The Yankee Clipper, a bit thin ner than his , 187-pound playing weight and his hair flecked wi!h gray, was in a reflective mood when a reporter found him loung ing in a Hollywood hotel lobby yes terday. "I'm clad I Dlaved ball when I did," he said. "In my era we had great rookies coining up in hands- ful every spring. Now, II mere is a Willie Mays onco in two years, baseball people consider them' selves lucky. I think there are too many buildings and not enough va cant lots. Maybe the Little League will fill the gap, eventually." Joe says he's still mulling over what he'll do for the rest of his life. He said be lias rejected many business offers. Financially, he's fairly secure, but he says he needs to tie into something that is both interesting and permanent. "If I had a chance to catch on in the majors in an executive ca pacity after the majors come here I'd like that." he said. "But 1 don't want to leave California. I'm happy here. I divide my time be tween Los Angeles and San l'ran cisco." 'Rookie' Pro Leads Women TAMPA.

Klamath Not To Join Loop KLAMATH FALLS The new Northwest Baseball League's search for an eighth member cily will have to turn to some place oilier than Klamath Falls, Bob Thompson said Friday. Thompson, local businessma who has been trying to line up backing for a Klamath Falls team to fill out the league, said tnere was no chance at all and he had so advised league officials Thurs day.

FOOTBALLS TO GRIDDERS An added halftlme feature of tonight's Northwest conference hoop clash between Willamette and Pacific at the Willamette Gymnasium will be the presen tation of gold footballs to the members of the co-champion football team. The teams most valuable player and honorary captain also will be announced. The Bearcats play powerful Pa cific University at the Willamette gymnasium tonight at 8 o'clock and tomorrow evening in Forest Grove. Hubert Is the hot shooting lad who is currently enjoying a 25.8 point-a-game average and who has paced his Badger mates to a 4-1 conference mark, good for second place. As a matter of fact, the only team able to defeat Pacific in 10 gomes to date has been Col lege ol Idaho and they wax almost everybody. Counters with Causbie One of Lewis' ideas for at least countering any of Hubert's efforts might come in the person of 6-7 Neil Causbie, the large sophomore who came into his own last week against the Coyotes when he scored 37 and 31 on consecutive nights. It just might happen that Lewis feels Causbie can match Hubert basket fur basket and the rest of his club can more than take care of Pacific. If that is the case, Salem hoop fans will be in for a high scoring clash, one that might see a North west conference record. Could Gain Tie The Idea foremost in Willamette minds at the moment is to sweep both games- and move into a tie for the runnerup spot behind the Coyotes of Caldwell. The rest of the Willamette start ing five wiil probably includo Tom Gooding and Dick Hoy at forwards and Dave Gray and Daryl Girod in ine guard slots, all good scorers and rebounders. The Freshman teams from Pa cific and Willamette will get things starled both evenings with a 6:10 preliminary. League Cuts Night Games CHICAGO (UP- The Ameri can League, which now sprawls out 1.273 airline miles between Boston and Kansas City, reduced its 11155 nil'ht p.-imp tnlnl tn 9IMI games scheduled and the league's lall - timc high was 21S in 19..3. The 208 night game total for the American League contrasts with Ihe ull-time high of 250 scheduled by the more compact National League where the distance be tween the extreme points. New Vork and St. Louis is only 888 miles. Because of the lesser dis tances involved, it is possible for the National League to schedule more night games since less time is required for travel. Kansas Cily Night Games The new Kansas City club leads the way in night games witli a total of 40. That contrasts with the all-time major league high of ,6 scheduled by the St. Louis tor- dinals in the National League. Washington this season scheduled :I0 infill games while Baltimore! listed 34.

H PAVB WITH THE BOY S' fi eye L V '' I I - H , V 'vX i i j Says Maryland Charged Wrong No Violation of Rules, Terrapin Official Says COLLEGE PARK. Md. Ifl The case in which Maryland is accused by an accrediting group of violat ing rules relating to the recruit ing of athletes has been picked apart by a university official. He concluded: ". . .There is absolutely no vio lation of the recruiting rules of our (Atlantic Coast) Conference and the National Collegiate Ath letic Assn. by our athletic staff at Maryland." Dean Geary F. Eppley, chair man of the Faculty Athletic Coun cil detailed the circumstances un der which Tom Stefl of Browns ville, Pa., a tackle on the 1954 Maryland football team, came here. The Stefl case was cited by a survey team from the Middle States Assn of Colleges and Sec ondary Schools, which said Mary land violated recruiting rules by luring the young athlete away from Allegheny College at Mead ville. Pa. Eppley said the report had been misconstrued. He cited the NCAA and confer ence rule that "No member of an athletic staff or other official rep- rcscntative of athletic interests I shall solicit attendance at his in - stitution of any prospective student with offers of financial aid or equivalent inducements not per- mitted by his institution. He said he had statements signed by Stefl, members of his family, Warren Fntsch, his high school coach at Brownsville, and former line Coach Jack Hennemier of Maryland that the rule had not been violated. The dean said he also had con tacted Jim Weaver, ACC commis sioner, and president A. B. Moore of the NCAA and had been In formed that no complaint had ever been made to them about Mary land.

He will lead the band of zany ball players on the court and will be sur rounded by the finest talent that the Roadkings have had on the road. This game is sponsored by Mo lalla Rotarians, with proceeds to go to an all-sports banquet for the school athletes in the near future.

George Washington's ninth ranked Colonials, who earlier this week had a hand in one of Ine numerous form reversals, took charge of Virginia Tech in fine style 95-60 last night. That closed out a string of upsets among the nation's top 10 teams that had knocked off four kingpins in three nights this week. Illinois, No. 7 in this week's As sociated Press poll, was jolted by Iowa Monday: second - ranked Floyd College Leads Scoring NEW YORK ifi Major college basketball had a new scoring leader this week, Darrell Floyd of Furman, the school that produced the No. 1 point getter last season. Floyd, a junior who took over the high scoring duties after Frank Selvy graduated, is collecting points at an average of 35. t per game. A week ago Ohio State's Robin Freeman led with a 35.1 average, but he slipped this week to .14 0 Iho NrAA Slorvicp Rnrpail reported Friday. The figures are through games of Jan. . 15.

Last week in three games Floyd scored 109 points while Freeman had 33 in one game. Floyd has helped make Furman the nation's No. 1 offensive team. with an average of 98.3 points a game.

Milwaukee's two marvelous rookies, were atop the National Basketball Association scoring race today as the season reached the halfway mark. It was the second straight week lhat Selvy, former Furman star. and Pettit, former Louisiana State ace, had showed the way to their veteran opponents. This is the only lime in the history of the league that the two top scorers have been 1, rookies, or 2, members of the last-place team. Selvy held first place by the margin of a single basket, 783 points to 781. Bob Cousy of Boston stood third at 750 with Neil John ston of Philadelphia and Vern Mik kelsen of Minneapolis tied for fourth at 742. But. on the basis of average points per game, Johnston, the league's defending scoring cham pion, is out in front with an aver age of 21.2. His teammate Paul Arizin, a former scoring champ, is second with 20.9, and Milwau kee's two rookies have to settle for a tie for third at 20.6. Cousy stands fifth at 20.3 and is the only other player over the 20-mark.

Spokane Warned Of Need Baseball Club Has to Have $51,000 By Feb. 1 SPOKANE (PI The Spokane club in the new Northwest League has served notice on lo cal fans they must raise $51,000 in $25 stock sales by Feb. 1 if professional baseball is to be re vived here. C. C. Hunter, the cl'ib treas- urer, estimated he has about $20.- 000 in cash and pledges on hand now. He said another report meeting on stock sales will be held Thursday night. The club, organized on i com- munity-ovned basis by Spokane business men and fans, has been incorporated for $250,000 and hopes to sell $85,000 worth of stock to get started. Curt Haggerty, club president. said 60 per cent of the S85.000 must be raised before directors can spend any of the cash held escrow. That means $51,000 and sales must reach that figure by Feb. 1 if the club is to pick up an option on that date on Ferris Field. Ferris Field is the old home of the Spokane Indians in the Western International League and Roy Hotchkiss, the formci club owner, fixed $25,000 as tin total needed to pick up the op tion. Most of the stands and th .fence have been removed from Ferris Field. The new club would still have some building! and dressing rooms there bul would have to put up bleachers Hunter, whose son, Sam, onc played in the outfield for tht Indians, said about 80 salcsmer have been organized to sell stoe with purchasers limited to 4' shares each.
