I,0S ANGELES Wl-He Is now 40
and has been away from baseball
for four years, but Joe DiMaggio
would be Interested in getting back
in some capacity, if and when the
major leagues comes to the West
Coast.
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."

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.

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. Roadkiugs Will
Play at Molalla
MOLALLA Preparations are
complete for this Saturday night's
basketball game in Molalla high
gym when Harlem Roadkings
play against Canby KCs team.
There will be a preliminary game
at 7 p.m. between Concord grade
school and Molalla grade school
boys.
Bud Collins, ace veteran of the
Roadkings, returns with his su
perb dribbling act. clowning and
clever ball handling. 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.

By ED WILKS
The Associated Press
The upset streak finally has been
upset in college basketball.
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

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.
Freeman had held the No. 1
spot since the start of the season,
but Floyd began closing in two
weeks ago. He has scored 228
points in his last six games, an
average of 38 per contest. 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.

game. A year ago Furman ended
tne season with a record 91.7 a
game.

Pacing Pros
NEW YORK (UP)-Fronk Selvy
and Bob Pettit. 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.

Don Carter Far Back
In Open Round
at Chicago
CHICAGO Ufi Three former
champions were far off the pace
and Detroit bowlers grabbed most
of the glory Thursday in the open
ing round of match play finals in
the National All-Star Bowling
Tournament.
Two of the Motor City's top
ranking keglers, Tom Hennessey
ond Ed Lubanski, members of the
Detroit Strohs, ranked first and
second after the day's firing of 16
games. Three of the remaining
four Detroit bowlers among the
16 finalists in the four days of
match play ending Sunday finished
in the first division.
But defending champion Don
Carter and two former tilleholders
got off to poor starts and were in
the second division. Carter, the
St. Louis sharpshooter who has
won the All-Star crown the last
two vears. finished his 16 games
with a record of 6 games won and
10 lost. He was in 10th place with
a Petersen point total of 71.46.
Hennessey, credited with 11

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.
