Aaron Signs New Contract With Braves By UNITED PRESS Hammering Hank Aaron of Milwaukee, who was asking for a 100 per cent raise, happily settled for a 50 per cent one today that will pay him about $27,000 for swinging his big bat this year. A Thursday night telephone call from General Manager John Quinn in Milwaukee to Aaron at his home in Mobile, Ala., settled the whole business. Aaron, who led the National League in batting with a .328 mark last year and hit 26 home runs, had been seeking double the estimated SIB,OOO he received last season. Quinn had been negotiating with the 23-year-old outfielder over the phone two weeks. ‘Tip definitely not disapppointed.” Aaron said after his talk with Quinn. “How did I do? Fairly well. I wouldn't want to discuss the contract but I’m very happy about it. The Braves are a great bunch and I’m glad to be with them.” Spahn SUU Out Aaron’s acceptance of terms left southpaw Warren Spahn as the Braves' leading player still unsigned. The Cleveland Indians announced the signing of outfielders Dav? Pope and Bob Usher and pitcher Cal McLish. Pope hit .302 at Indianapolis, Usher .350 at San Diego and McLish had a 2-4 record with the Indians. Arnold Portocarrero Will get another chance this year with the Kansas City Athletics — and it probably will be his last. Portocarrero, who signed his contract with Kansas City along with pitcher Troy Herriage, had a 10-10 record last year with Birmingham of the Southern Association, where he was optioned by the Athletics. Herriage, a draft choice, had a 1-13 record with the Athletics the past season. Yanks Sign Two The Yankees announced the signing of catcher Darrell Johnson and pitcher Mark Freeman. Johnson, who played previously with the St. Louis Browns and Chicago White Sox, is regarded an excellent handler of pitchers and I batted .319 at Denver in the Amer* ican Association. Freeman, an ex-GI from Memphis, Tenn., went to spring training with the Yankees last season, ’then was sent to Denver where he won 10 games and lost 14. Shortstop Chico Fernandez ahd pitcher Bab DarneU agreed to terms with the Dodgers, leaving Sandy Amoros the only unsigned Brooklyn player. Fernandez batted .231 in 34 games for Brooklyn last season and Darnell had a 16-12 record with Portland of the Pacific Coast League. Amoros was offered a SI,OOO raise but Brooklyn officials say they haven't heard a word from him in Cuba, where he has been playing winter ball. • College Basketball Notre Dame 78, Portland 64.

Wake Forest Is Upset By South Carolina By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer Basketball’s hero today was jump-shooting Grady Wallace, who had a chance to pass both Chet (The Jet) Forte and Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain in the national scoring derby and passed it up. The six-foot, five-inch South Carolina star needed 39 points going into Thursday ni g h t’s game against Wake Forest to pass Columbia’s Forte and only 34 to pass runner-up Chamberlain of Kansas. He settled for 26 as South Carolina upset Wake Forest, 55-49, to end the Deacons’ seven-game winning streak. Wallace could have done it. At least, he had a good chance, for he already had notched 24 points with 10 minutes left in the gameBut South Carolina was out in front in the game at Columbia, S.C., and elected to play a slowdown game to preserve. its lead. Giving up his chance for the national acclaim that the No. 1 spot would have meant, Wallace took only one more shot in the game and that just three seconds before the final buzzer, tipping in a basket to make his final total for (he night 26 points. Has 29.4 Average Wallace, a 21-year-old junior from Mare Creek, Ky., who was the nation’s leading junior college scorer last year with Peinville. Ky., Junior College, thus saw his scoring average drop from 29.€ points per game to 29.4. He stays in third place behind Forte’s 30.1 and Chamberlain’s 29.8. The loss was only the second in the last 17 games for Wake Forest, the nation’s 15th-ranked team which hadn’t been beaten since bowing, to hational leader North Carolina. The Deacons, led by Jim Gilley’s 17 points, tallied only five baskets during the second half. - Gary Thomason, lowa State’s five-10 All-America candidate, also had a big night as he scored 31 points to pace the nation’s 10thranked team to a 92-71 victory over Drake. The win gave lowa State a 14-4 record. Another All-America candidate, Hot Rod Hundley of West Virginia, didn’t fare so well. Hoping to put on a good performance in Madison Square Garden, Hundley was held to eight points as West Virginia downed New York U., 83-77. Lloyd Sharrar took over the scoring role and took top honors with 26 points. ■ St. Johns Beats GW In other leading games Thursday night: St. John’s of New York squeaked to a 63-62 victory over George Washington on Duck Duckett’s two late free throws despite 32 points by the Colonials’ Gene Guarilia; Jack McCarthy’s 21 points led Notre Dame to a 78-64 victory over Portland; soph Dale Moore had 29 points and soph Larry Wood 24 to pace Eastern Kentucky to a 90-66 win over Toledo: Dartmouth drubbed Vermont, 8169; Pittsburgh edged Westminster (Pa.), 71-69; and Utah downed Montana, 84-70. The national spotlight swings tonight to the Pacific Coast Conference where co-leaders California and UCLA each will risk its perfect 6-0 league record. UCLA, the nation's No. 5 team, will visit Washington and 12th-ranked California visits Oregon State, each the first of a two-game series. Kentucky, the No. 3 team, will still lead the Southeast Conference even if it is upset by Mississippi Syracuse, ranked 17th, will play host to Holy Cross in a top independent game.

Southern Cal Names New Football Coach LOS ANGELES (UP)— Penaltyridden University of Southern California has turned to a member of its own staff to assume the role of head football coach after having vainly sought a name coach. The school Thursday night named line coach Don Clark, a member of the coaching staff for the past six years, as the replacement for Jess Hill, who takes over as athletic director next fall. The selection climaxed nearly a year of second guessing as to who would follow in the footsteps of Hill who gave the Pacific Coast Conference its only victory over the Big Ten in the Rose Bowl since die bowl pact began 10 years ago. Hill was at the helm' of the Trojans for five seasons and his team in 1952 defeated Wisconsin, 7-0, in the granddaddy ot fell bowl games. School officials announced 13 months ago that Hill would succeed retiring Willis O. (Bill) Hunter as athletic director in the fall of 1957. At first USC had a lot of potential takers for the coming football coach vacancy but the PCC later imposed stiff penalties against the school, resulting in a boycott by those who previously were eager to coach the always — -.... .. ........a. ;

powerful Trojans. The conference nearly ruined the Trojans’ football machine by not only barring the school from winning championships but taking a year’s eligibility away from all athletes for allegedly receiving “under the table” payments from alumni groups. Senior players last season only were allowed to play in five games and the juniors on last season’s roster completed their eligibility. Both USC and its crosstown rival, UCLA, were hit by the ruling. Both schools also threatened at one time to bolt the conference because of the penalties. But the NCAA backed the PCC and the Trojans and Bruins were forced to serve their sentence.
