Decision Is Awaited By Daseballers By (Hear Fraley NEW YORK, March 21 (U.PJ Organized Baseball faced a three and two pitch Monday as it tense ly awaited a federal court decision which will indicate the future fate of the much-maligned reserve clause and- of basebell itself.

Reserve Clause Issue '" Their fate actually isn't the major issue. The big factor is that such a ' -'- ruling would render the reserve clause powerless. Some believe , it virtually would assure perman ent destruction of the clause, which binds a player to the club ' ' which owns his contract from one ..ft- season to the next. This clause permits baseball to be attacked under the bnerman Anti-trust laws as a monopoly nntrnllinff rjlavers' lives. There can be little doubt that it is. But the court held that there is such a thing as a legal mon t opoly, so baseball faces the issue tr. hopefully. . . . v Judge Conger bostered this hope when he asked: it this reserve clause good or "J bad? If it is good the petitioners are out of luck." ? i had." araued John L.

"Any restraint which serves to help and build cannot be condemned. But the reaction of the hun Hrml of nlayers in organized baseball may be a tremendous ' factor when Conger hands down his decision. ' Flayer Favor In a poll taken by Dixie Walker of the Pittsburgh Pirates, player ' rem-esentative of the National iMmm. no team has raised a . voice against the reserve clause. All have favored it.

And, when i the day comes that they no longer can play In the big time, baseball players find It easier wun i association to continue earning a ' living in the minors, me way is imoothed. They are offered jobs which wouldn't come without the y ' contracts. , ' Urge 1-Man Board Th hla oinch is that, even in the majors, if a player doesn't want to work for the money 01 fered he cannot sell his services 1 ' elsewhere. The players have seized this op portunity to luggest that such salary disagreements are arbitrat ed by an Impartial three-man board. Acceptance by baseball's brass hats of this suggestion and vol untary reinstatement of the sus .pended players might have settled ' the whole issue. But If Judge Conger rules in favor of the suspended players you can expect this whole Issue to drag through the courts for years. Hugsted Captures Banff Ski Jumping BANFF.

The entire athletic staff participated . . . And Oden Hawes and other OSAA officials did a good job of directing, and proved very cooperative . . . Attendance might have dropped slightly over last year (this is only our guess, as official figures haven't been released yet) prob ably for two reasons . . . First, the absence of such teams as Astoria, and Klamath Falls from the tournament, and the fact that Salem, after the first night, was playing morning games . . . Salem always draws well . . . Also, having Junction City playing morning and afternoon games didn't help ... The second was the fact that the two Portland papers, wun state-wide circulation, didn't get a chance to drum-beat interest because of a strike ... But all-in-all, it was a big succe.f . . . And everyone seemed to have a good time, win or lose ...

Carl Kligel has made it from Pendleton for two years though we aren't quite sure how, unless he officiates games west of the moun tains also . , . There is nothing easier than to bicker at the officiating, but we honestly thought It was inferior to last year's which itself wasn't good . . . Certainly, It wasn't "state tournament calibre . . . Officials have to use their judgment, but we thought that at least four of the five in the tournament tried to use a rule-book interpretation every time which guy's back while scrapping foul . . . The poor kids became almost afraid to fight for the ball . . . And the boys weren't working toeether far too mnnv differences of opinion on important decisions including one game-winning basket in the Salem-LaGrande game . . . it We do feel convinced, however, that Junction would not have lost to Hillsboro had Jim and Leon Keefe not had four fouls, which prevented him from fight ing for the ball . . .

Kentucky Favored Illinois Gels Nod Over Yale Road Looks Rougher For Wildcats, Though NEW YORK, March 2! P Kentucky's try-agin boys make another stab as basketball glory , here tonight in the opening round ' of the NCAA playoffs. Once figured almost a shoo-in for both the National Invitation and NCAA titles the Kentuckians now will have to prove they can win under fire. They've been beaten only twice in 31 games this season, but the two they lost were the big ones. St. Louis whipped the Wild-1 cats by two points in the final oft the Sugar Bowl holiday tourna ment and Loyola of Chicago trounced them, 62-47, in the quar terfinal round of the National In vitation a week ago. Road Rough Almost nobody doubts that the Lexington Wildcats can get past the Villanova Wildcats (22-3) to- nignt. nut tne road ahead cer tainly doesn't look as smooth as it did a short week ago. The immediate stumbling block seems to be the University of Illinois, Big Nine champion with a 19-3 record. The Illini are favored to brush aside Yale (22-6) in the first game of tonight's doubleheader. The first round winners meet Tuesday night for the right to oppose Oklahoma A. and M. in the national finals at Seattle, Wash., Saturday. The second place team here also will travel west for a consolation engagement with Ore gon State, which lost to A. and M. at Kansas City Saturday night, 55-30, in the western final. Underdogs Yale and Villanova will feature the nation's two highest individual scorers among major colleges. Tony Lavelli, ace of the New Haven Blues, has averaged 22.7 noints in 28 nirrn Paul Arizin of Villanova has hit at the rate of 21.7 for 25 games. Thus, for the first time, tourna ment competition will determine the national scoring title. uespite its poor showing in the invitation, Kentucky is a 14 point favorite tonight. The experts figure the Wildcats can't look that bad twice in a row. Illinois is rated 10 points better than Yale. torm prevails the Yale-Illinois contest should be the closer of tonight's two Karnes. Illinois hasn't played in Madison Square Garden since 1940 when one Lou Boudreau, who now hangs out in Cleveland, was its ace. This time the club is led by Dwight Eddie man, a first string football player and a member of the U.S. Olympic ram last summer as a high jumper.

Newell had high praise for Cen ter Joe McNamee, whose guard ing helped hold Loyola of Chicago Ace Jack Kerris to five points in the 48-47 finale Saturday night, and for Don Lofgran, who tallied 20 points and was named the tourney's most valuable player. Newell was cautious about pre dictions for his team next year, but said the Dons would be back in Madison Square Garden for a game during the regular season.
