IS. mfiO PAGE NINE International Committee To Eye Brundage Proposal SAN FRANCISCO (AP) The, Sfith session of the International Olympic Committee gets down to serious business today to deal with cases involving the upcoming win ter games at Squaw Valley and the summer games at Rome. Up for immediate debate, was the latest International hot potato dropped into the august IOC laps by President Avery Brundage. The wealthy Chicago boss of the IOC proposes that national flags and hymns be eliminated from fu ture Olympic ceremonies. Varied and vociferous was the reaction here and at Squaw Val ley, where the 1UG0 winter games Start Thursday. Brundage started the contro versy two days ago when the IOC sessions opened in San Francisco's War Memorial Opera House. "A certain degree of national pride in sports accomplishments is no doubt legitimate," Brun dage declared, "but there has been so much trouble recently be cause of political infringements that I propose to ask the Interna tional Olympic Committee to ex amine the desirability of eliminat ing the use of national flags and nymns. Contestants, he said, "should eome simply as sportsmen and not TOW Huskies, Jayvees Meet Owls, Jets Paired The Oregon Tech Owls and the Kingsley Field Jets will squarej off in the feature game of a spe cial basketball twinbill scheduled for Tuesday night on Klamath Un ion's Pelican Court.

(AP) -Cancellation of the downhill events at Mount Baker Sunday left Karen Vance of Spokane and Jean Sau bert, Lakeview, Ore., pole-to-pole in the race for a place in the junior alpine national champion ships next month. Officials called off the downhill when a blizzard blotted out the course. This left Miss Vance and Miss Saubert tied in points at the end of two of the three meets which will decide the Pacific Northwest Ski Assn. team to com pete in the nationals at Aspen, Colo. The Spokane girl won the ex pert women's slalom on Saturday and Miss Saubert was second This was a reversal of their posi tions in the first qualifying meet at Bogus Basin 10 days ago. Ski officials said a giant slalom would be run at White Pass March 4 as a substitute for the canceled downhill. The third qualifying meet will be held at White Pass March 5-6. Dave Engen, McCall, Idaho, won the expert men's slalom Saturday The new Aqueduct Race Track in New York will accommodate 20,000 fans in the grandstand and club house and 14,000 more in restaur ants, lounge, garden and terrace real. as representatives of a country." Taking a hard look at interna tional politicians, Brundage later AVERY BRUNDAGE ... drops hot spud WAYNE SCOTT. Sports Editor top of the Oregon Collegiate Con ference heap despite a pair of un timely losses to the Eastern Ore gon College Mountaineers over the weekend at La Grande, returned to the practice court this afternoon in an effort to regain the form they showed in climbing to t h e number one spot. The Jets, the club that inaugur ated inter-base basketball at King, sley, are ranked as one of the top service teams in the Northwest. "It has come to the point where they are stripping the amateur game of its finest players and cluttering up the pro ranks with a lot of players who don't belong there," he asserted. "A lot of fine young amateurs are making big mistakes because they'll soon discover that they should have stayed amateurs and used their college educations and golf reputations in the business world." Six of the last 10 individuals to win the amateur titles Hillman Robbins, Arnold Palmer, Gene Littler, Billy Maxwell, Sam Urzet- ta and Skee Reigel have turned pro Only four, Harvie Ward Charley Coe, Congressman Jack Westland and Willie, remained amateurs. "There has to be a point where there simply are too many pros,' Willie asserted. "The big prize money lures the kids but only a handful can really hit the finan cial jackpot on the pro tour. "It's about time the USGA started to make amateur golf at- tractive for the fine amateur players," he added. "The best way to do this is to set up a point system in state tournaments, a valid merit system if you will, which will count toward the Walk er Cup and the National Am ateur." Those are the only two major attractions for amateurs, he holds, and the basis of picking the play ers must be made more sensible. For the average player, Willie sees his major fault as simply not taking lessons often enough. "A lot of average players could be real fine players," said Willie pointing out that he, as well as former amateur king Dick Chap man, have been taking lessons re cently. "They forget that their physical condition changes with age or that their swing gets in a bad groove. A few lessons would straighten them right out." The little man makes a lot of sense. People Read SPOT ADS you are in his address declared: ne have sworn to keep away from politics and it is only fair that the politicians keep out of sport. Olympic victories are not a meas ure of the strength of nations nor of political systems." Reaction varied on the Brun dage proposal. IOC Chancellor Otto Mayer ot Switzerland said that with some variation he agreed with Brun. dage. John J. Garland, a United States member from Los Angeles, said: "I'd rather think this suggestion over. But I do know that every athlete gets a thrill when he steps on the victory stand for his medal and hears his national anthem played." Douglas F. Roby, another U.S. member from Detroit, said: "If we start in this direction, the end might be that athletes compete in disguise. They would just be a number." At Squaw Valley, Otto Lorenz, president of the Austrian Ski Assn. said: "I am against it. Raising of flags and playing of national hymns has become a tradition of Olympic games, and one should not discard tradition without any real cause." Tuesday They recently completed a s u c- ccssful swing around California bases, one that included wins over Beal AFB and other top ranked semi-pro teams. The Merrill-KU JV clash is a natural" as an opener for the evening. In a game played in De cember at Merrill, the young Pel icans were shaded 43-42 by the energetic Husky squad and re venge for the defeat is uppermost in the minds- of the squad. The Owl Hoots, the Oregon Tech backers' association, is sponsoring the affair as a special benefit. Tickets costing $1 per person are available from individual club members or may be obtained at Herman's Mens Store. They will also be on sale at the gym door at game time tonight. The meeting between the Jets and Owls has been looked forward to since the Kingsley quint entered the inter-base level. In recent years the Owls have tangled with a number of service clubs, most of which appear on the Jets' sched ule. Among these are Hamilton AFB, McClellan AFB, and Moffett NAB. The Kingsley five has racked up impressive victories against these clubs in early games this season. Following tomorrow's match with the Owls the Jets will begin preparations for the annual Duns muir Lions Invitational Tourna ment slated February 25, 26 and 27 at Dunsmuir. The Techmen are slated for a series of rugged practices stress ing "conditioning" in preparation for their next conference action which pits them against the Red Raiders at Southern Oregon Col lege on Tuesday, February 23. ran ALUMINUM "SPORTS- LINER" Pick-Up Canopy Top With every New 1960 INTERNATIONAL PICK-UP purchased during the month of February!

It tied the world's indoor record. Dyrol Burleson, the university's reat miler, lost at New York to i rank outsider but he said it was perhaps a good thing as he had learned something. Burleson and Jim Beally, run nine for Santa Clara Youth Village raced stride for stride the last two laps of the track In the Bax or Mile at the New York Ath letic Club Games in Madison Square Garden. The crowd of 13 000 was on its feet screaming as the two struggled for the lead that Bcatty had taken first. tin the last turn Burleson ap peared to move up but he never cuile made it. No one in the crowd was sure, though, until the official announcer named Beatty as the winner in 4:03.4 with Bur leson having the same lime. Vic Reeve, Oregon freshman, was fourth, behind Ed Moran of New York A. C, in 4:14.5. "I made my move too soon,' said Burleson. "I won't make that mistake again." In the Los Angeles meet, the 60-yard race was Cook's first in door competition, and his first race at that distance. He pulled up lame and said it was an upper right leg muscle but appeared to be only a slight hurl. AH three watches caught Cook in his record time and officials said it would be submitted for iccognition. Last May Cook tied the world's 100-yard-dash record of :09.3. Jim Grelle, Oregon graduate student, won the 1,000-yard race at Los Angeles handily, a full sec ond ahead of Jerry Siebcrt of California. Grelle's time was 4:09.4. Two Oregon State College run ners failed to qualify for the finals at New York, Steve Pauley in the 60-yard hurdles and Darrell Horn in the 60-yard dash. The university runners have re turned to the campus but Pauley and Horn remained in the East for the AAU meet in New York Saturday, i LPGA TOURNEY SET FRENCH LICK, Ind.

Formally, seven of the 12 berths n the National Invitation Tourna ment and all but two of 12 pos sible at-large spots in the Nation al Collegiate Championships are open. Informally, the teams who don't quality by winning conference championships are battling for only a handful of places with many of them pegged (or an nouncement lo tournament places within the next week or so.

It's also next to a cinch lhat the NIT is holding open two places for runncrs-up in the Skyline and Missouri Valley conferences, which send their league winners into the NCAA, and probably a spot for either St. Josephs (Pa or La Salle, whichever loses out in the race to represent the Middle Atlantic Conference in the NCAA. That means that only two or three berths actually are up for grabs. In the sprawling NCAA field 14 teams qualify as conference MaseratiCops So. Cal Event LANCASTER, Calif. (UPI) - Bob Drake, driving a fleet "bird cage" Maserati, today averaged 87 miles an hour to win the 20- lap main event road race at Wil low Springs. The win was the Hollywood racer's second major race vic tory of the year in the light 2.8 liter machine. After a second place finish at Riverside in its December debut, Drake and the "birdcage" scored an impressive win at Palm Springs last month Ken Miles, North Hollywood pushing a Porsche R. S.
