Editor'! note: Tnii 1 one of a se
rles on the outlook of West Coast
basketball teams for the coming
season.
By RUSS NIELSEN
Pullman. Wash. (IP) Wash
ington State's basketball team
probably won't be a contender
for the Pacific Coast Conference
title this year, but Coach Jack
Freil is shaping a well-balanced
club which could be trouble
some to the favorites.
Friel says the Cougars will
have more speed, improved
height inside and more experi
ence than last year but might be
a bit shorter on power.
All-Coast forward Larry Beck
Is gone and with him went the
Cougar scoring punch of the last
three seasons. But six lettermen
and some highly-regarded sopho
mores will provide a scoring
threat from almost any place on
the floor.
Lettermen Mert Kennedy, Jim
Ross and Dick Rask will fill the
guard positions. Kennedy and
Ross, who figure in the first unit
of a two-platoon system which
Friel apparently plans to use,
are expected to be consistent
scorers.
However, neither shot for a
very high percentage last year.
They will be backed by transfer
Jim Milnes and three sopho
mores. Bill Galbraith 6-6) and Dick
Axelson (6-3) figure as the for
wards in Friel's starting unit
with sophomore John Maras,
who stands 6-6 and tips the beam
at 210 pounds, at center.
Maras is a fine prospect and
deadly with he hook shot. He
will be backed by John Nielsen
6-10), another sophomore.
Washington State opens Dec.
3 at home to Montana. The Cou
gars lift the lid on the confer
ence cmpaign Jan. 3 when they
host Southern California.
Pullman, Wash. HP) A 30-63-4
career as Washington State Col
lege head basketball coach will
end at the close of this season
for Jack Friel who announced
today he intends to retire from
active coaching.
Friel, 59, began as head coach
of the Cougars in 1928 and has
been recognized as one of the na
tion's finest teachers of the
game. His teams have won 490
games in the 29-year-span, a rec
ord unmatched by any other Pa
cific Coast Conference coach.
In his retirement announce
ment, Friel said he thought 30
years' coaching was enough and
that it was about time for a
younger man to take over.
Friel said he would remain at
WSC as a teacher in the physical
education department in which
he holds an assistant professor
ship. By UNITED PRESS

Bold Ruler
Selected as
Year Horse
New York
Bold Ruler
was hailed as "horse of the
"year" today by the Morning
Telegraph and Daily Racing form
in the annual poll of staff mem
bers conducted by the racing
papers.
Thus the husky son of Nas
rulah, owned by the Wheatley
Stable and trained by veteran
James Fitzsimmons, failed to get
a majority of the 33 votes cast.
But the 16 in his favor was
enough to give him the title as
five other horses divided the
remaining 17 votes.
Nine of the others went to
Ralph Lowe's Gallant Man, who
was nosed out of the three-year-old
championship by Bold Rul
er by an even closed margin;
four to Mrs. Jan Burke's Dedi
cate; two to Mrs. Charles Ul
rich Bay's Idun, and one each
to Kerr Stable's Round Table
and E. Gay Drake's Swoon's Son.
Profhro Says
He Is Proud
Of Oregon 11
Portland (tP) Coach Tom
my Prothro of Oregon State
told an enthusiastic meeting of
Beaver football supporters Mon
day that he was proud of both
Oregon and Oregon State for the
game they played last Saturday
at Eugene.
He said he believed Oregon is
the kind of team that will rep
resent the PCC well in the Rose
Bowl. "They have a lot of
pride."
The 10-7 victory over Oregon
capped Prothro's best season in
his three years at Oregon State.
He pointed out that as de
fending champion other teams
were pointing for the Beavers,
but added, "that's something we
will meet forever if it's forced
on us."
Prothro said there were two
ways to judge a football season,
on conference results and on
the over-all season. "We tied Ore
gon for the PCC title and tied
UCLA for' the best season rec
ord. I guess that gives us half
and UCLA and Oregon each a
quarter," he added.

Dodgers to Take
Pay Cut for 1958
Los Angeles OP) Catcher
Roy Campanella and outfielder
Duke Snider took pay cuts in
signing their 1958 baseball con
tracts with the Los Angeles
Dodgers.
The two became the second
and third players to sign up
since the club made Los Angeles
its new home.
Dodger Vice President E. J.
(Buzzie) Bavasi said Campan
ella took a cut because of a "per
sonally disappointing" season
last year and that Snider re
ceived a "token cut."
Exact terms of the new con
tracts were not revealed, but
Bavasi indicated Snider would
receive around $42,000 a year
as the highest paid played with
the Dodgers, while Campanella
would receive in the neighbor
hood of $36,000.
I1 2-Pound Slug Can
Be Fired at Moon
Pasadena, Calif. (IF) Dr.
Fritz Zwicky, Cal Tech scientist
who originated the idea of firing
the first man-made meteors into
space, estimated today that a IV2
pound slug could be fired at the
moon in three months.
Zwicky, who said Saturday
such an experiment would have
particular value, made his esti
mate on the basis of $100,000 and
a crew being available for the
project.
No such undertaking was re
ported in the making at this
time.
He added that eventually the
technique could be used to rico
chet fragments of a slug back to
the earth from the moon.
The astrophysicist said the
slug together with a high explo
sive charge would be fired aloft
by an Aerobee rocket. At the
peak of the flight, the charge
would be detonated, shooting the
slug on a pre-determined course
to the moon.
Speeds of 40,000 miles an hour
were achieved by fragments
scattered by shaped charges
rocketed up 54 miles last Oct.
16, he said. Some of those par
ticles escaped the earth's gravity
and are moving around the sun,
Zwicky said.
"With the kind of speed we
can achieve, the slug would ei
ther create an explosion on im
pact with the moon or would
generate flashes of light as it
bounced from crag to crag," he
said.
The scientist said such colli
sions could be observed by tele
scope. Chenoweth Substation

against Roger Rischer. The light
heavyweight champ said he plan
ned to meet Chuck Speiser in
Detroit and then would like to
fight Eddie Machen.
"Then," he said, "there'll be
so much public demand that
they'll have to let me fight Pat
terson." Moore began workouts today
for a scheduled 10-round non
title fight next Friday night
against Roger Rischer of Oak
land, Calif., here.
Moore said that he planned to
go to Miami, Fla., from here
where a stablemate, Frankie
Daniels, has a bout lined up
sometime in December in Bra
zil. He said he planned only
one fight in South America.
Reports May Mean
Rocket Falling
Portland (IPI Robert Board
well of the Grout school moon
watch said here today that re
ports of a fireball from several
points in western Oregon could
mean that the rocket of Russia's
Sputnik I is nearing earth and
passed over Oregon in a blaze
of oxygen-fired flame.
Descriptions of a fireball
reached moonwatch headquart
ers from several points and most
of them were similar in detail.
Several calls came from Cor
vallis and the mid-Willamette
valley area where sightings gen
erally were pinpinted about 5:30
a.m.
Boardwell said the Sputnik
rocket had been over the North
west about 6 p.m. Monday and
that it could have passed this
region again early 'this morn
ing. Most persons who saw the
fireball said it had a tail and
was brighter than any meteor.
A Portlander said he saw the
object give off hundreds of
sparks in a celestial display that
lasted 7 or 8 seconds.

White Appointed
New Division Chief
Washington (IP) Appoint
ment of W. Wilson White as
chief of the new Civil Rights
division in the Justice Depart
ment today appeared headed for
sharp scrutiny in the Senate and
possibly a southern challenge.
White put possible foes on
notice by saying he intends to
be "very active" in prosecuting
for Negro voting rights.
White, a 51-year-old native of
Philadelphia, is a former law
partner of Rep. Hugh Scott (R
Pa.), one of the leaders of the
bipartisan civil rights bloc in
the House.
The Senate Judiciary commit
tee, which must pass on the
nomination, is headed by James
O. Eastland, (D-Miss.), a lead
ing opponent of the civil rights
law passed by Congress this
year.
White, an assistant attorney
general, helped draft the orders,
proclamations and other memor
anda issued by President Eisen
hower when he ordered federal
troops to enforce school integra
tion in Little Rock, Ark., in Sep
tember. The White House announced
his recess appointment Monday.
The nomination will be submit
ted for senate confirmation when
Congress reconvenes in Janu
ary.
In his new post, White will
take over the prosecution of all
civil rights cases, including the
Negro right-to-vote guarantees
included in the new civil rights
bill. The law also set up the new
division.
Neuberger Speaks at
Milwaukie Meeting
Milwaukie, Ore. (IP) Sen.
Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.)
told a dinner meeting of the Mil
waukie Lions club Monday night
that "the present hard-money
policy has added nearly 20 per
cent to the burden of taxpayers
in meeting costs of the federal
debt, and also underlies the eco
nomic adversity suffered by Ore
gon's leading industry."
The decline of Oregon's lum
ber industry and Tiigher interest
costs on the national debt were
cited by Neuberger as "two of
the major costs of attempting to
control inflation through manipu
lation of credit." Small business,
he said, bears the brunt of hard
money because it results in "con
traction of their credit pipe
lines." Neuberger declared interest
rates are the highest since the
"bank holiday of 1933," and that
the cost of living is the "highest
in our history."

Lawrence, Kan. (IP) Cau

he's asked "Jack Mitchell here

Lonborg said Mitchell would
probably arrive here Wednes

planned interviews. I've talked
with a lot of coaches in the past

on hiring a new coach, but I per
