After the fight, Aragon was to give back the S500 forfeit plus the $500 pay to his opponent. "Goldstein agreed entirely," Morgan said. "He came to San Antonio and the promoter there advanced Goldstein $500 on his purse." But Goldstein refused to entrust the $500 to Aragon.

Oak Street 2-8047 Fears Challenges Parker To Clean Up His Own Club Los Angeles (U.PJ Ram vet eran Tom Fears challenged De troit Lions Coach Buddy Parker today to "clean up his own back yard" in a dispute over dirty playing charges in the National Football league. Fears took issue with Parker Thursday in the midst of a flurry of charges growing out of a De troit accusation that the Chicago Bears' Ed Meadows deliberately injured Lions quarterback Bobby Layne last Sunday. Fears said Parker "has two of the biggest thugs on his team, including the dirtiest player in the league and should clean up his own backyard" before mak ing accusations against other teams. Fears joined other Rams and former Rams in disputing state ments that prices were put on the heads of NFL quarterbacks, with players themselves putting" up a pool to go to the man who took the opposition star out of the game. "Gil Mains is the dirtiest play er in the league and Jim David is notoriously dirty," Fears charged. "Parker should clean up his own back yard." Bell Satisfied No Plot by Rams To Injure Layne Philadelphia (U.P.) Nation al Football league commissioner Bert Bell was satisfied today that Washington Redskins half back Norb Hecker never heard of, or was party to a jlot to "get" Bobby Layne of the De troit Lions or any other player. Bell came to his conclusion after tossing five $64,000 ques tions at the veteran Hecker after asking Redskins officials to bring him to their office telephone. He got a "no" answer each time. The commissioner made his call in the wake of Laynes' in jury from a tackle by Eddie Meadows in the Lions-Bears game last Sunday, and a Wash ington newspaper's quoting Hecker that when he played for Los Angeles there was a money pool among the Rams to see who could "get" quarterback Layne. Bell, already riled at grum blings of "dirty football" from owners, coaches and players, re peated that "no National Foot ball league player would try maliciously to injure another." He said he summoned Hecker "to get the answers from the boy himself." Parker Refuses To Sign Contract Detroit (U.P.) Detroit Lions Coach Buddy Parker left the board of directors feeling like Ed Meadows had tackled each and every one of them. Parker, one of the most suc cessful coaches in the business, refused to sign a contract for 1957. Neither he nor Lions Presi dent Edwin J. Anderson would elaborate. Anderson said the directors of fered Parker a new contract, re portedly a two-year pact at $30, 000. But Anderson would not say why Parker wouldn't accept it. Close Mouthed Parker and Anderson were as close mouthed Thursday as they were talkative after Sunday's loss to the Chicago Bears. Then Parker threatened to quit professional football be cause of what he termed a dis astrous "slugging match" in stead of a game. The threat stemmed from the incident in the Lions-Bears game in which Meadows tackled Bob by Layne and the Detroit quar terback wound up with a brain concussion. Later, Detroit movies of the game showed Layne was not slugged ' as Anderson con tended but that Meddows had tackled him clean and hard. Hawkeyes Get Defensive Drill By UNITED PRESS Pasadena, Calif. (U.R) Iowa Football Coach Forest Evashev- ski said today he is seriously concerned about stopping Ore gon State's fast and dangerous running attack in the New Year's Rose Bowl game. "Oregon State's speed will hurt anyone, and we must con- trol it," Evashevski said. The mentor also said that he j would gladly settle for the same one-point victory in the Rose j Bowl that Iowa scored over Oregon State in their previous ! meeting. I Evashevski indicated his re t spect for the Beavers Thursday i by devoting almost the entire i morning drill to defense with the third team taking the part of i the Staters. Yogi Berra Signs For $55,000 Pay ! New York (U.R) Yogi Berra was living it up today as the highest paid catcher in baseball history and changing the linen laundry on his brand new son gave him a parental attitude to ward his fellow New York Yan kee tea'nmates. Yogi signed Thursday for $55, 000 and it was dramatic evidence i as to how a kid can go with tajent. It was a long way from "The Hill." the Italian section i of St. Louis where he was born. League Pin Action Has 2-Week Halt Medford Bowling lanes tenta tively plans to be operating as a 22-alley layout by Jan. 2, pro prietor Fred Anderson has an nounced. He said that the lanes will be closed to league bowling for two weeks following this Sunday night. However, open bowling will be possible during this period. An addition with 10 new al leys is being completed. Opera tion of the new lanes along with the present 12 will make the Medford establishment second largest in Oregon.

North Carolina Has Close Call By TIM MORIARTY United Press Sports Writer North Carolina's southern gen tlemen from the sidewalks of New York remained unbeaten today, but they're hoping north ern hospitality improves tonight when their road stiow shifts to Boston Garden. The talented Tarheels run into a dangerous Dartmouth team at Boston after New York univer sity almost spoiled their debut before the "home folks" Thurs day night at Madison Square Garden. Although most of their play ers grew up and learned their basketbal in New York, the Tar heels suffered a surprising case of "Gardenitis" in the opener of a three-game northern tour but recovered in time to gain a 64-59 victory over NYU. One Point Apart NYU appeared headed to wards a major upset by pulling to within one point (58-57) of North Carolina in the final two minutes. Meanwhile, LaSalle ruined North Carolina State's opener for a two-game northern tour with a late rally that earned the Explorers an 83-76 victory at Philadelphia. Tom Garberina scored 30 points for the Ex plorers. In the only other game involv ing a top-ranked team, Minne sota handed eighth-rated Kan sas State its first defeat, 80-72, despite a 33-point performance by the Wildcats' Jack Paar.

Ortega Opposes De Marco Tonight New York (U.PJ ianky Gaspar Ortega of Mexico will try to prove tonight in a return bout with ex-welterweight cham pion Tony DeMarco at Madison Square Garden that last month's split decision over Boston Tony was no fluke. "I ween beeger tonight," said Ortega, with tnree straight up sets under his belt. "He no knock me out las' time no body knock me out. So thees time maybe I knock heem out." Their 10-rounder will be tele vised and broadcast nationally by NBC at 10 p.m. EST.

MECFfSRD (OREGON) Brown Key To Hopes of Loyoli a Lions (Thi is another in a seriu o of West Coasjt collegiate bas ketball prospects.)
