t Th Stcrfman, Salem, Oregon, Mondcrf, Tcmncar 12 K!3 Pihos Snags Pro Boivl Aerial ettoini JiJalll, loraliiam :s C7 Newest prep sensation In the Northwest now that Swede Hal brook's high school career lies behind him. Is a lad named Gary Nelson, manufacturer of some prodigious "scoring performances at little Elma, Wasn., iiign acnoou A 7-1 giant like Halbrook, the Elma senior Isn't quite aa effec tive as -Swede in the opinion of local men Larry Oslond and Hank Landis, who recently saw Nelson In action. Oslond and Landis add, however, that the Elma flash lsnt fed with the consistency that Hal brook was at Lincoln, where he was exploited to the hilt . - . Ru mor is that Nelson, will i go to Seattle U, whichll need somebody to take op the frightful slack left next year when the O'Brienra cate. But yon can expect a dog fiht anions' the colleges for such a prize as this and think what Oregon State would have if the Beavers could set Nelson to pair op with Halbrook. If that ever happened A everybody on Slats Gill's schedule would concede without a second thought ... Who Said Evan9 Game Was Somebody wrote recently that with the headaches of operating a over the pins had tapered off. (Yep, we were tne rumj party . . Ami thn what daM Frankle do but fashion the second highest sane tioned series in the city's history with that 745 at Capitol Alleys the other night. In getting the biggest three-game score of his career, Evans twice came within' nudging distance of perfect games as he hammered 277 and 27S on his last winded nine In the 277 effort and a a row in the 278 game ... So the Capitol boards cooperated well with Frankle, even though he is manager of the rival University plant . . . Points Come Cheaply Nowadays After the murderous flailing of the hoops around the land this past week, one wonders where things are going to end. Bevo Francis, the ean't-be-anythlng-else-but-phenomenal freshman at little Rio Grande in Ohio, flattens without a doubt every available record as he tosses in 116 points In a single game. The guy admittedly must be good but looking at It in another sense, ain't It kind of ridiculous? Few are the entire teams that hit the century mark and here we have one long, lanky kid making the onetime feats of Nat Holman, Hank Lnisetti and. Wally Palmberg look like dwarfish doings ... And then alone comes Washington's Bob II ou day night to smash the FCC one-game scoring mark and put a virtual clinch on almost every other In the books. All a result, of course, of present-day mad-cap, fire-engine nobody knows ... At any rate, hero scores 20 points in a contest he isn't singled out for mention in enough in these times to bring any Foes Find Bearcats Bounce Beat 'em once and they'll comeback and lick the daylights out of you. That has been the pattern followed by Johnny Lewis' Willam ettes in recent games. Chico State, Central Washington and Unfield knocked off the WU men In series openers, only to take it on the chin in the finales. So you can rightfully call the Bearcats the rebound kids and how they rebounded Saturday night in inflicting that ter rifle 103-69 loss on Roy Helser's Linfields. That tilt serves notice on the the rest of the Northwest Conference teams that the Methodists aren't going to relinquish their title without a fight . . . Harold Hank's Salem Highers must have set a high for the season among major prep quints when they scored 52 points velt Friday night. That ability to you don't want to under-estimate the '53 Viking outfit . . . That 37 points made by Marion Motors Larry Smith the other night probably amounts to a new City League scoring mark ... Oh, oh, and did Jack Hurley make another-mistake in turning down an offer to give his Harry Matthews a shot at Archie Moore's light heavy toga? Remem ber that Hurley played for the big one before when he passed up a shot at Joey Maxim's light heavy crown in order to get Matthews In with Rocky Marciano. We all know what happened to Harry in that one. And now Hurley passes up Moore in order to get another possible crack at Marciano. Guess Jack just doesn't want Harry to win any titles. There is a tall amount of gambling involved on the part of the Matthews camp in aiming for a second scrap with Rocky. For one thing there will be a long wait a good year at least. Some guys named Walcott, Lay ne, -Charles and LaStarxa are first in line to get their noggins knocked off . . . This corner still thinks Moore himself to be the man with the best chance of depriving Marciano of his purple robes ... Tivo Games Billed Tonight . . . Coyotes Move to Front Jn fJW Conference Kace The Northwest Conference hoop campaign has had its first big weekend with Sam Vbkes' College of Idaho Coyotes moving to the fore via a pair of wins at the expense of Eldon Fix's Lewis and Clark Pioneers. In other action the defending champion Willamette Bearcats split with Linfield's Wildcats and Pacific's Badgers did the same in a pair with Whitman's Mission aries at Walla Walla.

Willamette gets back into action next Friday and Saturday nights as they host College of Idaho in a pair that could be one of the crucial series of the campaign. Next Monday night Whitman in vades the WU court for a single contest. When the Coyotes come here it will serve as a homecoming for Votes, who served as Willamette freshman hoop mentor last year.

Big Six League fray in NBAProposes 5-Man Middle Title Tourney NEW YORK UPt The National Boxing Association ecommended Sunday a five-man tournament to determine the "American" middle weight champion who then will meet the winner of a Randy Tur- pin-Charles , Humez bout for the world title vacated by Sugar Ray Robinson. Although the recommendations carry only N.B.A. blessing, they are expected to be approved by the New York Commission Mon day when a three-man committee meets with Chairman Bob Chris t enberry. Strangely enough, there Is a Frenchman in the N.B.A. "Ameri can" eliminations. This came about because Rocky Castellani of Lu zerne, Pa., one of the top-ranking ranking Americans, already had been matched with Pierre Langlols of France for a Feb. 6 bout at Ma i ison Square Garden. "Langlois was included because of his match with Castellani." N.B.A. commissioner Abe Greene explained. "If he should beat Castellani, he would have to super cede him in the rankings." Four Initial Bouts The tournament calls for four bouts before the "American" champ is crowned. Two of the matches already have been made. Carl (Bobo) Olson of Honolulu meets Norman Hayes of Boston at Boston, Feb. 7 in one elimination battle. The winner will then draw a bye until the finals. After the Castellani - Langlois bout, the winner will meet Ernie Durando of Bayonne, N.J., with the survivor of that bout facing the Olson-Hayes winner for American recognition. Although the British Board of Boxing Control insists any bout Involving Turpin, the ex-champ, be recognized as a title match, the N.B.A. wfflrate the Turpin-Hu- mez winner as European cnamp only until he has met the Ameri can titleholder.

Norris, president of the IBC, announced that he had received a xiite from Hoover ex pressing appreciation of the offer made to him, but that he could not consider acceptance of such an opportunity at this time. Harry Markson, managing di rector of the IBC, announced a week ago that the organization planned to offer the FBI director a 10-year contract calling for $100, 000 a year to head the organiza tion. .

Now, as the troupe heads out on its country wide tour, Frank, the star of the Australian Davis Cup team, is tied with Kramer at two matches each. The bandy-legged little Segura, however,, seems to be the lord and master over McGregor who is hav ing all sorts of trouble getting used to the canvas court.
