Still After Groiim Broivh Petition Demands Cleveland Coach Be Hired; Illini Mentor Goes Home . - , i LOS ANGELES, Jan. 20 -P)- Mutterings of dissatisfaction over the selection of a new football coach echoed across the University of California campus today, and the Implication was this: ti Ray Eliot of Illinois lands the job the alumni may not give him lie cooperation and support to. irhich he has grown accustomed. Some old grad and under grad factions, it develops, are still hold ing out for Paul Brown, capable and costly coach of the Cleveland professionals. The university failed to offer Brown the salary to which he has grown accustomed; Eliot flew out to confer with USC officials yes terday; nobody signed anything; Eliot went heme, and all is not serene it tramway tech. Today's furore centered around a petition being circulated on the campus. It was directed against Fred D. Fagg, president of the university. It suggested that he and the board of trustees offer Brown more money. The petitioners hastened to point out they have nothing against Eliot. It's just that they'd rather have Brown and hang the expense. The petition reportedly was sponsored, without sanction, by members of the General Alumni association, non-member alumni. students, and members of the Tro jan club. These are the groups which recruit the football players. There are others. USC, it has been reported, of fered Brown $15,000 a year, about the same it paid the ousted Jeff Cravath. Eliot's fee ranges between $18,000 and $18,000. The figures are all unofficial. Gty Leaguers Resume Action AMERICAN LKAGCK llnA Half) W T. Prt.

The game is being sponsored by the Salem Junior Chamber of Commerce and will start at eight o'clock. The dark-skinned Trotters have appeared In Salem many times in past years, ana almost always be fore packed crowds. A full house is expected for the Tuesday addi tion, and tickets are now available at Wicklund's Sporting Goods store and Gale's Union Service station at State and Church streets Gale himself likely will play in the game. He also has lined up such prominent local basketeers as i rankle Page, Al McKae, Jim and Bob Johnson and Al Bellinger, among others, for his All-Star team.

He had 21 doubles. 1 triple and 12 home runs, plus 79 runs batted in. Even though a member of the ODDOsition last season, Novikoff made many friends in Salem dur ing his visits, with his slugging as well as his sideline antics and loquaciousness. Since his name was linked with the local organi zation some weeks ago. reaction among the Senator fans and stock holders has been one of enthus lasm. Novikoff a few seasons back was classed as the greatest slugger in all minor league baseball. He had numerous tries at major league pitching with the Chicago Cubs but failed to take his full clouting ability with him. He signed with Victoria last season with the stipulation that he would be given his free agency at the end of the campaign. i.. ... f STY- 'xr J M. Mirjl rr.V' :--r".--1 ":;-.i. i L r " .

The Press play Sacred Heart en the St Joseph's hall court this afternoon, starting at two o'clock. Donley is the captain and leading scorer for the team. Preps vs. Sacred Heart Today The annual Mt Angel Preps Sacred Heart Academy basketball series opens today at two o'clock when Coach Gene Barrett's Hill toppers come to St Joseph's hall to play Don Vandervort's Cardi nals. Bee teams will play the pre liminary. The varsity clash may well be a preview of later district action, as both the Cards and Preps are in the same district that will have its members battling for a state tourney berth during a con clave of its own in March. A small but scrappy team, the Preps have posted two major up sets in the Willamette Valley league action this season. They have downed both the strong Woodburn and Silverton teams. The Cards have at times been Im pressive in their season also, which points to an interesting mix today. Probable lineups will find Fran cis Donley, Jim Turin, Francis Piatz, Jim Butsch and Tom Ebner starting for Mt Angel, and Terry Cooney, Virgil Weber, John Hoy, Ron Haener and either Vern Dan iels or Dave Mock opening for the Cards. 35th Straight For Gehrmami BOSTON, Jan. 20 -CP)- Wis consin's invincible Don Gehrmann, luring on Fred Wilt In astute fashion, reeled off his 35th con secutive mile triumph while out distancing that flying FBI-man by 10 yards with 'a 4:11.5 perform ance tonight before the K of C track meet's 11,367 crowd at the Boston Garden.

Lawn Tennis association here today. The coast star, who is counted upon as a mainstay of the Amer ican Davis Cup team this year, was originally placed third by the ranking committee, behind nation al champion Art Larsen and Her bio Flam, but today's meeting de cided Patty had not played enough top tennis to merit the honor. After playing brilliantly in the French championships and at Wimbledon, Patty injured an an kle and was not able to compete In any of the big American events, including the national champion ship. His name now will go into the record book as "unranked be cause of insufficient data." As a result, each player who was ranked beneath him moves up one notch.
