Soulh Africa (API "The worst mannered golf er ever to visit the Union," cried the Johannesburg Express today in shocked tones. Tommy Bolt, the hot-tempered U.S. Open champion from Crystal: River, Fla., was the object of the Express' wrath. Bolt won a challenge series against South African Gary Play er, the British Open champion, a couple of weeks ago. The Express, demanded the South African Golfers Union make an official complaint to the U.S. Professional Golfers Assn. for Bolt's "appalling behavior." The Express objected mostly to Bolt's salty language. It claimed be cursed one official who offered East Deals Decisive Licking To West Stars In Hula Bowl HONOLULU, Hawaii (UPI The nation's top college backfield men proved themselves on the field as well as on paper here Sunday as they closed out the season's football schedule in the 14th annual Hula Bowl. Billy Cannon, Richie Lucas, Today's Sport Parade Writers To Consider Hall Of Fame Picks By OSCAR FRALEY NEW YORK (UPI) - The an nual popularity poll is under way today as 10-year members of the Baseball Writers Association of America fill, out ballots to elect a possible 10 of their retired heroes to the Hall of Fame. More than 400 10-year men who played between 1930 and 1954 and have thus been retired five years are eligible to receive votes. Nat urally, with each writer voting for 10 men and 75 per cent of the voles required for admission, it becomes increasingly difficult to hit the jackpot. But of the nearly 40 players who became eligible this year, Cas To Know By Tuesday SAN FRANCISCO (AP)-Oregon football coach Len Casanova met secretly here Sunday with coach seeking University of California athletic officials. - The San Francisco Chronicle says he confirmed by telephone from his Eugene home that he had met with U.C. representatives Bud Hastings and Greg Engel hard. It was not made clear whether he actually had been offered the gridiron post vacated by Pete Elliott, who went to Illinois.- "This is about the fourth or fifth meeting I had with Califor nia," Casanova was quoted. "I'd say that I'll know by Tues day whether I m interested in being the coach at Cal." The Chronicle says Eddie Erde- Iatz, former Navy coach, has been contacted by Cal officials for an other interview in Berkeley Tues day. Erdelatz and Dee Andros, an Elliott aide, are mentioned promt nently for the post. Coach Hires Team Doctor JERSEY CITY, N. J. (AP) - St. Peter's basketball Coach Don Kennedy thinks he has just what the doctor ordered for his slump ing team a doctor. With several key players ailing and after several defeats recently Kennedy decided to hire a chiro practor to tune up his players. Dr. Ernest Greigcr of Jersey City, the chiropractor, promised Kennedy his treatments would make the players better coordi nated, sharpen their shooting and add 15 points to the team scoring average. Last Friday Dr. Greiger X rayed the team and then manipu lated their spines. Saturday night St. Peter's tried ut Hs cure. It worked. The Dea eoc defeated American Univer sity 79-68 at the Jersey City Ar mory. ' him a cool drink. i In another match, complained the Express, an official took a look at Bolt's lie in the rough and Tommy yelled to Player: "Say, Gary, call this imbecile off." Continued the Express: "It is sale to say that at each and and every course on which Bolt played, he insulted at least one official. Frequently Player had to apologize for his manners. "Never on one sports field has one man made so many enemies in so short a time." But Tommy had some sup porters. Sid Brewer, president of the South African Professional Golf ers Union, shrugged it off.

Because, year in and year out, and that's a lot of years, son, this corner shills for three fav orites who, by their very nature, belong in anybody's hall of fame. Personally, I want a few chuckles thrown in with the hits, runs and errors, which is why I have to inscribe the names of Babe Her man, Lefty Gomez and Jimmy Dykes. Why, one incident alone is enough to win it for the Babe. That wasn't even on the ball field but the day the salesman knocked on his door and asked if he wanted to buy an encyclo pedia. "Don't need one," quoth the Babe. "My kid's too old for them three-wheeled bikes." Then, too, there was El Goofy's immortal reaction to the feeling on the Yankee team that Tony Lazzeri was the "brains" of the infield. Thus one day when a double play ball was hit to Lefty, he flipped it to Lazzeri even though Tony was standing idly out of the play. "Why did you do that?" Laz zeri asked. "Well," shrugged Lefty, "I didn't know what to do with it. But you're so darned smart I figured you'd know what to do." With Dykes there are a million stories. But the cigar-smoking lit tle man really hit the jackpot the day he coined baseball parlance by labeling Joe McCar thy of the Yankees a "push but ton manager." One of the young upstarts has to go. The three happiness boys have priority. Vandals Upset Montana State MOSCOW. Idaho (AP) Idaho, scoreless in the first five minutes, surged to a 22-11 halftime lead and went on to upset Montana State College 56-45 in a basketball game Saturday night. The Vandals, paced by Dale James, took the lead at 13-11 and never again were headed. James scored 21 points and was high man for the game.

Bobby Locke, another South' Afri can ace and four times holder of the British Open, told the Sunday Times that Player lost the series because of Bolt's "psychological treatment." "When you play man of the Yanks, you've got to switch off your hearing aid," Locke re marked dryly. At the moment, Bolt is on an indefinite probation by the U.S. PGA for his frequent outbursts.

Pcnn State's Lucas, voted out standing back of the annual at traction, clicked for two touch down passes, captured individual ball-carrying honors with 52 yards in 13 carries from scrimmage and directed the Easterners flaw lessly from the quarterback spot Mississippi's Larry Grantham shared the spotlight with his all around play which won for him the game's outstanding lineman award. Following Cannons scoring punt return, the East added two touchdowns to open a 21-0 gap in the first quarter. Grantham took an 11-yard pass in the end zone from Lucas and Cannon followed minutes later with a 12-yard re ception from Lucas. Jack Spikes, Texas Christian fullback, smashed over from the four to put the West on the score board in the second period. Cannon's third touchdown came late in the third period on a four yard plunge, and end Dick Brooks of Purdue ended the scoring in the closing minutes of play with a 36-yard pass interception. SMU quarterback Don Meredith was contained effectively by the big fast East line which took charge early and maintained pressure throughout. The Mustang tosser, who stole the show in the recent Shrine East-West game in San Francisco, connected with six of 20 pass attempts and had two intercepted. Willamette, Linfield Lead By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Willamette and Linfield perched atop the Northwest Con ference basketball ladder meet Friday night. That and a Saturday night sec ond game between the two, may have a great effect on the con ference race. Both to date have whipped all opponents in the conference with ease. Linfield's starting five played only 15 minutes Saturday night as the Wildcats beat College of Idaho 81-51. Willamette belted Whitman 84 - 70 behind the 32 points of Ed Grosscnbacher. Lewis and Clark was nipped 76-73 by the Pearl Harbor service team at Honolulu. Pacific, plagued by a ' 9-game losing streak, was idle Saturday night. Linfield, 3-0 in conference play, had beaten College of Idaho 93-60 Friday night. Willamette, that night, defeated Whitman 78-55. Linfield ace Jack Riley netted 15 points in the 15 minutes he played Saturday. That was enough to boost his total to 252 and a new school scoring record. Grosscnbacher almost estab lished a new scoring mark for his school. The Willamette star was just 4 points short of the all-time nign wiiiamcue individual scor ing mark of 36 set in 1955 by Neil Caubie. Other games Friday and Satur day include Lewis and Clark at Whitman and Pacific at College of Idaho, each for a two-night stand.

Lombardi Rates Honor NEW YORK (UPI) - Vince Lombardi, guiding force behind the best Green Bay Packer rec ord in 15 years, has been named National Football League "Coach of the Year" for 1939 in the an nual United Press International poll. The Packers, representing the league's smallest but most football-conscious city, posted the worst record in their history (1-10-1) in 1958. They hired Lom bardi as head coach and general manager last January. He guided Green Bay to a 7-5 record and a tie for third in the Western Di vision in 1959. This impressive showing by a team plagued by a weak defense and poor morale in 1958 earned Lombardi 18 of the 31 votes cast by sports writers who covered the 1959 games in the 11 league cities. Lombardi was the second mem ber of the Green Bay organiza tion to win a UPI poll following the 1959 NFL season. Boyd Dow lcr. Green Bay offensive end, was voted the league's outstanding rookie. Challenges Loom Unbeaten Quints By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The storm signals are up in col lege basketball today and by an other week the skimpy list of major unbeatens could be non ex'stent. That includes Cincinnati's top ranking Bearcats as well as the relatively untested Texas A&.M, Villanova and LaSalle teams, the trio that joins Oscar Robertson & Co. in making up the current per fect record class. Cincinnati, which has swept past 12 straight opponents, faces "Chal lenge Week" within the rough Missouri Valley Conference meeting St. Louis in Cincinnati Wednesday before moving on to Peoria, III., for a Saturday game with Bradley. The Bearcats whipped Bradley 86-71 i Bradley's only loss in 11 games) in December, but had two big factors going for them then. First, the Bearcats were at home. Second, they had hulking 6-4 Bob Wiesenhahn, their best defensive player and a solid rebounder, available to take some of the pres sure off Robertson. Now Wiesenhahn is out with a foot injury and in his two-game Beavers, UW Clash In Seattle SEATTLE (AP)-Oregon State's basketball squad arrived here Sunday in the midst of a mild snowstorm, but soon warmed up with a workout in Hec Edmundson Pavilion where they'll meet the Washington Huskies Monday night. The workout was termed "good" by Coach Salts Gill, who said he'll go with his regular starling team against the Huskies. The Beavers will have Karl Anderson. 6-fect-10. at center; Jay Carly, 6-7, and Steve Flynn, 6-5, at forwards and Jim Woodland and Bill Wold al guards. Carly is the team's top scorer with 126 points in 11 games. OSC has a record of 9-2 not including a loss to a Navy team in Hawaii. The Beavers had won nine straight before losing to Stanford. Washington has lost its last four games, but never by more than two points. Southern Cal eked out one point victories over the Hus kies last weekend. "I'll settle for that one point dif ference," said Gill. NCAA Men Set Debate On Sub Rule MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) Whether or not 22 men again will trot on or off a college football field when the ball changes hands is being decided by a small group of men assembled here today. The National Collegiate Athletic Assn. rules committee opened its three-day deliberations, beset by the problem of trying to please two factions directly opposed in the substitution debate. The coaches, eager for more manpower, are on record as favor ing a return to free substitution. The NCAA, the "brass" of col lege athletics and the policing body which last week in New York slapped suspensions on Ok lahoma and Tulsa, recommends that the rules makers ignore the wishes of the men who teach the game in favor of a status quo. Whatever the rules makers de cide, their director said, it will be a decision based on a thorough study of proposals and arrived at with an open mind. "The committee will give thor ough consideration to any sug gested rule changes," General Robert R. Neyland, chairman said. "The committee will receive the report of the subcommittee on rule changes, and then go over the suggestions." The subcommittee is made up of Ray Eliot, Wally Butts and David M. Nelson. Butts and Eliot were retired as district represen tatives effective Jan. 1, and were replaced by Wallace Wade and Ivy Williamson, respectively. Owl Hoots To Meet The Oregon Tech Boosters, the Owl Hoots, meet tonight In the Chuck Wagon Restaurant at 6:30 for their regular weekly session. Expected to be on hand are coaches Wally Pnlmberg, who Is preparing his Owl cagcrs for a two-game Oregon Collegiate Conference stand against East ern Oregon this weekend, and George Miller with news of his wrestling team which gets Its first test on February 5 with Humboldt State Colege. A large turnout Is expected since each member Is to bring a guest to the dinner. absence so far, Robertson has. been held to 27 and 24 points well under his normal 40-point pace while he attends more to rebounding and defense. St. Louis, 12th-ranked nationally with a 10-3 record, has the height and muscle to more than match Cincinnati while Bradley, fourth ranked nationally and unbeaten in 29 home games, has the scoring power to beat Cincinnati unless the Big O can concentrate on shooting. Warriors May Try To Grab Loop Lead By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS If the Philadelphia Warriors want to grab that National Basket ball Assn. eastern division title thi? is the week to get to work. The Warriors trail the division leading Boston Celtics by 3'i games after winning twice over the weekend while Boston split a pair. The two clubs have four games scheduled this week, in cluding a pair against each other. The Celtics have lost 5 of their last 7 games since lying the all time NBA winning string of 17. To add to their woes, Bill Russell, their great center, came up with a sprained ankle in a 121-111 loss to the St. Louis Hawks Sunday. Russell will have the ankle X rayed in Philadelphia today to determine the extent of the injury. He missed only three minutes of Sunday's game after Chuck Share fell on him in a first period scramble for the ball. The Warriors came on fast in the final quarter to beat New York 116-103 Sunday night. Wilt Chamberlain scored 48 points Sat urday to help Philadelphia to a 119-112 victory over Syracuse. Wilt scored 35 Sunday night, two in an 8-point splurge that Oregon's Belko Disturbed Over Narrow EUGENE (AP) Oregon won Iwo more basketball games over the weekend but coach Steve Bel ko said Sunday night the margins were small enough to be disturb ing. Against Idaho al Moscow Fri day night, . Oregon won - 52-48 "We didn't play too well," Belko said Saturday night Oregon went to Pullman, met Washington State and won 68-64. "We looked fairly good, except for the final min utes," the coach said Belko said Oregon lost leads of 9 and 11 points late in the two games. "Maybe it's inconsisten cy," he said. The coach said the return of Glenn Moore was a factor in the victories, even though the 6-7 PSC Leading OCC Caqers By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Portland Slate, an idle week ahead of it, sits alone on top of the Oregon Collegiate Conference basketball standings.

Cliffhangers Pose Problem SEATTLE (AP) - The big question around the University of Washington campus Monday was when is the Husky basketball team going to start winning those cliffhangers. The Huskies dropped their fourth straight close decision Sat urday night a 69-68 loss to South crn California. It was the second night In a row the Trojans had beaten Washington by single point. Face Sough Week Texas A&M U00, Villanova 1 9-0 1 and LaSalle 8-0i also have immediate problems.

Charley Tyra paced New York with 25 points. Bob Pettit's 39 points were too much for the Celtics as the west ern division leaders, trailing only momentarily in the second period, picked up momentum and led by as many as 18 during the second half. Tom Heinsohn led Boston wilh 29 points. The Cells beat De troit 126-103 on Saturday. The Minneapolis Lakers, only six percentage points behind sec ond place Detroit in the west, swept a weekend series with Cin cinnati, winning 121-91 Saturday and 112-106 Sunday.

Just as the final gun sounded, Oregon's Bill Simmons was fouled. He sank both his free throws. Oregon now has a 12-2 record for the season, and today starts drills aimed at preparing for a two-game series with Portland University next weekend. The first game will- be Friday night in Portland. Then the teams return here for a Saturday night contest. It will be the first time since the season began that Oregon has had a full week to prepare for a game, Belko said.
