Pep Favored to
Retain Title in
Fight on Monday
St. Louis, Ma., Jan. 16 U.
Champion Willie Pep of Hart
ford, Conn., was a heavy favor
ite to retain his featherweight
crown in a 15-round title fight
with Challenger Charley Riley,
of St. Louis, tonight.
Man-to-man betting favors the
classy little Italian scrapper
anywhere from 1 to 2 to 1 to 4
over his Negro opponent.
The battle at Kiel auditorium,
starting at 9:30 p.m. CST, will be
the third championship bout
here in the last 15 years. A near
record gate of about $52,000 or
more has been predicted.
A crowd of 10,000-plus is ex
pected to see the scrap between
the shorter, more rugged Hiley
and the polished Pep.
They finished up their pre
tight training with light taper-Ing-off
drills yesterday. Neither
expected to encounter any dif
ficulty in making the 126-pound
weight limit.

On OCE Defeat
Monmouth, Jan. 16 IP) South
ern Oregon College of Education
grabbed up the Oregon collegi
ate basketball conference lead
ership here Saturday night by
defeating Oregon College of Ed
ucation 56-50.
This split the SOCE-OCE two
game scries and gave Southern
Oregon a record of 5 wins and
2 losses in the circuit. A sur
prise OCE victory the night pre
vious had moved the Wolves into
a deadlock with the Red Raiders
on a percentage basis.

established himself as the man to beat by taking the first
round. (Acme Telephoto)
January 23. Their next home en

28 against Pacific.
The Bearcats made it two
in a row over the Lewis &

Saturday night's encounter in
Portland, 70 to 61. The cagcrs
battled on even terms through
much of the contest with the
Pioneers holding a 31-28 half
time margin.
Hugh Bellinger's 13 points, all
in the second half, were of ma

NCAA Seeks
To Deal with
New York, Jan. 16 (P) The
National Collegiate Athletic as
sociation, rebuffed in its first ef
forts to get tough, sought new
methods today for cracking down
on recalcitrants.
Prof. Hugh C. "Willett of Sou
thern California, the NCAA's in
coming president, announced vi
olators of the sanity code would
still be sought out and punished.
He didn't say how.
"It is evident expulsion is
felt to be too severe a penalty
for such infractions,'1 he said.
"However we have a peculiar!
problem. We have these mem
bers who admit they are break
ing the rules, who have been
found guilty by the compliance
committee and who have been
convicted by a majority vote of
the convention.
He said it's possible other
NCAA members would choose to
boycott them.
The NCAA executive referred
to seven institutions who won a
battle against expulsion Satur
day in a tense, seven-hour meet
ing of the convention.
Virginia, Virginia Tech,
VMI, the Citadel and Mary
land stood up aid said out loud
they were not complying with
the code and didn't intend to.
It is "unworkable and imprac
tical,'' they argued.
Boston College and Villanova,
also charged with violations, said
they were singled out through
misunderstanding and are now
complyign. They were hailed up
on violations cited last Sept. 1.
The Citadel quit the NCAA
in a huff and Col. I). S. Mc-
Hogan tecs oft at Cypress Foint
as Bing Crosby's $10,000 pro-amateur tourn
from the charity mark.
Fifty fouls were called against
the two clubs, nine of them in
the last two minutes as Lewis
and Clark made a desperate ef
fort to get back into the ball
game.
Lewis & Clark freshmen took
the preliminary from Willa
mette's yearlings, 65 to 47.

Two Platoon Grid
Is Top Issue in
NCAA Rules Meet
Pinehurst, N.C., Jan. 16IU.R)
Approval of football's two
platoon system was the princi
pal issue as the National Col
1 e g i a t e Athletic association
rules committee opened its
meeting here today.
The Football Coaches asso
ciation rules committee has
recommended that two-platoon
football be okayed for at
least one more season, and
that even more substitutes be
allowed in order to help the
smaller colleges. The NCAA
group will act on that recom
mendation during its three or
four day session.
mette middle fork seasons
would be May 1 through Oct.
15. A special season would
allow trout over 10 inches to
be taken from the Clackamas
river below River Mill dam
Oct. 16 through Feb. 28. The
bag limit would be two fish
a day for the period.
The minium length on East,
Paulina, Sparks and Davis lakes
and the Crane Prairie and
Wickiup reservoirs was raised
to nine inches. The Diamond
lake 10 inch limit of recent
years was dropped to 6 inches.

Hundreds of chilled spectators
line the 13th green at the
terday in a four way tie for
first place and collected $1,
237.50 for his efforts.
Hogan, making his second try
since his near fatal auto accident
of a year ago, finished out of
the money but still playing
good golf, he had a 72 yesterday
comparied with Snead's final 73.
Deadlocked with the West Vir-
ginia hill-billy for first place
money, were Dave Douglas,
Wilmington, Del.; little Jackie
Burkei White Plains, N.Y., and
Smiley Quick, Los Angeles,
Along with Slamming Sammy,
they each compiled 214 totals,
three strikes better than the
rest of the closely bunched field.
It was putting miseries that
cost Snead the undisputed
title. He had complained of
having trouble on the greens
on his first round here, de
spite the fact he shot a 69.
But as play continued he got
worse.
In yesterday's round, he three
puttde two greens and missed an
eight footer on the 17th and
again on the 18th, either one of
which would have given him
the crown that he has won three
times previously.

Webfoot Frosh
To Test Brand
New Hoop Rule
Eugene, Ore., Jan. 16 (
Still another basketball ex
periment is in store for local
fans tomorrow night.
The latest idea spawned by
opposition to the cage sport's
new two-minute rule limit! a
team to 15 fouls with the op
posing quintet getting an ex
tra foul shot for every infrac
tion above the 15 limit.
Individual players aren't put
out of the game regardless of
the number of violations -S
charged against them.
The experiment will be
tried tomorrow in a game be
tween the Oregon Frosh and a
local AAU outfit.
A second game, between
Oregon College of Education
and the Oregon Junior Var
sity, will provide a new test
of the system setting 60 points
as a game. The first team
reaching that quota wins. Half
time is called when one team
reaches 25 points.

Norwegian Skiers
Take Norge Meet
Fox River Grove, 111., Jan. 16
ff) The Norwegian ski team,
led by Hans Bjornstad swept the
first three places and eight out
of the first 12 to dominate the

jumping championships yester
day.
Bjornstad, with leaps of 194
and 198 feet and a total of 224.9
distance-form po 1 n t s , won the
senior division. A crowd of about
12,000 watched the jumpers in

turns on a hill packed with shav
ed ice in the absence of snow.
Most of their cheers were for
Brooklyn's Art Tokle who out
jumped the Norwegian aces but
failed to match their form.
Tokle leaped 200 and then 208
feet, bettering by five feet the
hill's record set by Art Devlin of
Lake Placid, N.Y., three years
ago. Tokle finished fourth with
220.8 points.
