OSCWins, Webfoots Get Scare By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Oregon and Oregon State shared top spot in Pacific Coast Confer ence Northern Division basketball standings Saturday after a suc cessful invasion of Washington territory. Oregon State, hotter than a July afternoon despite below - freezing weather outside Seattle's Hec Ert- mundson Pavilion, Friday night, romped by the University of Wash ington Huskies, 61-49, behind the uncanny shooting of Tony Vlasteli-ca. Oregon, trailing most of the way. staged a fourth quarter rally to edge a surprising Washington State College team at Pullman, 75-73. BYE The fifth member of the North ern Division, Idaho, drew a bye. The wins by OSC and Oregon gave each a 2-1 loop record. Idaho is in third place with a 2-2 mark and Washington and WSO share the cellar with one win and two losses apiece. Washington was somewhat of a threat to the Beavers until late in the fourth quarter as the Huskies' Dean Parsons did an excellent job in holding OSC's high-scoring Wade Ibweae) HaiorooK to 14 points, his low scoring effort of the season. The Beavers grabbed an 8-7 lead midway in the first period and were never seriously in danger, although the Huskies kept the pres sure on OSO all the way. Vlastellca came into the game late in the second and hooped eight points hi two minutes. Vlastellca got three more field goals in the third period for a total of 14 points. Washington State, figured as a set-up Job for Oregon's Ducks, surprised the visitors with first half snapshooting and left the floor at the intermission on the long end of a 45-38 score. The Ducks fought back through the third and went into the lead at 62-60 on Bob Hawes field goal with less than two minutes gone in the fourth quarter. The score went to 72-67 before the Cougars started a rally of their own, tying the score at 73-all on Bob Swan- son's field goal at the one-minute mark. Oregon won the game with ten seconds remaining when Ken Weg ner hooked in a field goal and a long WSO shot went wide as the final buzzer sounded. The same duos meet again Sat urday night.

Wl Texas-born Tony Holguin, who has been known to set a sizzling pace on occasions before, was far in front of the field Saturday as the second round of the Blng Crosby 54-hole pro - amateur golf cham pionship got under way. A course record setting 63 sent the dark complexloned sharpshoot er from San Antonio off to a fly ing start. Some of the greatest name professionals in the business could barely make out the outline of their stocky fellow pro. Defend ing champion Lloyd Mangrum, for Instance, was exactly ten strokes behind Holguin as the second round firing began. RECORD Mangrum, ex-U.S. Open cham pion who holds the Crosby tourna ment record of 204, set last year, chalked up a one over par 73 for his Initial round. Holguin, 27 years old, Texas Open champion, carded 32-31 for the 6,246 yard Monterey Peninsula course. He had ten birdies, missed only one green, and had twelve one putt greens during the almost unbelievable rounds. The previous competitive course record of was made In 1949 by the former National Open champion, Dr. Cary Middlecoff, of Memphis. While bagging the 'Texas Open last year, Holguin also carded a round of 63. Besides setting the Individual pace with Friday's par cracking effort, he and his partner, Cleveland Indians pitching ace Bob Lemon, led the pro - amateur division with a 30-3161. CLOSEST Closest behind Holguin in the professional race for slices of the $1,000 purse was Marvin Stahl, veteran from Grosse Pointe, Mich. With 34-3468.

REDS BUILD STADIA TOKYO UH Peiping's Red radio said recently that eight new stadia are being built in northwest China to cope with demands in the field of sports.

Byrd on the Job two days longer than he expected. Byrd had planned to retire as University president on Dec. 31 after 18 years in that post But Maryland's riders were picked to play Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl on Jan. I, The Uni versity regents, wanted Byrd to witness the game as president of the institution, set back the effec tive date of his resignation to Jan, 2. k5 Vf 0 o JO. -.run r r . a.- Tho powerful new Fordson Major Diesel tractor, manufactured by Ford Motor Company, Ltd, of England, is being introduced in the United States by Ford tractor dealers. The rugged orange and blue dicsel weighs approximately 6,600 pounds and hat six forward Pro Basketball Should Guard Its By HARRY GRAYSON NEA Sports Editor NEW YORK (NEA) The same sickening business erupted again. And let s hope sometning Is done before basketball once more is covered from police stations and district attorneys' offices. Whether Jack Mollnas, the wise cracking Fort Wayne freshman, simply bet on his team to win, or went in for tne type of business which all but killed collegiate bas ketball in major eastern arenas, Is a question left to the district attorney and the Columbia alum nus' conscience. In defense of the professionals, it must be said that President Maur ice Podoloff of the National Bas ketball Association and Owner Fred Zoltner of the Pistons worked with admirable dispatch. Unlike the haughty colleges of the past scan dals, they needed no district attor ney to take action. POLICING But the Mollnas case Is further evidence that the money game re quires policing. Podoloff should pro tect the combatants from the weak er elements within their ranks and the customers from having to sit through another nightmare of state ments from state prosecutors. It was a New York sports editor1 who on Dec. 28 noted that book makers would not take bets on the Fort Wayne club. Mollnas admits having gambled on 10 games. Podoloff wants to know how he is going to keep an eye on so many hired hands. The boy simply picked up the telephone and called in bis bets," he explains. "Only wire tapping would stop it." ATTITUDE That, we are sorry to say, Mr. President, is the perfect attitude to take if the game wants to ride along and put itself plumb out of busi ness. It might not be a bad idea for you to consult Spencer J. Drayton, the old G-man who heads the Racing Protective Bureau. He no doubt could show you how to obtain simple sources of informa tion that would suppress this thing before it catapults into a major disaster. The point spread makes basket ball lend Itslef to gambling, and where there is heavy wagering with humans involved there must be a watchful eye. Owners, players and officials can not afford to be naive, but basket ball people never learn, It seems. Referee Sol Levy two years ago was caught trying to control games with his decisions. Flayers who had been involved in fixes during their college days appeared in pro lineups before various law enforcement agencies yanked them into courtrooms for past sins. The National Basketball Assn. has been too loosely conducted. On the owners' level, Clair Bee more recently bought full control ol the Baltimore Bullets, whom be coaches. As athletic director of Long Island University and its coach, Bee professed not to have the slightest idea that his Black birds, as tbey were aptly named, were shaving, dumping and doing everything but giving away games throughout a protracted period, CONFIDENCE The question here is one of confi dence. Is there any reason to be lieve that Bee can prevent trouble in the pro ranks after falling so miserably in college? The Jack Mollnas incident doesn't interest this department. That has been taken care of. What concerns us is the future? Is big-time professional basket ball going to wake, up or is it going to sleep away its very existence? 1 1 J RankTl w II C5 JACK MOLiNitl too much telopU. Holy Cross, GW Drop First Hoop Contests By HIP WATSON NEW YORK WJ Kentucky, Du- quesne and Western Kentucky, the nation's last unbeaten major col lege basketball teams, had fair warning today: It takes more than a perfect record to crack a tough defense. Holy Cross and George Washing ton learned thnt fnrfc tn thpir snrrrnt' last night as both ' went down t9 their first defeats of the season. Holy Cross bowing to Notre Dame 83-G1 and George Washington to Maryland 66-61. The story was the same in both cases: too-much defense. With Togo Palazzi missing 13 field goal at tempts in the first half. Holy Cross found itself on the short end of a 23 score. A collapsing defense thoroughly shackled Palazzi and his mates, who were ranked sixth in the country and had won 11 in a row. STOPS George .Washington's streak stopped at 11 when the previously high-scoring Colonials couldn't solve Maryland's defense. George Wash- Net Moguls Meet Today NEW YORK Wl The United States Lawn Tennis Association went into what could be its most important and. progressive meet ing in history today. The delegates were scheduled to scrap the ancient rule that pro hibits an amateur player . from working for a sporting goods com pany and hear the appeal of the Tennis Players League to permit It to sponsor a 35-week tournament among the top 10 amateurs in the country. The delegates seemed evenly split on the latter proposal. When the amateur rule Is junked, it will mean the United states will conform to the rules of the Inter national Lawn Tennis Federation, which specifically gives its mem bers permission to work tor sportr ing goods companies. The United States Is the last country to come into line. The Australians are certain to be watching the proceedings with Interest, for it will enable the Americans to compete on even terms in their quest to win back the coveted Davis Cup. Sam Snead In Halfway Lead PANAMA, Panama Wi Sam Snead, trying for the $7,500 Pan ama open golf title again alter two runnerup roles, had a two -stroke lead at the half-way point Saturday, but he couldn't afford to let up. Snead added a 67 Friday to his opening 66 for a 133 total, but Roberto de Vicenzo matched the 67 for a 135 total. And Skip Alexander of Southern Pines, N.C., bettered It with a 66 to take third place at 136. Snead, 11 under par after two rounds, will be $2,000 richer if he's still in front after the 72nd hole Sunday, inglon, ranked seventh, trailed by 14-9 after 10 minutes and never got started after that. Kentucky, No. 1 team In the Associated Press poll, should im prove their 10-0 record against Tu lane tonight. But neither Duquesne nor Western Kentucky needed any kind of warning about their opponents. Duquesne plays Niagara at the Upstate New York school, remem bering their tight squeeze over Niagara in the Madison Square Garden Holiday Festival and also the Purple Eagles' reputation ior being lough on their home court. Western Kentucky plays Eastern Kentucky, a bitter cross-state rival that upset the favored Hilltoppers exactly a year ago tomorrow. Second-ranked Duquesne has won 14, fifth-ranked Western Kentucky 15. TKUUBLE At least two other members of the top ten lace trouble tonight. Indiana, No. 3, plays a return game at WsLconsin, a team the Hoosiers nipped by 70-67 at Indiana for one of their lour Big Conference suc cesses without defeat. Minnesila, No. 10, can't afford to let down against Iowa's young team, which has a 3-0 Big 10 mark against les ser opposition. Oklahoma A&M, No. 4, visits Tuisa ior a Missouri valley game, eighth-ranked Oklahoma City is host to Murray State of Kentucky and ninth-ranked Duke is idle. Texas clicked on 65 per cent of its shots in the second half to whip Rice 74-66, giving the Longhorns a front-running 4-0 mark in the South west Conference. THIRD California whipped Stanford 83-68 to make its record 3-0 in the south ern division of the Pacific Coast League, while Oregon and Oregon State moved ahead in the northern division.
