' Walter Wolfner. general director, ' said Kuharich will be paid for the ; remaining year of his two-year con l tract, an estimated $14,000. ' Wolfner said ah immediate l search for a successor was under l way, - r Stydahar Considered ' Most prominently mentioned can- didates are Joe Stydahar, former head coach of the Lbs Angeles i rams, now affiliated with the Green " Bay Packers, and George Wilson, 1 assistant with the Detroit Lions. Kuharich's 1952 Cardinal team i won four of 12 National Football 1 League starts, finishing in a last place tie' with the Washington Red : skins in the NFL's American Con- ference. : He had joined the Cardinals fresh from directing the University of I Ban Francisco through an unbeat en 1951 season. The pawns in the losing game for Kuharich was assistants ' Mike Nixon and Bill Daddio. - The Cardinal front office claimed neither Nixon or Daddio could get co-operation from the players This -was denied by Kuharich.

Kenny has now sold over 40 of the 10-ticket blocks for the com ing season, and has set as his per sonal goal the number 50 . . . The village could stand many more real hustlers of the Long species . . . Bowling note (if our new bowling writer Brownie V a 1 d e z doesn't mind): Joe Coe, onetime operator of the local Capitol arena has now taken over the Roseburg Alleys, and takes pride in the fact that Roseburg is sending 16 teams to this year's state tournament. Joe continues to operate Coe's Pendle ton Bowl also, which must make him a tenpin tycoon. Betcha the fact that the government is spend ing some 30 millions on the nickel mines at Riddle (15 miles out of the bustling Roseburg) was instru mental in Coe's expansion . . . Washington Husky Tippy Dye isn't the only one to call Bob Houbregs the greatest player "now perform ing in collegiate action. Former Mi.cW rnarh "Uncle Hec" Edmundson. for years one of the top cage mentors in the country, has this to say of the hook-shot expert: "The greatest player in Pacific Coast Conference history." And since Uncle Hec has both coached and seen great ones by the dozen in his long career, his testimony is indeed Impressive . . . Speaking of Houbregs, - rtid von know that both he and Captain Mike McCutchen of the Hus kies came within a whisker of choosing Gonzaga over Washington when thev both trraduated from Seattle high schools? A last-minute decision enrolled them at Huskyville . . Surprise move by Chuck Sheron, leaving Woodburn as football coach after five seasons. Chuck would have had nine of his starting 1952 eleven gridders back again next season. He was telling Murl Anderson of Silverton about it the other night, and Murl chortled back.

He's had a hankering to get into the administra . tive end of school work for some time now ... Netv Rule Finds Kip, Len Experienced ; One thing about the new football rale change for '53, both Kip Taylor at Oregoir State and Len Casanova at Oregon win be s sizeable Jump ahead of their compatriots in the bigger Califor nia schools In remodeling processes. Kip and Len have been forc ed te operate more or less one-platoon style the last couple of seasons, and particularly so in 1952. Consequently they'll not have the adjustments to make In comparison with the big boys down south who must now reconstruct practically their entire coaching procedures ' 7 The kayo of the platoons will bring about the demise Of such grid animals as place-kicking, line-backing and safety experts, lads who didn't do much .else than their specialties heretofore. One of these might be Des Koch, the Southern Cal Trojan who for the past. two seasons has been the champion punter of all collegiate football. ? But Trojan Coach Jess Hill says no.

Dasso is general manager of the Wenatchee club and was quite helpful in obtaining McCormick as field. boss. "Yes sir,w grinned McCormick, "that ought to be something me telling my boss to get off the mound and go take a quick shower . . . : Dasso had one for a laff himself. lie told of how many years he's been in baseball and how many times he's dickered and bick ered with baseball magistrates come contract time.

Williams, Pade, Bone Steele, Holman and Paulus feel ing that the 1953 campaign will be the most successful any Sena tors team has ever had. General Manager Hugh Luby swung the deal for Bevens, the big former New York Yankees righthander who notched 20 vic tories for the 1951- Salems. The move also provided a break for 19-game winner McNulty, who was going to give up the baseball ghost if he didn't get another try with a Coast League team next spring. Bevens himself was all smiles Wednesday, for he had earlier in dicated he wanted to play in the Northwest in 1953 rather than in San Francisco. He will be pitcher coach for the '53 Senators. The club directors are also elated over the strong possibility that the Coast League Seals will send two or three optioned players to Salem next season. The Senators already have a limited working agreement with both the San Diego and Sac ramento clubs. "What with the way the ticket sales are going," Board President Bruce Williams said Wednesday, "we'll be able to step out and buy a player or two who can hit. We've been handicapped in the past because of lack of funds with which to buy players. But we've got some money now, and if Luby wants to buy someone he can af ford to do it ! "After looking over our reserve list of players, realizing that wo might come up with some valuable help from the Coast League teams and knowing that we can afford to buy a good player or two.' Williams elaborated, "I'm looking forward to the biggest and best baseball season in Salem's his tory." Meanwhile fans are urged to get their tickets as soon as possible. They're still on sale at Wicklund's, Warner Motors, Pades State Street Grocery and Bonesteele Stude baker Sales & Service at $1 each or 11 for $10.

IrSelsoii Props On Amateur By CHARLES IRELAND Sports Writer, The Statesman Salem's Battling Nelson dropped an extra-close decision to Carl ton Lincoln of Portland Wednesday night in the main go of a 12-bout amateur card at the Salem Armory. The dusky Portlander kept pounding his right to Nelson's heart and had the popular Salem fight er winded at the finish. Even so, it was a nip-and-tuck decision. Both ringside Judges gave Lincoln a slight edge. Ref eree Bobby Richards' scorecard came out even, but he made it unanimous by giving his vote to Lincoln on cleaner punching. Both fighters were agressive -plus and it was dog-eat-dog all the way. Nelson came out swinging with his favorite bolo punches and drove Lincoln into the ropes, but the round ended even up. Lincoln got in his best licks in the second round and opened a gash under Nelson's right eye. It was believed to be the first time the battler had been cut in his ring career. The decision made it two-in-a-row and two-out-of -three for the Portland fighter over Nelson. But the outcome was so close that a featured rematch seems assured. 835 Watch Boats The bouts were witnessed by 833 cash customers, and sponsoring Sa lem Cherrians hoped the net re ceipts would add close to a grand to the March of Dimes. A pair of 150-pound Albany lads provided a lot of action in the other 11 bouts which saw four technical knock-outs but no Real McCoys. All bouts were three rounds. Howard Meredith of Albany won the nod over Bob Davis, Eugene, in the most popular preliminary. Looking bigger than the 150 pounds they were billed at, the Dempsey-style sluggers went at it hammer and tongs. The unanimous decision for Meredith pleased the crowd,. The other Albany fighter, Ray Hoskins, was the victim of a tJc.o. in 1:10 of the third round after gamely absorbing a lot of punish ments from Frank Hisgen, Eugene, who had the reach on him.' Virgil (Curly) Dyer, popular Sa lem bantamweight, hammered Buddy Mergen thaler (Tongue Point Naval Station) with a good left to win a unanimous decision. Balthrop Loses Salem's other two boxers took it on the chin. Billy Balthrop, fight ing at 128, started carrying the fight to Dale Moore (Portland PAL) and ran into a hail of pun ches that left him groggy, on the ropes. The referee stopped , the fight with 50 seconds gone in the second. Mack-Webb, Salem 165-pounder, dropped a close decision to George Jones of Portland Air Base, u, Most calls were popular but the crowd was u nh a p p y when the judges awarded the nod to Bob Davis (Tongue Point) over Stan ley Kromerek (Eugene) in a 140 pound match that was one of the best on the card. The only thing close to a knock out came when Announcer Milton Guptil of Portland pulled down the ring-center, "mike and conked himself with , a bong heard all over the armory. Other results; 152 Pounds: Ed Milberger (PAL) decisioned Jim McDaneiels (Ton gue Point); 165.

PHILADELPHIA Statisti cal material, including figures,, maps and a dissertation on the coaxial cable and micro wave re lays, slowed the government's anti trust suit against the National Foot ball League Wednesday. ; The government is charging . in U.S. District Court that the NFL's television policy violates the Sher man Anti-Trust Act. Briefly the government says that the NFL can not delegate territories to its 12 member clubs and give them ex clusive rights to radio broadcast and telecast of league games in those areas. Groundwork Laid During the first three days of the trial before Judge Alan K. Grim, the government has been attempt ing to lay the groundwork for its case. Most of the material has been of a technical nature. It all boils down to this. The gov ernment contends that each in dividual team has a right to de cide when, where and if it will televise games.
