The Sports Wi're Goal Frame Size Varies (From AP Reports) In professional hockey, the regulation size of a goal frame is four feet high and six feet wide. That's the area a goalie Is supposed to defend against flying pucks. Therefore, when goalie Jac ques Plante of the Montreal Canadians claimed last week that the size of the goal frames varied around the National Hockey League, everyone began scurrying about with tape mea urcs. sure enough, Plante was right. It was confirmed Monday night that the goal frames in Chicago are smaller than reeu- lation. But, said referee Eddie Powers, "maybe not as much as two inches." Another discrepancy found In the Chicago rink: A face-off circle was six inches out of line. And at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens, one of the blue lines over which an offensive player cannot pass ahead of the puck was found to be two inches wider than the other. The rules call for 12-inch bluelines. Cousy's 'Greats' Bob Cousy of the Boston Celtics is conceded to be one of basketball's all-time greats. This year is his finale in the National Basketball Assn. Next season he begins coaching at Boston College. So Cousy, at the request of Look magazine, was asked to select an "all-pro top ten team." His picks: At forwards: Bob Pettit of the St. Louis Hawks, Elgin Bay lor of the Los Angeles Lakers, Snow Area Affects Sports The wintry weather which prevailed over much of the Em erald Empire Tuesday was af fecting the sports picture this Way: Skiers finally had enough unow to ski on, and Willamette Ski Area is scheduled to open Wednesday for daily operation. One high school basketball game scheduled for tonight is canceled, but three others will go on as planned. Another was questionable. The appearance of the Har lem Globetrotters at 8 tonight in McArthur Court apparently will not be affected by the icy roads. Willamette Ski Area manager George Amis, reporting at least 18 inches of new snow on the ski slopes early Tuesday morn ing and still snowing chor tled: "Without a doubt, we have enough snow to run off all the ski schools." Starting Wednesday, he said, the area will be open seven days a week, with the rope tows and Pomalift running and the ski shop and cafeteria open for business. "If people come to ski, we'll run," he said. With the ski area opening for the first time in 1963, the Register-Guard Ski School will fi nally open this weekend. De tails will be announced Wednes day. Tonight's Monroe-Coburg high school basketball game at Co burg was postponed to Feb. 12, after weather forced Monroe schools to close. Lowell is scheduled to play basketball at West fir, but a decision was to be made Tues day afternoon on whether the game will be postponed. Lowell schools were closed. Three high school games on the Coast will go on as scheduled. 'Some Hard Feeling Taylor Among Huff s Critics EDITOR'S NOTE The fol lowing story has been made available to The Associated Press by the Norfolk Ledger Star. By LARRY BONKO Of the Norfolk Ledger-Star NORFOLK, Va. OP Jim Tay lor has muscled his way into the middle of Sam Huff's crit ics. And the Hercules of the Green Bay Packers' backficld is short on silver lining for those dark storm clubs hanging over the violent world of Huff. Huff insists he played rough but not dirty football in the Giants-Packers champ ionship game of Dec. 30. Taylor, talking by telephone from his home in Baton Rouge, La., said "some harH foplinff" existed. "Sam Huff is a great one lor piling on. lie nas aias it. Sam likes being there on top of the pile. But I'm not saying Huff played dirty against me. I haven't seen our game movies," Taylor said in an exclusive in terview with the Norfolk, Va., Ledger-Star. Dolph Schayes of the Syracuse Nationals and Paul Arizin of tne Philadelphia Warriors. For centers, Cousy named Wilt Chamberlain of the San Francisco Warriors and Bill Russell of the Celtics. The guards: Jerry West of the Lakers, Oscar Robertson of the Cincinnati Royals, Richie Guerin of the New York Knick erbockers and Bill Sharman of the Celtics. Missing from the squad was George Mikan of the old Min neapolis Lakers. Mikan had been selected as basketball's "Player of the Half-Century" in an Associated Press poll. What Next? The U.S. team entered in the world bobsled championships at Igls, Austria, is probably begin ning to think it's jinxed. First, new sleds which had been ordered from Italy didn't arrive and the Americans had to borrow bobs from other teams. Second, the U.S. No. 2 team crashed during a work-out run for last weekend's two-man bob championships. This week, with the four-man championships scheduled for next weekend, the entire U.S. team came down with the flu. They were back on the runs Tuesday, however, though still suffering from after-effects 'Takes Me Longer' Sugar Ray Robinson began his professional boxing career in 1940. That same year, Ralph Dupas was but five years old. Wednesday night, the two men will fight in a 10-rounder at Miami Beach. And Sugar Ray, at 43, is trying for a sec ond comeback which he hopes will lead to his sixth middle weight title. 'It takes me longer now to get ready for a fight," Robin son puffed, "but when I get ready I'm just as ready as al ways. I used to be able to train for a fight in a couple of weeks, but the end result is the same. I'm in excellent condition. "I know a lot of the old Rob inson is gone. I naturally don't feel as young as I used to. But I think I can win the title again by beating Dick Tiger." His program, he said, calls for "beating Dupas, then Ter ry Downes, and that should get me a crack at Tiger." Senators to Be Sold? The Washington Senators of the American Baseball League may be sold within the next few days and then again, may be not. The Washington Star said Monday that an offer of $5-mil-lion has been made for the club by Nate Dolin, former co-owner of the Cleveland Indians. If the sale is made, the Star story runs, Bill Vecck is scheduled to become an equal partner with Dolin and be president of the Senators. Dolin says eight of the ten stockholders of the Senators have voted in favor of the sale. But now the Washington Post says that as many as five of the ten stockholders are planning to stay and reorganize the own ership. The Post described a majority of the 10-man board as cool to the $5-million offer for 100 per cent control. AAU Basketball ERNE STEELERS (80) Wonda 17, Clark 17, Cook 12, Moye 16, Cas berg 9.

"I still hurt from that game with the Giants, particularly my elbow. It was smashed up pretty good.

Smilin' Sam is a troubled man, bewild ered by bitter "fan" mail and clippings that start "Dear Sir, you rat . . ." Critics complain that Sam car ried the violence too far in his personal duel with Jim Taylor of Green Bay in the National Football League title game a month ago. They claim Huff was guilty of piling on and commit ted e.ra-curricular mayhem on the person of the Packers' full back. Huff insists he played rough, but not dirty, football. 'I never hit him (Taylor) when he didn't have the foot ball," said Huff. "I don't re member ever hitting him after the whistle. The official was right there. If you hit a man after the whistle, I am sure he would call it. "It was rough all right but not dirty. I think our game with Chicago was even rougher but nobody complained about any dirty play. You can't afford to play dirty in this league. When two 240-poundcrs come together it is bound to be rough but the owners and coaches of the New York Giants do not advocate or teach dirty football." The mail has been so bitter movies first. But I do know that more penalties for unnec essary roughness should have been called. One time when we played Baltimore there was a lot less piling on than in the Giants game. And the Colts were called eight or nine times for unnecessary roughness. "Vince Lombardi (the Pack ers' coach) is a calm guy on the sidelines usually. But in the Giants game he was all over the officials to stop the rough stuff. I kept waiting for them (the of ficials) to stop it but they never did." Taylor carried the ball 31 times against the Giants, about 10 times above his average. He came face to face with Huff a number of times and had words "I can t remember exactly '! what I said. But I would have ', MV he w, nilinr- nn ,H I j wanted that to stop. I never , " . . r - - , have heard so many people criticizing a player as Huff has been criticized. I'm sure all his critics aren't Green Bay Packer or Jim Taylor fans." . . , ( AP Wlropholu) The great spring in the fibre glass pole shows here as C. K. Yang starts up on his vault over the bar at 16 feet, 3V4 inches, the world's highest leap in a meet. The jump came in the Portland Invitational indoor meet at Portland last Saturday night. Indoor performances are not considered for world records. The world mark is held by Pentti Nikula, Finland, at 16-2 'A. r.,i i . - ,r JIM TAYLOR Just Rough, Says Huff that Huff's wife and family have been shaken. My wife wants me to quit," said the Giants' middle line backer. "I don't want to do that. But I can't figure it out. One year youre the rgcatcst, tne next year you re the dirtiest. "You should see the letter I get with clippings. Most of them mention that television show I did about 'The Violent World of Sam Huff.' One fellow wrote, 'I'm surprised at you the way you played against Taylor. But even when I see you in tne com mercials you can't resist grab bing your own son by the face guard.' How about that? "People never stop to think what that sort of stuff does to a man or his family. 1 don't want to be labeled a dirty play er but I don't know what to do about it. "One of the pictures they keep sending me shows me with my arms around Taylor like we're fighting while the offi cials and the other players are playing the ball. It doesn't say Taylor had just fumbled. Sure. I grabbed him but how did I know he had f.jmblcd? - "Taylor and all the good backs in the league have fantastic days if you don't go after them with sharp, crisp tackles. If you try to pussyfoot with them, they'll run all over you. "A lot of people ask what I was saying to Taylor during the game. We had words. De fensive nlaycrs and offensive players often have words. He is a talkative fellow, too. lie u . sav something like 'I'm going j to run over you next time. You - . . ,7 won't stop me.' Naturally, I had something to say, too. "I haven't read any comments from the Packer players. The clippings I get are mostly from people who saw the game on television. As good as TV is, it doesn't show everything." Huff and the Giants were so disturbed about the reaction that they held a special show ing of the title game films to let newsmen draw their own conclusions. The writer was one of those invited to watch. This observer saw the title game in person and thought it was a rugged contest, played under impossible weather con ditions in fierce cold on a frozen field with gale winds. Taylor, obviously, was the tar get of the Giants' defense as Paul Hornung was sub-par. In our opinion the officials were a bit slow on the whistle in some cases but they often arc in a Green Bay or Cleveland game for both Taylor and Jimmy Brown are known for the extra yardage they pick up on the so-called "second effort." After looking at the films, we found Huff was right in his comments about the Taylor fumble. However, there was an instance in the fourth period when Huff did seem to pile on and elbowed Taylor. Earlier in the game, Huff was completely out of a play when he was hit by a Packer from the blind side and knocked atop a heap so that old No. 70 (Huff) was the last man on top of the pile. Huff also was involved in an other questionable play in the first half when he might have hit Taylor after the whistle. This was a game of gang tackl ing in which Y. A. Tittle also suffered some indignities. It was a rough ballgamc. No doubt about it. But it didn't look like a dirty game cither in person or in the films. Innocent or guilty, the boo birds will have a field day with the violent Sam Huff next sea son. It will be interesting to see how he reacts.

Associate Sponsor 215 Rivervlew Eugene DI 4-4798 New Crack Has Arisen In Agreement NEW YORK Of) Officials of the U.S. Track and Field Federation (USTFF) and the Amateur Athletic Uuion (AAU) conceded Tuesday that a crack had developed in the agreement arbitrated by Gen. MacArthur but both expressed confidence talks later this week would smooth out the problem. At issue is whether the Mac Arthur agreement, accepted by both sides as a temporary truce in the amateur sports dispute, provides sanctioning rights for the federation as well as the AAU. The cracks was disclosed Monday when the federation confirmed reports that it had asked for sanctioning of high school, junior college and col lego athletes invited to open meets conducted by the AAU. The AAU said this amounted to dual sanctioning and was not part of the agreement, reached before MacArthur on Jan. 19. Entitled to Sanction The' USTFF said it felt it was entitled to sanction appear ances of its own athletes in AAU meets since the MacAr thur plan recognized the federa tion as well as the AAU in the administration of track and field in the U.S. The matter will be discus sed at a meeting of the Olympic btigibuity Board, as provided by the MacArthur agreement. in New York on Friday," Presi dent William W.. Russell of the federation said in Inglewood, Calif. "This isn't the resump tion of a war or anything like that. We feel we are entitled to give our sanction to high school, junior college and college ath letes invited to events like the indoor meets within the frame work of the agreement. "The fact that there are two groups for track and field in this country is recognized by the agreement. It also provides tnat to implement the plan, an agreement on a non-membership basis will be developed. were confident this can be achieved." If it isn't, the MacArthur plan provides that the issues of disagreement will be submit ted to the general for deciison. Could Be Worked Out Col. Don Hull, executive di rector of the AAU, also indi cated ho thought the matter could be worked out. The AAU pointed out, however, that dual sanctioning could bring dis qualification to some U.S. ath letcs for international compe tition. The Olympic Eligibility Hoard Is a six-man panel com prised of three AAU represen tatives and three representing the federation. The first federation request for sanctioning went to last Sat urday's Boston Athletic Associa tion Games. Col. Will Cloney, director of the meet, said he wired the federation his thanks for making college athletes available for the meet but said he and other sponsors had been warned by the AAU that dual sanction could result in mass disqualification by the international federation.

Rep. Ed Elder, R-Eugcne, said Monday he is having the bill drafted and that Rep. Gene Hulctt, D-Eugene, will join him in sponsorship. The bill would: Limit the open season on deer and elk to a total of 15 days. Limit the killing of deer and elk to only those animals having a forked horn or a great er number of antlers. At pros en, there are "either sex" sea sons in some regions. Limit the number of tags to one per hunter. At present, some hunters can have more than one tag. ' Force the re-opening of big game preserves that have been abandoned. Elder said that a bill already introduced by Sen. Harry Boiv- in, D-Klamath Falls, asks for an interim study of charges that the deer population is diminish ing, but said it is his opinion that "strong emergency meas ures must be taken immediately, Elder is a member of the House Fish and Game Com mittee. The action follows a growing number of complaints that kill ing doe and fawn deer has les sened the number of deer in the state. 15-Bout Card Slated Feb. 8 The Eugene Boxing club will sponsor a 13-bout amateur box ing card Feb. 8 at the Fair grounds Cow Palace, it was an nounced Monday.

Hills, Eugene, presi dent of the Lano County Chap"- tcr of the Oregon State FiiK and Game Council, recently wrote Elder and Hulett to re', port that his organization has-' about 20,000 signatures on a pe tition asking consideration of the stopping of killing doe arid" fawns. This is based on their (the'' signers') belief that the whole-., sale slaughter of our breeding stock during recent years has dangerously depleted the big game populations to the extent' that further such killing would result in near extermination," the letter said in part.
