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.

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.

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

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

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.

the final period. 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.
