St. Louis 107 (ov ertime) Bevo Francis Leads Boston SALT LAKE CITY W Bevo Francis, who had the basketball world buzzing when he played for little Rio Grande College. Is still scoring points at a pretty good clip, and his coach says he's a better player. Francis Is averaging 23.4 points wllh the Boston Whirlwinds, who are touring the country with the Harlem Globetrotters, the Philadel phia Sphas and the Washington. DC, Generals. His current average is nowhere near the 50-01 points he averaged at Rio Grande in the 1952-53 and 1953-54 seasons, but as Boston Coach Sid Goldberg said in Salt Lake City yesterday; "His competition against the play for pay boys is much stlffer than at Rio Grande, where he played against many Junior college trams. And his whirlwind average has been built up during a back-breaking schedule of more than 300 games in the past two years. "Bevo was clumsy in college. His 6-9 height and tremendous shooting eye enabled him to score r lot of points, but he was a mediocre defensive player and he lacked lloor finesse. "Now. In addition to being the team's top scorer, he also leads in rebounds and Is great at bringing the ball down the lloor." Bevo, who Is 23. Is willing to learn. "I plan to play basketball for a living for several years." he said. "And If I want to stay In the game I've got to know everything there Is aboul It." Tonight's Ballfare CITY LEAGl'E BASKETBALL at Altamont Jr. High 8:30 Jets vs. KF Creamery 8.00 Nat l Guard "Golds" vs. Eagles Second Washington Football Revolt Echoes Heard SEATTLE I Echoes of the November-December football "players revolt" were heard on the University of Washington cam pus Wednesday. Mike Monroe, one of a group of players who protested last fall against what they said were the "tough" coaching methods of John ny Cherbcrg, confirmed he has transferred to Seattle University, which has no football team. And Lee Orosscup, one of four Santa Monica, Calif., freshmen ex pected to be top varsity players next season, told a reporter that the squabble which spilt the team and the campus last fall, may not be entirely resolved. "They say there Is dissension on the varsity team," Orosscup was quoted by The Post-Intelligencer. "None of us from Santa Monica wants any part of that." Hiqgins Has Few Worries DALLAS. Tex. (UP) A Texas drouth that is drying up his favor ite fishing holes concerns Ameri can League Manager of the Year Mike Higglns more than his Bos ton. Red Sox right now. The chunky, black-haired Hlg- gins doesn't seem to have a single qualm about his sophomore season at the helm of the Red Sox, wno stayed In the thick of the title fight until late In the season last year before fading and finishing fourth. He doesn't say that the Red Sox are going to win the pennant, but he is confident that the trade that brought Mickey Vernon, Bob Por- terfleld and Johnny Schmltz firm Washington will cure some of the Ills that beset the club a year aeo. I'd like to have a good rlgnt- handed, powcr-hlttlng outfielder." he said, "and we may come up wllh one, but I don't have any idea who he miRht be or where he might come from. We don't nave any de,als on the fire right now." INFIELD PROBLEM Otherwise, HiRglns says his bls- gest problem Is the Inlinld. Yet he quickly pointed to the fine Jobs ,.a.4 In n,r Vnrm TtflllPhln O I first I Billy Goodman at second, Billy Klaus at short and Qraay nation at third. "Goodman, who'd never played there before, and Klaus gave us a and I don't plan. to break It up for a trade or to insert a younger nlavcr." Hlggins said. "Billy also is too valuable at getting on base ahead of Ted Williams to be think ing about leaving him out of our plans." And. sneaking of Thumping xne- cdore, whose big bat was so pro ficient nfter he belatedly Joined the club last year, Hlgglns Is confident that baseball's highest paid player will be with the Sox from spring training on and that he will be a full-duty man. TOUGH OUTFIELD That means Williams. Jimmy Plersall, Jackie Jensen, Faye Throneberry and young Gene Stephens will give the Sox an ex cellent crew of outfielders. Hlggins brushed by the catching situation, where Sammy White and Pete Daley hold forth, and went on to declure that "the solid Yan kees" again were the team to beat and that the young Detroit Tigers and spirited Kansas City Athletics had the best chances of cracking the top division. 'Bama Cage, Coach Says Vote Too Low USCALOOSA. Ala. Wi Ala bama's basketball coach. Johnny Dee. might seem a little brash to some, but he thinks 19th place on The Associated Press poll Is too low for his boys. He thinks they're No. 2. "As far as I'm concerned, there's only one team In the country that could improve on our record." Dee said Wednesday. "That team Is San Francisco (currently No. lm the AP rankings I. "I defy any learn In America, with the exception of 'Frisco, to better our record to date." he said. Dee's dander was up when the weekly poll of Associated Press sports editors was released, plac ing Alabama In the 19th slot. ' Sure, we know we're going to lose two. three, maybe four games during the remainder of the sea son." Dee continued. "I believe our boys have done a marvelous Job of winning seven of their last 10 games, all way Irom home." he said. "Considering the home court ad amase In this game, how could I be anything but satisfied?" he asked. "We lost to North Carolina by 22. to St. John's by 8 and Notre Dame bv 6. We won all the- rest. "I don't believe any schedule In America, excluding San Fran cisco's, has demanded so much of a group of players. "We may not win the Southeast ern Conference, or be in the na tional tournament when it's all over, but as tl stands right now. and I mean it. I feel that we are the No. 2 team In tha nation not the 19th." Year : Monroe, a senior with a year of eligibility left at Washington, said he was moving across town to Seattle University because he liked the smaller classes. He said he also has advised American and Canadian profession al football leagues he will be avail able next fall, If he is not called up by the navy. A halfback, Monroe was a top prospect wnen he entered the uni versity as a freshman. Injuries plagued him lor two seasons ana he never quite lived up to expecta tions. Ht was one of a group of players who calleu on Amleuc Director Harvey Cassill at the end of the season last lali anu askea that Cherberg be removed as coach. Tile ttuara of Hegems later voted to retain Cherberg, however, after he told them he believed he could clear up difficulties with the play ers. At the height of the controversy, Cherberg nred Jim Sutherland, backfield coach who was credited with bringing Orosscup and other players to Washington from Santa iVlonica. The Post-Intelllgcnccr said Orosscup Indicated there still were rumblings among varsity players. "We .lave no argument with Cherberg as a coach." the fresh man was quoted, 'and as a mat ter of fact, we don t know very much about Cherberg as a coach. "However, we feel we do not want to play on a football team where there Is dissension. . ." Orosscup said he and others from Santa Monica returned to school for the winter quarter and will decide future plans later. Cherberg and Cassill were out of town, attending the NCAA con vention at Los Angeles. Rules Group Eyes Changes LOS ANGELES VR The Na tional Collegiate Athletic Assn. rules committee goes into Its an nual wrestling match with the rule book Thursday, but the chair man, Fritz Crisler. doesn't antici pate much of a contest. "By and large," said Michigan's athletic director, a past master in such mutters, "most everyone seems satisfied with the rules as they are." The committee has some 60 sug gestions to consider, some of which will merit more attention man oui ers. One. Crisler said, (hat will war rant "a lot of time" is a proposal that coaches be given the right to confer with a player of players on the sidelines when the cljck is stopped. Speaking personally. Crisler said he would oppose such "coaching from the sidelines." The former coach emphasized that he might revise his thinking when the proposition is debated by his committee, but as of now "I like to be in the position of developing my quarterback and In still confidence in him. This is more in line with college athletics, not to make trained seals out of them." There is another suggestion to outlaw, in effect, the lightwe'-rht, tear - away Jerseys. Crisler said complaints have been made, par ticularly from the South and South west, that too many timeouts have resulted while a player dons a new Jersey. Fabrics cannot be legislat ed, lie admitted, but the timeout periods might receive official at tention. Malin Nudges Sacred Heart Dino Obisso's Sacred Heart Tro jans threw a scare Into the Malin Mustangs Tuesday night in a non league game play on the Malin High maples, but the defending county champs managed to hold off the stiff Academy challenge to record a 70-64 basketball triumph. Leading 11-28 at the first quar ter's end, Malin had to settle for a 34-34 deadlock at halftlme. At the close of the third period's play Malin expanded Uieir lead to 10 points, 53-43. The Trojans rallied in the fourth chapter, but fell short of their mark. Norm Ollva and Ray Johnson combined to lead the Malln vic tory. Ollva poured 2 points through the nets, while Johnson hit for 24 more. Dean Micrmolis led the los ers with 21, while Jerry Depuy and Dick Wlckline each tallied 17.

SEC Team Still In Doghouse LOS ANGELES Ift-The Univer sity of Miami in Florida must re main In the doghouse for another year, the matter of- football televi sion, must be settled and a lively fight Involving small college bas ketball and track meets is In pr- -ect. That was the picture today as Ihe National Collegiate Ath'etlc assn. convention went into Its final stages. The NCAA Council, which Is the powerful policy directing body of f - frganlzatlon, Jos' night emend ed the probation of Miami for one year. The probation, second most stringent punishment in the books, keeps Miami ineligible for all NCAA championship events and participation in such invitational affairs as football bowl game?, the Dr-':e and Penn relays, and the Sugar Bowl midwinter games, all staged by agencies which abide by NCAA rulings. . The school was originally cited In October 1954 and placed on pro ration for one year on three counts. The probation was continued un it1 this convention pending a fur ther study of affairs in Miami. Originally, Miami was accused of paying transportation costs to the campus of prospective athletes, trying out the prospects and ex cessive use of grants in aid. A subsequent examination by a representative of the committee on infractions brought the allegation of rule violations involving a loan fund for medical students and ath lr, known as' the Eaton Founda tion. Also suspect was a matter of outside financial aid rendered to two unidentified athletes during the period of probation. The NCAA in its business session today was expected to ratify the council's action. Up for action too was a recom mendation that television controls be continued In 1956, patterned aft er the 1955 program. This consisted of eight national r.nd five regional telecasts. The expected controversy over the small college tournament ac tlvlty centered on the proposal that the NCAA stage an annual basket ball and track and field meet re stricted to this class of school. The issue was whether this pro posal would wreck the already es tablished National Intercollegiate Athletic Assn., which has been conducting meets for five years.

' Genuine Chevrolet Part ' l Pels, Medford Meet For Conference Lead Southern Oregon Conference and District 4-A-l leadership rests in the outcome of this weekend's two-game series at Pelican Court as Coach Don Peterson's Klamath Union High School Pelicans host the powerful Medford Black Tor nadoes Friday and Saturday nights. Medford, the number four prep team in the state, will probably rule a slight favorite going Into Friday evening's fracas because of their 7-2 record for play so far this season. Peterson's Pelicans have Braves Sign Gene Conley To 1956 Pact MILWAUKEE Of) Milwaukee's lean pitching giant, Gene Conley, "very satisfied" with his 1956 Braves' contract, said Wednesday he's putting 1955 and his shoulder mtsierles behind him and starting with a clean slate come spring. The 6-8 beanpole righthander signed a contract Tuesday report edly calling for 15.000 the same as last year when a shoulder sep aration ended his ser.son on Aug. 19 with a disappointing 11-7 rec ord and doused the Braves' hopes of overhauling the Dodgers. "I am very well satisfied," Con ley said with a smile. '.'I had no plans to sign. Just came in to pick up my mail and say hello. Gen eral manager John Quinn and I came to terms quickly. I didn't take a cut." The 25-year-old former Washing ton State College ace. who now makes his home in Milwaukee, said he felt "real good." "I'm confident my shoulder is all right. I haven't thrown any balls yet. I'll wait until spring for that, but I have no doubts my arm Is sound." Conley's ailment described as an injury to the ligaments that hold together the bones of his right shoulder didn't come on overnight. As early as July 22, Brooklyn treat ed him roughly and several of the Dodgers commented then that he didn't seem to have his stuff. Gene, rated the ace of the Braves' pitching staff in spring training and counted on for 20 vic tories, started out like a prairie fire, winning 7 of his first 8 starts. From then on M was touch and go. Even so, only Robin Roberts and Don Newcombe won 10 games before Conley last year.

The Black . Tornadoes' win-loss record looks especially impressive with victories over such top cali ber teams as Franklin of Portland, Ihe poll's number one team, Eu gene, rated in third spot, and Marshfield, another of the top 10 members. Medford's "best" night came with a 80-44 trouncing of Marshfield, one of the worst de feats ever tasted by a Coos Bay team. The only two losses came at the hands of Eugene and Cleve land of Portland. ' The Pelicans lost only to Reno and Jefferson, the prep ballots number two club, while turning in victories over Jeff and Reno, plus double triumphs over Grants Pass and Redding. Bob Tisdel, 5-11 guard, ' Is ex pected to lead the Black Tornado charge against the Whlteblrds this weekend, along with Dick Copple and Dick McLaughlin, the three leading scorers on the Medford club. Tisdel has tossed in 132 points in nine games, while Copple and" McLaughlin are next in line with 107 and 92. Klamath's top three point-makers in their eight games are Earle Tichenor. Glenn Moore and Donn Taucher with point totals of 141, 105 and 81. Tichenor has averaged 17.6 points per game, while Tisdel has recorded a 14.6 per game average. Not only will the Pelicans be seeking to better their 2-0 confer ence standings, but It has been over a year and a half since a Klamath Falls team has beaten Medford on the basketball floor. Last year the Tornadoes swept four straight from the Pels. In the 1953-54 season, Klamath won the first two games, then dropped the last pair, which makes it six games straight for the red and black hoopsters of Frank Roelandt. The preliminary game both nights will feature Ray Coley's KUHS Junior varsity club and Med ford's Jayvee squad. Game time for the preliminary fray is 6:45, and the main game gets underway at 8 o'clock. Fights TUESDAY'S FIGHTS By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HOLYOKE, Mass Bobby Couch ense. 130.
