PHILADELPHIA UFi Army and
Navy the nation's greatest offen
sive football teams meet Saturday
in a game that figures to be so
close and unpredictable that even a
scoreless tie wouldn't be too big a
surprise.
Off the records it should be an
exciting free-scoring game be

Wolves Lose
Hoop Opener
SEATTLE (JFi The Seattle Pa
cific Falcons breezed to a 74-66
win over the Oregon College of
Education Wolves in a season bas
ketball opener here Friday night.
The local five was led by a pair
of little men, Ivan Gish and Loren
Anderson, who kept the visitors
back on their heels much of the
game. Gish, whistled out on fouls
with 3:41 to play, piled up 18
points; Anderson carried the brunt
of the second-half scorings duties,
getting a total of 15.
Three other Falcons scored double-digit
totals accounting for most
of the winners' total. The final
score was not indicative of the
ease with which the Falcons held
off the Wolves, as there were from
12 to 18 points - separating the
teams through most of the game.
Three Wolves, Larry Chamber
lain, Ron Jones and Bob Janes,
flipped in most f OCE's points.
Chamberlain and Jones got 17 each
and Janes 14. Fifteen of Cham
berlain's points were in the second
half.
Halftime score was 37-27.

OSAA Acts
On Playoffs
PORTLAND tn The Oregon
School Activities Assn. agreed Fri
day to survey high school sports
playoffs.
The survey plan was approved
after Bob Dusenberry, principal of
Cottage Grove High, withdrew his
earlier motion aimed at abolishing
football playoffs entirely.
Virgil Kingsley, superintendent
ef schools at Cottage Grove, will
bead the survey of individual
school boards-to get recommenda
tions on the matter of playoffs,
The entire playoff program foot
ball, basketball, baseball, track
and other sports will be included
ln Ihe survey.
In the discussion which followed
Dusenberry's original motion, it
developed that many school offi
; rials opposed the present playoff
program because it requires them
" to "tailor their schedules" in foot
ball and baseball.
The playoff .committee will re
port to a special OSAA session
next spring at Corvallis.
Delegates also approved revi
sion of the OSAA constitution ; to
allow representation on the board
of control of three class 1-A dele
gates; two class 2-A delegates and
. two class B delegates.
Under the revised constitution.
there will be champions deter
mined in all three classifications
l-A, 2-A and B in all major
sports except baseball where 2-A
district winners will continue inter
district ; playoffs with , A-l clubs
. prior to the state tournament.
In the past, there has been only
two cnampions named in the state
track meet at Corvallis. Plans for
changes in the basketball tourna
ment were made last spring and
become effective in 1956, follow-
in? realignment of some districts,
Delegates also: ,
Increased the pay for game of
ficials by $2.50. Class 1-A schools
will pay $15, 2-A schools $12.50,
and B schools $10. ,
Heard a report that the organ
ization showed the largest profit
in history for the past year $30,
353.77. -Decided
that football and basket
ball jamborees would not count as
games. Football games are limited
to nine regular season games and
basketball teams to 22 regular
season games.

Perez was outweighed 111 to

the stamina and power.
Perez floored Shirai with a
vicious left uppercut in the 12th
round and battered him around the
ring at will in the last four rounds
to overcome a substantial early
point lead set up by the heavier,
rangier Shirai.
Shirai had no excuses. Thorough

manager when the verdict was an

manager, Dr. Alvin Cahn, said:
"Even a champion must lose some

The decision was unanimous.

Japan's point system. Judge Bill

Judge Kuniharu Hayashl of Japan

Perez.
A rematch was percolating. Cahn

Troy Expects
Rough Game

Southern California can find any
comfort in meeting Notre Dame
Saturday it may be in knowing
things won't be much. rougher in

The Trojans are in the midst of
running the gantlet against three
of the nation's top four teams in
the Associated Press poll.
Unfortunately for Jesse Hill's
men of Troy it can be presumed
fourth-ranked Notre Dame will try
to improve on the 34-0 drubbing
handed USC last Saturday by sec
ond-ranked UCLA and leave top-
ranked Ohio State something to
shoot at New Year's Day. .
The Irish last Saturday reached
a peak performance with a 34-18
trimming of Iowa a team defeated
in midseason by Ohio State 20-14.
Although Notre Dame a two
touchdown favorite against the
twice-defeated Trojans doesn't end
its season until the following Sat

Saturday's play.

Luby Returns Home
After 'Talent Tour'
Salem Senators general mana
ger Hugh Luby has returned from
his brief but busy "talent tour" in
California, and announced Friday
that he had talked with officials of
the Sacramento, San Francisco
and Oakland Coast League clubs
and had secured what will probably
the spring training site for. the
1955 Senators, in Napa.
"I made no official tieups with
any of the clubs I visited," Luby
told, "but I feel that we may be
able to secure young players from
them when the time comes."
Luby talked with Damon Miller.
general manager of the San Fran
cisco Seals and both Eddie Mulli
gan and Charley Graham, the top
officials in the Sacramento organi-
2ation.
As for Napa as the training site
for the Senators, the city is located
60 miles from Sacramento and 40
miles from San Francisco. A new
baseball park, with lights, is be
ing erected there, and Luby feels
that spring training in that area
will give him a good chance to look
over many player prospects with
out having to pay costly transpor
tation bills.
Luby also intends to contact both
Bill Starr of the San Diego Padres
and Dewey Soriano of the Seattle
Rainiers for possible player help
for the '55 season.
The general manager will now
go to work as a salesman for the
Doug McKay Chevrolet firm here.
