Bears Bounce Back, Whip Bv THE ASSOCIATED PRESS California's Bears are off and winging again in college basket ball today after needing only 48 hours to get solid revenge against the Southern California team that snapped their 23-game winning ftreak. Beaten 63-57 Saturday night by the Trojans, the Bears came back with a decisive 60-45 victory at the same Los Angeles court Monday night and did it breezing despite the loss of 6-10 ace Darrall Imhoff for 13 minutes because of a cut mouth. So gripping was the touted Cal Bear-hug defense that Southern Cal, upped to 10th ranking nation ally after its Saturday shocker, managed only six field goals in the field half and hit only 32 per cent of its shots. Webfoots Second Half Hot Streak Wraps It Up EUGENE (AP) - Oregon's scrambling basketball team won again Monday night, rallying for 44 points in the second half to defeat Washington State, 62-48. The victory was the 10th in 12 starts for Oregon, and surpassed by one the number of games the Ducks won all last season. Oregon raced to the victory without the services of its prize sophomore, 6-7 Glenn Moore, the squad's leading scorer before he was sidelined with an ankle in jury three games ago. Washington State also lost one of its best players in the Monday night game, 6-7 sophomore Charlie Sells of Seattle, who, along with Moore, is regarded as among the coast's top prospects. Sells twisted his left ankle with 8"4 minutes left in the game and had to be carried from the floor. A doctor said X-rays will be taken today. Just before the injury, Sells had rammed in two field goals to cut Oregon's lead to a scant four points at 37-33. With Sells out of the lineup, the Ducks ran wild. With the aid of a 5-point spree by Chuck Rask, Oregon quickly vaulted into a 17 point lead at 60-43 and never was threatened. Rask topped the game with 14 points. Stu Robertson, Moore's replacement, got 12. It was Robertson, incidentally, whose free throw snapped a 27-27 tie and sent Oregon ahead to stay early in the second half. Prior to that, the Staters dominated the game. Sells was high point man for State with 11, and Frank Reed had 10. Oregon shot at only a .147 pace fn the first half, but sank more than half its shot after intermis sion to end up at .410. Washington State had a .315 percentage. For Washington State, the loss was its seventh in 14 starts: Oregon will go on the road this weekend, playing Idaho at Mos cow Friday and then meeting Washington State Pullman. The box: w.s.u.

Newspaper SPOT ADS are inexpensive . repeated daily $1.16 "One thing about these kids," coach Pete Newell says of Cal's defending NCAA champs. "They're coachable they learn quickly and they adapt quickly." The records bear him out. Last March, California edged West Vir ginia 71-70 for the NCAA title but had its hands full trying to handle the Mountaineers' brilliant All America, Jerry West. Last week, using the same defenses but "do ing the job a lot better," accord ing to Newell,1 the Bears routed West Virginia 65-45 and held West to one field goal. Now it's happened to the Tro jans. Monday night's was their third meeting. Cal won the first test, 65-61 in overtime. This time, the Bears made it look easy as they rolled to their 10th victory in 11 games and solidified their Win 10th; WAYNE SCOTT, Modern Day Viking Athlete Of The Year By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Ingemar Johansson, the modern day Viking who won the world heavyweight boxing championship from Floyd Patterson last June in a shocking upset, has been voted the "Athlete of the Year" for 1959 in the yearend Associated Press poll. Johansson, a 27-year-old Swede won by a substantial margin over Johnny Unitas, who quarterbacked the Baltimore Colts to the Nation al Football League championship for the second straight year. Jo hansson had 120 votes of the 288 votes from sports writers and sportscasters. Unitas had 54. 29 Die From 59 Football NEW YORK (AP)-Football in 1959 resulted in death to 29 play, ers, the largest total since 1947 and four came from heat exhaus tion a danger never previously recognized. These figures were revealed to day in the annual reported pre pared by Dr. Floyd Eastwood of Los Angeles City College and pre sented to the American Football Coaches Assn. and the NCAA Football Rules Committee. As a result, the AFCA Commit tee on Injuries and Fatalities strongly recommended lighter practice whenever the tempera ture exceeds 80-85. Since the survey was begun in 1931. there has been only one previous death due to heat exhaus tion. During the past season, one college player, Charles Lohr of the University of Maryland, and three high school players died of I heat strokes after practicing in very hot weather. These four deaths were among 11 attributed indirectly to foot ball. There were 18 resulting di reclly from football injuries, most of them to the head and necK. Of the direct injuries, seven were incurred in high school foot ball, six in sandlot games, two in semipro football and three in col lege football. Cannon Says No Ram Hold NEW ORLEANS (AP) All America halfback Billy Cannon of Louisiana State was quoted today as saying the Los Angeles Rams do not have a binding contract with him. Cannon, in Honolulu to play in the Hula Bowl game next sunoay tn'H the Nrw Orleans Times Picavune bv telephone he signed post-dated papers with the Nation- ional Football League club Dut they were "not official and didn't even go through the proper chan nels." "As a matter of fact," Cannon added, "the naoers were post dated Jan. 2 and wouldn't have gone into effect until that time, but I sent them back along with the expense money and the bonus they mailed to me, enclosed in a letter notarized by my attorney, notifying them that I did not want to have anything to do with any post-dated 'contracts.' " Cannon signed with the Houston Oilers of the American Football League Jan. 1 immediately after the Sugar Bowl game. He also said the Rams' papers were in the form of an offer and did not obligate him. OSBORN HOTEL - EUGENE, ORE. Mrs. J. .

Cal's victory came In the second game of a Los Angeles double header, which opened with UCLA's 55-54 squeaker over Washington. Fifth-ranked Utah (11-1) opened its Skyline Conference campaign with a 78-62 victory over Montana; sixth-ranked Ohio State (8-2), with soph Jerry Lucas scoring 30 points and grabbing 23 rebounds, routed ninth-ranked Illinois 97-73 in its Big Ten opener; and eighth-rated Wake Forest (8-2) ran its winning streak to six with its fourth straight Atlantic Coast Conference victory, 77-62 over Clemson in oth er key games. Sophomores dominated two Beavers Sports Editor It was the second time in the history of the poll, which dates back to 1931, that a boxer had won it. Joe Louis won in 1935. Last year's winner was Herb Elliott, the Australian miler who had broken the four-minute barrier 10 times. Billy Cannon, Louisiana State's All-America back, was the only other athlete to draw strong sup port. He polled 42 votes for first place, far ahead of the Chicago Cubs' Ernie Banks who drew 12 votes. Charlie Conerly, the New York Giants' quarterback, and Nellie Fox, the American League's most valuable player as the Chicago White Sox' second baseman, each had nine votes. Larry Sherry, the Los Angeles Dodgers' World Ser ies hero drew eight votes. Johansson will receive the Fra ternal Order of Eagles-Frederick C. Miller Memorial Trophy at a dinner in Milwaukee shortly. Johansson's dramatic . victory was the most surprising to the boxing world since Max Schmeling knocked out Joe Louis in 1936. The handsome European champion was a 5 to 1 underdog against Patterson. He had been boiled in oil in the press for his "family style" training methods. The story of his miserable 'showing in the 1952 Olympics when he was dis qualified for not fightingwasre- qualified for not fighting was re vived again and again. Fencing off Patterson with a stiff long jab, Johansson calmly waited for the chance to throw his vaunted "thunder and lightning richt hand punch the punch he never threw in training. When the opening came in the third round Ingemar didn't miss. Down went Patterson on his (jack. He arose and took an eerie walk to never- never land with his hands at his side and Johansson in pursuit. Seven times Patterson hit the floor before referee Ruby Gold stein finally stopped it at 2:03 of I the third round, touching off a wild scene in the ring. Although subsequent investiga tions of the promotion turned up many sticky problems, never was there any shadow thrown upon the fight itself. Johansson zoomed to tremendous popularity in the United States as well as at home. Loscutoff Ails, In Traction BOSTON (AP) Jim Loscutoff, a standout for the Boston Celtics in the National Basketball Assn., was ordered into St. Elizabeth's Hospital Monday after an attack of severe back and leg pains. A spokesman for the team said the former University of Oregon star probably would be placed in traction. A neurosurgeon was called in for consultation. Loscutoff, a rugged cornerman for the Celtics, had been forced to miss Boston's last two games.

The victory snapped a nine- game winning streak for the Stat ers. Prior to Monday night, OSC had lost only its season opener, to Hawaii. Things started badly for the Staters before the game, when coach Slats Gill was hospitalized with influenza. In the memory of many, it was the first time in 20 years that GUI had missed a game. Oregon State had built a bit of a reputation this season as a defensive team. But in the game's first 15 minutes, the tenacious Indians allowed OSC only one field goal. By midway in the second half, however, the Staters had rallied and were ahead by one point, at 35-34 on Jay Carty's free throw. The lead teetered back and forth, and with less than three minutes to play Stanford was ahead by only one, at 39-38. Stanford, playing its usual pre cise game, waited cautiously and then broke John Arrillaga loose for a lay-in. Clayton Bowling's free throw clinched it for the visitors. Arrillaga topped . the . scoring with 15 points. Carty followed with 14. Oregon State's next basketball date is Jan. 11, with Washington at Seattle. That will mark the start of a month-long road trip for the Staters.

The state Game Commis sion blamed the rise partly on the gun-slingers of television West erns. This is the worst year we have on record lor total nunmer 01 accidents, both fatal and non fatal, Cal Giesler, commission hunter safety supervisor, said today. He said 15 hunters were killed and 60 wounded out of an esti mated 400,000 hunters in Oregon. He said this accident ratio to the number of hunters was not the worst on record. In 1912 commis sion records list nine killed and only 85,000 hunting and fishing licenses issued. Giesler said the number of pis tol accidents has fnore than dou bled, which he said indicated TV has a definite influence. With all the Western programs and all the use of the revolvers in the quick draw and the twirl, many persons are trying to dupli cate it, Giesler said. We leel positive that TV has had a bad influence on the mishandling ot this type of gun." Giesler said as far as he could determine, none of those killed or wounded had taken a course offered for the first time in 1959 on the safe handling of guns, sponsored by the commission. The course consists of four hours of gun handling safety train ing. Some 3,000 youngsters and interested adults throughout ure gon were enrolled during 1959. The number killed included eight in deer season, two each for the elk and waterfowl seasons, and one each in the pheasant, raccoon and rabbit seasons. Four of those killed died of self inflicted wounds. Thirty-nine of the wounded were hurt by a bullet discharged from their own guns. One person was killed and 29 wounded by bullets from pistols Four died when loaded guns discharged in cars. Two died when a young person tripped and fell, discharging a gun. "Most of these accidents could have been avoided," Giesler said "Nearly everyone of them has carelessness as its background It's simply that a person did not handle a gun correctly.

The Owls, 1-won, 6-lost for pre season action, get a chance to wipe this all away when they hit the Portland State Vikings Friday night at Bcaverton in the Oregon Collegiate Conference opener. Sat urday night the two teams square off for the second test, this time in the Lincoln High gym, the court the Viks call home. 'We're certainly not trying to minimize the fact that we haven't done so well, up till now, but from here on is where it counts. Maybe it sounds odd that I'm optimistic in face of six losses but I'm firm ly convinced that we have the club." said Palmberg. "We're not sick nor lame," he went on, "and I believe we'll be off to a good start this weekend. Portland State figures to be just about the strongest league competi tion and that's as good a place as any to start." Although the pre-practice chalk- talk contained a certain amount of 'chewing" on the part of Palm berg, the session primarily dealt with a thorough review of faults that had caused their narrow pre season losses. Also coming in for (heir share of attention were scouting reports of previous Vik ing games. Plans for the Owls' pre-game work week include both offensive artd defensive drills. Monday night the Techmen swung immediately, after a brief warmup, into fast- moving half court defensive drills stressing man-to-man work, us ing different combinations of players, The Tech crew will leave the OTI campus early Friday morning and arrive in Bcaverton in time for a brief workout on the Beaver floor prior to the game. Coach Sharkey Nelson's Vik ings, 3-won and 4-lost for early season play, saw more work dur ing the Christmas holiday than did the Owls. Their most recent ac tion was last weekend when they split a two game series with Cen tral Washington-College in Ellens- burg. The Techmen lost a squeaker to Chico Stale Saturday night.

Under the NBA's weird sched uling the game also will be the fifth in as many cities for the travel - weary Celtics who arc weakoned by injuries. Jim Loscutoff is hospitalized with severe back and leg pains, Bill Sharman probably will not dress because of a sprained Achilles tendon. Neither . man played Monday night as the Celtics snapped a three-game losing streak in defeat ing the Syracuse Nationals 127-120. The game was close tied 22 times until the fourth period when K. C. Jones and Tom Hcin- sohn hooped successive baskets for a 110-105 lead and the Nats never caught up. Boston used only eight players.

DON'T MISS THE SPECIAL SHOWING OF THE ALL NEW I960 CHEVROLETS and CORVAIRS Bel Air J-door Sedan George & Bob Say: be 7Jr l 1 X PACrE SEVEN Revenge Key To Workouts On KF Floor With the cold realization that their six-game win streak had abruptly become a thing of the past last Saturday night, the Klamath Union Pelican basketball team, for the most part, opened practice Monday afternoon with a ven geance. The Pels were blasted 62-46 by a highly competent Medford Black Tornado on Pelican Court in their Southern Oregon Conference open er. The club that must pay for this loss, if there is to be payment made, is the Crater Comets with whom the KU quintet tangles this Friday night at Central Point. The Comets, however, may have definite feeling about "paying" especially after tonight's SOC ac tion is completed. They tangle with the vaunted Tornado on the "Wind" home court tonight at 8 o'clock. In other league action the Grants Pass Cavemen, led by basket-shredder Rex Benner. play host to the relatively unheralded Ash land Grizzlies. The GOP game is the conference opener for the Grizzlies. While the Pelicans were getting their lumps from Medford here Saturday, the Central Pointers, who show no little potential, were disposing of the Cavemen, 57-50, despite a cool 35 points scored by Benner.' "We spent a little time review ing the mistakes we made against Medford. All but a couple of our boys seem to know now what was wrong, and are going full-bore in trying to correct these trou bles," was the comment of coach Dean White as he watched his ball club in a charged-up full court scrimmage Monday afternoon. White didn't name the "couple of boys" referred to in his com ment. Although the Monday drill ses sion wasn't particularly long, the pace at which the Pelicans were moving indicated that there was going to be a lot accomplished. White admitted, "Tonight they don't look like the same team that played Medford they look real good." Tonight the KU sophomores 8'nd the frosh unit move onto the Sa cred Heart Academy floor for a pair of contests.
