o o Phoenix, Spokane, Salt Lake Become New PCL Franchises Qrolorado Springs. Colo. OP Here's what the Pacific Coast League gets in its nc,w franchise shift in exchange for the Holly wood. Los Angeles and San Francisco franchises: Phoenix, Ariz. A city with a 500,000 population within a 25 mile radius of the center. There is a ball park that will be en larged for the 1953 campaign. In 1959 they expect to have a park seating 15,000. Phoenix never before has competed in baseball above Class C and the largest attendance was ftie 1952 season when the club attracted 134,000. Spokane, Wash. Out of base ball the past year, this was one of the great baseball cities of the nation just a few seasons ago. Competing in the Class B Northwestern League in the late 1940s, this club consistently drew more than 200,000 and one season set a Class B record that still stands at 287,000. The trade area population isibout 300,000. Has notftifig except the site in the way of a ball park right now, but the city and county will help finance a new one. Salt Lake City, Utah For the past 12 years one of the finest Class C cities in the country. A trade area of about 500,000. Playing in Pioneer League the club drew a high of 213,000 in one year. Has ball park seating 6,500 that will be enlarged: Salt Lake City was in the Pacific Coast League from 1925 to 1935, and drew well then, although it never won a pennant. It was dropped from the PCL because of transportation difficulties in the days before the airplane became the accepted mode of travel. Colorado Springs, Colo. OP! The minor leagues finally reached agreement with the ma jors on franchise shifts and in demnities in the wake of year long negotiations that extended from coast to coast. Following discussions at the annual majorminor conventions these agreements were reached. The Brooklyn Dodgers were accepted in Los Angeles and the New York Giants in San Fran cisco, taking over Pacific Coast League franchises. The Pacific Coast League an nounced it would take over Spo kane, Wash., Salt Lake City, Utah, and Phoenix, Ariz., to dis place Los Angeles, Hollywood and San Francisco in the PCL. The Class C Pioneer League, losing Salt Lake City, will oper ate next year again either as a six or eight team league. And the Class A Arizona-Mexico League will continue without Phoenix, with a replacement to be chosen later. Executives, of the PCL report ed that they were happy with the new alignment and the in demnities offered by the major leagues for taking over their territories in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Leslie O'Connor, president of the PCL, wouldn't announce what the indemnities will be, but the belief is that they will run between S750.000 and one million dollars. They will be paid over a period of three years. The PCL, in turn, will have to pay indemnities to the Pio neer and Arizona-Mexico League for taking Salt Lake City and Phoenix. North, South Continue War Over Round-Robin Contests in Cal. Meet By SCOTT BAILLIE San Francisco OP) Faculty representatives and athletic di rectors of the beleagued Pacific Coast conference resumed their struggle Tuesday over a move to abandon the round robin schedule which could leave the Northwest members out in left field. After six hours of closed door debate Monday, spokesman Glenn Seaborg told the press that his only announcement was that some parts of a California UCLA five-point program had been voted upon. He would not disclose what points were in- volved nor the result. Q Number five in the statement of principles which the sister schools adopted last June calls for free scheduling of opponents starting next season despite a PCC round robin slate which has been drawn up through 1960. SC Has Own Program Wtn they finish with that battle, they have to dip into an eight-point program adopted by Southern California, which was heavily penalized during the spring of 1956 with the Bruins and Washington for violating the conference code. The Trojans' initial point is that next fall's seniors, who now are barred from playing any more "football as a result of the disclosures, be allowed to play in half their games as wa? the case in 1956. 0 Similar amnesty for the sea sonjust over was voted down last-May with Stanford, Oregon, Washington State, Oregon State and Idaho casting the negative votes. South Threatens Secession Even before then, there had been a storm in the Los Angeles area for UCLA and Southern California to bolt the PCC and go tfeeir own way. The North west schools, aside from cWash-1 ington, join Stanford in support- j ing the round robin. UCLA now has 11 seniors fac-'' . i Taylor, Funsron YMCA Winntrt j Brian Taylor and Alfred Fun- ; ston were outstanding perform- ! ers last week end in tournaments and contests at the Medford YMCA.

SALAS TO MEET SCANLON San Francisco 'W Former world lightweight champion j Lauro Salas has signed to meet PrtKKv Qftnlnn - n a 1 fl-f-m 1 nH i bout at the Civic Auditorium, Dec. 19. Salas won the title from Jimmy Carter in 1952 and list it back to him three months later. ing disbarment next season and the Trojans five. The principal Bruin stars include end Dick Wallen, who made the UP Ail- American second team; tackle Bill Leeka and backs Don Long and Barry Billington. Halfbacks Rex Johnstone and Jim Conroy are among the Trojans also "fin ished" as of now. Seaborg did allow that "there has been some room for com promise" in discussing the Cal UCLA doctrine, which does not include lessening penalties, but indicated not very much. Parts of it overlap Southern California's and include require ments for better grades, tuition grants in aid based on need, the same campus pay scale for all students and more self-enforcement. Hawk Skeet Shoot Victor Don Hawk won two Medford Gun club skeet titles and Martin Clogston the other Sunday. Hawk broke 98 out of 100 birds in the open event and and 43 of 50 in the 410 gauge shoot ing. Clogston had 48 out of 50 in 20 gauge.

SPORTS Portland Pilots List Lettermen, Hopes for Season Editor's note: This is another in a series on the outlook of West Coast basketball teams for the coming season. By HOWARD APPLEGATE Portland (IP) The University of Portland embarks on another ambitious basketball schedule this season and Coach Al Negrat ti's Pilots have a wealth of mate rial with which to make another effort for recognition as a top court power. Portland, which doesn't play in a conference, had a season's record of 18 wins and 12 losses in 1956-57. The Pilots played in the NAIA tournament at Kansas City and lost to the eventual champ, Tennessee State. The Pi lots also tangled unsuccessfully with such powers at Bradley, Seattle, Notre Dame and De Paul but they defeated Oregon State of the PCC. 18 Lettermen Negratti has eight lettermen returning, plus some promising freshmen, to meet another rugged schedule which includes Utah State, Oregon State Brig ham Young, Seattle, De Paul and Bradley. Biggest problem at Portland in the past has been lack of height. This season the Pilots are eyeing Ray Scotf, a 6-9 freshman center from Philadel phia who may eventually solve that problem. Scott comes west as one of the highest touted prep players in years from the city of brotherly love. However, a technicality prevents him from playing until the end of January. Another outstanding vearline is Jim Altenhofen of Portland. Altenhofen. 6-5. was named to one All-America high school team last season. Strong in Back Court Three fine guards sive the Pilots one of the strongest back court units on the coast. They are Wally Panel and Jim Armstrong from Chicago and Dick Jolley of Portland. Armstrong and Jol ley also can play forward. All three are juniors. Other juniors on -the team in clude Red Bloedel, a rugged, 6-4 forward; John Westerman, a 6-8 center, Frank Rector, a dead-eye set shot artist, and Art Bull, the leading scorer on the junior var sity last season. Bill Zapp, a 6-4 senior and last season's leading rebounder, and two other seniors guard Larry Larsen and forward Art Chapman round out the squad. BEAVER TO PLAY IN SF Corvallis (IP) Tackle Dave Jesmer will play for the West in the annual Shrine game at San Francisco Dec. 28, Coach Tommy Prothro of Oregon State said today. IDAHO TOPS MONTANA ST. Moscow, Ida. (IP) Guard Gary Simmons scored 15 points Monday night to lead Idaho to a 64-56 basketball victory over Montana State university here.

He previously coached at Talent high. There are 22 boys at Butte Falls high in a student body of 39. 7 FOOTER SCORES 13 POINTS Spokane (W Gonzaga easily defeated College of Idaho; 71-37, as 7 foot 3 inch Jean Lefebrve of France made his college bas ketball debut Monday night by scoring 13 points.
