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 has had one tuneup
fight for the match. He stopped
Bobby Young in two rounds, Dec
14 at Boston.
Bender is on a seven-fight win
ning streak since he resumed box

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

strikes in a row during a second

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

was 10-2,

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.

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.

to the picture when several club
owners were asked just what they
meant by favoring expansion. 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

We'll have to shoot better than

Belko said Sunday night.
Oregon split over the weekend.

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.

First, they both want to be con

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.
