BASKETBALL NEW YORK LaSalle, which won the NCAA Tournament last aprlng, and Kentucky were tabbed to finish one-two In the pre-seasoa Associated Press poll. Lane Completes Trade; Seeking By JOE KEICHLEB NEW YORK I Frank Lane, the trade-conscious Chicago White Sox general manager, today went after the Kansas City Athletics in an effort to add to the two deals he completed yesterday that brought three players from the Baltimore Orioles and three from the Detroit Tigers. Without actually naming the players h hoped to pry loose from the Athletics, Lane left no doubt he was after third baseman Jim Ftnigan and pitcher Arnie Porto carerro, the two most desirable trading commodities In Manager Lou Boudreau's assortment of cellar-dwellers. COMPLETING . "We're ready to trade some more," Lane said. "Only the cur few stopped us from completing a third deal last night. Wa know what Boudreau wants. He's looking to gat a number of players. He doesn't expect to pick up any top guy. We've got enough players now to give Boudreau the guys he needs." Lane figured in the only two deals swung yesterday as the major league convention gut under way with separate league meet ings. The two leagues close out the two-day convention today with a Joint meeting. The White Sox traded off seven players to get six. In the first trade, Chicago sent pitchers Don Johnson (-7 and Don Ferrarese (16-15 at Oakland), catcher Matt Batts t.335) and lnficlder Fred Marsh (.906) to Baltimore for catcher Clint Courtney (.270), pitcher Bob Chakales (5-7) and lnfielder Jim Brideweser (.266). In the second transaction, Chi cago acquired first baseman Walt Dropo (.261), outfielder Bob Nie man (.263) and southpaw Ted Gray (3-5) from the Tigers for first base man Ferris Fain (.302), utility in fielder Jack Phillips (.307 at Holly wood) and right-handed pitcher Leo Christante (24-7 at Atlanta). No cash was Involved In either deal. MAINTAIN "We're trying to maintain a de fense and add to our offense," Lane said. "Dropo and Nleinan give us right-handed punch and strengthen our bench. If Gray comes through we got another left-handed pitcher. His arm la questionable. We're tak ing a gamble." Paul Richards now has gotten rid of all but five of the old St. Louis Browns since ho took the Job of field and general manager of the Orioles three months ago. Yes terday's deal came 18 days after his gigantic deal with the Yankees that resulted In the departure of eight orioles. "We had to change or remain stagnant," Richards explained. "I think we're 50 per cent stronger rleht now and could reach the first division If It all pans.out for us.-we ve given up-some good men, but we've gotten more in return, in my opinion." Scortichini. Wins Third Straiqht Bout NEW YORK lPh Ttalo Scorti chini of Italy vowed Tuesday that from now on "I'm an American, and will fight, American style in the future." The 25-year-old boxer won his third straight fight Monday night taking a unanimous 10-round de cision from Chlco Varena of Cuba a. St. Nicholas Arena Scortichini was on top of his op ponent all the way. and never let up. although there were no knockdowns. "I now fight the aggressive American style." the Italian said in his dressing room. "It's no good to fight European style in Amer ica. Lose all fights. From now on I'm an American" Boxers from across the Atlantic, he explained, hold back occasion ally, but Scortichini had different Ideas Monday night. Riferee Mark Conn gave Jim the bout by a 9-1 margin, Judge Joe Agnello had it 8-2, and Judge Arthur Susskind voted 7-3. Scortichini weighed 154';, Varona 153. California End Leads Receivers NEW YORK HI A regular end as a sophomore in two-platoon football two years ago Jim Hani fan of California is the nation's major college pass receiving champion, the first Ihe Pacific Coast has ever had.

Western Kentucky Most Valuable Award Goes To Van Brocklin LOS ANOELES L Quarter back Norm Van Brocklin was voted the most valuable player on the Los Angeles Rams at Ye Olde Rams annual banquet at the Mou lin Rouge Monday night. The secret ballot was by former Rams. Van Brocklin, gunning for his third National Football League passing championship In flvo sea sons, was given the Warren Cle mens Memorial Trophy.

Fullback Tank Younger was voted the out standing back, succeeding Skeet Qulnlan, and Les Rlchter, former California All-America, was named the outstanding rookie In a close vote. Jim latum Said Heading For North Carolina Job Ted Hall, Weiser In Main Bout Ralph Weiser, one of the most feared fighters in the Pacific North west fight circles because of his punching ability faces another stiff test this Friday night at the armory as he meets Teddy Hall In a 10 round main event of a steller card that promoter Mack Llllard had worked out. The Beatty Bomber, well known In Klamath Falls as one of the hardest hitting boxers around this locality and a person who can take a solid blow when It finds the mark, is seeking to regain his bal ance and get back on the victory path following a loss to Jimmy Grow a few weeks ago. Since that time Weiser has been training hard and anticipating a return bout with Grow, but due to tile fact that the Idaho fighter had a match last Friday, he thought that it would be too big of a chance to meet the rough and tough Weiser within seven days. But Llllard, not to let Weiser' get rusty, got Hall who is another topflight ring warrior of the Pa cific Northwest from his training grounds In Vancouver, B.C., to sign for the Weiser light. In Hall's last bout with Grow, he took an early lend in the first three rounds, but was forced to nult fighting when the Idaho slug ger opened a cut over the flashy boxer s eye. Hall has been fighting eight and 10 round bouts Including an eight In the preliminary car of the Rex Layne-Bill Boalsman fight in Salt Lake and he posted a second round knockout of Willie Sulzmun, one of the highly regarded lightweights in tne utan tignt areas. Besides the Sulzman KO, Hall has stopped Frankie Rodgers and Mitch LaSeur, and in his last fight here, which has been several months ago, he scored a KO over Georgie Bray, the sharp shooting Bonanza battler. Llllard Is also placing before the fans an outstanding array of pre liminary bouts as he has lined up some of the top fighters out of the Washington gymnasiums In cluding Joe Jackson of Tacoma who will meet Chuck Ruff In the six round semi-windup and Ralph Colvin of Seattle who faces Don Plcard in another six round bout. The ring fans of the Basin will also see their first heavyweight battle since Jimmy Byrne fought In the local arena as Al Thomp son -of Beatty and Seattle's - Joe Quinlon meet in a four .rounder. Dunui McDaniel of Chiloquin tan gles with Orin Gamble of Seattle In another scheduled four rounder. Tickets for the Friday night matches will be placed on sale at Dick Reeder's Store for Men In Klamath Falls and will remain on sole there until the night of the tight, Lillard stated. Bell Urges Adoption Of Grid Rule. 'PHILADELPHIA W Bert Bell, commissioner ot the National Football League.- has urged a rule to prohibit pro ball carriers from getting up and running after they have been tackled or knocked down. Bell advocated the rule Monday as he opened an investigation Into charges by the Los Angeles Rams that Don Joyce ot the Baltimore Colts struck Ram linebacker Les Rlchter with a helmet last Satur day. The commissioner said his pro posal would prevent rough play and piling on. "I want to see a rule written in where the ball is dead at the spot where the carrier or ball touches the ground." Bell said, adding, "Now the carrier Is al lowed to run If he Is not In the grasp of an opponent." Dr. Danny Fortmann, Rams' physician, said 15 stitches were required to close a wound over Rlchter's right eye after last Sat urday s game, which the Cols won 22-21. Bell said Joyce will be punished If the evidence Is sustained Joyce was ejected from the game when the head linesman and umpire called a foul on him at the same time. . . .
