The dullness of watch ing the Cougars substitute like a pro football team, first the offensive and then the defensive • .. In the “Looks Fishy to Us” department is the explanation from Oregon State officials how Dave Gambee, ace Rook ■ center for freshman Coach Paul Valenti, got eligible at the last minute for the Rooks’ two games last weekend after previously being declared ineligible. It seems that a pro- i fessor’s marking mistake was discovered in a class for which Gambee had been given an F for fall term. Anyway, the grade was changed to an incomplete on the day of the first Rook contest and the scholastic committee de clared him eligible for the game after the big Corvallis center had made up the work only hours before game time. C.ambee came in handy, getting 27 points in Saturday’s Rook win. Comment of the week:: Did Jim Loscutoff really say, ‘‘He needs a glass of water,” to Referee Al Lightner when WSC Center Al Kamps was lying on the floor after being injured in Tuesday’s game. Castellani Grabs 12-Round Victory CLEVELAND (AP) — Rocky Castellani Wednesday night won a unanimous decision over an unhappy Holly Mims who car ried his objections into the dress ing room and almost engaged the winner again. The victory virtually clinched Castellani another crack at Bobo Olson’s middleweight title. Mims, along with his manager, Nick Trottao, and his trainers started yelling in the dressing room that he had been butted during the fight and rubbed along the ropes. Castellani and his entourage took offense, and for a few brief moments it appeared the battle would begin again. But Castellani’s manager, A1 Naiman, blamed the fuss on “the heat of battle, and disappoint ment.” “Everything’s ironed out now, everybody’s happy,” he said. Last August, Castellani lost a 15-round title decision to Olson in San Francisco’s Cow Palace, flooring Olson once and going down once himself. A crowd of 5,348 saw Mims take the offensive in the early rounds, while Castellani cau tiously bided his time. The route of the li-round ring battle seemed to turn after the fourth round when Mims came out of a clinch, dabbing his glove at his right eye, as if something were in it. Castellani stepped up the pace in the sixth, flurrying and land ing several good blows. In the seventh he changed styles with the rushing Mims, wrestled the other man to the ropes and tumbled out of the ring with him. Referee Tony la Branche, trying tp help them, landed on top. After Mims was dumped in the eighth, it was Castellani all the way, although Mims landed hard punches in almost every round. Kentucky Holds Top Ranking In National Poll NEW YORK-(AP)-The Uni versity of Kentucky remained the nation’s No. 1 college basketball team recently in the- weekly As sociated Press poll, but rival Southeastern conference teams will have a chance in the next few weeks to knock the Wild cats from the top rung.
