Newspaper Page TextWEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 23. 1860 MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON A 7 Interleague Baseball Play Needs Only Approval by National Loop . By MILTON RICHMAN ' " New York - tUPIJ - National league owners indicated today ttiey will okay a revolution ary baseball plan that would 'prove a face - saver for the 'American league, a nioney ''maker for Walter O'Malley fmd an unexpected bonanza for the nation's fans. The plan, officially pro posed Tuesday by the Ameri can league, calls for both the 'AL and NL to expand to nine clubs In, 1961 and engage in inter league competition for the first time in the history of the game. Commissioner Ford Frick, National league preside'nt Warren Giles and O'Malley ''all have come out in favor of the proposal. So, of course, has the American league, which voted for it unanimous ly. Other NL owners - some of who already have endorsed T the plan in the past - must officially approve it by Dec. 5. If a hitch develops and they decide not to, the AL through . its president Joe Cronin, an nounced it will go ahead with its original idea of moving , into Los Angeles and fielding 10 teams for the forthcoming season. Expects No Trouble ' "I don't think we'll have 'any trouble," said co-owner Del Webb of the New York Yankees, who along with his 'partner, Dan Topping, present ed the nine-club, inter-league competition plan to O'Malley Tuesday following a meeting with Frick. That meeting preceded an other one at which Cronin and the AL owners, who seemed to have their backs against ' the wall, made their take-it-or; leave it proposition to the NL.

(UPI Telephoto) Detectives To Stay On Newhouse Probe Portland - lUPIl-David John son, Portland's newly-appointed police chief, said Tuesday the special five-man detective squad investigating the Oct. 16 wounding of Oregonian production manager Donald Newhouse will continue its probe until the case is solved. The squad was picked short ly after the shooting by the late Police Chief William J. Hilbruner and Detective Cnpt. O. K. Robinson. Newhouse was wounded on the night of Oct. 16 when a shotgun was fired through the basement window of his home. rived at the compromise plan after O'Malley demanded that certain conditions be met be fore an AL club could move in as a neighbor to his Dodgers. Webb seemed confident the NL would approve the AL plan. If O'Malley can convince the rest of his NL colleagues to vote the same way he will, it will mean that the Dodgers will operate alone in Los Angeles again next year, un encumbered by any possible competition from an American league club. Boon For Fans The inter -league competi tion, first broached by Hank Greenberg of the Chicago White Sox several years ago, will also prove a boon for the fans. It will mean a 166 - game schedule instead of the 154 game slate now in use. Each AL club, for example, would play each AL rival 14 times for a total of 112 games, and also play each NL club six times for a total of 54 games. If the NL votes for the plan, it will get the American league out of a ticklish posi tion. Privately, AL officials admitted they "might have moved too fast" when they okayed Washington's switch to Minneapolis-St. Paul, ap proved new franchises in Washington and Los Angeles and then announced they in tended to operate 10 clubs next year. The NL, on the other hand, will be faced with a problem of choosing between Houston, Tex., and New York if it de cides to go with nine clubs next year. Houston and New York already have been ap proved as new NL franchies but weren't supposed to start operating until 1962. Hockey United . Press International AMERICAN LEAGUE The Providence Reds may be on their way out of the American Hockey league sub- basement on the impetus of a second upset in a row over the second-place Quebec Aces. Zellio Toppazzini, now in his eighth season with the Reds, scored two goals, both assisted by Paul Larivee and Bob Becktt, in Tuesday night's 5-1 vitcory. The game was a shutout until the middle of the third period when goalie Ed Giacomin, who stopped 25 attempts, finally let one through. Providence needs at least four more points to overtake Rochester and Hershey which share fifth place. WESTERN LEAGUE Victoria scored three times in the first period to down Portland's Buckaroos 5-2 at Victoria Tuesday night in the Western Hockey League. George Ford scored two of the Cougars initial three goals In other WHL play, Edmonton downed Vancouver 4-2, and Calgary defeated Spokane, 8-2. Calgary is at Winnipeg in tonight's only game. PLANS SPECIAL TRAINS Philadelphia - (ITU - Twenty special trains, 11 of them from the New York Region of the Pennsylvania Railroad, will carry approximately 18 per cent of the 102,000 fans who will attend Saturday's Army-Navy game directly to Municipal Stadium. PLAYER RECALLED New York-il'PD-Defenseman John Hanna has been recalled from Springfield of the Amer ican Hockey League by the New York Rangers and will report to the team in time for Wednesday night's National Hockey League game with the Boston Bruins at Madison Square Garden, K Huskies Look To Beat in Hoop Race United Press International San Francisco -IUPD- Univer sity of Washington, which al ready has a Rose Bowl bid sewed up in football, looks like the team to beat also in western basketball circles this year. The Huskies, working out under Coach Johnny Garson, have an all-veteran team that has height, rebounding abil ity, speed and experience. Plus reasonable depth. But Washington will be no shoo-in for the Big Five crown. And there will be some tough .basketball pre sented by the other teams, in cluding Loyola in the West Coast conference and Oregon among the independents. But the days of cage supre macy at California, it seems, are gone for at least a year or two. The Golden Bears, with a 28-2 record last year, NCAA champion in 1959 and runner up in 1960, get a new coach in Rene Herrerias, and they lost the great Darrel Imhoff and the fine Tandy Gillis. No Illusions "We have no illusion about matching last season's great record," says Herrerias, who played for Pete Newell at USF and then acted as his as sistant at Cal last year. "The loss of Imhoff and Gillis hurts. And the- schedule is a bit tougher." Washington has the talent Earle Irvine, 6-4; and Roger Niva, 6-6, are the forwards; Bill Hanson, 6-8, is center, and Clint Names, 6-1, and Lyle Bakken, 6 ft., are the guards. The reserves will come mostly from sophomores and junior college transfers but they look capable. Down in the Southland, voacn forrest Twogood singing the blues.

Coach Bill Gardiner has his full line-up returning, led by leading scorer Larry Trunk. Oregon lost one of the best men in the west when Chuck Rask graduated, but Coach Steve Belko has a team of "The flavor has a lot of fans!'

The Webfoots went to the finals of the western regionals last year and could get that far again this time, or farther. There is a lot of tub-thump ing at Oregon State, too, where Coach Slats Gill is starting his 33rd season run ning the cage squad. The Bea vers have an all-veteran team to go on the floor, plus five other lettermen to back them up. Additionally, football star Terry Baker, leading scorer on the Freshman team, is ex pected to Join the club in another week or so. Seattle University, peren nial powerhouse in independ ent circles, is going to be strong again. We re ahead of last year's team," says Coach Vince Caz zetta.
