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. I

Under Bruin Drive
'b i . !
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. The other con
tenders are Wyoming and Okla
homa City. I
The winner there will play In
the NCAA finals in. Seattle March
25 and 26.
