Unknown Wins Tirsf Race' ARCADIA, Calif. (U.R) An un known four-year-old named Lion came splashing out of the mud to score the first stakes victory of his career in winning the $28,650 Santa Catalina handicap at Santa Anita. Lion, owned by a Seattle, Wash., businessman who claimed him a year ago for $10,000, ran down the favored Moonrush in the stretch and drew away in the slow, sloppy going to win by two and a half lengths. In the first half of the double stakes program witnessed by 34, 000 racing fans despite a drench ing rain, James N. Crofton's Spe cial Touch survived a foul claim to retain her two and a half length victory in the $23,100 Santa Maria handicap over the favored Next Move.

The Nationals, gaining revenge for a 28-27 setback in the first 46 upset victory over the rangy j Pro-Bowl game a year ago, turn University of Idaho Vandals The Cougars, paced by Forward Eric Roberts' 25 points, connected with 43 per cent of their tries from the field and plugged up the Idaho keyhole with a menacing defense to break up the Vandal attack. Hartley Kruger, Idaho center and high scorer with 14 points, was so effectively checked in the second half he connected with only four points of that total. Kruger s second half perform ance keynoted the Vandal down fall. They scored only six points in the last two quarters and went scoreless in the last five minutes. Meanwhile, a third quarter rally sent the Cougars in front for commanding 50-41 lead at the end of the period. Roberts scored five of his total during the uprising.

But it was that long haul, begun in a downpour and mud late in the third period that sent Coach Joe Stydahar's Nationals from behind a 13-10 deficit and on to victory. Waterfield hit Hirsch, his All- Pro teammate of the Los Angeles Rams, for gains of 17 and 9, and then unleashed a 21-yard throw to the enemy two yard line.

BAUGH FUMBLES Veteran Sammy Baugh of the Washington Redskins, sent into the muddy struggle in the closing minutes to replace Otto Graham of Cleveland, was the victim of two bobbles with the soaked ball. . Twice he fumbled and twice the winners tallied. Leo Nomellini, 270-pound San Francisco lineman, picked up one of the Baugh fumbles and ran. 20-yards for the score. The second PORTLAND, Ore. (U.R) Bigger salmon catches are in store lor Oregon fishermen in 1952, accord ing to tentative angling regula tions announced by the state game commission. The commission establishes summer salmon angling regula tion governing a period of July 1 to October 12 for the Columbia River, exclusive of tributaries. Bag limit will be two fish over 24 inches in length, plus four salmon between 12 and 24 inches daily. Possession or weekly limits will be four fish over 24 inches and eight between 12 and 24 inches. At other times of the year the regular, steelhead and salmon rules (bag limit two fish and four in possession) will apply. OPENING DATES As for the state's trout season, the commission held to dates ap proximately those of last year, with two new openings.

Basketball fans are probably unaware of the NCAA formula for crediting rebounds. It is the common belief that rebounds are credited only by possession of the ball after a missed shot directly off the rim or backboard but this is not true. There are times, but not very often, that a rebound is credited after the ball bounces off the floor. Unless the "re bound" is tied up by several op ponents, there is a rebound credit on every missed shot, There are times, however, when a ball bounces back and forth and sev.

The rest of the state, with the exception of Lake County, will open for trout fishing on May 3. Lake County will open May 20. A uniform closing date for trout fishing was set for Oct. 12. LIMITS SET Bag limits for trout remain the same as last year 10 per day, not more than five of which may be 12 inches or over, and 20 fish in possession. Most high Cascade lakes in na tional forest areas will open May 30 and close Sept. 30. The commission designated 33 miles of the North Umpqua river as fly fishing only waters.

Bob Rich. ards his first defeat in 51 track meets. In two other feature events in the Washington Evening Star Games, Don Gehrmann, easily ran away with the mile race in 14:14, and Horace Ashenfelter, an FBI man, won the two-mile in meet record time of 9:05.

California, meanwhile, got back into the race by defeating Stanford 72-63. Bear Guard Jim Doan had his best night of the year as he scored 23 points for California. Although the UCLA Bruins led throughout the contest, the Trojans were in contention the final two quarters and trailed by two points with four minutes to go. But the Bruins, using three re serves after regulars Johnny Moore, Don Bragg and Mike Hib ler were ejected for five personal fouls, dumped in 10 quick points to pull away and coast to victory, Big Bob Boyd, Trojans center, was high point man with 23, fol lowed by Bruins' Don Johnson, 18, and Kon Livingston, 15. Swede Does It MOLALLA (fP) Wade Hal brook, 7-foot 1 center, poured in 66- points here Saturday nlcht to smash the Oregon High School individual basketball scoring record. Halbrook, playing for Lincoln of Portland, scored all but 11 of his team's points in a 77-26 victory over Molalla. He surpassed the mark of 52 points set earlier this week by Johnny Frederick Jr., of Tigard. Breezes In NEW YORK (P) Fred Wilt of the New York Pioneer Club breezed home in 4:14.6 Saturday night to capture the mile run in the Metropolitan AAU Senior Track and Field Championships for the second straight year. NCAA Restricts Spring Drills CINCINNATI (JP) The Na tional Collegiate Athletic Associa tion rebuffed the college presidents in one respect Saturday, but in many others brought its own pro gram closer in line with the pro posals of the 11-man National Council on Education Committee. The NCAA delegates firmly re jected legislation which would have outlawed spring football practice and out-of-season basket ball drills. Instead, they re stricted such practices to 20 ses sions in each sport. They altered their principle governing financial aid to ath letes, putting such aid more se curely under control of the in dividual institutions and they adopted a principle calling for sound academic standards. The NCAA merely called for further study of post -season games by a special committee and meanwhile placed a ban on mak ing new commitments for such games to be played after Jan. 2 1953. It also turned down an effort to eliminate the "platoon system" from football by means of restric tive rules. Hugh C. Willett of Southern California was re-elected presi dent of the NCAA. The convention adopted by a vote of 136 to 8 the NCAA tele vision committee's recommenda tion for a controlled program in 1952. This means a limited num. ber of games for viewers, the ex act amount to be determined by a' special committee.

Not even the turnabout of Leo Durocher who turned "nice" and won a pennant, nor the South western College of Kansas football coach's refusal of his team's win ning touchdown, could come close to matching the story of little Eddie. Eddie, in case you've forgotten, is the 3 foot, seven inch, 50-pound midget Bill Veeck pulled out of a cake and made into a big leaguer. The mite's short and hilarious career in the major leagues was the overwhelming choice of sports writers and sportscasters as the sports oddity of the year in the Associated Press' annual year end poll. 31 : 1 49 1 t was recovered by the Nationals on the four, and Doak Walker passed to Hirsch for the tally. , The Americans, coached oy Paul Brown of Cleveland, scored first when Graham connected with his Brownie teammate, Dub Jones, on a 44-yard scoring pass; Waterfield, given an opportunity through a 31-yard run by Ram fullback Dan Towler, put the Na tionals on the board with a 30 yard field goal in the first quarter. VAN PASSES HIT i The magic of Cleveland's Lou Groza sent the Americans into a 13-3 lead. Groza sent one field goal sailing from 45 yards out. He kicked another from a slanty Jl yards away after a Norman Van Brocklin pass had been intercept ed and raced back to the six-yard mark by Tackle Paul Lipscomb, Washington. Van Brocklin, of the Rams, re deemed himself before the half ended by flipping one to Bobby Hoernschemeyer for 42 yards and then followed with a two-yard touchdown flip to San Francisco'i Gordy Soltau.

Robinson to Fight Bobo Moore First SAN FRANCISCO (U.R) Mid. dleweight Champion Ray Robin son's manager telegraphed assur ance that Sugar Ray would fight Carl "Bobo" Moore in San Fran cisco before taking on Rocky Graziano in Chicago and suggested Feb. 14 for the match. The champ had been scheduled to meet Olson in San Francisco for a defense of his title on Jan. 24, but called off the fight on a plea his mother was too sick for him to leave New York. BURGH'S ANNUAL MID-WINTER SALE ENDS TUESDAY JAN. 15th AT 1060 WILLAMETTE .y SPOUTS BmnLELFS ILLINI ROLL ON ANN ARBOR, Mich. P) Illi nois' unbeaten Big Ten defending champions easily downed Michi gan 67-51 for the Illini'i tenth victory of the lesson. ANDREA MEAD LAWRENCE won the women's Swiss giant sla lom but she was the only Ameri can who did anything noteworthy. Meanwhile George Macomber, U. S. Olympic hopeful, suffered a probable broken leg in a down hill run. It still looks like JOE WAL COTT and KID MATTHEWS or ROCKY MARCIANO in a title fight. Joe needs the money, and his managers figure a fight against either Matthews or Marciano would gross over a million, while a return battle with Ezzard Char les would probably not net over a $250,000 gate. Walcott is com mitted to meet Charles, however, unless he can get a release from the ex-champion. The PORTLAND BEAVERS may try to help Victoria of the WIL league, which is in shaky financial condition. PAUL BROWN, coach of the Cleveland Browns, says the days of a T-formation quarterback who doesn't carry the ball is coming to a close. The spread formation is taking a hold, and cal for a running back. JOE MATESIC, ex Big-Ten tackle for Indiana, played last year for Arizona State under his brother's name, the school presi dent revealed. CALIFORNIA will open against College of Pacific on Sept. 20, 1952, in football. TOMMY RYAN, manager of Rocky Castallani, who assaulted referee Ray Miller and match maker Al Weill after his fighter was knocked out Friday night, may face criminal charge for as sault, in addition to having his license revoked. JOE LOUIS told a Los Angeles sports writer he is through with boxing, although the official an nouncement won't come until later. SEATTLE'S Johnny O'Brien has a 27 point average, which puts him just a shade behind the small college leader Harmon Hoffman of Brooklyn Poly who has 27.1. SYRACUSE is the highest scoring team In the nation with 84 points per contest, followed by Kentucky with 83. Oklahoma is toughest on defense. JOHNNY O'BRIEN regained his shooting eye for Seattle Univer sity Saturday night as he led the Chieftains to an 89-64 victory over Gonzaga, scoring 29 points. MULTNOMAH CLUB swim mers defeated OSC 42-35. Pete Van Dijk, ex-Oreaon swim star, won three firsts for the MAC team in the freestyle sprints. Is Your Car On Crutches?
