College basketball's annual
"madness" - the holiday tour
naments starts to unwind
tonight on five fronts.
Opening round games are
scheduled in the Holiday Fev
tival at New York, the South-
Sugar Hart
Confident
For Bout
' Miami Beach-UPD-Knockout
puncher Garnet (Sugar) Hart
of Philadelphia is confident
he will upset the odds in a
: 10-round television fight
against veteran welterweight
Ralph Dupas tonight at the
Miami Beach Auditorium.
. If he "shows up big," Hart
said he will demand a shot at
Don Jordan's 147-pound title.
. Strangely, Hart is rated a
notch above the New Orleans
battler in the welterweight di
vision, but Dupas is the 7-5 fa
vorite for the clash, which is
the only nationally televised
bout of Christmas week on
NBC at 10 pjn., e.s.t.
Hart was ranked No. 2
among the welters by Ring
Magazine and No. 3 by the
National Boxing Association.
Dupas drew third rating from
Ring and fourth from x the
NBA.
But experts gave Dupas the
edge tonight on experience
and boxing skill.

The Holiday Festival actu
ally opened with an afternoon
double-header - Cornell vs.
Utah and St. Joseph's vs. Sy
racuse at Madison Square
Garden. The first round will
be completed tonight when
Dayton plays Niagara in a
"meetin' of the unbeaten" and
St. John's meets Holy Cross.

St. Joseph's, led by 6-foot-

the runnerup in last season's
National Invitation tourna
ment, are the co-favorites for
the Holiday Festival.
Never Won a Tourney
Dayton never has won a
tournament at Madison Square
Garden but could go all the
way this time if it can get
by Niagara tonight. However,
strong support also is expect
ed for St. John's, which has
lost only one of its first six
games and considers the Gar
den its home court.
Texas Christian is favored
to win the Southwest confer
ence shindig for the second
straight year; Kansas State,
the nation's third - ranked
team, is the pick in the Big
Eight tournament, Xavier
looms as the team to beat in
the All-College show, and
Tennessee Tech should pre
vail in the Evansville invita
tion.
In addition to the tourna

other major games on to
night's schedule as the col

clash before a capacity crowd
of 60,000 at 4:45 pjn. (EST),
will be NBC-TV-radio fea
tures. The North-South game
at Miami, which figures to
draw a crowd of 40,000, will
be a radio feature of the Mu
tual Broadcasting System.
Thus the four games figure
to draw 165,000 fans in addi
tion to large TV-radio audi
ences. Predicts High Scores
Mississippi, which depends
mainly on its passing game,
arrived in Jacksonville on
Christmas day and held a
light workout. Florida, which
arrived at Ponte Vedra beach
near Jacksonville Monday,
also held a light workout
Florida made its reputation
this year on defense but most
observers look for a high-scoring;
wide-open Gator Bowl
game.
Coach Johnny Vaught's
Mississippi team, led by Quar
terback Bobby Franklin, half
backs Jim Woodruff and Kent
Loveland and fullback Char
ley Flowers, led the South
eastern conference in rushing
yardage this year. Franklin,
equally adept at running or
passing, scored six touch
touchdowns and completed
56 of 121 throws for 10 touch
downs. He may have some fun Sat
urday because pass defense
was Florida's big weakness
this year. Florida has a tiny
but capable passer in Jimmy
Dunn, a 142-pound quarter
back. .
West Suffers Blow'
The West suffered a serious
blow for its clash with the
East in the Shrine game at
San Francisco when it lost
Buddy Dial. Dial, a star end
from Rice, sprained an ankle
Wednesday and it was learned
Thursday that he definitely
will not play. Bill Steiger,
who played both end and in
the backfield for Washington
State this year, may have to
play at both spots at various
times Saturday because of the
loss of Dial.
Lee Grosscup of Utah will
start at quarterback for the
West while Bob Ptacek of
Michigan probably will be
the starting signal-caller for
the East.
Dick Longfellow, West Vir
ginia quarterback who ranked
sixth among the nation's pass
ers this year, will lead a fa
vored North team against the
South in the 21st Blue-Gray
game. Jim Wood of Oklahoma
State and . Gene O'Pella of
Villanova are expected to be
Longfellow's favorite targets.
Bill Austin of Rutgers, the
North's key runner, is hamp
ered by a torn leg ligament.
Share Quarterback Chores
Billy Holsclaw of Virginia
Tech, a quarterback who
ranked sixth in the country
in total offense this year, and.
halfback . Bobby Cravens of
Kentucky appear to be the
South's key offensive perform
ers. Holsclaw is expected to
throw most of his passes to
Sonny Randle of Virginia and
Doug Padgett of Duke.
Bill Kaliden of Pittsburgh
and Al Jacks of Penn State
will share the quarterback
chores for the North in the
Saturday night game at Miami
while the South's signal-caller
will be Buddy Humphrey of
Baylor. Buddy led the major
college passers this season.
The Miami contest will be
played under professional
rules. The teams will use un
limited substitutions. The
team that is behind also may
elect to receive kickoff s at
any time.

Ring Magazine Summarizes Facts
And Conclusions For 1958 Boxing
New York (UPD The Ring
Magazine today announced
the following facts and con
clusions about boxing in 1958:
-Only nine deaths resulted
from ring injuries among pro
fessional and amateur boxers
throughout the world, despite
a mild fistic boom in some
areas.
-Don Jordan of Los An
geles, the new welterweight
champion, was voted the mag
azine's "Progress of the Year"
award.'
-Sweden's unbeaten Inge
mar Johansson, heavyweight
champion of Europe, was
named "Fighter of the Year,"
largely because of his first
round knockout over Ameri
can Eddie Machen, Sept. 14.
. -Archie Moore's dramatic
defense of the light heavy
weight crown against Canad
ian Yvon Durelle at Montreal,
Dec. 10, was designated "The
in the series with the scrappy ,
Corvallis quintette.
Giving the team height will
be Booth Deakins and Jerry
Shults, also on the outside,
both about 6-3. Jerry Ander
son and George Koch, both
about 6-3, also will fill the in
side positions.
Tornado Coach Frank Roe
landt says his team shows
plenty of good spirit, hustle
and drive and will give the
fans a good game to watch as
the local squad tries to round
out its pre-conference series
with a no loss record. Sorely
missed besides Dean will be
Don Peek who has been side
lined for some time recover
ing from an appendicitis op
eration. Has Edge in Height
The Medford team will
have the edge in height. Tall
est player for Corvallis is
Gene Milbrath, a skinny 6-3
southpaw forward who is
second leading scorer with 57
points in six games. The other
forward will probably be 5-10

Berkeley, Calif.- (UPD -University
of California Coach
Pete Elliott promised today to
have the "spare parts" to his
Bear football machine in
working order for the Rose
Bowl game.
Elliott and most of his boys
were to take off for Pasadena
this norning to gather with
some 15 Cal footballers who
took advantage of a one-day
Christmas break to spend the
holiday at their southern Cali
fornia homes.
The California coach has
been giving all members of
his squad plenty of hard work
during the training period
with the thought in mind that
often recently the Pacific
Coast conference representa
tive in the Rose Bowl has
played splendidly during the
first half and then folded.
SWITCH GAME DATE
Louisville, Ky. (UPD The
West Virginia - Western Ken

grounds coliseum Jan. 23 in
stead of Jon. 24. Both teams

really only 6-3 (the picture was taken on a
stairway) and team mates John Harvey,
guard, and Jerry Shults, forward, are 5-10
and 6-2 respectively. Medf ord is not lacking
in the height department, nor in hustle, hav
ing turned in a clean slate of victories so far
this year. The squad is concentrating on fun
damentals this week, according to Roelandt.,
ex - OSC assistant football
coach. Center is Sig 'Hansen,
6-1, who so far is reported
to have shown little scoring
punch with 24 points in six
games. However, he may be
replaced by sophomore
Geore Green, 6-2. Green is
noted as one of the most prom
ising athletes to hit the Wil
lamette valley school in years.
In his latest outing he scored
10 points against Beaverton.
Corvallis guards which may
start tonight are Keith Mor
row, 5-10, team's leading scor
er with 71 points, and Dwight
Hunter with 40 points in six
games. Both were starters last
year.
Subs Listed
Substitutes for Corvallis
are Wayne Lenhard, rugged
6-1 non-letterman with fair
scoring ability and good re
bounding, Jim '- Nanson, 5-5
younger brother of OSC's
Kenny Nanson who has been
a sparkplug in two games. An
other on the sub list is Bill
Edwards, 5-10, noted as a
great hustler with little shoot
ing ability. Darrell Cox, a
promising junior with a good
jump shot may also see action
tonight.
Of all these, Milbrath, Han
sen, Morrow, Hunter, Ed
wards and Gayle Mishler (an
other reserve guard) are let
termen. Directing this team Is Bob
Payne, former OSC all-northern
division choice. His team
rates as a surprise so far be
cause a coaches' poll picked
them to finish fifth in the six
team 8-A-l district.
Medford's Tornadoes will be
tightening up their man for
man defense against a pos
sible fast-breaking team. Cor
vallis uses the fast break
when the situation calls for
it. Playing Beaverton they ran
up 39 points in the first half.

1958 in a rangy, running au

There were eye-popping per

sports. Name your favorite

But Elliott, the health diet
addict who trains by running
a mere 20 miles a day, stood
head and shoulders over the
field. ,
The 20-year-old kid ran 10
miles under the four-minute
barrier. Then,, at Dublin on
Aug. 6, he lowered the world
mile mark to a fantastic
3:54.5. They were efforts
which stole the track thunder
of Rafer Johnson, who set a
new world record in the de
cathlon which many regard
as the toughest individual
event of them all.

While the Giants rested
Christmas, the Colts ran
through drills aimed at polish
ing their defense. As the play
off game drew near, Ewbank
reported his team in good con
dition. However, with typical
caution he brushed aside Bal
timore's role as a- three and
one-half point favorite.
The Colts suffered a 24-21
regular season loss to the
Giants, and Ewbank hadn't
forgotten when the odds-makers
were quoted.
One off-the-field factor that
most coaches agree does win
games, however, is a close
study of a rival's film, and '
the Colts have been, doing
some heavy viewing in pre
paration for their Yankee Sta
dium showdown with the
Giants. The viewing was fruit
ful, too, according to Ewbank.
Questioned whether he and
his staff had learner! anything v

Giant film with a practiced

had. Just what they learned,
of course, will remain Ew
