the same Thursday night.
Glendale, scheduled to play
Hawkinson Tire of Medford
here, asked for a postpone

tions which made it difficult
to travel. The postponement
was granted and the game
will be made up at a later
date.
League representatives will
meet at the Medford hotel at
2 p.m. Sunday in an attempt
to iron out other troubles,
brought about when Grants

will be made to merge Big Y,
willing to sponsor a team but
lacking players, and Grants
Pass, having players but no
sponsor, according to League
President Harry Chipman.
A playing schedule revision
probably will be necessary if
representatives approve the
merger, it was stated.

California Boxing
Organization Bolts
Sacramento, Calif.-(lTR)-Cal-ifornia,
blasting the National
Boxing association for al
leged failure to crack down
on hoodlums in the fight
game, seceded today from the
NBA.
Jack W. Urc'n, executive
officer of California's five
man commission, said Thurs
day his group had bolted be
cause the NBA "wouldn't even
declare themselves against
sin" when asked to rid boxing
of the "hoodlum influence."
The state, which handled
approximately 30 per cent of
last fiscal year's boxing busi
ness, thus joined New York
and Massachusetts beyond the
plane of the NBA.
Urch said that the commis
sioners voted on Wednesday
to resign but had been con
sidering a withdrawal for two
years.
Another Group Planned
He added that there is a
need for a national regulatory
organization and that Cali
fornia and several other states
were studying plans for one.
The commissioners declared
in a formal statement that
"the public deserves and must
have boxing untainted by
hoodlum influence."

Urch said that Frankie Car
bo and Gabe Genovese, who
were convicted in New York
ast year for undercover man
aging, were examples of the
problems involved.
Commissioner Douglas Hay
den said in San Francisco that
"we felt the NBA could have
taken a firmer stand on such
things as alleged racketeering
and suggested time and again
that it appoint such a group
to investigate it. And so far
nothing has happened."
Hayden indicated that Utah,
Arizona, Oregon and Wiscon
sin, all NBA members, might
join California as a new su
pervisory unit.
OTI Takes On
Portland State
Klamath Falls - The Ore
gon Tech Owls will swing
into Oregon Collegiate con
ference action this week end
in a two-game series against
Portland State at Portland.
Games are tonight and Sat
urday. Regular forward, Jim Ram
seyer, will be out of action
for an indefinite period be
cause of a badly sprained
ankle. Otherwise, the Owl
squad is in good condition to
begin Conference play.
The Owl team will enter
the Portland State series as
definite underdog on the basis
of pre-league play. Yet, Wally
Palmberg discusses the 1 win
to 6 losses pre-season record
without any apparent thought
of a crying towel. "Much of
the success in this season's
conference games will depend
upon how well our freshman
players perform," Palmberg
said. "Portland State, the last
season's conference cham
pions, have quite a few re
turning players but we'll try
to handle them." The teams
are about a draw height-wise
so man-to-man differences will
tell the final story.

The kings of Pacific Coast
basketball and a few serious
pretenders to their crowns
square off this week end in
a cage battle royal.
West Coast Athletic con
ference favorite Santa Clara
faces an especially tough test
as it journeys south to face
Pepperdine and Loyola in the
Los Angeles Sports Arena.
The Broncs have earned
the league favorite role by
compiling a 10-3 pre-season
record including a win over
COP in the league opener.
But Pepperdine is a veteran
club about ready to jell, while
the soph - studded Loyolans
corralled the Broncs in the
finals of the West Coast Ath
letic tournament last month
and could be the league's sur
prise this season. USF also
journeys south and reverses
foes with the Broncs.
