Shift of Dodgers
To LA Subject
Of Loop Monday
Los Angeles U.R) Plans to
shift the Brooklyn Dodgers to
Los Angeles will be discussed in
New York Monday at a secret
meeting called, by President
Warren Giles of the National
Baseball League, the Los An
geles Herald-Express said last
night -
The newspaper said it receiv
ed a tip on the meeting from a
"highly authentic" source. .
It had been previously an
nounced that the proposed in-
1: -i I'm i xi
vasion oi v-auiunua oy me ma
jor, leaguer would be discussed
at the-National League's annual
meeting in New York ".Dec. 9.
: The newspaper said it learned
that the special meeting was
called without publicity, to off
set possible plans in the Ameri
can League to expand to 10
clubs at the earliest possible opportunity.
sometime after the 10th round.
However, neither man is noted
for his prowess as a knocker-
outer. Carter has 26 kayoes in
93 fights, DeMarco only seven
in 81.
"I think I'll get to him some
time after the 10th round," says
Carter.
Lays Lou Jo Slow Start
He blames a slow start when
he lost the decision and the
crown to Paddy last March.
Carter has held the title off-and-on
since first winning it
from Ike Williams in 1951. He
probably is the most "inconsis
tent" champion inv history with
a record of always winning the
second time around against any
foe he lost to the first time.
He lost the crown to Lauro
Salas in May, 1952, regained it
from him in October of the same
year. He also lost to Art Ara
gon in 1951 in a non-title go,
then won when the title was at
stake the same year from the
same man. He lost in 1953 to
Armand Savoie in a non-title
go, then knocked Savoie out
in the fifth round of a title
bout.
So, if history repeats itself, he
should win over DeMarco.
But DeMarco has a victory
campaign mapped out. He fig
ures that no matter which way
Carter fights, he'll still- keep
the crown. .
"If Carter starts , fast," says
DeMarco, "I'll be ready for him;
and if he starts slow, he'll find
that he has been left behind."
Postponed Twice
DeMarco, who forced post
ponement of this fight twice,
first with an injury, then an ill
ness, has been in rigorous train
ing here for more than a month.
But he hasn't had a fight since
winning the crown from Carter
in March. (Many think that will
throw his timing off.
The champion's record, in fact
is a bit spotty over the last
couple of years. Before winning
the crown from Carter, he drop
ped three split decisions in a
row to Johnny Gonzalves, Or
lando Zulueta and Tony DeMar
co. v.. - .. -
Carter's only loss in his last
seven bouts was the title go to
DeMarco.
The complete records show:
DeMarco 81 fights, '68 won,
11 lost and two draws, with sev
en - knockouts; Carter 93
fights, 68 won, 17 lost and eight
draws, with 26 knockouts.

Ralph Kiner
Sees Series
Opportunity
Palm Springs, Calif. (U.R)
Ralph Kiner, Cleveland's high
salaried, home run-hitting ac
quisition from the National
League, said today, he almost
lost hope of playing in a World
Series before his surprise trade
to the pennant-winning Indians.
"Every balk player wants to
play in that one," said Kiner. "I
guess the last time I seriously
thought I might make it was in
1948 with the Pirates."
Pittsburgh finished fourth
that year and then settled deep
in the NL second division de
spite Kiner's steady home run
production. In 1933, the Pirates
sold him to another second di
vision team with only the faint
est pennant hopes, the Cubs, who
traded him to Cleveland.
First Good Chance
"It's . the first really good
chance I've had of making a
series since I started playing in
the majors," said Kiner. Seven
National League clubs signed
waivers on the slugger, whose
salary is estimated at $60,000 a
year.
Only 32 years old, Kiner said
he was in "swell shape" and
could see "no reason at all why
I shouldn't have a fine season"
with the Indians next year. He
hit 22 homers with the Cubs
last year while his best season
was 54 four-baggers in 1949.
"And I'd like to play at least
another four seasons!" he said.
Kiner said he thought playing
with b better ball club would
take some of the pressure off
his shoulders. ,
. "It's always much easier to
play when you're winning," he
said. "When you're losing you
always look back and take it out
on yourself for not doing
better."
Red Dawson
To Quit Pitt
- Pittsburgh flJ.R) The Uni
versity of Pittsburgh postponed
consideration of a successor to
football coach Lowell (Red) Daw
son today until after the season
finale against Penn State on Sat
urday. '
Athletic Director Tom Hamil
ton, who has been acting coach
since Dawson was stricken with
a heart ailment Oct. 12, said that
"There will be no comment onJ
any suggested" successors to
Dawson until after the end of
the season.
Third Year
Dawson, in the third year of
a three-year contract, resigned
as Pitt's head coach Tuesday tb
enter the business world. Red
said his decision was made be
fore the season began.
The 47-year-old Dawson, who
has coached football for 22 years,
said he wanted to wait until after
the Pitt-Penn State game to
make the announcement, but,
since he was "tired of being the
object of speculation," he an
nounced his decision to quit
sooner. v: 1

point for Cincinnati, but the
players sure did. They wanted to
to break that long winning
stream. We jpdfcches were more
concerned w!jwinning games
in the Missfiri Valley Confer
ence. Afteftwe have a good
shot at thetBJ&find in nine years
in the conjience we've won
only one crown and that was in

Trio Expected to Divide Profits
In NCAA Grid Statistics Tussle
New York (U.R) The firm of
Shaw, Larson and Dawson will
close up shop Saturday and
divide its profits, evidently with
each member getting his fair
share. ' '
The firm consists of George
Shaw of Oregon, Paul Larson ,of
California and Leonard Dawson
of Purdue. Its business is T-quar-terbacking
and its product is
passing yardage by the gross.
The profits are various major
college championships in total
offense and passing departments.
The way it looks now, in the
weekly audit released by the
Refs Organize
For Hoop Season
Organization of high school
basketball referees of Jackson
and Josephine counties under
the commissioner set-up was ad
vanced last night in a meeting
at Crater high school at Central
Point.
Jean Eberhart, Ashland, will
serve as commissioner this year.
He will assign officials for all
games and will serve as a go
between in matters between the
schools and arbiters.
A spokesman for the officials
said today that all the schools
of the valley, A and B; will go
along with the plan. The ref
erees association here will work
with the Klamath county asso
ciation in assigning officials for
Southern Oregon Conference
hoop contests.'
The refs contemplate frequent
meetings during the season.
Their next session will be on
Friday, December 3, following
the Southern Oregon' Conference
jamboree at Grants Pass. They
will convene the following Mon
day at Grants Pass. Probably 12
officials' will be assigned to the
jamboree. .
Forty to 50 coaches and offic
ials attended the meeting last
night, Eberhart and Virgil Swan
son presided.''.
NCAA Service Bureau, Mr.
Shaw has the total offense and
Mr. Larson the pass completion
and completion percentage cate
gories wrapped up. And Mr,
Dawson, a sophomore partner, is
shooting for the touchdown-pass
and pass yardage honors.
Larson Guns For Title
However, Mr. Larson is going
to make a serious effort to get
that total offense title away
from Mr. Shaw, since only twice
before has a total offense leader
been able to hang on to his
crown for a second year. Bob
Fenimore of Oklahoma A & M
did it in 1944-43 and Johnny
Bright of Drake in 1949-50.
The actual figures in the case
go like this: In total offense,
Shaw has 1,415 yards, Larson
1,375, Dawson 1,309. In pass
completions, Larson has 111,
Shaw 86, Dawson 81. In passing
yardage, Dawson has 1,400, Lar
son 1,387, Shaw 1,233. Dawson
has thrown 14 touchdown passes
to 10 for Army's Pete Vann and
Boston University's Tom Gastall,
and Larson, who has thrown 173
times, has completed 64.2 per
cent of his efforts.
