Winner Saturday 2:00 pm First Round Lowell is being put on the spot. There's little disagreement on the eve of the state B basketball tournament at Bend that the Red Devils are favored. They've got the best record and they come from the league that has won the title the past two years the Trico circuit. Lowell, with 22 wins in 23 starts, tangles with McEwcn of Athena Thursday at 8:45 p.m. in the final first-round game of the three-day tournament. Two years ago Lowell walked off with the title and last year Alsea, which nosed out Lowell for the berth, grabbed tba small-school title. The lone Red Devil loss this season was at the hands of Creswell of the A-2 ranks. Lowell beat Creswell in another game. The only B school that came close to Lowell was Alsea.

Art Benjamin of the Oakland National Boxing Club announc '. 1 ed the Moycr-Dupas fight on j j Monday. It is set for April 15. r. Now Dupas says he won't fi(,ht and told sportswritcrs he has made arrangements for a - scries of fights next month in ' : Australia. i- i "I'll fight Moyer for the same 1' price any place but in Califor t ma or Portland (Moyer's home i town)," said Dupas. I ? Then he added: "But if the contract for Oakland is binding, naturally I'll be forced to go 1 ' through with the fight. f f His manager, Angelo Dundee, was reported out of town. ' But the New Orleans Timcs- Picayune Quoted promoter Ben- , jamin as saying he had a tele- gram confirming the light that's self-binding. The match Is definitely made." t '. Emile Bruneau of New Or- : leans, chairman of the World ' Boxing Association's world i championship committee, said y he was unaware of the contents of Dundee's telegram to Ben v jamin "but if it included ac t i ccptance of terms, site, date and opponent, then I feel it would be a binding contract." Benjamin said Dundee's tele v gram accepted the site and date, fs as well as the opponent, t "Dupas is just sounding off," laid Benjamin. This will be Dupas' third crack at a world title. He was defeated last July by Ermle (.riffith in a welterweight title fight.

Clay Gives His Mouth a Rest As Fight With Jones Nears From At Reports Today's leading candidate for the most easy-on-the-ears piece of news comes from New York City. It seems that Cassius Clay, having sold out Madison Square Garden with his one man ballyhoo campaign for his heavyweight fight tonight with Doug Jones, took things easy Tuesday. A friend called him at his hotel room and asked him: "Are you resting your old bones?" "No." replied Cassius. "I'm resting my mouth." One-Way Border Crossing Peter Maus, 23, and Michael Maucr, 21, both belonged to a Communist People's Po lice unit in Communist East Berlin. But they were also hockey players on the East Ger man team F C. Dynamo. The Dynamo team was touring northern Finland last week when the two players sud denly disappeared. Tuesday, Swedish au thorities disclosed that Maus and Mauer de fected from the team, hitchhiked to Sweden and asked for political asylum. After crossing the Finnish-Swedish bor der, the two men were detained by Swedish police in Haparanda in northern Sweden, pending the Swedish Foreigner Commission's decision on their request for asylum. The detection might explain why the East German Dynamo club suddenly can celled an invitation for two Finnish ice hock ey teams to compete in East Germany. Johnnie Frankie Dies Johnnie Frankie, head basketball coach at Rice University since 1959, was ill last week when his team ended its season by de feating Texas A & M for a 9-5 record that clinched a second place tie with A it M In final Southwest Conference standings. Frankie attended the game, thinking he only had a case of the flu. But he became worc, and lapsed into a coma Saturday. Frankie, 50 years old, died Tuesday at Houston. A hospital spokesman said the ail ment which the coach first thought was the flu actually was hepatitis, which led to com plications that included viral encephalitis, an infection of the brain. This year's Rice team was in contention (or the conference championship until two members of the team reported that a sopho more at the university had offered them $1,000 to shave points. Frankie said the bribery attempt upset his players. The team dropped out of contention by losing three ot its lat five games. Another Sports Scandal? The Miami, Fla.. Herald said Tuesday night a football scandal is shaping up in the Southeastern Conference.

Four players on coach Dick Garrett's 1963 team played with the 1961 champions Tom Simdars, a regular, and 6-9 Dave Bainbridge, Tim Simdars and Robert Craft.

North Powder's only other appearance came in 1946. Jack McGoldrick, the present coach, played on that club. The Sports Wire tion have been investigated by the league," Assistant Sports Editor Edwin Pope said. He went on: "No question of any 'fix' similar to the point-shaving scandals of SEC basketball Is involved. Mainly the investigation concerns large bets made on the basis of information smuggled out of one school by a high official. "League commissioner Bernie Moore has not publicly announced any investigation. But he is known to have been looking into the matter for some weeks." This week's Sports Illustrated told of of "growing rumors of dishonorable collusion among high officials of athletic staffs of rival colleges," adding that Walter Byers, secre tary of the National Collegiate Athletic Assn. (NCAA) "is loathe lo investigate, hoping there is no fire under all that smoke." In Kansas City. Byers said he would have no comment "at this time." And in Berming ham, Ala., Moore said. "I wouldn't make a statement on a story like that at all." The 'Fix' in Moscow In the underworld jargon of Moscow, a fixer is known as a "whale." And the maga zine Young Communist charged Tuesday that the "whales" arc at work at the giant Mos cow Hippodrome race track. The magazino said track officials had de clared four races invalid last year because jockeys had deliberately permitted a long shot to win. "The whales are at ease in the Hippo drome, "Young Communist claimed. "They spit at bans and laws. The administration looks through it fingers at them and in the worst cases they satisfy the guardians of order by minor fines. This touching softness toward crooks will lead to no good , . ."

"He has broken bones in the neck, and I've known ''layers with injuries not half as serious that had to quit. ... It will be a miracle if he ever plays again " Blake is referring lo 31-year-old defense man Lou Fontinato, who was checked head long into the boards Saturday night during a game with the New York Rangers. He was earned, paralyzed, from the rink and doctors later said the cervical vertebrae at the base pm RUNNER of the neck were crushed and partially dis located.

Clay to Try Tonight NEW YORK Of) C a s s i u s Clay takes the big step to night on the road to a million dollars. If cocky Cassius displays the punch to match his mouth against Doug Jones at Madison Square Garden, he could be well on the way lo millionaire status before his 22nd birthday. The 21-year-old, all-conquer ing heavyweight contender from Louisville is rated the favorite at odds ranging from 13-5 to 3-1 to whip the 26-year-old New York contender before a stand ing room only crowd of 18,732. Starting time is 7 p.m. PST, for the 10-rounder which will Sweden Rips U.S. In Hockey by 17-2 STOCKHOLM 01PD The smart money was on defending champion Sweden Wednesday to retain the world amateur ice hockey title and show the Canadians they can do it without try ing to knock their opponents out of tho rink. Canada, which drew with Czechoslovakia 44, Tuesday night, received a further blow to its hopes when Pinokc Mclntyre suf fered a badly bruised leg when he was hit In the first period. The word from the Canadian camp is that the little winger is finished for the tournament. Canada's next match is against Finland on Thursday, to be fol lowed by games with Sweden and Russia. In Wednesday's action, Swe den plays West Germany and Finland mcels East Germany. The Swedes then have a day's break before playing Canada Friday. Sweden currently holds first place with a 4-0 record. Canada and Czechoslovakia arc both 3-0-1 while Russia also is in con tention with just one defeat. Coach Harry Cleverly of the United States team, which was thrashed by Sweden, 17-2, Tues day, is ono of Sweden's most vocal supporters. The United States, having Its worst international hockey tour nament in history, at least can take solace in the fact it will take part in the Olympic cham pionship next year, which also will double for the world title. John A. Bunny Ahearnc, Eu ropean president of the Inter national Ice Hockey Federation, spiked reports that the Yanks might be relegated to a lower standing in next year s meet and be unable to challenge for the title regardless of what kind of team they have. "But there will be 16 teams taking part in the Olympics," he said, "and the Americans will be one of them irrespective of how they finish here." Lewis-Clark Posts Victory KANSAS CITY Wl Lewis and Clark was to move into (he quarterfinals of the National Athletics basketball tournament Wednesday with an afternoon game against Transylvania.

Jones never has been stopped. A fight with Liston "that big, ugly bear" as Clay calls him could earn Cassius his million. It also would give him the opportunity to achieve his ambition of becoming the young est heavyweight champion of all lime. Patterson holds that distinc tion now. He did it when he was 21 years, 10 months and 26 days old. Clay, born on Jan. 17, 1942, has until Dec. 12 of this year to break the mark. "I'm gonna stop that Jones and then I'm going to whip that gorilla Liston and be the great est champion ot them all," pro claimed Cassius. He's come close to his goals although boxing experts still wonder if The Greatest can fight? Jack Dempscy is among the curious who will pack tho Gar den to seo if Cassius will supply some of the answers. "How docs he take a punch?" asked the former heavyweight champion. "He's been great for the fight game, but can ha fight?" Clay, handsome, strong and fast, and still growing, stands 6-foot 3 and weighs about 205 pounds. He won the Olympic light heavyweight (178 pounds) title in 19B0 and has won all 17 of his pro fights, 14 by knock outs. He already ranks as tho No. 2 contender behind ex-champion Patterson although his victims mostly include rookies and washed up veterans like Archie Moore, Willi Besmanoff and Alex Mileff. Jones, a pro since August 1958, has a 21-3-1 won-lost rec ord including 13 knockouts. Ha is ranked third by Ring and fifth by the World Boxing Assn.
