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

the National Collegiate Athletic
Assn. (NCAA) backed U.S.
Track Federation.
The meet was the first jointly
sanctioned by both groups.

with him.

Dayton clamped a lid on Ron

sluggish Bearcats by a single

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

Bonhnm was held to eight
points, but Tom Thacker broke

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.

On Boat Fees
The 1963 boat license for
pleasure or commercial craft
may be obtained now from the
Oregon State Marine Board at
Salem, according to Director
Bob Rittcnhouse.
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.

Br ASSOCIATED PRESS
Missouri Friday had a de
cision over Georgia Tech, its
Bluebonnet Bowl opponent, by
the narrow margin that is ex
pected to separate the two de
fensive-minded teams after their
football game Saturday at Rice
Stadium in Houston.
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

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.
Loyola has an even bigger obstacle to hurdle Saturday
night in the Chicago Stadium against undefeated Seattle (5-0),
ranked No. 10 in the AP poll. - .

team to win this year's Univer

Tournament. " o
' The tournament, the nation's
richest holiday classic, gets un

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

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.

Slats Gill, veteran Oregon
State coach, said present plans
call for him to start Heisman

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

tucky the fight of its life "and
things haven't changed since we

Tosses Hat ... 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. '
