Calif. (UPD- Coach Jim Owens of the Univer sity of Washington led his Hus kies through a secret drill session today before sending them off to visit a Hollywood television stu dio. The football squad from Wash ington reviewed its entire bag of tricks Sunday at Veterans Stadi urn in a 90-min.ute session which concentrated on signal calling and punt coverage. Owens, proud of the fact his squad has led the nation in punt coverage the past two years, labeled Sunday's session, "one of our better workouts this year." He predicted that the Washing ton squad would be ready to put up a good scrap against Die Wis consin Badgers when the two teams collide on New Year's Day in the Rosa Bowl. Speaking of Sunday's session Owens said, "I had a lot of tongues hanging out when we fin Ished. but that's what I wanted to do." Ho said he was extremely pleased that the weather Sunday was cool and cloudy. He said it reminded him of the winter con ditions usually found at home owens had the Huskies run through a one-and-one blocking ex ercise in which guard is pitied against guard; end against end tackle against tackle and so forth right down the line. All but the players for the first and second squads were kept on the field by Owens for an extra 20 minutes of rugged calisthen ics. Owens jovially referred to the session as a "short course drill.

Schayes, who wound up with 32 points, drew two successive charg ing fouls with the Celtics in front 120-119, and two minutes remain ing. He fouled out at that point and Boston quickly widened its margin to win going away. Bill Sharman, who contributed some key points late in the game, was Boston's top scorer with 30, while Bob Cousy had 23 and Tom Ileinsohn chipped in with 20. In Sunday's other games, the New Y'ork Knickerbockers helped new Coach Carl Braun celebrate his home debut by whipping the Cincinnati Royals, 132-118, and the St. Louis Hawks widened their Western Division lead to 5', games by defeating the Detroit Pistons, 102-86. Segregation Draws Blast From Gibson NORFOLK. Va. (AP)-'This is a sport, an international thing And yet you have some people sitting here and some people sit ting there." Indignant over the segregated seating of an audience at the City Arena Sunday was Althea Gibson. 32, who recently turned profes sional after a reign as queen of the world's lady amateur tennis players. "I don't like it," exlaimed the Negro star. "I didn't know this sort of thing still existed." Miss Gibson played an exhibi tion match with Karol Fageros, white, of Miami, prior to a bas ketball game featuring the Har lem Globetrotters. Miss Gibson is tour with the Globetrotter troupe. After her match, she appeared calmer as she said: "There's only one difference be tween us our color. Our eyes are the same; our mouths are the same. 'Do these people (the white spectators) think there is such a big difference that they have to sit by themselves? I don't want to skirt the law, but there must be something wrong with the law. Just think adults acting like this." Virginia law requires segre gated seating of spectators at pub lic functions. The law is being challenged in a U.S. District Court suit here. TIME OUT sitf 158 "This is the main event . . . scheduled for . . . HA! HA! HA! ten rounds!" Liberty Bowl Said Success PHILADELPHIA AP The inaugural Liberty Bowl football game here Saturday could be con-i sidered a financial if not an artistic success. Unofficial figures Indicate that Pcnn State and Alabama each are getting about $10.5,000, The pro moters of the East's first major bowl game saw the test break records and turn a small profit. Bud Dudley, who with his part ner, George Kerrigan, nursed the Liberty Bowl from a brain storm aooul :sr? years ago to a live spectacle before 36,211 fans, was enthusiastic about the future of the event. 'It was a wonderful start, bet ter than the first effort of such bowls as the Sugar and Orange," said Dudley. This vigorous man of ideas pointed out that the initial Orange Bowl game drew less than 6,000, while the first Sugar Bowl effort entertained about 25,000.

Somebody Goofed GRANTS PASS AP A 52-52 tie resulted In a Saturday high school basketball game between Roseburg and Grants Pass. When the final buzzer sounded the scoreboard showed 52-51 in favor of Grants Pass. The crowd and most of the players left. A rcclicck of scoring table figures showed a mistake. Press, radio and team scorers all agreed on a 52-point total for Roseburg. Tiit official oorer finally agreed he had failed to enter a fourth quarter free throw by Roseburg's Bill Mundt. Since most players were gone and the teams do not meet again this season, the game was ruled a tie a basketball rarity. The previous night Roseburg shaded Grants Pass 55-54. This two-game series left Roseburg 4-1-1 and Grants Pass 1-4-1 so far this season. Syndicate Raises Hopes In Promotion NEW YORK (AP)-A 10-man syndicate headed by Roy M Cohn appeared today to be gain ing ground in its efforts to pro mote a return heavyweight title fiht between champion Ingemar Johansson and challenger Floyd Patterson in New York next June. Cohn, a former assistant U.S. attorney general who once served as counsel to a Senate investigat ing subcommittee headed by the late Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, confirmed that his group has pur chased two thirds stock interest in the now defunct Rosensohn En terprises, Inc., from Vincent J. Velella. He said he hoped to obtain the one third interest held by William P. Rosensohn and insure a title fight at Yankee Stadium next summer. Cohn said the purchase price was substantial but declined to name the figure. Velella reported ly had sought $150,000 for his stock. Velella is a New York law yer who has been barred from promoting fights in this state by the New York State Athletic Commission. He is under indictment for per jury as an aftermath of the first Johansson - Patterson fight last summer in which the Swedish fighter won the world champion ship by knocking out Patterson in three rounds. Cagers look To Tourneys; 27 Slated Over Holidays By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The nation's cage-conscious col leges will be up to their ears in basketball during the long holiday spell starting Saturday. There will be no fewer than 27 tournaments and they will be played in every section of the country.

They point to the crowd of 55,- 000 which jammed all but the corner sections of the 70,000-seat Rice Stadium for the Texas Christian-Clemson clash two teams which held little immedi ate appeal to southeast Texans. The attendance figure broke the bowl inaugural record of 28,000 set by the Sugar Bowl in 1935 as did the Liberty Bowl's Penn State - Alabama match several Houston enjoyed perfect football weather with the mercury in the high 50s, clear skies and a light north wind. And Clemson enjoy ed taking TCU into camp, 23-7.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP)-The new pro football league was confronted today with a fresh challenge in Minneapolis-St. Paul by loyalists of the National League and a man from out of the sport's frontier days. "If the National League extends us a franchise we expect to be operating in 1960," said Ole Haugsrud, Duluth sportsman and tobacco wholesaler who owned the Duluth Eskimoes in the NFL more than three decades ago. With his $25,000 earnest money check to league headquarters went an application that bore the signa ture, among others in the combine, of Ernie Nevers of San Francisco, one of football's all-time greats and a member of the old Eskimoes. Haugsrud's application, and the apparent encouragement it re ceived from several NFL owners, signaled another collision between forces of the National League and the new American Football League over the Twin Cities terri tory. The AFL evidently is set to op erate here. H. P. Skoglund, part owner of the Minneapolis-St. Paul AFL team, said "We intend to go right down the line with the Amer ican League no matter what happens." Reports that he and fellow own ers might be planning a shift to the NFL themselves have no foun dation, he said. Haugsrud said he has talked witn sever, or eieht National League owners and was advised to make his application. "I was told the National League definitely will add two teams in 1960," he said. An estimated million dollars would be needed to get an NFL team going in the Twin Cities. Haugsrud said. He claimed to have enough backing from area businessmen to raise the money. In Philadelphia, acting NFL Commissioner Austin Gunsel said the application by Haugsrud's group would be considered along with others at the league meeting next month.
