Plg ZB EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, Friday, Dec. 21, 1962 The Sports Wire To Clown From AP Reports - To clown or not to clown. That's the problem the Los An Igeles Lakers face tonight as they meet the S. Louis Hawks in a National Basketball Association (NBA) game. , Harry Gallatin, coach of the Hawks, is very much per turbed by the antics that Laker back-court veteran Hot Rod Hundley employed Wednesday night as the Lakers humbled St. Louis, 135-106. : ( "It was travesty on the game," said Gallatin. ''The en tertainment is the game itself, not some guy trying to rub salt into our wounds. "Maybe tbey feel they have to go Hollywood out there but It was strictly bush and don't bet it won't backfire on them." Hundley, who cut loose with some fancy ball handling, passing and shooting at the exhortation of the fans, teemed amused at Gallatin's remarks. "The only clowns I saw on the floor were the Hawks," he said. "Maybe we should start the entertainment earlier to night." Gallatin, however, said there is danger that others in the NBA may try to emulate Hundley, former West Virginia star. "Next thing you know, we're going to have Globetrotter basketball. Hundley used to be a good player, but I wonder how he feels, relegated to the role of a clown, tossed in at the end of a game to put on a-show? He should be in the movies. There's no place for him In pro basketball." ' Laker general manager Lou Mohs disagreed with Gallatin. "Hundley's not a clown. He's a fine player," said Mohs. "I think Harry's just unhappy over his team's play and is try ing to fire them up for tonight's game. If the Hawks don't want Hundley to clown they should make the game close."

The Chicago meet had added luster this year because it was the first test of President Ken nedy's call for a truce in the 2V4-year feud between the Ama teur Athletic Union (AAU) and the National Collegiate Athletic Assn. (NCAA) backed U.S. Track Federation. The meet was the first jointly sanctioned by both groups.

Cincinnati didn't take a solid lead until lata in the game when George Wilson blocked a Dayton field goal try and then scored two quick baskets, Riv ing the Bearcats a 40-32 lead. Bonhnm was held to eight points, but Tom Thacker broke through for 21, leading both teams. He got all but seven of Cincinnati's first half points as the Bearcats had to struggle to stay even.

BUICK IS THE CAR for YOU IN '63 SCHERER or Not football. That is, provided he decides on the American Foot ball League (AFL). It was reported Thursday by columnist Mclvin Durslag of the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner that the San Diego Chargers of the AFL, who made Baker their 12th round draft choice, might not care to enter into a price war with the Los Angeles Rams of the National Football League (NFL). Baker was the first round pick of the Rams, last place team in the NFL. The Chargers, Durslag reported, might be interested in making a deal for ' the Ail-American quarterback with the Oakland Raiders. Oakland, last in the league standing as well as being the worst crowd-drawing team, could use a player of Baker's stature. - The Chargers, it was pointed out by Durslag, have an es tablished quarterback in John Hadl and might be more inter ested in bidding against the Rams for another rookie, Ben Wilson, USC fullback. One-Punch Knockout Dynamite Murphy, 63, scored a smashing, one-punch TKO early Thursday. The oldtime bantam and featherweight contender, now a bar owner, decked a would-be robber who grabbed him as he was walking to his apartment shortly after 2 a.m. The assailant wobbled to his feet and fled in a waiting car. Dynamite Murphy's name outside the ring is Phonce Lazzari.

The cross bar at the Uni versity of Chicago Ficldhouse then was raised to 16-1 one half inch above the world in door record. Meyers cleared the cross bar without brushing it amid an excited roar from the spectators. The approved record is 16- set by John Uelses of the Ma rines in Boston last Feb. 3. Meyers' best showing in com petition had been 15-3. He achieved this height last year in tying for the national collegiate title at Eugene, Ore. - v Meyers, after his record vault, hurried to a telephone at the field house and called his 22- Rematch Slated By Relay Teams AUCKLAND, New Zealand Wi The world record holding Oregon University four-mile relay team will meet the New Zealand team again.

He also reminded boat own ers this week that certificates of number issued in 1960 will expire during the coming year. Owners will receive a notice from the marine board approxi mately three weeks before the number expires. Rittcnhouse also noted that simplification of registration re quirements will be sought dur ing the next sesion of the state legislature. The marine board will ask for revision of state law so that tho number certifi cate, which is issued on a three year basis, and the annual boat license could be combined. This would cut administra tive cost and eliminate some of the confusion about tho two re quirements, the director said. There would be no Increase in registration fees.

Tho Tigers of the Big Eight Conference beat the Rambling Wrecks of the Southeastern Con ference to Houston by 20 min utes Thursday as their chartered planes converged on the game site. They aren't expected to be that far apart Saturday. Mis souri, with a 7-1-2 season, gave up an average of only 5.2 points per game. Tech (7-2-1) was al most as stingy. The Bluebonnet is the first of the big-crowd games on the post-season slate. Two other Bowl games are on the Saturday card, the Tangerine Bowl (Miami of Ohio vs. Houston) at Jacksonville, Fla., and the North-South game at Miami. Some 60,000 are expected at Houston, 50,000 at Miami and 15.000 at Jacksonville. The Bluebonnet will be televised by CBS starting at noon PST, and the North-South at 12:30 p.m. by ABC. The odds-makers soy the Houston Oilers arc a touchdown favorite for Sunday's American Football League championship game at Houston but statistics on the two regular season games with the Dallas Texans Indicate the game should be a toss-up. The weekend is a warmup for the packed yearend schedule ahead that includes: Dec. 29: (lator Bowl (Penn State vs. Florida) at Jackson ville, Fla.; East-West Shrine tiatne at San Francisco; Blue Gray at Montgomery, Ala.; All American Howl (Major college stars vs. Small college stars) at Tucson, Ariz.

The winner will be announced during the associations' con vention in Los Angeles Jan. 6 9. Shoots Small, Scores Big Loyola's sizzling Ramblers, averaging almost 111 points in six successive basketball victories, are scoring big because they are shooting "small." During six weeks of practice, coach George Ireland had his Loyola club firing at a 15-inch hoop. The standard circum ference is 18 inches. The Ramblers didn't pry the smaller rims from their regu lar baskets until three days before their first ganje, Dec. 1. What followed were runaway victories over Christian Broth-' ers, 114-59; North Dakota, 110-56; Wisconsin of Milwaukee, 107-47; South Dakota, 105-58, and Western Michigan, 123-102. That gained Loyola No. 4 ranking in the Associated Press national poll, but Wednesday night the Ramblers erased away flash-in-the-pan suspicious by whipping the Big Ten's Indian 106-94 on the Hoosier court.

HI George King, basketball coach of West Virginia'i nationally seventh ranked Mountaineers, thinks it would take a miracle for his team to win this year's Univer sity of Kentucky Invitational Tournament. " o ' The tournament, the nation's richest holiday classic, gets un der way tonight with West Vir ginia meeting Oregon State in the opening contest and ninth ranked Kentucky playing Iowa in the second game. The win ners play for the championship Saturday night. "I would like nothing better than to win the championship," King said, "but I don't know whether our team can stay up mentally two nights in a row. "And we'll really have to be up for Oregon State tonight. "I haven't slept for a week just worrying about how to jstop Mel Counts," King said. "I guess we'll just have to let him go and try to make up for it else where. Counts, the Beavers' seven foot star, is averaging 29.7 points in four games. King's team has lost only to third-ranked Ohio State 62-54, but he said, "The three teams we have beaten were something else less than national powers. This tournament will be a good yardstick to what we'll be able to do this season." Rod Thorn, West Virginia's All-America candidate, will be back; in the starting lineup. He missed the Richmond game Dec. 11 with an ankle injury. Slats Gill, veteran Oregon State coach, said present plans call for him to start Heisman Trophy winner Terry Baker. Baker, who quarterbacked the Oregon State football team to a 6 0 Liberty Bowl victory over Villanova last Saturday, joined the team for practice this week. "He's coming along just fine," Gill said, "and I certainly plan to start him. He's a real inspira tion." Iowa Coach Sharm Scheuer man said his team came to Lex ington expecting to give Ken tucky the fight of its life "and things haven't changed since we arrived. "Our team wants to be in that second game tomorrow night," Scheuerman said. Oregon State brings a 2-2 rec ord into tournament play, Iowa is 2-2 and Kentucky 3-2. m SCHARPF'S TWIN OAKS Patrttculirly sultd for ovrhing cutting and li tawmg jobs don from icaffoidt or on framing work.

Cap in Ring Chicago Cubs infielder Ernie Banks, the National League's Most Valuable Player in 1958 and 1959, is tossing his hat no, his cap into politics, he said Thursday as he listed several objectives he has for 1963. One would be to win the post of alderman in his home eighth ward in Chicago's South Side. "I'd like to then help at least one boy to something better, maybe get to college," Banks said. "And I'd like to play in the World Series." Banks jsays the tampaignlng will not interfere with his baseball career. This will be his first venture into politics. "I've never run for anything except first base or against the Dodgers," the 31-year-old Banks observed. Training Site Protested . The Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) asked the Balti more Colts Thursday not to return to Westminster, Md., for pre-season training next year because of the town's segregated facilities. CORE told Don Kcllett, executive vice president of the National Football League (NFL) club, that Negro players on the team resent being confined to the training camp because of segregation policies in places of public accommodation. The Colts have trained at the Western Maryland College campus since the NFL franchise returned to Baltimore in 1953, CORE and other integrationist groups have conducted sit-in demonstrations in recent months in protest of segregated eating places. , Kellett said a copy of the letter has been sent to Carroll 1 Rosenbloom, owner of the Colts, and that they would sit down and discuss the problem.
