He reentered the ac- lion after sitting out almost i eight minutes with the four fouls against him. Plumley Sidelined In tiie meantime, tallest man. Plumley Medford's , who had done good work against the Quaker spire, was on the side lines. Franklin cut the margin down to one point at 29 to 23 and 31 to 30 for the Tornado. The I Quakers whacked it to 35 to 34 as Jensen hit once from the field and twice from the free line. Then Copple hit from back of the key fur its 37 to 34 edge at the intermission. It was three long field heaves by Stonelake which helped Franklin keep on top in the sec ond quarter after Jensen had been pulled to the bench. - Medford connected on only five of 23 field tries in the first half for .217 average but sizzled with 12 for 22 in the last two quarters for .545 and had a .37" mark for the game.

Oregon end named to start in tomorrow's East -West Shrine game, has been chosen on Colo rado's 1956 all-opponent football team. By HAL WOOD Sart Francisco UK Battle lines were drawn today for the 32nd annual Shrine East-West grid classic here Saturday as head coaches Terry Brennan of the East and Buck Shaw of the Oregon State Meets Dons Corvallis (U.R) Oregon State meets national champion San Francisco and Washington col-, lides with Southern California tonight in the opening round of the first annual Far West Classic in Gill Coliseum. Tomorrow night the two win ners meet for the handsome, two foot trophy to be given the first Far West champion. It was here a couple of seasons ago that San Francisco defeated Oregon State 60-34 to start on its amazing 60-game winning streak which ended only recently. The Dons also handed Oregon State a 57-36 defeat in the NCAA rcgionals in March of 1955 and went on to win the national crown. Ed Blake's ER Average Tops in International Montreal U.R) Ed Blake, the Toronto right hander who was drafted by the Kansas City Athletics for next year, was cer tified today as the International league's leading pitcher for 1956 on the basis of his earned run average of 2.61. Blake, who wort 17 games and lost 11 for the Maple Leafs, was drafted by Kansas City earlier this month and then sent to the Detroit Tigers in, an eight-player deal. Baseball Commissioner i Ford Frick ruled, however, that Blake must be retained by Kan sas City until at least March 25 and he returned to the Athletics. Bob Spiccr of Columbus, with a 12-4 record, topped the league with a .750 won-lost percentage. Only two hurlers won 20 or more games this past season, Lynn Lovenguth of Toronto win ning 24 and losing 12 while Fred Kipp of Montreal won 20 and dropped seven.

West named their all-star start ing lineups. The East will go into the fray a one-touchdown favorite with a backfield composed of Paul Hornung, Notre Dame, quarter back; Abe Woodsone, Illinois, left half; Terry Barr, Michigan, right half: and Ray Alberigi, Penn State, fullback. The West will counter with passing ace John Brodie, Stan ford, quarterback; Jon Arnett, Southern California, left half; Pete O'Garrn. UCLA, right half; and Dean Derby, Washington, fullback. The weather forecast is for continued clear and warm but coach Brennan of the East isn't worried about that. He can't figure the odds. Both coaches have announced their plans. "We will go mostly for end runs and a passing game," says Shaw for the West. "No use in trying to buck that big East line." Brennan plans to mix 'em up more. "We'll have about 10 plays, going either to right or left, plus the pass patterns." says Terry, the Notre Dame boss. Sharman Sets Gift Toss Mark By UNITED PRESS The National Basketball asso ciation's record bock isn't safe from the high-riding Boston Cel tics these days. Rookie Bill Russell set a new rebound record on Wednesday night and ort Thursday night, Bill Sharman established a new consecutive free throw mark in leading the Celtics, runaway Eastern division leaders, to a 97-92 win over the Rochester Royals. Sharman. who held the pre vious free throw record of 50. extended it to 55 before missing a conversion early in the second half.

Having already clinched the cup on Thursday, the Aussies sent twin stars Rosewall and Lew Hoad out for a sweep today and they came through in daz zling style. First dark-haired Rosewall, who is expected to announce Saturday he is turning profes sional, downed young Giam malva of Houston, Tex., 4-6, 6-1, 8-6, 7-5 in a hard-fought match, and then blond Hoad ripped easily through 33-year-old Vic Seixas of Philadelphia, 6-2, 7-5, 6-3. Second Straight Sweep It was the second win for each Aussie star in this round, and the second straight year that the Aussies beat. America by a per fect 5-0 score. But there could be trouble ahead in 1957 for the Aussies. The expected loss of Rosewall to Jack Kramer's touring pro fessional troupe will be felt, even though Hoad still will be around as the world's No. 1 play er and a number of young Aussies are ready to help him. And Giammalva, 22, showed again in his loss to Rosewall that he is rapidly becoming a player of top international abil ity. Pittsburgh, Georgia Tech Await Fray By DAWSON OPPENHEIMER Jacksonville, Fla. (U.R) Georgia Tech and Pittsburgh wind up drills today with sim ilar linal workouts before re newing Saturday a rivalry that began almost 40 years ago but was all but forgotten until the first day of this year. The grudge match, labelled as the "natural" of the year's big bowl games, should turn out to be the stiffest defensive test either team has faced all fall, with Pitt girding to stop Tech's speed, while Tech concentrates on the Panthers' rugged power and dangerous passing game. A good night's rest separates them from the second recent chapter of a rivalry that began in 1918 when Pittsburgh, under Pop Warner, trounced the En gineers, 32-0. Warner's talented team went on to make it three in a row over Tech, but the series ended in 1920 and never was renewed until Coaches John Michelosen and Bobby Dodd led Pitt and Georgia Tech to the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans Jan. 1 of this year. Tech won the renewal 7-0. Aldo Donelli Lion Coach New York (U.R) Little Aldo (Buff) Donelli, who never ducked a figlit in his life, today faced one of his toughest assignments as the new head football coach at Columbia university. Under Lou Little, who was retired this year after a 27-year term at Columbia, the one-time roaring Lions turned into tame tabby cats as their material de clined in recent years. Little's last winning year was 1951 when Columbia won five and lost three. Since 1951, the Lions have posted a dismal 11-33 won and lost record. Donelli, on the other hand, enjoyed marked success with equally limited material as head coach at Boston university dur ing the last 10 years. His Ter riers won 46 games, lost 36 and tied four. In 1954, BU posted an impressive 7-2 record, losing only to Boston College and Holy Cross by one-point margins. SUGAR BOWL SELLOUT New Orleans, La. (U.R) Sugar Bowl officials proudly laid claim today to the "'most attrac tive" match of all the post-season football classics, with a sell out crowd of 80.875 assured for the Jan. 1 meeting between Ten nessee and Baylor.
