SUNDAY, DECEMBER 11. 1955 HERALD AND NEWS. ' KLAMATH FALLS; OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN Huskies, OSC Win Cage Tilts By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Tne University of Washington's long and lanky Huskies, generally favored, to carry the bulk of the north's power into the Pacific Coast Conference basketball wars, proved Friday night they have Uie guns to do it. Coach Tippy Dye's charges, up ended twice by Stanford In their opening series a week ago down south, played the Baylor Bears off the court Friday night at Seattle, 71-62. . Tne Huskies and Oregon State's Beavers were the only two squads of the five northern members of the PCC to attach victories in Fri day night play. Oregon State brushed Wyoming aside, 53-46. at corvains. The Oregon Ducks bumped up against the Brlgham Young power house and came away on the short end or a 71-63 score. Idaho dropped a 70-65 decision to Montana and Washington Slate was edged by Utah State, 118-65. Bruno Boin, the sky-high sopho more who is being compared even at mis stage with Washington s former All-America Bob Houbress, pumped in seven field goals and one free throw to tie Jim Coshow for high-scoring honors on the Husky side. Larry Barnes of Bay lor topped all scorers with 17 points. The Huskies spotted Baylor a brief lead at the start before they started to click. Washington moved into a 15-6 lead midway through the first half, fought off a Baylor rally and left the court at the intermission with a 38-32 advant age. Tile Huskies, who have employed a man-to-man defense in the past to very good advantage, slipped into a zone defense against Baylor to throw the Texans off balance. Oregon Slate, trailing 27-20 at the half, bounced back with vigor and some excellent marksmanship in the second .half to ring up the first victory of the season for the Beavers. A trio of sophomores, Dave Gambee, Wayne Moss and Ken Nanson, divided 36 points evenly as the Beavers handed the Cow pokes their third loss of the season. The Beavers started eating away at Wyoming's lead at the start of the second half and moved into the lead for the first time in the game when Nanson sent a 20-foot shot through the hoop to make it 7-36. Wyoming knotted the score at 42-ail minutes later only to have the Beavers' Dick Wilson spring for seven straight points. The Bea vers weren't headed again. The Idaho-Montana clash was a tight affair until the final minutes of the game, when the Oriizlies , overhauled Idaho and moved into a game-winning lead. Idaho held the advantage during most of the contest and left the floor at the half on the long end Df a 39-34 count. But the Montanans, guided by Cdffie Berqulst, more than match ed the Vandals paant for point in the final half and took the lead with less than five minutes to go. Montana stalled out the game as Berqulst fAlshCtt with 2b points to his credit. The Washington State Cougars closed fast In their game against, the Utags but couldn't break a semi-stall in the final minutes. The Cougars tried a fast break, unusual for a WSC team, and lost the bfcll Gi a number of occasions as they boomffd down court. Utah State showed ftrsnarkably well from the field; with four men scoring Jn the double figures. Joe Lockrye's 17 points was the top effort for Utah State while Larry Beck col lected 21 for WSC. Oregon held Brighani Young's loth ranked Cougars to a slim 35 31 lead in the first half of play but couldn't stem the BYU tide in the second half. Had It not been for Terrible Terry Tebbs. who collected 12 points for the Cougars in the first half, the Ducks would have made a game of It. Oregon put a de fensive blanket on Tebbs in the sefond half, only to have BYU's 0Ed P0incgar break loose. .The Ducks tried a full" court press and that failed. Tebbs wound Hp the game with 23 points. Oregon's Jerry Ross got 13. In other games Friday night: UCLA rolled over Denver Uni versity 68-40 at Long Beach, Bruin center Willie Naulls topping the scoring with 29 points. f It was the first win of the season ir the Uclans, who dropped two ' names to Brlgham Young last week. Purdue forward Joe Sexson buc keted two free throws to give Ois team a come-from-behind 59-58 vic tory over Southern California In me last nine seconds, rne Tro jans led 40-31 at halftimc.

A Washington Regents Back John Cherberg 8EATTLE ifi Coach "Cowboy" Johnny Cherberg. accused by his football players of rough riding. Is tall in the saddle again at the Uni versity of Washington after ihe Board of Regents Saturday ordered him rehired for another year. The regents capped a five-hour closed-door session with a brief open meeting In which they voted unanimously to retain the coach for 1958. Cherberg, who succeed ed Howie Odell In 1953, has been hired on a year-to-year basis. Cherberg thanked the rcgenls "tor the opportunity to coach the Huskies" and added: "I'm looking forward, not backward. I've learned a lot in the last two weeks." He said he was confident he could patch up his troubles with the players who revolted at Uie close of the 1955 season. About 15 of the 35 Involved were seniors. Most of the players In his start ing eleven remained aloof from the controversy. The rebels, taking their dis content to Athletic Director Harvey Cassill, accused Cherberg of tyranny and asked that he be tired. Later the board of control pf the Associated Students urged that Uie regents dismiss the coach. Vice President H. R. (Dlcki Ev erest conducted on Investigation and reported to the regents. He said the players had presented a "myriad of instances" to back their objections to Cherberg. In Hewins Sees UCLA Winning Pacific Coast Conference By JACK 1IKW1NS Associated Press sports Writer SEATTLE Ifl If It's true what they say about basketball, UCLA should wrap up the Pacific Coast Conference pennant for 1956. You know what they say: -The home team has an advantage of 2 to 10 points. On that basis the flag I was all but handed to UCLA when the schedule was drawn up. This, you have noted, is the first year for the new round-robin sched ule, but a close look reveals It's on ly half-round. Each team plays two games with every other conference member, but not on a home-and-home arrangement. The UCLA Bruins of sly Johnny Wooden are topnotchcrs in any company, with or without the help of the schedule. And Wooden's high class club will get three of its most dangerous opponents at home Idaho, Washington and Ore- Cronin Tells Press Boston To Sell Seals SAN FRANCISCO (UP) "We come to Snn FranciSL-o with the express purpose of selling base ball," siflfid Joe Cronin, Reneral manager of the Boston Red Sox and the nOw man behind tjie Seals. "We do not care lo talk finances. That kin!? or stuff is for the finan cial pages. Let's talk baseball." That was the way the portly young executive of the Red Sox organization greeted the press on his first, visit here since the Bos ton club bought the San Francisco entry in the Pacific Coast League. The lnral snorts wrllir u'r somewhat taken aback at such ai forthright statement. All they had f forthright statement. All they had heard for the last several years was hard times and where are we going to get our next payroll? "I'd be glad to talk abort the chances of getting a first class second baseman for the Seals," Cronin continued. "But I ffon't care to talk about our pay roll and our rental contract on Seals Stadium. That is outside the realm of sports." It was a refreshing 8p roach to the game of baseball especially in the financially stricken Pacific Coast League. There wasn't even a howl of protest when Joe an nounced that, due to rjrevious commitments, the Seals would train this year in Dcland, Fla. the fftst time In history that tho San Francisco club had geffie east. And no one complained, either, when Cronin put out the word that there would be only one night game per week in Seals Stadium on Fridays. It was a pleasure to see a big league team of experienced base- ball men in action at their first press conference here. Cronin has surroundCti himself with men vWho know the game: Jerry Donovan, past president of the California LeagOe, as club president and general manager; and Bob Frei tas. one of the brighter young minds In the game and formerly head of the San Jose Red Sox, as That's up to him.'tJoe replied. "But I Imagine when he sees all 'he huskv young athletes running around the infield, they'll ic-cm 'or him."

' their motion on retention of Cher berg Uie regents Included a note that there should be no censure of the rebellious faction. Everest disclosed that the school administration bncked Cherberg In his dismissal of Jim Sutherland as backfield coach. SuUierlsnd. who came here last winter from an assistanceshlp at California, was fired when the player rebslllon be gan. The disgruntled players said it was an effort to blame him for the uprising. Everest said Cherberg had bi"-n having trouble with "one of Uie assistant coaches" as long ao as last spring. He said the bead coach was empowered lo hire and fire his assistants and had the full backing of the administration in the Sutherland matter. Half a hundred reports, broad casters, television crewmen and spectators crowded into a narrow anteroom while the regents were in executive session. The television cameras were, pointed at the closed doors, wandering occasional ly to the ace of a tall clock in the corner. There was a stir of excitement v.'henever the door rallied. Everest opened It to admit Cassill, and utter a time returned to usher in Cherberg. Both came out later, smiling but noncommittal. The two were present, along Assistant Coaches Bud Kerr and Bill Marx, when Uie meeting was opened for the reading of Everest's report and the casting of the bal lot. gon. Almost unbeatable In their own crackerbox gym, the Bruins won't be any softer Just because they've moved uptown to larger quarters. In spile of that we have lo rate Tippy Dye's Washington Huskies on a part with the Wooden men for two reasons. One is the doubtful status of Morris Taft, a key UCLA player who may be lost for the en tire season due to an injury. The other is Dye's veteran team and strong bench. The squad is load ed with above-average players and could have a great one in sopho more Bruno Boin. The two Oregon entries, lightly regarded in some quarters, are going to be spoilers and could be contenders. Coach Bill Brochcr must wince when he looks- at a schedule that sends Oregon to UCLA, Stanford, Washington and Idaho. But his Webfoots, led by big Max Anderson, will chill a few hopes. A lot of tea rs were shed for Slats Gill at Oregon State when he lost Swede Halbrook, Tony Vlastel ica. Jay Dean and most of the rest of his 1955 title squad. But you can't undersell his Beavers. In Phil Shadoin he has a 7-footer who can move, atl sophomores Wayne Moss and Dave Gambee c-yjld give GUI 's prospects a lift. Idaho's Harlan Hodges has a outstanding team in the making and some of the conference coach es (with malice, no doubt) are say ing that it may arrive this season. But it's primarily a sophomore out fit and not likely to hit Uie top so quickly. Stanford is red hot on lis home court and that's where it will square ofi against Idaho, Oregon and UCLA. Southern California has a canny coach in the ex-Idaho tu tor. Forry Twogood, but it will take more than coaching ability to make his sopflomoPes look like O contend er. Washington State and California are likely to put on a two-team duel at the head of the bas&nent stairs. Coach Jack Friers Coug ars should be a shade better than they were tst spring. Pete Newell lost center Bob McKeen at Cal and has little but gloojp left and Gloom is very weak under the basket. The season's outstanding players could be Oregon's Max Anderson and UCLA's Willie Naulls. The sophgmore hotshots: Bruno Boin of Washington, Dave Gambee of OSC, Bob Goold of Idaho. Bob Reichert of WSC and Earl Robinson of Cal ifornia, o This is about the way the teams should finish: W L Washington UCLA Oregon State COegon Idaho Stanford southern Cal California Wash.

EMifisoii CHICAGO liTU-Time backed up for Sugar Ray Robinson Friday night and today the astounding re crowned 35-year-old middleweight champion had a three-month wait for a return match with dethroned, dejected Bobo Olson. It was almost three years ago to the day Dec. 18, 1953 that Rob inson abdicated Uie lUO-pound title he viciously reclaimed without too much cash profit. In what must go down as one of boxing's most brilliant comebacks, Robinson blasted a second-round knockout over favored, but befud dled Olson in a nationally-televised title match at the Chicago Stadium, However. Sugar Ray's $46,428 purse was attached by the federal Ring Expert Wrong, But Ray's Win Good Editors Note: Dr. Joyce Brothers, comely blonde psycliologlst, won "The $64,006 question" TV show by answering questions ibonl boxing-. In the following dtfr ' patch, written for the United Press, she put her knowledge of boxing to work aa a reporter for the first time, covering the Bobo Olson-Ray Robinson middleweight championship bout Friday night. By DR, JOYCE BROTHERS Written For The United Proas CHICAGO (UP) I couldn't have been more wrong. And I couldn't be happier about being wrong. I thought for sure Bobo Olson would win, which shows what sort of fight expert I am. But I guess a lot of other people guessed wrong too. It was a thrilling victory for Sugar Ray. He did what no other man In modern boxing niatory has done. He retired as champion of his weight class and came back to regain his title. So they'll have to rewrite that boxing adage, the one that says, "They don't come back." They do come back, or at least Sugar Ray did. Not only that, but he came back twice. He lost the title In England Little League Answers Suit With Session PITTSBURGH Iffl Some 60 field representatives of the Little League, Inc., Saturday opened a two-day session to resolve their standing. The meeting was called by de nosed Commissioner Carl E. totz, who has filed a $300,000 damage suit against the league, claiming breach of contract. Stotz did not attend the meet ing, which opened with a question. mswer session, then a closed-door session. Woodv Wolf of Wllllamsport, former baseball and football coach at several high schools and col leges, praised Stotz' founding of the league and his organizational work. Slou was fired Nov. 22 by the group's executive committee. The Little League charged Stotz tried to set up a rival league, went behind the backs of directors to gain sympathy for his point of view which actually obstructed the program, and tried to get league personnel to set him up as ab solute boss of the outlit. Stotz has filed in federal court ft $300,000 damage suit against the league, claiming changes in the by-laws of Uie organization had damaged his "power, prestige and authority." He also claimed the by-laws changes affected his lifetime con tract as league commissioner at a salary of $14,000 a year. Me gotiatlous between the league and Stotz to end differences have opened In Wllllamsport. R. A. Snyder, former field rep resentative of the league, told the meeting he resigned the post be cause board policy had resulted, in "commercializing" tne league. He said the board policy was re sulting in exploitation of the young players for "scllish, political and oilier reasons."

This was the Robinson once rated as the best piece of fighting man per pound in the history of tho game. Either that, or the J7-year-old Olson beset by marital difficulty was a woeful 3-1 favorite still shell-shocked from his third-round knockout by light heavy champ Archie Moore last June 22. At any rate, Olson finished his fourth 160-pound title defense flat on his back after a furious Robin son salvo In which a brutal left hook and right uppercut dealt the killing blows In 2:51 of Uie second. The amazing finish made Rob inson the first middleweight in his tory to recapture Uie 160-pound tl- to Randy Turpin in 1951, and won it back in New York the same year. So his knockout victory was really an historic moment and I was thrilled to have been there at ringside. They say that pound tor pound Robinson was the best fighter in the last quarter of a century. Judg ing by the way he fought Friday night, perhaps he still is. He seemed to be the calmest person In Chicago Stadium. I was impressed by the way hs relaxed in the clinches, as If conserving his strength. He went about his task like the old pro he Is, and when he saw his chance he took It. ' By contrast, Bobo seemed a little Jittery, He even seemed that way at the welgh-ln Friday. The first round seemed very close, but I thought Robinson took it on points, 10 to 9. He was ducking and slipping punches boautlfully, and if his foot work and reflexes have slowed It certainly wasn't apparent Friday nlRh'. From the historical point of view It's interesting to note that two other mlddlewelghts regained their titles, but not after retiring. Those two were Tony Zale, who was In troduced to the crowd Friday night and Stanley Ketchel, my favorite fighter although he was consider ably before my time. I picked Olson to win Friday night because he had such a big advantage in youth. I'm glad I wasn't that wrong on "The $64,000 Question." Speaking of television, it brings the fights to millions who couldn't otherwise see them, but It can never take Uie place of being there in the crowd. Somehow, seeing the light from an easy chair In your living room isn't the same. You don't get caught up in the crowd spirit like you do if you're there.

The International Boxing Club, probably as surprised as Olson over Filday niglu's outcome, an nounced Robinson would not- fight again until Olson has his entitled rematch within 90 days, Sid Flaherty, Olson's manager, and Jim Norris, IBC president, both seemed to think that if Olson can straighten out things with his estranged wife, a rematch will be Justified. Bobo'g wife, Dolores, comment ed after Olson's belting last night that maybe it "will put some sense In his head and he'll atop being a playboy." But whatever happens on the Ol son domestic front. Robinson will remain boxing's hero for some time. He can exult In his recap tured glory, promenading in TV and other personal appearances until Olson makes up his mind wheiher to meet him again. There Isn't much to encourage Olson to take on Robinson for a fourth time. It may have been psychology, as well as Sugar Ray's flailing fists, which dumped Olson last night. Bobo knew that Robinson knocked him out In 12 rounds al Philadelphia In 1950 and won a 15 round decision over him in 1952 at San Francisco. Olson admitted In his dressing room that he didn't know what hit him. "So fast, so fast," moaned Bobo, "it was his fast combination and I got careless." Olson asked if he tried to get up as Referee Frank Bikora counted him out. He did, but only by roll ing helplessly over at "eight" while his glazed eyes stared at the glaring arcllghta overhead. Olson didn't even win Uie first round with two Judges, Ed Hints and John Bray giving the round to Robinson and Referee Slkora calling It even. Perhaps It was t long right lead which Jolted Olson at the close of the first round that started' Bobo's finish. Olson tried to force the fight in the second. He came in close for a sharp exchange. And then Robinson, set up the kill. Sugar Ray lashed his patented leii-rigm combination. Olson hung in close tor a moment. Robinson blurred another one-two combina tion and then whistled Uie left hook and right upper cut on the chin which sent Olson tumbling on his back. A left hook followed, but the lights had gone out for Bobo.
