Newspaper Page Text' tURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23. 1958 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN .AAU fries Moore;- Cage " .-Tactics JIossoiiiiiiSaibaij j Jantee Case Hits Oval Boss Br HAL WOOD United Press Sports Writer AN FRANCISCO (UP) Let's tying some of the backwash of the Wes Santee "disbarment from amateur athletics for life" case out Into the open. Tom Moore, director of the Call fernla Relays, goes on trial tomorrow for allegedly paying antee too much money to com' pete in a half-mile run against ton Spurrier at Modesto last airing. (Santee, incidentally, won against the world record holder), j Moore, one of the true amateurs Aid lovers of track and field, is k the middle In this case. He rs ! being accused of paying Santee '.! Something like $400 to appear at i !s relays which are run 24 hours i alter me uonseum tteiays in los ngeles 300 miles away. EMBER A member of the Pacific Asso- ation AAU told me this: What could Moore do if be was get Santee to run? He called Santee, and the mller- told him: i fcee my agent'." ! Moore refused to dicker with the i ;ent, but finally got together with iantee on a price. Santee didn't get any more, ' irobably less, from Moors than ie received for running several ither places. Still, Tom is on the an for "over-paying." ELD RECORD Tom Moore is a former hurdles :hampion from the University of California. At one time he held he American record. Since his graduation he has been very in- jterested In the promotion of track end field meets. He originated the California Relays at Modesto about L dozen years ago and has person ally lifted them up to rank with Ithe top events in the country. Aside irom tms, Moore serves as official starter at many AAU Eanctloned meets throughout the west, for which he refuses to accept a cent of pay. , If Moore really had wanted to cheat, he could have charged the relays for his services as a starter, then handed the money to Santee as a personal gift. For being , honest, of course. Moore now faces disciplinary action. : OCU, Seattle Join NCAA Toiirnov lie By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Oklahoma City University, set ting a record with its fifth straight selection, and Seattle Thursday swelled the entry list to seven for next month's NCAA national cham pionship basketball tournament.

' . The seeded stars', Kurt- Nielsen of Denmark, who was No. 2 In the foreign ratings, and Sammy atanv malva of Houston, Tex., No. 4 on the domestic list for the tourney, bowed out Wednesday and three others had to survive deuced sets to win. Nielsen was "shot-gunned" by Grant Golden of Chicago, 6-4, 8-4, In a big upset. Another unseeded player, Armando Vlelra of Brazil, gave a few lessons to Glammalva, topping him 0-4, 6-2, and making the tennis sages wonder if the Houston strokester was the Davis Cup hope they had pictured. Top seeded Vic Seixas of Phila delphia had to struggle through a deuce set before he defeated BUI Lurie of Brooklyn, 8-6, 6-2. Sweden's star, Sven Davidson, who was the head man of the for eign bracket, had to go three sets before he eliminated veteran Ir ving Dorfman of- New York, 6-2, 7-9, 6-4.

PALM OLIVE I A OUT-SHAVIS ANT lATHtR OR BRUSHLISS CREAM! f- Niagara, Mounties Post Wins By ED WILKS The Associated Press The trials and tribulations of postseason engagements are be ginning to show In college basket ball with some coaches putting possible tournament tactics to competitive tests. Tans Gallagher of Niagara, for instance, deployed his NIT-bound Eagles In a zone defense in the second half while defeating Syra cuse 86-80 last night. It was the first time In 20 years of coaching that Gallagher had resorted to the zone. ... And Fred Schaus, In his second year as coach and readying West Virginia for Its title defense In the Southern Conference tourna ment next week, sent the Moun: talneers into a full-court press right off the bat for the first time this season in a 91-88 decision over William b Mary. FOUR-POINT Niagara had a four-point lead at the half, but Syracuse, which had beaten the Eagles earlier, gained an 80 - all deadlock with 1:13 left in the game. Then Alex Ells, one of Niagara's sopho more stars, tapped In a rebound and the stalling Eages eased home. Tommy Hemans, Niagara's steadying senior, was high with 23 points 20 In the second half. Hot Rod Hundley (who else?) was the big gun for West Vir ginia. He packed In 31, points as the Mountaineers ended their reg ular Southern schedule In a first- place tie with Oeorge Washington. The champion and NCAA entry, however, will be decided in the three-day tourney opening a week irom today at Richmond. Other strange things happened last night too. Princeton and Yale struggled through five overtime periods, one short of the major college reoord, before the Tigers won 78-77 to retain second place in the Ivy League. The first four extra sessions - were scoreless. Yale controlled the center Jump and held out for a last-second shot. But missed each time.. -OUT8CORED Princeton, which blew a 15-Dolnt lead In the second half, then con trolled the fifth extra center Jump and outscored Yale 8-8 with Ben Splnelll hitting a hook and Jump ior tne iinal points. Elsewhere, the tournament choices gave a better accounting ior themselves after losing four of eight Monday and Tuesday, Dayton, ranked fourth In the Associated Press poll and headed for the NIT with Niagara, handed nine defeats, 80-48. Seattle, winner of 15 and named today as an ncaa "at-large" entrv with Ok a home City, failed to hit from the neia in tne first 8 minutes. Bill Uhl, Dayton's 7-footer, canned 26 points and grabbed 16 rebounds In 28 minutes of play. The Fyers' Jim Palmer held Seattle's Dick Stricklin who had averaged 21 points a game to two field goals and nine' points. ' Two other NCAA entries bol stered their winning totals. Holy Cross broke Providence held Tom game streak 69-60, and Memphis State defated Murray - (Ky.) State 100-94. Providence held Tom Helnsohn to five field goals, but he still managed 22 points. In a big tousney-declder, St. Joseph's (Pa.) knocked Temple to Its second defeat In 22 games, 77-68. C. Middlecoff Open Favorite HOUSTON M-After three prac tice rounds of subpar golf, Gary Middlecoff was a strong favorite today In the first round of thj $30,-' 000 Houston Open. Mike Bouchak, defending cham pion, was rated second but his odds were 6-1 compared with a surprising 3-1 for the former Mem phis dentist. Middlecoff, seeking his third vic tory of the winter tour, has show ered the 7,122-yard, par-72 Memo rial Park course with birdies the past three days, Souchak last year scored a final- round 66 to come from behind by four strokes and take $6,000 in top money with a tournament record 273.

Going Into Veteran Ump Criticizes AL Speedup Plan By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A veteran National Leame urn. plra Is sharply critical of the American League's plan to permit pitchers to give Intentional passes merely by Informing the umpire of that Intention. "That's going too far with this speedup craze," said Larry Ooeta, one of the most respected of senior circuit arbiters. "They're taking something out of the game. "I've seen a runner steal a base while a pitcher was throwing four wide ones. I've seen a man picked off a base In similar situation. And you'll recall that last year, a couple of batters leaned over and got a hit while they were trying to walk them. I'm certainly glad our league didn't go for the change." Remember when Don Newcombe was suspended last season for re fusing to pitch batting practice? Well, this is another year and the Brooklyn Dodgers' right-hand er apparently Is turning over a new leaf. Despite a mild virus In fection, Newcombe went through a xft-nour arm in vero Beach, Fla. "I feel all right, got no tempera ture and I want to work," he said.
