HONOLULU STAR-BULLETIN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1959 fa A HAVANA, Jan. 8 (AP Fidel Castro's constituents are not the only ones bursting with pride in this Cuban metropolis today. Albie Pearson, a pint-sized ballplayer with a rifle arm, two swift feet and a sharp batting eye, had this to say about winning the 1958 American League Rook-le-of-the-Year award. "It's a mighty big thrill. There were some times during the season that I was a bit disappointed about my hitting.

But everything worked out fine. I still think there's room for improvement. A .300 season next year would suit me fine." Pearson, a .275 batter in '58, received 14 of 24 votes in balloting conducted by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Ryne Duren, New York Yankees' relief ace, collected seven and Cleveland righthander Gary Bell polled the other three. The results of the vote were announced yesterday.

Pearson, currently playing with Havana in the Cuban Winter League, is the first Washington Senators' player to win freshman honors. The 5-6, 160 pound outfielder was acquired from the Boston Red Sox a year ago in a three-man transaction. The 23-yearold native of West Covina, California, has been in organized ball for six years. He led the Texas League in batting with a .371 average with Oklahoma City in 1956. Duren won six games and lost four for the champion Yankees.

More striking was his 2.01 earned run average and his total of 19 games saved. A bespectacled righthander, Duren struck out 87 batters in 78 innings. Bell, brought up from San Diego after six weeks of the American League season had been completed, won 12 games and lost 10 for the Indians. Hockey Results NATIONAL LEASUI Chicago 4. New York 0.

8 (Ap) Cries of anguish echoed today at the University of Southern California, soundly spanked by the N.C.AA. for offering improper inducements to a pair of athletes. The two-year probationary period slapped on the university yesterday bans the Trojans from the Rose Bowl next New Year's Day and prevents them from defending N.C.AA titles in 7 ejK Bill Odeneal, member of the athletic faculty at Florida State University, here for a series of volleyball clinics, tells us there is a move afoot to organize a new intercollegiate conference in the southland. "Of course, it's only in the early talking stages," Odeneal reports, "but it stands a good chance of becoming a reality. "The proposal is to have a 16-team conference, divided into Eastern and Western conferences.

Norman Topping. Athletic Director Jess Hill commented in Cincinnati: "I am deeply disappointed in that certain new information and evidence came to the attention, of U.S.C. just Tuesday morning. We did not have an opportunity to investigate this information. "With this new evidence I feel we would have had time to take corrective and possibly punitive and disciplinary action." However, Hill said neither he nor the university denies the accusations.

"But we feel that different conclusions can be drawn from the evidence presented," he added. Track Coach Jess "I'm so disgusted. I have nothing to say." Then he added: "What can you say? I'm so sorry for the kids who had nothing to do with it it's rough on them, real rough it's hard to understand how they would penalize boys who had nothing to do with the situation boys who won the national championship last year." Swim Coach Peter Da-land: "We can continue to appear in the A.A.U. meet in place of the N.C.A.A. However, it's still quite a blow.

We figured to be in the top three in the national collegiates." Australian stars Jon Hendricks and Murray Rose were on the freshman team that won the Indoor A.A.U. title last year.

"Miami and Florida State, presently operating as inde- pendents, would be included BlN uaeneai in the Eastern division, along with University of Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Alabama, Auburn and Tennessee, all holding membership in the Southeastern loop. Western Division Lineup "The Western division would include Hardin-Simmons from the Border Conference, Arkansas from the Southwest, and Tulane, Louisiana State, Kentucky, Mississippi and Mississippi State from the Southeastern." The idea sounds pretty logical, especially in view of the racial problems confronting the southern schools. They are having difficulty in scheduling games with non-southern schools because of the restrictions on inter-racial athletic competition. Such a conference might provide' top-flight competition for such bowl games as the Orange and Sugar, with the divisional champions meeting in one, and the ninners-up in the other. 1 Incidentally, Odeneal, who serves as golf coach at Florida State and was the school's volleyball mentor until that sport was dropped from the program two years ago, was quite surprised to learn that Tom Nugent had resigned at the Florida school to accept a four-year contract as head football coach at University of Maryland.

Nugent was getting $13,000 a year at Florida State and was up for a $1,000 raise this year because of the team's 7-3 record last season. He signed for a reported $15,000 a year with the Terps. Florida State is coming along athletically. There's a lot of money behind the school, which 11 years ago was limited to women students. $150,000 in Football Scholarships "We get $150,000 for football scholarships," Odeneal revealed, "and about $5,000 for scholarships for each minor sport.

"We even gave full scholarships board, room and tuition for our better volleyball players." Florida State dropped volleyball as an intercollegiate sport because of scheduling difficulties. However, Odeneal thinks it will be back on the program in the near futue. He has visions of volleyball becoming a regular intercollegiate activity. "The game is growing rapidly," says Odeneal, who is an official of the National Volleyball Association. "It was on the Pan American Games program two years ago and it will be on the 1960 Olympic program.

"The day is not too far off when it will be played on a varsity basis in college. Michigan State is greatly interested in putting it on a high competitive basis.

However, a Trojan source admitted one was Ben Charles, a football quarterback from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, who will be a sophomore next season.

"No one is close to Big Daddy when it comes to tackling," Ewbank said yesterday after a wild and wooly passing drill. Ewbank said he once asked Lipscomb his secret for hauling down ball carriers. Big Daddy replied: "Coach, I just rush across the line, gather up all the players in sight and then peel 'em off one by one, until I get down to the guy who has the ball." Lipscomb has learned a lot since that summer day in 1953 when he broke into the National Football League with the Los Angeles Rams.

Philadelphia's Norm Van Brocklin, then with the Rams, summed up Big Daddy this way: "Big Daddy was the only trapable tackle in the N.F.L. and we had him. Anytime the opposition needed three or four yards on fourth down, they'd trap Big Daddy. A guard would mow him down and they'd have their first down. "Now," said the Dutchman, "you can't trap him, you can't move him, you can't do anything with him." Lispcomb entered pro ball without college experience.

He came from Miller High School, Detroit. Volleyball Court To Be Erected At Waikiki Beach A request to build a volley-ball court at Waikiki Beach has been granted by the Board of Public Parks and Recreation. An area adjacent to The Queen's Surf will be set aside for the court, according to Robert C. Minn, who along with William Cross and Dr. Richard You suggested building the court.

Minn said the expense of setting up the court and its maintenance will be borne by private groups. It will not, however, be a private monopoly, being open to the public without fee. The purpose and potential achievements as set down by Minn and his associates: 1 To fulfill the great need of many volleyball players by providing a place to practice for competition. 2 To promote volleyball as a sport and to bring players up to the standards of national competition.

DETROIT, Jan. 8 (AP Jerry Burns, builder of Iowa's speedy backfield may become the University of Detroit's new football coach perhaps before the week end. Burns, 32, a Michigan graduate, huddled for three and one-half hours with John Mulroy, vice-president for athletics at Detroit, and the Titans' six-man athletic board. "The possibilities interest me and I feel the Detroit job is a natural for me since I lived here, coached here, recruited here and am a Catholic," Burns said.

Burns said he wants to talk to Forest Evashevski, his boss at Iowa, in Cincinnati first. Burns was backfield coach at the University of Hawaii in 1951 when Archie Kodros was head coach and Ade Schwammel was line coach. He later sought the St. Louis High head coaching job but didn't get it. He's been at Iowa since 1954 and has been backfield coach for two years.

A halfback at Michigan, he played in the 1931 Rose Bowl game before coming here.
