HERALD AND NEWS. Klamath Falls. Or. Wednesday. January B. MfiO PAGE THIRTEEN TIME our Disciplinary Action Expected Should Be A Beaut SF's Candlestick Park Wrangle Has Featured Humor, Tragedy By HAL WOOD SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -There's no doubt about it the San Francisco Giants will have the finest baseball stadium in the world when they open play on April 12. It will have all the most mod ern .of facilities, fixtures, lighting, drainage, upholstery, etc. But during the two years of nui uii liic uiuuii ui nil. Candlestick Park, the wrangling between the city, the stadium builders, the contractors and others has been sometimes a tra gic, sometimes a comic bit of conversation for the region's pub lic. The stadium has been called, at various times, the most beauti ful of all stadia; the greatest boon-doggle of all time; Candle stink Park, instead of Candle Today's Sport Parade Canadian Grid Loop Battling For Players By OSCAR FRALEY NEW YORK (UPI) Faced with an all-out battle for top col legiate grid talent, the Canadian "Football League today began a no - holds - barred bid against the National and American Foot. . ball Leagues for America's . "name" college football stars. With the National Collegiate Athletic Assn. meeting in New xorx, me anaaian league mov ed enmasse into Manhattan "to acquaint American college coach es with the favorable aspects of nnr lpaeufi so thev can fullv ad vise their players of our advan tages." The scramble for talent is get ting rough. In addition to the established National Football League, the proposed American League is milking the graduating competitive business. And the Ca nadians want it known that they are not taking a back seat. "We have been affected al ready in our bid to get top stars,1 admitted Jim Finks, a former Pittsburgh Steeler quarterback now general manager of the Cal gary Stampeders. "Wo know we have a game which in many ways is more attractive than American pro football. Many coaches advise their players, so we must let the coaches know how attractive our league is." Thus,' while the American pros are conspicuous by their absence from the NCAA convention, the Canadians are front and center with a reception planned at which the college coaches will be dined on such modern delicacies as moose, venison and the big-time value of Canadian football. There are two major points the Canadians are trying to drive home. The first is that an Ameri can collegian has better opportu nities playing in Canada and the second that actually there is lit tle basic difference between the two games. Each of the nine pro Canadian Thunderboat Drama Among Top Stories By JACK HEWINS Associated Press Sports Writer A Rose Bowl football team and Its storybook All America quarter back; national track records; a unique "first" in the world of golf; drama in the thunderboats. These are the echoes of the Pa cific Northwest's big moments in sports as the sands of 1959 run out; these and many others. . . A near miss on a national bas ketball championship by Pacific Lutheran of Tacoma; a title fight for Denny Moyer of Portland; a national junior ski meet on White Pass: a Western Hockey League title for Seattle. . . The biggest single sports story of the 1959? For the first time in many winters it is difficult to point to one outstanding event and label it Top Yarn of the Year. The rags-to-riches rise of Wash ington from 1958 also-ran to cham pion of Western football in '59 cer tainly rates with the most excit ing. Newspapers and bureaus of The Associated Press ranked it among the top five news stories of the year in the State of Wash ington. A part of the story of the se lection of Bob Schloredt as quar terback of the All America team. The Gresham, Ore., athlete's ac complishment captured the imagi nation of the entire country a boy with impaired vision who started the season as a substitute and ended it ranked with the greatest. In similar Horatio Alger vein iras the story of Bill Wright. A golfing unknown, a Seattle student stick (because of the odor from nearby dumps and a chemical plant), and most every other thing. There was some talk that the stadium was supposed to cost about $7.000,000 give or take a million or two, which is easy to do when it is the public's money. Also, there was conversation that it would be ready to play the 1959 World Series. Now there is a great clamor to get the place ready for the start of the 1960 season. In fact, President Horace Stoneham today started the business of refunding about $75,000 to would-be mem bers of the swank "Stadium Club" because the club will not be ready for the opening of the 1960 campaign. "We can't work on the place until they turn it over to us and teams is limited to using 12 Americans or "imports" in each game but, according to Finks, most clube carry 16 or 18 Yanks. "Look at it this way." said Finks. "The National Football League takes 60 or more men to camp and keeps only 36. Of that number, more than 20 are rookies and only four or so usually make the grade. Each of our teams brings in about 20 and keeps 16 or, 18 of them. "Percentage-wise, that's certain ly a much better break than in American football." "We think it's a better game than American pro ball," Finks said bluntly. "Now we've got to get that point across to the Am erican coaches and their college stars." By HARRY GRAYSON NEW YORK (NEA) If there is any doubt that Oscar Robertson is a big man at the bucks office as well as on the court, it is dispelled by the predicament of the Cincinnati professional basket ball team. The Royals, who have been draw ing about 1,500 people per game are hanging on for dear life wait ing for the Big O to be graduated from the University of Cincinnati and bail them out financially. Just as Elgin Baylor came out of Seattle U. last season to put the breath of life back into the Minneapolis Lakers, Robertson, just turned 21, is expected to save the Rhineland franchise. Although the Royals have Rob ertson as their territorial pick, the affluent Tom Wood syndicate which owns the club and the Cincinnati Garden will have to bid against Abe Saperstein for the Bearcat paragon. Promoter Saperstein is well at Western Washington College, Bill won the national Public Links Championship and became the first Negro ever to earn a major golfing title in America. Out of Oregon to demand equal billing comes the echoes of pound ing feet. There was Steve Pauly of Beaverton, who set a national high school record of 13.8 seconds in the high hurdles; and Glenn Win ningham of Grants Pass, whose javeiin toss of 225-6 also was a prep school record. There were freshman Dyrol Burleson, upper classmen Chuck Grecle and Dave Edstrom, and alumnus Bill Dell inger of the University of Oregon. They brought the Pacific North west more track honors than any previous group of athletes. Burle son set a national collegiate fresh man mile record; he won the na tional AAU 1500-meter race and repeated the victory in the U. S. meet with Russia and in the Pan American Games. . Grelle won the national colleg iate mile crown; Dellinger, run ning as an Air Force entrant, took the AAU 5000 meters; Ed strom placed second in the na tional decathlon. And how about the hydroplanes? Three major races for unlimited speedboats in the Northwest all were packed with drama. High winds made the Apple Cup race on Lake Chelan a day of hazard. The cranky Maverick, threatening to spin out from under driver Bill Stead at every corner, won the Gold Cup on Lake Washington after the usual argument over point totals. -.'I II I ill t 'rfJf j. ,awi Ji. we don't know when we'll get it," said Stoneham. The battle between contractor Charley Harney, who also fur nished the site for the huge layout, and the city and the stadium builders goes on. And some of the arguments are a bit on the silly side. In a city which gets about as much rain in the winter as any city in the country, no arrange ment was made for waterproof ing. "It's not in the contract to waterproof it," said Harney. "We won't spend another cent on it," said Mayor George Chris topher. "I'm not supposed to water proof the city's property," said Stoneham. Meanwhile, the water leaked through the roof and did a few thousand dollars damage. Then there is the case of the acres-and-acrcs of land that will be used to park 8,000 cars. Right in the middle of this land is a 40-foot square plot which an Oak land man claims he owns. He says he has paid taxes on this regularly, without any trou ble, until the city took over and his check was returned for the first time last year. He is suing the city to keep them off his land. "It would be a nice place to build a hot-dog stand," he points out. But with such minor incon veniences hindering all the way, work steadily goes forward and the stadium will be opened for the crush of 45,000 fans on April 12. The fact that there are prac tically no roads leading to or from the parking lot to handle the 8.000 cars, isn't bothering anyone yet. "Until we can build some 'leader' roads to the highway, there is going to be a terrible traffic jam," says a police offi cial. "It may take hours after each game to unravel it." aware of the fact that Robert son rates right along with Wilt the Stilt Chamberlain as the most mag netic individual attraction . in the game and would like to have him tour with his Harlem Globetrotters, His interest gives Robertson, who hasn't majored in business admin istration for nothing, a talking point. Robertson, who within the next few games will become the all- time major college scoring leader, is so tremendous that he made people forget a very fine grade of Cincinnati football. "On the road I am frequently asked," said an old Bearcat at Madison Square Garden for the Holiday Festival, "when Cincinnati abandoned football. I tell them that we abandoned football to such an extent that we still give 100 schol' arships and have seven coaches." The principal reason for George Smith's success as a basketball coach is, of course, careful selec linn of talent. There are only 19 basketball scholarships at Cinchv nati, which gave only four this season and never more than a half dozen in the eight years that Smith has been the head man. His recruiting Robertson, who was nationally known as a high school player at Indianapolis' Cris pus Attucks, makes it perfectly plain that Smitty goes for nothing but the best. "Yet three or four of our pres ent varsity kids didn't exactly stick out in high school," insisted he old Bearcat. "What happened was that a. little bit of Robertson rubbed off on them. That's another advantage in having a boy like Oscar. Cincinnati played before 293,493 paid admissions in 30 games last season, which is a college seasonal record. The Bearcats play three games a campaign at the Cincin nati Garden and Robertson packs it with 13,000. In three appearances in this year's Holiday Festival at Mndison Square Garden he drew clcse to 50,000. Every home game in the Cin cinnati Field House, which accom modates 8.0O0. was sold out months in advance. Before Robertson, the Bearcats played to between 3,000 and 4,000 in their Field House, so, the fabulous Big O doubled their business. George Smith never played bas ketball. He was an outstanding tackle on Cincinnati football teams in the early 1930's, was an as sistant coach in the game he knew best before taking charge of tha round ball. "Basketball has become so rough that a football man is needed to coach it," he beams. Smith became well acquainted with the round ball game teaching it in high school before returning to Cincinnati, of course, but he is the first to tell you that a guy doesn't have to know too much about basketball to coach young men like Oscar Robertson.

To next week, when fellow coaches who comprise the NCAA football rules committee, meet in Miami Beach, to consider the American Football Coaches Assn.'s recommendation for a re turn to unlimited substitution. There were 13 member schools under investigation by the com mittee on infractions as the 54th annual NCAA convention opened today with round table discussions. How many of the investigations will result in action by the council was top secret. The NCAA never discloses identity of the schools, unless they arc found guilty. Squaw Valley Question Poses Some Careful Consideration SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -The Assembly Ways and Means Com mittee ended a two-day hearing Tuesday on the question of what to do about California's eight mil lion dollar investment at Squaw Valley and some of the sugges tions were rather drastic. Some witnesses and members of the committee maintained that the state should get out of the "whole mess" as soon as the Winter Olympic Games are over next month, writing the project off as a total loss if necessary. Others argued that as a state park, the valley could become a AFL Commissioner Defends Two Controversial Contracts DALLAS, Tex. (AP) Commis sioner Joe Foss of the American Football League Tuesday night de fended two controversial contracts AFL teams have signed with Louisiana State players and said he would take the fledgling loop s troubles before a congressional committee. Foss called prior and valid con tracts the Houston Oilers signed with All-America Billy Cannon and (he Dallas Tcxans signed with Johnny Robinson. Foss said the two LSU stars "signed Immediately upon the completion of their college eligibil ity, and I must conclude that these contracts are both prior and valid." The former Marine Corps hero in World War II and twice gov ernor of South Dakota pointed to the abandonment of his football circuit of a franchise in Minne-apolis-St. Paul as the result of "harassment" he believes vio lates' antitrust laws. He said he thought the Senate's Anlimonopoly Committee, headed by Sen. Estcs Kefauver (D-Tenn) should know of the stumbling blocks encountered by the AFL. "Before too many days pass," he said, "I'm going to Washington to visit members of that commit tee." "They're my friends," he added Foss said the National Football League repeatedly had refused to Carl Hubbard Meets Redl CHICAGO (AP) - Unbeaten Carl Hubbard of Philadelphia makes his ring television debut tonight against Stefan Redl in Chicago Stadium. The 10-rounder between the young welterweights will be beamed by ABC starting at 10 p.m. (EST) and scored under the five-point system. Redl, 26-year-old refugee from Hungary who now lives in Pas saic, N.J., is a substitute on the card for fourth - ranking Rudcll Stitch of Louisville. The Illinois Athletic Commission refused to approve Stitch Monday because he has a cataract. Annual Public Guinea Fowl DINNER Most Famous of All Birds Masonic Hall MALIN Sat.. Jan. 16th 6 p.m. Till 8:30 p.m. $2.50 Per Plat The number currently on proba tion was reduced to nine Tuesday when Memphis State completed a two-year probationary period, and the NCAA council, satisfied that the institution is living up to the athletic code, restored it to full eligibility. That means Memphis State, with a 7-1 record, will be eligible for an at-large berth in the annual post season NCAA uni versity division basketball tourna ment. Montana State College appealed for a revision of a two-year pro bationary term incurred Oct. 27, 1959, but the NCAA council turned down the appeal. It was based on new evidence and a claim of pro cedural error. Other schools currently on pro bation are Mississippi, Gustavus Adolphus. W y o m i n g, Seattle North Carolina State, Auburn, Southern California and Arizona State University. The football coaches, conducting their 37th annual meeting, will nationally - known winter recre ation area which would attrack enough visitors to pay part of its expenses. Will Rogers Jr., chairman of the Park Commission's Policy Com mittee, led the faction in favor of withdrawing before further ex penses were incurred. He said it would be unwise to spend additional funds to make Squaw Valley a state park be cause the money could be used to the greater advantage of more persons by developing other rec reational areas. Rogers described the area pre pared for the Olympic Games as even talk about a franchise in Minneapolis-St. Paul until the AFL announced it was going in there. Then, he charged, the NFL by re peated promises of a franchise for Minneapolis St. Paul "so confused the situation that AFL interests were unable to get any sort of written agreement for use of the stadium there." Foss appeared certain that he was correct in his statement on the validity of Cannon's and Rob inson's contracts. He told Dallas newsmen both players signed their AFL contracts after the Sugar Bowl game in Now Orleans while standing under the south goal posts. "Any earlier signing," he said, "would have jeopardized their col legiate eligibility to play in the Sugar Bowl game, and would have violated all NCAA rules, as well as rules of both professional foot ball leagues, and in addition would be contrary to the spirit of ama teur athletics."

The college coaches also backed the present point-after-touchdown option and the wider distance be tween goal posts. Both resulted from controversial rule changes in recent years. The chances of the NCAA com mittee adopting tho free substitu tion rule do not appear to be good. Of the eight coaches or former coaches on the committee, four are known to be opponents of free substitution. They are Dave Nel son of Delaware. Bud Wilkinson of Oklahoma, Jess Neely of Rice and John Honing of Denver. Other voting members are Norm Daniels of Wesleyan, Frank How ard of Clemson, Ivy Williamson a "hodge-podge pattern of expen sive lodges, ski lifts, private homes, bars, curio shops, swim ming pools and no parking." 'That may be all right for the snow bunnies." he said. "Maybe they like more variety than space but it is not all right for a state park." However, Sterling Cramer, an officer in the company which op erates concessions at Yoscmite National Park, suggested that Cal ifornia might spend about $2,500, 000 more at Squaw Valley. lie said that amount could pur chase the property of Alex Cush- ing, who owns 550 acres of land and six ski lifts. The whole area then could be leased to a conces sionaire who would operate it as a recreation area, Cramer said. His stand was supported by Charles A. Deturk, chief of the state Division of Beaches and Parks, who told tho committee he believed the area would attract a million visitors annually as a state park. However, two legislators As semblymen Gordon Winton of Ma dera and Lloyd Lowrey of Rum sey urged that California get rid of its Squaw Valley property even if it is necessary to write off completely the money spent there already. Winton said the state might be better off "to sell the whole thing for five or ten cents on the dol lar." 'I'm In favor of giving it away to the first person who wants it," said Lowrey.
