Stanford Reports
Of Phony Jobs
bacramento, Calif. (U.R
Gov. Goodwin J. Knight said
rriday a great many" former
Stanford students had told him
of "phony jobs" for football
players while they attended the
university.
Knighf, a Stanford graduate,
said he had read accounts in
the press of charges by Chancel
lor Raymond Allen of UCLA
that Stanford players had re
ceived under the table payments
for phony jobs.
Knight said he had not read
any denial of the charges by
the Stanford president or Coach
Chuck Taylor.
Already Denied
At Stanford, Athletic Director
Al Masters said he already had
denied the charges by Allen.
"Maybe Gov. Knight should
come down here and learn some
of the facts himself," said Mast
ers. "There may be an isolated
case that we don't know about.
But it is not a general rule."
Masters added that Allen was
"completely ignorant of the
facts" in making his charges
that there was a phony job
program at Stanford.

By john Mcdonald
United Press Sports Writer
In a day of power baseball,
the big inning and the home run,
shrewd old Lefty O'Doul, dean
of Pacific Coast league man
agers, will still beat you with
brains and brazen base running
if you give him an Inch.
O'Doul's Vancouver Mounties
loaded the bases in the ninth
Friday night with the score
knotted at 3-3. Lefty flashed the
steal sign and Angelo Dagres
sped across the plate on the front
end of the triple steal.
Three More Huns
The Mounties went on to score
three more times in the frame
Anne Quast Defeats
Lesser for Golf Title
Hunginton, W. Va. (U.R)
Medalist Anne Quast, finishing
as hot as her record-breaking
start, defeated defending cham
pion Pat Lesser, 4-3, Saturday
to win the 56th Women's West
ern Amateur Golf tournament.
The 18-year-old University of
Washington sophomore, young
est girl ever to win the tourna
ment, gained revenge for three
previous defeats by Miss Lesser,
who also won the the National
Amateur last year.
Miss Quast, of Everett, Wash.,
went ahead to stay on the 210
yard 25th hole on the scheduled
ed 36-hole match when she sank
a 10-foot putt for a birdie two.
Hot putting and cool nerve
kept her ahead of her 22-year-old
Seattle, Wash., opponent the
rest of the way.

an easy win by a better than

The son of Count Fleet not
only ran in a mile and a quar

brief career but his time of 1:59-

And Count of Honor had
hardly crossed the finish line
when the crowd of 50.000 fans
immediately tabbed him as an

Westerner set last year was
2:00-3 5 by Swaps but it was a
question whether Swaps won
any more easily than Count of
Honor did Saturday.

Hank Aaron
Gives Punch
To Braves
By FRED DOWN
United Press Sports Writer
The Milwaukee Braves get
great pitching from just about
anybody Fred Haney calls on,
but its Hank Aaron who gives
them their day-to-day "punch."
Only 22 years old, the slender
Aaron has developed into the
"solid man" of the team. Joe
Adcock, Ed Mathews and Johnny
Logan break out in rashes of
hits at times but Aaron keeps
driving toward what he believes
will be his first National league
batting title.
Aaron has been belting the
ball at a .455 clip 'this month.
In the last 21 games he has
lifted his average from .293 to
a league-leading .337 mark.
Hank was at it again Friday
night when tJie Braves drubbed
the Philadelphia Phillies, 10-0,
behind Bob Buhl's two-hitter.
Hank smashed a two-run homer
and collected two other hits to
drive in a total of four runs in
pacing the Braves to their 10th
win in 11 games.
and then held off a San Diego
rally to turn back the Pads 7-5.
O'Doul has had to beat 'em on
brains with his weak-hitting last
place Mounties most of the cam
paign. But don't give up on
Lefty yet. With a revamped in

Mounties have now copped eight

Sportscribes
Not Forced to
Wear Tuxes
Toronto (U.R Promoter
Jack Solomons Saturday denied
he would force sports writers to
wear tuxedos at the Archie
Moore - James Parker fight
here Wednesday night.
But writers who fail to turn
out in sartorial splendor risk
the curled lip and raised eye
brows of scorn if they don't con
form. Toronto sportswriters were
not phased when told tactfully
"it would be nice" if they don
ned white or black tuxedos,
black bow ties and black cum
merbunds for the 15-round hea
vyweight bout.
Sports scribes in the United
States, however, were a mite
flabbergasted.
New York writers at first guf
fawed at the "dress after six"
order.
"It won't go six," said one.
"That's not what it means,"
explained another. "It means
you gotta wear soup and fish at
the ringside."
"Nertz!" said the qther. Eng
lish promoter Solomons, making
his debut in Canada, hastened
to assure the press corps that
the dress for the fight was op
tional. "I would be delighted if the
sports writers and the fans in
the first 15 rows would show up
in dress clothes," he said.
"It would be like a first
nighter at the opening of a play
on Broadway or London if
those in the $20 seats and writ
ers were dressed in dinner jack
ets and evening gowns."
The scribes are expected to
slip into their ringside seats in
full fashion..

Indifference
Of Olympic
Group Hit
Portland, Ore. OI.R) One
time Olympic skating star Hayes
Alan Jenkins, Friday blamed in
difference of the American
Olympic Committee for what he
termed "woefully weak" prepa
ration for the Olympic games.
Jenkins, holder of four world
skating titles and an Olympic
crown, was in Portland for ap
pearances of the Holiday on Ico
show in which he stars as a pro
fessional. He branded a recent state
ment by Olympic President Av
ery Brundage, that amateurs
even thinking of going profes
sional should be barred from
the Olympics, as "ridiculous and
old-fashioned."
"I hate to see amateurs dis
couraged from continuing in
their own sports because of a
ridiculous ruling such as that,"
he said.
Jenkins said "I qualified for
the last Olympics in March,
nearly 11 months before the
games. Not once, until we assem
bled in New York, did I ever
get a letter, training instructions
or so much as a 'hi' from the
Olympic committee."
He added, "when you see the
elaborate preparations made by
other countries, it makes you
wonder what our committee is
doing."
The figure skating ace, who
is a Phi Beta Kappa at Colo
rado College, will enter Harvard
law school this fall.
