One of these, tackle Steve Burnett, made the United Press International All West Coast team as a sophomore. The others have backed up regulars better than expected. Oregon's offense has combined Grosz's passing with the speedy running of halfbacks Dave Grayson and dynamic Cleveland Jones.

Williams told the subcom mittee Monday that he turned down the bribe offers. Three totaled $180,000, he testified, while the fourth was a "sub stantial amount." The fighter said Palermo advised him against taking the money in each case, but left the decision to Williams' "own judgment." Approached by Somebody On each occasion, he said, Palermo told him only that Odell Low Net In Sweepstakes Dr. Ralph Odell shot an even-par 72 for low gross prize in week end golf sweeps stakes at Rogue Valley Coun try club.

Main, Mfdkxd SP o-WJS Golf Pros Fearful of Gambling By HAL WOOD United Press International San Francisco - IUPD - Pro fessional golfers are getting fidgety. They fear that a gambling coup, such as rocked the base ball world 40 years ago, will touch their million-dollar tour and ruin the goose that lays the golden egg. The result is that a top golf professional, who has toured with the greats for nearly two decades, will propose a clause in the PGA by-laws that would "ban for life" any play er who "accepts a bribe or fails to report immediately a bribe attempt." The proposal will be intro duced at the next meeting of the Southern California Pro fessional Golf association and that group will be asked to en dorse the proposal and take it up at the next general meet ing of tlie PGA. Tlie man proposing the rig id ban knows what he is talk ing about. Bribe Attempts "I have sat with our play ers who have reported in de tail 'tank' approaches and subsequent developments in at least three states-all in the East," says the ex-tourist "Many tournaments feature the betting 'lines' on which people may wager. "Something messy is going to happen, sooner or later Such a resolution as I propose would free the PGA from pos sible criticism, place the re sponsibility directly on the players involved where it be longs. 1 can see no eartly rea son why any PGA member should object. ' The man proposes that any PGA member or PGA - ap proved tournament p 1 a y e who wagers on himself or an other player in a PGA co-spon sored tournament also should face a lifetime ban. It's easy to go along with the ban for golfers betting on other golfers against them selves. But 1 guess the reason for the plan to stop that is to halt betting altogether. Confident Golfers Betting on one's self seems to be the heart of the game of golf in the country club set these days. And the lads on the tour do it, too. It was only a few years ago that Al Besselink, at that time not too well known on the tour, is reported to have made a bundle betting on himself 1 the Las Vegas Tournament o Champions. Al saw his name listed as a 15-1 shot on the "morning line" and promptly bet a few bills-so the story goes. Then he won the tourna ment, collected the 10,000 sil ver dollars for first place; the usual 10 per cent of the big Calcutta, plus the big chunk from the wagering marts. The rest of the report that he left most of the mono In town on the tables. But was fun while it lasted.
