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.

noon Saturday : 10 a jn. Monday for

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.

O'Connor Said
Offered Job
Los Angeles (U.R) Leslie
O'Connor, Pacific Coast League
attorney for the past five years,
.was reported today to have been
offered the league's presidency
vacated by Clarence Pants Row
land.
However, O'Connor, aide to
the late Judge Landis through
out his term as baseball commis
sioner, was reported as reluctant
to accept the offer because his
home and practice are in Chi
cago. If O'Connor declines to accept
the post, the job may be offered
to Leo Miller, a former general
manager at Syracuse, Buffalo
and Seattle.
The PCL office here is being
closed, the directors having
voted to shift headquarters to
San Francisco. Until a new pres
ident is chosen, San Diego's Bill
Starr will head the PCL in his
capacity as first vice-president.
Curfman Responsible
For Idaho Reprimand,
Athletic Director Says
Moscow, Ida. (U.R) Uni
versity of Idaho Director Bob
(Babe) Curfman as the coach
who violated athletic recruiting
policies of the school and caus
ed Idaho to be publicly . repri
manded by the Pacific Coast
conference.
.Gibb said the incident involv
ed a high school student who
was invited personally by Curf
man to his home in violation of
conference codes. The student
was Don Gest of Spokane, now
a football player at Washington
State college.
Gibb said he regarded the
matter as "closed" and saw no
possibility of having to pay a
fine. "The board brought back
at the recent meeting the system
of levying fines, but made no
provision for retroactive cases
such as this one," he said.

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.
The deepest diamond mine la
the world is the Kimberly mine
in South Africa which extends
about 3600 feet below the earth's
surface.
