Two of the coast's biggest
and best centers have it out to
night at Portland when Cali
fornia takes on Oregon State
in what figures to be a bril
liant semi-final game in the
Far West Classic tournament.
California looked like the
national champs of not so
long ago Thursday night when
the Bears disposed of another
great West Coast club, Seattle
85-77, in overtime.
Eddie Miles of Seattle hit
33 points and set a tourney
record with 14 field goals, but
the Chiefs just couldn't han
dle big Camden Wall of the
Bears.
Wall has been out for a
month with a knee injury but
returned Thursday night and
turned in his most brilliant
performance ever. He scored
27 and pulled down 15 re

Brisbane, Australia (UPD
Rod Laver bowed out of ama
teur tennis by helping Aus
tralia complete a 5-0 sweep
over Mexico today in the Dav
is Cup challenge round.
The 24-ycar-old southpaw,
who will announce Saturday
night that he is turning pro
fessional for a $110,000, three
year contract, turned back An
tonio Palafox, 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 8-6,
after Neale Frascr struggled
to a 3-6, 11-9, 6-1, 3-6, 6-4
triumph over Rafael Osuna.
Fraser, the 29-year-old
"dean" of the poweriul Aussie
contingent, also was appearing
in his final cup match. He
announced his retirement
from international competi
tion during the cup presenta
tion ceremonies.
It was the second straight
shutout victory scored by Au
stralia in the challenge round.
The awesome Aussies, who
clinched the cup for the fourth
straight year Thursday, also
swept their matches against
Italy in 1861.
The Mexicans, though, put
up a much stronger fight
against tremendous odds and
indicated they will have to be
reckoned with in next year's
cup competition when Austral
ia won't have Laver and Fras
er to carry the load.

Foreign Vessel To
Carry U. 5. Lumber
Portland-lUPIuThe first U.S.
lumber to be shipped from
one U.S. port to another on
a foreign vessel in 43 years is
scheduled to be loaded at Coos
Bay late next month, a Geo
gia-Paclfic Corp. official said
Thursday.
Vice president Julian Cheat
ham said the Japanese freight
er Taian Maru will take on
1,400,000 board feet of Doug
las Fir and hemlock for de
livery at San Juan, Puerto
Rico.
The shipment on the Jap
anese vessel was made pos
sible under a permit granted
by the Department of Com
merce in accordance with a
recent amendment to the
Jones Act. Cheatham said
Georgia-Pacific complied with
terms of the permit in allow
ing U.S. ship owners five days
in which to meet shipping
prices offered by the Jap
anese. Two U.S. lines. Slates Ma
rine Lines and American Ex
port Lines, offered to carry
the lumber at $17 per 1.000
board feet above the Japanese
offer, Cheatham said.

Vandals First Lou
The loss was Idaho's first !
of the season but the Van
dals were playing without
their "second Elgin Baylor, '
Gus Johnson. He is ineligible
for NCAA tournaments under
the junior college transler
rule.
Oregon and Iowa play the
first semi-final game tonight
after winning Wednesday
night's games, but the betting
at Portland is that the win
ner of tonight's Beaver-Bear
battle will breeze through the
finals.
Oregon State has never lost
a Far West Classic game. Cal,
playing without Wall, split a
great two game scries at Cor
vallis earlier this month. To
night's ccntest should be a
great one.

erage of 26 yards each.
The Bears made Bull their
No. 1 choice in the draft last
year and owner-coach George
Halas explains why:
"Bull combines power and
elusiveness with fine balance.
The best runner with balance
I can think of now playing is
Jon Arnett of the Los Angeles
Rams. Well, Bull is bigger
than Arnctt. And Bull hasn't
reached his peak yet.
"Bull fulfilled every expec
tation I had of him and makes
me look like a shrewd judge
of college talent."
In the vote of 42 writers
who covered the past NFL
season, Bull received 14 votes,
compared to five for his clos
est rookie rival, offensive
tackle Merlin Olsen of Los
Angeles.

feat by downing Arkansas,
81-62, Thursday night to move

(UPD.
Packers Leave For
NY To Meet Giants
By United Press International'
The Green Bay Packers,
pronounced "loose and ready"
by their coach, flew today to
New York where they'll try
to become the sixth team in
29 years to win two successive
National Football league
crowns.
The Packers, who dis
mantled the New York Giants
37-0 in the title game a year
ago here, were six-and-a-half
point favorites to beat the
New Yorkers again in the
Sundav spectacular trom Yan
kee Stadium that will be
seen by a nationwide tele
vision audience.
Coach Vince Lombardi, who ,
freely predicted last year that t
his club would ve victorious, ;
was steering ocui
estimates this time around.
"My boys, including Horn
ung, are healthy, and 1 feci
we're ready for a good game,"
Lombardi said. He said he i:x
nerlpH a maximum effort
from the Giants, and it should ,
be "quite a game."
Lombardi held a brief work
out before putting his boys on
the chartered airliner today, :
and he planned another drill
Saturday ai YanKce oiamuiu.
All the players were equip
ped with sneakers, and It was
a good bet that the Packers
might open the game with
them if reports are true that
the Yankee Stadium turf is
frozen hard and slippery.
Meanwhile, at Bear Moun
tain, N.Y., Coach Al Sherman
of the New York Giants hull
ed on a pair of frost - nipped
hands, cracked a joke to by
standers and sighed a fervent
hope that Sunday "doesn't
come up wet."
"They're as (it as they'll
ever be," Sherman said alter
the Giants had gone through a
snappy hour and 19-minulc
workout Thursday in 30-rie-grce
weather at the foothills
of snow-covered Bear Mountain.
Daniel Reeves, Who Brought
LA Rams West, RegainsControl
Los Angeles -0JPU- The Los
Angeles Rams football fran
chise today was back in the
hands of Daniel F. Reeves
who brought the club here
originally, sold the controlling
interest now has purchased
it (or $4.8 million.
The Beverly Hills stock
broker was scheduled lo seal
the deal today by posting $1.2
million of the purchase price.
To get back the National
Football league club from the
rival owners, Reeves put a
value of 57.1 million, which
meant he was bidding $4.8
million for tne two-iiuras in
terest owned by Edwin W.
Pauley, Fred Levy and Hal
Selcy.
'lhe sealed bid auction was
conducted Thursday by NFL
Commissioner Pete Rozclle, a
former general manager of
the Rams, who announced that
subject to approval o( league
members. Reeves has regained
control of the club.
Reeves announced he would
take over as general manager
of the club immediately but
he added that general man
ager Elroy Hirsch, a former
Rams star, could remain witn
the club as long as he wanted.
He said that no decision on
the head coach's position
would be made for a few
weeks. Harland Svare took
over as interim coach in the
middle of the 1962 season
when Bob Walcrfield resigned.
Although the Rums ended
up with a 1 -12 -1 record
Reeves said, "As far as I can
sec, Svare has done an ex
cellent job."
Reeves bought the then
Cleveland Rams franchise in
1941 for $100,000 and trans
ferred it to Los Angeles in
1946. The first season here
was a disastrous one and in
1947 Pauley, Levy and Selcy
were taken in as partners un
der an agreement which
called for them to underwrite
the club's losses
By 1950, however, the
Rains became a financial suc
cess with Reeves serving as
president. But in 1955 lhe
other owners, who held the
controlling interest, called
for Reeves lo step aside be
cause they said his other busi
ness interests prevented him
from devoting enough tim
running the club.
Under a compromise agree
ment first Rozclle and then
Hirsch took over running the
club with the general man
ager getting unanimous con
sent of the owners on all
major decisions.
That agreement expired last
year and a court battle was
threatened until Rozclle, as
commissioner, got the owners
to agree to the scaled bid
auction to settle the dispute
by ousting either one faction
or the other.

"It doesn't make much dif

as it isn't wet Sunday," he
stressed. Obviously, he felt
rain or snow and slippery
footing would upset his plan

game against the favored
Green Bay Packers.
