Bruins, Huskies
Now Loom as Top
Hoop Contenders
By Hal Wood
(United Prew Sport Writer)
San Francisco, Jan; .6 iU'i The
Bruins of UCLA and the Huskies
of University of Washington, two
of the west's more powerful cage
contenders, step into Pacific
Coast conference competition to
night and tomorrow with rugged
foes furnishing the opposition.
Fresh off victorious perform
" ances against eastern and mid
$ wpstern top-flight teams, the two
clubs loom as the favorites to cap
ture their divisional crowns.
UCLA plays hapless California
tonight, and then meets a good
Stanford squad tomorrow. Wash
ington plays a good Idaho quintet
both nights.
Coach Johnny Wooden of the
Bruins believes he has a well-balanced
squad that will give a good
account of itself against any type
of competition. The team won
seven of nine road games, includ
ing an upset victory over power
ful CCNY in Madison Square gar
den. "In that game," says Wooden,
"our George Stanich played one
of the finest all-around games of
basketball I've ever seen."
Other Squads Good
However, there are some other
well-built squads in the PCC and
the chances are the Bruins could
win the southern division crown
while still losing two or three loop
contests.
The other PCC games tonight
and tomorrow include: Washing
ton State, which split with Ore
gon State earlier in the week, at
Oregon for two battles; and USC
entertaining Stanford tonight and
California Saturday.
Outside the conference, St.
Mary's and Santa Clara clash in
San Jose in a Saturday tilt; and
Nevada invades Stockton for a
two-games series with College of
Pacific.
USF is idle after an extended
holiday tour that didn't do any
thing to help the Dons' prestige
atter winning tne national invita-
tional -tournament in Madisan
" Square garden last spring. Near
ly the same club that won eastern
raves last spring has been having
(rouble breaking even during the
lour. It was thumped by North
Larollna State the other night,
after losing in the garden to both
Long Island and St. John's.
Ben Hogan Seeks
' Golf Comeback
Los Angeles, Jan. 6 IP Ben
Hogan, the plucky little golfer
who nearly died in a highway ac
cident a year ago, started a gal
lant comeback effort today in the
first round of the 72-hole $15,000
Los Angeles open on the frigid
Riviera country club course.
Slammin' Sammy Snead, PGA
champion, and Dr. Cary Middle
coff, 1949 national open cham
pion, were favorites to win the
$2,600 top money. But almost
everyone's sentimental hopes rode
with Bantam Ben.
Hogan has won this tourna
ment three times and generally
does well on the 7,000-yard Riv
iera course, although he slipped
to a tie for 11th place last year
when Lloyd Mangrum won with
a par 284. Hogan's winning 275
in 1948 is the tournament record.
. Playing: Good Golf
A month after last year's tour
ney, Hogan's car collided with a
bus on a Texas highway and he
was seriously Injured. When. he
recovered, it was feared he never
would play tournament golf
again, but he decided to enter the
Los Angeles open after four
sparking rounds over the Riviera
layout.
Hogan shot only a few prac
tice holes yesterday after tour
ing the course in a four-under-par
67 the day before.
In final tune-ups yesterday, the
players had trouble with icy-hard
greens after freezing weather
during the night.
The greens thawed somewhat
in the afternoon, and experts pre
dicted the winner might have to
shoot a four-under-par 280 to win
the event if warm weather pre
vailed. Continued cold weather
might raise the winning score to
284. they said.
Mangrum is unable to defend
his title because of a shoulder
injury suffered in a recent traf
fic accident. Craig Wood, Vic
Ghezzi and Barney Clark also
withdrew, cutting the field to 123.

Football Gambling Syndicate
Charges Result in Arrests;
Two Men Held in Island City
Honolulu, T. H., Jan. p" (U.E) Charles Schwartz, 45, alleged
former Mickey Cohen mobster, and Al Schaff. ex-Honolulu
boxing promoter, face arraignment in district court here to
day on charges of conducting a 520,000 weekly football gam
bling syndicate.
The two men were arrested by police late yesterday and re
leased on $750 bail each. They previously were arrested with
five other suspects on Wed-
nesday, but were released on
a habeas corpus writ obtained
by their attorney, Samuel P.
King.
Investigators said they had
no additional evidence and re
fused to say why the two men
were not officially charged with
conducting a lottery yesterday, i
Others Arrested
Also under arrest in connection
with the alleged gambling com
bine are restaurant owner Robert
Hosai, 38; gambler Morris Cohen,
42; and three alleged ticket sell
ers, Ted Murata, 27, Mike Morita,
36, and James Y. K. Wun, 22.
Vice squad officers said
Schwartz and Schaff, along with
Hosai and Cohen, were ringlead
ers in the football pool, which had
mainland outlets in Los Angeles,
Reno and Chicago.
Schwartz made the odds for
the syndicate, authorities charg
ed, after receiving weekly phone
calls from mainland connections.
The combine also handed bets to
mainland gamblers when the bet
ting ran too high, police said.
Schwartz, who has lived in
Honolulu since September, denied
association with Mickey Cohen,
although he admitted knowing
him.

By Oscar Fraley
(United Preu SporU Writer)
New York, Jan. 6 mi It may
sound incredible, but the New
York Giants appear now to be
making a genuine, bid to recap
ture the interest of metropolitan
baseball fans.
Horace Stoneham's club gives
every indication of trying to field
a fast, well-balanced team next
season, instead of a futile, lop
sided power outfit.
rne ma nad better ne genuine,
for the Giants have lost their
crowd-appeal.
caught m a nutcracker be
tween the popular Brooklyn
Dodgers and the invariably for
midable New York Yankees,
Stoneham's lethargic Giants have
been badly managed as a gate at
traction during the post-war sea
sons in which they produced but
one first division ouv'it
Last season, attendance at the
Polo grounds was 240,823 less
than in '48. The Giants drew only
1,218,446 to their park, which can
accommodate approximately 55,-
000 for a game. They drew 415,
301 less than the Dodgers, whose
Ebbets field holds only about 34,'
000. Burt Shotton's lads attract
ed 1.633.747.
Just across the Harlem river
from the Polo grounds, the Yan
kees in their big Bronx stadium
played to more than 2,000,000 for
the fourth straight year. J. Di
Maggio and Co. attracted 2,283,
676. The excuse that the Dodgers
and Yanks won their respective
pennants put no dollars in the
Giants' treasury. Though Stone
ham and associates lost no mon
ey in '49, the attendance drop was
alarming. It proved that the long
loyal were deserting in such num
bers that future Giant bookkeep
ing might be done in red ink.
Loquacious Leg Durocher
seems to have convinced Stone
ham that a fast, balanced team
will not only do best in national
league play, but will also appeal
to fans who have tried desperate
ly to regard the Giants as synony
mous with the speedy, fighting
teams of John McGraw's regime.
Charges Dropped
In McGuire Death
Corvallis, Jan. 6 UPolice to
day dropped two charges against
Bill Austin, New York Giants pro
fessional football player and
former Oregon State college tac
kle, who was driver of the car
towing a toboggan on which Stan
McGuire, Oregon State football
captain, and Bill Corvallis, pro
fessional baseball pitcher, met
their deaths Tuesday night.
Austin had been charged with
not having a driver's license on
his person and with towing a
toboggan.
City attorney Walter Durgan
said it appeared not a violation
of any city ordinance to tow a
toboggan. He said there was a
state law which forbids towing
a sled carrying more than 500
pounds in weight.
But, Durgan said, this law was
aimed at protecting a street from
damaging overloads and could
not be applied in Austin's case.
McGuire and Corvallis were
killed when the toboggan on
which they were riding swerved
Into the path of a car driven by
Vernon Heckert of Corvallis.
Title Defended
By Wrestler;
Nazarain Loser
Al Szasz, Pacific coast junior
heavyweight wresTling champion,
last night successfully defended
his crown against Mike Nazarain,
of Armenia, in a slam-bang brawl
staged before nearly 800 fans In
the national guard armory in
Eend.
Nazarain, depending more upon
fouls than scientific wrestling,
was thrown twice by the cham
pion while being held td one fall
himself.
The first fall went to Szasz iii 9
minutes on an octopus hold.
The Armenian "meanie" bounc
ed back some seven minutes later
to win the next fall with a half
crab and even up hc contest.
Takes Final Fall
Szasz won the final fall of the
match a short time later when he
pinned Nazarain with a jack knife
body press.
Nazarain loudly protested the
decision, claiming that referee
Jack Mitchell gave the bout to
Szasz on a short count.
One of the outstanding bouts so
far presented here was staged In
last night's semi-final between a
newcomer, Danno McDonald, of
Toronto, Canada, and popular
Jack Kiser, of Portland.
McDonald showed fana. a bag
full of scientific wrestling holds
and tricks as he kept Kiser in
trouble throughout the 45 min
utes of the bout.
McDonald won the first fall in
23 minutes on a drop kick and
body press. The second fall went
to Kiser 11 minutes later when he
pinned -the Canadian with an alii
gator clutch.
Ends in Draw
With only one minute to go aft
er the second fall, neither fighter
was able to win another fall, and
tne bout ended in a draw.
Next week McDonald will
match his scientific wrestling
sKiu against jviazarain s rough
tactics in a semi-final bout.
Last night's ODener was wnn hv
Cal Roberts, another newcomer
rrom Vancouver, B. C, over Karl
uray, of Milwaukee, Wis. . ,
A one fall affair, Gray had won
the match over Roberts with a
half crab, but refused to break the
hold when given the count, and
tne decision was reversed in favor
of Roberts on the foul.
Next week Gray will be match
ed in ine main event against
George Strickland, of Columhns
O., who recently fought to a draw
with Jack O'Reilly, the Pacific
coast ngmneavy weight cham
pion.
Fourteen-foot long native blow
guns of South America, made of
bamboo, are now in the museum
