Happy Over
Surprise Find
Br Jack Hewiaj
SEATTLE, Jan. Jl-WVIf Track
Coach Bin Bowerman. of Oregon
was caught In the middle of the
desert with nothing but a spoon,
ft would tain soup.
For a man who lost one "f the
nation's greatest vaulting teams
by - graduation, Bow erman is
strangely content The reasons
are three all vaulters.
Bowerman swears he didn't
even know Russ Mannex and Pete
Charlton were on the Eugene
campus until they dropped into
his office and asked if they could
turn out for the pole vault.
He knew about Ray Packwood.
The kid from Kelso stopped off
"at Eugene last spring for the Hay
ward relays and won the Class B
vault championship. His top effort
In high school was 12 feet 10.
Mannex kit 12-9 as a prep at
Long Beach, Calif., and Chart -UB
reached 12-C Happy BUI
Bowerman has a doubt that
all three win be sneering at 13
feet In their first seasen.
His ' new triumvirate should
walk right into the spike tracks
f George Rasmussen. Don Pick
ns and Lloyd Hickock. who had
top efforts of 14-5, 13-8 and 13-4.
This trio which dominated north
.west vaulting for three seasons is
" Still around, studying for masters'
degrees in physical education, and
ach will take up the tutoring of
ne of the newcomers.
Where does this Bowerman buy
lis rabbits' feet?
Mannex Is ne f those net
nnusnaJ athletes who develop
mnseen in the shadow of a more
spectacular performer. The my
who threw the shadow on the
I.onf Beach boy was Bin Mc
Donald, who had a vault ceil
ing of 13-9 as a prep. Colleges
were served on a platter for
McDonald bat nobody seemed to
notice Mannex. j
His brother, Tom, graduated
from Oregon last June in biol
ogy. Tom was not an athlete but
talked his kid brother into taking
his talents to Eugene.
Jerry Mock, a San Diego sprint
er on Oregon's frosh team last
spring, went home for the sum
mer and convinced Charlton that
Oregon would be a fine school for
hjs dentistry ambitions.
Coaches who wrote Bowerman
off the vault list with a long-stored-up
sigh of relief can
sharpen their pencils and write
him back again.
Bowerman was lunehins one
recent high noon on soup, salad
and cuppa tea when a friend,
glancing at the skimpy meal, asked
Bill if he was trying to lose
weight. "Nope," quipped B.B,
this is my austerity diet. I'm
trying to prove to myself that I
can live on a coach's salary" . . .
Although the Kennedy kids live
In Seattle they attend Colorado
college at Colorado Springs and
will have to be imported home
for the defense of their national
skating crown in acouoleweeks . . .
Information we don't know
how you'd ret along without:
The world record for scoring
free throws with the left eye
closed la 42 straight: both eyes
shut, two-handed standing
a left foot only, 53 ... . This
apace ( ) denotes
lt-seeond pause In honor of poor
Ol' Jeffry Cravath. who lost his
Job as coach at CS.C. And now
has to slave at the race track
for pin money fifty dollars a
day . . .
When the referee and 1ud?ei
failed to show up for. a boxing
meet, coaches of Dayton and
Clarkston high schools took turns
refereeinff and held a consultation
at the end of each bout to decide
the winner . . . Thanks to Art
Lltchman for the Oregon stuff in
this blurb, Including this one about
couple of guys named Jim:
Jimmy Deangells told Jimmy
CDe) Aiken he thought George
snaw, all-around athlete of Grant
high in Portland, mieht eo to the
University of Washington. The
Oregon grid coach said that
wouldn't bother him too much.
with a lifted eyebrow, Deangelis
asked why.
"I've sworn that boy will go
out of this state only over my
dead body." Chuckled Jim. "and
If Washington gets him I won't
do aiive to worry about it"

Hoic Times Change
Wally Palm berg, considered
by many as the greatest hooper
this state ever produced, had his
peak year in 1936 when he broke
the Northern Division mark with
187 points in IS games for Ore
gon State. But the hoop sport
has changed much in style and
tempo since then, allowing for
such fantastic scoring as the 415
points Seattle TJs Johnny
O'Brien has chalked in 21 games
a 20 point average ....
Nice Mark for Stepper

Salem high wrestling crew, felt

'Cats Eye Position Swap
In Game Against Linfield
Lin field's runner-up spot in tho
Northwest conference will be the
priority target of tho Willamette
Bearcats when the two teams meet
here Tuesday night on the Metho
dist's court.
Johnny Lewis' quintet could
span the distance from fifth to
second in one easy lesson if that
lesson was handed the Linfield
team. However they'll have to beat
the lineup that made victory look
easy in tripping the conference
leading Lewis and Clarks Satur
day night at McMinnville.
With Bill Anderson leading the
way, Linfield jumped ' to a 12-0
start over the Pioneers in Satur
day's mix and Just wouldn't be
headed thereafter. The final score
was 63-42, a shocking 21 -point
margin for the McMinnville squad.
The Bearcats, more changeable
than the weather, still demonstrat
ed their 1951 inconsistency by
dropping a Friday night encounter
to Pacific, 49-48, and then came
back Saturday night to run the
Badgers into the floor for a 55-37
triumph.
Lewis found a couple of consist
ent scorers in Larry Smith and
Dan Montag for the home end of
the Pacific series and Ted Loder
contributed 13 points to bring his
two-night total to 36. ;
After the Linfield go Tuesday
night the Bearcats will keep their
play on an inter-squad basis while
they sharpen up for semester-end
examinations. It will be the final
game for Willamette until Febru
ary 7 when they host a traveling
Montana university five.

Courageous Guy
Some are worrying that a spot
marked "X" may have been
drawn for Junius Kellogg by
Gotham gambling mobs after the
Manhattan hoop star's courag
eous exposure of the bribe offer
made him. Kellogg had tho guts
to go to the DA, officials immed
lately nabbed the underlings and
seem well on the way to getting
the "brains" behind tho racket.
And in tiie meantime they doubt
less are taking precautions to
safeguard the lad who preferred
to play it square rather than take
a grand. ...
