Bing Crosby Tournament
Sets Underway Thursday
PEBBLE BEACH. Calif. (UPI
The world's greatest fun (our
nament, the $.10,000 Bing Crosby
National Pro-Amateur event, got
underway today on three golf
courses with the pack expected
to chase Arnold Palmer, and
Gary Player.
This is the tournament in which
all of the gate goes to charity
with Bing picking up the check
for expenses.
The professionals play for W5.
' 000 in the pro division and $15,000
..In the pro-am, and if one man
' ' should w in both sections he could
.' collect $8,300 for the four days
. of work.
While Palmer and Player, with
victories in (lie Los Angeles Open
and San Diego Open, respective
' ly. this year, are the advance
slars, the defending champion is
Doug Ford.
ford is paired with young Dick
Lolz, the California stale
leur champion, and even if he
fails to repeat in the pro divi
sion, lie lias a good chance in
the pro-am.
home ol the oilier pros pair
ings aren't quite as well-groomed
for a golf course. Ken Venturi,
for instance, draws comedian
signer Dean Martin. Jerry Bar
ber has Donald O'Connor; Na
tional Open champion Jack Nick-
laus has Bob Sterling and Cana
dian star George Knudscn has
Jim 'Mr. Magool Backus, the lit
tle old wine-maker.
The weather, perfect earlier In
the week, has switched and indi
cations are that it may be blus
tery, with possible rains.
But if it stays good." said Ed
Eurgol, the former National Open
champion, "we could have some!
hot scores. The courses are play
ing taster than 1 ve ever seen
them."
Palmer warmed up for the four
days of play by firing a good
five-under-par fi7 on ' Pebble
Beach Wednesday. Player had 68.
Venturi had a fie at Cypress
Point and Ted Makalcna of Hon
olulu had a 65, also at Cypress.
Palmer and Player never have
done well in this tournament in
the past. Palmer's best finish
was a tie for fourth place. Play
er has been farther down the list.
Tlie defending champions in the
pro-amateur department are
young pro Bob McCallister and
amateur Albie Pearson, the Los
Angeles Angels outfielder. How
ever, Pearson had a 10 handicap
last year, only five this time
around.
Alex ((arras (Goes On Carpet
To Explain His Football Bets
NEW YOHK (UPH - Star lac
kle Alex Karras of the Detroit
Lions may get his opportunity to
day to eplain a televised state
ment that he bet on at least one
pro football game to National
Football 1-eagiic Commissioner
Pete Mozcllc.
Itozellc refused to disclose
when Karras will actually be
called on the carpet but he
warned that "a serious breach of
league rules" may have taken
plate and reports were that he
will confront thp 245-pound play
er sometime today,
, "Alex Karras will lie given an
opportunity to explain published
statements attributed to him."
said Kozcllo. "Such action consti
tules a serious breach of thci
player contract and the constitu
tion and by-laws of the league.'
In Karras' interview with an
NBC television reporter, he was
asked: "Do you bet on ball
games?"
"I have bet on a ball game,"
answered Karras.
"Have you ever bet on a hall
game in which you were play
ing?" he was asked.
"Yes. I have." replied Karras.
Karras said he "assumed"
there was widespread betting on
NFL games hy coaches, manag
ers and owners but stoutly de
fended the inlegrily of the game
and insisted he never had seen
an indication of point-shaving.
"I know of none whatsoever in
this league." he said. "I think
the hoys plav too hard to be
shaving points.
"I can't even conceive that
idea because it isn't a sorl
wlieie it is an individual effort
answered Karras when asked if
. It were mssihle to shave wints
in NFL comvtilinn. "There's II
football plavers Iwth dclcnse and
offense and sure a qunrtprbai
has probably complete control of
Die hall game but so does the
referee, so does our best receiv
or, so does your best defensivei
tackle."
Karras also admitted some per-
so.u with whom he "associated"
in Detroit might be "in fact un-.
desirable" hut said his associa
lion w'lh them was in the casual
course of visiting a restaurant or
saying hello to them in his own
bar.

pic track star Parry O'Brien said
today he will come out of "re

so naturally the Eastern squad
upset Hie West. 115-108. in the
1.1th annual National Basketball
Association All-Star game.
"Russell just dominated the
game." moaned West coach Fred
Schaus of the Los Angeles Lak
ers.
Russell also dominated the most
valuable player voting, easily win
ning the award for the first time
in six all-star appearances.
The 6-foot-10 center, along with
some slick ball handling by Os
car Robertson of Cincinnati and
Bob Cousy of Boston, stunned the
West squad which opened the
game w ith what was hilled as Ihe
greatest offensive lineup of all
time.
The win. before a crowd of 14,-
8.18 at the Memorial Sports Arena
snapped a two-game Western
win streak and gave the hast a
9-4 edge in Ihe series.
The smaller, quicker Eastern
lineup harassed the West on de
fense and outran them on olfense
to quickly build up a 19-10 lead
with seven minutes gone in the
opening quarter.
Robertson led the ollensive at
tack before intermission, scoring
16 points in addition to giving the
East the spark he had given to
the West the past two years.
Even though Bob Petlit of St
Louis and the West was the high
scorer with 25 points, the West
never could get any resemblanccl
of an offense going. Midway in
the fourth period the East had
built up a 101-84 margin and
coach Red Auorbach figured Rus
sell could come out.
However, the West shot back
on buckets by Elgin Baylor, Jerry
esl and Don Ohl to cut the gap
to 102-93. Auerbach rushed Rus
sell in as fast as the scorer would
allow and the East had no trou-i
ble for the final four minutes.
Robertson topped the East in
scoring with 21.
Baylor tied Wilt Chamberlain at
17 points for runner up honors in
the West.

Coach Jim Partlow s first five
is a very good basketball team
but the resemblance stops there
after the first five. The Owl coach
inserted substitutes in the last two
minutes of the game when the
Owls had a comfortable 14-point
lead. And the substitutes all but
blew the game before Partlow
could get the first five, minus
Hewlett Nash, back into the game
the final 10 seconds. South
ern Oregon pumped in 13 points
while the subs could mark up
only two.
It didn't appear that the Owls
played much of a defensive game.
They allowed the Red Raiders
many too many easy lay-in shots.
But the Owls stayed well ahead
by scoring almost at will. They
could easily have passed the 100-
point mark had Partlow left the
regulars in.
The Owls got their best scoring

PRESCOTT TAKES DECISION

Unbeaten British heavyweight
Johnny Prcscott pounded out an
eight-round decision over Ulli Kil
ter Wednesday night to gain his
second victory over the German
in less than a year. It was the
19th success with two draws for
Prcscott in 21 fights.
but it is a scoring record be
tween the two schools. The Owls
connected on 40 of 86 shots for a
very fine 46.5 percentage while
SOC hit on 38 of 85 for an equally
fine 44.7 per cent.
Smith and Anderson put on a
show for the near-packed Owl
Gym. Smith turned in his finest
game by ripping the nets for 32
points while getting in plenty of
his clowning act. Anderson, who
leads tlie league, popped the nets
for 25 points and had the fans
buzzing about his jumping ability.
Both boys showed most of their
scoring from underneath the buck
et where a great portion of their
points came from tipping in shots.
But they were not the whole
show. Van Zitck had a so-so night
and still managed lo hit for 15
points and Norm Johns played
his steady role from the shadows
and got another 11 points. Only
Nash, who was plagued by fouls,
failed to hit in doubles and he
missed it by only two points.
Dave Hughes and Jerry Shults
did most of the scoring for the
Red Raiders although four were
in double figures. Shults hit for 2.1
points, mostly from outside jump
ers, and Hughes got 24 points,
many too many of them while all
alone under the basket. Brad Fla
nary had 11 and Larry Hink 10 for
Ihe losers.
It was no contest despite the
four-point margin at the final gun.
The Owls were ahead all the way
and the score was never even
tied. They built up a 10-point lead
at half. 44-34. and continued to
march through the remainder of
the game.
The Owls soared to a 19-point
lead late in the game, 91-72. and
was coasting when Partlow in
serted the subs.
Smith and Anderson completely
dominated the boards. Smith, the
top reboundcr. pulled down 23 and
Anderson hauled in 19 as they
got more between them than all
of Southern Oregon. The Owls
had 56 for the game while the
Red Raiders got only 27.
The two clubs meet again next
Wednesday night in Ashland. The
Owls are idle until then.
