Rules Makers
Plot Against
Sky Scrapers
Kansas City W) The basket
bail rules makers are plotting
again against the big man and
the referee s fast whistle.
They're getting a good ear'
tul of gripes against the so-
called "one and one" rule but
don't count this regulation out
when, the official book la re
worded here this week.
Coaches from throughout the
country held a five-hour pre
liminary screening session here
Sunday night at which these
were the chief topics of conver
sation:
1. The "one and one" rule
which gives a player victim
of common foul two chances
to make one basket until the
last three minutes of the game
when he gets two shots regard
less. The common four is one
committed when not In the act
of shooting and which before
this season incurred only one
free throw.
2. Widening of the free throw
lane from six to 12 feet to meet
Olympic regulations. The pros
also have a. 12-foot lane.
3. A written directive In the
rule book to officials that they
use Judgment in calling fouls
and that they not make a call
on a play not affecting the
game or not giving player an
unfair advantage.
Harrison Wins
St. Petersburg
Open With 266
St. Petersburg, Fla. (U.R) E.
J. (Dutch) Harrison, seldom a
winner but usually well up on
professional golfs annual list
of money-winners, shot a five-under-par
68 in the final round
to Win the $10,000 St. Petern-
burg Open yesterday with a re-tord-tying
268 for the 72-holes.
Harrison won the Havana
Open last December but the
triumph here was his first in a
U. S. tournament since he cap
tured the 1951 Blng Crosby
.pro-Amateur. His last round
spree enabled him to match
the tournament record set last
year by Jack Burke, Jr., of
nounon, Tex.
Harrison, a pro for 23 years,
had to sweat out his one-
stroke victory over Dick Mayer
of St. Petersburg and Chick
Herbert of Northvllle, Mich.
Mayer and Harbert missed
chances to force a three-way
play-off by flubbing three-foot
putts on the final hole.
Hubert finished with a
teven-under-par 64 and Mayer
HTM a 67 to tie at 267.

though undefeated The Dalles,
ranked No. 1 In the Associated
Press poll, Is the choice of many
observers.
Afarshfleld, Medford, Eu
gene, Hillsboro and Cleve
land of Portland, ranked la
that order behind The Dalles,
also have support among the
experts. But so does almost
every one of the other ent
ries in the It-team meet.
- Only eight of the schools
which competed last year are
sending teams back. They are
Central Catholic, a 1952 final
ist; The Dalles, Marshfleld,
Hillsboro, Salem, Astoria, Mil
waukie and Cleveland.
There is no single outstand
ing crowd attraction to match
7-foot one-inch Wade (Swede)
Halbrock, record scorer of last
years champion, Lincoln of
Portland. But the tournament
won't lack for individual stars.
One Is Marshfleld's Tom
Crabtree, who made the all
state second teams of 1951
and 1952.
A few others are Bill Moore
of The Dalles, Ed Bingham of
Medford, Fred Kroush and
Spike HlUstrom of Marshfleld,
Phil McHugh of Central Cath
olic, Bon Nenow, Ron Smart of
Astoria, Jack Bishop of Salem,
Loren Mlchelson of Hillsboro

In 38 years.
Marshfleld and Clatskanle
will meet In the Tuesday night
opener, with Central Catholic

Amerk League
Expected to
Approve Moves
By LEO H. PETERSEN
Tampa, Fla. U.F0 Ameri
can League club owners, ov
erriding angry objection!
from the "high brass" of minor-league
baseball, were ex
pected to vote formal unani
mous approval today of the
St, Louis Browns' transfer
to Baltimore.
And a similar 1-0 "yes"
vote Is almost certain when
the question of the Boston
Braves' shift to Milwaukee is
put formally before the Na
tional League elub owners
Wednesday. '
"There la better than an
even chance that the Browns
will operate In Baltimore and
the Braves in Mllwaukle to
start the 1953 season," said
Commissioner Ford Frlck, af
ter a high level meeting of
baseball officials In Bellalr,
Fla., yesterday.
Seven club owners were
present for today's American
League meeting in hotel
here, with general manager
Joe Cronln representing ab
sent owner Tom Tawkey of
the Boston Red Sox. Only
six "yes" votes are needed
and all eight have already
voted informally In favor of
the transfer.
In similar fashion, all eight
National League owners have
Indicated approval of the
Braves' switch to Milwaukee.
Frlck yesterday warned
both the Browns and the
Braves that they could not
move their teams unless the
International League, which
presently Includes the Balti
more Orioles, and the Amer
ican Association, Including
the Milwaukee Brewers,
save ineir approval.

Seton Hall
Wins NIT Title
On 58-46 Win
New York WV-The finals
of the National Invitation
Tournament in which Seton
Hall defeated St. John's of
Brooklyn, 98-46, came some
what aa a relief to those fans
who prefer a well knit defense
to the . helter skelter style
that so often marks modern
day basketball.
Offensively Seton Hall's
top-seeded Pirates did not
play their usual fine game.
And the Redmen from Brook
lyn never could get going.
But the largest Madison
Square Garden basketball
turnout on record, 18,496, saw
a tense struggle Saturday
night in which defense played
a major role.
Lanky Walt Dukes of Seton
Hall who won the tourna
ment's most valuable player
trophy and was named to the
first all-star team by the Asso
ciated Press, led the scoring
with 21 points and grabbed off
20 rebounds.
