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

House Highways Committee in

state throughway act to conform
with federal requirements. The
bill would remove a restriction
that a road cannot be called a
throughway if it has 10 or more
commercial buildings per mile.
Would Authorize Bonds
Another important bill would
authorize the commission to
issue and sell S3 million in bonds
to meet requirements for full
participation in the federal in
terstate highway program.
Other bills would:
Permit roadworking machines
to travel highways while work
ing on projects without getting
.Individual trip permits.
Simplify enforcement of laws
on oversize and overweight ve
hicles. Prohibit fishing from' bridges
and other structures under high
way department control.

Ocean shore from the Highway
Department to the State LSnd
Board, which also has some au
thority over the beaches. The
shore between high and low tide
was designated a public highway

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

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.

Spurs Hawks in

Slater Martin, a little fellow
as far as professional basketball
is concerned, is determined to
prove that a man can still play
the game and serve as coach too.
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.
