. that we. mean they like to run, run
games in San Francisco in December, and although at; that time they
didn't appear to be the equal of either Stanford or Southern CaL they
did impress all with their speed. Since then the Ukes have apparently
woven that speed with the fact that the "experts', didn't know what
they were mumbling about with all that Stanford and USC talk, and
out of it all come north as titlists. . ' .... ' . : t
Winning the Southern Division championship came right off the
bat for t?-e Bruin coach John Wooden. Youll recall that the UCLA's
hired him last spring after Slats Gill nixed an .offer. Wooden is truly
one of the all-time playing greats, as he made the AHAmerica three
consecutive years, 1930-31-32, while playing for) Purdue. He led the
Boilermakers to the national title in 1932 and was captain of the team
two years, 31-32. The Bruins got him from Indiana State Teachers
college. This is his "unlucky 13th year of coaching.
UcLarney Not a Very Lucky Gent, ...
Speaking of coaches and being unlucky, consider f Art - McLamey
at Washington. After copping the Northern Division title in '47, Art
finished on the bottom this time. There was some satisfaction in
winding up a dismal year with two wins over Washington State, but
the sunshine faded but quickly when Sammy White, a lot mora bas
ketball player than his record would show for 194S, decided to turn
ErofessionaL White had more eligibility for the Huskies, both in bas
etball and baseball. But the lure ef pro gold in those two sports was
-too much, and McLarney loses him. Seattle absorbs White's immediate
baseball future, as a catcher, and the Washington Capitols, for whom
former .Husky and White teammate Jack Nichols is doing so well, take
him on for his pay-for-play basketballing. Nichols also could have
played at Huskyville this year, but went for the $ $ $. McLarney is
now no doubt wondering just what is this stuff called justice . . .
NCAA Cage Playoffs Note Clearer :
Remember little Joe Pete, the Chemawa Indian kid who was a
wow as a featherweight in local amateur ranks three or four years
back? Well, he's just returned from a two-year hitch in the army, has
looked up both Manny Morrell and George Masters, who handle some
ef the local pugilists, and figures hell start getting In shape for a
. comeback. Joe is now 20 years old and says he's a bit overweight at
135 pounds. He still wants to wait in the featherweight class, will
rn pro and will likely operate under the guidance 0f MorreU and
Masters ... A peek at the NCAA basketball playoffs setup as of right
now looks like this: In the East by districts Ysle In Nov 1, Columbia.
Villanova or LaSalle n No. 2, Kentucky in No. S end Illinois in No. 4.
' They battle it out at New York soon and by then the No. 2 picture

St, Louis twice), Baylor most likely in No. 6, Wyoming in No. 7 in

Preps Tangle
With Vik Team
By Al LLthtner
Mt. Angers Preps cracked a
first-half slump to tally 14 points
in the third quarter last night, and
went on to defeat Woodburn's
fast-pedesting Bulldogs 41-27; thus
eliminating the Woodburns from
the District 11 basketball race. It
was the second tourney loss for
Coach Marshall Barbour's wee but
fighting crew, the other having
been delivered by the Preps ear
lier. The Mt. Angel victory, hard
earned most of the way as the
Bulldogs refused to yield to a size
advantage the Preps held, pushed
Coach Gene Barrett's band into a
Wednesday night game with Sa
lem. The Preps lost to Salem 50
39 last week in the double elimi
nation conclave. Another Salem
win Wednesday sends the Vikings
to the state tourney. A win by
Mt Angel on the other hand
would necessitate a third game,
Friday night.
Woodburn got off to a 6-1 lead
last night, but stayed ahead only
7-5 at the quarter stop as Big
Norb Wellman, six-foot three
inch Angel center struck up a hot
scoring streak. Nabbing rebounds
and following up with tip-in shots
mostly, Wellman kept up his surge
in the second period and person
ally escorted the Preps to a 15-13
ha If time lead. Wellman had 12
points for the half.
Wellman got sufficient help
from teammates Larry Traeger,
Francis Donley and Jim Nosack in
the third frame to pull ahead 29
22. Although they drove hard and
scrapped like demons, the Bull
dogs could pick sup only nine
points.
The Preps built their lead to 11
points, at 33-22, early in the fourth
quarter and stayed comfortably
ahead through this rock-'em sock
em period, a rouser all the way
as both sides checked hard and
close, and uncorked determined
drives at te baskets. Wellman
wound up with 17 points for high
honors. Dale Yuranek, only one
of Barbour's fleet of mighty mites,
came in with 11 to lead the Bull
dogs.

Joe's Titlist
PATERSON, N. J, March 7-;P)-
The National k Boxing association
agreed to recognize the winner of
a heavyweight fight i promoted by
Joe Louis as the world's champ-
Ion to avoid "an endless and point
less scramble, commissioner Abe
J. Greene said today1.
Louis has matched luczara
Charles and Jersey Joe Walcott in
June, with the winner taking on
Lee Savold or Gus Lesnevich
within three months.!
The NBA's blessing of Louis'
promotion didn't, however, head
off a scramble. Within a few
hours, a variety of promoters had

Multi-MiUion
Action Slated
NEW YORK, March 7 -JPh- A
group of major league . players
suspended for jumping to the
Mexican league will file multi
millton dollar suits tomorrow
against organized baseball, John
L. Flynn, attorney, said.
Flynn maped his legal strategy
in a highly secretive conference
tonight wpith Max Lanier and
Fred Martin, former St . Louis
Cardinal pitchers who are mem
bers of the banished list.
Lanier, now a resident of St
Petersburg, Fla .flew in by plane
late today. Martin arrived earlier
from his home in Oklahoma.
Flynn refused to give any de
tails of the projected suits other
than to say they would ask more
than $5,000,000 in damages and
would be "something sensation
al." .1
"We cant afford to tip ourj
band," remarked the lawyer, a
big. pleasant Irishman.
. He intimated the suits would
follow the form of the Danny Gar
della case, still pending in the
courts, but would have a more
far-reaching effect s
Gardella. former! New York
Giant outfielder, sued baseball
leaders for $300,0000, charging the
game is a monopoly and in viola
tion of the anti-trust laws. He said
the suspension deprived him of a
livelihood. I
The case, after first' being dis
missed by Federal Judge Henry
W. Goddard, was given a lift last
month by the U. S. court of ap
peals, which directed it should be
heard. ...
The suit challenges the reserve
clause, the legal backbone of 'the
national game under which a play
er is bound to one club for life un
less he. is sold, traded or released.
Flynn declined to say . how many
men would be involved in the
