Idaho Vandals Lose to OSC,
Dumped Further in Cellar; Big
Games Slated, During Week
(By United Piw)
The Idaho Vandals were buried even further in the cellar
of the northern division of the Pacific Coast conference today.
Last night the Vandals lost their fourth conference game of
the year against no wins. Victors were the Oregon State
Beavers by a 61-39 count.
The win gave the Beavers an even break on their invasion
of the Palouse country. Oregon State whipped Idaho twice

New York, Jan. 25 U) L The
"new" Joe DiMaggio vowed today
to make a complete comeback in
1950 because "I have a lot more
baseball left in me and I'd like to
play on at least two more cham
pionship teams."
There were those who thought,
at season's end, that the Yankee
jolter was through. Bad heels had
shackled him to the bench half of
the campaign and virus pneumo
nia left him wan and haggard as
he dragged his scrawny 179
pounds through the world series.
Even Joe might have had his
doubts. Certainly he knew that
there had to be some changes
made. For years he had spent the
off season in a New York hotel
suite, nightly going on the town.
It was a mode of living which
might have had something to do
with his constant spring training
troubles.
This year, after the series, Joe
like a lot of other boys when they
were worried, went home to ma
ma. Golf Conditioner
And Mama DiMaggio took it
from there. She gave him the
peaceful home life lie had needed,
the good cooking and regular
meals and the solace of steady liv
ing. Joe began to play golf to
strengthen his legs and the com
bination of rest and fresh air, in
stead of the draining monotony of
night spots, quickly padded that
scarecrow frame.
"I'm up to 202 pounds now,"
Joe grinned as he signed a con
tract which purportedly will pay
him $100,000 again in 1950.
"That's more than I've ever weigh
ed, since before the war.-1 .eat
home every night and have settl
ed Into a routine where I get
plenty of rest. I feel better than I
have at any time in the past few
years, my heels are 100 per cent
and I had my teeth checked. I Just
feel wonderful."
No Longer Listless
He looked it, too. This wasn't
the listless man who couldn't
move from in front of his locker
for more than an hour after the
last game of the series. At 35 his
hair is flecked with grey. But Di-
Mag Is tanned and moves witn
that old ease and style. His eyes
are bright and you can feel the
contidence nowing irom mm.
Joe wouldn't go so far as to say

Last night's game, the only
one in the conference, was
highlighted by alert ball-stealing
on the part of Oregon
State.
Idaho gave a good account of
itself for the first eight minutes,
holding the Beavers even. Then a
goal by Jim Nau gave OSC a 7-5
lead which they never relinquish
ed. Jim Padgett led Oregon State
with 14 points and Bob Wheeler

Classy Teams to Meet
Meanwhile, basketball fans
were expected to fill every one of
the 12,500 seats in San Francisco's
Cow palace Friday night to watch
a contest between two of the
west's most powerful teams Uni
versity of San Francisco and Uni
versity of Southern California.
The DonTroian game is the
first on the twin bill. In the sec
ond game, St. Mary's plays Uni
versity of Arizona.
USC has a record of 10 wins
and three losses for the season
and is leading the southern divi
sion of the Pacific Coast confer
ence. The Dons have a 9 to 4
mark. Against common oppon
ents, USF beat UCLA, Stanford
and Loyola and lost to Long Is
land. USC tied with UCLA, beat
Stanford and Loyola twice and
lost to Long Island.
. On Saturday night, USF plays
California and USC meets St.
Mary's at the Cow palace.
In other games Friday night,
the Washington Huskies play Ore
gon and Santa Barbara State
Meets UCLA.
Saturday games include Cal
Poly at UCLA, Washington State
against Idaho and Washington at
Uregon.
he'd play the whole 154 games
next season.
"I certainly hope to," he said.
"But I'm sure of one thing I'll
be in there when the season opens
this year."
The Boston Red Sox, he insist
ed, still are the ones to beat for
the pennant.
"I know Detroit has been
strengthened and will be rough,
but I don't think they can win it,"
DiMaggio said.

Maxim Defeats
ills Via K.O.
To Claim Title
By Victor Kalman '
(United Pre Sporta Writer)
London, Jan. 25 lFi Joey Max
im, Cleveland's explosive "cream
puff" who wrested the world
light heavyweight championship
Irom English Freddie Mills last
night, announced today he was
additionally claiming part of the
heavyweight crown.
Although a notoriously light
puncher, Maxim not only knocked
out Mills at 1:54 of the 10th
round, but he stiffened him for
nearly 10 minutes, stunning a
record indoor British crowd of
more than 20,000 in Earl's Court.
Manager Jack Kearns explained
that his stream-lined, black-haired
Ohio champion would remain in
London "for a spell" and claim
the "white heavyweight cham
pionship of the world."
Kearns, who managed Jack
Dempsey in his prime, said pro
moter -Jack Solomons probably
would let Maxim . defend his
"white heavyweight" claims
against the winner of a May bout
in London between British Bruce
Woodcock and Lee Savold of Pat
terson, N.J.
No Return Bout
Kearns emphasized: The U.S.
National Boxing association
awarded its portion of the heavy
weight championship to Ezzard
Charles, whom Maxim has beat
en in two of three bouts.
Veteran Mills has a contract
for a return title bout with Max
im within 90 days; but manager
Ted Brontlribb said today he and
Mills would not ask for a return
bout. If 30-year-old Mills couldn't
beat 27-year-old Maxim last night,
he 11 never be able to.
Despite his heavyweight claims,
Maxim sealed three-fourths of a
pound less than the light-heavy
weight limit of 175 pounds last
night. At 174 V4 he had a slight
advantage over Mills 173.
Joey and Freddie provided an
excellent fight for the jammed
fans who occupied every one of
the 18.002 seats, and every inch
or standing room. -
Mills was still trying desper
ately for a knockout in the 10th.
Maxim was favored at 6 to 4,
Joey bobbed under wild left and
right hooks by Mills, and came
up with a countering left upper
cut to .Mills' i chin, followed im
medlatelly with a left hook and
a smashing, straight right to the
same spot.
Mills sprawled backwards to
the canvas. As referee Andrew
Smyth reached the count of six,
he tried to rise. He fell forward
onto his face. His handlers car
ried him to his corner. Ten min
utes later he was revived, but his
handlers had to help him from
the ring.

Bert Beil Shows
Authority When
Moguls Disagree
Philadelphia, Jan. 25 UP) Squat.
barrel-chested Bert Bell topped a
long career in. football today by
emerging as tne most powenui
figure in the history of the pro-
tessional sport.
By default, the newly-formed
National-American league has
conceded its commission practi
cally the same unlimited powers
as baseball gave the late- Judge
Kenesaw Landis. As the league s
organization meeting slogged
through constant bickering, only
Bell's stolid ultimatums brought
order from the bitter chaos.
He sat back and let the own
ers argue themselves hoarse in
truitless wrangles over schedules,
divisions and player drafts. Then.
exasperated, he would step into
tne midst of each issue and say,
Now, gentlemen, this is how it
will be."
And it was.
Assignments Made
Bell decided the assignment of
the New York Yankee players; he
decided the manner of the college
draft and the draft of unassigned
all-American . conference players,
and he set up the league's two
envisions.
Those were the only major ac
complishments of the meeting.
bometimes it took psychology
for the league's commissioner to
put over his point. In the case
of the long and dreary argument!-.
over how to set up the college
dratt, tne owners finally turned
desperately to Bell for a solution.
The first thing he did was call
a recess, men, alter the owners
had cooled off and returned to the
conference table, Bell quietly out
lined a plan which was accepted
immediately. Within four hours
more than 200 players were draft'
ed by the 13 clubs.

Joe Louis Finds
Good Prospect
Salt Lake City, Jan. 25 "III
Retired world heavyweight cham
pion Joe Louis calmly took every
thing youthful Rex Layne could
throw here In their four-round ex
hibition last night, but sent the
Lewiston heavyweight smashing
to the canvas in the second round.
Gentleman Joe let Layne bring
the fight from every quarter
much to the delight of the home
fans, but he flicked out that light
ning left to send Layne sprawling
when the Utah boy got too am
bitious. Twice in the Inst round, Layne
drove Louis into the ropes with a
hornet-like barrage and the bomb
er had to steady himself on the
ropes at one point.
. Joe said after the fight that
Layne was "the best thing in
sight" that he had seen in the
way of new talent during his
western exhibition tour. The In
ternational Boxing club, of
which Lewis is a member, plans
to "break-in" Layne In one of
their arenas, Madison Square gar
den. Chicago stadium or Olympic
in Detroit, soon.

Jackie Robinson Lauded
As Most Valuable Player
By Fred Down
(United Pru Sports Writer)
New York, Jan. 25 1P Jackie
Robinson's story is "the perfect
example of democracy in action,"
Branch Kickey, president of tne
Brooklyn Dodgers, said today as
he reviewed the three-year career
of the first Negro ever, to play in
the major leagues.
"What this man has done could
not have been accomplished by
any speech or legislation," Rickey
said. "He has beaten down bar
riers which existed for years. He
has influenced the attitude to
ward Negroes all over the south
to the extent that there are now
only two or three, cities where he
is not welcome.
"When I first announced the
signing of Robinson, I predicted
that within five years other ma
jor league teams would sign Ne
groes. Now I feel free to make
another prediction. Within anoth
er five years there will not be a
league In the United States which
will be without a Negro player.''
Paid $35,000
Rickey spoke shortly after Rob
inson, the National league's most
valuable player and batting cham

Rickey conceded Robinson's
drawing power was considered
although Jackie has never at
tempted to make his appeal a
wedge In negotiating for more
money, rnua, his contract naraiy
compares with the documents
which other stars like Joe DiMag

Tommy Henrich, Ralph Klner and

Robinson expresses his feeling
by saying that "Mr. Rickey did
not draw the color line when he

league ball so I do not feel that
I can draw the color line in my
negotiations with him." , .
