HEAD OR BALL - It'i hard to tell whether Crater high players Chuck Turner and Dennis Pfaff (10) have hold of the head of Rodger Burton (13) or the ball, or both, in this bit of scrapping in the Comet fracas with Grants Pass on Friday night. Players looking on the tussle are Grants Pass' Johnnie Olson (11), who scored 36 points, and Rick Sabin (10) and Crater's Bill White (42). Grants Pas? won 71 to 53. (LDflson Puts In 36 As Cavemen YrBm Crater High.7153 Central Point Grants Pass high's Cavemen didn't have the services of their biggest men Friday night, but the maplecourters from the Cli mate city were plenty thank ful Johnnie Olson was still on hand. Olson, a 6-1 senior, racked up 36 points here, more than half his team's total, as the Cavemen bounced the Crater Comets 71 to 53 in a South ern Oregon conference game The decision pulled Grants Pass into a second place tie with Klamath Falls in the cir cuit. . , Crater gave the Cavemen a close skirmish in the' first half but Grants Pass ran up 24 markers to eight for the Comets in the third quarter to waltz away with the con test. Without 6-3 regulars John Fox and Jerry Putnam, top rebounders, in the line-up the Cavemen went all out to make up for the absence of their injured teammates. And this hustling effort paid off. The difference it made didn't show up so much in the back boarding figures but the GP "cagers consistently beat the Comets to the ball and broke up their offensive efforts. They controlled1 the ball much of the time and when they couldn't drive lor the bucket they set up good shots or hit well from long range. Olson's hot shootir-g from a variety 'of distances and angles firgure strong in the triumph as he sparked the tvay. . Sharpshooting Johnie swished through 10 of 13 field goal shots and connected 16 for 20 from the field. He was the only Caveman in double point figures. Bill White had 17 for Crater, Wayne Allen 13 and Dennis Pfaff 12. White and Olson in additi ton to heading the scoremak lng were the leading back board men with 10 retrieves' apiece. After a 19-all knot for the first quarter the Cavemen mnaged a 31 to 29 edge at the halfway horn and then sprang to 55 to 37 in the third canto. Comets Lead Early Crater worked to a 13 to 7 bulge midway in the first quarter but Grants Pass pull ed even at 15 points and went on top for the first time at 17 to 15- The Comets tied it at 17. Grants Pass made it 19 to 17 before the period deadlock. IRRIGATION PUMPS to 60 H.P. From $29 50 up 13 H.P. Shallow Well $g350 V2 H.P.

Bums Chop Play Area Los Angeles -4UPD- The Dodgers cut off a big chunk of their right field playing area in Memorial Coliseum Saturday to give Duke Snider and other left-handed hitters a better chance for homers during 1959. General manager E. J. (Buz zie) Bavasi announced the new dimensions for the club's second season in its tempor ary quarters after a lengthy study of all National league parks. Chief change was removal of the deep area near the rightfield foul line where last year there had been a drop from 300 feet down the foul line to 390 feet. This year the outfield fence will tie into the stands at the 300-foot mark and then make a gradual drop to 333 feet be fore it reaches a right center field measurement of 375 feet where last year the fence stood an impossible 440 feet from the plate. Straightaway centerfield will be 420 feet from the plate, five feet less than last year. - No changes were made in left field and left center. The distance down the left field foul line will remain a short 251 feet backed up by a 40 foot screen stretching for 140 feetw here left centerfield has a depth of 320 feet. Japan has dedicated a mon ument to 48,148 foreign sol diers who died on Japanese soil ja. World War II. Round Table Sets Record On Turf Arcadia, Calif. '-UPD- Round Table picked up 132 pounds Saturday and in one of his great races set a new Ameri can turf record for a mile and a quarter over the grass in the $29,250 San Marcos Handicap at Santa Anita. Winning by a half - dozen lengths in a canter, Round Table's time was 1:58-25, clipping two-fifths of a sec ond off the American record set by Alidon here in 1955. Eddie Schmidt closed reso- lutely to get up for second and Andrew Alan was third while Anxious Moment was fourth in the field of eight starters. In addition to his record, Round Table also set a mark of being the first horse in Santa Anita history to win a stakes with more than 130 pounds. The all-time money-winner was making his first start on the Santa Anita grass course although for the past two years he has been the national grass course champion as a result of eastern races over the sod. In Saturday's race he demonstrated his liking for the grass to the amazement of the 49,000 racing fans who had never seen him run over that surface before in the west. Coupled with Tall Chief II, Round Table went off at odds of 1-2 and he returned $3.10, $2.60 and $2.20 across the board. Eddie Schmidt, win ning a piece of a purse for the 20th straight time, returned $4.90 and $3.20 for place and show and Andrew Alan paid $3.10 for show. Sacramento Mas One. Week tLSmat To Make (Decision Phoenix, Ariz. -(UPD- The Pacific Coast league Saturday night voted to retain Leslie O'Connor as its president for the remainder of his contract which runs through the 1959 season and at the same time named his heir-apparent. The league also rejected a Sacramento Solon loan appli cation and issued an ultima tum for the present owner ship to either come up with a winner to join the "legion of good baseball towns" or get out of baseball. The directors named Dewey Soriano executive vice presi dent. A former Seattle general manager, Soriano will super vise promotional activities and umpires, paving the way for him to succeed O'Connor in 1960. O'Connor said he would retire from baseball then. Sacramento President Fred David admitted the directors placed him on the spot with their ultimatum. He said he would make all possible effort to meet their mandate. Discussion of the 1959 schedule is scheduled for the windup session of the meeting today. O'Connor told a press con ference that David had been advised he had just one week to decide wnetner the Solons could operate in the 1959 sea son. He told newsmen Sacra mento would not get a league loan because of the long rec ord of a losing proposition for the franchise in recent years. David told the directors it would take him a week to get the stockholders of the Sol ons to act on the ultimatum. Then he would advise the league whether he will still be in the baseball business or will give the PCL the option to handle the franchise as it sees fit. If the league has to pick up David's option and dispose of the franchise, the directors said they would spend 10 days' trying to find a buyer in Sacramento because they believed Sacramento is a good Coast league town.

Harman broke the loop rec ord for ( field goal accuracy Friday night as he sparked the Beavers to a 76-66 win over Washington State. He tried 14 shots and cashed in on 12 for an 85.7 per cent average. This broke the league record of 81.3 set only last week by another prob able all-coaster, Doug Smart of Washington. On ' Thursday, Harman meshed 33 to lead the Beav ers to a 87-84 win over Idaho. The twin wins left the Oregonians with a 4-3 league mark, good for a third place tie a scant game behind league-leading UCLA. First Half Best Harman, who added two free throws for 26 point to tal, unleashed most of his deadeye bombing in the first half to give the Beavers a 41-33 half-time bulge over the host cougars. WSC fought back gamely and tied the score . at 54 all until the Beavers tallied seven points in a row to ice the game. WSC came to within four points in the final period, 65-61, but never drew any closer as the Beavers added an extra 12 points and play ed keep-away till game's end. Cougar hook shot artist John Maras came closest to the Beaver ace, dropping in 20. Jim Woodland of OSC and Reed of the Cougars both scored 14, Harman started with a rusn. wis seven baskets in the first half were on seven tries. In fact, he dunked his first 10 baskets going well into the second half on 10 attempts. The victory put Oregon State in a third-place tie with Stanford, half a game behind league-leading UCLA. The Beavers have a 4-3 rec ord.. Woodland, with two free throws on two tries, brought his s e v e n-game conference record to 27 out of 29 free throw chances. could not sell the franchise there, then other cities would be open to bid. David gave some hint that he might be able to continue when he seconded a motion requiring all clubs to post a $25,000 performance bond not later than March 1. In essence, David was told to come up with a winner, which the directors believed would would again bring out Sacramento fans, or get out of baseball. Sacramento has finished in the second division for the past nine seasons. It is the on ly club in, the league without a working agreement with a major league team. The feeling among the di rectors, was that the loss of fan interest in Sacramento was not due to the invasion of major league baseball to nearby San Francisco, but was because of losing, color less clubs. ' David's proposition was not an easy one and he had one known outspoken critic in the person of Clyde Perkins, executive vice president of the Portland Beavers. Perkins had told newsmen at the luncheon break that Sacramento had good assets but operation of the franchise had been "lousy." He said Sacramento was a good baseball town and should be an asset to the league but it was not at pres ent. He also let it be known he would favor shifting the franchise to Tacoma, Wash. At Saturday's meeting, Da vid submitted to the directors his report to stockholders, dat ed Jan. 16. The report repre sented the balance sheet of the ball club at the close of business Oct. 31, 1958. Sacramento's team showed a profit of $44,689 as compar ed to a 1957 loss of $29,566. However, to realize the prof it, David said, "we must rec ognize the fact that the Na tional League Indemnity award of $150,000 was the contributing factor, oth erwise there would have been a loss of $105,310. David's profit and loss statement showed losses rang ing from $20,000 to $36,000 a year since 1955.

PHONE SP 3-6297 Seattle, Wash.-fUPD-Al Ul- brickson, often called the na tions number one rowing coach, Saturday announced his resignation as varsity coach of the University of Washington crews. Ulbrickson, now 55 and in his 32nd year as Washington's crew coach said he was quit ting because, he was simply emotionally exhausted and un able to face another rowing campaign. The Husky coach affection ately called the "Dour Dane" in his home area climaxed his coaching career on the reser voir in Moscow, Russia last summer, when his varsity eight whipped the champion sip Russian team, Trud Row ing Club of Leningrad. The tall, silver-haired Ul brickson, with the soldiers posture, told a new conference that the Moscow victory was even a greater thrill than when his Washington crew defeated Hitler's best rowers in the 1936 Olympic Games at Berlin. George Briggs, Washington's director of athletics said Freshman Coach Fil Leander son was taking over Ulbrick son's job effectively immedi ately. Ulbrickson said his plans were not too definite, "but I will stay close to the things I know, probably something in the boat sales line." He said he wants the kind of job where "I can leave it at five in the afternoon and not have to sleep with it all night." His smooth stroking crews have scored six varsity wins, five seconds, seven thirds, two fourts, and five fifts, in 19 trips to the Intercollegiate Rowing association regatta.
