CoHocrs To Play St. Regis, Hotel Catholic Champion; Tin ee Other Contests Slated asketbaill' ToMraaffieimt Starts ii vuiliiiiiill UU By TOM LAWRIE DENVER, Colo., Dec. 8 (U.R) The Skyline Six pre-season basketball bas-ketball tournament, an early look at what may be the strongest strong-est cage loop in the country, gets under way tonight with the University Uni-versity of Wyoming Cowboys in the favored role. ' However, the Cowboys are not as strongly preferred as they were a few days ago because of the ; loss of Leonard Larson, smooth - working forward, for scholastic reasons. ' '-v , " l . . -" v, ' TALJL HOOP TALE -Refugee Nicholas Mohaczy was a more than welcomed student at Siena College, Loudonville, N. Y., where the six-foot . nine-inch native of Budapest enrolled as a pre-medical student. Quickly renamed Nick Casey by stu- dents. Coach Dan Cunha lost no time educating the tall Hungar-' Hungar-' ian in the ways of the hitherto . strange game of basketball. . ' Larson was forced to give up basketball in favor of his dental books. Coach Ev Shelton expressed ex-pressed hope that the senior would be able to return before the start of the regular Skyline Six season. National Catholic Champs Entered in the pre-season meet which runs through Saturday are Wyoming, Utah, Utah State, Denver, Den-ver, Brigham Young and Colorado A. and M., plus two guest teams, Regis and Colorado State. Regis is national Catholic invitational champion and runner-up to Ham-line Ham-line in the 1949 NAIB tourney. Colorado State is Rock Mountain conference champion. Of the eight teams. Regis probably prob-ably has the toughest row to hoe. The Rangers meet Brigham Young, believed by many observers ob-servers to be the team to beat in the conference race, at 9 p.m. The Cougars have a stack of veterans vet-erans back from a good team of last year. Should Regis get by Brigham Young, the Denver Jesuit school would be up against the winner of the Wyoming-Colorado A. and M'. game. Other first round games pit Utah against Colorado State and Denver against Utah State. Best-Balanced Loop The tourney will be played in Denver's magnificant new basketball bas-ketball arena. Seating capacity at the present time is 8,500, but at completion the arena will seat 14.000. Dick Romney, the Skyline Six's first athletic commissioner and former Utah State coach, said he believes the conference will be the best br lanced loop in the nation na-tion this year. He especially pointed to Utah's trouncing of the University of Southern California Cali-fornia last week. ' "Sam Barry, coach of the Tro jans, said he had his best USC team in many years. Yet Utah gave them a sound beating," Romney said. The tourney will have four games eoch day. Each team will play three games. Baseball Leaders Breathe Hew Life Into Bonus Rule BALTIMORE, Md., Dec. 8 (U.R) Despite the most vigorous opposition op-position the biggest leagues could muster, the controversial "bonus rule" seemed likely to get a new lease on life today in a close vote at the annual meeting of the minor baseball leagues. Apparently the votes of a majority ma-jority of the 59 leagues will overrule over-rule a motion to repeal the bonus rule regarding player contracts The major leagues and the three top minor leagues held out hope down to the last minute that they could line up enough strength to wipe the clause off the books. Allied with the majors were the American Association, the International league, and the Pacific Coast league. Big league club owners, like Bob Carpenter of the Philadelphia Phils. Branch Rickey of the' Brooklyn Dodgers, and George Weiss, general manager of the New York Yankees, sent out orders to their minor league farm teams to cast votes against the bonus rule. if-: : mm i'i i v 4 v.. &--.'-'V'.ir' rX q Layne To Fight Giant Negro Boxer SALT LAKE CITY.
