Sports Editor ball to his credit owner-coach Abe Saperstein nevertheless freely predicted that someday Gipson would be a great star. His prophecy, aided by superb tutoring of the youngster on his part, has borne fruit. This season the big fellow is performing in the fashion expected of him. He's not only a tower of strength as a player, but an outstanding showman as well. He's the rare combination of exceedingly tall man, brilliant player and comic so important in the Globetrotters turnstyle - conscious scheme of things. That one year of basketball J. C played for Thomas Jefferson High School, in his native Los Angeles back in 1951 occurred in his senior year. He was so outstanding that he was named the Los Angeles Prep Player of the Year. He de cided to cast his lot with the Globetrotters and matured rapidly as a player on the team's jaunts around the globe. It is his conten tion that he has acquired more of an education visiting so many places around the world than he would have gained by going to college. Sugar Ray, Paul Bender Meet Friday By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Sugar Ray Robinson puts his version of the world middleweight title on the line for the first time in almost two years Friday at the Boston Garden against Paul Ben der of Brookline, Mass. Robinson, 39, was stripped of his title last summer by the Na tional Boxing Assn. but he still is recognized as champ in New York and Massachusetts. The NBA ,took action because of his inactivity, His last title match was March 25, 1958 at Chicago when he beat Carmen Basilio in 15 rounds to win back the crown. Gene Full mer is the NBA champ. Sugar Ray has had one tuneup fight for the match. He stopped Bobby Young in two rounds, Dec 14 at Boston.

West Wallops East In Pro Grid Finale LOS ANGELES (AP) - The accurate arm o Johnny Unitas, the dossed defensive play of Gene (Big Daddy) Lipscomb and the talented toe of Paul Hornung proved a winning combination in the 10th annual Pro Bowl. The West walloped the East 38 21 Sunday for its sixth triumph in the National Football League's All-Star series. A crowd of 56.876 in the Coli seum saw Baltimore's Unitas, named the game's most valuable player, toss three touchdown pass es, all in the first half, for a new Pro Bowl record. Green Bay's Hornung scored one touchdown, kicked a field goal and five conversions for a total of 14 points, another record. The West's defensive line was led by Baltimore's Lipscomb, named the game's top lineman. They held the East running game to a scant 59 yards. Y. A. Title of San Francisco spelled Unitas and tossed seven strikes in a row during a second quarter touchdown drive. He com pleted 13 of 18 passes for 72 per cent. Los Angeles' Jon Arnett led the West's runners with 61 yards in 11 Expansion Probable NFL Executives OK League Applications MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP)-One word "alignment" could be the key to whether the National Foot ball League expands this year. The league's executive commit tee met for an hour Sunday night and voted favorably to consider at Wednesday's annual meeting franchise applications from Dal las, St. Louis, Miami and Minne- apolis-St. Paul. Acting Commissioner Austin H. Gunsel said a majority vote of the executive committee compris ing one representative from each of the 12 clubs approved the move. He refused to disclose the ote but a reliable source said it was 10-2, The word "alignment" crept in- Bob Pettit Hits 10.000, Talks Taxes ST. LOUIS (AP) Bob Petit, the bachelor business man, had just reached the select 10,000' point circle of pro basketball and was talking with boss Ben Kerner in the St. Louis Hawks dressing room. The topic of discussion: tax de- ductions. This wasn't surprising because the former Louisiana State All- America personifies the ballplayer-businessman of modern sports. Bob is an easy going, quiet, well mannered young man. He never lets his ego or his temper get out of hand. He makes about $40,000 a year, $25,000 of it from the Hawks. "I just play each game as it comes, one at a time, and never set any goals for myself or shoot for records," Bob said. Pettit reached the 10,000-point plateau at the age of 27. It took him roughly 5'4 seasons. The 6-foot-9 scorer-rebounder rewrote the National Basketball Assn. record book last season with 2,105 points and a 29.2 aver age. This season his average is 26.5, second best of his career but his rebounding and passing are the best of his career. Only nine other players in NBA history have reached the 10,000 mark and none were close to Ms career average of 25.1. He scored 34 in the Hawks 135-119 victory over Minneapolis Sunday. In other games Sunday, the Boston Celtics, leaders of the Eastern Division, defeated the Philadelphia Warriors, 129 -123; The Syracuse Nationals turned back the New York Knickerbock ers, 129-117, and the Detroit Pis tons outscored the Cincinnati Royals, H5-110. The world champion Celts lengthened their lead to 4V4 games over the Warriors. In last Saturday's action, the Knicks downed the Royals, 132-106 and the Pistons defeated the Lakers, 105-98.

Hospi tal attendants said there was no immediate indication how long it would be before he could return home. carries. He picked up 44 more on passes. 38 on punt returns and 68 on kickoff returns for a total of 211 yards. The West's defensive line put a terrific rush on Pittsburgh's Bob by Layne. He was saddled all day with the quarterhacking because Norm Van Brocklin of Philadel phia had the flu. Layne's 43-yard pass to Pitts burgh's Jimmy Orr sparked the East's final drive in the last peri od. The East marched to the 5 yard line but needed eight plays and a penalty to score. Several times the East tried, but failed, to power over Lipscomb at tackle. Finally Layne passed a two-yard-er to Cleveland's Jimmy Brown for the score.

The owners, who declined to be identi fied, said lliey thought the league should expand if a ' satisfactory alignment of the two conferences could be agreed on. Also, an agreeable schedule and method of alloting players to new clubs would be necessary before new teams were admitted. The vote to consider the four franchise applications was cast along the lines of expansion feel ing. Ten clubs have indicated a desire to consider expansion now. George Preston Marshall of Wash ington and Waller Wolfner of the Cardinals are against adding any team. Marshall remains firm in his be lief that the league should remain a 12-club circuit. However, he could be waging a losing light unless he gets at least one more team to join -the Red' skins and Cardinals in the minority opinion. The strategy of the others is to pass a constitutional amend ment changing from a, unanimous vote to 10-12 the number neces sary to expand. Marshall is hop ing the New York Giants will join him. Wellington and Jack Mara of the Giants say they are undecided on expansion. They want to hear spe cific plans first. It was learned that Gunsel, who was named acting commissioner last October after the death of Bert Bell, and Marshall Leahy, San Francisco attorney, are lead ing candidates for commissioner. A source said Gunsel possibly holds a 7-5 edge. It takes nine votes to elect. An Associated Press poll of the teams showed six clubs firmly committed to Gunsel, two to Leahy and four uncommitted.

'Unbeatable' Wipe-Out Week Over, Teams Hit The Books By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The bulk of the major college basketball teams turn full atten tion to the classroom for mid-term exams this week, leaving unan swered the question of which is the nation's best. Bradley's giant killing Braves and their invincible home court at Peoria, 111., chopped down Cin cinnati's clear-cut claim to No. 1 last Saturday with a sizzling 91-90 defeat of the last major unbeaten. It was, in fact, wipe-out week UO Ducks Practice Shooting EUGENE, Ore. (API Ore gon s basketball team is going to practice its shooting this week. We'll have to shoot better than we did last weekend if we want to keep on winning," coach Steve Belko said Sunday night. Oregon split over the weekend. losing to the University of Port land 66-43 Friday night, and then bouncing back to trim the Pilots 65-50 Saturday night at Eugene. Against Portland in the losing effort, Oregon shot at only a .218 clip. And that, said Belko, "was as poor as any team l ve ever coached." Oregon picked up a bit Satur day night, hitting 32 per cent of its shots, but Belko said that wasn't too good, either. "We'll have to concentrate on some shooting drills this week," Belko said, in order to get ready for a Friday night game at Seat tle with Washington. "Washington has a good ball club and a nice bunch of sopho mores," Belko said. "I think we'll have to improve our defense too." Belko said the University of Portland has improved greatly since the Far West Classic earlier this season. One of the reasons, he said, is Portland's Bill Garner, a 6-9 sophomore. "Garner is developing into a fine defensive player. He's starting to play like Bill Russell, knocking shots down all over the place, Garner drew the job of check ing Oregon's 6-7 Glenn Moore, and Friday night held him to four points. Moore rebounded Satur day, though, scoring 21. "Moore was able to oul maneuver him better," Belko said. Oregon, which now has a 13-3 record for the season, will prac tice in Eugene through Wednes day, and then leave the following day for Seattle. Belko said Moore's injured an kle, hurt in a game several weeks ago, should be at full strength by then. Even if Moore hadn't fully re covered Saturday night, his 21 points still topped both teams. Oregon took its first decisive lead with 11 minutes left to play when Chuck Rask's field goal and free throw put the Ducks out in front 42-32. Portland's Jim Altenhofen and Art Easterly herped chop the mar gin to 47-42, but Denny Strickland, Dale IlciTon and Moore sank three field goals in a row and Portland never got close.

Then LaSalle, defeated by Syra cuse on Wednesday, before Villa nova, beaten by West Virginia 89-81, and top-ranked Cincinnati fell Saturday night. Now the race for the top national rankings is thoroughly jumbled, with a half-dozen or more teams presenting impressive credentials.

Machen, Folley Try Aaain In Cow Palace SAN FRANCISCO (AP)-Hcavy-l weights Eddie Machen and Zora Folley both go out with a lot to prove lonignt when tney Dame over 12 rounds or less at the Cow Palace. First, they both want to be con sidered worthy challengers for the title held by Ingemar Johansson. Secondly, when they met here on April 9, 1958, a charitable word to describe the action was dull. That one ended in a draw amid boos from fans who though Folley had won and fans who didn't think they'd seen a good fight. After that bout, Machen was knocked out by Johansson in one round and -Folley lost a disputed decision to England's Henry Coop er to further deflate their stock. Both say things will be much different this time. Each won sev en without a loss in 1959. Machen vows this lime he's go ing to "knock him out as soon as possible." Folley said, "We were both counter punchers and waiting for the oilier last time. I think we'll both be leading this time." When they first met, Machen was a 2',2 to 1 lavorite as the No. 1 ranking heavyweight chal lenger. Folley was No. 2. Even though currently still No. 2, the fighter from Chandler, Airz., finds himself on the short end of odds at about 2-1. A fat purse for a fight against Sonny Liston of Chicago, the No. 3 ranked contender, awaits the win ner with several promoters bid ding for such a fight, Machen has the additional job of convincing fans in San Fran cisco, where he has had big mon ey fights, that he's a top boxer.
