o
STATE A-l HOOP MEET
BEGINS TUESDAY NIGHT;
TEAMS' RECORDS TOLD
University of Oregon, Eugene
Oregon's greatest sports week,
the 39th annual A-l high school
basketball tournament, opens at
McArthur Court Tuesday eve
ning and when the 16 prep teams
are through firing next Satur
day night one will be crowned
the 1957 state champion.
The action begins with Lincoln
playing St. Helens and the sec
ond game of the opening session
pits Benson against Astoria. The
other six games of the first
round will be played Wednesday
with Marshfield and Klamath
Falls tangling in the opener fol
lowed by North Salem and On
tario. In the afternoon the two
games pit Grant against McMinn
ville and Central Catholic
aeainst Redmond. The final pair
l the evening match Eugene
with Medford and Albany with
Pendleton.
Lincoln, Central Catholic, Kla
math Falls and Eugene have
been installed as the early fav
orites to replace Franklin as the
champion, but past tournaments
have proven that regular season
records are not a guaranty of
tournament success and a dark
horse could easily move into the
championship picture.
Tourney-Wis Fi.ld
The bulk of the field is tournament-wise,
with only Grant of
Portland more than three years
away from its last appearance

Upset Triumph
Scored by Byars
New York (U.R) Walter
Byars. the stubby Boston wel
terweight whose "basketball
speed" achieved the year's big
gest ring upset, said, "I'll fight
anybody who'll draw money,
preferably the champion."
Mustachioed Walt, the ex
Marine who was a 6-1 underdog
before he snapped the 12-straight
winning streak of sensational
Sugar Hart before 2.400 at Mad
ison Square Garden Fri., night,
attributed the victory to his re
markable speed and turtle-shell
attack.
"I got my speed and elusive
ness while playing basketball at
Brandeis High school against
taller fellows." explained Mr.
Upset. "And I figured out the
turtle-shell offense on my own
because I was always boxin'
taller fellows while learning in
the Marines."
Byars. weighing 144?4 pounds
to Hart's 1454, won the. unani
mous decision in. lopsided fash
ion on a rounds basis: 6-2-2, 7-3
and 8-0-2.

hitting nine from the field and
having a perfect eight-for-eight
night at the foul line.
Oregon State held a 13 point
bulge at 46-33 with 15 minutes
to go in the game. Oregon,
sparked by Hal Duffy, cut the
spread to five points in the next
ten minutes and trailed by only
48-43 with five minutes to go.
Take Up Slack
Gambee and Ken Nanson took
up the slack in the Beaver scor

pulled Oregon State out of dan

IOC Prexy
Demands Site
For Games
San Francisco (U.R) Avery
Brundage, president of the IOC,
moved in on Squaw Valley's
land row Saturday by demand
ing "unqualified assurance"
from the organizing committee
that the 1960 Winter Olympic
Games will be held there as
planned.
Negotiations for buying 32
acres of needed land bogged
down yesterday when Wayne
Poulsen, owner of the property,
refused to sell the land to the
state and submitted some count
er proposals.
Committee President Prentis
C. Hale said that the land was
essential for staging the games
and "without it, we're dead."
Brundage then sent a tele
gram to Hale which concluded:
"I have complete confidence
that the California State Legis
lature will give us the tools
with which to complete the job
of preparing for the 1960 winter
Olvmpic Games, Hale said.
Brundage has been one of
Squaw Valley's strongest critics.

Bums Due in LA
Maybe Next Year
Los Angeles (U.PJ Mayor
Norris Poulson predicted Satur
day that the Brooklyn Dodgers
would move to Los Angeles soon
possibly next year.
Indicating that provision of a
stadium and certain other nec
essities was all that stood in the
way, Poulson said that negoti
ations with O'Malley had pro
gressed to the point "that with
any consummation the Dodgers
would have to come out and play
in temporary quarters next year
for the simple reason they'll fail
to draw crowds at Brooklyn if it
is known they're going to move."
Ball Official Claims
Game 'Big Business'
Washington (U.R) An official
of the Washington Baseball club
said Saturday that baseball is
a business the Supreme Court
notwithstanding and Congress
should so declare it.
"And it's Big Business," C.
Leo DeOrsey, said in a United
Press interview in which he pro
posed a drastic overhaul of the
present baseball system to coun
ter congressional monopoly
charges.
DeOrsey. newest member of

Tornado Roster Cut to 10
For State Tourney Jaunt
A 10-man squad, which will
represent Medford high in the
Oregon Class A-l basketball
tournament at Eugene, drilled
yesterday afternoon in what was
to be the Black Tornado's last
"tough" workout before heading
to the Willamette valley city.
Medford opens Wednesday
night against Eugene high.
Coach Frank Roelandt report
ed that the Tornado crew will
leave between 8:30 and 9 a.m.
Tuesday for Eugene and will
practice at 2:45 p.m. that day
at McArthur court.
Only the 10 hoopsters who'll
be on the tourney roster are
now with the squad. The cagers
are Dick Copple, Dick McLaugh
lin, Neil Plumly, Larry Perk
ins, Dick Puhl, Tom Hamlin,
Larry Slessler, Bilbee Lane, Don
Bowling and Don Peek.

Boston Athlete
Leaves Fiance
Vienna U.R) Boston athlete
Harold Connolly reluctantly left
his Olympic sweetheart behind
in Czechoslovakia Saturday. But
he pledged "I am not going back
to the States without her."
Time ran out on Connolly's
romance in Prague with Czech
Olympic star Olga Fikotova
whom he met in Melbourne. His
visa expired and he had to fly
to Vienna today.
"I have applied for a Polish
visa, and they promised to give
it to me. If I get it I will leave
for Poland within five days,"
Connolly said.
"I also intend to apply for a
new 'czech visa, and will con
tinue the fight until I succeed,"
he added.

Sunday, March 10, 1957
al leagues be replaced by a sin
gle league of 16 teams with an
eastern and western division
comprised of eight teams each.
He said this would meet one of
the chief criticisms that the
present setup is monopolistic
and would pave the way for
Los Angeles and San Francisco
to become Major League cities.
2 A limit be placed on the
number of farm teams and farm
players a Major League club
can have because "The greatest
monopoly in baseball is the farm
system." DeOrsey said in this
way, Big League baseball could
"stop some of the New York
Yankees dominance by limiting
the number of players they can
have."
3 Revise the controversial
reserve clause because "you are
going to arrive at a situation
where you can't hold on to your
ball player forever." -He sug
gested an "option clause" type
contract under which a club
could hold on to a player for a
"certain term of usefulness
say under 10 years for so much
for one year with an option
for other years."
Disagrees With Supreme Court
DeOrsey, noted Washington
tax lawyer who represents Ar
thur Godfrey and other notables,
said he disagrees with "the con
clusion reached by the Supreme
Court that there's a difference
between football and baseball."
"I disagree with the idea that
baseball is a hobby," he said.
"I think it is a business, and a
big business. My vote as a mem
ber of the Washington club's
board of directors will be cast
along business lines; not hobby
lines."
The Supreme Court ruled Feb.
25 that football is a business and
subject to the anti-trust laws.
In 1922 the tribunal held that
baseball is a sport and not sub
ject to the laws. The baseball
ruling has gone undisturbed
since. But the court, in its foot
ball ruling, invited Congress to
take a close look at baseball's
exempt status. It said then that
the "orderly way to eliminate
error or discrimination, if any
there be, is by legislation and
not by court decision."
The Axemen have compiled a
record of 18 victories and four
