Gfl Coaching staffs of both the North and South all-star squads said Wednesday they had the finest collection of players they ever saw but only the South predicted a victory In the Shrine's charity football game Christmas night In the Orange Bowl. South Coach Andy Gustafson of Miami made the flat prediction that the South will win Us fourth game in five appearances and said after Tuesday's final lengthy prac tice session, "we're ready." "I'm not making any predic tions, but we'll give them a real battle," said North Coach Stu Hol comb of Purdue. The North will have a general review of plays and tactics de vised by Holcomb and his aides, Buff Donelll of Boston University. Red Sanders of UCLA and West Fesler of Minnesota, at their final limbering up drill. Gustafson and his assistants, Jim Tatum of Maryland and George Bauer of Baylor, planned a 45 minute limbering up session. Santa Finds seonsins PASADENA, Calif.

Ifl The academic fathers dealt the Tro jans of Southern California a hard blow Wednesday when Uiev ruled Jim Psaltis, one of the nation's best defensive halfbacks. Ineligible to play against Wisconsin In the Rose Bowl Jan. 1. Psaltis. whose record of nine pass interceptions, which he re turned for 1)3 yards and two touchdowns, was second best in the nation this year, was declared ineligible because he played two games on the Junior varsity team at santa rtosa, (.am., junior col lege in 1949. Hugh c. Willett, faculty athletic representative at USC and presi dent of the NCAA, made the dis closure which came after a secret poll of faculty representatives in the Pacific Coast Conference. THUMBS DOWN USC had petitioned the confer ence fathers to hold Psaltis eligible but they turned it down. Willett said the information on the six-foot-one 186-pounder from Oak land, Calif., did not reach USC until after the recent USC-Notre Dame game. It was not verified until Dec. 15, after which the con ference was polled. Psaltis' 1949 record was not re ported bv Santa Rosa officials, Willett said, because the school did not think it would have any effect on his major college career under California Junior College Associa tion rules. CALMLY Coach Jess Hill of USC received the news calmly but he was any thing but pleased. This means that he will have to use little Jimmy Sears "both ways" as his left half, or tailback, on offense, and full time on defense at safety. Sears, All-American safety man, was generally spelled at this posi tion by Psaltis, who was in turd relieved at his secondary spot by Harry Welch. The latter is aggres sive but is not as adept at pass defense as rsaitis.

Bv MURRAY OLDERMAN NEA Staff Correspondent (First of two articles) NEW YORK (NEA) George Ml- kan, the most prolific scorer in basketball history (at least until this season), is a big, ambling, normally placid Croat. But there's one way to bring tne color to his cheeks. Ask him If he's washed up. Georze'a ears are tuned to the Innuendo currently bruited about the National Basketball Association that the big guy is on his lsst legs. Poor George Is averaging only 19.5 points a game or the world champion Minneapolis Lakers. PVKY That's like Babe Ruth poking out a puny 35 home runs a sea son. A young Italian marquis, visit ing this country, said, "One of mv biz ambitions is to see Mr. I Basketball, George Mikan, play thees game." In Europe they've beard of him yet. There never was a one like Ml kan since the dav Dr. James Nat smith hung up those peach bas kets in me gpringneia. Mass., gym nasium in 1891. If Mr. Basketball is toppling from his exalted peak. it's news. It's also news to the party concerned, as he surveys the prospect of his $20,000 Plus yearly being slashed commensurate with the dips in nis scoring average. HUNGARY Lumbering George, with his six feet 10 inches, always has been a hungry basketball player. He's never going to be happy when an evening's work shows six or seven points in the score book, as It has a couple of times this Winter. Yet in Minneapolis, George's Boswell, sports writer Bill Carl son, says: "George Is a vastly su perior player today over the one who Joined the Lakers Nov. 20, 1947. He is no longer the bull of his early pro days. "For the first time In his ca reer, I believe he Is an honest to goodness team man. George has pretty well mastered that urge to be 'Mr. Big' in every game." two years ago George was t NEW TRAILER HOMES Aqency for SPARTANPOHTIAC I CLIPPER NOW ON DISPLAY Balsiger Motor Co.

It will come as a special shock to the experts who expected Ore gon to be a sorry, slcwfooted en try in the Northern Division race. Borchcr's team has been any thing but that in pre-season games. It's been as driving and bouncy as a halftlma intermission with Borcher. That's when the coach, now In his second season at Oregon, com Illinois Upended By Minnesota, 77 to 73 By The Associated Press Illinois' prestige as Uie nation's second ranking collegiate team in the Associated Press basketball poll dipped Tuesday night. The lllini absorbed a 77-73 defeat at the hands of Minnesota before 16, 878 fans. The victory was a tribute to coach Ozzie Cowles' inspired Min nesota charges who turned the trick by out-rebounding the taller Mini and by skillfully executing in genious defenses set to check the lllini near the basket. There were other surprises, but Betsy Rawls Top Earner MIAMI. Fla. HI Betsy Rawls, Austin, Texas, is the champion money winner among America's women golfers m 1952. Miss Rawls won (14305 in purses during her first year as a pro fessional to lead all her rivals by a comfortable margin, according to Fred Corcoran, ladles' PGA tournament director.

FAILl'KE The failure of the Illinois first stringers to turn in their top per formances aided Minnesota. In fact, it was the ball-hawking and shooting of the IUuil reserves in the last 15 minutes of play that kept their team in contention.
