Webfoots who had a 7-2-1 regular season record

A Ma kpv to the Webfoots' success has been a group of
linemen labeled "the young bulls." One of these, tackle Steve
Burnett, made the United Press International All West Coast

better than expected.
Oregon's offense has combined Grosz's passing with the
speedy running of halfbacks Dave Grayson and dynamic
Cleveland Jones.
The Webfoots have relied a lot on wide stuff, including
the double reverse, but Casanova said "we plan to ana some

Palermo faces Committee
By NORMAN G. CORNISH
United Press International
Washington-IUPII-Senate in
vestigators hoped today to
knock Philadelphia numbers
king Frank (Blinky Palermo
off his reputed throne as
stand-in boxing czar of the
underworld.
Palermo has been named
in previous testimony as the
"custodian" of power once
held by racketeer Frankie

prison.
Palermo laced stern ques

Sen. Estes Kcfauver, (D-Tenn.).
The investigators hoped to
pry from the hoodlum details
of the four big bribe offers

veteran, managed by Palermo
since 1947, told the subcom
mittee that two ol the onue
offers were for championship
fights.

ranking heavyweight contend
er, Charles (Sonny) Liston.
Previous testimony has named
them as his behind-the-scenes
managers.
Liston, originally slated to
testify Monday, now is sched
uled to follow Palermo to the
witness stand.
The Senate group hoped the
glare of publicity on Paler
mo's alleged underworld role
in boxing would destroy his
power by alerting state and
city athletic commissions to
the fighters and managers
linked with him.
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."

On each occasion, he said,
Palermo told him only that

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.

nied a report that his players
wrecked their dressing room
at Perth after losing to Italy
the inter-zone final Mon

"The guys did engage in
a little roughhouse but the
only damage was two small

which would cost about $2.80
to fix," Freed said.
The whole thing was
blown out of proportion," he
added. "As a matter of fact
when we arrived in Perth
I had to ask officials to clean
out our dressing room, which
was a mess."
Smash Windows
