By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer New York HP President Horace Stoneham of the New York Giants formally notified Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick today of his intention of shifting his club to San Fran cisco. National league club owners gathered for a meeting at which President Walter O'Malley of the Brooklyn Dodgers was ex pected to ask for an extension of time for filing his notice of intent to transfer his team to Los Angeles. Stoneham's formal notifica tion was announced by Frick's office a half hour before the National league owners were scheduled to start their meet ing. "Mr. Horace Stoneham, on be half of the National Exhibition Co., (the Giants) today filed with the commissioner of base ball his notice of intent to ac quire the San Francisco terri tory for the purpose of operat ing a National league club therein," Frick said. "Following the rules of base ball, Mr. Stoneham's communi cation has today been transmit ted to the president of the Pac ific Coast league Leslie O'Con nor, the president of the San Francisco Baseball club Jerry Donovan, the president of the National league Warren Giles nd the president of the Ameri can league Will Harridge," the statement concluded. Oct. 1 was the date establish It'sS Attorney General Rules PCC Memberships Legal San Francisco (W Attorney General Edmund G. Brown ruled Monday that membership in the Pacific Coast conference by USC, Stanford, California and UCLA is legal. The issue had been raised by Assemblyman Frank Bonelli (D Huntington Park) at a hearing in Los Angeles last week. Bon elli had questioned the right of tax-supported schools, such as UCLA and Cal., of tax exempt institutions, such as Stanford and USC, to pay fines to the FCC for rules violations. Brown said that the "system of operating intercolegiate ath letic teams at the University of California and UCLA is a rea sonable exercise of power by Davidson, Gibson Gain Net Crowns in Pacific Contest By SCOTT BAILLIE United Press Sports Writer Berkeley, Calif. (IP Swe den's Sven Davidson blasted his way to the Pacific Coast men's singles tennis title Monday by overpowering Vic Seixas of Phil adelphia, 7-5, 0-6, 6-1, 6-4. In the women's department, Harlem's Althea Gibson contin ued her winning skein- by pol ishing off Louise Brough of Beverly Hills in less than an hour, 6-4, 6-3, to take the wom en's singles crown. Davidson had little trouble with Seixas' wide assortment of cuts and spinners after the sec ond set, either retrieving them or straightening them out with powerful passing shots. The angular Swedish Davis Cupper won the opening set of hour and 20-minute match, 7-5, took it early as Seixas white washed him, 6-0, then roared back to take the final two sets, 6-1. 6-4.

Permission for both the Giants and Dodgers to transfer to California was given last May 28 by the National league. A club wishing to draft the territory of a minor league city must do so between Oct. 1 and Oct. 31, according to baseball law. But the Dodgers were hung up on a legal technicality fail ure of the Los Angeles City coun cil to approve plans for a new Dodger home in that city. A stormy council meeting in Los Angeles Monday night ended with opponents of the plan still blocking the unanimous vote needed for quick approval. O'Malley goes into today's league meeting, however, arm ed with "definite" assurance from Los Angeles Mayor Norris Poulson that the council will approve the ball park next Mon day. Under Los Angeles rules, only 10 of the 15 councilmen are needed to pass the bill sit that time and Poulson told O'Malley in a telegram early today that the 10 votes are lined up "with out the slightest doubt." Although there were reports that one or two league owners are opposed to granting O'Mal ley any more time, indications were that Poulson's assurance would get O'Malley an exten sion. The Giants, on the other hand, seemed all set to announce their San Francisco plans. San Francisco's Board of Su pervisors cleared the way Mon day night when they voted ap proval of a rough draft of the contract to be offered the Giants, thus beating a midnight deadline. the Beard of regents and the university president." "There is no express or im plied language in the constitu tion regarding these tax exemp tions which would in any way preclude these universities from the relationship which they have established with the PCC and other member institutions there in," the opinion said. "It is also clear that the legislature could not condition in any way the granting of these tax exemp tions since they are granted by the constitution." In brief, the ruling held that the "fines,, penalties and for feitures are paid from student association funds and not from tax appropriations." Bob Howe of Australia won the men's doubles, defeating Davidson and Luis Ayala of Chile in a marathan match, 4-6, 22-20, 6-3. The women's doubles champ ionship went to Seattle's Janet Hopps and Australia's Mary Hawton as they rallied to defeat Miss Brough and Barbara Sco field Davidson of Milwaukee, 3-6, 6-4, 6-2.

The Big Ten took it on the chin in intersectional and out of conference games for the first time in long while, and three of the five major upsets featured western conference teams. UCLA started it on Friday night, knocking off Illinois. Stanford and Texas Christian kept up the pressure by hammering North western and Ohio State. Then in an old fashioned statewide rival ry Notre Dame started off the season in grand style by shutting out Purdue. In the one conference game played, Michigan State showed undoubted power in overwhelm ing Indiana. The Spartans have speed, class and depth. On the right side of the ledger for the Big Ten were Iowa's win over Utah State, Minnesota's triumph over Washington, and Michi gan's win over Southern Cali fornia. Wisconsin also messed up Marquette in the other game involving teams from that con ference. Army Shows Class In the Ivy league, Princeton and Brown were supposed to be the teams to beat. Brown met defeat when a very well drilled and well handled Columbia eleven came up with a field goal, something seldom used by the collegians. The Tigers had a rough time with Rutgers, and were lucky to eke out a narrow victory. Steve Sebo has a much improved team at Penn. Penn gave the Nittany Lions a battle, and the Ivy league could pro vide a lot better competition than expected. Army could be the class of the Northeast, the Cadets showed plenty against Nebraska and didn't go all out. We'll know more about the Ca dets after their game with Penn State next Saturday. Navy kept rollin; they'll hit Notre Dame unbeaten. In the Southeast Duke still appears to be tops. You'lll have to pay a lot of atttention to North Caro lina State. The win over North Carolina was considered just so and so, but State really creamed Maryland. Auburn's win over Tennessee boosted the stock of the Tigers considerably and it will be up to either Kentucky or Georgia Tech to take them off the top rung. Georgia Tech lost caste with the SMU tie, but the bad weather contributed to that. Oregon State Shines Oklahoma was idle. And Ore gon State, the best in the West, handed Kansas, not too bad an eleven, a real tossing around. From" what we can See they'll stay in front out there. Stanford and UCLA appears to be next in line. In the Southwest, there is op timism from the standpoint of competition both within the con ference and in intersectional tilts. TCU and SMU were both orld us. w Giants; improved. Arkansas went well against Tulso, Baylor topped a strong Houston team, and Texas was rolling as it shut out Texas Tech. Now for the professionals. Five of the six opening games saw the favorites bite the dust, including the champions in both divisions, the New York Giants and Chicago Bears. The other choices to fall were the Detroit Lions, Washington Redskins and the San Francisco Forty-Niners. Now the stock of the Browns, Packers, Colts and Cardinals has taken a boost. But it could be reduced next week end without too much trouble.
