up a bit in the last few years, the rules don't, as yet, call
for two balls in a game, but Pelican senior guard Steve

'Olive Branches?'
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

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.

MOBILE. Ala. (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.
Jack Lee of Cincinnati will be
the North quarterback, spelled by

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
Most of Thursday night's major
action was concentrated in the
potent Missouri Valley Conference,

ranked St. Louis (9-3) outclassed

Lewis and Clark, with a game
tonight against Hawaii University,

Willamette had command over
College of Idaho after it spurted
from an early 16-16 tie into a 40-

vantage.
The winners were led by Eddie
Grossenbacher with 17, Larry

Linfield was paced by Ken Da

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.

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.

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
