10 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. Friday, Jan. 22, 1960 UedfoiuvTubuns Littler, Knight Set Crosby Links Pace Pebble Beach Calif. - (EPD -It's man against the elements as the second round of the S50.000 ' Bing Crosby Clam bake got underway today on three storm - plagued golf courses. As the lads teed off, hoping for something better than the rain and 50 - mile - an - hour winds they had Thursday, two NFL East Block Offers Czar Deal By NORMAN MILLER Miami Beach, Fla. -(LTD- An Eastern bloc that has stead fastly prevented the election of Marshall Leahy as Nation al Football league commis sioner offered a compromise proposal today that Austin Gunsel be given the job on a one-year "trial" basis. If this move failed, it ap peared unlikely that the bick ering owners could decide upon a successor to Bert Bell during the present meeting. In that case, Gunsel would continue to serve as interim head of the NFL for another year. Art Rooney. president of the Pittsburgh Steelers, said he would propose the election of uunsei on a snort - term basis when the owners re convene today. George Preston Marshall of the Washington Redskins, Car roll Rosenbloom of the Balti more Colts and Frank Mc Namee of the Philadelphia Eagles were the other owners behind Gunsel. George Halas of the Chi cago Bears, who has abstained from voting in the last sev eral ballots of this strife-torn election, originally was a Gunsel backer. There were reports that Mrs. Walter Wolfner, president of the Chi cago Cardinals, was ready to join the Gunsel camp in an effort to resolve the two-day stalemate. Nine votes were necessary for the election to the office held by Bert Bell from 1946 until his death last Oct. 11. Leahy, the home-loving, 49-year-old San Francisco Forty Niners' attorney, had six or seven votes on the 14th or 15th ballot, depending upon varying sources in this most confused of NFL meetings.

SP 3-9185 men were in the drivers' seats - Gene Littler and Dick Knight. Surprisingly, both lads are from San Diego where bad weather is just something that happens someplace else. Knight and Littler, with the benefit of playing on the slightly wind-protected Mon terey Country club course Thursday, had five-under-par 67s - and that was three strokes better than anyone else in the field. There were three other Californians at 70 - Paul O'Leary, Ken Venturi and Tommy Jacobs. And six men at 71. But after that the scores sky-rocketed all out of pro portions, with some fine pro fessionals shooting in the 90s The great shotmakers of the world had their troubles. National Open champion Billy Casper had a 74. National PGA champ Bobby Rosburg had a whopping 84. Former National Open Champions Dr Cary Middlecoff and Lloyd Mangrum each had 77. Los Angeles Has First- Indoor Track Session Los Angeles - HTD - A ca pacity crowd tonight gives the first indoor track meet ever held in Los Angeles a financially successful sendoff thanks to the presence of world, Olympic and national champions in every event. The Los Angeles Invitation al indoor meet was sold out at mid-day Thursday and meet director Herschel Smith said a crowd of 13,200 will witness the 12-event program.

J Two Confess To Portland Burglaries Portland -(UPD- Two men arrested here Thursday con fessed to seven burglaries in the Portland Heights area, po lice said. Charged with burglary were Alvin Lavern Gooding, 29, and Larry Fellows, 21, both of Portland. By HAL WOOD Pebble Beach, Calif. -!UPD-Professional tennis impresario Jack Kramer loves amateur tennis - but he is ready for a declaration of "open warfare" if the Simon-Pures go through with a plan advanced by Jean Borotra of France. While the four major tennis nations of the 'world - Aus tralia, England, France and United States - consider plans for adopting open tennis tour naments by no later than 1961, Borotra has dropped a time bomb into the future of the game. "He proposes that one ama teur player each year be al lowed to dicker with tennis promoters for all the expense money he can get," says Kra mer. "In other words, he would still be considered an amateur even if he got 82,000 appearance money' for a tournament and was eliminat-1 ed in the first match. Personal Affront "I would consider this a per sonal affront - an attempt to put me out of business. Kramer is all in favor of the open tennis tournaments but thinks that the limitations proposed that call for only one open event in each of the "big four" countries each year is not right. "There are few places an open tennis tournament could be made to pay off," says Jack. "But where the facilities are available and the interest keen, I think there should be open tourneys. "In the United States, the only places right now where an open tourney would pay off are in New York (Forest Hills) and Los Angeles. Space Needed You have to hold the events outdoors because you need more than one court." Other places that would make good spots for open tourneys, says Kramer, are: Australia - Brisbane, Ade laide, Sydney, and Melbourne. England - Wimbledon and possibly the indoor Wembley Stadium. France Paris. Italy - Rome and eventual ly Milan. Japan - Tokyo. Africa Johannesburg. West Germany Berlin and Hamburg. India - Calcutta. Philippines Manila. Argentina - Buenos Aires. Kramer thinks there should be "at least" 15 "open" tour naments every year - and that way there would be a true world champion selected each season. Lippy Favors More Ump Pay Haverhill, Mass. -(UPD Leo Durocher, who earned the nickname "Lippy" through more than 25 years of umpire baiting as a major league player and manager, Thurs day night switched sides and labeled the arbiters' salary scale "disgraceful." Durocher, speaking at the annual Haverhill Journal baseball dinner, said, "umpir ing is one of the loneliest jobs in the world. They are prac tically slaves and yet their pay is disgraceful." The former manager of the old Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants said umpires "are not even included in a pension fund. They should re ceive at least $15,000 a year for their jobs." SIGNS WITH CHARGERS Los Angeles (UPD Jack Faulkner, top assistant to Coach Sid Gillman with the Los Angeles Rams, today was signed as his former chief's assistant with the Los Angeles Chargers of the new Ameri can Football league.

HOCKEY NATIONAL LEAGUE United Press International Take it from the New York Rangers-don't get the Mon treal Canadiens mad at you.
