CJame with the University of
San Friificisco.
But by the time the game
ended, if the Lion fans were

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

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.

More Than 100 Little Racing
Midgets Set Mountain Race
By HAL WOOD
United Press Sports Writer
San Francisco '.U.R) Nothing
new in sports?
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.
