New York U.PJ Commis
sioner Bert Bell said today that
the National Football League
clubs "will more than match Ca
nadian offers so that the cream
of the colleges' 1954 talent will
be playing in the United States
next season."
"We don't for a minute chal
lenge the Canadian League's
right to dicker with U. S. play
ers," Bell said. "But it's my
opinion that our National
League teams will out-bid the
Canadian League in those in
stances when we really want a
player."
Bell's prediction followed
comments by some of the leading
players drafted that they were
"flattered" but are entertaining
offers from the Canadian League
which must "at least be
matched." George Shaw and
Alan Ameche, both drafted by
the Baltimore Colts, and Dickie
Moegle, drafted by the San Fran
cisco Forty-Niners, were among
those hinted at "fabulous Cana
dian offers.' ..

Toth will give us a great 1-2 com
bination," Baltimore Coach W.
C. Ewbank said. "Our first
choice was between Ameche and
Dick Bielski of Maryland. We
chose Ameche because our scouts
say he is superior to Bielski in
several types of play."
Ameche, winner of the Heis
man Trophy after a spectacular
career at Wisconsin, was Balti
more's first regular choice. Ear
lier, the Colts selected Shaw of
Oregon as their "bonus pick"
and thereby came off with two
of the top offensive stars, in col
lege ranks last season. -
"Ameche will be a great pro
star," commented George Halas
of the Chicago Bears.
Coach Jim Trimble of the
Philadelphia Eagles, however,
indicated he felt Bielski might
prove superior in the long run.
Bielski was the Eagles' No. 1
choice. ' '

Marquette sank 21 of 28 free
throws; Loyola sank 12 of 27.
; Loyola, rallying from a 36-32
half-time deficit by applying a
full-court press, could easily
have saved the game in the clos

Rhodes Gets
Boost
By UNITED PRESS
Dusty Rhodes, that amazin'
man who": made Leo Durocher
eat his words and the Cleveland
Indians bits the dust, is all set
for some more shennanigahs. .
The New York Giants pinch
hitter de luxe and sometime out
fielder, tha surprising star of
last ; year's World Series when
his pinch hits led to three of the
Giants', A four iy straight wins,
signed his .1955 contract Thurs
day for a $4,000 raise that boosts
him to about $12,000. .
No Doubt
This time there's no doubt
that Rhodes will be a prominent
member of the team, but only
a year ago manager Durocher
was trying to figure out ways to
trade him. . -
.The first: time Durocher saw
the nonchalant Alabaman a cou
ple of years ago, the outspoken
manager , used the , strongest
language he could think of and
declared: "If that guy is a ballplayer,-
I'm Happy Chandler." .
: Folks - will probably be call
ing Leo "Happy" from now on
after Rhodes' 1954 heroics. He
pinch-batted 46 times in the reg
ular - season zand collected 15
hits, including two homers, ' for
a . .326 average. -' Including his
work as a sub outfielder, he had
a .341 batting mark with 15
homers and 50 runs-batted-in.
In the World Series,' he set 10
records and tied - two more. r.

Fernandez Loggers Scrap
Cabbies Here
Interest in independent bas
ketball has picked up here this
season with the appearance of
some good outside talent against
Medford opposition. And fans

in another aggregation with a
reputation of strength, the Fer
nandez Loggers of Longview,
Wash. -:.;;
A 3 pjn. game time has been
set for the engagement at the
St. Mary's gymnasium.
The opening whistle will send
together clubs high-ranking in
their. .. respective .areas. Exact
comparison of Fernandez with
quints in its bailiwick isnt
available but the 21-win, 3-loss
mark shows that , the Loggers
have been doing well this sea
son. Tne aexenaing souinwcsi
Washington AAU champs should
rate currently as near , best, if
not best, in their area.
Yellow Cab has demonstrated
its strength against dubs as far
north as Myrtle Creek, as far
east as Klamath' Falls and as
far south as Yreka, CalK., and
is the top club in the Medford
Independent league.
