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.

Bowl Plea Vetoed

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.

enough," Daly said. "Dis

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.
LONG THREE DAYS
Utrera, Spain -(UPD- On Nov.
26, 1888, Maria Ferrero Ro
man, a timid country girl of
15, was hired by the head of
the Cuadra family to do three
days temporary household
work. Wednesday, Maria cel
ebrated her 70th anniversary
o f uninterrupted domestic
service in the family. She has
waited on six generations.
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.
KILLER ELEPHANT This is Dorothy, the ill-tempered
performing elephant who crushed and killed circus
worker James Donald Lloyd, 28, at Groves, Tex., near
Port Arthur. Dorothy is reported to have, injured 11
other persons previously. County officials are undecided
as to what to do with the animal.
