SATURDAY. OTwm HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE FOURTEEN TOP COMEDIAN for the Harlem Globetrotters and incidentally quite a pivotman in thi his fourth year is Robert Hall. Hall is a product of Detroit's Brewster Center, which spawned many great Negro athletes, and came up through the Trotter's farm system. A favorite of the fans with his driving play and horseplay, Hall will be seen here Dec. 7, when the famous cagers meet the City League All-Stars in one of two games on Pelican Court. The Boston Whirlwinds, led by renowned Bill Spivey, face the Klamath County Independent League All Stars in the preliminary. Here's How Globetrotter Comedy Was Born once a good Trotter lead was established. Hie move was highly successful. Not only were the Har lemltes given a "breather," but the fans got a terrific kick out of the proceedings and even the opposing teams slowed down to watch the fun, Fans attending the huge basket ball show at Pelican Court Dec. 7 when the fabulous Harlem Globe trotters take on the City League All-Stars know they are In for l dazzling exhibition of comedy as well as playing finesse by the Ne gro wizards. The mirth - provoking stunts, along with the brillinnt ball hand ling and passing of the Trotters, has come to be an Integral part of their appearances, and are, in a large way, responsible for the team's tremendous drawing pow er. More by accident than design came these comedy didoes. Back in the early days, the Globetrotters carried only five players, in contrast to their pres ent large squad. Owner-Coach Abe Saperstein accompanied the team in the varied role of owner, coach, business manager, trainer and gen eral handy man. In addition, he served as the team's lone sub stitute. Playing games against strong, rugged home squads eager for on upset victory over the famed quin tet, plus the arduous schedule call ing for games every night (some times twice a day) and traveling through blustery winter weather, began to wear down the Globetrot ter players too early in their sea son. Saperstein, In an attempt to slow down the pace of play in a game, started injecting more ball handling and the comedy antics The new Ingredients remained with the Globetrotters through the years as their trademark of "the team that a different."

It also could, be bowl-cltnchlng day for three of them and relief day for ihe members of two conferences yho conceivably might be forced so vote a loam into the bowls. Maryland, one of the nation's two major undefeated, untied out fits, could get the Orange Bowl spot against Oklahoma by defeat ing Alabama. That's fairly simple. but the Big Ten and Pacific Coast conferences are more compli-cated. In the Big Ten, Michigan State, Illinois and Wisconsin could wind up in a three-way tie for the chanv BEAGLE'S BUGLE Mister Jones, R. E., gives tongue, as Jhey say. at bcaglers' trials.

This Is contingent on Illinois turning back North western and Wisconsin beating Minnesota. 'mat would give all three i-l rec ords since Michigan State's season Is over. VOTE A vote would be called to de cide whether Illinois or State would make the New Year's Day trip to Pasadena. Wisconsin is out of it by virtue of having played In the igame last year. Then the other conference big wigs could start reaching for the headache powders. Whichever they voted in probably would touch off criticism. For a time. It was thought that since Michigan State was on probation, the Illini would get it in the event of a tie. But earlier in the week, most of the other schools' spokesmen disclaimed any Intention of being miiucnced by the Spartans pro bation. They'd make their choice strictly on lootball, they said. NO PKOI1LEM Of course. If Northwestern up sets the Illini, the problem would vanish. Michigan State would go on its 5-1 record. In ' the Pacific Coast Conference, both UCLA and Slnnford have us pirations for the championship and they could wind up in a deadlock provided tncy defeat, respectively. Southern California and California.

ACCURATE BAYREUTH, Germany m A Christmas tree dealer complained Saturday that East Zone Commu nist police confiscated his truck and a load of 8,600 trees destined for Berlin. He said Uie confisca tion occurred because the police after a one-by-one count found 8.600 trees on Ui truck Instead of the declared number 3.000. Both are favored. Here, again, a vote would be re quired if both UCLA and Stanford win. In that case, the Indians would have definite advantage in view of the fact that they edged the Bruins, 21-20 earlier in the season.

TURKEY SHOOT Target High Power .22 Sponsored by Beatty Recreation Club Beatty, Ore., Sunday. Nov. 22 Starting of 1:30 p.m. Chico Down In Second Br JACK HAND NEW YORK W Vince Martinez moves on to a January date with Carmen Basilio or Rocky Casillo and soldier Chico Vejar goes back to Ft. Benning Monday morning. That is the new result of last night's lively 10-rounder at Madi son Square Garden in which Mar tinez won a unanimous decision with bis quick hands and stabbing jab. Vejar was down for an automatic eight-count from a right to the jaw in the second round of the bout witnessed by 7,319 fans who paid $27,267. RALLY After tthe knockdown, Chico ral lied strongly with a swarming body attack that should have pleased the TV viewers back at camp. Martinez and his manager Bill Daly were pleased with the Pater- son, N. J., welter's new-found ability to time himself. Too often in the past, Martinez has bounced away to a fast start and then slowed to a walk in the stretch. He- did that last March 13 when- Vejar upset him in the Garden. PUZZLED Vejar puzzled the customers by switching to left handed style in the sixth. Instead of confusing Martinez, it set him up for some solid right hand punches. There was a strong home town following from Stamford, Conn, for Vejar who weighed 150 2 to 149 y2 for Martinez. Referee Petev Scalzo and Judge Frank Forbes scored it 6-4 and Judge Art Aidala 6-3-1, all for Martinez. The AP card had it 6-2-2 in favor of Martinez. I UW tj$jF i?

This Football Upset Paid Off HOUSTON, Tex. iff) A school whose chief benefactor apologeti cally explained his gifts had amounted to only 25 million dol lars, not 210 million, had another $2,225,000 from him today for a football victory. The school is burgeoning Uni versity of Houston and the oilman philanthropist with football fever is Hugh Roy Culler-. The oilman, pleased with the school's football win over Baylor last week, announced his gift yes terday at a campus pep rally for today's game with Texas Tech. The great spirit and determi nation shown by the Cougars last Saturday in defeating Baylor fills me with enthusiasm and prompts me to do something for our great university," Cullen said. .Nobody doubted his enthusiasm when he said a few minutes later: I have decided to give the uni versity $2,225,000 in oil payments." Cullen explained that campus improvements needed to obtain ac creditation from the Southern Assn. qf Colleges and Secondary Schools would "put the university in the red by $830,000" and the money was to "help this situa tion." The school's football team, going into last Saturday's game with a record of two wins, three losses and a tie, pasted a 37-7 defeat on Baylor, then ranked ninth national ly in the Associated Press poll. Cullen, chairman of the univer sity's board of regents, already had given the school abo.ut 25 mil lion dollars. In 1947 he and Mrs. Cullen established a 160-million-dollar foundation for educational, medical and charitable purposes.

This was not true, he said, because the gifts amount to only 25 million. Yesterday's pep rally, which school officials said was the lar gest ever held by the 11,000 student university, was in the audi torium of the four-miflion-dollar Ezekiel W. Cullen Building.
