110 Portland Observer, December 14.1963 PHIL’S Sport Talk Cyclery S« k »I945 by Hon Sykes, Sports Editor SCHWINN ets. • The Beavers were hit with the news that the three couldn't play only hours before they were to meet tiny Arkansas State in the opening game o f the Amana Hawkeye Invi tational. The Beavers made it to the finals before losing by nine to the host Iowa Hawkeyes. In the wake o f this adversity M il ler found some gems, in frosh sensa tion Rick Berry and walkon guard Darrin Houston, a second-year man out o f the W indy City. Berry, the son of San Jose State Coach Bill Berry, is going to be a great player in the Pac-10. But, then, that comes as no surprise be cause the way to San Jose was trav elled by many college coaches as they beat a path to this young man's door. Housgon. by contrast, was a find. Darrin was highly touted be fore receiving a career threatening knee injury that scared away most recruiters. He enrolled on his own at South Dakota J.C. After a year there he again packed his bags and headed for Corvallis, where he had to sit out another year. Through it all the Chi-m an has emerged as a player. He impressed Ralph so much that he was given a scholar ship after his first full week o f prac tice. W hat Ralph did to his friend «■>■«< And if he chooses he could opt for Houston and send Woodside to the pines. Then m e ng Sitton to the middle as he did ae last two years. That would allow Berry to take the wing a la Danny Evans o f a few years past. A ll in all Beaver fans are in for a delightful year. Oregon State, the n ation'! 15th. 17th, or 19th ranked team, depend ing on which poll you’re iccing. turned in a sterling performance last Saturday in defeating Iowa's fifth ranked Hawkeyes. In a game played in Corvallis, Coach Ralph M iller showed all those watching why he has amassed some 579 victories ever 32 years o f coaching. M iller has always been a winner, and under adverse conditions this year he's proving why. The N C A A , after a lengthy inves tigation, slapped a six-game penalty on three players M iller was counting heavily on. Starter A C. Green and Darryl Flowers along with top re serve Tyrone M iller were penalized for selling their complementary tick M O TO CR O SSPA RIS ACCESSO M S Rf PAIRS O N A l l M AK IS 2 8 1 -4 0 3 6 toi n a sao *D »»t t i r orata No, TW LI.H Caawr 1 A n d the King is back, long live T h a m any facaa o f Sugar Ray Leonard: "T h e K ing' S atu rd ay th a t he's b ack in th a fig h t. George in Corvallis last Saturday was truly fantastic. M iller did as fine a job of coaching and using the clock as one will ever see at the col legiate level. The Beavers played as near perfect a game as could be ex pected. Only twice did Houston and Berry make glaring mistakes, and each time they heard from M iller. T hat’s Ralph's way. Oregon State basketball with Ralph M iller is played at a high level. And as a result will attract high caliber players. M iller's success rate at OSU is dramatic. In the last four seasons Ralph has never posted less than twenty wins. Among the winningest active major college coaches in the U .S ........ Ralph ranks third behind DePaul's Ray Meyer and Washington's M arv Harsh- man. It should be mentioned that both o f these coaches have 41 and 38 years coaching experience, re spectively. Sports Highlights an n ou n cad M iller beat Raveling with a lineup o f Steve Woodside at Center, C har lie Sitton and Berry at forwards. Houston and Alan T ail at guard. So w hat’s going to happen when Green and Flowers return? W ho ’s going to the bench? The current starters have all played well so far. W ill Ralph not break up a winning combination? For sure, A .C . Green and Flowers will play. Sitton is a fu ture at either center or forward. Flowers proved as as freshman that he’s in the scheme. As well as T ail and Woodside performed last week it will be hard to vision either one as starter. Ralph has more than a few line-up options at his disposal, all of which are good. He could go with Woodside in the middle with the bookends Green and Sitton on the sides, with Flowers and Berry out front. W hich would be very strong. Berry at 6-7, can do all the things a good point guard is expected to do. the K ing. . . . Sugar Ray Leonard announced to the world last Saturday that " I'v e returned," and notified champions in four weight classes that he's taking over. Leonard, 27, would like to clean up the welterweight, his division, before going for the heav ier fighters such as M arvin Hagler and Tom m y Hearns. Ray has his sights set on M ilton M cC rory, the W B A welterweight champ first, then on to Donald C urry, 22, the W B C champion. A ll these champs are talking smack. Curry says he'd like to take on Leonard first; M c Crory's manager is saying Ray has been away too long to beat his fight er; Hagler's manager is saying M a r vin is too strong for Leonard, but in reality they're all hoping for the big payday that only Sugar Ray can bring. In the end and the bottom line is "none can w in .” W hat is it that drives a man like Leonard? W hy does a man with all his wealth need to risk permanent injuiry to his eye? T o answer these questions one should realize that Leonard, as all champions, is o f a different breed. I mean the man surely walks to the beat of a different drum m er------ It's the challenge that drives Su gar Ray, just as it did Charles Lind bergh as he took on a mission that others couldn't understand. And it's that same drive that made that little engine keep saying "Yes I can, yes 1 ca n ." Challenges o f all kinds have been met by man from the begin ning. These challenges will continue to be met as long as mankind exists. Sugar Ray has met his challenge by returning to com bat.. .now all that is left is to see who wins. u uunon Ir if t im CURL SALE Curl Regular $65.00 NOW $40.0 0 (includes Cut, Curl, Conditioner and Style) i Cellophane Heir Color Regular •T O *"-^ 00 NOW $10.00 Hair Cuts Regular $15.OO-$2O.OO NOW $10.0 0 butch H a ir D e s ig n F o r M e n & W o m e n 1 4 1 0 N .E .
