ORESON " PAGE 8 B Elliott Scribes' Selection FRANKFURT (UPI)-Herb El liott of Australia was named the sportsman of 1958 today by a panel of European sports editors from both sides of the "Iron Cur tain." The Aussie miler won the nod from the panel (or two amazinc feats-a 3:54.5 mile at Dublin's aantry track on Aug. 6 and 3:M record for the 1.500 meter run at Gothenburg, Sweden Aug. 28. In the six years that the Uni ted Press International has hepn polling European experts on their sportsman of the year choice, it was ine first time a European athlete did not win the title. The poll also reflected Austra lia s emergence as a leading pow. er in world sports. America's continuity as a producer of great champions, and Russia's sudden decline in sports. Elliott, who captivated Europe an sports enthusiasts not only for the records he set, but as well for the ease and mastery he showed in every race in which he competed, won in a landslide, be ing the pick of 39 of the 61 lead ing sports writers who participa ted in the poll. , Rater Johnson, the world de cathlon record holder from Kings bury, Calif., was second in the balloting, getting nine first place votes for an even 500 points. El liott had 723 points according to the point system used. Australian swimmer Jon Kon rads was third with four firsts and 396 points, followed by Bra zil's world champion soccer team and Roger Rivierne, a French cy clist. The Russians, whose Vladimir Kuts won the sportsman's award in 1956 and 1957, finished out of the top 10 for the first time, wind ing up with an aggregate point total of 291 compared to the Aus sie total of 1,317. -sfBARKS N' BITES (Continued from Page I B) Giants Hope Hughes Ready NEW YORK (UPI) - The New York Giants are hopeful that de fensive back Jim Hughes will be ready for Sunday's climactic game against the Cleveland Browns. Hughes missed last Sunday's game against the Lions at Detroit because of a sore neck but left a hospital bed to work out with the club Thursday. Following the work out, ,the former Tulsa star said he will "give it a try" against the Browns. However, two of the Giants' o'her key operatives still are re garded as doubtful starters. They are Pat Summerall, the team's place-kicking specialist, and Jack Stroud, rugged offensive lineman. ; Because of the cold weather and the frozen condition of the Yankee Stadium turf, the Giants limited Thursday's workout to an hour of signal drills. Sports Car Club Elects Officers . The Sports and Imports Car Club, a local group of foreign car owners and drivers, met Wednes day night in the Community Lounge for the purpose of install ing a panel of officers to serve for the 1959 term, and to award trophies won in the Auto Cross held on November 23. . Picked to head the club for the coming year were Chuck Lawton. president; Glen Rinehart, vice president; Anne Wolfrum, secre tary and Bob Heath, sergeant at arms. Chosen to seats on the board of directors were Chuck Johnson, and Wilbur Brickner. Trophies were presented to Don Robin who drives an Austin Healy Sprite; Bob Haubscber, an Austin Healy; Gale Osborne, the operator of a Morris Minor, and Don Fred ericks, who competed in a Volvo. Robin clocked the overall fast time for the event. . Scheduling for events for 1959 was discussed at the meeting with ;the next activity slated for Feb ruary 21 and 22. when the club will join with northern drivers in a trio to Bend where the group win tstay overnight. A dance, dinner nd competitive event is scheduled : before the return to K i a m a t n Falls. Other events to be spaced .throughout the coming year in -elude several gymkahanas, auto crosses, a hill climb, two informal dances and three rallies. J The club's next meeting is 'scheduled for January 8 at the Community Lounge. ing in The Oregonian that "Mary" Kranenburg had been cited AH Stale football honors, "I'll admit that we didn't have a great team nor a good season but things weren't so tough that we had to use girls. Maybe they meant Gary Kranenburg. A pleasure to note that big Bob Petersen, the 6-4 All-Stater on the Pel squad has come into his own as a team leader and an inspir ation for his teammates. Last year Bob was more content to sort of lie back, avoiding the limelight and saying very little. This year a player who might inadvertently slack off a bit in practice will probably get the "word" from Bob. Real "comers" on the Pelican varsity are Bob Lewis and Bill Santo. For real desire to play, the duo is hard to heat. Both will see a lot of action before the season gets much older. You'll pardon me I trust, for an I told you so Santo had his troubles at the start of the season and came out late . . . since he started though he has been going full-bore. Lakevlew boxing enthusiasts are elated over the fact that they have a champion in their midst. And he won It by defeating another Lakevicw scrapper in the State Pal club boxing tournament held recently In Portland. Frankle Lightle returned home wearing the Stale Welterweight crown. The lad he stopped was Dclton Steal ... a TKO. Both Steal and Llehtle won their first two tourney bouts. In the very near future Lightle, Steal and a number of other Lake County fighters may put in an ap pearance in KF. A special event fight card is in the planning stages. Mount Shasta residents are about to flip their lids, especially those concerned with the fabulous new ski bowl. No snow. December 12, temperature 65 degrees and no snow. This writer had the privilege of a Northern Cal junket the other day to some of the schools in the area . . . and saw a few basketball players romping around on lawns in gym togs. Too hot in the gym. ... Like I said, no snow. Talked to one man ... he said, "Snow ruins my business yet I m pray ing for snow just like everyone else. My turn will come next sum mer if we get some snow now. 1 can wait." The battle for cage supremacy in the Klamath County B school system is on and it shapes up to be a hot one. The defending champs, Merrill. who, as one of their competitors put it "think they are supposed to win. keen rolling rignt along. They are 3-0 for the season thus far. Maybe this winning is habit forming at that. The Blv Bobcats seem to be hav- ing very little trouble either, unless one considers revamping record books work. Jerry Patzke, the 5-11 senior Bobcat center, is making a serious bid for something of scoring record. In three games Patzke has counted 81 points. His nearest rival is Henley s Burrell Gober witn 60 'four games). Next are Malin's Jim Owens and Rick Illian with 18 and 42 respectively in three games. Ron Hoggarth of Chiloquin next with 40 ollowea oy me Huskies' Bud Maupin with 38. Both have n aved three games. Needless to say iney are an serious. Jr. Bowl Squad Warms Up PASADENA. Calif. UPD - The Northeastern Oklahoma A&M Golden Norsemen warmed up to day for the battle against Santa Monica City College in the 13th annual Junior Rose Bowl game Saturday. "Warmed up" was not just phrase because the Oklahomans were fresh from a bout with be low freezing weather in their homeland Miami - Miami, Okla homa, not Miami, Florida, that is. as "Red" for obvious hirsute reasons, said this about the weather: "It was below freezing when we left Miami," he said, "and the boys practiced Saturday in their long handles (underwear) We wore heavy hunting jackets when we weren t moving and you can't imagine how great this sun looks to us. Robertson who stands 6 feet inches and weighs 265 pounds was not bothered about a weight ad vantage which will be enjoyed by his opponents. ' "We've been outweighed be fore, he said. We won nine straight this year and one team had us beat 20 pounds to the man. We also won nine last sea son so we're now working on i string of 18 straight wins." The clement weather prompted game sponsors to predict a new record for attendance at the game. The standing mark is 57.132 set in 1955 when Com-pton College ol California defeated Jones College of Mississippi. The West has an edge in the annual jaycee competition with seven victories against four de feats and one tie. The East, however, has won the last two games. Arlington State of Texas beat Compton in 1956 and then repeated with a win over Cerritos Junior College from the Los Angeles area in 1957, this year banta Monica ap pears to be the favorite because they have a whiz-bang of a pass ing quarterback in Pat Young Jr., and a heavy forward wall anchored by 215 - pound center Ivory Jones. The Corsairs won nine straight during the regular season. CITT LEAGUE W L alker Bro. I.uri-a Cafa 3S 11 Car-Ad-Co -H ' Baldwin'!

Montague was the runncrup team. the contest tonight at Morgan- town, W. a. At that, the Blue Devils didn't have half as much trouble as poor Honda Mate. Power failure caused by heavy snow in the mston-Salen N. C, area delayed the start of the Klor ida State-Wake Forest game for an hour, and when they finally got the lights on, Florida Slate players discovered they had led four of their jerseys on the plane which brought them to North Car olina. What a mess! Wake Forest loaned Florida State its jerseys, necessitating a change every time a substitute entered lhe game. That's as far as the hospitality went, though, because Wake For est went on to register a 73-64 victory with the aid of George Ritchie s 23-point performance. Third-ranked Kentucky had no picnic with Southern Methodist. The Mustangs outshot the Wild cats from the floor and trailed only by 33 - 31 at intermission. Sophomore Bill Ray Lickert final ly solved MU s zone delense to score 23 points for Kentucky. Xavier wasn't exactly any ball of fire, either, in handing lona its lirst loss after three straight vic tories. The Ohioans looked a bit sluggish during the first half but in the second half, Hank Stem, Joe Viviano and Rich Piontck proved too much for the losers. Although guarded closely.
