Sam, a ripping, snorting ball packer was the: shining light on the uckaroos' six-man aggregation which gained the State playoffs in the fall and he : showed so much stuff in the six-man sport that he's bound to be a big help to the Wests j in that coming eleven-man fracas . . . Also se lected for the squad is Rudy Herr of Brownsville, another six man whizz, who staged a sterling duel with Smith in the playoff quarter finals. ! j Walter O'Malley, prexy of dem Dodgers, says Brooklyn will have a new ball park in five years. Does that mean O'Malley will fol low through on his talk about an edifice that's include such ultra features as an adjustable roof for playing area and all? . . . This O'Malley idea created . quite a stir when it hit print a couple of years ago. Most scoffed and said such an eye-opener wouldn't be much sooner arriving than a trip to the moon . . . But what' a heaven-sent thing such a stadium would be in erasing schedule trafifc-jams caused by rain outs. The adjustable roof would make rain-checks a thing of the past . . . Open the roof on the sunkisti days and the balmy nights; shut it tight when the rain drops come L . . M'Goth! Same Old Game of freek Policy The NCAA people, evidently not overly blessed with the . ability to see the masses' side of things, aim to stick to the same old pattern in next fall's Game of the Week television schedule. That means schedules rigidly set up far ahead of time -and more 'griping like last season when most of the TV'd con tests had no more national interest; than a .game of mumbly . peg down in Pumpkin Corner j Why doesn't pro tennis have the lustre of its amateur brother? j Several reasons and firstly being what does it prove? You beat me one night and I beat you the next night and that goes on for maybe ; 150 nights .-.. Secondly, the current barnstorming troupe includes j 38-year-old Don Budge. Now Don was one of the greatest of 'em all j in his heyday, but it has been quite a few moons since his heyday . . . Thirdly, somebody will be named the champ when the extended tour is at arrend but he'll be a cheese champ since the best of 'em all. Jack Kramer, isn't even participating. Jack has tossed the racquet ! aside in fayor of promotional duties j, . . works wonders with the guys thai tramp up and down the maple courts. Most everyone relishes the hope that Kaintuck's Wildcats get knocked off one of these nights but. it would teem to be an idle hope . . . The Wildcats seem to have the magic formula once again ... Sublimity's Townie cage club they're called the Hawks has played a couple of doubleheaders this season. That's a practice not overly common among basketeers. Where do the boys get that extra energy? ...! Boston Ted' Ego Ranks Behind Others The ego of Ted Williams has! always been played to the skies, but that Korean stint must have mellowed Ted or else it was nothing but hot air in the first place . . . Whatever it be, Ted's name is not among those picked by baseball's scribes as , the most conceited in the Majors . ; . Some of the names might surprise you. There's Jackie Jensen, slated to be a new team mate of Williams' at Boston - next ! season (and won't Jackie's ego suffer embarrassment at comparison with Williams 'ex ploits). And there's Bob Lemon of Cleveland and Ted Gray of the Tigers and Saul Rogovin of Cincinnati. And then there are three names! that bring no surprise at all Billy Martin of the Yanks; Buck Newsom, the old war horse who's played with; virtually every club in the Big Show and Russ Meyer, the hot-tempered Brooklyn pitching ban . . . Martin, Newsom and Meyer never have been known as blushing violets ... Bevo .Francis, who jumped Rio Grande College from a non entity into a name, remains in the; stratosphere of pointmaking (43.5 average) and does it despite playing some bonafide and . tough competition . . . Bevo's field goals are manufactured almost entirely to a jump push shot as contrasted with the hooking done by the bulk of the big scorers nowadays. If Bevo had a Houbregs style hook to go along with his present equip ment, think of the possibilities . . . By BEN FUNK SARASOTA. Ha.! (J College football rules may be rewritten in an effort to' get rid of such prob lems as the "sucker shift." the fake injury and interference from the bench. The football rules committee of Rich Singes i Bowling Meet Onens Friday The First Annual ABC Sanction ed Open Singles bowling tourna ment is to get under way Friday of this week at the University Bowl, it was announced Tuesday. The tournament will run until midnight. May 31, and before it is completed officials expect around 1,500. entries to shoot fpr the ap proximate $5,000 in prizes. There will be three divisions in the tourney, (1) men bowlers with averages of 180 or over, with handi cap of 70 per cent of 200, 2 men bowlers with averages of 180 or un der, also with handicap of 70 per cent of 180, and (3) women bowl ers who are members of the Wom en's 1BC. They will be allowed 70 per cent of 180 as handicap, with a 30 pin limit. It is expected that many of the bowlers! who will participate in the national ABC tournament, as well as those who will be appear : ing in the forthcoming tourna ments at Albany and McMinnville. Full details of the local meet may be secured at the University Bowling Alleys. the National collegiate Athletic Assn., tackled these matters Tues mood to do something about them. "I think it is safe to say that some action will be taken on all three of these things in our final meeting Wednesday." said E. E. Weiman, committee secretary from the University of Denver, j The "sucker shift" a maneuver calculated to draw the, opposing teams offside in scoring territory, has been a problem for many years. It received wide publicity during the 1952 season when No tre Dame was accused of using it , . 5 Present rules provide a 13-yard penalty for any shift by the back field or any movement by the linemen which fakes the beginning of a play and pulls the opposition across the line before the ball is snapped. New Rale Needed f In last year's meetings at jSt Petersburg, Fla.. the rules com mittee decided that the situation was fully covered by the rule book and it was simply a matter of the officials calling it. Today the members apparently decided that some new rule was needed. The discussion on faked injuries was inspired by last season's No tre Dame-Iowa game. The Irish gained time to score a touchdown in the closing secondsofeachhalf Tommy Lewis, Alabama back, brought the problem of sideline interference into the headlines last New Year's Day when he rushed off the bench to tackle a Rice runner who seemed to be on ! his Sac. c,l Heart s trtirep SI Five Tonight ria The Sacred Heart Academy Car dinals, who have won six of their first string basketball games this season, tonight; play host to tne uoiumDia rren crusaders of Portland in a dash at the Salem Armory.
