Tennessee,
Seek Head
By UNITED PRESS
Head football coaching berths
were open at Tennessee and the
Citadel today, while Jim Tatum,
one of the nation's top mentors,
again was being urged to
switch from Maryland to the
University of North Carolina.
Harvey Robinson was fired as
boss-man at Tennesse and John
D. McMillian was released as
head coach at the Citadel Mon
day. Meanwhile, the University
of Pittsburgh named defensive
coach John Michelosen to sue-

. Eugene (U.R) Seattle un
iversity's go-go basjketball team,
tune-up victors over Western
Washington last Saturday, meets
sterner competition tonight as
it clashes here with the Univer
sity of Oregon of the Pacific
Coast conference.
. Seattle rolled over Western
Washington 85-48 but Coach Al
Brightman discovered several
bumpy spots in his defense
which need smoothing out if the
Chieftains are to down the
Ducks.
"Against Western our defense
was very ragged," Brightman
said. "Though the score didn't
indicate it, Western got 94 shots.
We were fortunate they made
only 14. Our shooting, 34 of 70
shots, would have been better
if our fast-break game had been
going."
Brightman was expected to
start his two watchcharm guards
5-foot, 8-inch Bobby Malone and
5-foot, 9-inch Cal Bauer with
Bob Godes, 6-9 at center and
Stan Glowaski, 6-3 and transfer
Ken Fuhrer, 6-5 at forwards.
Oregon dropped a' couple to
Santa Clara and the University
of California over the week end.
However, Jim Loscutoff and
Max Anderson, two of Oregon's
big boys were expected to pro
vide plenty of trouble for the
Chieftains off the boards. j
Expect Majors Will
Reject Minors Plea
By CARL LUNDQUIST
New York-4U.R) The major
leagues are expected .to slam the
door in the face of the minor
leagues today, flatly rejecting
the "little fellows' " plea for re
strictions on radio and television.
The minors, holding their an
nual meeting in Houston, Tex.,
last week, passed 11 amend
ments to the major-minor league
agreement among them one
forbidding the majors from au
thorizing either radio broadcasts
or telecasts of big league games
into minor league territories.
The minors claim these air
wave shows are "killing" attend
ance in the minors, and declare
that restrictions must be passed
before the whole minor league
structure is wrecked.
But the majors, meeting in
joint session of the American and
National leagues today, aren't
expected to agree to go along.
Even minor league officials at
tending the conclave don't hold
out much hope of getting the re
strictions passed.
Chances Belter for Others
The minor leaguers do have
more hope that another amend
ment they passed will be accept
ea one that sets specific fees
the majors would have to pay in
setting up working agreements
with teams in the lower minors
These would include a $3,000 to
$o,000 fee for making the agree
ment, plus a $100 minimum fee
for each player the major league
team called up from the minors,
plus some help in paying the man
ager s salary and in paying
spring training expenses.
The American and National
leagues met separately Monday
and the emphasis in both cases
was on expansion. In fact, there
were appearances of a "West
ward Ho" race between the two
circuits to see which one could

ceed ailing Lowell (Red) Daw
son at the helm of the Panther's
football team.
Bowden Wyatt, who directed
Arkansas into a Cotton Bowl
berth this season, immediately
was installed as the leading can
didate for the vacant Tennessee
position, while former Army
backfielder John Sauer was be
ing tabbed as the next coach
at the Citadel.
Wyatt definitely would fill
the bill as Robinson's successor
at Knoxville, where officials re
portedly .are looking for an out
standing "Tennessee man." He
learned his football as an end
under former Volunteer Coach
Gen. Bob Neyland.
However, Wyatt's salary re
cently was increased to $15,000
at Arkansas, where he also was
handed an additional $20,000
from an "appreciation fund"
and a new automobile from ov
erjoyed Razorback fans. Thus
it would seem doubtful he could
be persuaded to leave his cur
rent post.
Sauer visited the Citadel's
president, Gen. Mark W. Clark,
Monday but said he merely was
giving the former Army com
mander "pointers on what we
did" in the athletic organization
at West Point.' Currently an as
sistant coach with the profes
sional Los Angeles Rams, Sauer
played in the same Army back-
field with Glenn Davis and Fe
lix Blanchard in 1943-44-45.
TV Studied by PCC;
Oregon to Host Track
Pasadena, Calif. U.R) The
Pacific Coast conference has
spent several hours studying
possible changes in its television
policy but has reached no defi
nite conclusion as yet, accord
ing to Prof. H. P. Everest, offi
cial spokesman for the PCC.
Possible changes in television
policy along with PCC plans to
abolish spring training in foot-
place a team in Los Angeles or
San Francisco first, preferably
without expanding the circuits
to 10 teams.
The American even went to
the extent of presenting a 162
game schedule for a 10-team race
in which each team would play
tne other nine games at home
and nine away. The National
League moguls said there was
nothing new about that because
they had considered such a
change last month. -
The National League gave
President Warren Giles a new
four-year term of office to begin
at the conclusion of his present
term in 1955 at a substantial
raise in pay. It also retired its
senior umpire, Bill McGowan,
who has worked in the loop 30
years, at a substantial pension.

New York (U.R) Speedy Italo
Scortichini of Italy, who sur
prisingly overwhelmed Cuban
Chico Varona at his own slug
ging game, said today he ex
pected to win the welterweight
crown in 1955 because of "my
new American kick."
The muscular, black -haired
Italian, scaling loiYz pounds to
Varona's 143, not only won a
lopsided decision over Chico in
their TV 10-rounder at St. Nicho
las arena Monday night; but he
nearly stopped him in the ninth.
They had gone into the ring
at "even money."

Marty Marion of the Chicago
White Sox, joyful at obtaining
six new players in two deals on
the same day, said today he
thinks the Sox will be a pen

they have new slugging power.
"Minnie Minoso couldn't do it

First baseman Walt Dropo,
outfielder Bob Nieman, and pit
cher Ted Gray obtained from
the Detroit Tigers in exchange
for first baseman Ferris Fain,
infielder Jack Phillips and pit
cher Leo Cristante.
Catcher Clint Courtney, in
fielder Jim Brideweser, and pit
cher Bob Chakeles obtained
from the Baltimore Orioles in
exchange for pitchers Don John
son and Don Ferrarese, catcher
Matt Batts, and utility infielder
Fred Marsh.
Marion expained that Minoso
was regarded as the only "long
ball" hitting threat on the squad
last season. He said that a team
of "high average" but singles
hitting players did well at home
in big Comiskey park, but lost
some key games in smaller
parks for want of a coupfe of
home run belters.
ball were indicated as the major
items on the agenda of the con
ference s winter meeting here
Prof. Everest said all of yes
terday was spent considering

The only action taken by ath

resentatives was to combine the
radio and television committees
int.o one committee made up of
four athletic directors and one
faculty representative, their
names to be announced later. -Track

The conference voted to hold
its annual track meet at Port
land, Ore., with the University

as night games. : -
The conf ereice ' considered a
series of petitions by athletes to
be granted additional eligibility.
Denied More Time
Among these, Charles Butt,
California shotput champion,

Small Fish Will
Go To College
. Portland Approximately 1,
000 spring chinook salmon fin
gerlings from an Oregon fish
commission hatchery on the Wil
lamette river system will "go to
college" this winter.
Contrary to the claims of ang
lers, fish really haven't become
that intelligent yet. These fish
will be used in pollution experi
ments at Oregon state college ac
cording to State Fisheries Direc
tor M. T. Hoy.
In a letter last week to Irvine
French, director of fish culture
for the commission, R. E. Dim
ick, head of the fish and game
management department at OSC,
explained the tests. Dimick said
the experiments will be conduct
ed to try and determine whether
chinook salmon fingerlings are
attracted to or avoid, pulp and
paper mill wastes. The fish will
be tested in groups of 200 each
over the next two months.

Credit Missouri's defensive-

jor upset of the college basket
ball season a 64-61 triumph
over Indiana on the Hoosiers'
home court.
Indiana, currently ' ranked
fifth in the nation by the United
Press Board of Coaches and an
easy winner of its only previous
game, seemed on the way to the
expected "victory as it took a
35-32 half time lead and increas
ed it to 53-47 midway in the
second half.
But right there the Hoosiers
ran smack into a roadblock
thrown up by Tiger Coach
Sparky Stalcup. The Hoosiers
were kept outside, and their
outside shots missed. Indiana
had only five second half bas
kets. Missouri went on a scor
ing spree to take the lead and
never lost it. Hoosier All-Amer-
ican center Don Schlundt took
scoring honors with 25 points.
Three other highly ranked
teams second-ranked Iowa,
third-ranked Duquesne, and
13th-ranked Utah came
through with expected triumphs.
