OREGON COLLEGE, Mon
mouth According to an an

claimants for the Colored World's
Basketball Championship, will
play the OCE Wolves in a spe
cial exhibition game on February

which was cancelled due to a seri
ous automobile accident in which
several members of the Roamer
Girls team were injured.
A pre-game activity, and half
time program has also been
planned to provide the crowd
with a full evening of entertain
ment. City Leaguers

Tonight
The Mighty Atlas, the one with
out the world on his shoulders,
will be the newest color to be
inserted into the Tuesday night
wrestling show at the Salem Ar
mory. This muscled figure, a national
television star who can bend iron
bars as though they were soggy
maccarnni, will test his power on
Danno MacDonald in one of the
two main events offered by El
ton Owen, matchmaker. j
McDonald, a fast moving
Scotchman from Nova Scotia, is
stingy with his admiration for j
Atlas and will give "Muscles" his j
share of trouble. I
Atlas will try to convince fans !
of his strength in a prc-match '
feat j or two. Then McDonald
will give him the acid test in
their scrap.
This will be two out of three
falls or a 45-minute limit.
Climax of the evening will be
one of those tag team matches
which fans have learned to love
for their severity and flavor. Kurt
van Poppenheim and The Great
Yamato will take their curtain
calls at the villais against John
Hcnning and Ivvan Kameroff.
Henning was strong and quick
in tag team loss last week with
David Jons, while Kameroff put
Ivan Gorky out of action with his
bear hug.
In the special event at 8:30,
Pepper Gomel and George Du
settc, the potent Frenchman, will
squire off.
6-7 Shelby
Big Viking
Obstacle
A strong sixth rated Albany
squad plays the Salem high Vik
ings tonight at the Salem high
gym as the Vikings go after their
fourth Big Six win against two
losses. The visiting Bulldogs are
given a slight edge over the Vik
ings as Albany has 6-7 center
Dave Shelby to lead their scoring
attack. Game time is eight.
The preliminary game matches
Lee Gustafson's Salem high jun
ior varsity and the Albany JVs
in a 6:15 clash. Salem has lost
one game all year in competition
with other schools and that
came at the hands of the Eugene
JVs Friday night.
balem s probable starting line
up will be Tom Pickens and
Wayne Ericksen'at the forwards,
Bob Wulf at center, and Jim
Knapp and Gordy Domogalla at
the guards. Don Crothers may
start at one forward and Herb
Triplett may start at a guard.
Salem has lost to Eugene and
Corvallis in Big Six play. They
have beaten Springfield once
and Bend twice for their three
wins, but now face the real rough
going.
Friday and Saturday, the Vik
ings, coached by Harold Hauk,
travel to Coos Bay for a crucial
series with the strong defend
ing state champion Marshfield
Pirates. Then the Vikings get
back into the Big Six wars with
games with Corvallis, Eugene, Al
bany and Springfield in the next
few weeks.
Albany has lost only to Red
mond, 65-60: McMinnville, 62-56,
and Corvallis, 47-45.
Zaharias and
Davis Receive
Honors
PHILADELPHIA Iff A youth
who. doctors said, would never
walk but who later leaped to a
world's high jump record, and a
woman athlete who triumphed over
cancer, were honored Monday
night as the most courageous ath
letes of 1953.
The Philadelphia Sports Writers
Assn., celebrated its golden an
niversary by presenting its annual
award to Walter (Budy) Davis,
a 1952 Olympic Champion, and
Mrs. George (Babe) Didrikson Za
harias, the outstanding woman ath
lete and golfer of the half century.
Davis was stricken by polio at
the age of eight. Doctors said he
never would walk properly.
But the medics were diagnosing
along strict scientific lines.
Davis recovered sufficiently to
walk, then run, then bicycle. He
regained the use of his limbs and
went to Nederlands, Tex., high
School, and then to Texas AOM
College where he became a track
and basketball star.
He passed up pro basketball of
fers for a year after his gradua
tion, concentrating on an ambition
to break the world record for the
high jump. This he accomplished
last June 27, in the national AAU
track and field meet with a leap
of 6 feet, 11 'i inches.

Kentucky Trio
May Be Kept
From Tourney
LEXINGTON, Ky. HV-A news
paper s report that three top Ken
tucky basketball players apprent-
ly will be ineligible for the NCAA
Tournament started a flurry of ac
tion on the campus today.
Athletic Director Bcrnie Shlvcly
said he would look into the matter
immediately.
In a story appearing in today's
Louisville Courier-Journal, staff
writer Larry Boeck said Cliff Ha
gan, Frank Ramsey and Lou
Tsioropoulos apparently are inel
igible for the tournament under
an NCAA rule disqualifying grad
uate students.
Tsioropoulos received his bach
elor of arts degree last August.
Hagan, an All America center two
years ago, and Ramsey expect to
receive their degrees at the end
of the current semester this month.
Thus, Kentucky, the nation's top
ranked collegiate team, would be
deprived of the services of its one-two-three
scoring punch if it hopes
to try for the national champion
ship. Kentucky's one-year suspension
from basketball competition for
overemphasizing the sport brought
on the new difficulties. Although
maintaining their playing eligibili
ty in the Southeastern Conference,
the players continued to progress
academically.
Bears Only Coast
Quint in Top 10
NKW YORK U.R Only one
West Coast basketball team ranks
in the top 10 in the weekly United
Press rutin)!!, with California's
Golden Bears holding down a tie
for sixth place with Minnesota.
Oregon State, still favored for
the Northern Division title, ranks
17th, while Idaho, Seattle, UCLA
and Santa Clara received one or
two voles, and were below the
top 20.
Oregon, the ND leader, got no
support from the coaches, while
Oklahoma City, beaten 79-64 by
Seattle last night, ranked ICth
with 13 votes compared to .only
one vote for the Chieftains.
Milvaukie Holds
(By Tht AuMltUd Preu)
Milwaukie's orphans, uore im
pressive with every game, defeat
ed two mora teams in the past
week and solidified their position
at the top of the weekly Asso
ciated Press poll on Oregon High
bchool basketball.
The two victories made it 13
straight for the homeless Mil-
waukie players, who at long last
will get a home next week-end.
Construction of their new basket
ball floor will be completed, and
Milwaukie will be able for the
first time this season to play at
home.
Corvallit Holds Second
All but one of the sports writ
ers taking part in the weekly poll
named Milwaukie as the No. 1
team in the state. Corvallis held
to the No. 2 position and Marsh-
field to No. 3.
Eugene, despite impressive
victories over Cottage Grove and
balem, slipped a notch from the
No. 4 position. Roosevelt of Port
land also won two games and
moved up from No. 5 to take
Eugene's place.
Gresham, rated No. 6 last
week, lost to Milwaukie and Cen
tral Catholic and fell' out of the
fop 10. Albany, tied for tenth
place last week, vaulted into the
No. 6 position. Albany was idle in
the past week.
Grants Pass defeated Klamath
Falls in a pair of games and
moved up from No. 8 to seventh
place.
Baker Vp to 8th
Baker, tied with Albany for
tenth place last week, also ad
vanced, getting the No. 8 spot.
Redmond was the enly team
besides Milwaukie to get a vote
for first place, but that did not
stop the Central Oregon team
from tumbling from seventh to
ninth place. Redmond suffered
defeats at the hands of Burns
and Lakeview last week-end.
Central Catholic of Portland
barely managed, to stay in the
top 10, getting the tenth spot aft
er splitting a pair of games last
week.

Maxim to Challenge Moore
For Lightheavy Title Wed.
By MURRAY ROSE
MIAMI. Fla. (fl It's a long
time between Jack'Dempsey in
Toledo in 1919 end Joey Maxim
in 1954 but the old Doc still is
in there pitching.
Pitching harder than ever, and
successfully, too, moving a couple
of - tigers like Dempsey and
Mickey Walker was a cinch. Tak
ing a punchless fighter like Joey
Maxim and hustling him into sev
en title fights puts Jack (Doc)
Kearns in line for the grand medal
of porsistance and salesmanship.
ino. 7 lor joey comes up Wednes
day night in Miami stadium with
Light Heavyweight Champion
Archie Moore the party of the
second part for the third time in
a row.
Selling this one again rates Doc
another medal. And if Joey and
Doc get lucky don t be too sur
prised if Doc comes up with anoth
er big one a heavyweight title
shot,
Handsome Joey had one crack
at boxing's biggest prize but he
lost to bzzard Charles. He won
three 175-pound title fights and lost
two, both to Moore.
"Why my killer will murder
Moore this time," said Doc Mon
day, his blue eyes twinkling.
"When Joey gets that title back-
we'll be after Marclano (Heavy
weight Champion i Rocky Marcia-
no) for his."
