The former champion aired his views in a letter published in the Los Angeles Examiner today, explaining why he thought the title bout should be staged here. "New York has had its great day as a sports center," Demp- sey said, xne evidence is clear in my mind. New York has given way before the tre mendous advance of Los An geles. It will give even more ground in the future." Dempsey went on to say that from the discussion arous ed by the Patterson-Johansson bout he felt it was a "natural" and he described Los Angeles as "a natural sports town." "What I'm getting at is that these two naturals belong to gether ... I know that if I were young Bill Rosensohn, the promoter of the bout, I would be drooling at the vi sion of 75,000 to 100,000 peo ple storming the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to take a look at Patterson and Johans son."

"Jack Gardner, U t a h's coach, took his regulars out with nine minutes to play and kept them out even while we were making up ground," the matter-of-fact Woolpert said. "Utah might have won by a larger margin if he had kept his starters in." Seattle Belter Balanced Woolpert pegged Seattle above the Utes, saying that the Chieftains were better balanced. Pete Newell of California and Bob Feerick of Santa Clara, who engaged in a con troversial basketball game Saturday night, indicated to day there were no hard feel ings. Newell opened the contest with his substitutes and let them play the first 10 min utes. Feerick also put his subs in for the same period and was known to be nettled by the Bear mentor's strategy. But all was sweetness and light Monday in the wake of Cal's 66-55 win. "Pete's entitled to do what he wants with his team," Feerick told the scribes. "I've got nothing to say. The inci dent is not worth an argu ment." Close Game Feerick added that "it turned out to be a hell of a game before we were finished and Cal is the best team we've played all season." Newell then praised George Gardiner of the Broncs, who tallied 18 points against Cal ifornia and was named a "Player of the Week." "He was putting in the clutch baskets against us," Newell said.

"We must get at least a split," he said of his Bears who currently trail front running UCLA by a half game in the Pacific Coast conference. "If we drop two games we probably only could afford to lose one more and still have a chance of taking the championship." Paul Newmann of Stanford and Denny Fitzpatrick of Cal ifornia joined Gardiner in the Player of the Week niche.

Philomath, Elston Moward Gets Ruth' Award (From Reporters United Press International Elston Howard, whose fifth game catch proved to be the turning point of the 1958 World Series, will make an all-out bid this year to replace Yogi Berra as the New York Yankees regular catcher. "I'm a much better ball player, when I'm catching," said Howard after signing a new contract estimated at $25,000 Monday. "I get strong er as I go along when I'm catching. But after I've been catching a while and then shift to the outfield, I'm shaky." The 29-year-old Howard, who played 67 games behind the plate last season, 24 in the outfield and five at first base, was chosen by the New York baseball writers Monday for the Babe Ruth Award as the outstanding player of the 1958 World Series -in which he starred as an outfielder. But even so he is a stern crit ic of himself as an outfielder. Worries In Outfield "When I go to the outfield, I worry a little about doing a good job," Howard explain ed Monday. "I have a tend ency to get a bad jump on fly balls. So far' I've been lucky not to mess up too many. Some one asked Howard if his desire to be a catcher meant that Berra would have to be shifted to the outfield. "I guess that's the way it would have to be," he said. "I'm not trying to manage the team. I think there's room for both of us on the club." Montreal-WPD-The Montreal Alouettes of the Eastern divi sion of the Canadian Foot ball league have announced the signing' of Art String Johnson, Michigan State half back, to a 1959 contract.

Insert ed as a replacement for left- fielder Norm Siebern, who had messed up three fly balls the previous day, Howard made a diving catch of a short fly by Red Schoendenist and turned it into a double play. One inning later the Yankees scored six runs and went on to win, 7-0. An Exemplary Athlete Howard hit .314 last season- a 71-point rise over his 1957 mark.
