o o o n TWELVft-JBrOID (OREGON) PG Loop Restores Partial For Penalized Senior Grid By Scott aillie United Pres Spori Writer San Francisco W The con troversial round robin will be all but extinct in the Pacific Coast conference after 1960 but the wrangling loop seemed des tined today to stay very much alive despite earlier cries for "secejon." That was the gist of Wednes day's parliamentary maneuver ing by the PCC's faculty repre sentatives who relented and granted certain inelegible seniors at UCLA, .Southern California and Washington permission to appear in any five consecutive games next season. It was a corbon copy of the ''amelioriation" decision of 1956 i - i : l . u tn wnicii seniors di uiuae mice schools and California who were penalized a season's eligi bility as a result of taking exces sive aid were broken down into "first fivers" and "second fivers." No such amnesty prevailed this season, q The oft-blasted seven - game round robin, which California, UCLA and USC had wanted to scrap, apparently will stay on the books through the 1960 sea sort. Then a team will be able to qualify for ihe Rose Bowl by meeting only five Conference foes. UCLA and Southern California both were beaten down in bids to restore complete eligiblity next season and abandon the round robbin as of 1961. The Bruins' motion for full eligibility lost 5-4 with the Bears, Bruins, Trojans and Washington on the losing side. Southern California's move for free scheduling was defeated, 6-3 with the Trojans joining Cali fornia and UCLA in the loser's camp. If a school wishes to drop an opponent before 1960, it has to petition at the current meeting and so far there has been nary Red Raiders Expect Tough Company in Lumberjacks q Ashland Humboldt State col lege will bring to Ashland a 0team of unknown caliber when it plays Southern Oregon college hoopmen Friday and Saturday O nights. But the Red Raiders are certain of one thing. They'll find the Lumberjacks tough as usual. Games are slated to start at 9 0p.m. both days with 7:15 p.m. preliminaries. The tangles are in the new Southern Oregon col lege physical education building and Saturday niht will see the O dedication of that structure. Possibl starter for the Red Raider of th Rogue are Norm Olivi and Dv D'Olivo, for ward. Bill Hollingsworth, center C'and Chuck Crfcndall and Jim McAbee utrd. Lineup for (Humboldt Ht unavailable to- O day Coach Ted Schopf has been priming the Raider offense to meet both zone and man-to-man defenses. His gang will be out to even the score for 61 to 56 and 54 to 53 aetbacks at the hands of the 'Jacks. Q Humboldt has been practicing cNavy In Bowl Fray on Promise New York OP) Capt. Slade Cutter, director of athletics at the U.S. Naval Academy, said to day that the Cotton Bowl meet ing with Rice next Jan. 1 "prob ably will be our last appearance in a post-season bowl for some time." Capt. Cutter said "special cir cumstances" caused Navy to ac cept bowl bids in 1954 and this year but pointed to a "long standing policy at the Academy not to participate in post-season games." He said such appear ances interfere with the heavy academic schedule at Annapolis. Capt. Cutter said he learned after assuming his duties last August that the Navy players had been promised they could go to a bowl game if they had a creditable record and beat Army this year. Navy complied with both conditions by compil ing an 8-8-1 record and beating Army, 14-0.

The session is scheduled to end today after slates for 1961 and 1962 have been drawn up. There was hardly any danc ing in the streets of Los Angeles after Wednesday's turn of events. Coach Don Clark of Southern California said, "this doesn't pacify me. How can anyone be for penalties against the play ers " Tackle Mike Henry of the Trojans, whose status has not been clarified, added, "my thoughts are not fit to print." No Comment by UCLA Athletic Director Jess Hill of Southern California merely grunted "it's helpful," while none of the Bruins would com ment. UCLA, California and South ern California went into the meeting anxious to junk the round robin and at least got it well battered after 1960. But so far, none of the schools have moved to cut the PCC opposi tion to six in 1958 and five in 1959 and '60 as was sanctioned at Tuesday's meeting. The restoration of partial eligi bility covers players who were on the 1955 freshman -teams and were involved in the disclosures. While the status of several grid ders remains unclear, these men are qualified to play in any five straight games next year: UCLA End Dick Wallen; tackle Bill Leeka; tackle Jim Dawson; center Dennis Dressel; quarterback Steve Gertsman; tailback Don Long; end John Pierovich; tackle Jim Wallace; guard Clint Whitfield: quarter back Bob Mackey; center Dick Butler. Southern California Half backs Tony Ortega and Rex Johnston: fullback Jim Conroy. One player also is eligible for five games at Washington but athletic director George Briggs won't disclose him until he has talked with the gridder. for more than a month but, like Southern Oregon, have had sev eral cagers with the football team until that slate ended. A number of the 'Jack cage pros pects were not available until after Thanksgiving. Bob Newman Cops Crown In Offense New York (IP) Bobby New man, a 21-year-old junior from El Cerrito, Calif., who headed Washington State's wide-open at tack, is the nation's total offense leader for major colleges. The National Collegiate Ath letic Bureau's final statistics of the year showed that Newman gained 1,444 yards in 10 games. That gave him a 19-yard edge over Bill Austin of Rutgers, who f played in only nine games but handled the ball 10 more times than Newman. All but 53 of Newman's yards gained resulted from passes no surprise since he placed second as a sophomore last season to John Brodie in he race for ma jor college passing honors. Ford Pass Champ Ken Ford of Hardin-Simmons, who completed 22 of 35 passes against New Mexico A&M last Thursday, won the passing title this year. Ford completed 115 of 205 attempts for a .561 aver age, 1,254 yards and 14 touch downs. 'Newman ranked second in this department again with Lee Grosscup of Utah third. Stuart Vaughan of Utah won the pass receiving title with 53 catches, 756 yards and five touchdowns. Gary Kapp of Utah State was second with 45 catch es, 633 yards and four touch downs. Topnotch Bowler To Visit Vets Camp White A special treat for veteran bowlers has been arranged by Manager E. K.'Rick er in the visit to the Veterans Administration domiciliary planned for Harold Asplund, an outstanding kegler on Friday, Dec. 20.

Asplund is one of the top flight bowlers of the country, accord ing to Ebersole's letter to Man ager Ricker. The Camp White domiciliary last year participated in the an nual BVL tournament, which was started 11 years ago with but seven hospitals entered. Bowling is regarded highly in the rehabilitation effort, and some remarkable results have been achieved, it is stated. It is consistently popular as a recrea tional feature at the domiciliary, where alleys were installed two years ago.

Kansas, ranked second to North Carolina nationally in the pre-season ratings of the United Press Board of Coaches, had its troubles before seven-foot Wilt (the Stilt) Chamberlain led a second-half rally Wednesday night for a 66-46 victory over Canisius.

BARGAIN GRADE 2x4-8' $12.50 Per M' CHENEY STUD MILL CENTRAL Eligibility Players to, Calif., but three of them pro duced knockdowns and the fourth set up the pretender for a finishing blow, prevented when referee Joe White stepped be tween the battlers to give Brown an 11th round TKO triumph Wednesday night. Brown, 31, was a 3-to-l favor ite to retain his championship, won Aug. 24, 1956, from Wal lace (Bud) Smith, when he stepped into the ring against Lopes. The victory brought Brown 515,840, of which 812,000 was from television. Lopes collected $9,920. It was Brown's 29th knockout in 92 pro fights, of which he has won 67.

Chicago (IP) Lightweight champion Joe Brown said today he was "rarin' to go" for a fresh defense of his title on the basis of his 11th round TKO of Joe Lopes. Brown and his manager, Lou Viscusi, threw open the gates to any of the three top. 135 pounders Kenny Lane, of Mus kegon, Mich., Ralph Dupas of New Orleans, and Dulio Loi of France. "It makes no difference to us," Viscusi said, and Brown nodded agreement. Viscusi said his only commit ment in the way of a title fight was a promise he made to a Texas promoter to put the crown on the line in Houston, Tex., af ter Jan. 1. As for Wednesday night's vic tory over Lopes, Brown said it was the easiest of his three title fights. He called the Sacramento, Calif., challenger "bothersome, but no dangerous fighter."

Draft, Bonus Proposals on Ballot Toddy Colorado Springs, Colo. (IP The minor leagues voted today on the possibility of changing the entire drafting and bonus structure of organized baseball, following two days of heated de bate. The big item is commissioner. Ford Frock's proposal for an un restricted draft that would al low the top clubs to draft a whole team, if they desired. Frick believes this would help the advancement of the players and at the same time take some of the "heat" off proposed anti trust legislation. The best guess is that the base ball men will stick with their present set-up on the Frick pro posal, but may abandon the con troversial bonus rule that has been under fire for years. The Pacific Coast league is leading the battle against Frick's idea. As the 56th annual convention neared the end of its sessions, it appeared that 27 leagues woulfl operate in 1958 with about 190 cities competing in the United States, Mexico and Can ada. There were 28 leagues in 1957 and the lone casualty was the Class C Evangeline loop in Louisiana. More than 750,000 boat trail ers are in use throughout the U.S., according to the Automo bile Club of Michigan.
