His target, as always, was San- tee's outspoken attorney, Charles P. Grimes, who ras beaten the AAU in the courts twicei-once by having its lifetime ban against Santee stayed and again by suc cessfully fighting off an AAU ef fort to have the injunction wiped out. In the process of Issuing state ments Sunday, Grimes touched on many subjects, hinted darkly that several states might drop out of the AAU, mentioned that the AAU might need a new lawyer for the hearing on the Injunction coming up Friday and suggested that per haps there was not a quorum pres ent at the AAU executive commit tee meeting which bnnned Santee. "I've heard that phony stuff be fore," fumed Ferris, referring to Grimes' prediction that the AAU would be minus four states. "I suspect that It is Grimes who Is deciding for the states." Date Shift Made In JC Cage Action The datra of Regional 4 Junior tulleRe Basketball Tour nament, originally ached tiled for this weekend at Cedar City, I tab have been chanced. Wall Palmberg, Oregon Technical In stitute basketball coac h an nounred. The two-day tourney has been moved from March 9-10 to March 12-13. Oregon Tech, along with three other junior college teams in this region, will vie for a trip to the National Junior College Tournament the week of March at Hutchinson. Kansas. The other three teams in the tourney are Uoise. College of Southern I tab (Cedar City) and Dixie, a recent replacement for U'euer J. C. which pulled out of the elimination playoffs. This will be the first nuch tournament an Oregon Tech athletic squad has entered, and the Owls have been classed as the tournament "dark horse", with Boise tabbed as the team to beat. The pairings for the Cedar City play find Boise meeting Dixie in the first game Monday night, while Oregon Tech plays College of Southern Utah, the host team, in the second game Monday. On Tuesday the two losers meet for consolation hon ors, while the two Monday win ners clash for the right to enter Into the national tournament. Palm berg said the reason the tournament had to be changed is the fact the dates conflicted with a high school basketball tournament only 30 miles from Cedar City, and tournament of ficials were afraid that the at tendance of both would be hurt.

NEW YORK Wl Charley John' ston, manager of two world cham pions and president of the Inter national Boxing Guild, today laces a State Athletic commission near- ins that could cost him his license. Commission Chairman Julius Holland ordered written charges drawn up against Johnston, man ager of featherweight ruler Sandy Saddler and light heavyweight king Archie Moore, for violating commission rules. Similar cnarges were lodged against Manager Carmine Tarantino. The commission will decide probably next week whether their licenses should be suspended or revoked. Both Johnston and Taranilno ad mitted at a commission hearing Monday that they shared in the management of three Italian fight- err Paolo Rosl, Italo Scortlchini and Livlo Mlnclll but had no1 filed assignee contracts with the commission as commission rules require. Tarantino admitted that in sub mitting the contracts of light weight Hosl and middleweight Scortlchini he had sworn to the commission that he was the sole manager and no one else had any Interests In the fighters. Johnston admitted the snme for Minelll, a welterweight now retired. Stengel 'Afraid' Of Hose ST. PETERSBURG. Fla. (UP) i Casey Stengel, who is mighty high on his own New Yon tanaees. admitted today that he was "afraid" of the Boston Red Sox. "I'm not counting Cleveland, i Chicago or Detroit out of it, nut I gotia be honest and tell you mat Boston has me scared," said Stengel, who is trying for his seventh American League pennant in eight years. But then he winked In that sly wav ol his and added, quickly: "That Red Sox infield Is a question mark though, defensively." Ii was the only thing, he In dicated, which he thought might keep Mike Higgins' club from taking it all this coming season. GOOD OUTFIELD Look at that outfield." he ex claimed. "That guy (Ted) Wil liams, is going to be with them all season. Then there are those other two fellas, (Jackie) Jensen and (Jim) Peersall. Who's got a better outfield in the league?" Before his Interviewer had a chance to answer the question, ha replied to it himself: "Nobody!" "And their pitching could be great," he added. "They have lot of young kids who can throw bullets. And maybe while the in field Is not too good defensively, it will hit and that guy they got from the Senators, ( Mickey Ver non ain't going to hurt em any. Neither Is that pitcher, (Bob) Porterfield. They are going to be tough. all right." He said he wasn't "counting Cleveland out of It." You can't with that pitching. he explained. OLD GUY And that great old guy, (Bucky) Harris, isn't out of It with that Detroit club either. Maybe ne needs a little more pitching, but he's got the best left side of the Infield in the league and there ain t nothing wrong with his right and centerfielder.' That left side of the infield Is made up of Ray Boone at third and Harvey Kuenn at snort wnne the outfielders he referred to are At Kaline. the American League's batting champion last season, and Bill Tuttle, who. Casey said, "can really go get 'em Now don t discount those White Sox, either," he went on. "That guy. (Martv) Marion, did a hell of a job with that team last year. As a matter of fact, all of tne managers In the league must have done good Jobs. They weren't fired any ol them, were iney? some people say well what about (Chuck) Dressen7 He didn't do so well with the Senators, huh? "Well let me tell you this. He did a fine Job of managing so far as I'm concerned. He won the pennant for us because his team beat the Indians, something we couldn't do.' COLLEGE BASKLBAI.I.

Poirier, who weighed 151 pounds to Danny Joe's 148. said, "I used to concentrate so much on my right I was almost a one-handed fighter. But I've been working hard on my left hook since I fought. Perez before." Gene, 23, won a unanimous 10- round decision over Perez at St. Nick's last July 25. Folrer, favored at 11-5. suffered a nick on his right brow and a three-stitch cut on his left brow while giving Perez such a licking he was almost out on his feet at the close of the eighth round. Left hooks to the head and right smashes to the body were Gene's most effective weapons. Two right uppercuts near the end of the eighth almost dropped Danny Jo.

That is, naturally, quite a build up for a young fellow who has had only 18 professional bouts. But half of those brawls, all on Calhoun's credit side, have been by knock out. Which prompts the question of which is the main event as Lud- wig Lightburn battles on L. C. (Mystery) Morgan at Madison Square Garden on Friday night. Calhoun appears in what is billed as the semi-wlndup against Andre Tesster of Springfield, Mass. It could be quite a bout because Tessier, another newcomer, has a string of nine going for him which includes six knockouts. The mystery of the piece. In ad dition to the unknown Morgan, is why the New York State Athletic Commission okayed a feature bout for him and refused to permit Cal houn to battle in a windup event. Because Morgan has appeared in only 15 pro bouts and twice has been defeated. MANAGED "I don't know what Is going on," growls Calhoun pilot Prank Bach man, who managed such cham pions as Maxie Rosenbloom. Lew Jenkins and Bob Olln. "I tried to ENTITLED TO EVERY HOMER DETROIT (VP) General Manager Herold (Muddy) Ruel of the De troit Tigers was praising Charley Lau, a 22-year-old catching pros pect.. "He's a good hitter." Ruel said. "He hit 18 home runs for Durham in the Carolina League last season." "Er, excuse me. Mr. Ruel." said Lau shyly. "I really hit 19. I wrote to the League about It. One got lost in the shuffle see the commission and Julius Hel- fand wouldn't talk to me." But Bachman. while not claim. ing that Calhoun is ready for such ast Ray Robinson or Bobo Olson, does think that his lad is ripe for any number of the other hotshols. His particular target Is Gen Fullmer. Certainly Calhoun, who Is 21. has come a long piece in a short time. The son of a minister in Atlanta, Ga., and the seventh of 11 children which certainly denotes some sort of mystic good luck under the numerology system, he looms large on the middleweight horizon. Rory began to box in an Atlanta YMCA while he was working on a farm m the suburbs. Intent on a boxing career, and with the bless ings of his mild-mannered father, Calhoun moved to New, York to live with an aunt. GLOVES FINALS He continued his boxing in the Police Athletic League and went to- the Golden Gloves finals at Madison Square Garden. Then, in September of 1954. he turrifcd pro fessional after winning 38 of his 30 amateur bouUs. Aggressive, rugged and a deadly puncher, he is likened to the fight ers of the old school irr that he assertedly learns something in every bout, listens willingly and has to be chased out of the gym nasium. Bachman flinches at a premature buildup. His theory is that "if they think he is so good, nobody wiii want to fight him." But those who have seen him in action rate Calhoun as one of the really great prospects of recent years. If he goes well on Friday night, the commission will have to open the door. Once that happens, you'll be hearing plenty about this boy.. Buck Freeman is back assisting Coach Frank McGuire with the North Carolina basketball team.
