13 Highway Bills Get Commission Approval For Debate in House Salem (U.R) A package of 13 bills recommened by the State Highway Commission was ap proved for introduction by the House Highways Committee in its first working session here late yesterday.

The bill would remove a restriction that a road cannot be called a throughway if it has 10 or more commercial buildings per mile.

The FBI said Porter, who is married and the father of three children, was taken into custody in Portland. Details of the investigation were not revealed immediately but Santoiana praised state po lice, Clackamas County Sheriff Joe Shobe and the Washington county sheriff's office for their work in the case. Complaint To Ba Filed Santoiana said a complaint would b filed today before Mrs. Claire Mundorff, U.S. commis sioner here. U.S. Attorney C. E. Luckey recommended that bond be set at $20,000. Porter was identified by the FBI as a canvass worker and up holsterer by trade. He operates an auto top shop in West Linn. Santoiana said Porter also was being questioned about a super market holdup at Jennings Lodge last month In which $1200 was taken. In the robbery a week ago to day a gunman enlered the Sher wood bank shortly before noon carrying a cowhide satchel and asked for a loan. Then he tcld bank manager Lynn Judy it was a stickup.

MEDFORTVaTRIBUNE Washington Huskies Gun for Lead in PCC By NEAL CORBETT United Press Sports Writer Most of the basketball players on the Pacific Coast will have their minds on upcoming exam inations this week end, but those who do see action will be aim ing at some pretty high goals. The Washington Huskies can climb to the top of the Pacific Coast conference standings with a double win over Stanford, and Idaho can step out of the cellar with a pair of victories over Oregon. Players at California, UCLA, Oregon State, USC and Wash' ington State probably will find time from their other work to at least notice the results. The present conference stand ings are: California 5-0; UCLA 4-0; Washington 4-0; Oregon State 2-2; Stanford 1-2; South ern California 1-3; Washington State 14; Oregon 0-2 and Idaho 0-5. Broncs Meet Fresno There'll be no action tonight in the California Basketball as sociation, but Saturday, Santa Clara will try to extend its un beaten string against Fresno State and Pepperdine will meet San Diego State in a non-con ference game. The present CBA standings are: Santa Clara 3-0; St. Mary's 3-1; University of San Francisco 2-1, San Jose State 3-2, Loyola 2-2, College of Pacific 1-2, Fresno State 1-3, and Pepperdine 0-4. Washington goes into tonight's game with double victories over Southern California and Idaho. The Trojans split a pair with Oregon State, while the Van dals dropped a pair of thrillers to the champion UCLA Bruins and were edged Tuesday night by Fashington State. WARM JAIL PREFERRED Paterson, N. J. (U.R) Wil liam Ellis Sr., 46, a laborer, told a domestic relations judge Thurs day he would rather stay in jail than face the cold winter days on a suspended sentence for de sertion and non-support. Judge Milton Schamach revoked part of the sentence aid ordered Ellis imprisoned for 60 days. Sport Parade JUrT. OSCAR NtALEY 3 Spsrtl Writ y'TATf United fo High Court Hears Pro Grid Case Washington (U.R) The Su preme Court has taken under advisement a case in which the National Football league has asked for professional football the ' same anti-trust immunity now enjoyed by professional baseball. Decision on the case, stem ming from a suit by former De troit Lions tackle Mike Rado vich, is expected some time be fore the end of the court term in June. The court heard two hours of spirited argument on the case Thursday, much of it provoked by questions from several of the justices. Much of the argument centered on whether decisions handed down in 1922 and in 1953 regarding baseball should also apply to the pro gridiron sport. Lower Courts Agree Two lower courts already have returned a finding that pro football should have the same immunity from anti-trust action that baseball has, but counsel for Radovich has charged the NFL with monopolistic tactics in vio lation of the federal anti-trust laws. Radovich, of Los Angeles, sued the NFL and its member teams in 1949 under the anti-trust laws, charging they had blacklisted him for leaving the Detroit Lions in 1946 .to play with the Los Angeles Dons of the now de funct All-America Conference. Stanford opened the season by splitting a pair of hair-raisers with Oregon State, but then looked dismal losing to Cali fornia in a single game. How ever, the Indians have had 10 days to rest and correct mis takes. At any rate, California will be rooting for Stanford to stop the Huskies and that's a twist. Very few Berkeley residents have ever been treated . for hoarseness from cheering Stan ford. Both Idaho and Oregon will be looking for their first victory in conference play. The Vandals want to end the five-game los ing streak, and the Ducks want to bounce back from a double loss at the hands of California. Other games scheduled for to night include: San Francisco State vs. Sacramento State; Se attle Pacific vs. Portland U. Four Knot In Caliente Golf Tussle Agua Caliente, Mex. (U.R) Everything is in black and white on the odds board in the $15,000 Caliente Open Golf tournament and the bookmakers today listed these prices on the four men tied for the leadership at the start of the second round. Defending champion Mike Souchak, 6-1; Julius Broos, Mid pines, N.C., 12-1; Harry Weet man, Croydon, England, 15-1; and Len Kenftett, Camp Pendle ton, Calif., 30-1. The four shot makers each had 68, four strokes under par on the Tijuana Coun try club course, but were only one stroke ahead of four others. With gambling sharing inter-- est with the golfing results, the bookmakers cut Souchak from 8-1, Weetman from 25-1, Boros from 15-1, and Kennett from 70-1. Odds Cut In Four Thursday, they paid their backers not too well. Because of the four-way tie, the odds were cut in four on each man. In other words, Weetman, at 25-1 should have paid $52 for a ?2 bet. Instead he paid only $13. Regardless of the pay-off, there was some brilliant golf especially by Weetman. He had toured the first nine in a disap pointing 39 when he suddenly caught fire and birdied the next six holes for a 29 on the back nine and a new course record. Tied at 69 were former PGA champion Doug Ford, Al Besse link, Grossinger's, N.Y., Bill Bis dorf, San Diego, Calif., and a newcomber to the professional ranks, Larry Mowry of Tijuana, Mex. There were 12 men tied at 70, Including Jay Hebert, winner of the Bing Crosby event last week. FIGHT DELAYED Rnpnns Aires. Argentina HU.PJ The Jan. 30 world flyweight title bout between champion Pascual Perez of Argentina and challen ger Memo Diez of Mexico has been postponed because of ill ness of the Mexican fighter. Diez is suffering from a stomach dis order, but said he should be able to go through with the fight in 'eight to 15 days. Birthplace of the Star Spangled Banner, at Fort Mc- Henry, Maryland, is now a na- j tlonal shrine. New York (U.R) Big time basketball in such off-campus sites as Madison Square Garden still is reeling today under the effects of the 1951 scandals but Ned Irish, the father of the com mercial double-headers, isn't planning to surrender. In the days before the "fixes," twin-bills at the Garden usually were sellouts which attracted 18,000 fans each and every time. This year the "crowds" have been averaging a mere 4,000. Irish contends that the crowds "aren't particularly down." This is either a tribute to his gameness or a knock against his eyesight. But he does admit that " "over the country the crowds are on the upswing." "Ten years ago. there were many colleges which didn't have the large field houses they have today," Irish contends. "Now they don't go on the road as much as they used to, which may be a partial answer." Hit The Road In other words, back in the pre-fix days, the colleges with a building program hit the road and made themselves a big repu tation as well as a lot of money. This helped build and fill those field houses in which they sell out today. Another influence is that aft er the scandals, there was a tre mendous back-to-the-c a m p u s movement to remove the play-1 ers from the reach of the big j city gamblers. But now only the Big Seven has a ban against off campus play and that is highly elastic in view of the fact that , Iowa State uses the new Des ; Moines stadium and the confer- i ence tournament is held in the Kansas City Municipal stadium. Irish sees the current stum- j bling block, at least as far as Madison Square Garden is con cerned, in a lack of local talent. Low Calibre Teams "The calibre of such teams as New York university and St. I John's lessened after that trouble with the boys," said Irish, who prefers not to men tion the word "scandal." "But if all those New York : boys now playing for North Carolina, as example, were play ing for NYU, we'd be drawing with such a team in the Gar den," he added. "And if Kansas played here with Wilt Cham berlain, you'd see a capacity crowd on hand. We just don't have the teams right now." So Irish, who started this , double header business in 1934, is planning to carry on as usual in the future. But there can be no doubt but j what off-campus college play j doesn't have the drawing power I of pre-scandal days. And he s going to find it difficult to lure the big draws out of their own bulging field houses. Th.

Martin, named coach of the floundering St. Louis Hawks re cently, put on one of his best performances of the season in the National Basketball associa tion Thursday night to lead the Hawks to a 106-82 victory over the Fort Wayne Pistons. MacAuley, Pettit Shine Sparkling play by Ed Mac Auley and Bob Pettit, plus the all-around hustle of little Martin enabled the Hawks to build up a commanding lead in the first half. St. Louis easily held on to gain the win which moved it to within three percentage points of third-place Minneapolis in the Western Division. The Lakers lost ground when Sweetwater Clifton's two free throws in the final minute of play gave the New York Knick- Friday, January 18, 1937 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE HTNE Practice Shoot Scheduled Sunday Medofrd Gun club members have practice shooting again this Sunday with the primary aim being to sharpen for the annual team contest on Sunday, Feb. 10.
