o o SiSP Winr 2nd Jn Row; Tops Loyola O San Fricisco U.R' '"Last O yearfcl.ional champs, this year national chjjmps," changed Loy ola of Los "Angeles rooters Sat 3irdr night before Loyola's CJame with the University of San Friificisco. But by the time the game ended, if the Lion fans were O talng at all. it was out of the other side of the mouth. USF won, 66-45, and looked anything like "chumps" in the ding. It was the second night in Accession the NCA defending champs had coasted home? de , fcating Pcpperdine of Los An- q geles, 73-67, th evening pre vious. The USF club once again looked the part of potential champs. And the big difference was the big ma. 6-9 Art Day, tfte sophomore "successor" to All-American Bill Russell. Day, from Kansas Cfty, Mo., Cwho arrived at USF this fall unsolicited, has finally found lus niche as a starter. When he checked in for prac tice in November he looked like the rawest of rookies in trying to fit into the Phil Woolpert style of play which puts the emphasis on defense. Consequently while Woolpert j tutored Day in the fine points of fense, the "all man from i the midlands rode the bench the , first half of the season. He took over as a regular starter at the center post two -weeks ago. Since then the Dons, ttill playing below their poten- i tial, have handily won three I games and once again rate as the favorite to win the Calif ornia Basketball association title and qSalify for the NCAA regionals. .

Big Ten ASks Looser TV Controls Chicago ;U.R) ' The Big Ten wants looser controls on football television to forestall legislative pressure which q could force the conference out of the National Collegiate Ath letic association, Illinois Ath letic Director Doug Mills spec ulated today. . The conference has proposed that the 1957 NCAA plan ought to have only one restriction: That no school may appear on video more than three times, regardless of the size of the network or areacovered. "If that goes through," Mills said, "I think it would kill the bills which would force 'our schools to televise." Legislation has been intro duced in both Ohio and Indiana to force states chools to televise more games, and Mills said that in his opinion, should the schools be forced to get out of the NCAA. ther Big Ten mem bers would get iut too. Mills, Region Four representa tive on NCAA TV committee, will fight for the Big Ten plan today at the opening of a three day committee session to divise the 1957 plan. Hearings for pro posals from interested parties will be held today and the com mittee vvis expected to work the next two days devising the , program. j MUST BE DRESSED SaigAi.

I Bulk of Yank Pitching Staff As Yet Unsigned By UNITED PRESS Now that their big-gun Mickey Mantle has signed his 1957 contract, the New York Yankees today went after their flame-throwers in a drive to catch up with most of the oth er major league clubs in the "fountain pen derby." Mantle was only the 14th member of the world champions to come to terms when he for mally signed Monday for a re ported S60.000. That left 27 Yankees still out of the fold, including the bulk of the pitch ing staff. Don Larsen, among the pitch ers, is expected to give the Yankee negotiators their big gest tussle on the basis of that unprecedented no-hit, no-run game he turned in against the Dodgers in last year's World Series. The no-windup right hander reportedly hopes to double his 1956 salary of $12, 000 this year but the first con tract he returned assertedly car ried only a $3,000 raise.

How about a slalom race for sports cars? More than 100 of the little racing midgets of all classes will compete in a zig-zag race through mountains of snow at Heavenly Valley, near Lake Ta toe on Sunday. "This is the first event of this kind ever staged, as far as I know," said Roy Storey, race chairman of Sports Cars, Un limited. "And we don't know exactly what to expect in the way of re sults. "We are having a snow plow dig a zig-zag road following a path that the people in the cov ered wagons used to take a cen tury ago. It has a dirt base, but the snow may be pilled high on both sides." Sub-Zero Weather Storey says that the drivers all will be dressed in ski clothes to combat the cold which has been reaching down around the 10 decrees below zero mark in that territory at night. The elevation at Heavenly Valley is 6,500 feet. "The sports cars, which will include all the usual ones in this type of race the MG, Porsche, Corvette, Jaguar, Mer-cedes-B e n z, etc. will be equipped with chains," explains Storey. "But I don't know just how this will work out as there is very little room between the tire of a sports car and its fender." Storey figures that the win ners if anyone completes the trip over the treacherous 2-2-miles course should average from 40 to 50 miles per hour.

For the unitiated, a "slalom" race for skiers is one down the side of a mountain, in which the skier siz-zags through a series of set poles. "We are putting a few extra turns in this run to make it a little tougher than our ancestors followed so long ago," said Storey. Just what the boys are trying to prove hasn't been explained but it sounds like a lot of fun for the guys who are in the winter land anyway and are too tired to ski. And just to add a little class to the whole show, Jackie Jen sen, Boston Red Sox outfield star, will act as marshall of the race and his pretty wife, for mer diving queen Zoe Ann Ol sen Jensen, will be the "queen" who hands out the kisses to the winners. Witte to Play In Canada Corvallis (U.R) John Witte, 232-pound all-American tackle at Oregon State, said today he had decided to play Canadian pro football instead of joining the Los Angeles Rams. Witte said he has signed a con tract with Saskatchewan of the Canadian League. Terms were I not disclosed but Witte said he j was well satisfied with the contract. The Los Angeles team drafted Witte two years ago when his class would normally have grad uated. Witte returned for the 1955 and 1956 seasons after two years in the Army. The Rams were reported to have tried hard to sign Witte during the past several weeks.
