OREGON PAGE NINE OSC's Defense Stops Cougars; U W Victor By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Oregon Stale's defending Paci fic Coast Conference basketball champions, even though the Beav ers may be short on the offensive side, pioved Friday night they have a defense to be reckoned with. . The Beavers held Washington Slate's undermanned Cougars to a paltry 12 points during the first half with a tight man-to-man de fense and came out with a 49-40 victory. Oregon Slate's 6-6 center, Dave Oainbee, was the game's high scorer with 21 points. Larry Beck was Washington State's top scorer with 12. The Beavers held a 25-1$ half time advantage. In other PCC games Friday night, the winners were Washington, UCLA and California. The Oregon Ducks drew a bye. Washington's Huskies made full use of the home floor advantage ns they handed Stanford its firs; Joss of the season, 57-42. and avenged two pre-season losses to the Indians. It was the fifth straight home iloor victory lor the Huskies. Washington moved into a 10-0 Southpaws liwaukee By BOB PARKIN United Press Sports Writer GRAY SUMMIT, Mo. (UP) Manager Charlie Grimm of the Milwaukee Braves said today he would give his banjo-plunkin' left arm for some good left-handed pitching. The National League's senior manager said his second-place Braves were set for the 1956 pen nant battle with the exception of lefties in the bullpen and a pos sible replacement at second base. Grimm expects a "helluva" battle from Toledo's Frank Torre for the first base Job. "I like my ball club," the af- Sucker Shift Discussed By NCAA Group LOS ANGELES W The "sucker shift" was under scrutiny today by a hand-picked group of the na tion's collegiate football coaches. The group, the Rules Committee of the American Football Coaches Assn., was in session as athletic administrators from across the na tion gathered for the 50th annual convention of the National Col legiate Athletic Assn. Although the coaches' rules com mittee Is solely an advisory group, the NCAA rules panel which meets late next week, will listen to Its recommendations. Ray Eliot of Illinois, AFCA president and a member of the NCAA Rules Committee, said be fore today's meeting he anticipated no major changes in the rules would be- recommended. But, he Bald, the "sucker shift" which is dignified in the rule book as "false start." certainly would be dis cussed. The "sucker shift" is a move ment by an offensive team from one formation into another. It's legal, but has been used sometimes in the past solely as a gimmick to draw the defensive team offside and earn a five-yard penalty. If you watched television of the East-West Shrine game at San Francisco last Saturday, you saw what one of the East coaches said later was a perfect example. The West shifted from the split T into the single wing,, an absolutely legitimate move utilized frequently by such multiple offense teams as Michigan State and Southern Cali fornia. But, according to the East coach, there was much shouting by the West players which confused the Easterners. They Jumped the pass from center and an offside penalty was assessed.

Washington's Ron Patnoe col lected 10 free throws and a field goal for 12 points, the top scoring elfort of the contest. UCLA co-favored with Wash ington to win the title-blitzed Idnho at Los Angeles, 02-73. Willis Naulls got 26 points for the Brums anil Morris Taft contributed 31. Gary McEwen, Idaho's center, tepped the Vandals In the scoring department with 16 points. Gary Simmons got IS for the losers.

Ore gon take on Portland University in a non-conference affair. Needed By Grimm fable Grimm said. "If we stay intact and Gene Conley comes through, we've got as good a chance as Brooklyn or anybody else." Conley, the big right-hander who suffered an injured back after compiling an 11-7 record, is the club's big IF. He went out when the Braves were only about 10 games behind the championship bound Dodgers, against whom his record showed consistent -mastery. GOOD BALANCE "The picture of 1955 to me was good balance In this league, except for Brooklyn," Jolly Cholly said "and I don't think they'll get off as good, which means even bet ter balance this season. "They took it all because they were terrific. . . but this Is 1956." Grimm, basking In the glow of the fireplace at his hilltop farm home, foresaw a lack of left handers as a weakness on the Braves, but for a team with a dearth of southpaw hurlers, Mil waukee has one of the best in 17-game winner Warren Spahn. "Spahn, Lew Burdette, Bob Buhl and Ray Crone proved last year they can carry the load," he said. "The bullpen hinges about this fellow (John) Red Murff, Chet Nichols and Conley and, maybe, (Lou) Sleater." Sleater and Nichols are the only left-handers on the list. Slea ter was Just drafted in the search for some southpaw feller. "Our ball club will be very much the same, unless some hot, young fellows can eat someone out," Grimm said. "As a result, we'll spend more time in spring train ing giving the kids a chance to make the team. Those with the brightest pros pects, he said, are Bob Trow bridge, Paul Cave and Humberto Robmson, all right-handed pitch ers. With Del Crandal and Dell Rice on the catching staff, the Braves need only a third stringer, "pre ferably a left-handed hitter," Grimm said. OUTFIELD SET m.lflnlJ annaarc Kttt Ullh Bobby. Thomson, expected to re turn to form after harassing in juries; Billy Bruton, Andy Pafko, Chuck Tanner and Hank Aaron, the Braves' leading hitter at .314 last season. "And Hank hasn't even matured vet," Grimm said of the 21-year-old outfielder. "He will be a helluva player." Johnny Logan seems to be a fixture at shortstop. Grimm indi cated his value by saying that, if the Braves had lost Logan the way they did first baseman Joe Ad cock, Conley and third baseman Eddie Mathews at times last year, "we wouldn't have finished in first division."

Lausse Battle To Ring Draw NEW YORK (Al Eduardo Lar.sse, the darling of Argentina. knew Saturday why they call Milo Savage a "cutle." The handsome South American had to get off the floor and close with a rush to get a draw in Frl day night's 10-round nationally- televised battle at Madison Square Garden. Savaec is the veteran from Salt Lake City who pulled the old "shoestring trick" on Holly Mlms at St. Nicholas Arena last year. Yelling at Minis "look out, your f-hoestiing's untied" he belled the .Tentleman on the whiskers when he dropped his glance. Savage said in his dressing room F riday night he would have tried the "shoestring trick" on Lausse, loo. bul he found out that Eduar do's English Is limited to a few phrases. Savage didn't have to pull that trick. He already had lurea Laus se into one trap in the seventh round. For six rounds, Savage fought out of a shell defense, marching forward wilh hands held high. In the seventh he dropped his hands, as though inviting Laus se to throw his devastating left hook. "I threw Jabs to his body. Just enough to get his guard down," said Savage. "When I threw the right, hi3 chin was there." Lausse goi right up almost as oon as he hit the floor after tak ing that right but he had to go to a neutral corner while Referee Barney Felix gave him the auto matic eight-count required by New York rules. Cut on the right eyebrow In the eighth round, Lausse shot th works in the ninth and tenth to pain the draw. In the last round he battered Savage from corner to corner in decisive fashion but couldn't drop him. Lausse. the 5 to 1 favorite, weighed 1593. Sav age isa. Lausse's winning streak of 31 fights wasn't broken although it was slightly bent. The voting was close. Judge Ar tie Aidala had it 5-5 with six points for each.

The crusading chairman of the New York State Athletic Commis sion scored two vital knockdowns Friday. President Jim Norrls of the powerful International Boxing Club assured Helfand of his "100 per cent support" and Gov. Theo dore McKcldln of Maryland vetoed his commission's permission for the shift of the London Sporting Clubs Monday night television nights from New York to Balti more. Several members of ithe Guild. which had voted 66-0, Thursday night to defy the edict of the com mission to dissolve by Jan. 16, ap peared ready to throw in the sponge. Helfand had ordered gulldsinen to sever connections with their or ganizationswhich he charged as being "monopolistic." "devious," and "extorsive" or face loss of Uieir licenses. 9 Norris' statement that he intend ed to keep on promoting boxing in New York and make "drastic moves" if he had to, came as a surprise to many of the managers who thought he would stick with the Guild. In the past he has stated "I need the guild; the Guild needs boxing." "The executive board (of the Boxing Guild of New York) will decide what to do," said Charlie Johnston. "They'll meet over the weekend, go over everything and see what's what. The board always handles things." Norns followed up his statement that "we're cooperating with Hel fand 100 per cent" by announcing he had signed middleweight Gene Fullmer of West Jordan. Utah, and Gil Turner of Philadelphia, for Jan. 20 at Syracuse, N.Y., with Hel land's approval. Fullmer Is managed by Marv Jenson of West Jordan. He is not a guild member.
