Newspaper Page Textr BEND AN EAR By RALPH TONWAY The Bend Bulletin Sports Editor Since coming to Bond we've been impressed by the lack of confi dence and insecurity of the high school athletic department. Maybe they've been sat on too hard in the past. Maybe it's an occupational disease ot some sort taayoe uiey nave nad reason to worry. Maybe they haven't bee sure they have been doing what they should lor the kids. We don't claim to have the an swers. We think the root of the problem is in football, though. The team wasn t doing so well for while there. People weren't com lna out to see a losing team. Consternation reigned after the team's sloppy loss to Albany. The newspaper was approached to write sports news a ceiiain way lor week in hopes of jacking up the leani, where uie lault supposedly lay. Needless to day, we didn't go along with it. We don t go in for propaganda. 1 But that isn't so important. The Important thing is that the al lilt-tie department staff members were so concerned over the loss, not just concerned, but shaking in their boofs. Are their jobs at stake? To some extent, we think, ft so, or if the coaches think so we think it is a mistake. At least it is a mistake if coaching jobs depend so much on producing winning teams. What is a few losses or a down year now and then? Why all the fuss? We think it is partly because the financial condition of the athletic department is too dependent McLarneyS ays Errors 'Honest' PORTLAND, Ore. (UP) Art Mcl.arney, University of Pnrtlund basketball coach, said today the violation of NCAA rules for which the- school is to be reprimanded was an honest error. The executive council of the Na tional Collegiate Athletic Associa tion yesterday voted to reprimand tho. Portland school for trying out Jl :prospective basketball players on the campus April 10 and 11 of this year. Three other schools also were cited with rule violations. football receipts. Other sports suf fer under the present system if football is down and a strained sit uation develops. ' Some other source of revenue should be found to support student activities, including football. We aren't too familiar with school fi nance but we're sure something could be done. For example, the ridiculously low J3 student fee could be raised. No one would be hurt much. The school would bo helped and in turn the students. Some of "the strain would be off the athletic department.' , They could do a better job. Their minds would be diverted from a push to win games and get rigged publicity to help. Instead they could be at ease to teach a man to man love of the game and a desire to excel in it as in the rest of life. We think the boys would feel the change and better football and more won games would result.

Chairman for tho h lueniiier oi me i(.7A since J!H2.eveiit is Mrs. Rex Hanshew, Bond Johnson May Sue Buyers of Athletic Team By BOB COLL United Pre Sport Writer PHILADELPHIA (UP) The be fuddled new "owners." of the Philadelphia Athletics, impatiently awaiting American League approv al of their purchase of the team, faced further frustration today as Chicago realtor Arnold Johnson claimed they "wronged him and threatened suit for substantial damages. But local trucking executive Arthur Gallagher branded t h c court threat "unwarranted and said the Mack family never gave any firm commitments to sell the club Johnson. Gallagher and seven moneyed associates had four million dollars on the line last weekend to keep the Asm the hwn that has been their home for their entire 54-year history. Their move came at a time when most of (he sporting world had been reading Obituaries about American League i baseball Philadelphia after the league club owners voted overwhelmingly to approve sale of the chin to Johnson and let him cary out his avowed purpose of moving it to Kansas City. Hires Attorneys The franchise drive staged by Johnson and his associates, he said cost him "many thousands in ex penses and fees," and he an nounced retention of a Philadel phia law firm to study the advisa bility of suing the Philadelphia group that swung the deal to keep the As in their present location. "I fool that I have been wronged by the Philadelphia group who so suddenly appeared on the scene, anil I purpose? to get my- legal remedy," he said. The realtor emphasized he would not direct any legal action at Con nie Mack or his sons, Roy and Eurle, who owned most of the stock in the team. He also stressed his legal action would not be aimed at the Ameri can League or any of (he club owners. Charges Contract Breach Johnson said that if he entered into litigation wilh the Philadel phia group, he would sue, "not on ly for the cash damages sustained by mo; but also on the grounds that this group joined together to induce a breach of contract which I made in gmid faith for tho pur chase ot the As .

Saxton Upsets Kid Gavilan To Win Welterweight Title Lake Mead, reservoir of Hoover Dam which stores 31,141,755 acre feet of water, is the largest arti ficial lake in the world. ioy nor By JACK CUDDY United- Press Sportu Writer PHILADELPHIA (UP) Johnny Saxton of New York, a brand-new welterweight champion, sought to avoid a traffic jail sentence today while deposed Kid Gavilan of Cuba sought' justice as the victim of a 'Philadelphia decision. Brawny, 24-year-old Saxton, who learned to box in a New York orphanage, wrested the 147-pound crown from 28-year-old Gavilan Wednesday night before 7,909 in Convention Hall. But he faced a 15-day jail sentence, starting today in New York for ignoring a dozen traffic tickets. He was slated to ap pear in a New York court today before starting his incarceration. Johnny, who specialized Wednes day night in 'bulling tactics," won a unanimous 15-round decision after a bout so dull that Chairman Frank Wiener of the Pennsylvania Athletic Commission called it. a stinking fight." Itcsiilt An Upset It was an upset result, for Johnny had been a 7-5 underdog entering the ring. Although the fans booed the bout in nearly every round, they cheered the decision. They were openly pro-Saxton, who is managed by Frank (Blinky) Paler mo of Philadelphia. However, writ ers at the ringside were over whelmingly in favor of Gavilan. Angel Lopez, manager of tear - stained Gavvy, screamed 'They're a bunch of thieves! We were robbed! We'll never fight here again after this Philadelphia deci sion! Gavilan said, 'They cheated me, I won 10 of the 15 rounds. But I knew that if it went the limit here I would lose my title." Lopez protested bitterly to Wien er, but the commission chairman said: "Regardless of how bad the fight was, I think the decision was just.

U. parents' weekend. The 8 p. m. contest will be tho 20th Northwest conference clash between the two old rivals from Salem and MoMinnvillo. Willam ette has won 21 and Linfield four, Willi one a lie. Linfield won last year's game 21 to 7. Saxton was sleek and strong at 1-1614. But Johnny used his strength chiefly for bulling his opponent about the ring, muffling him in clinches and wrestling with him Nevertheless, Gavilan had enough speed, savvy and stamina to land the more punches and with greater accuracy. There were no knockdowns and no cuts during the dull perform ing but Saxton was badly hurt near the end of the 15th round. In that closing session Gavilan stag gered him wilh a right uppercut and then battered him from rope to rope as the fight ended.

However, that was aug mented by 140,000 for the national telecast and broadcast rights. Gavi lan was supposed to receive 40 per cent of the total net proceeds which would have given him only about $33,136. And Saxton's 20 per cent would have been about 116,568. However, through a private guar antee, Saxton will pay Gavilan a flat $40,000 for putting his title on the line and then take for himself 60 per cent of the net proceeds which will approximate $49,704. That would give the new champ a payment of slightly more than $9,- 000 for winning his 45th victory in 49 professional bouts. Gavilan, who hadn't fought since his unsuccessful attempt to win the middleweight crown from Bobo Ol son last April 2, suffered his 15th defeat in 117 fights. And he lost the crown he had won on May 18, 1951, in a battle with Johnny Bratton for the title left vacant by Sugar Ray Robinson's rise to the middleweight class. He was at tempting his eighth-defense. Manager Palermo said Saxton will be a fighting champion be cause he needs the money and will make his first defense in the near future against "the opponent that can draw the most money." Wheth er it will be top-ranking Carmen Basilio of Canastota, N. Y., he was uncertain. Palermo and promoter Jim Norris of the International Boxing Club are scheduled to con fer Friday in New York. However, Manager Lopez said he will insist that Gavilan get a re turn title bout with Saxton as pro vided 'in the contract we made more than four months ago." Lo pez explained that the contract was agreed to when Wednesday night's twice-postponed bout was original ly arranged for July 14 at Connie Mack Stadium. A Gavilan hand in jury caused postponement to Sept. 1 when a case of Gavilan mumps delayed until Wednesday night.
