Newspaper Page Text0 9 3 port oscai pialsy Parade jSSSr sr?;i,er fy7P Uite4 Pres New York (ffl -O Archie Moore, the Old Man River of the ring, is bouncing around the country today picking up soft touches in a campaign aimed at wiping out the remainder of his light heavyweight challengers and getting another shot at heavyweight king Floyd Pat terson. Archie, according to the rec ord book, will b$ 41 in Decem ber. There areiose who con ider(is to be not only a strain of credaiity but also the under statemem of the century. Yet Archie has no thought of calling it a career and, accord ing to manger Charley Johnston, seems likely to go on fighting until he is 60. Not Expecting Too Much "Considering the type of fighters we have around and about today," Johnston analyzes, "that should not be expecting too muchQfrom a fellow of Archie's talent." Meanwhile, it can be reveal ed that Archie is not the poor house case which, when he was seeking a shot at Patterson, he was supposed to be. Thatpose was all a matter of economics. O Code Might Be Relaxed At San Jose San Jose, Calif. (TP) Presi dent John T. Wahlquist of San Jose State college says his school is "examining the possibilities" of easing its athletic code Wahlquist made this state ment Thursday in the face of a demand by a local citizens com mittee for the Spartans to adopt a looser code of aid to athletes if they are to continue scheduling such comparatively big time powers as Stanford, Washington State, Oregon and College of the Pacific. San Jose State has lost five of seven games this season and isn't expected to have much of U a chance tonight when it plays COP here in a homecoming game. , "I have been mating with the faculty where we discussed getting permission of the Coun cil of State College Presidents to ease up on some restriction," Wahlquist said. "At the same time, we would like to join the Pacific Coast mference but we have to be invited. A Little Wearing rr "I admit that one of the rules which forbids training tables can I a little wearing, Wahlquist said. "But we are gentlemen of our word." Asked if it were not incon sistent for San Jose State to be O Qdhering to such strict rules while playing schools with a more liberal policy, Wahlquist Osaid: ' "Well, some of those games were scheduled as a result of pressure by th) same group which now wants us to abandon the council's athletic code. "The rules mus be adhered to but we are seeding to have them liberalized." W "When we were tfter a title shot at Joey Maxim, when he held the light heavyweight cnampionshlp," Johnston re vealed, "they made us du4 ud a $5100,000 guarantee. Every time vou try to get a shot at some body who holds the upper hand, ; ou ve got to pay through the nostrils. Now, if I may sav so the shoes are on other feet meaning ours." So ancient Archie demanded, and received, a $100,000 guaran tee wnen he recently risked his bauble against Tony Anthony. Archie, as yfu 11 remember, Kept his clouting collateral by fetching young Master Anthony a good night swat on his glass chin. Anthony had earned the dubious pleasure of box-fighting Archie for the title hv heating fChuck Spieser of Detroit. But come the latter part of January, Archjp is going to give Spieser a shot at the silverware. This is not being done out of sheer benevolence. Price Set High The price, as for Anthony, is a 5100,000 guarantee. But you can't say that Archie's mouthpice, Johnston, isn't helping to make it look like a solid go. "Spieser has a lot ot ability,'" Charley insisted. "He didn't want to fight Anthony, wanting instead to merely wait his turn a3 Moore, and so he wasn't in shape for that bout. He should be formidable." So formidable, in fact, that Johnston is looking toward the time when Patterson will be forced to invite Archie for a re turn engagement. "Eddie Machen is the only one left for Patterson to box," Johns- hton explained. "Archie, . of course, has knocked over just about all the other heavy weights around. After all, Moore has fought heavyweights 75 per cent of the time in the last 15 years. The light heavies didn't want anything to do with him. So eventually they'll have to come to us again." If this seems to destroy Johns ton's early pitch on the Spieser fight, you're right. But, as the man explained, you can't ex pect too much these days for a mere $100,000. HOCKEY NATIONAL LEAGUE By UNITED PRESS The Montreal Canadiens moved back into a tie with the New York Rangers for first place in the National Hockey league today, while ageless Mau rice Richard pulled ahead in the individual scoring race. Richard scored one goal and assisted on two tallies by his younger brother, Henri, Thurs day night as the Canadiens whipped the Detroit Red Wings, 6-0. The Rocket now has 22 points, one more than Henri. Two goals by Billy Harris car ried the Toronto Maple Leafs to a 5-3 victory over the Boston Bruins. Bronco Horvath also scored twice for the Bruins, who suffered their seventh loss in their last eight games. Baseballers Come To No Conclusions New York (W Representa tives of the Giants, Dodgers, Pa cific Coast League, American As sociation and Texas League will meet again here next Tuesday in another effort to solve the re alignment problems caused by the shift of the two major league clubs to California. Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick presided Thursday at a four-hour secret meeting of all concerned in the franchise shifts, and then in a statement to newsmen said that "no conclu sions were reached and no defi nite action taken." Frick's statement did not mention the cash indemnities to be paid by the Dodgers and Gi ants to the Pacific Coast League It had been believed that this was perhaps the major problem, for it was reported the major leaguers had offered only $50, 000 each, a sum which PCL Pres ident Leslie O'Connor said was "humiliating." Some PCL own ers mentioned million-dollar in demnities, and hinted civil court action. The presence of George Traut man, president of the minor leagues, President Ed Doherty of the American Association and President Dick Butler of the Texas League indicated that the conferees realize that realign ment of the PCL almost certain ly will involve cities now other leagues. in OSC Admits Pilfering of O at Eugene Corvallis (IP) Oregon State admitted today it had pilfered the giant "O" of the University of Oregon from Skinner's Butte in Eugene. Charles Dunn, OSC student body president, made the admis sion in a challenge to the Uni versity to put up the "O" as a trophy for the winner of the annual Oregon - Oregon State football game. Otherwise, hinted Dunn, the big "O" might remain where it is hidden. Not Too Happy James Lynch, Oregon student body president, wasn't too happy with the suggestion, saying "per haps OSC should also make the homecoming court a revolving trophy." Last Friday, after the disap pearance of the "O," the OSC Homecoming queen and two princesses also disappeared. It turned out later four University of Oregon lettermen had "kid naped" them. But the girls were returned to OSC in time for the rally that night. Oregon's "O" is still missing. Lynch said he would confer with student leaders to determ ine what action should be taken. o G O O o o o Barker's Break for the I BOW's Special arrangements have been made to let BOW's wear it NOW and not be billed until JANUARY! They'll find Samuel Martins, Alpagoras and Alligators from $34.75 to $95 Any BOW with approved credit can now be tremendous. Speedboat Record Set Lake Coniston, Eng. (TO Donald Campbell, who set a new water speed record of 239.065 miles per hour Thursday aboard his jet-powered Bluebird, began preparations today for an ex pected assault against the 290 m.p.h. barrier sometime next year. Bluebird, powered with a 4,000 pound thrust engine, skim med a measured one-kilometer (0.621 miles) course at 260.107 m.p.h. in the first part of the record-breaking run Thursday. Because the boat's nose got dan gerously light at that speed, Campbell slowed down to 218. 024 h.p.h. on the runback. The two-way average wiped out the former mark, also set by Campbell, of 225.63 over the same lake on Sept. 19, 1956. DROPPED TO BEST DAD Detroit (IP) Three and one-half-year old Carrie Ane, daughter of Detroit Lions tackle Charlie Ane, changed her mind about her father after the Lions dropped two straight games in the National Football' League this season. "She used to call me the 'greatest football player in the world but changed it to 'the best daddy in the world' " after we lost to San Francisco and Los Angeles," Ane commented. The State Fair of Texas at Dallas is the largest annual ex position in Texas in terms of attendance. j r jji iTj 3 A-Ms j ii mj - - Duck Victory Would Virtually Ginch Bowl San Francisco (IP) Oregon's high-balling Ducks were a 12 pomt favorite today to knock off Washington Saturday at Port land's Multnomah stadium and virtually cinch their first Rose Bowl bid in 37 years. While the Webfoots and Huskies tangle in a regionally televised game, Washington State will make a desperate attempt to stay on the pace as it plays UCLA at Spokane. The Cougars go into the tilt two full games behind Oregon in the small field of Rose Bowl eligibles and also are underdogs to a surprisingly sharp UCLA squad. It's Stanford at Southern Cali fornia in a battle of the beaten. Oregon State is at Califonia in another PCC tilt that only will be carried out for the spirit of the thing. Both Cal and Stan ford are hopelessly behind in the Rose Bowl race and neither Southern California nor Oregon State could go even if they were winners. The Trojans are banned from the saucer along with Washington and UCLA for PCC infractions while Oregon State can't return because it was there last January. San Jose State, which has the alumni howling over a dismal showing this year, is expected to drop another before the old grads' homecoming Saturday night in the prune belt. Idaho is at Utah State in an other clash involving a PCC team while Fresno State, also getting its lumps, hosts Brigham Young. Red Raiders Take On Ramblers Saturday Ashland Southern Oregon college footballers face a light workout this evening as they do the final girding for the last home game of the season at Ful ler field. The Red Raiders of the Rogue are hosts to the Seattle Ramb lers at 8 p.m. Saturday. Made up of ex-collegiate and ex-prep stars, the Ramblers come to Ashland unbeaten and are favored to trim the Raiders. The Seattle club holds a one sided win over Oregon College of Education which Southern Oregon managed to nose 21 to 19.

A victory would give Ore gon at least a tie for the PCC title and would practically sew up the Ducks' first Rose Bowl bid since 1919, since Oregon has beaten the other three bowl eligible teams. Oregon has been the surprise team of the conference this sea son. The Ducks were picked by many to finish as low as seventh place. But sophomores have helped fill the gap and Oregon's first unit has had a remarkable season. Oregon has specialized in winning the close ones and not even the most zealous Duck fans expects a walkaway against Washington. The Huskies have won only one game, from Ore gon State, and have lost five and tied one. But the potential is there and in fullback Jimmy Jones, the Huskies have a guy they're touting for all-America A crowd of 30,000 or more is expected despite the telecast.

L. Clark, former president of the Rose City Transit Com pany. Clark told the Oregon Build ing Congress that such a levy would raise $200,000 a year to buy modern air-conditioned buses for express runs to the suburbs. He said the city could buy the buses and lease them to the operating company. Use M-T Classified Ads Moofov Celebrate In Outer Moifgolia Tokyo (IP) V. M.
