Double The Wear With Quality Repair Frank's Shoe Shop Corner 6th & Klamath m5 aji JjL paxf tun lona '51 Upends Terriers By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The upset whnmmy still has its hold on the tournament clubs In college basketball with St. Fran cis of Brooklyn the latest victim. The Terriers, who had won 18 straight before being turned under by St. Joseph's of Philadelphia last Saturday, lost their second straight last night in a discourag ing a-BB game against lona. Off what they showed against the aroused Gaels, now 8-13, the Terriers may well be the darkest darkhorse in the National Invita tion Tourney since Black Beauty. It was the sixth defeat In 13 games played by NIT and NCAA bound teams tills week. Xavler of Ohio, headed for the NIT, kept the postseason clubs above .500 by putting Eastern Kentucky in Its place 93-72. The Kentucklans had stunned another NIT entry, Louis ville, by two points Tuesday. St. Francis, ranked 16th in the AP poll, never really got rolling against lona. The Terriers failed to set up a tight defense against the outside sets of Larry Blaney and Ralph Savarese in the first half and never did find out how to stop Joe Bernardi, who wound up with 38 points. lona solved the problem of St. Francis' highly regarded sopho more rebounder,' Al Innis, simply by drawing him away from the Gaels' hoard. He collected 19 points, but got only three in the second half before Coach Dan Lynch called him to the bench and kept him there for the last 9 minutes of the game. . Xavier hit 49 per cent of Its shots and pulled away from East ern Kentucky after the first 16 minutes. Davidson clinched the eighth and final berth for next week's Southern Conference champion ship tourney by eliminating Vir ginia Military 79-73 as Semi Mint! scored 25 and Hobby Cobbs 22. Virginia, outshot from the floor, beat Maryland at the free-throw line 29-12 to upset the Terps 73-60 for a sixth-place tie with South Carolina in the final Atlantic Coast standings. .

Sixth Ph. 8124 UBEDlt Opinions Formed In Oval Case By OSCAR FRALEY Vnited Tress Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP) Two conclu sions seem lairly obvious today in the wake of the permanent suspen sion of miler Wes Santee. The first is that the Kansas run ner took more In expenses than the amateur law allows. The sec ond is tnat Santee, doing no more than many others, is a sacrificial offering to the AAU's own guilty conscience. Santee's mistake was in taking a check Instead of cash. You may debate all day that Santee was no more guilty than many others anu mat ills payofl was rather trivial, being only $1.- 500 in 22 meets. But you can't avoid the fact that he did accept excessive payments beyond what the AAU law allows. The fact that everybody else on the whole Is wrong does hot make Santee right. Possloly you can leel there Is some basis to- the charge tiiat somebody Is out to "get" him. As the biggest name in track and field he was exceptionally vul nerable. Had the AAU made an "example" out of. let's say, some, body In the mile walk, nobody would have paid any particular notice. BAD RAP Santee never came out and said that he was being tagged witn a bad rap. His attorney, to whom I talkea several times, never in sisted that Wes was completely in nocen:. The major demand was thai the case be sent back to Santee's home Missouri Valley Assn. They had cleared him once of these same charges. The 21 to 7 vote Indicates that even there some of those sitting In Judgment weren't completely certain that he hadn't been "on the take" to a certain extent. But Santee's coun sel, shooting to have the case sent back for another home town de cision, knew it was the only man ner in which he could win. It is ridiculous to Insist that be ing barred as a "professional" would have any bad after effects on the Santee name. Nobody ever thought that such previously dis barred athletes as Jim Thorpe. Paavo Nurml and Gunder Haag should be in prison because they made a little above expenses and thus were barred from amateur ranks. SLIM ACCOUNTS The bonus is, and should be, on the AAU and on Its niggardly. profit - making system which doesn't allow comfortable' expense accounts to the men who "make" its track meets, Colleges have an out on their pinch-penny methods on the theory that their contests are part of the collegiate athletic ' system. But men such as Santee and other headliners are not collegians be ing paid off in part with an educa tion. Santee Is a Marine lieuten ant. Horace Ashenfelter Is an FBI man. Bob Richards is a teacher. And so it goes. , When they give up personal time for training and take long periods away from their families and work to compete in meets which are strictly money makers for the organizations putting them on they should be allowed a fair return. True, they aren't professionals. But their expense accounts should be equitable and comfortable. Actually, this Is accepted even by the AAU. But their method is one of under-the-table. Santee's big mistake was in taking a check Instead of demanding cash as the rest do. He was, in the end, a vic tim of the system.

Wl Thounh he did all right for himself when thev were handing out high-pay Jobs In the television field. Leo Durocher is about to pass through a trying period In which he would rather pull on a baseball uniform than be President. "It's going to be mighty tough,'" grimaced the little man who fin ished a turbulent career as player ana manager last fall. "It's Just beginning to hit me that this will be the first SDrinor since 1924 that I haven't been get ting reaay lo suit up. That's a long time to be in one game and then give it up suddenly." Leo, who was In Florida to han dle a microphone during the an nual Ball Players Golf Tourna ment, looks drawn after his first tiring winter of taking orders from geniuses of the entertainment world Instead of loafing and think ing up bright new sayings to Irri tate umpires. "I don't know whether I'll go down as a great baseball mana ger." said the former Brooklyn ana new xoru wants pilot. "I still say the best manager Is the one with the best 25 ball play ers, and it helps to be lucky, of course. Come to think of It, I might have been the best manager in history while we (the Giants) were beating Cleveland four straight in that -64 series. "Boy, was I a genius. In one game I called for four plays and every one of them worked. As I recall, there was a squeeze play, a sacrifice, a hit-and-run and a stolen base. How many squeeze plays do you see In a season? In the average game a manager would be happy to have one of the four plays work, but. they all went perfectly for me that day. It was a crazy series. If we had played It over again Clcvelnnd might easily have beaten us four straight." BAN FRANCISCO Olancarlo Oarbelll, 148, Italy. . outpointed Dave Johnson, 147, San Francisco, 10.
