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

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

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-

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

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

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.

Fight Came May Get Federal Control
WASHINGTON (UPD - Sen.!
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.
