the New York State Athletic Com

Yesterday he ordered the com

Monday fights at St, ' Nicholas

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!

Mangrum, his bk account fat
tened by $6,000 off his fourth viC'
tory in a Los Angeles Open, has
served a warning to his brother
Professional golfers that he is
back in sound physical shape and
aiming at further conquests.
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

when he sided with Helfand against
the guild.
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

having a criminal record). My

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.

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

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.

"Hottest pro on the winter

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."
Graham, former welterweight
challenger, was New York's most
popular non-champion In the past
decade.

USF Seeking
38th Straight
Cage Vitcory
SAN FRANCISCO (UP) The
University of San Francisco Dons
go after their 38th straight basket
ball victory' tonight Just one game
short of the all-lime mark lor
major college.
Although the nation's No. 1 team
is expected to have little trouble
with Its opponent. Santa Clara, the
Dons got bad news from within
their own ranks.
Yesterday Bill Mallen, 6-foot,
3 1-2 Inch, 230-pound alternate for
ward, announced that he decided
to quit the squad so he could de
vole more time to studies.
Mallen alternated with Carl
Boldt and Mike Farmer at for
ward this season to help the Dons
win 11 straight. He was the hero of
the Holy Cross semi-final game" in
the Holiday Festival Tournament
at New York.
Coach Phil Woolpert announced
Mallen's withdrawal at the weekly
meeting of the Northern California
Basketball Writers.
Mallen. who Is a very serious
student, had decided to forego the
game In order to concentrate on
his studies," Woolpert said. "He
plans to become a lawyer."
Santa Clara goes Into tonight's
game at Kezar Pavilion without
chance, statistically. The Broncos
have a record this season of 2 wins
and nine losses but they have
habit of being "up" for the Dons.
The two teams tied for the Call
fornin Basketball Association title
in 11)53, Santa Clara edged USF by
one game for the title in 1954, and
the Dons took the cup last year on
their way to the national collegiate
championship.
