(Hloinniinri) Search Ends For Prothro Replacement And ros Gets Beaver Job Ex-Heavy Champion In Unanimous Win NEW YORK (AP) Floyd Patterson survived a heavy body backfielders Cliff Watkins and Charlie Shaw, and eight of the eleven men who played on the defensive platoon under Prothro at the Rose Bowl. But Andros must rebuild the offensive unit, which loses seven of eleven starters. The 40-year-old Andros, married and the father of a By AL LIGHTNER Statesman Sports Editor Squat, personable, cigar-smoking Dee G. Andros, head coach at the University of Idaho the past three seasons, was Monday declared winner of the six-man race for the Oregon State football job left vacant by the January resignation of Tommy Prothro. The announcement was withheld by OSU athletic director Slats Gill until Monday morning, although the dec ion of the university's 11-member athletic board was reached Saturday.

Gill and Andros met at Portland Sunday for a final talk, and Gill early Monday reportedly presented the final result to Pres. Dr. James H. Jensen who quickly approved. No salary terms were announced, and Andros will work on a year-to-year contract.

When notified that he had been selected, Andros immediately called for a football squad meeting at Corvallis, at 4 p.m. Monday. He inherits a squad of 20 lettermen, including quarterback Paul Brothers and other 4 -t I I dA 7-year-old daughter Jeanna, and described as a "hard worker as well as great recruiter," won out over Ted Ogdahl of Willamette, OSU assistant Bob (Tiger) Zelinka, Los Angeles State head man Homer Beatty, of Michigan assistant Bob Hollway and of Illinois assistant Bill Taylor. All had been interviewed formally for the job. In making his announcement.

Gill said, "I know that Dee feels his selection is not merely to maintain our great program here, but to enhance it and make it even better. Every time we looked at an individual or group. Dee seemed to rise above the others. He's had fine experience under outstanding coaches. We are indeed fortunate that he is joining the Oregon State family." In his three seasons at Idaho, Andros posted an 11-16-1 record.

His 1963 season of 5-4 was the first winning campaign at Idaho in 38 years. (Cont. page 10, col. 1) mMmmk wlf rat1, Statesman, Salem, Feb. 2, '65 (Sec.

Perhaps none is any more important than that which is to take place at South Salem, where the resident Saxons take on the Corvallis Spartans. The Saxons stand at a crossroad with a 3-2 district record, and need a win over the 4-1 Spart The major league club owners, at their annual mid-winter meeting, also met with American Broadcasting Co.

President Tom Moore, who explained the procedure of the recently approved Saturday Game of the Week television program that will bring $300,000 a year to each of the 13 participating clubs. The National League disaster plan was adopted for the protec bombing by bully boy George giant step toward a third term whipping the husky Canadian on rounds before a standing rooml only crowd of 19,100 at Madison Square Garden. Patterson, fighting desperate ly in an attempt to erase the memory of two humiliating knockouts by Sonny Liston, pun ished Chuvalo with his quick punches to the head but couldn't bring him down. The sturdy Chuvalo, a body puncher with a tom-tom beat, kept slamming away at the ex-champion's spare ribs all through the furiously waged fight. Judge Joe Armstrong scored it 8-4, judge Tony Castellano 7-5 and referee Zach Clayton 6-5-1, all for the 30-year-old Patterson.

The AP card had Patterson on top 9-2-1. 8 "I'd like a title shot at Cassius Clay, fight Sonny Liston again and then retire," Patterson said in the ring at the finish. In the background Clay, who was doing the closed circuit TV commentary, was shouting, "You've got the title shot Floyd, you've earned it." Patterson took such a congra tulatory pummelling from Clay at the conclusion that the other video announcer, Don Dunphy, asked him if he hadn't had a tougher time with Cassius than Chuvalo. A quick ringside poll of news men covering the bout showed a 9-0 shutout in favor of Patter son who was fighting to avoid fistic oblivion. It was a dramatic victory for the often-bitter Patterson who had not fought in the Garden since 1956.

After the decision was announced, Floyd blew kisses to the huge mob that had chanted "Let's go Floyd" through the hottest action. Time after time Patterson raked Chuvalo's head with crashing left hooks and leaping right hand punches, but Chuvalo kept moving ever onward. The Canadian banged away at the body constantly, seldom bother ing to go to the head. When he did land on Patterson's jaw, he found none of the china that had tinkled in so many previous fights. Floyd said he had trained spo-(Cont.

Commissioner Walter Kenne dy of the National Basketball Association assessed the fines after receiving official reports on the game from the referees. He telegraphed both coaches, giving them the usual 15 days to pay the fines. Had Heated Words The two had exchanged a few heated words Saturday as the Celtics beat the Knicks 97-90 in New York.

They continued during Boston's 123-95 victory Sunday. Auerbach drew two technical fouls during the game for uncomplimentary remarks about the officiating of Joe Gushue and Barney Madden. The second was called after Boston's Bill Russell had drawn his sixth personal foul. Auerbach became so angry that officials ejected him from the game but not before Gallatin had walked out onto the playing floor and both had made gestures as if inviting each other to fight. They were restrained by police and players.

Chuvalo of Toronto and moved a as heavyweight champion by a unanimous decision in 12 Floyd Now-Wants Shot At Cassius NEW YORK (AP) "I proved I was no china closet showed them I could take a punch," former heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson said exultantly Monday night after his rousing unanimous 12-round victory over Canadian George Chuvalo. Beads of sweat dripping from his dark body and so weary ha could hardly stand, the 30-year-old two-time titleholder, coming back from boxing's graveyard, talked softly of his future plans in the sweaty, madhouse dressing room at Madison Square Garden. "I think I proved I deserve a shot at Cassius Clay," he said, puffing between words.

"As all boxers feel, I believe I can win back the heavyweight championship." Praised Chuvalo Patterson had nothing but the highest praise for his beaten opponent saying almost poetically: "I think my opponent gained more in defeat than I did in victory. He was a tough, stubborn man. It was like trying to fell an oak tree. "But I proved one thing to my satisfaction and, I hope, to the satisfaction of all those sports writers who have been critical of me. "I proved I could take a punch and come back fighting." Wants Winner Patterson said if the projected return title fight between champion Cassius Clay and Sonny Liston comes off, he would have to have another fight himself before meeting the winner.

"In that case, I think I should fight Chuvalo again," he added. "He deserves another The former champion, only man twice to win and lose the sport's most coveted title, said Chuvalo hurt him several time3 during the wild, slugging melee that had a sellout crowd of 100 on its collective feet and in yelling bedlam. "He hurt me in the stomach- and he hurt me on the chin, but had trained so well I was able take it," the ex-champ proudly. "That, to me, was the greatest satisfaction of the fight." Chuvalo: Ref Hurt Me NEW YORK (AP) "Every time I started to get going, the referee would break us up. He just wouldn't let me fight my fight." That was a disconsolate George Chuvalo, claiming he had more trouble Monday night with referee Zach Clayton than with Floyd Patterson in his losing 12-rounder against the fonder world heavyweight champir on.

"That's the way I fight, inside," said the Canadian champion, his handsome face bruised and cut. "But every time I'd get set to throw a hook inside, the referee would step in. "I'll fight Patterson again anytime but with a different referee." DAlAfCD UftUCD Sharpening and Winter Servicing 3 Have It Done Now At Winter Rates!

The price was not disclosed.

The Lakers placed rookie Cotton Nash on waivers to make room for McGill. McGill, 6 feet 9 and 220 pounds, has been playing minor league basketball for the Grand Rapids, club in the North American League. Nash, 22, a 6-foot 6 former Kentucky star, has not furnished the reserve shooting strength the Lakers need, a club spokesman said. McGill, 25, was a first-round draft choice by the old Chicago Zephyrs, now the Baltimore Bullets, in 1962. He was traded to the New York Knickerbockers in 1963, and then to the St.

Louis Hawks, where he played the early part of this season before being placed on waivers. (JSC Raps Rainbows LOS ANGELES (AP) After a sluggish start Southern Calif ornia barreled past the touring Univtrsity of Hawaii Rainbows to score an easy 85-51 victory Monday night. The Rainbows led through the first 10 minutes of the game be fore Bill Westphal sent the Trojans ahead 17-15. By halftime, Southern California led 36-22. Westphal paced Trojan scor ing with 18 points, while John Bleck had 14.

And we re told the final deci- sion was a tough one for the athletic board and director Gill We'd like to think that Ted Ogdahl was being deeply considered as one of the finalists too, and we're sure he was. But we're both sorry and happy for Ogdahl. We've long believed Ted richly deserves a shot at the big time, and the Oregon State job was a natural for him. Lots of other folks figured it that way too. But in view of the OSU schedule the next couple of seasons, and the pressure encountered by most if not all 'major league" football coaches, perhaps it's just as well Ted didn't make it.

Dallas is 0-6. The McMinnville Grizzlies, tied with West Linn at 5-1 for the TYV lead, tonight play at Forest Grove (3-2). Silverton's Wilco League clash is with Sandy at Silverton, and looms a tossup since both have 4-4 loop records.

Parkrose at 8-0 and Molalla at 7-1 lead the Wilco derby at present. Dayton's Pirates put their perfect Yawama League record of 7-0 on the line at Sherwood, which has a 3-4 mark. Second place Nestucca (7-1) has the night off in league activity. But other Yawama clashes have Salem Academy (3-4) at Amity (4-3), Willa-mina (2-5) at Philomath (3-4) and Sheridan (1-6) at Yamhill (2-5). There are no league games in the Major Division of the Marion where St.

Paul holds the lead at 4-1, and is being closely chased by Jefferson, Regis and Siletz, all with 3-2. The St. Pauls have a non-league game tonight with MacLaren at Woodburn. Falls City's upset at the hands of Oregon School for Deaf last week tightened up the Minor Division of the Marion even though it didn't knock Falls City from the lead with a 5-1 mark. In tonight's round, Valsetz (0-5) is at Falls City, Perrydale (4-2) is here at the Deaf School (2-4) and Detroit (2-4) is at Eddyville (4-1).

Melvin Quits At of Toledo TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) Eddie Melvin, head basketball coach at the University of Toledo since 1954, resigned unexpectedly today, effective at the end of the current season next month. The 45-year-old Melvin cited the "pressures he has undergone as head coach" as the reason for his resignation following a conference with university officials. Melvin, who starred in basketball at Duquesne University in the late 1930s, said he was undecided about his future plans. York Yankees by the Columbia Broadcasting Co. last November prompted investigation by the American League of possible dual stock ownership.

It was learned that several American League owners have substantial interests in CBS Among them are Arthur Allyn of the Chicago White Sox and Joseph Iglehart of the Baltimore Orioles. Iglehart, who is said to own 40,000 shares of CBS recently resigned as a member of the CBS board. Conflict Determined "First it must be determined what constitutes conflict of in terest," said Joe president of the American League. "We have appointed a committee to review the rule in our constitution which deals with conflict of interests. This committee has been empowered to investigate and report back to the league its findings sometime during spring training.

At that time it will be determined what action will be taken and-or what changes in the rule might be necessary." The "conflict of interests" rule hasn't been reviewed, Cronin said, "since 1927 when the St. Louis Cardinals traded Rogers Hornsby to the New York Giants. Complications arose when it was discovered that Hornsby owned stock in the Cardinals. Tom Yawkey of Boston, James Johnston of Washington Cont. naoe 10, co'.

Giants vice president Chub Feeney, in announcing the swap, said no money was involved. Bailey, soon to turn 34, will report to spring training camp at Casa Grande, to get in shape with his old teammates and O'Dell will go immediately to the Braves' training camp, Feeney said. Bailey will be rejoining the team he served on three years. He was a member of the Giants when they won the National League pennant in 1962 and was traded to Milwaukee before the 1964 season in exchange for pitchers Bob Hendley and Bob Shaw. He was catcher in the 1964 All-Star game.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) One of college football's most celebrated coaches and one of the coach's most celebrated players were among seven men whose names were enrolled in the National Football Hall of Fame Monday. The coach is Carl Snavely, whose 26-year major college coaching career at Bucknell, North Carolina and Cornell produced 147 victories, 77 defeats and 16 ties. The player is Dr. Jerome (Brud) a two-time All-America end at Cornell when Sn-vJy was head coach.

Other new Hall of Tamers announced by Chet LaRoche, president of the National Foot Seven There's a lot to be said about such things as security. The popular, capable Ogdahl has it here. He wouldn't have had it at Corvallis However, it is disappointing to his supporters that Ted didn't get the opportunity to try. His skill and competency just might have surprised even his few critics. What might have turned the tide Andros' way was his Oklahoma background rather than his so-so record at Idaho.

Having played under Bud Wilkinson seems to be a big thing for coaching prestige, and particularly so since such men of the mentoring ranks as Darrell Royal (Texas), Jack Mitchell (Kansas), Jim Owens (Washington) and Bert Clark (Washington State) hold that distinction. Andros at one time or another played on the same Wilkinson teams with those men Zelinka: 'We'll See What Develops' Then there is Zelinka too. It was only fair and just to believe that after serving 10 seasons under Prothro, and being soundly recommended for the job by Prothro, the Tiger man would be given his reward the head job, even though he had no Oklahoma background Will Zelinka now rejoin Prothro at UCLA? No. Prothro's staff is reportedly filled up. But the Tiger man is still interested in coaching, at the right level We talked with Zelinka Monday, and asked about his plans.

"I'll just see what develops," he offered without hesitation. "If something comes up that looks god, and has a future in it, I'll be interested. I'd prefer to remain in Oregon, because I like it here. But if nothing worthwhile comes up, I'll go into business. They picked a fine man in Dee, and he's (Cont.

Covers Replacement The program will cover any club which loses seven or more players and provide for replacements supplies by the other clubs in the league. It will be financed by a $2.5 million insurance policy, the cost of which will be pro-rated among the 10 National League teams. The NL disaster plan is similar to one adopted by the American League in 1954.

Only the replacement list and the cost of replacements differ. Under the NL plan, each of the nine other clubs will present a list of 12 players from which the affected club may select enough men to replace those lost. No more than two players may be selected from each list a maximum of 18. $100,000 Each The purchase price set for the players selected was $100,000 each, to be paid from the proceeds of the insurance. The American League plan requires only a six-man list at a cost of $75,000 per player.
