WEDNESDAY, JAN. 7, 1M8 PACE SIX HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON AAore Code Enforcement NCAA Worry NEW YORK, Jan. 7 iP The National Collegiate Athletic associa tion's revised "purity" code for athletes Is expected to receive an official okay when placed before the NCAA convention later this week but the main question today Is the desree of enforcement the new rules will get. The much-discussed purity, or sanity, code was adopted in principle a year ago, but referred to a special committee for revision, and the proposed amendments will come up for final consideration at the con cluding NCAA meeting here Saturday. Concerning enforcement, strongest comment was this statement from one Southeastern conference athletic director: "I don't think they really want to enforce it." Tills delegate said that his group undoubtedly would string along with Uio majority inasmuch as the code permitted aid to atnietcs i under certain conditions, placed no check on assistance given by alum ni, and provided no iron-clad means of enforcement. Under the original NCAA code, college athletic department mem bers were not permitted to approacn prospective students beyond con fines of their own campuses. The revised code would allow them to approach athletes as long as defi nite financial offers were not made. GRID RULES SESSION The NCAA executive committee opens Its phase of the annual con vention today, while the American Football Coaches association gets Its sessions under way with a rules meeting, and track and baseball coaches continue their confabs. Track coaches voted yesterday to recommend to the NCAA the addi tion of three, and preferably six. events to the annual NCAA outdoor championship meet in Minneapolis June 18-19. This meet Is to serve as a preliminary Olympic tryout, with winners qualifying for the final trials at Evanston, 111.. July 9-10. Events considered almost certain to be added are the 400 meters hurdles, 6000 meters run and the running hop, step and jump. Final consideration was withheld on whether or not to recommend addi tion of the 10,000 meters run, ham mer throw and the 3000 meters steeplechase. The coaches voted that all other events should be measured in yards, as usual, rather than In meters. PRO BASEBALL TALK Baseball coaches, wh6 affiliated with the NCAA a year ago., passed a resolution requesting the parent body to further negotiations with professional baseball concerning p re-con tractural relations with col lege players. The baseball coaches also recom me ided a change In the setup for their national championship play offs, calling for regional tourneys involving four teams in a double elimination. They also favored es tablishment of tournaments In each of the eight NCAA districts to de termine district representative for the two regional playoffs. Rickey Takes Ailing Squad As Grid Gift NEW YORK, Jan. 7 The Na tional league baseball champion Brooklyn Dodgers went Into the football business yesterday by tak ing over operation of the Brooklyn Dodgers of the All-America profes sional gridiron conference under circumstances indicating the fran chise was an outright gift from the Rickey, president of the baseball club, carefully avoided the word "bought" when he announced acquisition of the financially-ailing football team. Rickey is one of the shrewdest traders in the sports bus iness. He merely said he was "taking over operation" of the Dodgers, free of the previous administration per sonnel. This left him apparently without connection with Bill Cox and Gerald Smith, the partners who operated the club in the red the past two seasons. The deal was apparently that the league gave the club to Rickey outright on a one-year-trial basis. If it's a success he has a football team. If not, he can unload. Beavers Have Home Until '51 PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 7 UP) Portland's Beavers apparently still have a home. At an informal meeting with the city council yesterday, Manager William Mulligan said President George Norgan is willing to start construction of a new park this .year with completion in 1951. He said the present Coast league baseball park condemned as a fire hazard would be improved to meet fire regulations if the council quashes the condemnation order. The commissioners suggested that the city could wait that long. Fish Catch Cold, Thousands Die WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Jan. 7 (PjA marine biologist of the atate fresh water game and fish commission said today the thou sands of fish that died in Lake Osborne in the last two weeks "simply caught a cold." John F. Dequlne identified the fish as gizzard shad. He said they are vulnerable to sudden changes in temperature and when the re cent cold spell sent the water tem perature down 10 degrees they "died like flics." "There is nothing to be alarmed about," Dequlne added. "The best fish in the Jake are as healthy as they ean be."

Jan. 7 Harry Gil mer, much sought-after backfield star who passed Alabama into the Sugar Bowl, has reportedly signed a five-year professional football con tract with the Washington Red skins of the National league for an estimated $80,000. Gilmer originally demanded $100.- 000 for the five years, and admitted that Redskin Owner George Mar shall nearly fainted at the sound of the figure. However, it was learned that Washington Coach Turk Edwards got together with Gilmer right after the Sugar Bowl game and signed him. Gilmer did not shine as brightly as expected against the Texas Long horns at New Orleans, when Ala bama lost 27-7, and that may be one reason for the salary scale down. The Brooklyn Dodgers of the Ail America conference held draft rights in that league to the Birmingham flash, but Gilmer signed with Wash ington before a Dodger representa tive talked terms with him. The Redskins have also trans ferred their draft rights to Mis sissippi's Charles Conerly, another great passer, to the New York Giants for an undisclosed sum. The Giants also have a tag on Barney Poole, who caught passes thrown by Con erly frequently enough this past season to form the nation's best collegiate passing team. Basin Students Have High Grades UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eu gene, Jan. 7 (Special) Two Klam ath Falls students, Mary E. Grif fiths, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Griffiths, and Ruth L.

The grade point average is based on at least 12 term hours or more ot study. Nineteen students made a perfect grade of 4.0, all "A's." Versatility Proven MERRILL, Jan. 7 Jack Snapp. prominent Merrill professional mid dleweight fighter, proved his ver satility Monday night when he scored 18 points for high honors in a basketball game between the Mer rill VFW and Bly.

The boxing commission, appoint ed on a yearly basis, enme up tor re-appointment Monday night but the job was held up pending a .sur vey and possible recommendations from the councilmen Interested. Smith said yesterday that he was casting no shadow on the integrity of the personnel of the commission or on the promoter. Mack Lillard, but he wanted to try to make sure that there will be no repetition of two particularly bad fights here the ' past season. TWO MENTIONED ! One bout the councilman men tioned was the Roy Hawkins - Joe i Dixon fracas of December 17. 1946. i when Dixon, an aged negro, laid I ' down after the first punch, and the I ! other was the more recent Jack I Snapp-Johnny Taylor fight of No- ! vember 4. when Taylor went out in ' t two heats under circumstances the ; customers didn't cure for. j Both Condrey and Smith said that ( i no blame could be placed on the ! 1 boxing commission or the promoter , I lor those iignts. oecause Dixon and i Taylor were sent in here by outside j ; matchmakers Dixon from Port- j land.
