The National Football league, moguls went into their final December huddles today with tho case of New York Giant Fullback Merle Hapes Involving tho attempt to fix nunday a championship game atlll open, the player draft fin lulled and proposed rule changes up for debate. Although no action has been taken yet In the attempted brib ery nf Hupea and nothing final will be done pending disposal of the case against the Indicted Al vln Purls, self-styled "big bettor" National League Commissioner Bert Bell made it plain that the axe will full on anyone who hears of such a aituutlon and doesn't report It Immediately. Sporting a new five-year con tract at a $30,000,000 annual sal ary , the stocky Phlladclphian declared that withholding of "guilty knowledge" of gambling or uttempted "fixing" of games is punishuble by lifetime banish ment. Didn't Report Offer He pointed out he was not specifically referring to Hapes, who is alleged to have been "propositioned" by Paris last week and not to have reported the attempt to Giant Coach Steve Owen or any other club official. Bob Kenimore. two-time all America Oklahoma AGM back, was first choice in the lengthy druft sessions. He was selected by the league champion Chicago Bears. Glenn Davis, Army's great "Mr. Outside," was No. 1 pick of the Detroit Lions. But the magnates paid close attention to news from the local grand Jury, which indicted Paris on two counts of attempted brib ery, utter hearing from Hapes and the Giants' halfback ace, Frank Filchock, and to reports from municipal court, where Paris' bail was raised from $25, 000 to $28,500. And it was obvious that the moguls, deeply affected by this first cloud in the 27-year National leaguo history, were going all out to tighten up regulations. UcIiqs Popular Most popular on the druft list were the undefeated Bruins of UCLA although only about one third of the 300 drafted players were announced, it was learned nine members of the Uclan outfit were selected, headed by South paw Passer Cut Rossi, first choice of the Washington Red skins. The owners picked five of the unbeaten, untied Bulldogs of Georgia, the Identities of none of whom were revealed. Detroit Owner Fred Mandcl explained he will not contact Davis, the three-time all-Amcrt- can from California, about a con tract. Inasmuch as Davis will be an army officer after his gradua tion in June. If he should "get out of. the army, say in two or three years, I would have first crack at him," Mandel added. Fullback Doc Blanchard, who made up with Davis, Army's much-feored "monster and his playmate" combination, was se lected a year ago by the Pitts burgh Stcelcrs. Branchard had a year at North Carolina before going to West Point. Fog Balks UCLA As Rose Bowl Practice Resumes L r ay " - j , . ; , I -lu ' , f .

Grizzlies Off To Flying Start G1LCHKIST. Dec. 17 Tiie Cilciirist Grizzlies are off to a flying start In their basketball season, winning the first county league game with Bly, 43 to 21. McCaw and Shelton of Gilchrist divided the scoring, totaling 20 and 21 points, respectively. T'Ae B string also lambasted Bly, 44-8. Last Saturday the Grizzlies were host to Kedmond and came out on the long end of a 34 to 37 score. Lhamberlain and McCaw were tic prolific scorers, 10 and nine points in order. In a preseason game at Gil christ the Grizzlies took a 41 to 22 decision from the Paisley Buckaroos, but a return tilt backfired and Paisley won, 30-28. Eighth In Row TWIN FALLS. Idaho. Dec. 17 (if) The University of Idaho Vandals, defending northern di vision Pacific Coast conference basketball titlist, dropped their eighth straight contest last night by a 4B-3!) count to their little brothers, the University of Ida ho southern branch. Hawkins current string Is eight wina and a draw since he came out of the service less than a year ago, and at present he is only one notch behind Joe Ka- hut, recognized Oregon heavy champion. . Hawkins and Dixon, along with their handlers, arrived in town yesterday and went through a light workout last night. Dixon is the bigger of the two, weighing about 200 pounds and standing 6 feet li inches, while Hawkins measures 6 feet 1 inch and tips the beam at 190, fight ing weight. Semi-windup of tonight's card has earl McGill and Monte Mont gomery, welterweights, paired off for a five-rounder. Both are fast and smart punchers and both undefeated locally. McGill is probably the more speedy and sharper of the two, but Mont gomery holds a good slugging mark. Also at five rounds will be a middleweight scrap between Sunny Kelly, Omaha negro and stablemate of Dixon, who, like Dixon, is making his debut on the coast, and Chiloquin Bruce Miller. Rudy Carlson and Ralph Wei ser, lightweight, will tangle in the second bout of the evening at four rounds, and the opener, al so lightweight class, has matched Bunny Weiser with Gene Gist of Redding.

Salem Sends 19 SALEM, Dec. 17 W) Nine teen teams will represent Salem at the annual state bowling tour nament at Seaside next month.

Dec. 17 (P) Along the golfing trail, they're saying that Ellsworth Vines, the reformed tennis player, will be the golfer to beat In 1947. The Hogans, Nelsons and Snead continued to dominate the professional picture during 1948, but with another year coming up, other names which may draw the attention along the tourney circuit were enter ing the picture. But Vines has the experience over the others, and he also has what fellow pro term "terrific competitive spirit." Vines, 33-year-old, of Los An geles, Calif., ha one of the most improved games in the business, says Freddie Corcoran, PGA tourney manager, who ace all the big time golf. After Vines had fired a six under par 29 to break the record on the outgoing nine of the Miami Springs golf course dur ing the recent Miami Open, there was much talk of his game. "He is a good putter and long off the tee when he want to be," they said "but he' got more: he' got the stuff to stick in there and win. "He's the fellow who's going to win two national titles in as many sports." Vines was U. S. tennis singles and Wimbledon singles cham pion. His golf victories this year in cluded the Massachusetts and Pikes Peak Open. He was only a stroke behind Herman Barron in the rich Tam O'Shanter, and tied for third place with E. J. (Dutch) Harrison In the Miami Open. He copped tho Southern California Open last year. DURHAM, N.
