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-''

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.

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.

Sword Slayer Dies
On Prison Gallows
Walla Walla (IP) Samurai
sword slayer Harvey J. Collins
was hanged here early today for
the 1955 murder of an elderly
motel operator.
Collins walked to the gallows
quietly and without fuss, Bob
Rhay, warden of the state peni
tentiary, said.
"I hope I am forgiven for the
things I have done," said the 32-year-old
former Puyallup, Wash.,
dairy worker.
Collins was pronounced dead

Collins was convicted of the
murder of Andrew J. Stolen, a
