an Francisco Shoots For
cora Ileing 39th
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The all-conquering San Francisco
Dons, who in little more than a
year have bounded out of obscurity
to become the top team in major
college basektbalt, shoot for a record-equaling
39th consecutive vic
tory tonight Friday the 13th.
The Dons play Fresno State. And
it doesn't figure to be a Black
Friday for Coach Phil Woolpert's
powerhouse.
Two season's ago, San Francisco
was classified as a small college,
missing out in a bid for the NIAI
season-end tournament. Last sea
son, the Dons erupted, rolling to
the NCAA championship against
the big boys.
Now with a 12-0 season record
and 38 straight over-all, the Dons
are on the threshold of tying the
all-time major college mark set by
Long Island University in 1935-31
and matched by Seton Hall in 1939
41. If the Dons, paced by All Ameri
ca Bill Russell and Casey Jones,
pack away No. 39 as expected to
night, they'll have a two-week
layoff before trying for a record
in their next game Jan. 23 against
California.
LOST PRESTIGE
While the Dons were Idle last
night, North Carolina State, third
ranked in the nation, regained
some lost prestige by beating Mary
' land 73-64. The Wollpack, which
dropped from second to third in
The Associated Press poll when
Duke snapped lis winning streak
at 23 games last weekend, had to
get a move on to butlast a closing
surge by the Terps.
Kentucky, fifth ranked, had a
breeze swatting Tulane 85-63.
Furman, "however, had to scam
per to beat Davidson 12-70 in a
Southern Conference game, and
Houston dumped Tulsa 69-60 In a
Missour Valley Conference contest.
N.C. State led by 23 points mid-
Rules Group
Leaves Shift
To Coaches
LONG BEACH, Calif. Wl As
far as the Football Rules Commit
tee of the NCAA is concerned, it
is up to the coaches of the country
to solve the false start or so-called
'"sucker shift."
The false start is a move by
one team to draw another team
offside and gain a 5-yard penalty.
Earlier this week in Los An
geles the American Football Coach
es Assn. voted to let its committee
on ethics deal with the culprits.
So the governing NCAA rule
makers in session here decided
Tnursday to let It go at that, and
chairman H. O. (Fritz) Crisler of
the University of Michigan, de
clared the coaches are to be com
mended and his committee "sup
ports them enthusiastically."
Friday the cdmmittee delved
further into 66 other suggestions
for rule revisions, including coach
ing from the sidelines.
Also debated was a recommen
dation that clock time on a free
kick start when the kicked ball
touches the receiving team instead
of at the moment of the kick.
Valuable time in the final seconds
can be consumed, as the rule now
stands, if the kicker punts long
and out of bounds, for instance.
The committee Is also studying a
situation where the official "loses
the ball," meaning he thought the
fullback hud it. was stopped cold
in the middle of the line and the
whistle is blown, only to discover
that the quarterback faked a hand
off and passed for a sizeable gain,
If not a touchdown.
E. E. Wieman. secretary of the
rules body and athletic director
at the University of Denver, em
phasized that this could, and has.
created "an inequity." But whether
it can be remedied in the rule
book is something else.
The committee was 'impressed"
Wieman went on, with reports
from users of the rubber football.
The present rule demands mutual
agreement from rival coaches if
the rubber ball is used in a game.
The coaches association itself did
not make a single recommendation
for a rule change. This is the first
time this has happened since the
NCAA began functioning in 1909.
The 66 suggestions, screened from
Cormick of the Pacific Coast Con
ference, were offered from other
sources.

that he is a strlctly-for-fun golfer

NBA Backing
Expected In
Ring Clean Up
CHICAGO OB Outmoded- codes
are hampering some National Box
ing Assn. members who are just
as interested as Julius Helfand in
ridding boxing of undesirables,
NBA President Lou Radzienda
said today.
Radzienda. member of the Illi
nois State Athletic Commission, in
dicated that full backing of Hel
fand's crushing of the New York
boxing managers' guild can be ex
pected at a regularly scheduled
meeting of the NBA Executive
Committee here tomorrow.
"But while the various NBA
members' are Just as interested as
Helfand . in cleaning out boxing's
undesirables, archaic codes stand
in the way of some," Radzienda
said.
"For Instance in Illinois we lack
the power that Helfand has in be
ing able to take specific action.
A person denied a license In Illi
nois has the right to appeal and
commission suspensions are sub
ject to administrative review. A
woman wrestler recently was re
fused a license but a court re
versed this.
"I've been trying to modernize
our state boxing code for seven
years. It hasn't been substantially
altered for some 28 years."
Radzienda said the NBA will "do
something" about following up
nonmember New York's lead
against the guild, but that "the
question is how to fit any similar
platform into each state's laws."
Helfand. chairman of the New
York commission which, under its
state's laws, is prevented from af
filiating with outside groups such
as the NBA. was invited to attend
the Executive Committee meeting.
He said developments in New York
made it impossible for him to at
tend. Asked If the NBA will take any
stand in regard to the Internation
al Boxing Managers Guild, parent
of the New York guild. Radzienda
said:
"As far as the entire picture is
concerned, I think it will turn out
nicely. Take away the New York
guild and what is the International
guild? In Chicago, you don't know
il's in existence."
Russ Meyer OKes
Terms With Cubs
CHICAGO iffi It's a cinch the
Chicago Cubs In 1956 won't lose
any more games to their old tor
mentor, pitcher Russ Meyer.
And that's about the only sure
thing the sixth place National
League finishers of last season
can say.
They have eliminated the pos
sibility of losing to Meyer by tlie
simple process of obtaining him
from the Brooklyn Dodgers. Seven
years ago the Cubs traded the 32-year-old
righthander only to have
him wreak vengeance by beating
them 24- times.
Now the lanky hurler from Peru.
111., is back in Cub uniform. He
agreed to contract terms Thurs
day. Meyer won only six games for
the Dodgers last year, but three
of them were over the Cubs. His
presence is bound to make for
some improvement in the club as
forecast at a news conference by
manager Stan Hack.
Hack said that the Cubs might
crack the first division.
ARISES IN UMPIRING
HARTFORD. Conn, (.ft National
League umpire Frank Dascoli told
members of th Connecticut legis
lature that their job was some
what lil-e his. "There are few
compensations and a lot of
abuses." said Dascoli.

Ben was smiling happily as lie

dusk, yesterday. And sun-tunned
Bing, not bothered in the least by
his pedestrian 82, was actually
whistling as Hogan ran down the
final nine-foot putt.
Spectators can't quite figure
what goes with Hogan. They con
cede he isn t deliberately hiding
in the weeds, for he made little or
no preparations for the competition
starting today.
And he certainly hasn't tried to
pull his punches. His shots have
been true and his putts have been
dropping, which observers say may
be a tipoff on the new Hogan,
who is obviously playing a ery
relaxed game.
Actually, he appears to be in far
better shape physically than when
he put out everything he had last
year in the National Open at Lake
side, San Francisco, and still
found it wasn't enough to beat
Jack Fleck, the Dcs Moines flash.
He is 15 pounds heavier.

LOS ANGELES (. The East,
and the West, opponents in the
sixth annual postseason Pro Bowl
football 'game, got in their last
serious drill Friday for a contest
that has in the past been as ex
citing as a regular season encount
er in the National Football
League.
The cast of talent automatically
promises action.
Pass-masters such as Norman
Van Brocklin, Eddie Lc Baron,
Adrian Burke, Eddie Brown; pass-
catchers nuch as Harlon Hill, Dar
ren Brewster, Billy Wilson and
Pete Pihos; ball-carriers like Ol
lie Matson. Ron Waller, Alan
Ameche and Johnny Olszewski, all
have colorful backgrounds.
They will perforin Sunday in
Memorial Coliseum, and goodbye
to football it will be for at least
two all-time stars of pro football,
Pihos of the Philadelphia Eaules
and Doak Walker of the Detroit
Lions.
Just a year ago the West came
from behind, 19-3 at one point, and
won out in the last quarter, 26-19.
The inaugural game in 1951 was
the closest, with the East winning.
Bob Waterficld of the Los Angeles ,
Rams figured in 21 points. He :
passed for two touchdowns, 22 and I
65 yard plays, kicked two field I
goals and converted three times.
But another'pro hero, Otto Gra
ham, engineered the Fast two
touchdowns in the late third pe-1
rlod. scoring both himself, and the
East won. 28-27.
The West now holds a 3-2 lead
in the scries.

Since last Julv, Hornsby has

Daley told Hornsby that he
thoupht any yournr baseball play

White Sox or Cubs rather than to
a "foreign" team such as the In

pleased that Mr. Hornsby will

many young people he will train
will be some future stars of the

Hornsby is going to decline the

LAKE PLACID, N.Y. Wl This

been dreaming about since he don
ned a pair of skis for the first
time 29 years ago.
The 33-year-old veteran of two
United States Olympic teams and
countless world championships
never has beensharper than he is
today less than two weeks before
the start of the winter games in
Cortina d'Ampezza, Italy.
His coach, Olav Ulland, thinks
he has the best chance of the
Americans to win the grand jump
ing title something no Yank ever
has won in the lace or the tough
scandanavlans.
Devlin, for his part,' acknowledg
es that this is the strongest irroup
of Jumpers the United Slates cver
has put together. But about his
chances, he merely shrugs. He
knows he's "on" now, but only
hopes he can keep Uie fine edge.
"I won't say how we are going
to do," said Devlin, who laid aside
his running feud wilh the U.S. Ski
Assn. to concentrate on the Olym
pics, "But I do know that this
team is good. We have balance
and that's Important,
"In past years, we've sent teams
to Uie Olympics with one or two
aggressive Jumpers. Tills team has
six of them. Every guy thinks he
can win."
With Norway's Tourbjorn Flak-
anger injured and out of competi
tion, Devlin said the Finns would
be the toughest.
The other members of the U.S.
team are Ragnar Ulland, the
coach's nephew from Seattle; na
