Selection
Of Curtice
Ratified
San Francisco OP) Coach
"Cactus Jack" Curtice of
Utah, who had been tabbed as
a "sure thing" to replace
Chuck Taylor as head foot
ball coach at Stanford Uni
versity, finally made it.
: Stanford President Wallace
Sterling made it official
Thursday following a meet
ing of the university's trustees
to ratify Curtice's earlier ac
ceptance by th '""rd of
pthletic contro'.
The formal announce,
was rather a dismal arm
;climax. Three hours earlier,
Curtice announced in Salt
Lake City that he resigned
from his post at the Univer
sity of Utah to accept the
Stanford offer.
t The 48-year-old coach mas
terminded the Western All
Stars to a 27-13 upset in the
East-West Shrine game Dec.
29 at Kezar Stadium.
- Sterling said Curtice was
given a five-year appointment
at Stanford, but he declined
-to state the salary terms. The
Siew coach's paycheck was ex
pected to be around $16,000
.-a year some $2000 more
hhan he was getting at the
"University of Utah.

among the top-rated clubs in
the state. A good many "ex
perts" regard the Eugenians
tougher competition.
The Tornado in its league
starters was more decisively
beaten by Klamath Falls than
was Ashland last week. Klam
ath had the advantage of its
home floor against Medford
while Ashland was at home
in meeting the Pels. But de
spite the home floor factor,
Ashland goes into its Medford
series at least a slight favorite.
Practices thte week have
been aimed at improving the
Tornado offensive patterns.
Defense also has been girded
for the set offense of the
Lithians and has been worked
on to overcome the lapses of
previous scuffles.
Possible Medford starters
this evening are Jerry Ander
son, Tom Hamlin, Lowell
Dean, Don Peek and Bilbee
Lane. For Ashland it should
be Kip Lombard, Bill Maurer,
Jack Tobiasson, Al Hartwell
and Scott Peterson.

will be seen with the Harlem Globetrotters when they
play the Washington, D. C, Generals at Hedrick Junior
High school tonight, has seen a good part of the world as
a part of Abe Seperstein's hoop aggregation. Milton has

foreign countries during eight seasons with the club. He
joined the Trotters right out of Fort Wayne, Ind., high
school. While in the military service he set several basket
ball records at Fort Gordon, Ga., which still stand. Game

Harold Johnson
Bout Favorite
Syracuse, N.Y. (IP) Harold
Johnson, whose light heavy
weight career once soured on
a doped orange, is a 3-1 fa
vorite to whip Bert White-
hurst, an unranked heavy
weight, tonight at War Me
morial auditorium. .
The 10-round bout will be
televised nationally (NBC) at
10 p.m., e.s.t.
Johnson, a rangy Philadel
phian, is back in his No. 1
contender's position in the
light-heavy ranks behind
champion Archie Moore. 'He's
been there once before.
That was before the May,
1955, Philadelphia fight with
Julio Mederos in which John
son slumped to the canvas in
the second round. He was
floored by a drugged orange.
That mishap halted and
threatened to end Johnson's
boxing career. But he started
his way back in 1956 with a
10-round decision over White-
hurst. Johnson, 29, has won
the other five bouts he's had
since then.
New York (IP) Light
weights Harold ' Smith o f
Washington, D. C. and Harold
Gomes of Providence, R. I.,
have signed to meet in a 10
round bout at St. Nicholas
arena, Jan. 20. Gil Cadilli of
San Francisco had signed to
meet Gomes, but had to with
draw because of a cut eye.

Kiner Foresees
Success in PCL
By HAL WOOD
Tijuana, Mex. (IP) The re
vamped Pacific Coast league
may be a bigger financial and
artistic success in 1958 than
it ever was when Los Angeles
and San Francisco had fran
chises in it, according to
Ralph Kiner, general mana
ger of the San Diego Padres.
Kiner, the one-time home
run king of the National
league, is looking forward to
a great season, not only for
his own club, but for the
whole league. "We have re
ceived very encouraging re
ports on the advance sales in
Phoenix, Salt Lake City and
Spokane," said Kiner. "Here
in San Diego we are building
a new park and the advance
sale of box seats is better
than it was when Los Ange
les and San Francisco were
in the league."
Kiner sees no reason there
should be a lessening of in
terest in the loop in Seattle,
Portland and Vancouver,
holdovers from last year.

fair this season, however, and
the Trojans rarely play dead
against the Bruins in any
thing. Two other PCC games are
scheduled. Defending confer

out to provei t is of champion

host Stanford at Berkeley,
Idaho will be fighting to stay
in the title chase when the

Oregon State, Washington
and Oregon are idle.
Oregon plays host to Wash

Saturday night. Oregon State
meets California at Berkeley
Saturday night and visits
Stanford Monday night.
The PCC race is pretty well
bunched up at this point but
things should clear up some

a 2-0 record, followed by USC
4-1, California and UCLA 3-1,
Idaho 2-2, Washington 1-2,
Stanford and Washington 1-3,
