Blast From African Newspaper
JOHANNESBURG. Soulh Africa
(API "The worst mannered golf

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

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

Hall Of Fame Picks

NEW YORK (UPI) - The an

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.

Personally, I want a few chuckles

inscribe the names of Babe Her

Dykes.
Why, one incident alone is
enough to win it for the Babe.

but the day the salesman
knocked on his door and asked
if he wanted to buy an encyclo

Babe. "My kid's too old for them

Then, too, there was El Goofy's
immortal reaction to the feeling
on the Yankee team that Tony
Lazzeri was the "brains" of the

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

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

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.

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

The workout was termed "good"

The Beavers will have Karl

nine straight before losing to

Washington has lost its last four

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.

The arrival of Ingemar Johans
son, the world heavyweight champ
from Sweden, overshadows most
of the boxing news on a week in
which there is only sporadic firing
around the nation.
The usual Friday night fight
show on television has been
blacked out for a week by a bowl
ing program. Many other boxing
centers are finding it difficult to
arrange attractive programs.
As a result of the skimpy pro
gram, Johansson's trip to receive
the Edward J. Neil Memorial
Award as "Fighter of the Year"
from the Boxing Writers Assn. of
New York and his conferences in
regard to a rematch with Floyd
Patterson will dominate the news.
Tlin Inn fiirht nf th ujonlr it
scheduled for Wednesday night at
Mobile, Ala. between Kenny Lane,
Muskegon, Mich., and Ralph Du
pas, New Orleans. Dupas won a
decision In 1955 and Lane in 1956
in two previous battles.
Ring magazine rales Lane No.
6 and Dupas No. 8 among the
welters although the National Box
ing Assn. lists Dupas No. 10 among
the welters and places Lane No. 1
challenger to Carlos Ortiz in the
junior welter ranks.
Lane, a southpaw, was stopped
on cuts in a junior welter title
match with Ortiz last June. He
got back to work in October when
he beat Virgil Akins. In his latest
outing he stopped Ray Lancaster,
Dec. 29 at Minneapolis.
Dupas, a clever boxer, bounced
back from a defeat by Rudell
Stitch Oct. 7 to stop Pat Lowry
Nov. 17 in New Orleans.
The bout will be carried on net
work (ABC) television at 10 p.m.
(EST).
Buffalo, once a real hot fight
town, is excited about a meeting
of two young unbeaten light
weights Tuesday night. Jackie
Donnelly, Buffalo, who has 17 vic
tories and one draw on his record,
boxes Dickie Diveronica, Carmen
Basilio's protege from Syracuse,
unbeaten in 23 fights.
