SPORTS
Webb Tells
Big Leagues1
View on TV
By HAL WOOD
Colorado Springs, Colo. OP)
Co-owner Del Webb of the Yan
kees, usually a mild-mannered
man, struck back at the minor
leagues and their president,
George Trautman, today in the
growing battle over the majors'
plan to televise a Sunday "game-of-the-week."
j i.i irautman wouia spena
jmore time running the minor
I leagues and less time criticizing
us, it would be better for all
concerned," said Webb.
In a scathing speech he made
last Tuesday, Trautman had sin
gled out a number of wealthy
major league owners, including
Webb and his Yankee partner,
Dan Topping, for allowing the
minors to be in their current
plight.
Webb is particularly incensed
at the threat of the minors to
sue the majors on the television
plans.
No Way Out
"What are we going to do?"
he asked. "If we don't televise
the games, we will be held in
restraint of trade by the Justice
department. If we do, we will
be sued by the minors."
Admittedly it will take a man
with the wisdom of Solomon to
figure this one out. Maybe Webb
can convince the minors they
have the wrong idea. What he
has to say in the way of advice
sounds solid.
'"I can tell you this," he says.
"It is my experience that base
ball gets millions of dollars in
free publicity every year from
televised games. Televising base
ball makes more baseball fans
and is good for the over-all struc
ture of the organization.
"The best proof of that is the
sport of wrestling. Television has
made wrestling promotion a very
profitable business because it
has advertised the sport. The
same is true in baseball.
Majors in the Middle
"Any way you look at it, the
major leagues are in the middle
of the television problem. If we
do, we will be sued. If we don't
we'll be in trouble with the gov
ernment." The minors, of course, are in
violent disagreement and con
tend that this is the "year of
decision" that if they don't
make a go of it this year, maybe
they never will.
Mr. Webb is of the opinion
that the minors will not be hurt
by television and he doesn't
sound as' though he is about to
back down on that opinion.
The majors will discuss the
subject today and maybe they
,will be able to come to some
agreement with the minors.
But as things stand right now
the "cold war" is on!

From PCC
New Look
By SCOTT BAILLIE
San Francisco HP Victor O
Schmidt, stern disciple of law
enforcement, headed for the
exit today as commissioner of
the Pacific Coast conference
which apparently is shedding its
austerity program and leaning
toward a free ride for "blue
chip" athletes.
Schmidt announced Thursday
that his resignation from the
516,800 per year job will take
effect next June 30. It climaxed
a four-day PCC meeting in
which a measure was approved
to give certain athletes room
and board as well as tuition, the
"penalized" seniors were allow
ed to play in any five consecu
tive football games next season
and the controversial round
robin was all but junked.
The 53-year-old Schmidt, who
had been commissioner since
1944, merely said he had de
cided to go back to his law prac
tice. His announcement came
only two days after a move by
California, UCLA and Southern
California to restrict the func
tions of his office were defeated
by a 6-3 margin.
No successor to the post was
mentioned.
Schmidt In Row With UCLA
Schmidt figured in a bitter
row with UCLA in March of
1956 during the conference dis
closures as the Bruins, Southern
California, Washington and
California were being heavily
penalized for infractions.
UCLA would not let him on
campus to quiz some of its grid
ders and the school was fined
515,000 by the conference for
its action. Schmidt later brand
ed groups which criticized the
conference for its strict penalties
as "money changers."
Schmidt said he was resigning
as "the conference completed
settlement of the critical issues
which have arisen in the area
of rules enforcement over the
last two years in which the com
missioner has had a particular
responsibility.
"It is my earnest hope that

struction of a new park to ac

The move for the new park at

Construction of a new park

Red Faces,
Body Bruises
By FRANK LITSKY
United Press Sports Writer
Basketball players from Min
nesota wore red faces and those
from North Carolina State wore
red body bruises today but each
team had a victory to soothe Its
ills.
Minnesota nosed out Iowa
State, 67-66, Thursday night at
Minneapolis although Iowa
State s Lyle Frahm and John
Crawford continually stole the
ball from the bewildered Goph
ers. North Carolina State whip
ped Wake Forest. 62-51, at Win
ston-Salem, N. C, in a game
marked by hot tempers and bru
tal backboard bumping in the
second half.
A full-court press helped Iowa
State tie Minnesota in the second
half before sophomore guard
Mario Miller went to work. Mil
ler scored 13 points in the half
and 16 for the night to keep if
safe for Minnesota. Frahm scored
21 for Iowa State.
Hard Fought Game
North Carolina State's tight
zone, 49 per cent shooting aver
age and backboard control pro
vided its victory in the first game
of the Atlantis Coast conference
season, althou-h Wake Forest
fought mightily for the rebounds.
There were several spills under
the boards, and Dave Budd ol
Wake Forest was almost kayoed
j when he hit the floor head first.
Bob MacGillivray led the North
Carolina State scorers with 20
points.
Mississippi State broke its crWn
scoring record by doubling the
opposition s score m a 114-0 vic
tory over Howard College of Ala

Howell, who led the nation in
field goal accuracy as a sopho
more last year, scored 28 points.
