PCL Directors Want O'Connor As Prexy San Francisco ttJ.R) At least four directors of the Pac ific Coast league were hopeful today they could persuade Chi cago attorney Leslie O'Connor in the past that in case of an emergency he would come to our assistance." The final decision on the se lection of a president is likely . ' tn Ho maHp at fnlnmKiic Ohirv to take over as the president of j ' ' the Pacific Coast league. O'Connor, if he could be per luaded, would succeed Clair V. Goodwin, who has submitted an "open end," resignation as president of the eight-team loop. Goodwin submitted his resig nation, which he said is "good today, tomorrow or anytime" to Fred Davis, president of the Sacramento Solons and a PCL director. David said the resigna tion was the result' of a talk to Goodwin. "I was appointed a committee of one to talk to Goodwin to see how he felt about our fail ure to re-elect him at our an nual meeting in Vancouver, B.C David said. "This is the upshot of it." David said the directors gen erally provide for the president at the annual meeting. Goodwin's term was due to expire Dec. 31 Between The Lines "There was no action taken," David said. "He read between the lines and decided he would not like to stay in there unless he had the unanimous approval of all the directors." What apparently provoked the wrath of the PCL directors was Goodwin's failure to come up with the right answer on the disposal of the San Francisco Seals franchise. The franchise is now in the hands of the UCL directors, with a debt of about $200,000 on it. The pro-O'Connor directors aid he "has the proper major league connections and knows baseball from the bottom up." O'Connor was formerly sec- retary to the late Kenesaw Mountain Landis, high commis sioner of baseballx "But O'Connor has been of fered the job before and has turned it down," an informant iaid. "However, he has told us leagues open their annual ses sion on Nov. 28 and the PCL will want to attend that session with its house in order.

Both victories would carry league championships as well, and the oddsmakers also foresee titles being clinched this week by Princeton in the Ivy League and Oklahoma in the Big Seven. And they say Texas Christian and Pittsburgh will improve their chances of bowl bids by scoring victories. Michigan was named only a six-point favorite over Ohio State in their battle for the Big Ten crown at Ann Arbor, Mich An Ohio State upset would give the Buckeyes the league title- but would put Michigan State in the Rose Bowl since Ohio State is ineligible. UCLA is favored bv a more solid 10 points over Southern California in their nationally- televised game at Los Angeles The Uclans might get the Pacific Coast Conference title and bowl bid even if they lose, because the odds-men figure second-place Oregon State as a six-point un derdog aaginst traditional rival Oregon. Orange Bowl Berth Oklahoma, already assured of a berth in the Orange Bowl and now ranked the nation's No. 1 team, is a 24-point favorite over Nebraska in the game that will give the winner the Big Seven championship. Princeton, which seized the Ivy League lead last week by beating Yale, is a 12-point favor ite to capture the conference crown by beating Dartmouth this week. Should the Tigers stumble, second-place Yale is a 12-point favorite in its 72nd an nual game against Harvard. Texas Christian is. a 14-point favorite over Rice, which would move the Horned Frogs within one victory of clinching the host spot in the Cotton Bowl. And Pittsburgh is a six-point favorite over Penn State. Re ports from New Orleans are that Pitt now is a good bet to get an invitation to the Sugar Bowl, if it can win this final game.

Say ewmravs and be StttC . . . of American tvhiskey Man Under Study Porland OI.PJ Federal Judge William East today had under advisement the government's in- j come tax evasion case against Albert Bick, a Coos Bay plumber. Just East will have to decide whether Bick altered his books to evade income taxes, or wheth er he made certain changes merely to correct bookkeeping errors. A week-long trial in Federal Court here ended yesterday with testimony by Rev. Oscar Payne of Coos Bay and Max Chambers, a plumbing competitor of Bick. Both testified that Bick's reputa tion for truth and integrity is high. Indictment, Claims Evasion James Morrell, chief deputy U. S. attorney, charged that Bick erased figures in his books at the end of the year for 1948, 1949 and 1950 to show income of about $9000 less each year than it actually was. The indictment claims Bick evaded about $5000 in taxes for the three years in question. Stanley McDonald, Multno mah county criminologist, testi fied that each erased figure was higher than the one written over it. However, Defense Attorney James Dezendorf told the court Bick made no attempt to cover up his erasures. He said Bick cooperated with Internal Reve nue Service agents and hired an accountant to straighten out the books of his Bick Plumbing and Heating Company. As a result, Dezendorf said, Bick found he had understated his income from 1947 to 1952 and has paid the delinquent taxes with interest. Dezendorf said Bick had al tered his books to hedge against anticipated business losses and four other legitimate reasons. 3 ' m m I IJX.il SSI S i Victor Wolf Hearing Scheduled Dec. 5 Portland U.R) A hearing, will be held here Dec. 5 to de termine the degree of guilt of Victor Laurence Wolf, 45, con fessed car-bomb slaye' of Port land attorney Kermit Smith.
