Johnny Podres, who inherited a 1-0 lead from Art Fowler in the fifth inning was hammered for six runs and seven hits in three innings. Braves Blast Cards The Milwaukee Braves, smarting under charges that they were loafing in spring training, took it all out on the St. Louis Cardinals with a 15-hit attack that produced a 12-2 triumph. Hank Aaron's three-run homer and four hits by Del Rice sparked the as sault while Carlton Willey and Bob Rush limited the Cardinals to six hits. Chuck Cottier handled 13 chances flawlessly to further his bid for the, Braves' regular second-base job. Hows furnish the western repre sentative. The AAWU and the tourna ment association acted while the Big Ten still had under consideration extension of the closed agreement for the New Year's Day classic beyond the 1960 games. Dr. Frank Kudner, chair man pro-tem of the AAUW and faculty representative of the University of California, joined with Tournament of Roses President Raymond A. Dorn in announcing the new agreement. Stanfc-'d Eligible The new conference at pres ent is composed of California, UCLA, Southern California and Washington, but Stanford University, which participated in discussions leading to its organization, still is elegible for charter membership. Dr. Kidner and Dorn said the .western representative would come from members of the AAWU, which ruled out selecting anyone outside the AAWU to represent it in the Rose Bowl. Both spokesmen said the agreement visualized the same terms as in the past with the PCC, which meant that a team would be eligible only once in two years. The agreement vzs an nounced before the AAWU officially came to life, it was understood, in order to give Big Ten advocates of the Rose Bowl game the argument that an organized group of top ranking Western universities was the host conference. Big Ten faculty representa tives had voted in favor of continuation of the Rose Bowl agreement last month, but the final vote does not come for another month.

The serious-minded student of golf pounded out a 73 Mon day on the wind-blown, rain soaked Cape Fear Country Club course to add $2,000 to his status as golf's top money winner. He now has won $18, 814 so far this year. The Pocono Manor, Pa., pro's 73 was one stroke over par 72, but his 72-hole .total of 282 was six strokes off par and more than enough to give him a comfortable margin over his closest opponents. Making a last-round bid for the championship was his for ber Duke University room mate, Mike Souchak of Gros singer, N.Y. Souchak closed down Wall's Sunday five stroke lead to three with a 3( on the front nine while Wall had a 38. Souchak picked up S1.500 for second prize. Dow Finster wald of Tequesta, Fla., closed with a brilliant 68 and a 72 hole 287 for the $1,200 third place money. Bert Weaver of Beaumoi..1, Tex., with a final round of 72 for 290 was fourth and took away $1,000. Defending champion Howie Johnson of San Marcos, Calif., played his second straight poor round but won $400 fifth place money with a 296. . Fuelers Get Lone Lead In Shoot A "combination shoot" is billed for next week end at Medford Gun club. A Southern Oregon Elks Invitational Fun shoot is set for Saturday and a Pacific In ternational Trpshooting as sociation registered program will be fired on Sunday. In shotgunning last Sunday Harold Reichstein's Fuelers took over lone lead in the Elks lodge spring trapshooting tourney and the Medford Gun club turned in scores of 73 for the Oregon Journal Tele graphic trapshoot and 64 for the Northwest Spokesman Re view telegraphic skeet tourn ey. In the local Elks tourney the Fuelers collected 12 points to boost their total to 28. However, the biggest gain on the second leg of the eight Sunday meet was made by Pete Petrahm's Crap Shoot ers. Petrahm's gang, which gained only one point on the first Sunday, got 20 on the second time out to pull into third spot with 21. Top All Calgories The Crapshooters were first in attendance with 12 gun ners for 10 points and first in high score and high five for five markers each. They had a 420 total score and 231 high five. Fuelers got all second spots with attendance of nine, team total of 338 and high five count of 216. All third places went to Dick Phair's Swivel Hips. They had eight shooters, 307 total and 215 high five for eight points for the day and total 24 for sec ond position after two Sun day's firing. Frank Perl's Feather Dust ers with five gunners on hand went pointless. They had sev en for the opening round. There were 34 shooters in the Easter activity Max Kul be, Loyd Langston and Henry Niedermeyer, were high scor ers with 48 out of 50 each. In the Journal Telegraphic Don Peterson broke 25 straight and George Jantzer and Niedermeyer each 24. In the skeet wire event Ray Cole man contributed 23, B e r t Peck 22 and Dr. Arthur An derson 19. Williams May Start Boston-OJPD-Red Sox slug ger Ted Williams remained hopeful today that he would be in Boston's opening day lineup, but physicians attend ing him did not share his op timism. The 40-year-old American league batting champ entered New England Baptist hospital Monday to begin treatments for a painful neck ailment. Dr. Charles A. Fager, neu rosurgeon at the famed Lahey clinic, a part of the hospital, decided to hospitalize Wil liams Monday after viewing x-rays of the injury. Though Ted stoutly main tained that he would be "back" for opening game, consulting physicians indicat ed treatments would take 10 days to two weeks at the very least. There appeared to be little hope . that he would make it for Boston's first game. Tobacco is the most import ant crop of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, Tea ranks second. LAID UP Rookie outfielder Ed Hass of the Milwaukee Braves stares glumly at broken right ankle, which has him confined in hospital at Bradenton, Fla. Hass broke his ankle when he crashed into the outfield fence in a game with the St. Louis Cardinals. Medforp&Tribune son Calhoun San Francisco -(UPD- As far as Rory Calhoun is concerned, Carl (Bobo) Olson can beat Archie Moore for the world light-heavyweight title tomor row as long as referee Pete Morelli is on hand to help him. Olson, 174V4, pounded out a grueling 10-round decision over Calhoun, 168V4, Monday night at the Cow Palace to win his fourth fight in as many starts of a comeback attempt. The former middleweight champion had the free swing ing Calhoun down from a left hook for what Morelli said was a five count in the sev enth round and rocked the White Plains, N. Y., boxer in the second and fifth heats. But Calhoun, who also was docked two points for low blows, thinks that Morelli went a long way toward help ing Olson post a unanimous decision. Referee Blamed "Every time I'd try and start to punch the referee would tell me to watch it or something," Calhoun said af terward. "I never fought with such an official around be fore in my 46 other fights. Giants To Meet Cleveland Club Phoenix, Ariz. - (UPD - San Francisco's Giants, licking wounds received when the Cubs beat them 10 to 8, go to Tucson today to try their luck against Cleveland. San Francisco sends Johnny Antonelli to the mound against the Indians in hopes of recouping its defeat at the hands of Chicago Monday, and evening its Cactus League tally at 10 to 10. The Giant played bravely, with three run spurts in both the third and sixth frames, including a bases-loaded hom er by Willie McCovey in the sixth. Eddie Bressoud, Jackie Brandt and Bob Speake, pinch - hitting for Paul Giel, also clouted round trippers for the Giants. But their ef forts were for naught as Chicago knocked three San Francisco pitchers out of the box. Manager Bill Rigney moan ed that his pitching supply was not up to the snuff need ed for a new season only 10 days away. On the other hand the Cubs thought their hitting was downright fancy. ITo Meet M SUB-BIDS & MATERIAL QUOTES REQUESTED Construction of Residence No. 1027 STAR RANGER STATION Republic Construction & Engineering Co. 238 N.E. OREGON ST. PORTLAND 12, OREGON BEImont 2-3273 utpoints in Ring; oore Sure, Olson will beat Moore tomorrow if that referee is in there." Billy Newman, Olson's ebul lient manager, said that Moore had verbally agreed to defend his 175-pound title again against Olson this De cember. In the meantime, the balding Hawaiian is leaving for a two-weeks vacation in Honolulu then is supposed to have a couple of tuneup fights before the Moore re match. " Ancient Archie flattened Olson in three rounds in their previous, title encounter in 1955. Judge Eddie James voted Monday's verdict to Olson 98 to 93. Judge Matt Zidich voted 96 to 93, and Morelli counted it 95 to 93. The UPI saw it 97 to 94 for the winner. Olson Protests Olson didn't waste any time protesting over some of Rory's borderline shots to the mid section and looking in dis tress to Morelli during the third and sixth rounds. But despite all the extra squab bling, it still was Olson's fight. He started slowly, then opened up from the fourth round through the eighth to pile up a good margin. In the second round, Olson came out of his shell and sent Calhoun into the ropes with a stiff left hook to the jaw. He dropped Rory in" the sev enth with a left hook which Calhoun claims never actually landed. Bobo also showed that he can take a punch, although he is supposed to have a glass jaw. Calhoun nailed him with a right haymaker to the chin in the fifth and Olson stepped in to rock Rory with a counter blast to the same place. The fight was witnessed by 11,246 fans and grossed $58, 245.
