Oscar Paces Cincinnati To Easy Victory United Press International Bad back and all, Oscar Robertson till is an All-America. The 6-foot-5 University of Cincinnati star, who led the nation’s major college scorers last season with a 35.1 per-game average, tossed in 45 points Thursday night despite a painful pulled muscle in his back to lead the Bearcats to an easy 38-67 victory over New York University. Hardly anyone in the crowd of 12.000 that turned out for the first college basketball program of the season at Madison Square Garden was aware of the fact, but Robertson almost didn’t play. And how he stood up under a severe battering by NYU’s more rugged rear guards even was a mystery to Cincinnati Coach George Smith. , “Up until just before the game started, I wasn’t sure if Oscar would be able to play,” Smith explained in the dressing room after the Bearcats had gained their second win in as many starts this season. “He pulled a muscle while working out in the afternoon, and from the way it was bothering him, we weren’t even going to let him leave the hotel.” Apply Ice Packs Ice packs were applied and Robertson insisted that he would fike “to give it a whirl.” Smith said, “so who was I to stop him?” And what a “whirl” he gave it. Oscar scored his team’s first eight points and wound up the first half with 16 to earn Cincinnati a 33-33 tie. Once the second half got underway, so did Robertson. Although he fell 11 points short of the Madison Square Garden record of 56, which he set himself against Seton Hall last season. Robertson managed to drive the NYU defense silly.

Baseball Club Owners Reject Money Demands WASHINGTON (UPD — Fed-up baseball owners wrapped up their annual meetings, today by banding together to give major and minor league players an abrupt, icy brush-off in their demands for more money. The blunt “flat no,” couched in no uncertain terms, threatened to create disharmony among major league players and precipitate a possible strike among disgruntled International Leaguers. Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick added what may have been the last straw when he announced that major league ownes had’ unanimously rejected a request for 20 per cent of the total take from all sources. FriCk said the vote by American and National League magnates was a "flat no” to the request by the players. The International League situation was fraught with much more seriousness because its players threaten to strike unless the owners set aside $257,000 for establishment of a pension plan. Issues Strong Warning “Let them do what they want.” said adamant Frank Shaugnessy, president of the circuit. “We’ll operate next year with or without them. We don’t like having a gun put at our backs.” J. Norman Lewis, attorney for the major league player representatives, warned the owners he would not give up his fight. “We are going to continue pur efforts to get an equitable share," he said, pointing out that player salaries and team salaries have dwindled from 44 per cent of the gross receipts to 17 per cent within a 13-year-period. James Durante, who represents the International League along with his law partner, Lewis, issued a much stronger warning. “The players have signed a resolution not to sign their contracts for 1959. not to report to spring training and not to participate in any International League, competition unless their demand is met,” Durante declared. Many Major Developments Player - owner hositilities overshadowed virtually all other matters during the sessions. There were, however, numerous other major developments: „ —Will Harridge resigned as American League, president (after 28 years and Joe Cronin of the Red Sox was prominently mentioned to succeed him. —The American Association expanded to 10 teams by adding Houston, Fort Worth and Dallas from the Texas League. This might be a forerunner of a possible expansion move to 10 teams by the National and American leagues, which plan to hire a private research organization to explore the possibility. —A liberalized draft was approved on a one-year trial basis and a plan by the Yankees to reinstitute another bonus rule was defeated. —The majors adopted a new trading rule which will permit interleague deals between N6v. 21 and Dec. 5 without the necessity of obtaining waivers. Frick saic he didn’t particularly like the idea “at first glance,” but addec he “could be sold on it” junior High Winner Thursday, 39-36 The Decatur junior high team defeated Maplewood, 39-36, at the Lincoln school gym in this city Thursday evening.' Decatur trailed at the first quarter. 7-3, and at the half, 21-16, but led at the third period, 26-25.
