Assistant Named Mead (Q)ff San Francisco 49'ers San Francisco -(UPD- How ard (Red) Hickey, assistant coach of the San Francisco Forty Niners, was narked head coach of the pro football club today to succeed Frankie Al bert who resigned last week. The appointment of the one time University of Arkansas star was announced by Forty Kiner President Victor P. Morabito. Hickey, assistant coach in charge of offense, has been with the Forty Niners since 1955. Before that he was with the Los Angeles Rams since 1941 as a player at end and coach except for four years of war duty. Hickey had been most fre Upsets Featured In Lively Fisticuffs United Press International Upsets featured the year's liveliest boxing night Monday, although a world champion and a European titleholder won their bouts handily. "Name" fighters like John ny Saxton, Ralph Tiger Jones, Davey Dupas, Victor Salazar and Ludwig Lightburn were licked, and heavyweight con tender Zora Folley couldn't draw enough money to permit a scheduled fight to be staged. However, Pascual Perez of Argentina made a successful eighth defense of the world flyweight title by winning a unanimous 15-round decision over Filipino Dommy Ursua - before 40,000 at Manila larg est crowd in Philippine fight history. And at Paris, Gustav Scholz of Germany, European middle weight champion, outpointed mustachioed Germinal Balla rin of France in a 10-round non-title bout. Zalazar Most Disappointed Perhaps the most disap pointed fighter of the night was young Zalazar, Argentine middleweight who went into the ring with 15 straight knockouts in 15 professional starts, and lost a split deci sion to Benny Kid Paret of Cuba at St. Nicholas Arena in New York. At Providence, R. I., Willie Greene an unbeaten but lit tle known middleweight, stopped Saxton, the former two-time welterweight cham pion, in the third round. At Cleveland, middleweight contender Rory Calhoun came back and surprised with a unanimous decision over Jones, who had outpointed Rory at New York only three weeks ago. Lightly regarded J. D. Ellis, a Trenton, N.J. lightweight, upset Dupas of New Orleans at Ottawa, Ont., in a bout that was Ellis' first 10-round-er. Ellis got the unanimous de cision. Parsley Upsets Lightburn At New Orleans, Arthur Persley apparently a light weight on the skids won an upset split 10-round verdict over highly-touted Lightburn of British Honduras.

The Forty Niners ended the season with a 6-6 record. Hard-Driving Leader The new Forty Niners coach is known as a hard-driving leader who demands all-performances from his players. Hickey had a choice of go ing into pro football or pro baseball when he was gradu ated from Arkansas after serv ing' as captain of the Razor backs in his senior year and playing in the Shrine East- West game. He also starred in Paul Pender i n his second bout after three years absence from the ring stopped Pete Adams of Newark, N. J. in the fourth round. Folley, third-ranked heavy weight contender, had to make it an eight-round exhi bition with Alvin Green at Odessa, Tex., because the pro moter couldn't raise enough money for their scheduled 10 round fight even though the nat was passed. On the Calhoun-Jones sup porting card at Cleveland. Le mar Clark young heavy weight knockout artist from Cedar City, Utah belted out two oi tnree scheduled oppon ents but was unable to tackle the third because of a hand injury. He may have suffered a fracture.

FORMER CHAMPS RETIRE Hamburg, Germany - (UPD -Willie Hoepner and Gernard Hecht, two former German light heavyweight champions, have announced their retire- ment from the ring. Hoepner, 33, lost the European title to Erich Schoeppner three days ago. Hecht, 35, was Euro pean champion twice. Proof.. - li M-9 'I baseball and basketball. An injury that hampered his throwing influenced him to pick football for a career. - He was drafted by the Pitts burgh Steelers but played only one game, against Cleve land. The Cleveland franchise later was shifted to Los An geles and the Rams bought him. - No Passer on Team "I was supposed to be a pass catching end but the Steelers didn't have anybody who could throw the ball," Hickey remarked recently. "After the Ram game, the Pittsburgh coach came to me and said: "I've got good news for you, Red, Cleveland wants you.' I was tickled to death because Cleveland had a fine passer in Parker Hall." He served in the Navy dur ing the war, playing service football before he was as signed as gunnery officer on a merchant ship. He was dis charged a lieutenant (jg). Hickey played on the world championship Ram team in 1945. While assistant coach at Los Angeles, Rams won four division titles and the world championship in 1951. BASKETBALL East Queens 68.

Arizin Now Second In NBA Points New York (DPD Pitchin Paul Arizin, the jump-shoot mg former league scoring champion from the Philadel phia Warriors, took over the runner-up spot in the National Basketball association point chase today but still remained well astern of leader Bob Pet- tit of St. Louis. Six-nine Pettit, one-t i m e college star at Louisiana State, continued to set the pact both in total points with 684 and in average points per game with 28.5, although he has played less games than some of his chief rivals. Ex-Marine Arizin moved into the No. 2 slot by just an eyelash over star rookie EL gin Baylor of Minneapolis, Each has averaged 25.5 points per game, but Arizin, who has played one more game, has a total of 638 points to 611 for Baylor, a star last year at Seattle university. Yardley Fourth Defending scoring champion George Yardley of the De troit Pistons is fourth in total scoring with 575 and Jack Tw'yman of Cincinnati fifth with 543. However, on a basis of average points per game, Twyman is No. 4 at 22.6 per game and Cliff Hagan of St. Louis is No. 5 at 22.5. One league record was set during the past week and another will be set during the coming week. Richie Guerin of the New York Knicks, former Iona College ace, set an all-time league record when he was credited with 21 assists in a game against St. Louis on Fri day. He thus eclipsed the old record of 20 set by Bob Da vies of Rochester against Bos ton in 1955. Schayeg Nears Record Adolph Schayes of Syracuse needs only 23 baskets during the coming week to break George Mikan's all-time rec ord of 4,097 for his career. Schayes last Thursday became only the second player in league history to take 10,000 shots Bob Cousy of Boston holds the all-time record of 10,554. Leaders in other depart ments were the same this same this week as last. Ken Sears of New York leads in basket accuracy with a .521 mark, Bill Sharman of Bos ton is the best free throw marksman with a .928 aver age,. Bill Russell of Boston is tops in rebounds with 507, and Dick McGuire of Detroit is tops in assists with 187.

Following the business meeting, members prepared dishes from recipes of their own choosing. Sarah Madden, Reporter - MedforjvSTribune siPdDnBTrs Browns Place Many All-Stars Los Angeles (CPE The Cleveland Browns and New York Giants, deadlocked for the Eastern Conference title, have placed seven men each on the all-star squad which will face the Western Con ference in the Pro bowl game Jan. 11 at the Los Angeles coliseum. The squad selected by the National League Football coaches for the ninth annual all-star pro game was an nounced Monday. Included in the East roster were Lou Groza, Cleveland tackle who has appeared in all but one Pro bowl contest. Heading the East roster is fullback Jim Brown, the Browns record-breaking back; half back OUie Matson of the Chicago Cardinals, in his sixth appearance, and quar terbacks Norm Van Brocklin of Philadelphia and Bobby Layne of Pittsburgh. The game marks a return performance for Van Brock lin, a former Ram star who was traded to the Eagles in 1957. Layne was a former Detroit star who boosted the Pitts burgh Steelers into third place in the Eastern division. The West squad is to be announced later this week. The East roster: Offense: Ends: Palmer Retzlaff, Sport Parade New York-(UPD-Bob Mathias looked back over the years and there was utter convic tion in his voice. "I have played football and most other sports," said the two-time Olympic king "and for sheer physical demands nothing can touch the decath lon." What brings this to mind is the National AAU voting cur rently being conducted to se lect the winner of the Sulli van award, the nation's most coveted amateur athletic trophy. Named on the ballot are two swimmers, a pair of track aces, a figure skater, a weight lifter and a wrestler. They are, in order, Sylvia Ruuska of Berkeley, Calif.; Frank Mc Kinney of Indianapolis, Glenn Davis of Ohio State, Rafer Johnson of UCLA, Dave Jen inks of, Colorado Springs, Tommy Kono of Honolulu and Terry McCann of Tulsa. Each and every one of them deserves the honor. Yet, and without attempt ing to prejudice anyone else's vote in any manner, this is just to say that in this corner there can be but one winner. Johnson, The Greatest That's Johnson, the Nation al AAU world record holder in the decathlon who this sum mer proved himself to be the grestest all-around athlete in the history of recorded sports. Back in the days before the stop watch, it is possible that there may have been someone who could run faster, leap higher and farther and toss as sorted implements for longer distances. But no one on rec ord ever matched his all-over ability. That goes for the immortal Jim Thorpe, eight of whose 10 decathlon marks were sur passed by the barrel-chested Rafer. It goes for Mathias and also for Russia's Vasily Ku znetsov, both world record holders who saw their marks disappear under the weight of Johnson's muscular arms and legs. The clincher came in a head-and-head meeting at Moscow last summer with the Russian star. Kuznetsov held the world mark of 8,014 points. When it was over, Johnson held the new world mark of 8,037 points in what even the Russian press hailed as a performance "that will dignify the history of world athletic records for a long time to come."

OSCAR FRALEY Spent Writer United Prtss won that event, the 400-meter run and was on the winning 1,600-meter relay team in the dual meet against Russia. Jenkins is the two-time U.S. figure skating champion. Kono is a marvel who has bro ken world weightlifting rec ords in four divisions. Mc Cann, a two-time national wrestling champion, was the only man to go without a de feat in a meet with the Rus sions. McKinney holds four national backstroke titles and two American records. Miss Ruuska was a bronze medalist in the Olympics at the age of 14 and holds a to tal of six national champion ships. All of them are champions and even, more important, sportsmen of the highest de gree. Any one of them would be a fit winner of the Sulli van Award. But from this angle, one stands out head and shoulders over every athlete in the world this past year. As George Eastment, the coach of the American -"earn at Mos cow, summed it up: Johnson is truly the World's greatest athlete. LEAVES HOSPITAL Lawrence, Kan. -(UPD- E. C.

Ford, the canny, left-handed curve-baller of the Yankees' pitching staff, turned in a 2.01 earned run average that was certified as best in the league, while the right-handed Turley compiled the loop's highest percentage, .750, by winning 21 games and losing only seven. Ford Sidelined Sidelined with a sore el bow for part of the season, the 31-year-old Ford still managed to fashion a 14-7 rec ord and lead the league with seven shutouts. His .667 won lost percentage was second only to Turley's. No one could touch Ford in the ERA department.

About 10 seconds after it hits bottom, according to in structions, a fisherman can reel it in and at a glance de termine the depth and-what is even more important-the correct temperature at the point where the gauge rested. Fish, like people, must have oxygen to live and, like hu mans, prefer varying degrees of temperature, according to Kollman. With a few casts of the gauge an angler can locate reefs, bars, drop-offs and spring holes which are a won derful source of oxygen. Both at Same Time Most fishermen have heard that fish are present at certain water temperatures and that the temperatures vary accord ing to depth, season and the particular body of water.

Kollman pointed out that part of the time it will be next to impossible to find the exact temperatures. A general rule to follow in the summer, he said is to find the coolest wa ter at the most shallow spot and in the winter to find the warmest water at the shallow est point. The deeper down an angler goes for that cooler water, the less oxygen it contains. 17 Builders Supply QUALITY BLOCKS Drain Tile Bricks, Fluas, 727 W. McAndrewt Ph.
