New York (U.R) San Fran
cisco maintained its overwhelm
ing lead as the nation's No.,1 col
lege basketball team today, but
unheralded Temple's weekend
upset dropped the powerful
Kentucky Wildcats to the lowest
spot they have ever held in the
United Press ratings..
While San Francisco received
first-place ballots from 32 of the
35 leading coaches who make up
the United Press rating board,
Kentucky dropped to sixth place,
giying Utah an opportunity to
move into the runnerup spot.
Never since the United Press
ratings were begun in 1950 have
Coach Adolph Rupp's Wildcats
been slotted so low in any week
lyCrankings. In winning the na
tional) championship in 1950-51

and 1951-52 and finishing run
nerup in 1953-54 and last season,
Kentucky never was picked
lower than third during the
course of a campaign. Kentucky
did not compete in basketball
during the 1952-53 season.
Temple Spoils Record
However, Temple's 73-61 vic
tory on the Wildcats' home court
at Lexington, Ky., marred this
record. The triumph also ad
vanced the Owls, who have a 3-0
record, to the No. 17 ranking.
Behind runnerup Utah in this
week's ratings came North Car
olina State, Iowa and Dayton.
Alabama, the lone, newcomer in
the top ten, ranked No. 7 be
hind Kentucky, with Duquesne,
Brigham Young and Holy Cross
completing the select group in
that order.
Utah, Iowa and St. Louis,
which tied for 14th place, each
received one first-place ballot.
Of the three coaches who did
not vote for San Francisco, two
picked the West Coast Dons sec
ond and one voted them fifth.
Coach Phil Woolpert's team thus
received 344 of a possible total
of 350 points.,
Alabama, a new national
power which may challenge
Kentucky for Southeastern Con
ference honors this season,
jumped all the way from 18th to
sevenlh place after winning the
weekend Birmingham Classic.
Illinois, upset by Missouri, fell
from the No. 7 to the No. 11
spot.
Utah Moves Up
Utah advanced two notches to
second place; Dayton moved up
one place to No. 5, while Brig
ham Young and Holy Cross ex
changed the rankings they had
last week.
On a 10-9-3-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 point
basis for votes from first to 10th
places, Utah attracted a total of
245 points 99 less than San
Francisco.
North Carolina State had 238
points, Iowa 215, Dayton 114
and Kentucky 95. There was a
close three-team race for seventh
place, Alabama receiving 86
points to 83 for Duquesne and 82
for Brigham Young. Holy Cross
had 60.
San Francisco may run into
trouble this week at the DePaul
tournament at Chicago. The
Dons play 13th-ranked Mar
quette in the opener, Friday
night, and if successful, meet the
winner of the Duquesne-DePaul
game.
Behind Illinois in the second
10 group came Kansas and Mar
quette. St. Louis was tied with
Indiana for 14th place, followed
in order by George Washington,
Temple, Cincinnati, Louisville
and UCLA.

Bobo Olson
To Testify
In Court
San Francisco (U.R) For
mer middleweight champion
Carl (Fobo) Olson was expected
to testify in Federal Court to
day in regard to a S500,000 dam
age su-'it brought the fighter and
his manager by a Honolulu
dairynnan.
The dairyman, Herbert Vin
cent Campos, is seeking dam
ages (i grounds Olson ran out
on twb contracts to fight under
his management, and that man
ager !5id Flaherty induced Olson
to breach the contracts.
Cainpos, asked 5250,000 each
from ; Flaherty and the Hawaii-an-bcorn
boxer.
Campos claimed yesterday
that -he cabled Flaherty a re
quest, to line up mainland fights
for (plson, but Flaherty turned
him down with the comment:
"I don't say Carl couldn't be
dev4loped into a card attraction
here., but it would take time."
To Mainland
In 1951, Campos said, Olson
told; an executive meeting of the
Territorial Boxing commission
in Honolulu that he wanted to
go "to the mainland because he
covfld not get fights in Hono
lulu. TI told him (Olson) he could
go to the mainland provided I
copld get my contract rights and
I ivould get him a manager,"
Cafmpos said.
Olson departed for the main
land in 1951 to work under
Flkherty, Campos said. The
dffiryman testified that during
slack periods he advanced Olson
as much as $8,300 to meet vari
ous bills.
Attorneys for both sides agreed
that the suit would revolve
airound the question of whether
the Hawaii Boxing commission
htad the right to release Olson
firiom his contract with Campos.
Olson's attorney, Howard C.
"Ellis, brought out the fact that
'me Olson-Campos contract of
July 20, 1949, had never been
filed with or approved by the
Territorial Boxing commission.
He also got an admission from
Campos that the dairyman had
.not taken proper steps, such
as filing for a license to enable
.Olson to fight in any state other
than Pennsylvania.
Saddler Beats
Gallardo In 7
San Francisco U.R) A joc
ular Sandy Saddler, sportiiftg a
gory sixth-round technical kijock-
out over Dave Gallardo irnder
his belt, said today he wi'fl de
fend his featherweight title
against anybody "if the prnce is
right." '
Saddler said this also went
for Fred Galliana of Spain.;' who
won the Eureopean feather
weight championship two mights
ago.
"Galliana? Oh, yes, I've 'heard
of him, and I'll go all the way to
Spain to fight him if thejy can
make the right deal," Saddler
declared.
In the meantime, Saddler pre
sumably was scheduled to meet
Manila's Flash Elorde in a cham
pionship bout here next Snonth,
but nothing official has, been
announced yet.
Saddler, at 131V tp Gal
lardo's 132, chopped down the
former Los Angeles busboy in a
bloody, non-title fight last night
which had been scheduled for 10
rounds. Referee Jack Downey
called the bout off when. Gallar
do obviously was too beaten to
come out for round seven.
BOWLING
CLASSIC BOWLING
Ray Speer came through with
620 Series in games of 225, 213
and 182 to lead Valley Music to
high series for the evening of
2765 in the Classic league, and
3 point win over Hammers
Sporting store. Hammers had
high game of 992. Norm Hillyer
of Medford Furniture had a 220
game. Doc Pruess of Hammers
had a 223 game. Jerry Bur
roughs of Mogan Lumber had a
triple score of 179.
Von Poppenheim,
Savage to Tussle
Fans have been demanding to
see a match between the Proud
Prussian, Kurt von Poppenheim,
and Wild Bull Savage and that
tAjjf -.
VON POPPENHEIM
In GP Bout
is the main event on the grap
pling card to be presented at
the Josephine County Fair
grounds arena this Wednesday
night.
Kurt von Poppenheim was dis
qualified in his rugged match
with John Paul Henning last
week and he demanded a "no
disqualification" clause before
signing for the match against
Savage. Wild Bull Savage was
happy to sign for the match.
Since Ivan Kameroff took off
for Canada, Savage has been
the one man riot squad of the
Northwest. He is an ex-Navy
champion who has lots of ability
to throw in with his naturally
rough style of wrestling. Savage
has been pressing Poppenheim
for a match on Portland TV and
so far he has been unable to get
a match.
The one hour semi will match
the flashy Mexican star, Alec
Perez, against the popular
Swede, Thor Hagen. Perez has
defeated Buck Weaver and La
Chapelle on the last two cards
and seems to be a real comer.
Hagen knows his wrestling and
proved it when he held the great
Luther Lindsey to a draw here
a few weeks ago.

Move To Change
Transfer Rule
Tabled By OCC
Portand (U.R) A motion to
change the present transfer rule
in the Oregon Intercollegiate
athletic conference was tabled
yesterday until the spring meet
ing. Presently athletes are eligibe
immediately at OCC schools if
they have passed 12 hours in the
last term or semester at their
former schools. A motion was
made to require transfers to stay
out of competition for 18 weeks
but no action was taken.
There was discussion of adopt
ing a strict limit on financial aid
to athletes but no action was
taken.
Drawings were held for first
round opponents in the 1956
OCC baseball tournament at
Eastern Oregon May 18-19. The
first round .will send Oregon
Tech against Southern Oregon
and Eastern Oregon against
OCE-. Portland State drew a bye.
The conference adopted a rub

tioned well in its opener but not
so effectively in the second
scrap. Schopf since has been
running the SOC players
through heavy drills to get them
ready for the experienced Poets.
The Ashland club hopes to up its
shooting percentage which was
only .270 from the field in the
second mix with the Wildcats.
The Poets have four starters
back from last season's South
ern California Intercollege Ath
letic Conference co-champion
team they are Joe Wohlmuth
and Stan Hubert, forwards, and
Chuck Hasley and George Pier
son, guards. Hal Conley may be
at -the center spot with John
Ogle possibly seeing much duty
at the pivot.
Coach Bob (Tiger) Smith will
send the SOC junior varsity
against St. Mary's high of Med

Shaw Undecided
On Beaver Offer
Portland (U.R) George Shaw,
Oregon's gift to professional
football, was resting at his home
today still undecided about
whethe.r he might try to play
baseball with the Portland Bea

cessful season with the Balti
more Colts Sunday, said he
hadn't given much thought to
his plans for the winter months
but that he definitely planned to
return to pro football next sea

Army in February, 1957, under
the ROTC program.
The Portland Beavers express
ed interest in Shaw last summer.
