Top Quintets Tangle Tonight In Corvallis By JACK HEWINS CORVALLIS, Ore. I Dogged by a persistent tournament jinx, Coach John Woo "en of U.C.L.A. planned Friday to move Sophomore Mike Hibler into his starting line up in the place of injured Don Bragg for Friday night's game with Santa Clara in the regional N.C.A.A. basketball playoffs. Oklahoma City, which got Its first glimpse of the sleek Gill Coli seum floor Friday morning, will meet the deadcye Wyoming Cow boys in the second game at 9:15 p.m. The opener starts at 7:30 p.m. Friday night's victors will tan gle Saturday for a berth in the na tional finals Tuesday and Wednes day at Seattle. U.C.L.A. Santa Clara and Who- ming all took workouts at the coli seum Thursday. Oklahoma City stormed off in Portland to work out and came on to Corvallis Friday for a warmup drill. Ev. Shelton'i Cowboys put on the heaviest practice session here, scrimmaging about an hour, but without scorers or referee. San ta Clara took a "casual shooting drill. Wooden's Bruins turned on the speed in the practice, but did Dot scrimmage. In a Portland workout the Okla homa City Chieftains used Coast reierees 10 lammarize inemseives with Far West officiating. The jinx has come around to haunt Wooden in post-season play offs regularly. Time and again he has piloted his teams on the Coast Conference Southern Division crown, only to have something hap pen to a key player. This year it's Don Bragg who caught the frown of the jinx. The freshman forward Injured his foot during practice after the club had whipped Washington for the conference title. Whether nis loss will upset the smoothly oper ating Uclans remains to be seen. Another freshman, John Moore of Gary, Ind., will switch from his starting job at forward to take over Bragg's position. Hibler will step into the center slot. Bragg is with the team, and took a limping work out, but probably will not play. Officials at Oregon State College the host school, anticipated a crowd of 7,500, for opening night and close to capacity turnout of 10, 000 for the Saturday night wind-up. 6 The Newt-Review, Roieburg, Ore. Fri., War. 21, 1952 Three Top Matches Billed At Armory Arena Saturday It's going to be hard on fans, referee and ring apparatus when Leo Wallick and Soldat Gorky clash in the main mat battle in the Armory Saturdy night. This is the third time the steel- Frenchy Roy sinewed villians of the ring have tangled, and it may revert to a waterfront brawl before the win ner has been announced. Each man has won a bout, but Wallick has a slight edge because he kayoed Gorky for ten minutes in one of the struggles. But the shiny domed Russian has vowed that he will even the score. Despite his threat, Wallick is. sued a bit of sound advice for benefit of the wolfman. He said if Soldat wanted to stick around aft er he (Wallick) applied a pile-driver, he had better get a mattress for a toupee. This will be Walllck's first ap pearance in the Northwest since he went east some time ago. Roy Wrestles Hie Pacific Coast light heavy weight champion, Frenchy Roy, will again be featured. This week he tangles with the other Gorky- Ivan, the faster of the brothers. But Ivan will have to come into the ring jet-charged if he meets the blistering pace ol the champ usually sets. Yet Gorky says he will twist Rov in knots and then demand a title bout. A couple of cool, scientific grap plers will wrestle in the opener. They are Danno McDonald and Bill Melby, who two weeks ago held Roy to a draw. Melby uses an abdominal stretch and McDonald relies on a spinning toe hold and drop kicks. Tickets are on sale at Powell's. Bowling Meets Slated Locally The two big Roseburg bowling tournaments are scheduled within the next two weeks at the Rose burg Alleys.

Halbrook Sets Another Mark In Tournament Hockey Scores By The Associated Press Saskatoon t Seattle t Browns Reveal Strength In Game By The Associated Pros Marty Marion, deposed manager of the St. Louis Cardinals and cur rent shortstop of the St. Louis Browns, could he a big help to Rogers Hornsby's gang of young sters. Not that any one is taking the Brownies seriously this year. But with a fellow like Marion around to direct the infield and pitchers like Ned Carver, Bob Cain, Tom Byrne and Gene Beardon, they could finish out of the American League cellar. Marion went two for three In Thursday's game which the Na tional League Champion New York Giants won, 4-3, in 10 innings. Rookie Gilbert was the star for the Giants.

PINE PHONE 3-6567 EUGENE Ul Three tall Port land teams and a short crew from Eastern Oregon moved into the semi-finals at the Oregon Class A High School basketball tournament Friday. Record crowds were on hand to see record - breaking Wade "Swede" Halbrook of Lincoln and the other Portlanders dominate the tournament as Portland teams never have before. It comes as no surprise to the 40,000 who have watched the tour nament so far. Central Catholic, Cleveland and Lincoln the Port land entrants in the semi-finals ranked 1-2-3 In that order in the final Associated Press poll in the state. The lone outsider is La Grande, the No. 7 team, which reached the semi-finals by bumping Milwaukie, the No. 9 team Wednesday, and then trampling unranked Univer sity High of Eugene Thursday night, 54-37. Big Chore Ahead To the short La Grande entry the only player above 6 feet is Forward Morris Buckwaltcr, 6-2 falls the task of trying to stop Lincoln's Halbrook. The 7-foot-l-inch Halbrook crack ed the tournament scoring record again Thursday night in what is for him routine fashion. This time he got 41 points in leading Lincoln to a 68-53 win over Bend. That topped his tourney record of 40, established the pre vious night, and gave him 950 points for the season. Easily within his grasp now are 1,000 points for the season plus a - T -Jf H fit?

I 'V4 Ttlevhotol FIRST FLOORING Rugged Tommy Collins (right) becomes the first fighter ever to knock Sandy Saddler off his feet as the featherweight champion heads for the deck in the first round of their scheduled 10-rounder at Boston. Saddler came back to win in the fifth round when be knocked Collins out of the ring in a daze. which ended in a 22-22 tie. In the final half, however, the 8 foot 4 Bob Altcnhofen, twice an All-State selection, won for Central Catholic. He scored when they needed points, and almost by himself turned back a last-minute bid by Marshfield. He wound up with 24 points. Bend came through with some sensational shooting to lead Lin tourney record exceeding the 125 !cln ln first quarter and stay points he scored here last year. He has 81 in two games, and has two games remaining. Hold Slight Edge Cleveland meets Central Catholic In the other semi-final game. Cleveland nosed out Hillsboro Thursday, 49-48, and Central Catho lic defeated Marshfield, 55-45. The forthcoming Central - Cleve land tussle has the fans buzzing. It is expected to produce the best basketball of the tournament so far, and there was plenty of it Thursday. The late afternoon games were the highlight with both Hillsboro and Marshfield giving the Port landers fits. ' Cleveland had a slight edge over Hillsboro In the first half, but Hills boro came back fighting and with 1:52 minutes to go seized the lead, 46-45. Jack VIskov, 6-J forward for Cleveland, scored to give the ! Portlanders a 47-46 edge with lVi I minutes remaining, and Cleveland was able to stall out the rest of the : way, its floor leader, Jerry Ross '. adding I final field goal just at the end. I Marshfield kept up with Central Catholic, too, in the first half, 1 two rounds Thursday of the North west District Olympic wrestling tri als. Six of the 36 entered saw no ac tion the first day. Eight Washm1; from Portland's Multnomah Athlet ic Club were still in the running, ton State College men and seven Three from Whidbey Island Navy Base and one from McChord Air Force Base survived. Commercial Kegling Race Grows Tighter The raee was still tighter than I drumhead in the Commercial Rowl ing League Thursday night at the Roseburg Alleys. Seven teams were within five points of the top as a result of series last night. Swartz Clothing of Sutherlin whitewashed the Yon calla Lions to keep the lead, and the Sutherlin bowlers needed every point of it. Four other front run ners also swept series and points. Chrystalite Tile and Co. D held fast in the runnerup spot on sweeps over Lockwood Motors and Nyberg Lumber, respectively. The fourth spot was tied by Ford and Houck and Todd Building and Con struction. And sixth was also a tie. Ford and Houek's 2.890 team series was the high for the night, largely on the work of Fred Aamot who bowled three over-200 games. His first was a 215. He followed it with the top individual game of 237 and finished off the evening with an even 200. The total was good for the top individual series also, a scorching 652. Ford and Houck also had the high series game of 1,046. COMMERCIAL LEAGUE Swartz Clothing Chrystalite Tile Co.

Then Halbrook, who was missing more shots than usual in the first three quarters, regained his accuracy. He dropped in shots repeatedly thereafter, and when he retired 2:25 minutes from the end his team was ahead, 66-46. Lincoln, properly, is not a tall team. It has lour guards and Hal brook. But all by himself Halbrook makes the team seem tall. For example, he grabbed 32 rebounds j against Bend, only two less than uie entire Bend team. 25 Wrestlers Survive Olympic Elimination PULLMAN, Wash.
