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.

Skiers finally had enough

Ski Area is scheduled to open
Wednesday for daily operation.
One high school basketball
game scheduled for tonight is

Starting Wednesday, he said,
the area will be open seven days

'Some Hard Feeling

the middle of Sam Huff's crit

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

For centers, Cousy named
Wilt Chamberlain of the San

The guards: Jerry West of

the Cincinnati Royals, Richie
Guerin of the New York Knick

the Celtics.
Missing from the squad was
George Mikan of the old Min

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.

'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.

Dark Storm Clouds Hang
Over World of Sam Huff
By JACK HAND
or the Associated Press
NEW YORK Dark storm
clouds hang low over the vio
lent world of Sam Huff. 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

, " . . 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."

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

are not considered for world records. The world mark is held by

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.

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.

Lane Pair to Introduce -:
Legislation to Eliminate
Open Fawn, Doe Season
By DAN SELLARD
Of the ReglsterGuard
SALEM (Special) Legisla
tion to eliminate the open sea
son on fawn and doe deer will
be introduced soon by two Lane
County legislators.
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.

Guard Ernest Wagner Jr. gets
ready with two basketballs or
it really just one? as the Harlem--
Globetrotters prepare for a display
of their basketball sleight-of-hand
at 8 tonight in McArthur Court.
The appearance is sponsored by
the Oregon Club.
Frank J. 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.
Elder said that the Lane
County organization suggested
the restrictions be in effect for
at least two years. He said this
might be wise, pending the find
ings of tho interim study.
