New League Prizes Twin City Franchise MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Base ball patriarch Branch Rickey pic tured himself today as a man "clothed in olive branches" in the hope of getting his new Con tinental League peacefully ac cepted by the present majors. But in the climax of two days of high pressure campaigning to keep Minneapolis-St. Paul in the Continental fold, he aimed a rheto rical barrage at any lingering hopes here that the Washington Senators can be persuaded to switch their franchise to the Twin Cities. Rickey denied the Continental regards the Twin Cities as a bat tlefield between the Continental and the majors. Vet the vigor of the Continental sales pitch made it clear the new league puts a high value on keeping the franchise. The 79-year-old Rickey won im portant converts in the Twin Cities. He wants quick action on obtaining use of Metropolitan Stadium. Yet at least one key figure in Minneapolis' negotiations for a big league franchise indicated he has not abandoned the idea of bringing the Senators here.

(AP) Collegiate stars from throughout the country will clash in the 11th annual Senior Bowl game Saturday in what the weatherman says will be ideal football weather. The forecast is for clear skies with the temperature probably in the 50s for the televised meeting of 23-man squads representing the North and the South. The South is a 3'4-point favorite to win its seventh game in the senior bowl series, in which the players become pros. Members of the winning team will receive $600 each, the losers $500 each. Quarterback Charley Britt of Georgia will direct the South de fense and also serve as co-captain together with Ken Kirk of Missis sippi, the middle linebacker on de fense. The North players elected two linemen as captains. They are cen ter Bill Lapham of Iowa on of fense and middle guard Rod Breedlove of Maryland on defense.

Cal Game Department Asks State Out Of Bird Program SACRAMENTO (UPI) Fish and Game Department plans ask that the state get out of its ut-and-tako pheasant program now costing much more money than it produces.

Wash. (AP) The lanky 16-year-old looked tired listless, as he practiced with his teammates on the high school basketball court Wednesday, fie had not complained of feel ing ill, but the coaches sent him to the sidelines anyway. Moments later, he was dead, apparently of a heart attack. The youth, Robert L. Gibbs, was the son of Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Gibbs of Winlock. He was a 6-1. 180-pound forward for Winlock High School, where he was a junior. ter three years, but all these would go to cooperative groups and clubs. The department currently pro duces about 50.000 pheasants a year. Some of these go to clubs and others are released in the field during hunting season In a policy statement proposed for adoption by the commission the department says "it is the policy of the California Fish and Game Commission to insure ade quate populations of wild pheas ants on both public and private lands where they will reproduce naturally. . . and to encourage and coordinate pheasant management on both private and public hunt ing areas." The department will ask t h e commission to agree to a policy ot "preserving existing pheasant habitat and seeking and encour aging the use of further methods to improve the pheasant habitat of the state." It also will request that the com mission agree to "orderly elimina tion of put-tuke release of pheas ants by the state and reduction of the production by the state ol pheasants to 20.000 chicks annual- 1 within three years." The 20.000 chicks would be sup plied, when one day old, to "in dividuals and groups who want in raise pheasants at their own expense. . . Two game farms, at Yountville and Chino, would be maintained j Theito breed the pheasants and other exotic game birds. The proposal comes as no sur prise to informed sports groups. In October a step toward it was suggested by former Director Wil liam E. Warne when he an nounced plans to abolish at the end of 1955 the Fresno game farm and consolidate its pheasant pro duction at Yountville. At that time, Warne also an nounced that the Los Serranos game farm would be moved to Chino Prison and that the Valley Center and Brawlcy game farms production would be shifted to Chino within two years. Plans al so were announced to drop the Sacramento, Marysville and Chi co farms in the foreseeable future. In 1955, a survey by the legisla tive auditor showed it cost $3.61 !o rear an adult bird that could be released to hunters. A pheasant tag costs $2 and with that, a hunt er can bag 10 pheasants durine the season at the rate of two a day.

Ortega Picked In TV Bout NEW YORK (UPI) Caspar Ortega, lanky Mexican welter weight contender, is favored at to beat Stan Harrington to night and ' spoil the Hawaiian slugger's New York and TV de but. The 10 - rounder at Madison Square Garden between aggres sive, long-flailing Ortega and bel licose, boring-in Harrington will be televised and broadcast nation ally by NBC at 10 p.m. e.s.t. Each is 26, each scored 21 knockouts and neither has been stopped. But the long - armed Indian from Mexicali is favored because of his greater experience in 70 professional bouts: 30 more than sturdy, dark-haired Harring ton had. However, Harrington of Irish- English-Hawaiian descent is rated the harder puncher because he achieved his 21 kayoes while win ning 34 of his 40 starts. Ortega registered his 21 knock outs while winning 51 of his 70 bouts. Writers Honor Cobb NEW YORK (UPI) The New York chapter of the Baseball Writers' Assn. will roll back the years and honor Ty Cobb here Jan. 31 as the "Player of the Year" for the 1911 season. The New York chapter said the 73-ycar-old Cobb would have re ceived the honor 48 years ago had the chapter been holding the an- nual dinner then. in the first half but set up his teammates with just as devastat ing effect for a 47-29 lead. Wichita kept whittling Cincy s margin in the second half but the Big 0, guarded closely by 6-10 Gene Wiley and 6-4 Ron Heller, popped in 8 points to preserve Cincinnati's unbeaten record. Cincinnati, the nation's No, team and one of the four unbeaten major quintets, now has an 11-0, record. The Bearcats lead the Mo Valley with a 2-0 mark. But there may be trouble ahead for the Bearcats. They showed, even in victory that they missed their powerful detenseman, Bob Wiesenhahn, who broke a foot bone in scrimmage Monday night. Robertson and Co. move to Tulsa Saturday for a clash with the Hurricanes who proved sur prisingly tough against Bradley's fourth-ranked club at Tulsa. The Braves found it difficult to beat Tulsa 71-58. Bradley trailed by one point on three occasions in the first half and led by five going into the final 15 minutes. Then Dan Smith (19 points) and Chet Walker (15) spearheaded a surge that opened up the game.

NEW YORK (AP)-The 54th an nual NCAA convention reached its climax today amid speculation that Bud Wilkinson of Oklahoma may retire from coaching football In Hawaii Thursday night the Sooner coach denied that he will auit. He made no further com ment. Friends and colleagues of Wil kinson feel that the indefinite probation leveled this week on Ok lahoma by the National Collegiate Athletic Assn. has disillusioned Wilkinson to the extent that he will quit football, despite his tre mendous 121-13-3 record as head coach of the Sooners. Wilkinson also is athletic direc tor at Oklahoma which he has led to three national championships and 12 consecutive Big Eight Con ference titles. The former Minnesota star, cur rently in Hawaii to coach in the Hula Bowl, finished the season with a 7-3 record, his worst of 13 seasons at the Norman, unia school. Comments from friends. Big Eight colleagues, coaches and newspapermen who are close to Bud, could be summed up general ly: He saw this (the probation) coming, and it will Break ms heart. Bud's record is cleaner than that of 90 per cent of the coaches in the country. He loved to win, but he played by all the rules, both on the field and off. 1,349 Series Tops All-Star Pin Tourney OMAHA (AP) Harold Pen- rod Spaulding achieved the dream of evory tenpin addict when he found his name atop the AI1-Star Bowling Tournament standing board Thursday night. How it got there only he knows. The 35-year-old bowling alley manager from Moline, 111., had a wretched practice session Wednes day in a downtown alley, but he said "in those three games I learned a little trick. "I can't tell anyone what it is but that's why I bowled so well in the tourney." He rolled a 227-203-213-248-214- 244 1,349 series. He is in his third All-Star tourney. The best he got in the other two was 38th place each time. Joe Sato, Pocatello, Idaho, me chanic, took third place with 1,344. The national team champion Budweisers of St. Louis were rep resented by five men. This club by group included Ray Bluth, sec ond; Pat Patterson, fourth; Bill, Lillord, fifth; Tom Hennessey, ninth, and Dick Weber, tenth. And the worst blow of all is that another coach blew the whistle on him." No one cared to identify the "other coach," and the NCAA nev er discloses the sources of infor mation which lead to its investi gations. The NCAA has continually em phasized that Wilkinson and all other school officials connected with Oklahoma athletics have co operated fully.
