NCAA Council Meets To Study
Violations; Sooners on Hand
Chicago U.R) The council of
the National Collegiate Athletic
Association met today to act on
alleged rules infractions with
Oklahoma an on-the-scene spec
tator. . The NCAA's infractions com
mittee submitted a portion of
its report Monday and was to
complete it today, after which
the council was to act.
Meanwhile, football Coach
Bud Wilkinson and faculty rep
resentative Earl Sneed of Okla
homa waited in the hotel where
the meeting was being held for
an opportunity to appear before
the council if the infractions com
mittee filed a case, against the
Sooners.
There was no indication from
the NCAA whether any case
would be reported against
Oklahoma. Wilkinson himself
also said he had "no idea"
whether one would be made.
Seren Recommendations
The council Monday adopted
seven recommendations for fu
ture guidance of member schools
in contracts with coaches.
If observed, the recommenda
tions would have the effect of a
"no tampering rule."
The recommendations were
presented for council approval
by a committee appointed by the
1954 convention. Its chairman
Dave Smith

Drive Starts
In Roseburg
For Baseball
Prospects for a Roseburg en
try in the Southern Oregon Base
ball league brightened last week
end when a drive opened in that
community to solicit support for
a team.
League President Donald E.
Faber, Central Point, gave a
boost to the efforts yesterday by
stating that he will be glad to
call a league meeting to consider
a Roseburg application if' that
city requests it.
Hal Zurcher and Bun Kelsey
are spearheading the drive. Suc
cess in revival of a first class
semi-pro club in Roseburg ap
pears to hinge on sale of about
500 season tickets in the next
week and on starting operations
with a minimum $5,000 expense
account.
Three Weeks
Previous deadlines in connec
tion with entry in the SOL have
been announced and then post
poned in Roseburg this spring.
Zurcher, Kelsey and Bus Sporer
have been leaders in the revival
move. The latest announced
plan is the most concrete so far.
There was considerable effort
earlier this year by the SOL to
interest Roseburg entry.
If the ticket sale goes as Zur
cher and Kelsey hope, the club
will have three weeks to organ
ize for league play. The SOL
opens May 28. However, other
members of the circuit may have
some trouble adjusting their
slates. While schedule of the
present seven-team loop lists one
club with a bye each week, some
of the clubs, at least, have filled
in the dates with non - league
action.
Medf ord Cheney Studs, for in
stance, have slated the Seattle
Studs on one of their byes and
indepedent Coos Bay-North Bend
on the other week end.
Faber pointed out that the
other clubs could schedule mid
week encounters with the Rose
burg teams if their non-loop
slates leave room. .
Could Divide League
Still, there is another possi
bility to consider should Rose
burg be admitted. The loop may
decide on revised schedule with
the SOL operating in two divi
sions. That could also mean a
later start than the present May
28 date.
According to the Roseburg
News -Review, Zurcher admits
that the "two-man corporation"
is starting from scratch. Yet, he
concedes nothing in the face of
past semi-pro ventures in Med
ford. His argument is that he
and Kelsey see a need for base
ball in Roseburg and that Rose
burg is suitably located for play
in the Southern Oregon circuit.
He expects to secure use of Fin
lay field.
According to Faber, however,
admission of Roseburg to the
SOL is strictly up to team repre
sentatives of Medf ord, Grants
Pass, Coquille, Drain, Bandon
and Bend.
the OPENING
Tuesday, A?r!l 28, 1955
should be signed to contracts
similar to those offered faculty
members including academic
rank, tenure, retirement benefits
and any "special concessions."
One recommendation said a
school seeking a coach already
under contract is "morally and
ethically obligated to contact the
institution which currently holds
the coach's contract and permis
sion received to carry on nego
tiations." Other Recommendations
Other recommendations speci
fied that no coach should be
hired without his release from
any contract at another school,
that no coach should negotiate
with another school during his
contract without informing his
employer, and that all salary
paid to coaches should come
from sources under administra
tive control.
. The council refused to adopt
a request from the U.S. Lawn
Tennis Association to declare as
amateurs players who give les
sons for hourly pay. However,
the council said its rule did not
prohibit work in a tennis shop.
In another ruling, the council
said coaches at member schools
could not participate in summer
basketball schools for boys and
high school students.
Carter Sets
Title Bout
New York (U.R) Light
weight champion Jimmy Carter,
beaten in a non-title fight last
week by Orlando Zulueta, will
nut his world title on the line
June 1 but against Wallace
(Bud) Smith, not Zulueta.
The bout, annonced today by
the International Boxing Club,
will be held at the Boston Gar
den with the IBC and Sam Silver
man of Boston as co-promoters.
Three-Time Winner
Carter has won the lightweight
crown three times, so, while this
will be his 11th appearance in a
title fight, it will only be his
eight as the defending champion.
It will be his first title defense
since he regained the title by
beating Paddy De Marco, Nov.
17, 1954.
Smith, of Cincinnati. Ohio,
lost three of six bouts last year
and fought a draw in his only
bout this year against Johnny
Gonsalves. The Ohioan, however,
is ranked fifth in the light-weight
class. Zulueta, of Havana, Cuba,
was rated ninth in the division
before his over-the-weight win
over Carter but presumably will
move up much higher at the end
of this month when the revised
ratings will be issued by Ring
magazine.
Castellani Nabs
Unanimous Win
From Varona
New York U.R) Rocky Cas
tellani pounded out a unanimous
10-round decision over Chico Va
rona of Cuba here last night in
a widely-televised bout at St.
Nicholas arena.
The winner was an over
whelming 5-1 favorite and won
easily. ' ;
Varona, who weigher -15634
pounds to Castellani's 159V4,
tired badly in the last rounds.
He was half -pushed, half-slipped
to the canvas near the end of the
eighth session and appeared on
the verge of a knockdown in the
ninth but courageously wea
thered the storm.
Referee Al Berl and judges
Charlie Shorten and Harold
Barnes turned in identical score
cards, awarding Castellani eight
rounds and Varona two.. Rocky,
& native of Luzerne, Pa., who
now makes his home in Cleve
land, may be brought back to
New York for another St. Nicks
bout May 23.
In a widely-televised feather
weight bout Monday night at
Brooklyn's Eastern Parkway

Flatbush, registered a unani
mous 10-round decision over
Rudy Garcia of Los Angeles.

United Press Sports Writer
Mike Higgins has the Boston
Red Sox four positions better off
than they were a year ago today
but most of the other new man
agers are finding they've got the
same old teams.
It adds up to a bitter blow for
the "baseball second-guessers
union" which contends that last
year's pilot was responsible for
everything that went wrong.
And it just could be causing
some red faces among general
managers who made the manager
the "goat ' of a poor 1954 cam
paign.
Marty Marion of the Chicago
White Sox and Mayo Smith of
the Philadelphia Phillies are the
only other new pilots who have
their teams doing about as well
as they did in the first two weeks
of last season. Marion has the
White Sox leading the American
League just as they did a year
ago under Paul Richards and
ABC's Defending
Titlists Fail
In Repeat Try
Fort Wayne, Ind. (U.R) The
American Bowling Congress
will have a new brace of doubles
champions this year.
Don McClaren and Billy
Welu, the 1954 ABC doubles
kings, made that a certainty yzs-
terday as they blew their chance
to repeat.
Ties for Eighth
McClaren and Welu hit only
120? pins, although Welu gained
some consolation by tieing for
eighth place : in the all-events
with 1913.
He" did it by adding his dou
bles' 646 to a 627 in singles and
a 640 in team play. .
But McClaren and Welu com
bined couldn't even turn in the
day's best doubles score. That
honor went to the 1221 scored
by Sam Madeline and 'clairc
Potter of Hubbard. Ohio.
Meanwhile, a group of young
stersCecil Ward Junior All-
Stars No. 1 of Detroit became
last night's top open bowling
squad.
Wind Up With 1044
The youngsters, ranging in aga
from 14 to 22, started with a
mild 836 game. That ruined
their chance for an ABC
triumph, although they grew
pre gressively better, hitting 993
in the middle game and winding
up with a corking 1044.
Eill Walker led the attack
with a 621 series.
Ted Morris of Des Moines,
Iowa, and John Trunzo of Scran
ton, Pa., tied for the day's high
singles count with 641.
SPORTS DAY
Seattle (U.R) More than 125
high school girls' from 25 west
ern Washington schools were
expected to attend the ninth an
nual Sports Day at the Univer
sity of Washington here May 7.

Start
Smith's Phillies are in fifth place
in the National League!- just as
they were on this date last year
under Steve O'Neill.
But those who expected mir
acles from Charley Dressen of
the Washington Senators, Bucky
Harris of the Detroit Tigers, Lou
Boudreau of the Kansas City Ath
letics and Richards' Baltimore
Orioles have been rudely sur
prised. They'd, all gladly settle
for the starts their teams had last
year. , ,
Manager Standings
Here's how the new pilots have
fared:
Higgins: With 'a 7-4 record the
Red Sox are tied for second
place. A year ago they had a 4-6
record and were tied for seventh
place. '
Marion: The White Sox cur
rent 6-3 record and first-place
standing is equal or even slight
ly better than their 7-4 mark
which was good enough for first
place in 1954.
Smith: The Phillies have a 6-6
current record compared to 5-6
last season but they're in the
same spot in the standings fifth.
Dressen: The Senators were
tied for second place with a 6-4
record a year ago. Today, they're
tied for fourth with a 5-5 mark.
Harris: Same as Dressen
Tigers were second with 6-4 rec
ord last season, now share fourth
place with Senators and 5-5
mark. -
Boudreau: The Athletics actu
ally were tied for fourth place
with a 5-5 record on April 26,
1954. They've dropped seven of
10 games this year and are lan
guishing in seventh place.
Richards: A 4-7 record had the
Orioles in last place a year ago.
Today a 3-9 record has 'emven
deeper in the cellar.
East Goes West
East goes west in the Ameri
can League and vice versa in the
National League today and to
night in the first intersectional
meetings of the new campaign.
The early going found all three
major contenders in the A. L. off
fairly well with the Cleveland
Indians, New York Yankees and
White Sox over .500. In the Na
tional League, the Brooklyn
Dodgers and Milwaukee Braves
are off and running but the
world champion New York Gi
ants are two games under .500.
The. Yankees, who seem to
have great strength but haven't
yet really jelled, open a two
game series with the first-place
White Sox in Chicago while Bal
timore is at Detroit, Washington
at Cleveland and Boston at
Kansas City in other A. L. con
tests. The White Sox hope to
prove they're top calibre pen
nant contenders in the New York
series. The Yankees were 15-7
against them in 1954.
In the N.L., with all games at
night, the Braves open a two
game set with a Giant team still
shaky after its brush with dis
aster in Brooklyn over the week
end. The Braves have managed
to stay close to the Dodgers with
a 7-3 mark while Brooklyn has
run up an 11-2 card. Other games
find Cincinnati at Brooklyn, St.
Louis at Philadelphia and Chi
cago at Pittsburgh.

New Northwest Circuit Opens Play Today;
Salem, Eugene To Contend in First Tilt
By UNITED PRESS
The seven-team class B North
west Baseball League opens for
play, tonight with Eugene play
ing at Salem, Wenatchee at
Yakima and Spokane at Lewis
ton. The seventh member, TjTi
City, opens the 131-game pen
nant chase at home Friday
against Lewiston.
All of the present league
members with the exception of
Eugene were members of the
class A Western International
League which went broke last
year because of high budgets
and long, expensive road trips.
"his year the league is more
compact, the seven teams are
operating on . a tighter budget
and the financial structure
seems more solid. The teams are
allowed to carry five veterans
and eleven rookies and limited
service players.
What the teams will do- is any
body's guess. Lineups will fea
ture some veterans who knocked
around the old WIL for several
years plus many new faces.
At Spokane veteran big league
infie'der Eddie Lake is at the
helm. The Indians folded late
last year because of poor at
tendance. Spokane fans went to
work, sold stock and rebuilt
Ferries Field. Lake was hired to
build a ball club which at this
moment features veteran catcher
Bill Shee.s and John Conant, a
top hurler in the WIL the past
several years.
Hugh Luby begins his fifth
season as skipper at Salem and.
as usual, promises a club that
will be right up there with the
rest of the pack. Shortstop Gene
Tanselli, long a WIL standout,
will play and also double as
coach. Luby plans to play second
base at least until someone bet
ter comes along. Luby has the
"help wanted" sign out and both
Sacramento and San Diego of
the Coast League are expected to

San Francisco (U.R) Milt
Smith, hard-hitting third ' base
man of the San Diego Padres,
has taken over the Pacific Coast
League batting leadership with
a .403 mark for the first 19 days
of the season, according to sta
tistics released today and in
eluding Sunday's games.
Smith has banged out 29 hits
in 72 trips to the plate, driving
in 12 runs. He also has hit two
homers.
The pitching leadership is
shared by Johnny Briggs "of
Sacramento and Johnny Oldham
of Seattle," with three wins, no
losses.
Joe Brovia, Oakland, and
Steve Bilko, Los Angeles, lead
in home runs with six each; and
Dave Melton, San Francisco;
