Well, they miss him bad enough toiay to have to start a home winning streak from scratch after The Citadel broke' the 44-game string Tuesday night 83-80 and set itself up as the one to beat in the Southern Conference race. The loss, first in two games for new coach George King, also shattered a string of 33 confer-' ence victories at home. It also made King, who succeeded Fred Schaus, now coaching the profes sional Los Angeles Lakers, a prophet of sorts. "A team can't lose a two-year All America and expect to be better, especially early in t h e season," .King said before the; campaign began. But while West Virginia lost its! home streak, an even bigger one continued. St. Bonavcnture, which plays in the armory in Olean. N.Y., won its 94th "home" game, beating little Villa Madonna (Ky 93-73, behind Tom Stith's 32 points. Cincinnati, last year's national champion behind All America Os car Robertson, now in the pros, had to go all out in the final min utes to beat Miami (Ohio) 72-60. North Carolina won its second in two nights, easily defeating: Virginia 81-47, sub Jim Speaks sparked North Carolina State to u 70-67 victory over Clemson. Okla homa State went to overtime to beat Arkansas 59-50, Illinois beat Butler 84-52, Michigan conquered Pitt 8S-70. Maryland won over George Washington 80-68, and California squeaked by San Jose 43-39. West Virginia lost a 43-42 half time lead in a game that was tied nine times and the lead changed six times. The Citadel, which hasj won three in a row, went ahead to slay at 64-63 with a little over seven minutes remaining. The Mountaineers made it 81-80 with 23 seconds left but Jerry Buchanan nailed it with a field goal. Stith's 14 straight points in the second half shook off Villa Madon na while Tom Thacker and Bob Wicsenhahn did the late work for Cincinnati to help the Bearcats pull away from Miami. Thacker! scored 20 poiitts and Dave Zeller got the same for the losers. Doug Moe got 20 points and Hi rebounds for the Tarheels who took advantage of wild passing and poor shooting by Virginia. Speaks came off the bench late in the first half and sent N.C. State to a 32-26 lead and scored 11 of the first 17 in the second half to slave off Clemson. Choppy Pultcrson led the Tigers' second- half surge thai came within fuur points in the final minute. Oklahoma State outscored Ar kansas 13-4 in overtime after go ing without a point for seven min utes of the second period. Illinois hit .523 from the floor and got 1 points from Jerry Colangelo while John Tidwell's 38 points paced Michigan. Maryland's 28 of 37 from the foul line bailed out the Terps against George Wash ington, whose 16 of 28 free throws proved its undoing. Each team scored 26 field goals, Cal's victory was its 24th straight at home but came in the face of a hoi-shooting first half by San Jose, which led 27-22. The Bears' defense gave the losers only two free throws for 11 min utes of the second half. Duquesnc went on an 18-0 tear! in the second half and came on lo beat Georgetown (DC 95-81 and Santa Clara edged Miami iFla.) 66-65.

Expansion Hassle Near End ST. LOUIS, Mo. (AP)-Despite last minute snags, the American League's six-week struggle to complete its expansion program for 1961 was expected to reach fulfillment today with a new team In Los Angeles. Walter O'Mallcy, the National League's leader in the bitter ter ritorial dispute with the American League, ended his opposition to another team in Los Angeles with a surprise peace proposal Tues day. The owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers agreed to allow the new franchise holders Bob Reynolds and actor Gene Autry to operate in his territory next year provid ed they meet certain conditions. All but two were acceptable. The disagreement revolves around O'Malley's insistence that the new team, which will be known as the Angels, agree to play in 20,500-seat Wrigley Field the first two years. Then he wants them to sign a three-year lease on Chavez Ravine, the park being built for the Dodgers, with, O'Malley cutting in on the radio TV income. The new Los Angeles owners refused to be bound by such an agreement. They want to play only one year in Wrigley Field, then feel free to play anywhere they like if Chavez Ravine isn't ready. Reynolds and Autry and their group are opposed to giving O'Malley a cut of their television and radio income. Reynolds and O'Malley, each supported by club owners, con- Finishes SF Player Swaps fc ST. LOUIS, Mo. (UPI) The San Francisco Giants' probably have finished all their trading ac tivity for the present time with the acquisition of Harvey Kuenn in exchange for Johnny Antonelli and Willie Kirkland, "We have nothing more on the fire right now," said manager Al- vin Dark. "In fact I plan to fly to my home in Louisiana as soon as I can catch a plane. Dark scoffed at reports the Gi ants are going to offer the Cin cinnati Reds catcher Bob Schmidt, shortstop . Eddie Bres- soud, second baseman Don Bias ingame and pitcher Jack Sanford in exchange for catcher Ed Bailey. I ve never heard of such a trade and it would" fie preposter ous," he said. The new manager admitted, however, that other trades . still might be made later in the win ter. He indicated that the Giants are especially interested in good relief pitcher. AFL Owners Ignore Loss DALLAS, Tex. (AP) American Football League owners are un perturbed by heavy financial losses, feel the infant loop has rosy prospects and expect to do even better landing college stars. Commissioner Joe Foss voiced this optimistic outlook Tuesday after an AFL Executive Commit tee session on the heels of the pro league's second annual draft. The future of the league was discussed at length for the past two days," Foss said, "and there is strong agreement that the American Football League is on the way to becoming one of the finest sports attractions in the country." Among other things, the league leaders decided Eastern and Western division winners will meet Jan. 1 for the AFL cham pionship. Clubs in the AFL, which started operating this season in a sharp rivalry with the older National Football League, - represent Bos ton, Buffalo, Dallas, Denver! Houston, Los Angeles, New York and Oakland. Spokesmen report all eight fran chises are on solid footing and feel the new league "has ad- a vanced far beyond even the most optimistic predictions," Foss said forrod into the early hours in an effort to settle disputed points. "They're making a great deal of headway," an American League owner said. "Each realizes he has to give a little and take a little." Before going into his post-midnight session with O'Malley, Reyn olds told a news conference he was confident his club would be in Los Angeles next year. "I don't expect too much dif ficulty in coming to an agreement with Mr. O'Malley," said the 46-year-old former Stanford Univer sity football star, Reynolds said his club plans to participate in the selection of play ers from the major league talent pool at the Dec. 13 player allot ment meeting in Boston. Fred Haney, former manager of Mil waukee and Pittsburgh, will se lect the players. He was named the club's player-personnel direc tor Tuesday, Brown Back Sets Record NEW YORK (AP) - Jimmy Brown, Cleveland's line-cracking fullback, is the first player in the 41-year history of the National Football League to gain over 1,000 yards a season three times. The former Syracuse All-Amer ica picked up 135 yards against Washington last Sunday for a 10- game total of 1.057, league sta tistics released today show. That gave him a 1,000 - plus total for the third time in his four years in the circuit. Brown, who set the one-season league record by smashing oppos ing lines for 1,527 yards in 1958 and gained 1.329 during the 1959 season, has averaged 5.8 yards a carry this year for a 149-yard lead over runncrup Jim Taylor of Green Bay. Taylor has gained 898 yards for a 4.8-yard average. Taylor's record-shattering team mate, Paul Hornung, is way out! front in the point-scoring race with a 58-point lead over second place Bobby Walston of Philadelphia. P0IET!

Estes Kefauvcr, D-Tcnn., said to day a federal athletic commission might be needed to fight gangster elements in boxing. Kcfauver, chairman of the Sen- ale boxing investigation, deplored the idea of setting up another new government bureau. But he said Congress might have to take the step to get more "honesty and uniform regulations" into the sport. Kefauvcr's antitrust and mon opoly subcommittee continued hearings today on underworld in fluence in boxing. Scheduled to testify were New York Manager! Herman (Hymie the Mink) Wall-, man, former middleweight and welterweight champion Carmen Basilio, and Jack Kearns, w h o once managed heavyweight cham pion Jack Dempsey. keep Out Racketeers The proposed federal commis sion would license managers, pro moters and matchmakers and regulate boxing generally to see that everything was kept clean, including televised fights. Racketeers would not be able to obtain licenses and could be sent1 to prison if they were convicted of operating behind "front-men." "The idea has much lo speak for it and will receive serious consideration," Kcfauver told United Press International. Wallman said Tuesday that he! was told racketeer Frankie Carbo had controlled virtually all match-, es in Madison Square Garden since 1952. Although protesting. Wallman agreed with chief staff investiga tor John G. Bonomi that Carbo controlled his fighters' matches through Bill Broun, who became Pilots Plaster Portland St. PORTLAND (AP)-The Univer sily of Portland turned its tall boys loose in the second half and overwhelmed the Portland State basketball team Tuesday night 68-36.

Later Bonomi read testimony that all bouts in Madi son Square Garden were ar ranged by Carbo through Brown. Underworld Boxing Czar Carbo, now in a New York state prison on a conviction as an un dercover manager and match maker, has been described in previous congressional testimony as the underworld czar ot boxing. Bonomi, a former New York, County assistant district attorney, conducted the investigation which led to his indictment. Another witness. ex-New York fight promoler William Rosen- sohn, bitterly acknowledged he evidently was used as a "front- man" by the underworld when he staged the first Floyd Patterson Ingemar Johansson heavyweight title fight last year. Holiday Bowl Foe Greeted In Florida Atllt,l In rinl tiM T...M AMERICAN BLENDED WHISKEY fmr ftator that's hearty, but never heavy PAUl JONIS DlSTIUING COMPANY, lOUIiVlUE, KY. 86 PROOF 7li CHAIN NEUT8AI SPIRITS ST. PETERSBURG. Fla. (UPI) Lenoir Rhync and Humboldt State College, which meet in the annual Holiday Bowl Saturday night, got Uicir first look at each other today. They will decide the official Na tional Association of Intercollegi ate Athletics (NAIA) title here after winning berths in playoff games last Saturday. Lenoir Rhyne. from Hickory, N.C, and Humboldt, from Eureka, Calif., are located some 3,000 miles apart and neither had laid eyes on the other until today.

Roscnsohn said Saler no later turned against him and pushed him out as a promoter. Need Federal Action Truman K. Gibson Jr., former president of the International Boxing Club and right-hand man to promoter James D. Norris, said Roscnsohn's story and other disclosures at the hearings' illus trated the need for federal action. Gibson also warned about the influence of television. He said the sponsors of televised fights sometimes had too much voice in the selection of boxers for a bout. Some good fighters couldn't get ahead in the sport, he said, because they had a low TV ap peal according to audience rat ings which the sponsors continual ly checked. drills. Coach Clarence (Stas) Stasavich of Lenoir Rhyne said he knew nothing about the Lumberjacks, except they were undefeated this season.
