League Okays Ha pes Again Philadelphia U.R) Merle Hapes, former New York Giants star involved in a pro football "fix" scandal seven years ago, was back in the good graces of the National Football league to day. ... . ? Hapes,. prominent in Canadians football in recent years, was re instated by Commissioner Bert Bell of the National Football league Monday because of his conduct since his suspension in 1946. "He conducted himself in the highest standards of sportsman ship and made a real contribu tion to the promotion and de velopment of clean sports in Canada," Bell said. Hapes now is free to negotiate for any foot ball job. The former Mississippi star was suspended along with Frank Filchock of the Giants in con nection with an attempt by gam blers to "fix" the 1946 title game between the Giants and the Chicago Bears.

Olson Rated 4-1 Favorite San Francisco (U.R) Carl (Bobo) Olson, the tireless mid dleweight champion, has been installed as a 4-1 favorite to whip challenger Pierre Langlois of France in their 15- round bout at the Cow Palace Wed nesday night but the French man has other ideas. He predicted today that he would win the crown and take the title back to France with him. "Olson fights my favorite style," said Langlois. "He keeps coming to me and I know I can lick him and take the title back to. France as a present for my wife." While both the champion and the challenger rested today, fight talk in this town grew by leaps and Taounds. As a result, promo ter Bennie Ford predicted that the gate would gross more than $100,000. It will be televised na tionally, but will be blacked out within a radius of 150 miles. Play Harlem Clowns at Ashland On Wednesday Ashland The Harlem Clowns, "mirthful magicians of the maple court," will appear at the Ashland high school gymnasium on Wednesday night, December 15. They will play the Ashland National Guard all-stars and there will be no reserved seats and no advance sale of tickets, according to the sponsoring Ash land Junior Chamber of Com merce. , "Basketball fans who attend games played by the Harlem Clowns come for entertainment and laughs and that is what we try to give them," Al ("Runt") Pullins, fabulous little manager of the colored cutups, has al ways pointed out. . "We strictly for laughs," said the Runt.' Pullins is expected to send his crew of hoop magicians out right from the start to get the crowd in a jovial mood a fast warmup routine, followed by a of tricky stuff and sleight- of-handling always starts the evening off right. Fun From Start Just as soon as a game starts, the Clowns open up with their funny business they don't con centrate on piling up a big score against weaker r opposition, but go into comedy routine stuff and trick passes and ball handling right at the beginning of the ex hibition. Sometimes, of course, the Clowns bump against a real tough opponent, and have to settle down to the finer points of basketball scoring but even when the going is tough against the best kind of opposition, they find time to throw in a few laughs. Ardie Warren, Bob Weaver, Harley Weaver, Bob Bode, Bob Levison, Cliff McLean, Darrell Copeland and Bob Smith are expected to play for the Guard team. A preliminary is planned for 6:15 p.m. The teams participat ing were not known for certain early today. . Emporia Grabs Small Colleges Offense Crown New York (U.R) College of Emporia (Kan.), unbeaten for the second year in a row, prac tically monopolized the 1954 small-college offense statistics tables, final NCAA service bur eau figures showed today. Meanwhile Tennessee State, also undefeated, narrowly miss ed a similar sweep of defense honors and wound up sharing them with Geneva College, Pa Emporia led all the nation's football-playing colleges, major as well as small, with 469.7 yards a game, 404.7 yards a game by rushing, and 43.2 points scored a game. Its rushing figure is the highest ever recorded, wiping out the record of 400.4 set by Hanover in 1948. 10th Game Decides The more important defense titles to Geneva in total de fense and to Tennessee State in rushing defense were both decided in Tennessee State's tenth and final game, after Ge neva had already completed a nine-game campaign with six won, two lost and a tie. The final figures were, in to tal defense, 106.3 yards a game given up by Geneva and 118.8 by Tennessee State. Going into that last game, Tennessee's av erage was 105.6. But on the ground, Tennessee allowed only 29.2 yards a game and less than a yard per play, 0.91. The passing offense champ ion was Iowa Techers, gaining 206.1 yards a game. In pass de fense the leader was St. August ine's NC with only 26.5 yards a game permitted. Rich Boutboh afYs bast because its FULLY AGED l - v.

Tuesday, December 14, 1954 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN Cleveland Staff Compiles 2.78 ERA Statistic Chicago (U.R) The Cleve land Indian's pitching staff was credited officially today with being the most effective in Am erican league history. Official figures revealed that Manager Al Lopez's staff had compiled a 2.78 earned run av erage a figure more glitter ing even than those compiled in the dead ball era. Earned run averages became part of base ball's official statistics in 1913 when Walter Johnson led with a 1.14 mark. No Cleveland pitcher ap proached that figure this year but that only made the 10-man staff effort more impressive. No fewer than six Cleveland pitch ers .had earned run averages be low three a game and only Bob Hooper, who pitched in just 35 innings, was over 3.50. Mike Garcia, the youngest and strongest of Cleveland's "big three," made off with the indi vidual title among pitchers who worked in at least 154 innings by compiling a 2.64 ERA. Gar cia, who had a 19-8 won and lost record, yielded only 76 earn ed runs in 259 innings. Cal and Purdue Lead Colleges In Pass Game New York (U.R) Purdue and California, teams noted mainly for their running game down through the years, were the two top major-college teams of 1954 in forward passing, final NCAA Service bureau statistics showed today. Purdue, only the second Big Ten team in history to lead the nation in air attack, gained 177.3 yards a game to Calif ornia's 172.4. It was the second closest race on record and Pur due's figure was the lowest to win a passing championship since 1947, when Michigan's 173.9 gave the Big Ten its only other title. The only time the winning margin was smaller was in 1943 when Brown post ed 133.1 to Tulsa's 133 and Tex as A&M's 131.8. California set an all-time rec ord for accuracy, completing 61 per cent of its aerials, 139 out of 288. The only other instance of a team completing three out of every five is the 60.7 per cent mark posted by Alabama in 1945 with 71 out-of 117. , Greenland is called the largest island in the world.
