94 pro lights.
Gavilan had two shots at Rob
inson, one a non-title go and the
other a championship bout at
Philadelphia last summer.
Jersey .Joe Walcott of Camden,
N. J., ranking heavyweight chal
lenger, returns to the ring at
Philadelphia Wednesday for an

champion, and Sandy Saddler, the
former champ, appearing in New
England. Both go Monday in dif

Featherweight Champion Willie
ep is worried.
In 147 previous bouts, Pep has
lost only to Sammy Angott and
Sandy Saddler but he does not
rate Andrews, a fairly stiff punch
er, as a pushover.
-Just because I am not risking
my title against Andrews has no
bearing on our bout,". Pep ex
plained. "Fight fans are eager to
see a champion dethroned but
they overlook a fact a defeat in a
non-title engagement has its
drawbacks.
"Suppose Andrews should beat
me," Pep continued. "I don't
think he will, but anything can

RUMFORD, Me., Feb. 5 -(JPh
Martin Lundstrom, Olympic
champion at 18 kilometers (11
miles), vgave Sweden such a big
edge in the third lap of the World
Ski Relay today that his country
ran off with the prize.
When Lundstrom took over his
team was trailing Finland by al
most eight seconds. After the
piano-playing clerk had finished
his 10 kilometers (6 miles) he
turned in a two minute edge
which the second place Finns
never were able to wipe out.
Thus the ski riders from the
land of the midnight sun added
the world championships to the
Olympic title they won at St

ago. -

Wolves to Test
Bearcats Again
Willamette's Bearcats, riding the
crest of the Northwest conference,
take time out from league compe
tition for a tangle with OCE's hoop
five on the local court Tuesday
night.
But the Bearcats will be taking
the kings-x tilt anything but
lightly. In an early season en
counter the Wolves matched score
for score with the Willamettes end
added the winning counter with
seven seconds left. The final score
in that mix, played at Monmouth,
was 62-61.
Along with the confidence of any
earlier victory, the Wolves had a
weather-favored rest from the
courts. Two games, scheduled
with Southern Oregon college of
education were canceled because of
bad driving conditions in the
south.
Both teams are expected to turn
in a much more polished game
in the Tuesday night tilt than the

marked the December mix.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5-6P)-Man-ager
Casey Stengel and Shortstop
Phil Rizzuto of the world champ
ion New York Yankees took well
deserved bows tonight at the 27th
annual dinner of the New York
chapter of the Baseball Writers
association.
Stengel, the "Miracle Man" who
piloted the oft-injured Yanks to
the American league pennant and
a World Series triumph over
Brooklyn, received the William J.
Slocum Memorial award.
Rizzuto, sparkplug of the
Yankee infield through the nerve
tingling pennant race, was award
ed the Sid Mercer Memorial plaq
ue as the outstanding Major
league player of the 1949 season.
The award was named after the
late Sid Mercer, famous sports
writer of the New York Journal
American. While the scribes polished up
their annual show, the Major
league executive council held an
afternoon meeting in Chandler's
hotel, suite.
There were no fireworks. Ac
cording to Walter Mulbry, secretary-treasurer
of the commission
er's office, there was no mention
of Pittsburgh's $100,000 bonus
pitcher, Paul Pettit.
Commissioner A. B. Chandler
announced, through Mulbry, he
contemplated no further action on
the Pettit case in the light of dir
ect information now in his pos
session. Chandler's special agent, Dick
Butler, investigated the signing of
Pettit by a Hollywood movie pro
ducer while he still was in high
school. Butler also was present
when Pittsburgh bought Pettit's
contract.
