TUESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1956 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE SEVEN Monday Night Tiffs Target Of Hell and Clean Up fiftove By JACK HAND NEW YORK W Wllh the Box ing Guild of New York In full re treat, Julius Helfand, chairmnn ol the New York State Athletic Com mission, is concentrating his lire on the Monday night fights. Yesterday he ordered the com mission counsel William P. Thomas to prepare charges against promo tors Tex Sullivan and Willie Gilzen berg and their London Sporting Club, which runs the televised Monday fights at St, ' Nicholas Arena, "on the Maryland situation and other matters." Last week Helfapd said he in tended to investigate to see if the St. Nick's promoters violated the law forbidding association with known criminals when they tried to move to Baltimore, effective Jan. 23. The attempted move was Colleges May Take Pro Rule By OSCAR FBALEY United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP) College bas ketball has more politicians than Tammany Hall and a hard core of defense-minded, possession play coaches can be expected today to block a new attempt to appropriate the professional 24-second rule for the collegiate game. . Yale's Howard Hobson spear headed the new push when he as serted that the "pro rule has been a fine thing." It's adoption will be the big issues at this year's rules meeting, he admitted, and it "has a, good chance." All of which probably Is wishful thinking. The answer is that there are two schisms In coaching. Call it the defense-minded against the offense-minded. Or call it the "coun try" coaches against the "big city" coaches who have seen the success of the pro brand of play and ache to copy It. NARROWNESS , There is no attempt by the city boys to "slicker" the fellows from the hinterlands. But the rural tu tors look at it that way and there seems some basis for the accusa tion that they are guilty of a cer tain narrowness when they frown on anything born of professional ingenuity as a taint to the purity of their game. Thus they banded together, under tht banner of such defense-minded Hank Iba of Oklahoma A&M, and killed the adoption of the 24-second rule last year. And they'll probably do It again. Hobson, sounding the progressive slogan that the 24-second time limit on possession would provide a faster game and help kill stalling, has another suggestion which is so novel that It probably won't even get a hearing. He would like to see three points given for a basket scored from out side 24 feet. "Only one-ninth of the total scor ing Is done from outside that area," he explains. "Even If we Install the 24-second rule, the zone still could be used unless we give a premium on long shots and make the defense come out of the zone to stop them." PAYS OFF Hobson's theory Is that in base ball, as example, the home run pays off more than Just the ordi nary hit. "Making a long field goal worth three points would kill the deaden ing zone defenses," he Insists. "It would make for a faster game, make the defense come out and. as result, allow more space for drive in shots." Ken Norton, a member of the Rules Committee, agrees with Hob son that "we'll eventually have to come to a time limit of some sort." But Norton's theory is that the col legians, not having the over-all competitive equality of professional teams, may need as much as a minute to get off their shots. "Twenty-four seconds is plenty long enough." Hobson contends. "And this year the rule has a real chance." But don't bet on It! 'Pt'RFECT JUNIOR Ted iHoffman.

Mangrum made it a start to finish triumph in winning the Los Angeles fixture, beginning with two straight 66s, then a 68 and a 1-over-par 12 that was good enough to stand up at the windup of the 3Uin annual event Monday. The one-time National Open champion, Who matched the late, great Mac Donald Smith in win ning this one four times, plans to play in Bing Crosby's big clam bake at Pebble Beach this week end. Lloyd's 72 gave him a 12-hole total or 272, breaking Dy one stroke the tournament record here set In 1938 by Jimmy Thomson at a comparable Griffith Park Municipal course. He held a S-stroke lead over Tommy Bolt and Jerry Barber, beginning the round, and five -over Bolt and six over Barber after the first nine. Barber wound up with a 10 for 275 and Bolt, with two steady but fruitless straight par 71 rounds, at 276. The one-stroke difference was worth Sl.000. Barber collected $3,200 second prize. Tommy $2,200 The rundown behind the top three: Cary Middlecoff, a 70 for 277 and $1,800; Dutch Harrison and John Barnum, 73s for 281 and SI .400 apiece, and Gardiner Dick inson. 71. and Jim Ferrier, 70, for 282 and $1,050 each.

The guild, groggy and broken in spirit, postponed a meeting sched uled for last night by its board of directors. Instead, a session of the lull membership has been set for Wednesday. Although many managers perhaps a majority of the 69 members will quit the ship, the guild probably will con tinue to operate, according to a source close to the situation. Sullivan said he was told in Baltimore, when arranging to move the St. Nick's- show. "I'd have to copromote with Benny Trotta (whom Helfand blasted as having a criminal record). My sole dealing with Trotta was his Introduction of ' me to Nahum Bernstein, the man who owned the Baltimort Coliseum where the bouts were to take place." Devore Named To Eagle Job PHILADELPHIA i The Phila delphia Eagles end their search for a top-caliber head coach today with the signing of Hughie Devore of Dayton University and they have National Football League Commissioner Bert Bell to thank for their good fortune. Devore, a 46-year-old veteran college coach and Notre Dame star of the Knute Rockne era. told The Associated Press last night Bell convinced him to accept the pro oner. Devore said he was not inclined at first to take the assignment, left vacant by the dismissal of Jim Trimble. In fact, he entered Into a verbal agreement Saturday to remain at Dayton for another three years Nevertheless, he was told, the of fer was still open. "I've known Bert for a long time and I decided to ask his advice on the matter," Devore explained in a telcphont interview last night from his West orange, N.J., home "Well, to be honest, with seven kids and the oldest wanting to start at Notre Dame in September, my primary concerns were security and money. At first, I felt I'd be better off at Dayton but recon sidering what Bert had said about the pro offer, I decided yesterday that I would accept it. "He convinced me that it was the chance of a lifetime and tint I had had enough college exper ience to take on the assignment. He gave me the confidence to make the Jump." Devore will sign his contract and attend a press conference here later today. It is expected that he probably will receive between $15, COO and $18,000 a year with a three-year pact. At Dayton for the past two years, Devore posted an 8-11-1 record. A club official Id Devore was sought because of his proven abil ity to handle players. Part of the blame for the Eagles' fourth-place tie in Or.i Eastern Divi sion last season has been attrib uted to dissension among the players. re GOING PLACES?

Coach Blasts U of C Action LOS ANGELES (IP) Episodes such as the penny-throwing that brought a forfeit in last Saturday's California-Southern California bas ketball game at Berkeley demand drnstio administration action, says Coach Forrest Twogood of Use. Unless such administration uc tion is taken in controlling fans, a serious and perhaps "calami tous" Incident awaits basketball, he spid. "I think it Is an administration problem and a serious one." Tvo pood told the weekly meeting of basketball writers Monday. Referee Al Lighter forfeited Sat urday's game to Southern Califor nia which led. 77-64, with 3 min utes 15 seconds to play. Earlier he had been struck hi the cyo with a penny and spectators were warned against repetition of the coin throwing. When the tossing continued, Lightner called the game. He said such actions threat ened placers with injury. Twogood said, "I'd like to go on record now In saying there was no animosity between the players, and I'd like to exonerate Pete Newell (California coach) from any blame in the Incident. If all the rooting sections, including Southern Cali fornia's, conduct themselves In the same manner as the boys out Uiere playing the game, there will never be any trouble." Those throwing the coins and de bris were identified as California fans. Twogood said he agreed with Lightner's decision "from an In jury standpoint." He did not elab orate. 9n &hh$ By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BASKETBALL NEW YORK The University of San Francisco and Dayton rank ed one-two In the weekly Asso ciated Press collese poll.

Rush O Presto Logs O Wood O Fuel Oil NCAA Eyes New Bugaboos LOS ANGELES t.T Football television and athletic recrulluig, the new major bugaboos of col lege sports, were hi the spotlight Tuesday at the 50th annual con vention of the National Collegiate Athletic Assn. Renewal of NCAA controls on television appeared ready for adop tion, but attempts to control re cruiting on a national basis seem ed headed for defeat as repre sentatives of some 300 colleges and universities met in genernl assembly. The committee which controlled television last fall said It was satis fied with the eight national and five regional gams program which viewers across the nation watched on their living room screens. Chairman E. L. iDick) Romney commissioner of the Mountain States Conference and TV Com mittee Chairman, recommended that similar controls be adopted for 1966. Roundtable discussions by ath letic directors and faculty repre sentatives on a recommendation by the recruiting committee Indicated that any attempt to institute na tlonal controls on how high school athletes could be handled would be defeated. Both proposals are scheduled for decision Wednesday. The television question wa,s con sidered likely to provoke some de bate, but the small colleges sur prisingly were expected to go along with proposals to continue a 1058 program substantially the same as that In effect last season. The major schools on the West Coast, most of them members of the Pacific Coast Conference, were expected to speak out for a versal of the 8-5 national-regional system, but the chances were that they would go along with the de cision of the entire membership without undue argument. Both the eastern section of the nation and the Midwest, primarily the Big Ten. were said to be happy with the present arrangement. The two areas represent a huge seg ment of the voting strength The NCAA recruiting committee has an amendment to the bylaws due for presentation to the dele gates. It would limit colleges to paying expenses of only one round- trip to a campus by a high school athlete and ban "booster clubs' from picking up the tab for any such excursion. Both athletic directors and fac ultv representatives indicated Mon day that they were opposed U any attempt to control recruiting on B national basis. The general con census by both groups was that too many geographical dllierences existed to enable any national plan to work effectively. RACING ' MIAMI, Fin.

Ortiz Wins, Snares Fans NEW YORK (UP) Lightweight Carlos Ortii, a kid from the East Side's teeming Gas House district, will become a TV fight favorite, Promoter Tex Sullivan predicted today, because of the class he dis played while winning decisively over Ray Portllla at St. Nicholas Arena Monday night. Unbeaten Ortiz, 19. won his 13th straight professional bout on a lop sided eight-round decision over heavier and more experienced Por tllla of New York in his first tele vision appearance. He displayed exceptional hand speed, good power and unusual countering ability: but he lacked poise, was awkward with his leads and appeared too anxious to score kayo. He was favored at 13-5. Scaling 135 pounds to Portllla's HI, Ortiz won bv round scores of 6-2, 5-2-1 and 6-2. His solid left jnbs, left hooks and straight right -hook up Portllla several limes but could not put hlin down. In his eagerness, he missed often wltli his Sundtiy punch. Sullivan explained today, "A kid has to be good to attract the fol lowing he's already got In the East Side Gns House district. That's the best fight area In the city. He drew most of the 1.700 fans Into St. Nick's last night in spite of the drizzle. He's already got the best following of anybody to come out of the Gas Houso district since Billy Graham."
