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.

Michigan and UCLA will
clinch Rose Bowl berths by win
ning their final conference games
this Saturday, the football odds
men predicted today.
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.

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.
