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.

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.

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.

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. If they

Harmon Breaks Accuracy
Recprd in OSC Triumph
By MIKE HUDSON
United Press International
Although it is a little early
to be picking the all Pacific
Coast Conference basketball
team, Oregon State's Lee Har
man seems to have nailed
down one spot already.
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.

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.
