Corcoran was kayoed in a brief battle with Metz that bids fair to split the ranks of the proies sional golfing contingent. Next stop on the winter tour is the $10,000 Richmond, Cal., open. For knocking over first money in the pro-amateur division, Snead collected $1000 and his amateur partner, Kelly, got a radio. Among the other leaders in the pro-amateur division were Al Zimmerman, Portland, Ore., and Marvin Bud Ward, Spokane, Wash., both with 199. HIGHLIGHTS By DEWEY BAT fwrable has certainly dogged the Cottage Grove High basketball n far this season. Coach Bob Dusenberry started off the nre- VZZ uhedule by working a pair of Navy veterans, Gerry and Her- tjla Wltherspoon, in the starting lineup, only to find, just before Christmas, mai Ule uuys weie just luur mays luu uia 10 compeie. ine givers had already been reckoned as somewhat less than a threat u. tk District race because only one of last year's starting lineurj mi back, Virgil Newton. . v. In the first district game, which the Grove team lost to Junction City, Bob Kanel, a letterman, was out of action along with a couple other valuable players. Everything was O. K. for the Elmira game md the Lions came up with a victory but Friday night against Eu gene nlgn Daa lucil mt iuaciiucn jr g squaa again, ixewion, who naa md 21 DOints in the Elmira game, was injured in a manual train ing shop accident the day of the game and was unable to play. His mence in the lineup might have made a difference since the Axe ten were having their hands full until late in the game. Eugene's Gene Miner almost missed the game too. He missed the bm that took -the team to Cottage Grove. Keith Welch was supposed o pick him up and take him to the high school to meet the bus but ipparently forgot or was not informed. Welch, who often replaces Stoer in the lineup, denied that he purposely forgot. Miner arrived fij mother conveyance, however, in time to play. Llhs Springfield Millers came back from a 81-46 lacing at the ida of Bend and warned other Blx-SIx teams to be prepared for k fcutlcally different mode of officiating when playing the Lava Been on their home court. The Millers say that Corvallis, also beiten by Bend at Bend, have already experienced some of the hams. That pall of smoke over Corvallis is said to be emanatine Jjrom Spartan Coach Fred Osborn who is still burning. Tile score in the springfleid-Bend game at the end of the third kuarter was tied up at 36-all. Bend scored 13 points in the last three IU a nau minutes oi tne game. Bend is now out in front in the Big-Six race with three victories and one defeat, followed by Albany tod Salem with two victories and one defeat. Eugene has won one land lost one. Word from Roseburg; Is that the Indiana are definitely no lonaer tahretted In the Tri-County League, always a football setup. The new tltrnment of state football districts puts Boseburg In with Marsh- Held. North Bend, Coquille, Grants Pass and other Southwestern Oregon schools and the Indiana will schedule most of their games in that sector. Newport ana Toledo are ootn interested in the Tri County circuit but it is unlikely that anything will be done toward re-organizing the league until coaches and school officials get togeth er for the state basketball tournament here in March. Coach Dusenberry of Cottase Grove says that a Drooosal mav be nude calling for a nine-team league Including Cottage Grove, Uni win, Leoanon. aweet Home, wewnort. Toledo. Junction Cltv. St. Mary's and Elmira. Teams would not play a round-robin schedule. Cottage Grove, Uni High and Toledo, as the probable top three teams would meet only one of the last three, Junction City, Elmira and St. Muy'i, each year. It would call for some complicated schedule miking but it might be worked out for a couple of years until Siu- uaw, oakrldge and perhaps some other Lane county "U" League ichooli are ready for 11-man football. Another idea might be to have two separate leagues with some of line same teams participating in Doth circuits. Thus Sweet Home, Toledo and Newport could compete In a league with Cottage Grove. uni Hign ana Lebanon ana in another league with Junction, city, El. fflira and St. Mary's.

Eugene will be trying to get back into the thick of the Big- Six race with a victory over Corvallis and the Springfield Millers will be seeking their first Big-Six victory against the strong Vikings. All games are set for 8 p.m. NBA Urges Zivic To Hang Up Gloves WASHINGTON; Jan. 13 (U.B As the National Boxing Associa' tion issued quarterly ratings on the world's boxers Monday, it sug gested that 33-year-old Fritzie Zivic hang up his gloves; for he 'is working serious harm on the sport by his unsatisfactory per formances." The ratings disclosed a record of five "logical contenders" in the middleweight division and a con trasting record of none in the heavyweight and welterweight classes. At the same time, the comments of Abe J. Greene, president of the NS.A., disclosed that' Zivic, ex- welterweight champion, "leaves a trail of dissatisfied fans behind" his bouts. Greene's statement recalled that Pittsburgh Fritzie had retired many months ago, "conceding his best days were past"; but he re cently returned to the ring and has been able to cash in on his name. Greene said, "It is conceded that perhaps Zivic, as a master of the art of the foil, is able to spar his way out of physical harm s way. but in so doing, he leaves a trail of dissatisfied fans behind. "This is not to be construed as a reflection on Zivic personally. On the contrary, it is designed to act as a check rein on an old fire- horse still responding to the sound of the bell." HAVANA SPECIAL HOLLYWOOD The Brooklyn training, base in Havana has Leo Durocher talking pennant. When the Dodgers came down in front in 1641. they started from the Hotel Nacional. OSC-Oregon Tiff Scis Records Coach Howard Hobson's Uni versity of Oregon Webfoots, beat en in two out oi their three Norm era Division starts, are determined to boom back in the championship race here Friday night in the second of four meetings this sea son with the Oregon State Beavers. A flock of records were estab lished at Corvallis Saturday night, but Oregon was on the short end of a 73-69 score in an overtime contest. It was the second straight overtime tilt between the two "civil' war" rivals, the Webfoots taking a 42-41 decision in an extra period at Corvallis at the close of the 1945-46 season, knocking the Beavers out of the championship race. The 142-point total Saturday bettered by eight points the pre' vious aggregate record total in the conference topping Oregon s 68' 65 triumph-over Washington State in Eugene last season. It also shattered the previous Oregon- OSC scoring mark that had pre' viously stood at 106 points, OSC's 55-51 victory in 1945. Neither the Webfoots nor the Beavers had ever scored as many points against each other. Highest previous points were 59 by OSC and 53 by Oregon, both last season. Although no statistics were available, the 52 personal fouls and two technicals called against the two teams were believed 'to have been new conference marks along with Oregon State's 16 consecutive freethrows made good. The gift shots were extremely in strumental in the final outcome with field goals being even at 24 each. OSC made an amazing to tal of 25 out of 29 freethrows while Oregon hit 21 out of 33. Little Stan Williamson, whose fifth field goal put Oregon ahead 66-64 in the opening minute of the overtime, remained among the league's individual scoring leaders with 16 points a total of 46 for three games. It appears unlikely that Hobson will shift his lineup for the Friday night game in view of Oregon's "moral victory" showing against an OSC team that was highly fa vored. Two other Oregon quintets will see action this week. Coach Ted Schopf's Oregon Frosh, who de feated Medford 33-28 Saturday night for the ninth straight win for the Ducklings, will play Salem High here Thursday and travel to Grants Pass Friday night. The Oregon J-V's, unbeaten in ten starts, play two City AAU games Monday and Wednesday -nights at McArthur Courf, and will travel to Corvallis Tuesday to engage the OSC J-Vs in the first of a four-game series. ' ' Three Teams Tied In Winter Golf Play Three teams went into a tie for first place In Laurelwood Winter Golf League play Sunday as play was handicapped by some real winter weather. The Sterling Furniture, Marketeria and the Allen-provost tandem have all won nine and lost three. Dom Provost, a new player re placing Harry Stahl, won individ ual honors with a 75 followed by Lloyd Omlid with a 76 and Red Omlid with a 77. Complete results and team standings to. date will be released Tuesday. Anti-Fix Law To Be Offered WASHINGTON, Jan. 13 (Pi Rep. Herbert (D-La), introduced legislation Monday setting out heavy penalities for attempts to bribe athletes and sports officials, asserting that "sports is big busi ness and the public must be pro. tected from the fixers, the chisel' ers and the grafters." Herbert said in a statement his action stemmed from "the recent professional football scandal in volving Alvin Paris for allegedly attempting to bribe Frankie Fil chock and Merle Hapes of the New York Giants." Paris was convicted in New York last week on the bribery charge. National League Com missioner Bert Bell now is study ing the future status of Filchock and Hapes in professional football, although both have been paid their full cut from the league cham pionship game. Herbert introduced a second measure covering only the Dis trict of Columbia, a bill patterned after the New York state statute under which Paris was prosecut ed. But his federal legislation the first, he said, of its kind ever presented is based on the pre mise that athletes and athletic teams come under the jurisdiction of the federal government "just as do interstate carriers, corpora, tions and trade unions." The federal statute covering in' terstate athletic contests would carry a penalty of up to ten years imprisonment and a $10,000 fine. The District cf Columbia measure would fix the maximum penalty at five years imprisonment and a fine of $10C0. v , . Duane Hoag Injured In Auto Accident PORTLAND, Jan. 13 m The scheduled bout between Duane Hoag, top Oregon bantam weight boxer, and Tony Roberts, ' Cana dian, at Salem January 22 has been postponed because of injury of Hoag in an accident here.

(Associated Press) The Portland Indians had a two and one-half game lead in the Pacific professional basketball league today with good prospects of widening the gap during the coming week. The Rose City five, which turned in a brace of wins over the threatening Seattle Blue Dev ils Saturday and Sunday, will meet cellar-dwelling Spokane twice and fifth-place Salem twic" during the next seven days. A', the same time, Belllngham, deadlocked with Vancouver in second place, will meet Seattle three times in what may turn out to be a dog-fight and Vancouver will take to the boards only once against Yakima in the Canadian city. Portland s twin win over Seattle came on counts of 64-51 Sunday and 63-37 the previous night. Yakima, which at one stage of the weekend had dropped to cellar standing, came back with a 61-59 triumph over Salem Sun day. Belllngham scored a 86-54 win over Vancouver to draw Into a second-place deadlock with the Canadians Saturday. It was the first game Vancouver had dropped on its home floor this season. Ross more frequently as Fox re ceived the favorable nod in each blistering round. Tony was down ed twice in the first round, each for the . count of three. Again Ross went down for the count of nine, but Fox hit the mat as the bell ended the second round. The ' third round ended with Ross down to the count of eight Fox issued a bewildering fistic bar rage in the final encounter as Ross staggered for some sort of support. The final bell prevented a KO. Bill Weidner held the command over Walt Achiu in the semi final but could not register a fall. Although the action was of clean science, the rugged com petition led to a contest of su preme endurance. Weidner's ef forts were abruptly halted in termittently by jiu jitsu. Such action held both critical and amusing reaction. Judo saved Walt from the dreaded airplane spin many times. The no-fall draw consisted of every situa tion imaginable. Jack Lipscomb won the special tussle in obscure fashion over Jack Poppenheimer. The Dutch man': graceful speed alerted the Hoosier so much the Lipscomb had little time for his customary loquacious stalling. Instead Lips comb was forced to settle down and prove his ability to cop with overwhelming odds. Poppenheim er's determination sparked his constant applications but his Im pressive agility was useless. Lips comb took the only fall in 11 minutes with a body press. Tex Porter and Billy McEuln opened the mat show with an un eventful no-fall draw. The ac tion was surprisingly pure with only a touch of subtle trickery. Colorful Ernie Piluso was ref eree for the entire program and preformed his duties with utmost efficiency. Hockey Results PACIFIC COAST LEAQUI San Diego 7, Oakland 1.
