AAU Ruling I On Net Star Is Confusing By JOHN BARRINGTON (I.N.S. Sports Editor) NEW YORK (INS) —The AAU rides again! Joe Holup of (George Washington university, who apparently doesn’t know his way aronnd as wall off a basketball court as on one, has been declared “ineligible" for Saturday’s college East-West game fbr a supposedly feminine failing — inability to make up his mind. Holup was purged from the Madison Square Garden classic by the Metropolitan AAU of New York — and replaced by John McCarthy of Canisius — because he first accepted an Olympic tryout berth but later decided to go on tour against the Harlem Globetrotters. The collegians who oppose the 'Trotters get paid, naturally, which makes them professionals. The Trotters don't actually sign their men to contracts until after the East-West game, but the AAU holds that, when Holup’s enlistment was publicised, he automatically became ineligible for amateur competition. It is all covered in the rules, but what Holup actually seems to have done is to have moved into a sort of limbo. He isnT a full-fledged pro yet, either, because national A I A‘U secretary Dan Ferfis explains that, should Joe change his mind again and not sign a Globetrotter contract, he could be reinstated as ter a year’s suspension. The difference beween this and the celebrated Wes Santee case, Ferris says, is that Santee immediately professionalized himself by accepting more money than the expense budget allowed. Holup hasn’t actually felt the green stuU yet, although he can smell it. This rather strips “amateurism” down to what a lot of us *have suspected it was all along —’ a state of mind. And it seems to leave several questions unanswered. For instance: 1. If the Globey publicity contaminated Holup, why are Darrell Floyd of Furman, Sihugo Green of Duquesne, Tom Henisohn of Holy Cross and Julius McCoy of Michigan State — all scheduled to oppose the Harlemites, too — still East-West eligibles? 2. If Holup can't play as an ama teur InjNew York, how did he into the lineup ,iq another all-sWr game -— jugnuttion at Kansas City last Monday night? 3. If other runners would have jeopardized their Olympic standing by competing against Santee in those court-protected miles, what about Olympic basketball hopefuls who play with and against the Globetrotters-to-be ?

After all, International Olympic committee president Avery Brundage has riimpeted that mere willingness to turn pro is tantamount to becoming a pro. Maybe the fine line drawn by Ferris between the Santee and Helup cases answers that, or maybe it has to do with the fact that the East-West game is an "exhibition” and not really a “competition.” But if it’s only an exhibition, why does it matter if Holup’s an ajnateur or almost-pro? Now, wait a minute. . That’s right back where we started this rat race. . .Aw, the heck with it. . 115 Are Eligible For Derby Trial LOUISVILLE, Ky. (INS)—Rap; ing officials at Louisville’s Churcnill Downs announced today that 115 of this year’s 169 Kentucky Derle candidates will be eligible for the 19th running of the Derby trial. 4 The Derby trial, a one-mile race, has served as a tuneup for the run for the roses since 1938. = Only two horses — Hail Gail in 1952 and Dark Star In 1953 — have won the trial and gone on to win the Kentucky Derby.

Andrews Entertains Sectional Champions True “Tabby” Andrews, for the fourth consecutive year, will hold his annual chicken dinner party at his home north of Decatur tonight for the Monmouth high school basketball squad, the high school principal, the coaches and student managers.

Nats Even Playoff Series Wednesday SYRACUSE, N. Y. (INS) — The Syracuse Nationals and the Philadelphia Warriors will clash in the deciding game of the semi-final playoffs in the eastern division of the National Basketball Association tonight in Philadelphia. The Nationals fought off a blistering Philadelphia rally Wednesday night for a 108-104 triumph over the Warriors to even the best-of-five game series at two wins each.

Bantam Ben Hogan Out Os Retirement NEW YORK (INS) — Bantam Ben Hogan is out of retirement and ready to represent the U.S. in the international trophy and Canada Cup golf matches in England. Now preparing for his “comeback” in the Masters next week at Augusta. Ga., the 43-year-old, fourtime national champion Wednesday accepted an invitation to compete in the June 24-28 matches at the Wentworth club in Surrey with two-man teams from 28 nations, including Russia. Hogan said he wasn’t sure if he will play in the British often at Liverpool, July 2-6. The Fort Worth, Tex., golf master won this open with a course record 282 in 1953 and the British golf fans have been begging him to return. Hogan also entered the Colonial national invitation Wednesday. He won this one, set for May 2-6 at Fort Worth, in 1946, ’47, '52 and ’53. His next big goal after the Masters will be an unprecedented fifth title in the U. S. open at Rochester in mid-June.

Porterfield Stars As Red Sox Win By International News Service Bob Porterfield has another reason for wanting to pitch the Boston Red Sox to the American League pennant. He wants to make his old boss, Charlie Dressen, eat his hat. * Cholly put the rap on his old righthander Wednesday for “saying I didn’t use Jii% right last ytar” with the Washington Senawas iff*a pitcher’s park last year,” said Dressen, once the pride of Flatbush. “Let’s see what he does this year in Boston.” • Porterfield’s not in Boston yet but he’s doing all right by the Red Sox in spring training. The 31-year-old fast-baller has compiled a sparkling 1.50 earned run average for four games to date. Wednesday he gave up but three hits in his six innings to lead Boston to a 7-to-2 victory over Kansas City at Sarasota. ’ Bob Turley, on the other hand, ran his ERA to 6.30 (giving 29 hits in 20 innings) as the Senators attacked the Yankee fast-baller for eight safeties and six runs in six innings. The deciding blow was Herb Flews fifth-inning homerun. Mickey Mantle will be out today with an injured hamstring muscle in the right leg. He aggravated the injury which kept him out of the starting lineup in the World Series when he slid into second base in the fourth inning. A pinch grand-slam homer by Stu Locklin and a two-run homer by Al Rosen marked Cleveland’s 8-to-7 victory over the Chicago Cubs at Mesa. Milwaukee jumped Billy Pierce for four runs in the first inning to coast to a 7-to-4 decision over the Chicago White Sox at Bradenton.

The Detroit Tigers belted Philadelphia, 15 to 5, at Clearwater with the aid of 13 hits, 13 walks and five Phillies errors. Buddy Hicks, with only four hits in 35 previous appearances, slammed a homer and five singles in six times at bat for the Tigers. Frank Thomas’ two-out, basesloaded single drove In two runs in the fifth inning for a 5-to-2 Pittsburgh victory over Brooklyn at Fort Myers. The Bucs also pulled a triple play in the sixth. The New York Giants edged Baltimore, 6 to 5, at Scottsdale with Wayni Terwilliger collecting a double and two singles and Willie Mays and Dusty Rhodes slapping homeruns. Smokey Burgess’ homerun went down the drain at Tampa as St. Louis exploded fdr seven runs in the eighth and a 13-to-4 victory over Cincinnati. Lt Col. Higgs Is Air Guard Officer INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Lt. Col. Richard E. Higgs, of Indian napolis, has been named executive officer of the Indiana air national guard 122nd fighter Interceptor wfng at Baer Field In Fort Wayne. Higgs has been director of personnel for the wing. He will be succeeded in that post by Lt. Col. John C. Earl, of Indianapolis.

Boxing Probe Is Continued In California LOS ANGELES (INS) — A ring probe that has rocked west coast boxing to its heels swings the spotlight back today to its central figure, ponderous “Babe" McCoy, matchmaker at the Los Angeles Olympic auditorium. McCoy has been ill since his appearance last Friday, but it was indicated that he is sufficiently recovered to show again before the governor's committee that is dipping deep into the operations of boxing and wrestling. The 300-pound matchmaker, ruler of a boxing empire over which he has reigned, some say like a czar, for 12 years, faces a grilling about the testimony of others who have described him as an associate of gangsters, a fight fixer, an undercover fight manager and. a general string-puller in the boxing world. Los Angeles’ chief of police William H. Parker linked McCoy, in testimony Wednesday, to gangster Mickey Cohen. At the same session, heavyweight fighter Harry Wills testified that he took a “dive” in two fights, although neither McCoy nor other California fight figures were involved in the alleged “fixes.*' The committee's investigator, T. Elton Billings, Introduced a series of cancelled checks in an attempt to prove that McCoy was Carlos Chavez’s undercover manager while the fighter was supposed to be acting as his own manager. The two “dives” Wills testified to, boosted to 14 the number of alleged fixed fights the committee has been told about since it opened its probe last week. Carlos Chavez denied that he was a “business” fighter, that is, one who engaged in fixed matches, but admitted that he took a “dive” on his own account, fn a bout with
