Point high who meet Brook

Saturday basketball games.
Short pulled down 33 re
bounds and scored 20 points
in two games last week.
Coach Dale Bates says that
Short is improving vastly on
defense and may prove the
key to Eagle success this
season.
Chisox Fielding
Average Best
Boston - IUPII - The Chicago
White Sox had the finest
glove men in the American
league this year but some
thing must have been missing
because the club finished a
disappointing fifth.
As a team, the White Sox
fielded .982 during the 1962
season and that figure was
tops in the American league,
according to official averages
released by league headquar
ters here.
Not only did the White Sox
post the highest percentage,
but they also came up with
four individual defensive lead
ers. FLYING A

Put Under
Observation
Napa, Calif. -IUPII- Eddie
Machen, top-ranked contender
for Sonny Liston s world
heavyweight boxing title, was
under observation at Napa
State hospital today as an
attempted suicide.
Machen, 30, was found In
a car Wednesday with a load
ed pistol and a suicide note,
according to the California
highway patrol. The CHP said
he was hospitalized for h i s
own protection.
Patrolmen said the boxer
was arrested near Crockett,
Calif. They quoted him as say
ing he was despondent and
did not want to live. The CHP
said he was not violent at
any time.
Machen, frequently men
tioned as a possible champion
ship opponent for Liston, was
recently ranked first among
heavyweight contenders by
the World Boxing association.
Sid Flaherty, manager of
Machen, was en route to Napa
from Billings, Mont.
"The last time I saw him
he appeared to be in good
spirits," said Flaherty. "We
all have our ups and downs
in this game, but I don't think
he had more than the average
fighter."

Anglers Asked
To Watch for
Marked Fish
Portland - As in past years,
Oregon anglers are urged to
be on the lookout this winter
for marked steelhead heading
into Oregon's coastal streams,
and are requested to report
any marked fish taken to the
Oregon game commission.
Alsea, Wilson and Sandy
river steelhead anglers are
advised to be especially alert,
since these streams are under
going special .study by the
commission.
Anglers will recognize
marked fish since one or more
of the fins will be missing.
The commission needs to
know where such fish are
caught, what day, and the
approximate size and weight
of the fish. Reports may be
forwarded to the game com
mission's Portland office,
any of the regional offices, or
reported to any commission
personnel. Information gath
ered from such studies is in
valuable in evaluating the
contributions of hatcheries to
the various stream systems.
It is important for anglers
to correctly name the missing
fins. A fin-clipping code is in
volved which enables biolo
gists of the game commission
to tell in what year and what
waters the fish was originally
released.
Mayor Credited
For Saying of
Gotham Bowl
New York - IPIt - A last
ditch move by Mayor Robert
F. Wagner of New York was
credited today with saving
Saturday's shaky Gotham
Bowl game between Miami
(Fla.) and Nebraska at Yan
kee Stadium.
Wagner took over the situa
tion personally Wednesday
when it was reported that Dr.
Henry King Stanford, presi
dent of the University of Mi
ami, was ready to withdraw
his school from Saturday's
game unless a financial guar
antee was made.
The mayor called Stanford
and assured him that $30,000
in expense money would be
put in escrow at the Bankers
Trust company here today.
In Miami, Athletic Direc
tor Jack Harding repeated
"the game is on" and said the
Hurricanes would leave for
New York by airplane today.
The Nebraska team is due
to leave Lincoln, Neb., Friday

Practices
On Offense
Phoenix - Improvement of
offense is the aim in Phoenix
High school basketball drills
this week as the Pirates pre
pare for a pair of week end
encounters.
Coach Eldon Durham said
that the Pirates are drilling
at moving the ball in for
shots, working on their fast
break and spending time on
full court pressing. There has
been a lot of rebound work.
Phoenix entertains Glide on
Friday and. goes to Brookings
on Saturday. There will be
junior varsity play each night.
Last week end Phoenix beat
Brookings 49 to 42 but bowed
to Glide 44 to 28.
Granby Turns Out
The Pirate squad was bol
stered Monday when Jon
Granby reported. Last season
he played junior varsity ball
and got some varsity experi
ence. Granby, a 190-pound 8-
footer, will put some beef in
the lineup. He could add tire
power. For at the end of the
slate last season he was hit
ting the hoop well. And, re
ported Durham, "He makes
us quicker."
Granby could be a starter
this week at a forward. This
move would put Dave John
son back to center. John Bar
ker could be at the other for
ward with Rick Bolz and Ron
Williams at guards. Jim Cons
bruck is expected to alternate
with the two guards.

Washington-flJPU-A plea by

SF Giants Already in Good Shape
By HAL WOOD
San Francisco - IUPII - Only
12 more days until Christmas
- and only about 70 until the
opening of spring training for

or not.
In fact, some of the Nation

middleweight champion Dick
Tiger of Nigeria and New

Tiger, 33, gels the Edward

achievements that included
the capture of Gene Fullmer's
160-pound title. Dick Is the
first African to win the award.
Stevens, 60, gets the James

1964," Kennedy said
The AAU, through its exec
utive director, was the first
to answer the President's
plea.
"We share the same con
cern as the President does
about weakening our Olym
pic team," said Col. Donald
F. Hull.
The AAU leader then chal
lenged Kennedy's statement
that the disputants are "put

those of the athletes" in their
controversy.

Games for yeasr," Hull said.
"We must comply with these
established rules because any
substerfuge or attempt to get
around them in some way
would not be a credit to the
athletes involved or to our
country."
NCAA Favort Arbitration
NCAA and U.S. Olympic
officials indicated they were
in favor of arbitration by
hailing the President's state
ment. Walter Byers, executive di
rector of the NCAA, said, "all

Stu Miller, the little relief
ace, is selling insurance and
hoping that he'll have a bet

of us . . . have been deeply
disappointed by the AAU's re
jection of the coalition agree
ment which was developed at
a meeting in New York City;
Nov. 12-13."
Byers added that "the
jection of these prin
ciples by the AAU marks the
second consecutive occasion
within a five-week period
that the AAU has repudiated
the principles of agreement
worked out by its own nego
tiation committees."
Said Kenneth L. (Tug) WIN
son, president of the U.S.
Olympic committee: "I heart
ily agree with the President s
statement that all efforts
must be made to settle tha
organizational disputes in
order that the United States
will be represented by its
strongest possible Olympia
team."
Wanted Differences Settled
At the New York meetings
last month, Wilson called to
gether the AAU and NCAA
officials to settle their differ
ences, which involve mainly
the control of track and field
athletes and their participa
tion in meets, including tha
Olympics.
With Attorney General
Robert Kennedy acting as an
unofficial mediator, the war
ring groups approved the for
mation of a coalition, which
would have called a halt to
their bickering at least until
the end of the 1964 Olympics.
However, before the coali
tion was ratified, the AAU
instituted action barring cer
tain runners who competed
In non-AAU meets, although
leaving the door open for
them to appeal.
This served to reopen tha
"war," and undoubtedly
prompted the President's
statement Wednesday.
