NAIA Tourney
Semifinals Set
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS j
Linfield, Pacific, Willamette and
Portland State made it into to
night's semifinals of the Oregon
NAIA Tip Off Basketball tourna
ment by gaining first-round vie-1
tories Thursday night.
But three of the wins were by
the narrowest of margins. Port-!
land State squeaked by Iwis and
Clark in action at the I -AC gym-1
nasium, 54-53. Loren Remy, a re- j
serve, sunk two free shots under
pressure in the last 45 seconds to
get the win. J
Portland State thus became the
only entry from the Oregon Col
legiate Conference to make it into
the second round.
On Point
But in action at Salem, Willam
ette of the Northwest Conference
barely held off Oregon Tech of
the OCC for a 55-54 edge. Willam
ette was the underdog, but the
Rearcats' little men. Junior Sato,
Dave Brock and Bob Woodle led
them to the narrow victory.
In the opening game 'at Salem.
Linfield skimmed by a scrappy
Oregon College of Education
team 61-59. It took a tip in basket
by Rick Turner with one minute
and five seconds left to get the
win over the underdog OCE
squad.
Pacific was the only squad that
had an easy time of it. The Bad
gers grabbed a big lead when
Eastern Oregon's offense stalled
in the second half and coasted to
a 69-51 victory over the mountain
eers, in the second game of the
night in Portland.
Bit Closer
The halftime score was a bit
closer, though, a 35 31 edge for
Pacific. ,
In semifinal action tonight. Lin
field plays Willamette at Salem
and TSC meets Pacific at Port
land. One Area Remains
For Deer Hunting i
They're all gone! With one ex
ception that is. This was the word
today from the Oregon Game Com
mission regarding permits and
tags for controlled big game sea
sons for 1961.
The one exception is the Crab
tree controlled deer hunt in Linn
county where a limited number ot
the S.S0O tags are still available.
These tags allow a hunter to ukc
a deer in addition to the one taken
on the general season deer ta2.
In answer to many inquiries re
garding permits for hunting in the
Troy elk area, the commission
pointed out that the deadline for
applications for these permits was
in August and the area was over
subscribed at that time. A draw
ing was held and the successful
applicants were issued 1hc:r tags
over two months ao. There are
no more elk permits available.

Fight Is Shaping
On AAU Power
WASHINGTON (AP) College
sports leaders have stepped up
their drive for more control over
amateur sports with a double bar
reled attack on the Amateur Ath
letic linion.
AAU officials, meeting here in
their annual convention, fired
back Thursday and there was
promise of more hostilities over
. the weekend.
Each side says the V. S. team
to the 14 Olympics will suffpr if
the other side wins.
Socking Federation
Don C a n h a m, University of
Michigan coach and executive
vice president of the National Col
legiate Track Coaches Associa
tion, said in Ann Arbor the track
coaches are seeking a federation
! to rule over track and field af
fairs, now governed solely by the
AAU.
Baskctbal' coaches already hava
made a similar proposition. Ther
I have scheduled their fifth meeting
with AAU officials Wednesday to
: discuss the controversy.
The National Collegiate Athletic
I Association, in a report released
in Kansas City, threatened a boy
cott of AAU events unless the col
leges are given more power over
amateur athictic events.
No Other Group
! "The AAU takes the position
that no other nreanization or sec-
! ment of amateur athletics shall he
accorded a significant place in de
termining amateur sports policies
in the United States or this na
tion's position nn international
Lsports questions," the NCAA re
iport sairi. "In other words, fV
AAU believes that this is its ex
clusive prerogative."
"They want either to destroy
the AAU or malve it so impotent
it can't operate." replied AAU
President N. J. Barark of Colum
