ConIey Reported
GOING to Red Sox

BOSTON, Feb. II (AP).-
Pitcher Gene Conley of the
Milwaukee Braves, wintering
as a professional basketball
player, is headed for the Red
SoX, according to the Boston
Herald.
The Herald quoted an Gin
formed baseball source" today
as saying the 6-foot-8 right
handler will be waived out OF
the National League by the
seven clubs which trailed the
Braves last season.
Conley, %, re-emphasized
Sunday that he plans to stick
with the Boston Celtics until
after the National Basketball
Association playoffs.
"Conley's transfer to the Red
Sox might put an end to any
uncertainty that is attached to
his status with the Celtics,' -
the Herald said. 1T would
seem to be only natural for
the Sox, as a goodwill gesture
to the Celts, to allow Conley to
finish the MIA playoffs."

Mississippi State Required
To Get Okoy for Journeys

JACKSON, Miss, Feb. IT
(AP). You'd think beating
defending champion Kentucky
would be enough. but if Mis-
sissippi State is to make its
first trip to the NCAA basket
ball tournament next month
it will need the consent of the
Legislature.
Once beaten Mississippi
State currently is second be-
hind unbeaten Auburn in the
Southeastern Conference
standings. A runnerup finish
to Auburn or a tie with the
Tigers would qualify Missis-
Sippi State for the leagues berth
in the national tournament,
since Auburn is on NCAA pro-
baton and can not play in
post-season championships.
However, the NCAA tourna-
ment will include some teams
with Negroes. While there is
no Mississippi law prohibiting
lnterracial athletics outside the
State, the Legislature has in
Dictated it would cut appropria-
tons for any school that takes
part in them.
Such a threat might make
Mississippi State stay home.
That would give Kentucky,
beaten by Vanderbilt and Mis-
sissippi State and third in con-
ference standings, a chance to
defend its NCAA title.
Gov. J P. Coleman said yes
terday that the Legislature

and travel to Washington Col

When American U. beat Bal

NEW YORK. Feb. II (AP) -
Roosevelt Raceway is bringing
the top trotting horses Of
France. Italy. Germany, Swe-

$4,000 purse August /.
The distance will be a mile
and a half and the race will be
known simply as the Interna-
tional.
Roosevelt Raceway. in an
nouncing the race yesterday.
said the track would pay all
the expenses of the horses,
their owners and trainers. in
a race that resembles the
Washington, D. c., Interna-
tional at Laurel In flavor.
The United States will have
an entry and eventually Roose-
welt hopes to bring over a Rus
sian trotter.
From France will come
Jamin, currently the best Euro
pean trotter. West Germany
will be represented by Rudolph
r. and Denmark is sending
Oscar the Great. Either Tor
nese or Icare w will represent
Italy, and Adept is coming
from Sweden. Hairos II is ex-
pected to represent Holland.
The Canadian and United
States horses will not be Sc
lected until June.
Il believe Jamin is the fastest
trotter in the world today" said
Col. F. Alden Gray, director of
racing at Roosevelt. He is &C
customed to doing his final
quarter in 20 seconds or even
better"
The 6-year-old French horse
is owned by Nine. Olry Roed-
erer of the Champaqut family
and in January won the Prix
d'Amerique in Paris. He will be
handled in the International by
Jean Riaud, 81. his trainer
driver.
The International, which will
open the 1859 meeting at Roos-
evelt, will be the first event
of its kind In harness racing.
The raceway emissions drawing
future competitors from all 16
nations where harness racing is
a sport.
Gray said that due to differ
ent conditions, including the
fact that the mobile starting
gate is rarely used in Europe.
times for European trotters tend
to run five seconds or so slower
than for Americans.

Mississippi State qualities for
the NCAA berth.
Il think it should be pointed
out" the Governor said, that
our institutions of higher learn
ing (are) under the sole and
exclusive control of a 12-man
board of trustees. -.
Therefore, the decision in
this matter will be up to the
president of Mississippi State
and the board of trustees.
However, in the final analy-
sis, these officials have to go to
the Legislature every two years
for the money to support the
institutions. 1t necessarily fol-
lows that if the NCAA problem
arises, the Legislature likewise
will have to be consulted.
