The 29-year-old former Stanford IT. great is currently the top scorer in the National Basketball Association and has a good chance to become the first player in the history of the association to score 2,000 points in a single season. When he quits making field ijoals and free throws for the ' m m By asved Pistons this spring, he'U head for Anaheim, Calif., to resume research work on the Titan and Atlas missiles for the Robert Shaw-Fulton Co. Yardley admits the combination of basketball player- aeronautical ensineer is an uncommon one, but he likes both and is grateful for the opportunity to play for the Pistons and work on the missiles program. ULTIMATE GOAL "The ultimate goal of any col lege graduate is to get into the type of work he likes, the bald ing Yardley said.

Koben s Hardware 1 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Dukes Blue Devils, coming with a rush since Coach Harold Bradley junked height for speed a month a.uo, are top dog in At lantic Coast Conference basket ball today. Probably the best five-time los er around, the Blue Devils cli maxed an eight-games-in-a-month streak last nisht by making it to the top of the conference with a tij-tl! road whipping of North Car olina State. Seven ACC foes and West Vir ginia, the biggest of them all, have fallen to the Devils in the streak that began Jan- 11 when Coach Bradley found a "speed" combination and turned 'em loose. Duke has a 13-5 record and the No. 8 ranking in the nation. San Francisco's fifth-rated Dons were the only other top-ranking team in action last niht. The Dons, beaten once in 18 starts, ran their winning streak to 13 in a WI-49 romp over St. Mary's of California, just about wrapping up the title in the West Coast Con ference. Gene Brown's 10 points led the attack. Arkansas bolstered its lead in the Southwest Conference, edging challenger Southern Methodist So fts on Fred Grim's two free throws with 2S seconds left. Gerald My ers' last-second layup capped a 71 per cent team field goal per formance in Texas Tech's 74-72 victory over Baylor, and Rice hit half its shots to beat Texas A&M 07-57 in other Southwest features. A couple of the East's tourna ment possibilities kept rolling. Niagara over Holy Cross 83-73 as Bob Ellis celebrated his 22nd birthday with a 30-point show, and St. Bonaventure H3-3I over St. Francis (Pa.) 85-09. The Blue Devils, led by 6-2 Bucky Allen's 17 points, broke away in the last 10. minutes to snap State's five-game home win ning string. . -...a.......... VFW Fleet's Weyerhaeuser Duilan and Mest Steinseifer Electric stuKcl Hustlers Great Northern Kicks s plans to retire from basketball superior Troy after one more season. 1 hat s baa news for the Pistons. This is Y'ardley's fifth year in the association and it has been his best by far. He s averaging better man 27 points a game and, barring in jury, should give the Pistons their lirst NBA scoring champion in history. The highest previous average posted by Yardley was 21.5 points a game during the 1956-57 season. Y'ardley is very modest about his scoring success. HIGHEST TOTAL In a recent game, George pour ed in 52 points the highest total by any player in the association this season. I feel guilty about all those points." he said. "Those other four guys out there did most of the work. But Y'ardley's modesty isn t borne out by the records. He ranks second on the team in re bounding, a key guide to defen sive ability. With the pro basketball season entering the stretch drive. Yard- ley is anxious to get back to his work on missiles. But he'd like to lead the Pis tons to the NBA playoff title first. "That would help to repay the other guys on the team for their hard work in making me a top scorer, he said. Sunrise 3. Klamath Gas K of C 3. Flvine Eaales 1 Pioneer Tobacco 3.

Portland St. Nabs Victory By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Portland State won another Oregon Collegiate Conference bas ketball game Tuesday night, and solidified its third-place ranking with a 66-59 victory over Oregon College of Education. Hapless OCE threatened until the game's final moments, however. OCE now has lost all 11 of its conference starts this season, but for a time Tuesday appeared that it might take its initial triumph of the season. With only l'i minutes to go, OCE trailed by a scant three points at 62-59. But OCE's accuracy faded then and the Wolves were unable to score another point in the game. With a minute remaining, Tom Ferguson clinched Portland s vic tory by driving for a lay-in. OCE's strong second-half rally was led by the 16 points of Gary Milton. He connected for five m the first half to share scoring honors with Portland's John Win ters, who also hit 21. CHICAGO tl Pay-as-you-see television made its box office debut last night and it appears only a matter of time before the public has to feed the meter to see certain shows. A boxing match in which Chi cago welterweight Jerry Mortell won a unanimous eight-round de cision over Don Alderson of Can- nonsburg, Pa., was piped into a downtown hotel and viewed by newsmen and sports figures. It was the first time in history that the International Boxin Club sponsor of the Wednesday and Friday night fights used the closed wire pay-as-you-see sys tem. For purposes of demonstration the audience was told it could have a choice of a modern movie at the cost of 85 cents, a basket ball game for 50 cents or the fight which also cost 50 cents. The preliminaries of the fight were seen at no charge. Then a gentleman appeared on the screen and announced it would cost 50 cents to be deposited in the meter to, watch the main event, The screen went blank, 50 cents was dropped into the meter and the show was on. The picture was the same as free television. The pay-as-you-see organization now hopes to establish unnamed centers on the West and East coasts for experimental purposes Truman Gibson, IBC secretary said the project probably will be available on a nationwide basis to the public in "about two years." Putting meters on individ ual sets will be .the time consum ing factor. v These experiments will not in terfere in any manner with the regularly scheduled Wednesday and Friday night free boxing TV shows, said Gibson- By UNITED PRESS i The New York Yankees braced themselves today (or what could turn out to be the toughest job of the spring signing Mickey Mantle. Mantle received approximately $60.U00 last season and leels he's ntitled to $75,000 this year. He already has rejected one contract calling for a $3,500 boost. The iankecs. of course, didn t expect Mantle to do hand-stands over the "token" raise they of fered; they were merely trying to establish a ligure from which they could start negotiating.

KL JAW EES I1 Mail IJ, UUn- Sauer Likes Giants Move LOS ANGELES Wl Hank Sauer, written off as a has-been one year and written up as a hero the next, figures the transfer of the Giants will delay his exit from baseball. When the Giants decided to move from New York to ban Francisco, the 38-year-old out fielder said, they made a cool move weatherwise. "Those heat waves back East take a lot out of older players," he said. When you can t sleep, you're dead the next day. Those 77 games in San Irancisco, plus 11 more in Los Angeles, sound mighty good to me. The move to San Francisco should add a couple of years to my playing career. That career began 21 years ago, when Sauer played with Butler in the Pennsylvania State League, and it appeared it would end after 1956, when the lanky slugger went to St. Louis and finished with a puny five home runs and 24 RBIs. But Sauer had a revolution in the works. The Giants picked him up last year and he belted 26 homers and drove in 76 runs. The baseball writers named him the National League Comeback Play er of the Year. "There wasn't any miracle. Hank said. "I just want to play regularly again. The Cubs quit on me in 1955, and after I got over an injury in 1956 the Cards didn t play me much any more. I have to stay in the lineup to hit and with the Giants I was out there most of the season." Jim Jones Inks Rons Contract LOS ANGELES Wl Versatile Jim Jones, 200-pound University of Washington fullback, Wednes day was signed to the roster of the Los Angeles Rams of the Na tional Football League. Lnthused over the prospect, a third draft choice. Ram coach Sid Gillman said Jones can be used at fullback on offense or as a de fensive halfback. Jones, who averaged nearly five yards a carry in 179 attempts the past two years, was an outstand ing defensive player and made the bulk of the team's tackles from the lincbacking position. Dons Crush Gaels, 69-49 batted .238. He it expected to un lerstuay center fielder Larry Doby this year. Mieller, 19. had a 12-10 record with San Antonio of the Texas League last season. Infielder Pete Runnels agreed to terms with the Red Sox. Run nels was obtained from the Sena tors last month in exchange for Norm Zauchin and Albie Pearson. With Washington last year, Run nels played first base, second and third. The Red Sox probably will play him mostly at second base. First baseman Kent Hadley and left-handed pitcher Carl Duser signed with Kansas City, while Milwaukee optioned catcher Bob Roselli to Sacramento of the Pa cific Coast League. At the same time, the Braves invited catcher Sid Goldfader from their Wichita club to join them in spring train ing at Bradenton, Fla. Giants Lure Rook In Fold SAN FRANCISCO W - Willie Kirkland, 23-year-old rookio out fielder from Detroit, Wednesday became the 32nd San Francisco Giant to sign a 1953 contract for an undisclosed amount. In four seasons of minor league baseball in the Giant farm sys tem, the 6 foot 1 inch, 185-poqnder hit 141 homers, 37 of them with Minneapolis of the American Assn. in 1956. Ho also drove in 120 runs lhat season. The Chiloquin Townies will meet the visiting Warm Springs Mag pics and the Sprague River Indi ans face the Alturas Red Devils. Game time is 7 o'clock. This is a warmup for the big annual All Indian Invitational Tournament to be held at Chilo quin in March. This year's tourney will draw teams from all over the nations as well as the two leading teams from the Klamath Reservation.
