Huskies,

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

Board of Regents Saturday
ordered him rehired for another

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

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

The rebels, taking their dis

of tyranny and asked that he be

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

minds In the game and formerly

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.

report and the casting of the bal

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

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

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.
I was flabbergasted Friday night
wnen me xnocKout came, x was
as excited and happy as I was on
"The $64,000 Question."
I can't be sure but it seemed
to me Sugar Ray was crying with
Joy. I know I was.

tie twice.
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.
