C. JONES . Capital Journal Sporls Edilor NAPA, Calif. (Special) Manager Hugh Luby today is entertain ing the idea of leaving Cor Salem two days early if the Salem area . weather forecast is encouraging. It's a cinch no good is being accora , plishcd in Napa by trying to wait out a determined rain spell. .4 Luby this morning called around the Oakland and Sacramento i valley to try to find a dry field somewhere and called Eureka on ! their weather situation. Even in that area, where the Senators are to play twice this week-end, they reported 1.67 inches of rainfall in the last 24 hours. May Come Direct ;' -Luby said that chances are that if the Senators can't play at Eureka, they will go directly to Salem. The "occasional rain" forecast Dorne out in me baiem honalors spring training site witn zu mile winds being thrown in extra. The result was a gloomy face on Man ager Luby, whose players have done their exercise moving from one chair to another in the hotel lobby. Not since last Saturday have they played a game and they've : had less than two hours of outside activitv. ? Today's Game Called Wednesday's two games with Wenatchee and the Napa All-Stars were postponed and so was today's rematch with Wenatchee. The Chiefs, training at Petaluma, were to leave for home today ahead of the previous plans because of the rain. Friday, originally an open date for Salem, was designated for making up the Napa con- . test but it will take plenty of sun to make the Napa field playable. i Luby offered first baseman Dick Traverst a contract yesterday and is expecting an answer today from the rookie, who played his oUege ball at Sacramento Juco. PCC-TVPIans On Five Games Conference Schools to Vote on Television Pact This Week SEATTLE tfl Plans for tele vising Pacific Coast Conference football on five Saturdays next fall have been completed but are being kept secret until the conference can express an opinion.

The National Collegaite Ahtletic Assn., also must approve. In addition to the five regional dates, three West Coast teams will be seen on national television.

JONES, Capital NAPAi Calif. Disillusioned nian weather which rained out sity, tt-e weren t going co leave me Gripping campus wmium a slory of some kind. Alter all, when the boss sent us inlo the sunshine he expected something besides notices ot rainouls. So we looked up the University of California baseball coach, George Wolfman. and visited the Bears' spring foolball practice. One was dry, the other wet but undaunted. Wolfman is an old friend of Hugh Luby's, having played as catcher for the old San Francisco Missions of the Pacific Coast league in 1934 and 1835 just before Luby came out to Ihe PCL. "1 watched Hugh play for Oakland many years and got to know him real well," Wolfman said. Wolfman later coached at Mission High In S.F. and after coming (0 U. of California coached such major Iragtccrsto he as Jackie Jensen and Sam Chapman. This year's Bear nine is weak defensively, having lost four to CSC, splitting with UCLA and losing exhibitions to teams of Major Stars and Minor Stars. They beat VSF, Santa Clara, Oregon Slate, Oregon, Stanford, Chico State, San Francisco State and Cal. Aggies. HOW TO INFl.l'KNCF. PF.Ol'I.F. Over at Memorial Stadium we stood in the rain with a sports, minded student who comes from Vallejo, and, not letting him know we arc nosey, c asked him about how come College of l'acilic was able to get the famous Vallejo prep halfback, Dick Bass. Well, this student with the soggy crew-cut and the wet physics laboratory workbook happened to know a person who knows Bass's father and also some of Bass' teammates who helped him score a touchdown about every third time he carried the ball. COP's otter was too much to resist, It Is reported, and he rather preferred a smaller college "berause of fewer demands on his study lime." Kick's a studious boy, e were told. The offers are reputed to Include freshman year scholarships to the first 11 players on the Vallejo prep team, 1 scholarship to Dick's girl friend and a job for his father. He is said to have received offers from pro learns already at Ihe lender age of Bass' understudy as halfback divided his time between baseball bat and breaking 49 seconds in the quarter mile. With more days in the week and with more heads he could leller in tennis or golf. Anyway, Coach Pappy Waldorf of Cal and his eight assistants were herding 93 grid prospects around in quest of a quarterback lo replace Paul Larson. Waldorf, wearing a blue parks, fcwthall pants and lowcuts, has a freshman hotshot QH from Sarramentn named something like Gus Grinaulius who also hits ,4'ifl for the frosh baseball team. That must be quite a tugof war between Waldorf and Wolfman.
