TRABERT WINS SYDNEY. Austrial Wl Amer ica's Tony Trabert whipped Aus tralia's Mervyn Rose in a strenu ous five-set match played in 100 plus heat Tuesday to set up a pre view of Davis Cup strength in the semifinals of the New South Wales ennis championships. ' - : Jimmr Grogan. the former k . 1 nBoDMiin9 Mrnmg I With Jerry JStone . , . - .-. . .- . heights in amateur ice skating, has around a year to serve in the Army ... His brothers say Jimmy still is up in the air about what to do with his prowess on the thin blades when he gets the dis charge whether to take another crack at the Olympic title in "56 or turn pro with some such troupe as Sonja Heme's . . -. Meanwhile Jimmy is entertaining troops as a member of a special service unit ... Remember Millard Grove, the one-time local links phenom whose brilliant prospects were apparently dashed by an accident with a live wire on the old Ilahee course? At a very tender age, Millard was absolutely the tough est link iter in this area. And then came the accident which ren dered two fingers useless ... Has that misfortune stopped the guy's golfing? Well, figure it out . . . His brother. Red Grove, reports that Millard recently fash ioned a 63 on the tough wiismre course in Los Angeles, where he now resides . . . few years ago he rang up a Wilshire mark with a 62 And that mark continues to stand even though some fairly capable dubbers like Ben Hogan and Lloyd Mangrum have taken cracks at it . . . Millard considers himself merely another, Sunday golfer but what a Sunday golfer . . . Up, Up, Up the Folks Stared Some' people must have pinched themselves at the local bos depot the other night and some might have spewed their coffee all over the premises in astonishment The occasion for that could have been when the pleasant-faced lad at the head of the counter, getting up to pay his check, kept unwinding until his frame projected skyward to an awesome degree... The lad. of coarse, was Oregon State's 7-3 Swede Halbrook, here on a bus stopover . . i And how in heck can Swede comfortably situate those elongated legs of his on a bus? ... Two yards gained and two touchdowns; how is that for capital liinff on oDDortunitv? That's what Linfield's Wildcats did in wham- boozing Willamette the other night top production with an absolute ; minimum of effort The Wildcats won though murdered in the j statistics department; they won despite a very sub-normal offen sive performance by the great Ad Rutschman ... The Wildcas star had many a great yardage-gaining game daring his four-year Linf ield career but it's interesting to note that he never has been a ball-earning terror against the Bear cats . . . However, Ad made his presence known last Saturday night with an inspired brand of defensive ball such as three key interceptions and some effective kicking ... The Johnny Ray on the Willamette basketball squad is not the crooner nor any relation to the crooner and also the Bearcats' Johnny isn't the crying type ... In fact Coach John Lewis has hopes that Ray will be one of the guys that'll keep himself from crying . . . Slats Gill of OSC says that 6-8 Red Rocha. his center just after the second World War, is the most alert big man he ever saw ... Bruins Better All-Round Club Than Indian Stanford's Bobby Garrett is truly a great passer bat there's strong opinion that UCLA's Bruins would be the Coast Con-, ference's best bet in the Rose Bowl (yes, despite the one-point, loss to the Indians) . . . The Brains, led by Paul Cameron, have a more potent all-round game, so goes the opinion ... BUT here's a hunch that Southern Cal will knock off UCLA Satur day and thereby give Stanford automatic entry into the Pasa " dena classic. Garrett should be able to take care of Cal ... Oregon State's Kip Taylor has shaken off his robe of gloom and bravely started predicting OSC wins. Kip did it. last week and the prediction came through against formula for the approaching mix with Oregon . s. . Stanford s Chuck Tavlor carried on in a similarly optimistic fashion a couple of years ago. Chuck's predictions looked ning. When lortune nose-aivea, eleam and he fell back into the pessimistic football coach .. Salem High's 1937 Team Had Great Season Also, Claimed State Championship 0 While Salem High's current football team is running up the most impressive record in school history, ldtimers are looking back a few years to other outstanding Viking dabs. Pictured above is one of these, the 1937 outfit which compiled an S-won, 1-lost mark and claimed what was at that time the mythical state cham pionship. Can yon recognize any of the faces above? If not, they WU's Travel Roster Picked Coach Ted Ogdahl Tuesday an nounced the 27-man Willamette University traveling squad which leaves Thursday evening for the south and a Saturday night season-closing s game with un beaten Cal Poly. Ogdahl reports no serious in 5uries among his men, so the Bearcats should be in top shape for what likely will be their toughest opponent of the cam paign. Ogdahl and Aide Jerry Frei will wind up drills today at Mc Culloch Stadium and the WU party will entrain at 5:55 Thurs day eve for the south.

Those who have subscribed to the stock were notified by post card recently. Beshore Faced By Bucceroni LOS ANGELES Dan Buc- iceroni, who hopes to land a title match with heavyweight Cham pion Rocky Marciano, makes his Los Angeles debut Wednesday night and is heavily picked to use aging Freddie Beshore . for a punching bag for the benefit of the local fans and . a national televi sion audience.

Then the Chicago Cutie evened the count with a series c," spec tacular whip wrist locks, fol lowed by his pet and punishing arm swivel Pederson. had Engstrom on the run in No. 3 before the latter pitched Eric from the ring. When Pederson got back to the rine apron to apply another full nel son while still outside the ring, he was cdunted out by Referee George Drake, and Engstrom, al though somewhat battered, was declared winner. Pederson got a good punch or two in on Ref Drake before he departed the premises. Lindsey also used a full nelson to spill Kruskamp in the -first fall of their squabble, after which the veteran and bald Kruskamp tied it up with a leg binder and nan craD. wnen KxusKamp re peatedly got rough in the final fall, Lindsey grew more and more angry. Finally he knocked Krus-j kamp from the ring, stomped him i good, manhandled Ref Drake and 1 wound up disqualified.

In last night's only prelim Danny McDonald got the only fall in a 30-minute sizzler with Red Vagnone.

NEW YORK IB The race be tween Notre Dame and Maryland for the season's No. 1 rating in college football becomes closer as the other teams eliminate them selves from contention. Those two teams, the only major powers still undefeated and un tied this season, rounded up 133 of the 151 first place votes cast in the eighth weekly Associated Press ranking poll. And Maryland's posi tion in the balloting continued to grow stronger as the Terrapins con tinued to win over increasingly strong opposition. - Notre Dame, an easy winner over North Carolina, remained on top of the list, where it has been all season, with 93 first place votes and a total of 1,404 points on the usual basis of 10 for first place, nine for second, etc. But Maryland, which made well regarded Mississippi look like an other soft touch, moved within 60 points of the lead with 42 firsts and 1,344 points. This struggle may be resolved next Saturday when Notre Dame plays Iowa and Maryland encoun ters Alabama. By whipping Min nesota, the surprising Iowa team earned 20th place in the ratings. Alabama, a 13-6 winner over the Georgia. Tech team that was rated fifth a week ago, just missed a spot in the first ten teams. Tech Slips Georgia Tech was one of three teams which lost their high rank ings of last week. Tech slipped from fifth to 12th. West .Virginia its eighth to 19th and Baylor, rank ed ninth before it took a 37-7 shel lacking from Hdustion, didn't get placed in the first 20 this week. Illinois, still a candidate for the Big Ten championship and he Rose Bowl bid, remained in the top ten despite a 34-7 whipping from Wisconsin. From third place, the Illini went down to seventh. The old favorites which took their losses earlier then went back to winning, turned up in the higher places in the general reshuffling of the rankings. Michigan State, last year's national champion, moved back to third with an im presssive 1.091 point totaL Orange Bowl bound Oklahoma, clinching the Big Seven title, took over fourth with UCLA fifth.
