TH(,5(J'v- 29. IBS? PAGE NINE ...n UO's Moore Injured HERALD AND NEWS. Klamath Falls, Ore. P(D)ETg WAYNE SCOTT, Sports Editor faf Gate For June STOCKHOLM (AP) - Now that a rematch with Floyd Patterson has been arranged, world heavy weight champ Ingemar Johansson jokingly said today he'll be even lazier in training than he was for the bout that brought him the title. The return bout, set (or June in New York at either Yankee Sta dium or the Polo Grounds, was announced Monday by Edwin Ahl quist, the champion's adviser, and Roy Cohn, the New York attorney who heads a 10-man promotional group. In an interview, Johansson said he was all set for the return, de spite a little too much of his moth er's cooking. "Just before Christmas," Ingo said, "I was just over my best fighting weight, 198 pounds." He was 196 when he knocked out Pat terson in the third round last June in Y'ankee Stadium. Asked if he plans to train as he did for the first meeting with Patterson, Johansson said he al ways trains the same way. "As lazily as you did before?" he was asked. "This time," said Ingo with a grin, "I will be lazier." One of Johansson's favorite sub jects in speeches and at appear ances is a recital of boxing writ ers' criticism of his seemingly la zy training methods for the first bout. Ingemar met with Cohn and sev eral other members of the promo tional group Monday night over a smorgasbord and under TV lights. Cohn, former counsel to the Sen ate investigating committee head ed by the late Sen. Joseph R. Mc Carthy, and his associates recent ly bought full control of the old Ewbank's Five-Year Plan Runs Exactly On Schedule BALTIMORE (AP) "You're great, and we're going on and on," Coach Weeb Ewbank told his Ballimore Colts after they won their second consecutive National Football League championship Sunday. Only four other teams in 27 years of NFL playoffs have won consecutive titles, and no team has won three in a row. Ewbank's confidence shouldn't be taken lightly. His announced five-year plan for a Baltimore championship came through right on schedule last year. The Colt players were especially happy with the wide margin of their 31-16 victory over the New Y'ork Giants in Sunday's playoff game. Some critics had suggested the Colts were lucky to edge the Giants 23-17 in overtime for their (irst title last year. "You win the title one year, and some say you're lucky," summed up offensive guard and linebacker Steve Myhra. "But we've won it twice, so I hope they'll say we've really got something going for us." George Halas, owner of the Chi cago Bears, seemed to agree. He said in Chicago Monday night that 'T definitely would class the Colts with the great teams I have seen." 1959 Bowl Fever The annual football fever which originated 46 years ago with the first playing of the Rose Bowl Game in Pasadena is once again the top topic for conversation among sports fans the length and breadth of the nation. The most important of the New Years Day spectaculars depends entirely upon where one lives. Re gardless of the importance of each game, fans in every area agree that in the overall picture teams selected are of top caliber. The Washington Huskies meet the Wisconsin Badgers in the Rose Bowl; Mississippi and Louisiana State clash in the Sugar Bowl; Texas and Syracuse tangle in the Cotton Bowl; Georgia Tech and Arkansas arf set for the Gator Bowl and Missouri and Georgia Square off in the Orange Bowl. Huskies Favored PASADENA, Calif. (AP) A surprising tide of favoritism for the Washington Huskies cropped 'up today among members of the Trcss corps here to cover the jtose Bowl New Year's Day. ' One poll of writers, television and radio men came out with 53 selecting Washington to win to 39 ifavoring Wisconsin, the Big Ten champion. ! A less extensive poll came out 17 - 15 favoring Wisconsin. The Midwest voted solidly for the Badgers, the Northwest unani rnously for Washington. Predicted Title Bout r ft v " INGEMAR JOHANSSON ... To be lazier Rosensohn Enterprises, now the Feature Sports Inc. Cohn said he will make a formal application to the New Y'ork Slate Athletic Commission for a promot ing license. Promoter Humbert (Jack) Fu gazy, a member of the Cohn group, predicted a gate of ll' mil lion dollars for the return bout. Under terms of the contract for merly held by Rosensohn Enter prises, Johansson and Patterson each would receive 23 per cent of the gate plus an equal split of 70 per cent of radio, TV and movie receipts. Last year the dean of NFL own ers and coaches said "a team must prove itself over several years." Now he has conceded that the 1958-59 Colts are worthy to join such elite ex - champions as the Chicago Bears of 1940-41, the Phil adelphia Eagles of 1948-49, the Detroit Lions of 1952-53 and the Cleveland Browns of 1954-55. Halas was coach of that twice champion Bear team, but he re fused to compare it with the Colts. "There is no way to compare a present-day team with the other great clubs over the past years, he said. Willamette Tops Humboldt 75-64 CHICO, Calif. (AP) Larry Lynn scored 31 points and led Wil lamette to a 75-64 victory over Humboldt State in the Far West. ern Conference annual basketball tournament Monday. Whittier, the other visiting school, also posted a victory, 68-5: over Nevada. Willamette led 39-28 at the half and then coach Johnny Lewis cleared the bench as his team built up an 18-point lead. Professional odds still favor Wisconsin by at least six points. One-a-day workouts remained in effect for both squads today while Coach Milt Bruhn continued his barred-gate policy for all West Coast writers. Big Jim Owens confided that he is feeling somewhat better over the condition of his Huskies and said "by game time I think wo will be all right." Bad weather at home, as well as a missed key workout here, hampered the Huskies' training program. Bruhn apparently had no such concern. "We are on schedule and I hope we will be ready to play a real fine football game New Year's Day," Bruhn observed. Syracuse Gets Nod DALLAS, Tex. (AP) Football fever was rising here today as the time neared for 103 young, huskies to move in for the twenty third Cotton Bowl game. Texas and Syracuse both come to town Wednesday Texas from its Austin, Tex., base and Syra cuse from Houston, where the Orangemen went to train with fa Ivor able weather as the lure.

'Big O And Company' Still Top College 5 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Big 0 and Co., formally known as Oscar Robertson and Cincin nati, still lop the nation's college basketball teams in the weekly Associated Press poll of sports writers and sportcasters. The voting was conducted over the weekend, so the results of Mon day's tournaments were not a fac tor. Robertson had solidified Cin cinnati's position by scoring 47 points in Cincinnati's 96-56 rout V Cougars, Hornei Quint Meet Tonight FIRST ROUND Monday Results Eagle Point 58, Rogue River 48 Illinois Valley 41, Phoenix 32 Tonight's Schedule Eagle Point vs. Glendale 7:30 Illinois Valley vs. Henley 9:00 PHOENIX Eagle Point and Il linois Valley used Monday night wins in the opening round of the annual Rogue League Classic to advance to the second round slat ed for this evening. Eagle Point broke loose for nine points in the final two minutes to post a 58-48 decision over Rogue River, and Illinois Valley displayed a strong second half in downing Phoenix 41-32 in a rough and tum ble contest. The single-elimination three-day tourney continues tonight with Ea gle Point tangling with Glendale at 7:30 and IV clashing with Hen ley in a 9 o'clock test. Both Glen dale and Henley drew opening round byes. Henley's Hornets, their win-loss mark at 2-3 thus far, held a light practice Monday night as coach Fred Hess prepared his charges for the classic, their first this sea son. Following the Monday drill Hess named a starting lineup which includes four juniors and a senior. Selected by Hess are for wards Bob Chapman and Lar ry Lugo, center Bert Allbritton and guards Floyd Kendall and Ray Jackson, who is a senior. The Hornets lost senior center Dick Reiling for the tourney Mon day night when he sprained an ankle in practice.

Syracuse will find itself a 12'4 point favorite to win its first bowl game in four tries. Texas will be seeking to defend one of the best post-season records. The Long horns have won five, lost two and tied one In eight attempts. Rebels Want Revenge NEW ORLEANS (AP) It won't be only glory involved when Mis sissippi lines up against Louisi ana State in the Sugar Bowl on New Year's Day. The Rebels have more than one football score to even with LSU and they could hardly find a better spot to settle matters. Mississippi, ranked second in the nation behind Syracuse in the final Associated Press poll, still is smarting from the 7-3 loss to LSU last October, the only blot on the Rebels' 10-game schedule. But even more, Mississippi hasn't beaten the Tigers since 1957, and the Rebels make no bones about this being the op portunity to make up lost ground. Odds for the game at 1 p.m. (CST) Friday favor Mississippi by seven points, and the edge may rise in view of the growing LSU injury list. Halfbacks Johnny Robinson and Wendell Harris I may sea only limited service. Oregon's victory came at a high cost. Glenn Moore, the Ducks' top scorine 6-foot-7-inch sonhomore. turned an ankle and will not be able to pl?y today. -BULLETIN- X-rays taken Monday night showed that Glenn Moore's ankle was sprained, not broken, but it was doubtful if he would see fction In Tuesday night's finals against the Beavers, Oregon State had to fight off a last-minute surge to down Idaho. The tying and winning points came in the final seconds on a 15-foot jump shot by Bill Wold. of St. Bonaventure in Saturday's first round of the ECAC Holiday Festival. Cincinnati drew 57 of the 103 first place votes, West Virginia received 27, California 14 and Utah five. In the point total, Cin Jackson. All are juniors except cinnati led West Virginia 932-879. West Virginia, idle last week, edged a bit closer to Cincinnati in the balloting despite Cincin nati's triumphs over Bradley and St. Bonaventure. West Virginia, with All America Jerry West, is competing in the Los Angeles Clas sic with such other high-ranked teams as California and Illinois. California was rated No. 3 in the voting, moving up on its vic tory over Michigan State. Utah advanced two pegs to the No. 4 position by handing Ohio State its first defeat and also knocking off the College of the Pacific. But the Uics lost 63-52 to Duke last night in the Dixie Classic at Ral eigh, N.C. Ohio State drew solid backing and ranked fifth. There was a wide gap between Ohio State and sixth-place St. Louis which de feated Kansas and Creighton dur ing the week. They have an im portant date Saturday with Brad ley. Close behind seventh-place In diana came Illinois, which took a perfect 5-0 record into the Los An geles tournament. There wasn't a new face among the top 10, just a shuffling.

(AP)-If Missouri couldn't win a bowl game with the great Paul Christman, what chance do the Tigers have with out him in the Orange Bowl Fri day against Georgia, inquired Missouri Coach Danny Devine. Devine had Christman on hand Monday during a light scrim mage. The passing star of the 1938-40 era chipped in to help his alma mater, giving the quarter backs a few tips as he tossed the ball around with a semblance of his old-time skill. It was Christman who saved Missouri from a shutout in the 1940 Orange Bowl game which Georgia Tech won 21-7 "If Missouri couldn't win with Christman, how can we be ex- I peeled to do anything Friday?" asked Devine. "That team had better personnel than this Tiger outfit." A wet field made the Bulldogs go easy but they got in plenty of running. OSBORN HOTEL EUGENE, ORE. Mm. 1. B.

For the Jets the win was their fifth in six games this season while the Knights' loss was only their third in 10 tests. The two squads tangle again to night in the second game of the two-game series beginning at 8 0 clock. The test will be preceded by a preliminary between two Kingsley intramural squads at 6:15. Peoples' free toss gave the lead to the Jets for good in the nip and-luck contest which saw the lead swap hands numerous times throughout both the first and sec ond halves. After the 5-9'4 Jet guard sank the charity toss, Shasta took over possession of the ball but lost it just as quickly as they were charged with a dribbling in fraction. The Jets stalled out the remaining seconds to insure the hard-fought triumph. Peoples grabbed game scoring nonors with 22 points while team mate Sam Bell, the Jets' usual Wif gun, added 20.
