Oakland Wins B. Hill Sinks Last Minute Free Throw To Win Game; Eagles Take Third Place By GEORGE CASTILLO News-Review Sports Writer Oakland high school won the Douglas county "B" league tournament championship at Rjddle Friday night on Bob Hill's free throw after the final buzzer. The Oaks enVed Elkton. 41-40. This is how it came about. The two teams had traded baskets all through the final quarter. Then with 35 seconds to go in the same, Hill sank a field goal to put the nk ahead. 40-39. With 20 sec onds to go, Elkton's John Beckley went nn for a shot and was fouled He sank the first gift threw to tie up the game, and it looked like a sure overtime. Oakland came down the floor with the ball and Klkton fought desperately to re trieve It. The Elks failed to no tice Hill standing alone under the basket, but the Oaks D. Brownson didn't. He passed to Hill, who went up for the shot just as the game ended. -Elkton's Dave Scott tried desperately to slop him and fouled him In the process. Hill Wins Game That's when the drama started. Hill had the chance to win the game after it was over. The ca pacity crowd stood breathless as Hill stepped to the foul line .The first shot bounced harmlessly off IAT NlOHT'i TOl!RNET SCORES Oakland 41, Flkton 40. Yoncalla 47. Drain 43. Glendale 4, HlddH 41. the front rim to the mingled sighs and groans of the home sections. Vou could have heard a pin drop as he lofted the last shot. But in a moment pandemonium reigned. The hall went through without even touching the rim. It was a bitter blow to the Elks, who had held a halftime lead of eight points. They had fought an uphill battle after being unable to get one field goal in the first quar ter. Then in the second quarter, pave Scott, whose foul was instru mental In the final outcome, hit a 13-point hot streak to put his Elks ahead, 29-21. In the third quarter, they hit an other scoring drouth that allowed the Oaks to move up to within one point, 35-34. From then on it was anybody's game. Scott was high point man with 15 counters, followed closely by Hill with 14. Yoncalla Wins The Drain-Yoncalla battle for third place was another thriller as the Warriors came roaring up on the Egles in the waning min utes. Yoncalla held firm to edge the prc-tournament favorites, 47-43. As the final minutes ticked way, it appeared that the Yon- . calla five whs going to let another one slip through its fingers when the game should have been in the bag. On the fine board work and coring of center Gerald Rust, the Eagles havl built up a 29-18 halftime lead and were still ahead by nine points as the final quarter opened, 4334. Oddly, they made no effort to stall the ball or even try for set-ups. Instead, they started shooting wildly every time they got the ball. They didn't con nect for the first six minutes. By that time, Drain was within two points at 43-41. Waters sank a field goal with two minutes to go to move the Eagles to 45-41, but Duncan of Drain pulled his team up by countering wilh a field goal with 55 seconds to go. The War riors almost tied it up twice in those final seconds, but Jim Loyd yanked his Yoncalla team out of danger with a galloping lay-in with five seconds to go.

SURPRISING UPSET The Riverside Poo Wees pictured in the front row above posted startling, 12-11, upset over Benson Friday niaht in the second annual Grade School Basketball and Volleyball tournament at the high school gym. The Heavies in the back row didn t tar so well Ducks Huskies Win; Ducks Lose Beavers Win In Second Half As Webfoots Fold SEATTLE P1 The Univer sity of Washington Huskies won as I expected last night hut the Ore gon State College Beavers won as not expected. So today the Huskies sport a one-game lead going into the final games of the Northern Division Pacific Coast conference basket ball chase. The Huskies beat the defending champion Washinglon State college Cougars, 53-44 before 12.00(1 fans here last ni"ht, while O.S.C. was providing an upset before a home crowd at Corvallis by squeezing past the University of Oregon Webfoots, 41-39. Huskies and Wehfools had been tied for first place .before last night's games. Now the Huskies are a game in front and the worst they can come out with is a lie, should last night's results be re versed in tonight's rematches. Last night's W.S.C setback defi nitely eliminated the Cougars. Ducks Take Lead Oregon took over after a minute and a half and held a handy 24-1S lead before the Beavers slapped the shackles on Oregon's division scoring leader Bob Peterson and inched out in front at 36-35. After Peterson lied it wilh a free throw the Beavers' Dan Torrey canned a basket to put his club in front for good. Peterson, who had 181 points up to last night, gleaaed hut seven more to retain the division scoring lead by three points at 1R8, Wash ington's Bob Houhregs, who caged 19 against W.S.C. , moved up to second with 185. Washington's Frank (luisness is third with 177 after collecting 13 last night. Besides scoring trouble, Peter son had to he escorted to the dress ing room by his coach, John War ren. Five seconds before the game ended Peterson was banished for what referee Al I.ightner ruled a deliberate pushing foul on Jack Orr. The crowd booed and Peter son walked into the O.S.C. rooting section. Then Coach Warren took i over. Defensive Battle i At Seattle it was a light, de fensive contest the first half, which ended 29-25 for the Huskies. They edwd il up to 32 29 before launch ing a ld-point splurge in six min- opens at 8:30 .m. wilh a one-fall. 20-minute bout between Marshall Lewis, alias Lou Macera of Que bec, against Alex Kasaboski, the Hungarian. The one-hour, three-fall semi final will match Arne Skaaland, the increasingly popular Scandina vian from New York, against Jok Poppenheimer, the big Portland Duichman who has turned villain.

NCAA Adopts TV Controls Closer Supervision Of Arena Tilts Asked 5 By JERRY LISKA CHICAGO m The N.C.A.A. today had its guard up and a counter-punch cocked for violators of its football television ban. It also recommended tighter collegiate control of basketball at scandal plagued Madison Square Garden. In an important session yester day, the NCAA's policy-making council: 1. Said its March 20-22-24 eastern regional cage meet will be held as scheduled at Madison Square Garden, only because of contrac tual commitments, but that the show would be off next year with out "effective control, manage ment and supervision" by the N.C.A.A. 2. Threatened to expel any mem ber which deliberately televised football this fall beyond an ap proved realm of experimental controlled video. The council made it obvious that Madison Square Garden is out for the NCAA cage tourney at'tcf this year unless there is a "complete change" in tourney control. Campus Tilts Encouraged The council recommended that members hold their athletic com petition on their own campuses. If campus facilities are inadequate, non-campus arenas may be used if properly controlled by college sources. The National Invitational Tour-1 nament scheduled at the Garden! March 10-17 is beyond the juris diction of the NCAA which can dic tate tourney sites only for its own championships. TV Ban Adopted On the football video subject, the council acted to put teeth in the vote by the full NCAA convention at Dallas, Tex., last January to ban live gridiron television this fall. If a member "plans" to conduct television on an outlaw basis, it will be branded immediately as a member-not-in-gooU-standing, bar ring it from NCAA championship meets. If the violation actually takes place, Ihe council will recommend expulsion from membership (re quiring a two-thirds vote at t h e annual convention), subjecting it to a schedule boycott in all sports by NCAA members. Should a school be forced by state1 legislature to televise, the council will ask its withdrawal from NCAA membership, a pun ishment that would be loss of face more lhan anything else, since it still would be able to schedule NCAA members on a "sympa thetic" basis.. NCAA President Hugh C. Willett said that at present there was no indicalion any member would re volt against the television ban. Cre-wtl! SI. Mohawk tt. Triangle Lake 47. Lowell 38. McKeie 34.

The other hoop win was posted by the Puller ton Heavies over Benson. 18 9. Benson's girl volleyball aggrega-, tion won a shot at the champion ship by pasting Rose, 38-16. 1 A large house watched amazed as the Riverside Pee Wees, who had won only a single game in eight during the regular season, suddenly come to life. They out played the second place Benson squad in almost every depart ment with teamwork par excel lence. Although the Benson squad was faster and bigger, it couldn't match the spirit displayed by the winners. Rote Continues Unbeaten The Rose squads continued their unbeaten skeins this vear to nine games. Power plus was displayed by the winning Pee Wee five in its runaway victory over Fuller ton. The Heavies didn't have such an easy time against Riverside, however. The winners were hard pressed up to the final gun. Friday night's results deter mined the opponents for tonight's grand finale. The consolation playoffs get underway at 6 p.m. as Kullerlon fancies wilh Benson in the Pee Wee bracket. At 6:45. last night's losing Heavies from Riverside and Benson meet for consolation honors in that division. The two championship basketball encounters begin at 8.
