Saturday

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.
Dupas Balks
At Title Bout
J NEW ORLEANS W) Ralph
Dupas is balking at a proposed
; title fight with junior middle
,!; weight champion Denny Moyer,
I I but the dancing New Orleans
J f boxer may have to go through
( with the fight whether he likes
; i it or not.
j: 1 The 27-year-old Dupas' main
) objection to the site of the pro
v, posed fights Oakland or, for
J ' that matter, any other place in
California.
5 He claims he was "robbed" in
l a 1955 fight at Oakland against
Leonard Gaines,
t "I beat the guy eight out of
(en rounds and they called it a
a . draw," Dupas said Tuesday.
i Promoters Lou Thomas and
-..! 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.

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 , . ."
Wismer Pleads Innocent
In New York City, Harry Wismer, presi
dent of the financially-troubled New York
Titans in the American Football League,
pleaded innocent Tuesday lo charges that he
failed to file sales and amusement tax re

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."

Liston providing Liston gets
by Floyd Patterson again in
September. 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.
The Garden card will gross
about $100,000 for the arena's
