How's that? You say Johnny O'Brien has already graduated from SU? You say he tossed in 2, 733 points in three seasons and in 1953 was named to Ferris Builds Woes Over Pact He Made With Red Athletes New York W Dan Fer ris, the man responsible for the historic athletic agree ment between the United States and Russia, warned to day that "we face an almost impossible task in raising the money to make the program work.

But there was caution in Ferris' words. 'Naturally, I'm pleased," he said. "This is a milestone if it can be realized. It would be fine for sports and inter national good will. But it will cost us something like $155,- 000 to pay the expense for competition in track, basket ball, wrestling and weight lifting. "Right now, it would be al most impossible to handle it because the Amateur Athletic Union doesn't have the money and our people around the country don't seem to be in terested. While I'm not put ting out an appeal for fundsv 1 must say that the response we've had so far doesn't speak too well for sports interests in various cities." If everything works out, Ferris will have realized a dream. He retired last year after 30 years as national secretary-treasurer of the AAU but has remained active as honorary secretary and chair man of the foreign affairs committee. He has devoted almost all of hjs time in recent weeks to attempts to get final agreement on the home-and-home competition with Rus sia. TROOP PULL-OUT BEGINS Manila (IP) U.S. Ambassa dor to the Philipines Charles E. Bohlen said today Ameri can military forces expect to complete an intensified pull out from Manila by next July. 31. In a note delivered to the foreign office, Bohlen said stepped-up evacuation of the Manila Air Station by U.S. military forces will begin this week. He said this was made possible by the conclu sion of arrangements for a commercial concern to handle U.S military cargo through the port of Manila. STUDENT VISITS PROPOSED London (IP) A government spokesman said today the So viet relations committee of the British Council has invit ed 300 Russian students to visit Britain for short periods. Ian Harvey, joint foreign un dersecretary, said the com mittee also has offered annual exchanges of 20 students in the Russian and English lang- guages as well as two British scholarships for teachers on a reciprocal basis.

LEA MOTORS Returns Drooling "This kid is a tremendous driver," says Cazzetta. "He has a good jump shot from around the key, is a good outside shooter and a rugged rebounder. More Qualities "And like the original Johnny O., he has a couple of other- qualities that every coach wants in a player determination and a fighting spirit." This Johnny O. may not score in the same league with the original magic eye, but he isn't doing bad either. Current averages find him running neck and neck with another guard, Charley Kar ach, his running mate in high school. O'Brien currently is hitting for a 17.6 per game mark and Karach an even 19. Between them this pair notched 56 points in one game and then did even better with a 60-point output in another contest. The Johnny O'Brien of the 1951-52-53 vintage freely ad mitted he couldn't guard his own lunch pail. Knows Defense The current O'Brien is a good defensive player. "He has good speed," says Cazzetta "and he's big enough to make it rugged off the backboards. Defensively, he's getting better all the time." Cazzetta also rates his O'Brien a slick passer and a good floor man. He and Kar ach have that rare ability to take charge when the going gets rough and already this season have pulled the Pap ooses out of several holes with last-minute rallies. No wonder castellani is drooling. "Just imagine," he says, "a guard six feet, .three inches tall who can run and shoot." Not the original O'Brien, you understand, but a mighty good namesake.

The board Monday, in adopting a report on the mid dle Snake river, urged Con gress to approve money "for an Interior Department study of a high dam at Pleasant Valley. It also urged development of lower Snake river dams and John Day dam on the Columbia river to provide time to further study eco nomic aspects of the middle Snake river. ' An order setting aside un til 1965 a fish sanctuary on the middle Snake to protect fish runs on the Salmon and Imnaha rivers was approved. Seven Combinations Studied The board asked the Fed eral Power Commission to suspend any Dart of a license for the Idaho Power Com pany's Oxbow, Brownlee and Little Hells Canyon dams which would interfere with maximum economic develop ment of a high Pleasant Val ley dam "or other projects of higher order of develop ment in this reach of the river." The board studied the phy sical capabilities of seven combinations of dams and found that a high Hells Can yon dam in combination with a high Mountain Sheep dam provided the most prime pow er and the most flood control of any. It emphasized that the evaluation of seven com binations was tentative. The board urged Army en gineers to include in their re port all possible combinations a iii.i I! SUNNV m BROW E S WO-!-?

Idaho Application Held Up A decision on applications of Idaho Power Company for state licenses on Brownlee, Oxbow and Little Hells Can yon was withheld. The board said decision would be held up until the report is finished. The board recommended that enough money be appro prited "and construction ex pedited" on low dams, includ ing Ice Harbor, Lower Monu mental, Little Goose and Low er Grant on the lower Snake. It said speeding up these dams, as well as John Day, would give time to study the potential of the middle Snake for maximum development. It said it would help and encourage fishery agencies in the problem of fish passage.
