Inaccurate Passing Slows
. Up At Start Pollard,
Star Out of Game.
Kansas City, March 28 (Pi
Hitting their stride in the last
10 minute tonight, the Stan
lord Indians slipped into a three-polnt-a-mlnute
pace against Dart
mouth to transform a tight game
Into 33-38 rout and win the
N. C. A. A. basketball champion
ship mefore 6,000 spectators.
- Inaccurate passing nearly cost
the big Californians the game,
but they assembled themselves
just in time to dissolve Dart
mouth leads and finally wound
up in a flurry of field goals.
Jim Pollard, the sensational
sophomore, was not in suit for
Stanford, having suffered a si
nus infection yesterday which
put him in bed with a high tem
perature. He was on the side
lines tonight without a fever, but
Coach Everett Dean preferred to
keep him out of action.
The Pacific coast boys started
out as If they sorely missed Pol
lard and trailed by six points at
one time in the first half
Dartmouth poured through spec
tacular one-handed shots. But
Sophomore Howard Dallmar, a
big, galloping guy, came to the
rescue with 11 points to tie the
count before the hall time gun
Then Jack Dana took a long pass
nd plunked the strings to give
Stanford a Z4-ZZ lead.
. In the first five minutes of the
final period, Dartmouth had
knoted the score twice and
pulled ahead, 27-26, on George
Munroe's charity. It was the last
point the Hanover .Indians got
lor five minutes.
During that time, Dallmar,
voted the game's most valuable
player, poked in a one-hander
nd fast Fred Llnarl dribbled
furiously down the floor to plas
ter another basket. That put
Stanford into a three-point ad
vantage which began multiply
ing with the regularity of a
metronome.
. In 90 seconds, Dallmar, Dana.
td Voss and Bill Cowden had
turned the nets for seven points
as Stanford cruised into a 37-29
lead and Dartmouth collapsed.

JOE LOUiS KAYOS
New Vork, March 28 (Pi
Massive Abe Simon and his
pilot, Jimmy Johnston, still
were prattling about the Injus
tice of it all today, but the army
emergency relief fund heavy
weight championship bout at
Madison Square Garden Friday
night goes down In the records
as a knockout victory for Joe
Louis in 16 seconds of the sixth
round.
Not that there was even one
rugged Individualist In the
crowd of 18,220 fans who ex
pected a different ending. The
fans, who contributed a gross
gate of $132,430.41, knew that
eventually Abe's lumpy torso
would be stretched out on the
soiled canvas.
But when the end did come,
Abe was not stretched out. He
painfully was hoisting himself
erect at the count of 10, and he
and Johnston vehemently claim
Abe beat the count.
He had gone down twice be
fore, the bell stopping the count
each time. In the second round
he toppled like a felled tree, and
his seconds churned out like
tugboats to nudge the groggy
Leviathan into dock and ad
minister first aid. The count
had reached two. -
The end of the fifth found
Simon seated placidly in his own
corner. The count reached six
before his emergency squad
could clamber up the steps to
hoist him high enough to shove
a stool under him.
Not that Abe didn't have his
moments. As early as the first
round he withstood as heavy
bombardment as ilie champion
of champions could muster. He
didn't go down, and as the bell
clanged to start the second round
he grinned affably at the re
feree, giving a prodigious wink
to show that everything was
under control.
It was, for a minute or so.
Like a huge, hairy mole he kept
boring in, so awkwardly he posi
tively was clever, and the ever
patient Louis waited, waited,
waited for a chance to crash
through those big arms and start
his usual murderous flurry of
blows.
He finally caught Abe late In
the round, crashing rights and
lefts off the lantern jaw until
Abe Just crumpled.
It seemed Impossible that the
giant could come out for the
third round, but he not only
came out, he won an edge in it,
as well as in the fourth, although
the thi was taken from him
because of an accidental low
blow.
Louis got the range again In
the fifth, and the knockdown
Just before the bell was the pre
lude to the finale. Louis just
walked out to start the sixth,
swung a left hook and a crush
ing right, and Abe went down.-)
lie crawled to the ropes, and
Referee Eddie Josephs rultd the
giant still was down at 10.

OF LESSER STAR
Greensboro, N. C, March 28
AP) The lesser lights of golf
gave the game's big names a
thorough beating in the $5,500
Greensboro open today and held
the four first places at the half
way point in the 72-hole event.
Leading the parade were Sam
Byrd, the one-time New York
Yankee outfielder, and slugging
Jimmy Thomson, who were
deadlocked at 136.
Rod Mundoy of the lefthanded
putts missed two out of 15 today
and slid from first place to third,
a stroke off the pace. He added
a par 81 to his record opening
68.
Two strokes farther back at
139 were Ben Loving of Spring
field. Mass., and Chandler Har
per of Portsmouth, V, never a
winner, though he has been in
the money in every tournament
this year. As if to clinch the
argument for the underdogs,
Byrd and Loving won scorinc
honors for the day with sparkl
ing 67s.
Buried In seventh place carm

favorites, defending champioi

sounded a warning of his cominf
challenge with a solid 68. a great
round of golf that pleased him,
even though he three-putted two
greens and missed an 18-inch
putt on the home hole. He was
even at 140 with Paul Runyan
two-time PGA king, plaving dan'
gerous golf for the veterans.

1'4 TEAM BASEBALL
LEAGUE FORMED
AT MEEHIAY
Dorris, Klamath Falls,
Grants Pass And Craters
Will Open May 15-16.
Formation of a new four-team
baseball loop, named the Oregon-California
league, was ac
complished at a meeting here
Friday night, with Medford.
Klamath Falls, Grants Pass and
Dorris, CaU awarded fran
chises. The schedule calls for each
team to play 24 games, twice
a week on Saturday and Sunday
for 12 weeks. The Klamath
Falls Pelicans will open against
the Medford Craters at Med
ford and Grants Pass will travel
to Dorris In Inaugural clashes
May 16 and 17. The season will
close August IS and 16.
Elected president of the new
circuit was Dom Provost of
Ashland. E. E. McKinney, sec
retary of the Medford Athletic
association, was named secre
tary-treasurer of the league.
Medford and Klamath Falls,
which have lighted fields, will
play night baseball on Satur
day nights at home, while
Grants Pass and Dorris plan
twilight tilts on Saturdays at
home. However, it was brought
out at the meeting that if the
government adds another hour
to the wa.vime daylight saving
all Saturday games would prob
ably be twilight affairs.
Financial arrangements
agreed upon include the pay
ment by the Craters of a flat
guarantee of $60 a series to
visiting clubs, the payment of
$50 a series to visiting teams
at the three other loop towns,
and the posting by each team
of a $25 forfeit bond to insure
their finishing the season. An
other meeting will be held it
Klamath Falls the night of
April 11 to draft by-laws.
Official representatives at the
confab were C. H. Davis, Med
ford; Fred Roper, Grants Pass:
Bob Howard, Klamath Falls
and Red Talbert, Dorris. Dutch
Lieber will manage the Med
ford entry, Talbert the Dorris
Lumberjacks, while no skippers
for the Klamath Falls and
Grants Pass clubs have been
named. Representatives voted
against the split season.
The new league will replace
the Oregon State loop In Med
ford and Klamath Falls, whose
teams were dropped from the
latter wheel because of travel
difficulties. Grants Pass was
long a member of the defunct
Southern Oregon league, and
Dorris has operated in the
Northern California league in
past years.
