I The Statesman, Salem, Oregon, Tuesday. March 11. 1952 , . s i MS? Urxn looking over the entry list ette Relays for next month, one that even though he is leaving the will long remember Chet Stack house as the man who founded one of the supermost sports con claves of every spring in the Northwest. The WU Relays have in one year grown to such ex tremity and cannot help but re tain such caliber if handled prop erly. In case you have missed the early installations on the Relays, they are to lure almost 2,000 ath letes from 92 high schools ana 20 colleges. Therefore, the best in the entire Northwest will participate in McCulloch Stadium as Stack house's ingenuity parallels in quantity that which annually pro duces the major meets in Cali fcflrnia such as the Fresno and Compton Relays . . . The sale of Shortstop Dick Briskey by San Francisco's Seals to Memphis of the Southern Association drew a-tn -- r?3 dial ol anno -fmrxy Hugh Luby. generalissimo of the JOHN WOODEN town Senators. Luby had hopes that he might be able to secure the former Yakima shortpatcher, and was working on it. He couldn't match what the Seals got from Memphis for Briskey, however, and is now still in the market for a sure-fingered, hard-throwing lad who will occupy the extremely large vacancy left by Richie Myers . . . And speaking of shortstops who once wore the Senators spangles, Carl (Buddv) Peterson is being given a full-fledged shot at the spot with Lefty. O'Doul's Sandy Diego Padres. O'Doul likes Petersen's all out fire and hustle, items which in the past have been somewhat overshadowed by Pete's "bady boy'' pranks. The Portlander, a Jack Wilson find, can run. throw and field, and should hit all that a Coast League shortstop needs to hit. If he can ride herd on that temper and I go to bed when he's supposed to, he's right apt to make the grade this j trip ... One Man's All-District Tourney Star Team No one bothered to select an all-district tourney star team following: the recent 2-B playoffs at Willamette, which is just as well In that such all-star teams are unfair to the extent that they too often fail to list a really oustanding boy whose team is elimi nated in the first round of play. It would be much more appro priate were a star team to be selected as officially a "final night" project, with selectees taken from the four quints in action Sat urday night. Were we to pick a District 2-B team on that basis, it would in elude both Roy Christianson and Ron Ruef of Sublimity's cham- I pions, Duane Fournier and Otis Burchell of Valsetz' runners-up, Steve j Poe of Falls City and Roy Chase of Mill City. - ! Now all we need is a seven-man game in which the team could play ... j Someone once said, "You can never tell what'll happen In a basketball fame. And after what happened to both Salem's Viking and the Washington Huskies last night, you know full I well what the man meant. j Of course it doesn't happen often. But once in awhile the little j guy does reach up to plant a tell-tale blow on the big one. In these two instances the little guys were Joe Boyle's Stayton Eagles and John Wooden's UCLA Bruins. Salem does have a chance to even the count and trab the coveted state tourney berth in another clash with Stayton tonight. But Washing n's bubble is bursted, and the team that looked as if it might have enough to go all the way to the end of the NCAA line now finds itself second best for its own conference champion ship. Husky Loss Bloic to Corvallis IS'CAA Party The Husky loss cannot help but be a severe blow to Oregon State officials peddling the ducats for their NCAA party March 21-22, for UCLA won't be the gate attraction that Washington would have been. There will be hundreds, and perhaps thousands of Husky supporters who will now cancel their plans for a jaunt to Corvallis. There are also a good many more Seattle folk who are now sorry they made their ticket purchases when they did. " How did UCLA manage to lick John Wooden make with the words that could amount to the answer. Said Wooden the other day: "Washington has height, speed, reserve. In fact everything that makes up a great basketball team. While this is the best defensive club I've had at L'CLA, we'll need the advantage of our home court. "Some teams win at home because they play good ball. We win because we play at Westwood. We've improved a great deal since our series with Washington at the start of the season (Ed. note: Huskies won both games easily). We've played our best basketball the last two or three weeks, and we're in the best physical shape of the season." And so it went with the Huskies, who no doubt will long re member their visit to Westwood, the gym in which the Ukes just won't be licked.

The sinister and punishing Jap Ed Small Hits Winning Goal By AL LIGnTNER Statesman "ports Editor One of the most shocking sur prises of this or any other prep basketball season was delivered at the Vik Villa last night as the Stayton Eagles, refusing to yield to frightful odds, downed the Salem Vikings, 46-44, in the Dis trict 11 -A playoffs. The win by Coach Joe Boyle's Capitol Leaguers, gained in a split-second race with the final buzzer, necessitates another Stay-ton-Salem battle tonight at eight o'clock, this one to determine which team goes to the State Tournament. Guard Ed Small, with an able assist from Brother tlen Small, was the hero of the startling upset. It was Gene Small who was squared off with Salem's Chuck Bales for a jump ball in the Salem free throw circle with but two seconds left to play and the score tied at 44-all. Gene leaped high, batted the ball with a terrific wal lop toward the other end of the gym and Brother Ed took it in full stride. He dribbled twice and put up a lay-in basket that meant the ball game. The official time keeper ruled that the play was completed before time ran out. Crowd Takes Over Salem's Don McKenzie fouled Small after he let fly with the try for the basket, but the many Stay ton supporters rushed so pell-mell onto the floor to congratulate their favorites that Coach Joe Boyle and Small finally waived the gift toss. Even though this final free throw wasn't taken by Stayton, it was the Eagles' conversions of numerous Viking infractions that really fractured the Salems. Salem lost four stalwarts via the foul route, and Boss Harold Hauk's reserves weren't up to handling the fiery Eagles. The Vikings were ahead in the third quarter by 14 points, 40-26," but w atched the 'bulge melt away but quickly after Larry Paulus, Jack Bishop, Bob Hazel and Don Peper walked the five-foul plank in rapid succession. Guilty of taking things easy much too much for their own good, while their adversary fumed effort and determination through out, the Vikings learned a lesson. Their loss amounted to the very first one a Salem team has suf fered in these district playoffs at the Villa. Vikings Outplayed Outplaying Salern on the back boards, the Eagles trailed only 15-14 at the quarter after holding the lead three times during the first eight minutes. It was 25-19, and still plenty close, with Salem ahead at halftime. The Vikings pulled away in the third frame to lead 40-29 at its end, but the Salem players, minus their usual fire, were committing needless fouls all over the place and they began to take their toll. As the Salems fouled out the Eagles picked up more and more momentum against the Vik re serves. Stayton finally caught up, amid deafening bedlam by the gallery, at 42-42 on a basket by Darwin Fehlen with five minutes left to play. Chuck Bales immediately put the Viks back in front 44-42 with a 20-footer, but Ed Small came back with a free throw to cut the margin to one point. Gene Small later made it 44-44 with another gifter after Stayton had missed three other charity tosses. Larry Springer had two chances from the field in the final seconds before the tell-tale jump ball situ ation came up, but failed to hit either one. ! SU11 Fails Also The Vikings attempted to stall with their two-point lead near the end, but lost the ball twice to the Eagles through faulty ball handling. Both Small brothers along with the husky Fehlen and Tall Hall Titus played inspired ball through out for the underdogs, outhustling and outdriving the sagging Salems. Titus with 11 points and Fehlen with 10 led the Stayton scoring. Only Guard Don Peper was his natural self for the Salems, wind ing up with 13 points. Not a one of the other usually high-scoring Viks could crack the single digit figure. Salem hit 17 field goals in 59 shots for a .288 mark, and Stayton j had 13 for 45 and a .289 percent- j age. Stayton made good with 20 j out of 39 free throws, Salem being j whistled for 31 fouls in all, Salem; hit 10 free throws.

LaSalle upset fourth-seeded St. John's of Brooklyn, 51-45, while St. Bonaventure, third - seeded, squeezed out a 70-69 verdict over crippled Western Kentucky. But the SRO crowd of 18,310 reached the peak of frenzy in the final game when it attempted to cheer wee Johnny O'Brien and his Far West teammates to an upset triumph over the taller and obvi ously superior Eastern quintet. They saw O'Brien add to his season's honors, however, by set ting a tournament record for free throws, sinking 15 out of 18.

LOS ANGELES i(V-The under dog UCLA Bruins won the Pacifie Coast Conference basketball titl Monday night by- outracing" and outshooting the Washington Hus kies in a triumph; of youth over experience. The score was 60-50. After a tight first -half that ended in a 33-33 ' tie the Bruins surged back in the third period to go ahead by a dozen points. They hung on to it Until the end with a sensational game of keep-away. k The victory was an outstanding, if not the top, upset of Pacific Coast basketball this year. Wash ington came here with a 25-5 sea-' son record and : was heavily favored to turn back the UCLA challenge, as it did last year in Seattle. The Bruins had an unimpressive 19-10 season record but they dumped Washington in the first game of the series 65 to 53, made a belated rally that fell short as they dropped the second game 53 to 50, and Monday; night put on second half spurt that disorgan ized the veteran U.W. defense. Eon Livingston, sophomore, was the sparkplug of the Bruin attack. He scored 18 points and contrib uted a great exhibition of drib bling and driving in through the closely knit Husky defense. Coincident with the scoring rush by Livingston in the third quarter was the collapse of Washington's celebrated defense,' the tightest In the Northwest. The Huskies had the Bruins very well covered un der the basket but Livingston, a ' guard, succeeded in eluding the one and often two men assigned to guard him.- ; Big Bob Houbregs paced the Washington attack; with 14 points and played an outstanding game floorwise. Joe Cipriano also was a big factor in keeping the Huskies in the game through most of. the third quarter. In the last three minutes of the . fourth period Washington was pressing hard and all of its starters except Houbregs, the center, were ejected for personal fouls. By virtue of its win, UCLA be comes the PCC representative in the regional NCAA tournament at Corvallis, Ore., March 21 and 22. The Bruins meet Santa Clara in their first game.
