(flV-Michigan State's Rose Bowl squad was leg weary today, more from a busy round of sightseeing than from football workouts. The social whirl has halted however, and Uie squad will settle down to concentrate on football. "I want them to be tired at this stage of the game," said Coach Duffy Daugherty. "It's a good thine to have them dragging a lit tie and the outside stuff out of ,their systems. "We planned these organized tours so they wouldn t be cnasing around in cars on their own. They'll be getting a steady diet of football from now on." The only remaining extra cur- riculnr activity for the squad is the Big Ten diner Friday night. UCLA knocked off entirely yester day. Coach Red Sanders said the one-day layoff was decided on be cause partly because of a muddy practice field and also to give some minor injuries a chanco to heal. Both teams scheduled afternoon practices from now on in. The MSU squad muddied its uni forms in a two-hour morning drill yesterday. The players were hit ting the dummies with a solid whack but coaches didn't regard jit as too good. "I don't want them too sharp at this point," Daugherty said. "If they were, they would be stale be fore the game."

(UP) Aging Willie Pep, out to regain the world featherweight title, and young Andy Arel, out to win fame in his first "big money" fight, meet tonight in a 10-round nation ally televised bout. Win, lose or draw, the 22-year-old Arel, from Masscna, N.Y., will pocket at least $5,000 from the fight, his first television appear ance. Arel previously has nevtr earned more than $400 for any one fight. But the up-and-coming southpaw Is likely to have plenty of trouble when he steps into the ring against tne determined Pep at the Miami Beach Auditorium. Pep is favored at 5-1. Pep. in his late 30's, has been trying for a comeback and figures a win over Arel could help him get the big chance he wants a shot at Sandy Saddler's crown. Arel has more to win than Pep does. A victory before the national audience could put him in the limelight for keeps and give him a ranking that might lead to a title shot for him. If Pep wins. It will be just another triumph In his long string. YOUR GUESTS Will 10VE IT TOO! TAKE HOME A BOTTLE TODAY! . v. J KCAMADAV TBAIH7 m'RBOW AmtrUa'i Firtail C. Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiiltay Yean Old-84 FW 0ifribvfl by: Cnwerio Dry Omntf Ala, lot , W.w VanV Morabito Fed Up With Fans Bv HAL WOOD United Press Sports Writer ' SAN FRANCISCO (UP) An thony J. (Tony) Morabito, the controversial president of the San Francisco Forty Niners, is getting a bit fed up naving otner people announce his new coach. "It seems everybody knows my business 1000 per cent better than I do," says Tony. "But I guess everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion." It is doubtful that Morabito ever will understand newspaper men and it may be that news papermen never will understand Tony. Actually. Morabito has a million dollar company in the Forty Niners and, in an ordinary busi ness, he should be- able to run it as he wants. But it so happens that the thou sands of fans of the San Francisco Bay area, who make the organl. zation a success, demand a voice in running the organisation just as uiey ao in DaseDall or any oth er sport. NO COMMENT Last year when the rumor got out that Buck Shaw was on the pan, newspapermen called up Tony and asked about it. "No comment," Tony answered to his later sorrow. For months after that he was referred to as No Comment Morabito." This year when Red Strader was under fire, Morabito couldn't De drawn into a "no comment" phrase but he got lambasted nevertheless, for failure to make an out-and-out statement. "I hold back to make a thorough study of the situation." Tony ex plains. "Everything I do is for the best interests of the club, in my belief. Therefore, I don't want to make any snap judgment on the nirmg or tiring of a coach." Tony is withstanding the pres sure pretty well these days. Groups of loyal supporters have been suggesting to him that Frankie Albert or Red Hlckey or Chuck Taylor or Eddie Erdlaus or Bud Wilkinson would be just the man for the job. But Morabito Is looking over ine neia to una tne man he be lieves is the perfect coach. BACKFIRE ADVICE It has reached the point where Tony is becoming adverse to tak ing uie newspaper wrueis au vice. During the past season, one columnist called him a "cheap skate" because he wouldn't let the kids in the end zones keen the footballs that were kicked on point-after-touchdown. Tonv didn't like that, so he Mowed the lads to rush out for the ball. In two weeks there was such a mob scene in the end Bones every time the ball was kicked that youngsters were getting injured in the crush and It took a score of policemen to put a halt to the running. "That was one bit of advice I never should have taken," said Morabito. So, despite all the helpful hints he has been getting from letter writers and columnists. It is doubt ful that Tonv will let the local people pick his coach. Skiers Tackle Cross Country SPOUT SPRINGS. Ore. f.fl Skiers competing for berths on the Nordic combined team that will represent the United States In the winter Olympics next month were to tackle the cross country course at the Olympic training camn here Wednesday, weather permitting.

These and the several other minor changes take effect Jan. 1, 1958. The rules on an amateur status emphasize a prohibition against acceptance of compensation or ex penses for personal appearances, as a golfer, on television and radio or at testimonial dinners. . Pettit Sets New Record By UNITED PRESS It takes a real champion to bounce back from a bitter per formance with a brilliant one and that's just what Bob Pettit Lpf the St. Louis Hawks accom plished today.

Coaches Plot How To Stop High Scorers NEW YORK (UP) R 1 v a coaches plotted today how to stop All-Americans Bill Russell of San Francisco and Slhugo Green of Du quesne In tonight's semi - final round of the Holiday Festival Bas ketball Tournament at Madison Square Garden, San Francisco's national cham pions are a six-point favorite over Holy Cross In one scml - final, and UCLA Is a two-point pick over defending champion Duquesne In the other. Holy Cross Coach Roy Lccnlng said he is going to leave the job of stopping slx-10 Russell strictly up to his own classy center, six seven All-America candidate Tom Helnsohn. Russell scored 26 point in the opening round and Heln sohn 36. "I will be only too happy to do so," said Leenlg when asked if Helnsohn would defend agninst Russell man-for-man. "But I'.1, tell you one thing I'll bet 8an Fran cisco doesn't assign Russell to guard Helnsohn." Coach Phil Wool pert of San Francisco said Leenlg was right Russell won't defend man-for-man against Helnsohn. But Woolpert said it's not because he's afraid. He wants Russell to play a "float ing" defense because he Is best at roaming around and blocking shots by all the opposing players. Coach Johnny Wooden of UCLA said he was "tremendously Im pressed with Oreen's court man ner" In Duquesne's opening-round victory and said he might assiun two or three men to guard the six-three, all-around whiz. That would leave the other Duke play ers somewhat free, but even bu quesne Coach Donald (Dudey) Moore admits his team is some thing of a one-man outfit. COMPLETE 10 FT.

While Oklahoma Is primarily a rushing team and ranked first In the country In that respect during the 1955 season, the Sooners spent most of yesterday's two heavy workouts on aerial offense. The practice schedule indicated that Wilkinson wants to be pre pared to take to the air If his speedy ground attack is blocked by the rocky Maryland defense.

Jefferson of Portland Is slated to play on the KUHS court Thurs day and Friday nights.

The Northern California basketballers were to meet Eagle Point (Mon day) and Phoenix (Tuesday) in half of a doubleheader program. uiqk jeweu, sports writer of the Medford Mall Tribune, reports Areata "didn't ahow."
