OUon C Ravenor Handicap 145 170 190 1S2 137 604 The "one-and-one" rule is that which gives a player an addi tional gift shot if he makes the first one after a personal foul except when "a basket is made. "It's a bad rule," says Wool pert. "It stresses mechanical skill and outweighs the perfor mance of a man on the floor." Woolpert has been a dedicated foe of the rule ever since it went into effect and he is going to continue his campaign. Makes No Sense "Did you note the other night that Idaho made nine field goals more than Southern California, but lost the game," he points out. "It just doesn't make sense." Woolpert, possibly in a nega tive mood, also refused to be lieve that the West has a mono poly on good defensive play in the game of basketball. "All coaches know how to teach defensive basketball," he said, referring to the fact that six out of the top 10 teams in the nation's defensive statistics are from the Far West. "But I think we have a better balanced brand of basketball in this section than they do in some others, where they go all out for the points." In High Gear "And then, I think the offic ials vary in different sections on the calling of fouls. In some regions they give the offensive team all the help they can. In the West, we call fouls on the offense as well as the defense." Woolpert had a bit of trouble this year getting his Dons into high gear. They were getting knocked over with some regu larity for a while, but he fin ally found a winning combina tion to "take the place of K. C. Jones' and Bill Russell, his Ail Americans. Right now the club is on a win streak and is lead ing the California Basketball as sociation with a record of six wins and a single loss. . The CBA sends its winner into the regional play-offs at Cor vallis in the spring, so the Dons look like they'll get at least that far for the third straight year. Race Heads To Meet Cleveland (U.R) The new board of Randall Park race track will meet soon to decide whether to apply for membership in the Thoroughbred Racing Associa tion of America, it was an nounced today. Dan Parish, Pittsburgh, who headed a 14-man syndicate which bought the track Monday, made the announcement. The track was soM by a group headed by Saul Silberman. Attorney Homer Marshman, secretary of the New Randall Corporation, said that Randall's membership in the TRAA was not included in the sale. Other officers beside Parish and Marshman are Ed Moon, Mercer, Pa., vice president and general manager; A. C. Waller stedt of Pittsburgh, treasurer, and George Green, Pittsburgh, assistant secretary. Great Miler To Address MH Students Dr. Glenn Cunningham, who, after incredible recovery from a boyhood disaster, became America's greatest miler, will address students at Medford High school at 8:30 a.m. Wednes day. He is sponsored by the Na tional and Oregon Temperance leagues and will discuss "Clean Living and the Race of Life." His lecture here will mark one of 30 appearances in 10 days in Oregon. Cunningham was a distance star for University of Kansas and captained Olympic teams touring Europe in 1933 and 1936. His greatest performance was when he ran a world record breaking 4:04.4 mile. Both of Cunningham's legs were badly burned when, at the age of eight, he attempted to rescue his brother, Floyd, from a fire in school. Doctors advised amputation but Cunningham's parents refused, restoring life in his legs by massaging them. His first attempts to walk failed but Cunningham worked out a plan of exercises and healthful living and by iron determina tion and faith overcame his handicap. Running became his life. He has a national reputation in the field of physical educa tion and was a physical train ing officer in the Navy during world war II. Cunningham now operates an 840-acre ranch at Cedar Point, Kan. Much of his time during the school year is spent in addressing high school assemblies. In a recent 12 month period he reached more than 300,000 young people.

Loop leading Prospect will play Butte Falls high there, encountering its toughest remaining hurdle in its quest of an unshared cham pionship in the circuit. A Prospect victory will all but assure the lone loop toga but a Logger win could mean a three-way tie for the banner with St. Mary's and Butte Falls deadlocking with the Cougars. St. Mary's, the defending champ, kept in its bid by beating Jack sonville 57 to 39 here last night. Prospect goes into tonight's affair with a 7-1 mark in the league and Butte Falls is 6-2. St. Mary's stands 7-2 after topping the Redskins. AH three clubs, of course, still have Thursday foes standing in their way. Prospect Dlays at Jacksonville, St. Mary's at Talent and Butte Falls at Rogue River.

First quarter ended 19 to 10 with SM on top and at the half the spread was 37 to 16. Third quar ter score was 48 to 27. Ron Pruitt was high point maker for St. Mary's with 14 while Gary Hueners totalled II for Jacksonville. Coach Millard Webb of the Crusaders substituted freely in the second half. The SM fast break helped its cause but the Crusaders were hitting on set shots, too. In other B league action Tal ent defeated Rogue River 50-27 on the losers court. Talent had the margin at all intermissions, 13-5. 31-11, and 39-17. High point man for Talent was Mel Gingerich, dunking 10 counters. Bob Bigman and Jon Bigman led Rogue River with 8 apiece.

Heavyweight May Get Garden Bid New York ' (U.R) Heavy weight contender Zora Folley may get a main event at Madi son Square Garden soon because of his eighth straight victory Monday night over awkward Howard Turner at St. Nicholas Arena. Folley of Chandler, Ariz., was slated to confer with brass hats of the International Boxing club about a Garden bout. Folley would prefer fifth-ranking Willie Pastrano, but Willie is slated for a fight with Johnny Holman at Louisville, Ky., Feb. 20. If ninth-ranked Folley can not arrange a Garden appearance, promoter Teddy Brenner of St. Nick's would like to use him again on March 18 against big Bob Baker of Pittsburgh. Zora, -25, won a unanimous decision over Turner of Brook lyn in Monday night's TV 10 rounder before 1.206 fans. It was a dull bout in which Folley was handicapped by heavier Turner's pressing and "bulling" tactics. Teams To Qualify For Golf Tourney Boca Raton, Fla. (U.R) Sixty-four teams of top ien nd women amateurs were sched uled to compete today in the qualifying round of the 15th an nual National Mixed Foursome golf tournament.

Wash., considered about the hottest combination to con tend with. , The players start match play Wednesday and the tournament runs through Saturday. r Builders Supply QUALITY BLOCKS Bricks, Flues. Drain Tile 727 W. McAndrewi Pbone 2 4107 Sport Parade By JACK CUDDY Sports Writer United Press Atlantic City, N.J. (U.R) Hard-rock guys like Harry Greb, Stanley Ketchel and Jack Demp sey who fought through the hobo jungles and the blood and guts towns wouldn't believe this. Because boxing went formal Monday night, in an atmosphere of gladiolas, models in Lollabrig ida costumes, and net silk stock ings, red velvet ropes, more low cut dinner gowns than you'll see in the Waldorf Astoria on a Sat urday night, and everybody in tuxedos. It all happened in the 500 Club, one of the leading night bistros in the. "Playground of the World." And none of the old time fighters ever played so soft. Looked "Just Ducky" The piece de resistance was billed as a bout between Pat Manzi of Syracuse, N. Y., and Chico Vejar of Stamford, Conn. You've seldom seen worse fights in better night clubs. First, in a room filled with "swells'" lured into the joint by a formal dress outfit, there was a fashion show with the accent believe it or not on male attire. And the models, leggy and chesty as the mode dictates, were such magazine poseurs as heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson, former heavy king Jimmy Braddock, ex-light heavy ruler Tommy Loughran, middle weight Rocky Castellani. welter weight Billy Graham and 74-year-old former featherweight champion Abe Attell. They looked just ducky, kids. Castellani wore a straw Ty rolean hat in mustard green, cum merbund, and all. Graham had more of the same in mustard brown. Braddock was attired in the same costume in white and black with Loughran in the con ventional black. Let's face it, girls. What can you do for men when they dress up? Patterson A Stunner Attell appeared in top hat and tails while Patterson was a I stunner in a siver lame dinner jacket. Most stunning of all, even the sportswirters wore tuxedos and practically unbelievable so did the photographers. Oh, yes, the fight. . Vejar, slightly de rigeur in being among the other two guys in the joint sans a fuxedo, won handily. But Hollywood and the stubble-chinned guys of the past never saw anything like this. Pass the champagne and throw those two bums out. PICTURE TUBES REJUVENATED Is your picture tub dull and weak?
