PCLOemandi Solons Complain Ur Pressure to w Quit '58 League Sacramento TP The Pacif ic Coast league Is demanding 25 cents per admissionfor a 10 year period from tKg) Los Attg eles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants in exchange for surrend ering franchises in the two cities the Sacramento Bee said Satur day. Bee sportswriter Tom Kane quoted an "informed source" in regard to the 25-cent figure from the newly-located ball clubs. Kane said "this source also disclosed te Giants have pro posed 10 cents per admission for a three-year period and have promised to bear the expenses involved in realignment of the Pacific Coast league." Kane's statements me on the second day of a PCL meeting here, during which no team rep resentative would mention the indemnities being offered or re quested. Another point divulged by Kane's "source" was that "one of the cities being considered in realignment already holds a Triple A franchise." Both Den ver and Minneapolis of the Am erican association have been mentioned in connection with the shift. Kane said "there is every in dication the negotiations were developing into a bitter bale which even could involve court action." Sacramento HP) President Fred David of the Pacific Coast league's Sacramento Solons said Saturday some loop, directors were pressuring the Team to dis continue operations. "We havr resisted pressure during the last few days from various sources which want us to discontinue operations in 1958," David said. "With the Giants so close in San Francisco we naturally feel apprehensive about the future," he continued, "but right now our aim is to stay in baseball and we'll fight to the last ditch to do it." David, in reply to reports pres sure was being put en his club to pull out of the PCL, said "whether we operate next year depends on a lot of things." He emphasized that "we face a pos sible loss in revenue as a result of the Giant's invasion . . . (and) we want proper and just com pensation through the invasion of the New York Giants into our territory." o , ,G One-Eyed Back Rates Passers As 'Improved' Green Bay, iWs. OP) One eyed Bobby Dillion, the Green Bay Packers' ace defensive back, today blamed "better pass ing" for the fact that he's re turned five interceptions only one y(&rd. Last year, one-eyed Bobby returned seven for 244 yards to lead the National Football League. q q "I haven't been as lucky this year. The passers have been too sharp. Every pass that I've in tercepted there's been one or two men right on the spot to nab me," he said. DO TOUR BRAKES GRAB OR SQUEAL . . . DO THEY PULL TO LEFT OR RIGHT . . .

OP) Oregon Pasadena-bound wagon train fought its way through the In dian country Saturday, defeat ing Stanford 27-26 and virtually clearing the road to the Rose boyl. In one of the cleanest flayed games witnessed at Stanford stadium, the Oregonians staved off an attack within nine yards of the goal line to preserve their one-point margin with less than 10 seconds remaining in the game. It appeared that Stanford would at least send the 56,000 fans here home from a tie game When with but three minutes re a successful conversion to knot maining the Indians needed only the score at 27-all. However, Al Harrington's toe failed him for Matches for Title Plans Under Way On 2 Bout Fronts New York (TP) Negotiations were started on at least tw fronts today to stage matches in the six-man tournament for the vacant welterweight crown.

The win kept Oregon unde feated in conference play and gave the Ducks wins over the only other teams in the Pacific Coast conference that are el igible for the Rose bowl. The Webfoots have three more con ference games to play. Crabtree scored twice himself on sneaks. Morris raced through the red-shirted line eight yards for another score and Halfback Jim Shanley scored the other tally on a nine-yarder through tackle. Jack Douglas, mixing his plays, directed the Indian attack throughout the game. He put Stanford on the scoreboard in the first quarter with perhaps the most sensational play of the day when he flipped a 40-yard pass to Jeri McMillin. McMillin raced another 40 yards for the tally, a play good for 73 yards from the line of scrimmage. Stanford went ahead 13-7 in the second quarter when Half back Chuck Shea, leaping high in the air, pulled down a Doug las pass intended for Joel Freis who was clear in the end zone. Shea fell into the end zone. Oregon, after drawing scoring blood on its first drive, came back with only eight seconds remaining in the half to go ahead 14-13 when Crabtree made his first touchdown from the one-yard-line. There was little to choose from the two offensive units. Both Crabtree and Douglas ran similar attacks, punching out short gainers on and crossing up the opposition with period pass es. The teams traded touchdowns in the third quarter and Oregon appeared to have it sewed up in the fourth when the Ducks went 61 yards on eight plays to make the score 27-20. Morris, who had scored on an off-tackle play from the one.missed the extra point. This opened the door for Stanford to grab at least a tie, but Harrington, with the par tisan crowd screaming its sup port, kicked wide as he did on the Indian's forst touchdown.

'I just go up and hit the ball." , Willie said he didn't even know what he was battingDfor his barnstorming team which openS a two game series here tonight with g 14-T record.

The scrap wound up "he season for the Jackson Pirates. A firedQlp IV aggregation dom inated most of the first half and took a 13 to 0 command. For the second half the Pirates adjusted their blocking again the Coug ar defense. They. then put forth their best offensive of the season with Fred Faytinger? Gary Sim monds and Dennis James driving and slashing on their runs. James, directing the offense from fullback, made good calls m crucial spots. The Phoenix club tied up tbe fuss in the third quarter. In the fourth they went on top 20 to 13 only to have IV deadlock the game again. T6 Pirates took advantage of a Cougar fumble for their fourth touchdown and Don Wallace kicked his third conversion which proved the margin of tri umph. Grant Dickey traveled eight yards and Dan Slanaker sneak ed one for the first half fhinois Valley scores. Ray Woodbury kicked the extra after the second TD. Phoenix tying touchdowns were on 17 and 22-yard runs by Faytinger. Phoenix went in fr,ont on a pass from Simmonds to Dan Lumley, a freshman in for his only play of the game. ' It was good for 35 yards. Illinois Valley retaliated on the kick-off which Slanaker ran back 80-yards to score. Slanaker heaved to Mike Whitley for the extra. The IV fumble which "Phoenix turned into victory was on the 12-yard line and Simmonds scor ed from there. Final Cougar TD was on a 65-yard romp. The at tempt to run the bonus was short. To bounce back" Phoenix used inside quick hitting plays off the T formation with Jim Heath handling the ball well and sweeps and reverses of the single wing. Jim Waldron, Jack Rinn, Mike Campbell and Dale Haggard were credited with fine blocking and Stan Zwan, Fay tinger, Wallace, James, Ron Daugherty and Jim Waldron with spurring the defense. IV winds up its season next Friday, as host to Eagle Point pends on the pitchin." However, he trained his eyes on a centerfield scoreboard which ranges between 404-410 feet from home plate and said "I might get a few shots up there." "Most of my power is to left center and that often is just a little better." But the Polo Grounds remains his favorite spot for a fielder. It wi's there that he could run miles back in quest of long flys which will hit the fence in the Seals park. "The Polo Grounds was a good park, for me to field in but hard toit in," Willie concluded. Mays hit .333 last year while clouting 35 home runs, 20 trip les and 26 doubles. One reporter asked him if he had gone after many bad balls at the latter part of the season trying to win t batting cham pionship from Stan Musial. "If I can hit over .330 I'm not going after bad balls," Willie l&ghed. o FOOTBALL w"- w.in.

Princeton Coach Dies Friday Eve After Short Illness Princetone, N.J. (IP) The men who played for him and those that coached rival teams reparded the death of Princeton football coach Charlie Caldwell as a great loss both to the uni versity and to the sport. Lou Little, who matched wits with Caldwell for many years until he retired as head coach at Columbia this year, hailed Caldwell as "a very aggressive and clean-cut coach" who "was just in his prime" when he died of cancer Friday at the age of 56.

Regarded as a disciple of foot ball's single wing offense, Cald well coached for 17 years at Williams College before taking over at head coach at Prince ton his alma mater in 1945. His Princeton teams were held scoreless only three times and were unbeaten and untied in 1950 and 1951. Daily's U-Orive Medford Airport Iff I 0 Q 214 S. Riverside Ph. SP 2-7119 o O o o G 0 o UL
