JUST ARRIVED! Pipe Racks and Humidors PIPE sPdDimrs Spalding Seeks Better Contract for Baseballs Boston - (UPD - The firm which has always made all the baseballs for the major leagues , today was having trouble getting to first base in a bid for a new and more lucrative contract. Edwin Parker, president of A. G. Spalding & Brothers Inc., of Chicopee, said in New York Wednesday his firm had asked to be released from their contract effective Dec. 1, 1961 because it was a losing proposition. American League President Joe Cronin and National League President Warren Giles appeared in no hurry to either release the Spalding firm on to negotiate a new pact. "Still In Fore" "As far as Mr. Giles and I are concerned," Cronin said here, "the contract Is still in force. We haven't taken any action on this matter yet and we don't plan to immediate ly." Giles, contacted in Cincin nati, also said there would have to be considerable dis cussion before Spalding was given a new pact. The National league head said Spalding was awarded Mississippi's Big, Fast, Well-Tutored (The following is another of a scries on the teams ap pearing in the major bowl games the Rose. Cotton. Sugar, Orange and Gator.) By LEWIS LORD United Press International Oxford, Miss. (UPD Missis sippi s rugged Rebels will greet Rice in the Sugar Bowl with a team possibly as strong the Ole Miss crew which inflicted a 21-0 punishment upon LSU in last January's New Orleans classic. The unbeaten Rebs are big, fast and well-tutored. There is so much talent throughout the squad that veteran coach John Vaught frequently has third-stringers playing aside starters, even in the few in stances when the going is tough. Only once this year was Mississippi's record marred. Rival LSU, intent on aveng ing its Sugar Bowl drubbing, caught the Rebels when they were nursing more injuries than in any other weekend in recent years. Three starters were benched and four other first-teamcrs, including All America quarterback Jake Gibbs, were operating at well loss than full speed. Vaught figures he was lucky to got out with a 6-6 tic. Best Defense Performance Rice can't expect to find Ole Miss in such a vulnerable position Jan. 2. The Rebels closed , their regular season with lop-sided wins over Ten nessee and Mississippi State and should be in continued good form against the Owls. The Old Mlis defense turned in what the NCAA service bureau called the best performance of the year in college football total offense. But most Rebel followers con sider Ole Miss better on of fense. The man who makes the Rcb attack go is Gibbs, a na tural athlete who turned down up to $75,000 in base ball offers to continue as Vaught's No. 1 quarterback. An authentic triple-threat, Gibbs is an outstanding pun ter, an elusive runner and a passer competent enough to have completed 28 of his 32 most recent tosses. As usual, Vaught has a big team. The starting line ave rages 219 pounds per man and the second-unit line is only six pounds per player lighter. The starting backficld boasts a 199-pound average and the second backs average 190 pounds. Still Has Speed Still; Ole Miss has outstand ing team speed. Such big fel lows as Bobby Crcspino (211 pounds), Johnny Brewer (230) and George Blair (195) all possess the speed of a sprinter. Line mainstays ' for the Southeastern conference champions are Brewer, an A1I-SEC end, tackles Bob Benton and Jerry Brown, guards Richard Price and Treva Bolin, field goal-kick & GIFT SHOP 36' i Se. Centtil SP 2-247 Midferd, Ore. the present contract in com petitive bidding and it will not expire until 1967. Parker said that in the early days of baseball the game needed a subsidy "and I suppose our company was the logical one to subsidize the game. We feel baseball has outgrown the need, however." Supplies Free Balls Parker explained that Spalding supplies thousands of baseballs to each club free of charge each year. In ad dition, each team buys bails from the firm at approximate ly cost price. The amount of balls purchased represents about 20 per cent of the num ber given away free, Parker said. He indicated he believed the company and the major leagues were in a position of needing each other. He said baseball officials could give the contract to another firm, but this would nullify all rec ords made with a Spalding ball. That Includes every rec ord since major league base ball began. Parker said that no other company can make the same ball, even by using the same raw materials. Gridders ing center Allen Brown, and Ralph Smith, a tank-tough de fensive end. Accompanying Gibbs in the backfleld are halfbacks Blair and Crespino and fullback Jim (Hoss) Anderson. Vaught has described Blair as the best defensive back he ever coached, and all-pro safety man Jimmy Patton of the New York Giants is a former Vaught pupil. Crespino, at 6-foot-4, is regarded by pro scouts as a top pass receiving prospect. The Rebels, who are train ing for the Sugar Bowl on their campus in the north Mississippi hill country, will be making their fifth bowl ap pearance in as many years They won each of, the pre vious four. Hofstra Climbs In Collegiate Basketball Poll New York (UPD Hofstra, a Long Island school which has lived in the athletic shadows of its big city neighbors, moved Into a challenging po sition behind Tennessee State A&I today in the United Press International small col lege basketball ratings.

For the second straight year, Banks led all shortstops in the league in fielding dur ing 1960 with a .977 average. Dick Groat of Pittsburgh, the runncrup, was far back with 966. Yet, before Lou Boudreau quit as Cub manager last Oc tober, he announced plans for switching Banks to first base in 1061. Several other mem bers of the Cubs also feel Banks would be more suited at first base than shortstop be cause his arm apparently isn't too strong. Three Cub Leaders Banks was one of three Cub fielding leaders. Dick Ells worth paced the league's pitchers b y handling 4 1 chances without an error for a perfect 1.000 average and Bob Will was among the three top outfielders with a .922 percentage. Curt Flood of St. Louis finished one point higher than Will with a .993 average while Gus Bell of Cincinnati and Ken Walters of Philadelphia wound up tied for third with identical marks of .988. Bill Mazeroski, hero of Pitts burgh's World Series triumph over New York, was far and away the best fielding second baseman with his .989 aver age, and Jim Davenport of San Francisco led the third basemen for the second straight season with a per centage of .961. Adcock Best at First Big Joe Adcock of Mil waukee barely shaded Norm Larkcr of Los Angeles for honors at first base. Adcock's fielding average was .9932 and Larker's .9930. Smoky Burgess of the Pi rates wound up the top de fensive catcher in the league for the first time in his career. He had a .994 percentage. In team fielding, Los An geles finished first by the nar rowest possible margin over Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, who were tied for second. The Dodgers compiled a .9791 av erage while the Pirates and Rods each fielded .9790. The Giants wound up last on defense with a .972 per centage. WKDNKSDAV BOUT Pntornon. N.J.

A total of two fistfuls of deserving Olympians have been nominated for the award. Each one would honor it and yet, of the 10 candidates, the feeling here is that the man who won the toughest event of them all-after helping to coach his chief opposltlon-is a stickout. That would be, of course, Olympic decathlon champion Rafcr Johnson. - In an Olympic year, it is no surprise that all the nomi nees should have sprung from the lists of the international games.

Trailing, 2-1, with little more than a minute left In the game, the Rangers yanked goalie Gump Worsley and sent six men down the ice. Andy Hebenton, one of the six, flick ed in a 25-footer 39 seconds before the buzzer sounded to earn New York the tie. Chicago defensesman Al Arbour was in the penalty box at the time and Hebenton's goal not only snapped a two- game losing streak, but also enabled the Rangers to climb within five points of the fourth-place Hawks.

He also helped coach the man who finished second, formidable C. K. Yang of Formosa and his one-time classmate at UCLA. This un selfishness alone would grace the Sullivan Award.
