Treatment Of Negroes Displeases Charlotte, N. C.-OJPD-A dis pute over treatment of Negro professional basketball play ers in this Southern city has, for the moment, clouded the future of pro basketball games at the Charlotte Coli seum. National Basketball associa tion teams normally play one game here each season, but the contracts are on a year to year basis. Contracts for next year's games have not been signed, according to Paul Buck, coliseum manager. Executives of two NBA clubs, the Boston Celtics and the Minneapolis Lakers, said they were angry over the treatment Negro players re ceived here for a game Mon day night. "I don't care if we ever go b' V said Celtics owner V'.ter Brown. "I know one thing-I'll never do anything to embarrass my players." Housed Separately Laker President Richard Short also indicated displeas ure because Negro players were not permitted to eat with white teammates at lo cal restaurants and were housed in a separate hotel. The Negro players involved included former college Ail-American Elgin Baylor and Bill Russell. Baylor, rookie scoring ace for the Lakers, said the hotel he and two other Negro play ers were assigned "was a hole It was really decripit." Russell, center for the Cel tics, said he was "shocked and hurt" by the segregation laws which forced him and team mates K. C. Jones and Ben Swain to find rooms for Negroes. A fourth Celtic play er, Sam Jones, stayed witn relatives here. MedfordIJTribune Washington State's Bowl Plea Vetoed Spokane -0JPD- There'll be no post-season football game for Washington State college A New Year's bowl trip for the Cougars was killed Wednesday by a Pacific Coast conference veto clause. The veto was exercised by Bids Received On Klamath Land Portland -(UPD- The Bureau of Indian Affairs said Wednes day it has received bids on a 39-tract reservation land sale under the Klamath Indian Termination act. Money will be used to pay off withdrawing members of the Klamath tribe. Area Director Don C. Foster said it was possible none of the land bid for in tne saie would leave the tribe. He said some 38 tribe members filed a total of 121 notices of inter est covering each tract in the sale. This gives each Indian the right to. buy the land in question himself by matching the bid of the highest bidder. Money for the Indians' bid will be taken from his yet-to-' come share of the tribe's ter mination settlement.

Daly declined Wednes day to sentence Thomas Fick ett, 21, on a charge of taking $150 worth of tools from a repair shop when he learned Fickett is about to get mar ried. "That's punishment enough," Daly said. "Dis , charged." Draft Spot At Stake In Pro Mix By LLOYD NORTHARD United Press International Detroit flJPD The Detroit Lions, alreacjy dethroned as National Football league champions, meet the lowly Green Bay Packers today in a nationally - televised Thanks giving Day battle at Briggs Stadium. The Lions have won only three games in nine starts this year and rank fifth in the six team Western Division. Green Bay is in last place with a single victory. Detroit and Green" Bay met once earlier this year and fought to a 13-13 tie. Prompts Layne Departure That deadlock prompted the departure of Lions' quarter back Bobby Layne. He was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers a day later, apparent ly as a result of a play that cost Detroit victory in the last minute of the game. Detroit moved inside the Green Bay 10-yard line but lost the ball when Layne cut loose a wild pitchout which was recovered by the Packers Tobin Rote, who came to the Lions from the Packers a year ago and led Detroit to the NFL title, has directed the team full-time on offensive since Layne's departure. Draft at Stake About the only thing at stake for the Lions and Pack ers is the order of selection in the 1959 NFL draft. The team that finishes last gets the first shot at top col lege players. Green Bay would have to win its last three starts, all on the road, to pass the Lions and Detroit would have to lose its final three games. All other NFL teams were idle today. They return to ac tion Sunday with the Western Division leading Baltimore Colts entertaining the San Francisco 49ers and the East ern Division leading' Cleve land Browns playing host to Washington. Los Angeles plays the Cardinals at Chica go and Philadelphia is at New York.

ABBOT GUEST SPEAKER Macomb, Ill.-(UPD-Dick Ab bott, Western Illinois cross country coach, will be guest speaker at the National As sociation of Intercollegiate Athletics' Cross Country Meet and Clinic at Omaha, Nab., Friday. UCLA and the University of Southern California, a move which overruled all voting. A veto by any one of the eight PCC members automatically kills the issue, regardless of how the earlier voting stacks up. rne uougars, wno lost a Rose Bowl bid to California, had asked a poll vote by mem bers of the withering confer ence to waive a conference rule and allow them to be con sidered for a chance to battle in the Sugar or Gator bowls. The rule holds that PCC teams are eligible for only the Rose Bowl. Under Consideration Washington State had been notified by Gator and Sugar Bowl committees that the school was under considera tion. The two dissenting Cali fornia schools both confirmed that they vetoed the Cougars' proposed participation in a post-season game, stating they did so to protect the provisions of the Rose Bowl agreement to which the Pacific Coast Conference i s committed through 1960. Dr. C. Clement French, president of WSC, said after the announcement, "We have been given assurance that the other six member schools sup ported our petition to waive the rule." Coach Jim Sutherland was not immediately available for comment but the Cougar team members expressed disap pointment over what they considered the "petty" action by the opposing schools. Portlander Held On Liquor Charge Redmond (UPD Edward Kaye, 58, Portland, is to be arraigned here Monday before Justice of Peace Donald Ellis on a charge of illegal posses sion of liquor. Kaye was arrested here Wednesday when police found about 578 cased bottles of liqubr ranging from two ounce to gallon sizes. ' Police became suspicious when they saw his heavily laden car contained'concealed boxes. A search warrant was ob tained and police searched the car finding the bottles which bore labels from a Reno. Nev., wholesaler. An Oregon law forbids transporting of more than one bottle of liquor across the state line for private consumption. Warning Issued On Leftovers Portland -fl!PD- A word to the wise: Watch out for those Thanksgiving leftovers if you want to avoid a trip to the hospital. The State Board of Health issued its annual holiday sea son warning on food poisoning. It warned to keep poultry and ham in the refrigerator before cooking and to pre-cook dressing irfgredients and to stuff the turkey just before cooking. It also said leftovers should be thoroughly heated before eating. Major League Resistance To Inter-Loop Schedules Appears To Be Breaking Detroit -(UPD -Major league resistance to an inter-league schedule appears to be break ing down with the introduc tion of an inter-league draft proposal to next week's ma jor and minor league baseball meeting in Washington. Several years ago when then Cleveland Indian Gen eral Manager Hank Green berg came out for a schedule that would give fans an op portunity to see the teams of the other league, a great fuss was raised. Now, with declining gate receipts and the American league's annual Yankee run away, Greenberg's idea is coming into favor. But it will be at least two years before it can happen. "Usually the inter-league draft and the inter-league schedule have been connect ed," Detroit General Man ager John McHale said. "We are for the idea. Baseball has to keep making progress to at tract the fans. The draft proposal was brought up by the Philadel phia Phillies. It would pro vide that players could . be traded from the American to the National League and vice versa, without waivers being asked, from Nov. 21 to Feb. 28. "It would be a lot easier to trade," McHale said. "That way, say if a National league club had an abundance of good hitters but was short on pitching "and it didn't want to trade the hitters to clubs in its own league, it could trade with a team in the American league. A 5-3 majority in each league would be necessary to put the rule into effect. Mc Hale said if the proposal passes, the inter-league sched ule might not be far behind. It's not on the agenda for next week's meeting. If it could be brought up next December, American fans could see the National league stars by 1961. Since scheduling for the next season usually is started in August, it's unlikely, even if the plan were passed next year, that it could be put into effect for the 1960 season.
