Corvallis, Ore. (U.R; Make way for big Dave Gambee (617) and little Jim Anderson (5-7) who expected to give Oregon State a vastly improved basket ball team this year once it shakes out some of the early .season kinks. Coach Slats Gill, back for his 30th campeign with the once formidable Beavers, feels that Gambee is destined to become one of the greatest cagers in the school's history- The fancy for l - ,rd finishprt third amoni? the Pacific Coast conference scorers last season and does an excep tional job on defense. As tor Anderson, he stepped into the starting lineup out of total obscurity. Little Jim wasn't even listed on pre-season dope sheets until he checked in one day with a role as playmaker that left the experts wide-eyed. Team Improves Anderson has started all five games played so far and in which the team shows signs of living up to Gill's expectations even if it has lost three contests. The coach has three 6-8 cen ters to work with Wayne Moss and Ralph Carroll who are two of seven returning lettermen, and sophomore Gary Goble. Other tested veterans, who earned, their letters last season are forward Bob Allord, a 6-5 senior and three 6-0 guards Ken Nanson, Gary Haynes and Jerry Crimins. The latter also is a senior. In addition to Goble, Slats has three other outstanding sophs forward Don Pino (6-2) and guards Lee Harman (6-1) and Ted Millei (6-2). The Beavers have defeated Brigham Young and Wyoming so Jones Heads Skier Group Myers Jtenes has been- named president of the Rogue Snow men ski club. New secretary is Lee Ann Bessonette. Leonard Vaughn has been selected to handle pub licity and Jack Hanel is in charge of bus transportation for the group. Snowmen, meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. D. Bessonette, 2609 Hillcrest rd. this week, discussed ski condi tions of the surrounding areas and also talked concerning the possibility of a cabin being built for use by members at the new Mt. Shasta ski area. Trips to Reno, Nev., Mt. Hood and Lake view were discussed. Movie Shown A motion picture was shown at the meeting on the ABCs of skiing.

Knickerbockers' Felix Gets Fine By UNITED PRESS Center Ray Felix was $25.00 poorer today, and. the New York Knickerbockers hoped, a bit wiser. The 6-11 Felix incurred an automatic fine Wednesday night when in anger he batted the ball out of Referee Hoerst's hands after being charged with his sixth foul a technical. Up until that point early in the final period the Knicks were in the game, but the Min neapolis Lakers opened up and breezed to a 121-103 victory. Big Clyde Lovellette scored 29 points, 15 of them in the last ses sion, to lead the Laker attack. The Rochester Royals, rumor ed to be headed for a new home because of poor fan support, lengthened their lead in the Western Division of the National Basketball association to a full game by beating the Boston Cel tics. 103-93, and the Philadel phia Warriors moved into a sec ond place tie with the Knicks in the. Eastern race by defeating the St. Louis Hawks, 115-99 in other games. DISMISSAL REFUSED, New York (U.PJ Federal Judge Sidney Sugarman has re fused to dismiss a $1 million damage suit against the National Basketball Association filed by a Washington group, ruling that the group has a claim for which relief can be granted and can sue. The Washington Profession al Basketball Corp.. Inc., filed the action in' 1955, charging the NBA had conspired to prevent it from buying the franchise of the bankrupt Baltimore Bullets far this season but dropped games to Colorado, Texas and Portland. No action is slated now until Dec. 18 when Gill's Cagers meet Missouri and Rice on successive nights. This will lead up to a holiday tournament at Corvallis with such strong squads as USF, Washington and Southern California coming to town. In the meantime, Gill is not discouraged by the team's slow beginning. "I think we'll have a good club," he repeats. Good Balance Exemplified In Pro Loop By UNITED PRESS The records of the Detroit Lions and Cleveland Browns dur ing the past two seasons show how well-balanced the competi tion has become in the National Football league. The Lions, now leading the Western division was a 9-2 rec ord, finished last in 1955 with a 3-9 mark. The Browns (5-6) probably will finish third or fourth in the Eastern division this year after winning the league championship the last two seasons. Detroit, Western champion from 1952 through 1954, was described as the best last-place team in league history last sea son when it suffered five of its nine losses by seven points or less. This season the Lion zoom ed back to the top because they won the close ones, registering four cf their triumphs by four points or less. Their two losses were by margins of one and four points. String Snapped While Detroit bids to become the first NFL club ever to bounce from last to first, Cleveland's unprecedented string of division titles in two leagues finally has been snapped at 10. The Browns lost two games in the final sec onds but also won two by a total of seven points while compiling their current 5-6 record. The Lions play the Bears 8-2-1 at Chicago Sunday with the Western title going to the win ner. The Bears are tough at Wrigley Field but the Lions are picked to win because of their strong defensive unit. The other week end selections: Saturday Eagles (3-7-1) over Giants (7-3-1) at Philadelphia. Sunday Redskins (6-4) over Steelers (4-7) at Washington; Browns (5-6) over Cardinals (6-5) at Cleveland: Rams (3-8) over Packers (4-7) at Los Angeles Colts (4-6) over Forty Niners (4-6-1) at San Francisco. HOCKEY AMERICAN LEAGUE By United Press Hershey's mastery over bottom two clubs edged the the Bears into a slight first-place margin today in the American Hockev league. The Bears topped cellar dwelling Springfield, 3-2, in Wednesday night's action to move two points ahead of Provi dence. NATIONAL LEAGUE Boston (U.R) The Boston Bruins' hopes of holding the Na tional Hockey League lead rest ed in Carney Hospital today as goalie Terry Sawchuk under went a series of tests to deter mine the extent of a serious blood disease he is believed to have contracted.

Decisions Paul Jorgenson New York (U.R) Feather weight contender Carmelo Costa claimed triumphantly today the eyes of Texas must be blind or at least a little near-sighted. Costa of Brooklyn won a lop sided decision over Paul Jorgen- sen of Port Arthur, Tex., in their third meeting at Madison Square Garden Wednesday night; and he insists he won the other two bouts at Houston "by even wider margins" but didn't get the ver dicts. Jorgensen, 21 and ranked sec ond among feather contenders, held fifth-rated Costa to a draw on July 31 and won the decision on Nov. 20. HARDY CONSTITUTION Boston (U.R) Massachusetts is the only state in the Union still governed under its original constitution. The Bay State con stitution has endured chiefly be cause of its broad provisions and flexible character. It was the first such document to estab lish the principle of the separa tion of powers of the various branches of government. COMPAII, BAfOSTOWH, iiMIUUI I Hi Jack Robinson Goes To New York Giants New York (U.R) Jackie Rob inson, one of the greatest heroes in Brooklyn Dodgers history, was traded to the New York Giants today for pitcher Dick Littlefield and' an undisclosed sum of cash estimated at 550,000. Giant Manager Bill Rigney said he was "elated by the deal" and announced that the greying 36-year-old Robinson would play first base for the Giants next season. A Giants spokesman revealed that President Horace Stoneham Gamecocks Thump NCS Crew 75-61 By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer It looks as if it's true what they said about Dixie North Carolina State isn't kingpin any more. For nine of the last 10 years, Coach Everett Case guided State's Wolfpack to a confer ence championship and a high national rating. That's why pre season whispers from the South land that State wasn't up to par were hard to believe. But Clemson surprised Tues day night by upsetting the 'Pack, 96-94, for the first time in 15 years and Wednesday night came the real shocker South Caro lina's runaway 75-61 victory over State, the first Gamecock win in Case's reign. SC Leads All Way In contrast to the Clemson "squeaker," South Carolina led all the way after the first 10 minutes- with a 34-24 halftime margin, fought off a State rally that cut the margin to 38-34 early in the second half, and then breezed home. Sophs Fred Lentz .and Ray Pericole had 19 and 18 points, respectively, to lead South Carolina. Actually, fouls cost N.C. State the game, which was played at Charlotte, S. C. South Carolina had 40 tries from the charity line and sank 27; State had only 14 tries and sank five, wiping out State's four-basket edge from the floor. The already groggy experts were jolted again Wednesday night when Niagara, tied for the No. 18 national ranking, suf fered an 82-79 setback by twice- beaten Syracuse. Niagara was fresh from an easy victory over Seton Hall and seemed on its way up in the national rankings. YOUR Toniaht AT THE LODGE For Members Only! REFRESHMENTS from 5 to 7 Dinner at 6:30 Thursday, December IS, H58 of the Giants and Walter O'Mal ley of the Dodgers "closed the deal" at the recent Major League meeting in Chicago but the an nouncement was withheld be cause the executives wanted to reveal the news to the players first. Robinson, first Negro to play Major League baseball, thus will bring his fiery talents to the team against which he batted hardest during his spectacular career. A star performer for the Dodgers since 1947, Robinson carried on constant feud with former Giant Manager Leo Durocher and always seemed to play at his best against the Giants. Six World Series Robinson, a star athlete at UCLA, played in six World Series with the Dodgers and also participated in six All-Star games against the American League. He has a lifetime batting average of .309 and hit more than .300 for six straight seasons, 1949 to 1954 inclusive. Robinson's play fell off badly in 1955 when he hit only .256 in 105 games and the Dodgers ob tained Ransom Jackson from the Chicago Cubs with the idea that he would take over the veteran Negro star's job. But Robinson responded to the. challenge by playing tremendous ball -during spring training and eventually "won" the job fro.m Jackson. Robinson was a potent factor as the Dodgers battled the front running Milwaukee Braves down the National League stretch run. last season, once again demon strating his magnificentt "deter mination to win." In the World Series, he en abled the Dodgers to send the classic to the full seven games when he singled home a run in the 10th inning of the sixth game that gave Brooklyn a 1-0 victory over the Yankees.
