Gophers Seek To Prove They Deserve No. 1 Spot (The following it th. tint in ( tori! ol dispatches on th liBmi appearing in col leg football'! major bowl games,) By LES HAUSNER Minneapolis - flJPI) - Coach Murray Warmath and mem bers of his Minnesota football team accepted the bid to meet Washington in the Rose Bowl Jan. 2 for two good reasons. First, the Golden Gophers want to prove that they fully deserved their designation as the nation's No. 1 college foot ball team for the 1060 season. And, secondly, they are anxious to restore the pres tige of the Big Ten confer ence, which was badly weak ened when virtually the same Washington team shocked Wisconsin, 44-8, in the Rose Bowl last New Year's day. Warmath and his young gi ants believe that they can ac complish both alms if they win Impressively at Pasadena. Fullback Robbins Okay When the Gophers left Min neapolis for California last Saturday, Warmath was espe cially happy that fullback Tom Robbins had fully recov. ered for an early season knee injury and was able to join the traveling squad. Robbins last season was the Big Ten's leading punter and much of Monnesota s strategy is centered on kicking. Minnesota is so strong de fensively the Gophers often have kicked on third down simply to place the opponent in a hole. And, should Minnesota win the pre-game coin toss in the Rose Bowl game, the Gophers probably will elect to kick as they have done all season Plays such as these have dismayer some writers who like to describe wide open plays and thrilling gambles. But the fan who enjoys superb defensive football will find Minnesota a dream team. With All - America guard Tom Brown leading the way, the Minnesota line is the strongest In the nation. Brown weighs 243 pounds and tackle Frank Brixlus scales 250. The starting line averages 220 and the backficld, quar- terbacked by junior Sandy Stephens, 202 pounds, ncd Steve Mlnnecl.

Paul Sullivan, chairman of the NBA's world champion ship committee, said Harold Johnson of Philadelphia will fight either Ernie Schoeppner of Germany or Willie Pastra no of Miami Beach with the winner declared champion. The champion then must de fend within 00 days against the third man. Sullivan said the NBA will decide by Dec. 29 if Johnson, the No. 1 contender, will meet Pastrano (No. 4) or Schoepp ner (No. 3). The first cham pionship fight will be staged in late January or early Feb ruary. Cic Calderwood of Scotland also was asked to participate in the elimination, Sullivan said, but he failed to meet a Dec. 15 deadline for replying after being advised by the British boxing board of con trol not to take part. Three cities - Miami Beach, Philadelphia and New Orleans - reportedly have submitted bids to hold a Johnson-Pas-trano battle.

Mike Austin of the Medford parochial team with 11 points was the only player in double scoring figures. St. Mary's Coach Bill Mc Kibbln, hoping that his club would rouse up after a similar showing at Bandon the night before, did not go with his regular starting unit until the second half. He started four reserves. Cold shooting and ball han dling and . defense troubles plagued the Crusaders. Crater had 47 to 42 edge in retrieving the ball from the backboards. Dennis Edwards collected 13 rebounds for the Comets and Jeff Anhorn 11. Stan Traxler and Bill Chand ler had nine retrieves each for the Pirates.

Seal Owner Fagan Dies Hillsborough, Calif. - IUPII -Paul I, Fagan, the man who brought class to minor league baseball in a manner never seen before or since, died Sunday at the age . of 70. Fagan was a multimillion aire and he played his part to the hilt when he decided in 1845 to go into baseball, a game to which he hadn't paid much attention previous ly. He started by paying $250, 000 for a one-third interest in the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast League, a big money-maker in those days. Soon afterward he bought another third, and eventually bought another third, and eventually he gain ed complete ownership. Thus started a nine-year reign remembered as one of the most startling in baseball history. , Redmond Defeats EP Eagle Point-Redmond took charge on the strength of four quick second quarter baskets Saturday night and beat the Eagle Point high hoopsters 58 to 41 at Redmond. The Panthers headed 14 to 10 at the end of a nip and tuck first period. Eagle Point cut the gap to 16 to 14 but the Redmond club put In its rapid order counters and led 30 to 21 at the half.

Pittsburgh Nabs Titles In Hitting Cincinnati (UPD Pitching is suupposed to be 75 per cent of baseball, but the Pittsburgh Pirates won the National league pennant practically on hitting alone. That's what the official bat ting averages, released at league headquarters here, in dicated today, anyway. Led by shortstop Dick Groat, who won the league's batting crown with a .325 average, the Pirates swept virtually every title in the hitting department. They paced the league in team batting with .276 as com pared with .265 compiled by the runnerup Milwaukee Braves, and also led in runs batted in 689; hits 1,493; total bases 2,201; doubles 236, and runs scored 734. TraiUd In Homers The only important depart ment in which the Pirates were not first was home runs The Braves were high with 170. The Pirates hit 120. Outside of Groat and Lar ker, only three other regulars managed to hit .300. Willie Mays of San Francisco was third with .319. Roberto Cle- mente of the Pirates fourth with .314 and Ken Boyer of St. Louis fifth with .304. Banks Homer Leader Shortstop Ernie Banks of Chicago led in home runs with 41, and Hank Aaron of Mil waukee drove in the most runs, 126, and hit for the most total bases, 334. It was the fourth straight ' year that Aaron finished first in total bases. Mays' 190 hits were tops in that department. The per capita expenditure on highways and rural roads in Canada in 1958 was $45, compared with $43 the pre vious year.

South Eu gene jammed the area close to the basket. Medford could n't find the range from out side to unchoke this stiff de fense and had trouble on shots that were obtained within close range. - The Tornado, with tall vet eran Bob Quinney seeing only 12 minutes of duty because of a badly cut tongue suffered the night before, made only nine field buckets in 52 tries for .173 average.

Bo Blair with 21 counters and Dave Tobey and Don DuShane with 13 each were the big guns for the Axemen who collected 21 field goals in 44 shots. Personal fouls in the early part of the fracas hampered the Medfordites. Medford's Quinney had only limited duty because of lack of sleep and inability to eat after the injury.
