Interesting slant on next weekend' Washington California PCC
playoff at Seattle will )e the individual duel between the two Bobs,
Houbregs of the Huskies and McKeen of the Golden Bears. Ability of
each stirred up an argument
among conference coaches fecent
' ly. Southern Division mentors,
with the exception of Cal Coach
Nibs Price, picked McKeen over
Houbregs. The Northern Division
bosses stuck by the Husky hook
shot expert, and Slats Gill went so '
far as to clarion that Houbregs is
the greatest player he's seen in 25
years . . . Might add that Wash
ington patriots are deeply concern
ed over the "forthcoming playoffs,
for the Huskies have hit a slump in
the last couple ol weeks. In split- ,
ting their last two games at Idaho
the Washingtons didn't look to be
the flossy, potent club it had been
in its previous 20 outings. Perhaps
th Fririnv niirht lnw the onlv one -
in 16 league games for Washing- i
ton, will amount to just what Tip- y4" e,pln
py Dye's outfit needed to get it back on the main line . ... Speaking of
the ups and downs of the basketeers, Willamette's Bearcats didn't
pocket their fifth straight Northwest Conference championship this
year. But who can dare disagree that Johnny Lewis turned in by far
the best coaching job in the circuit? When the WUY started out back
in December their youth-and-inexperience band was indexed strictly
second division. Tet Lewis nursed it along and came.within eight min
utes of winning the 1953 .title. The Bearcats had Lewis & Clark's veteran-stocked
outfit on the ropes in the title game Saturday night, un
til the final eight minutes. It was the first time since Lewis came to
WU that he hasn't won or at least shared the loop championship. Yet
we'll betcha he got just as much joy and satisfaction out of this sea
son's" batch of youngsters as he did in any one tf his other campaigns.
Better not be picking any beefs with the- Tuesday night ringsider who
does all that cheering for Rassler Al Szasz at the Armory, for you're
apt to get a new hole in the head. She's Mrs. Szasz, whose profession
al name is Ada Ash, topnotch woman wrestler ... -
Finley Say Idaho Stater 'Pretty Good r
When asked what kind of outfit Idaho State has to toss against
Seattle U next week In their playoff to see which one lands In the
Corvallis NCAA tonrney. Idaho Vandals Coach Chock Finley opin
ed. They've got a pretty good team, one that will have to be
reckoned with." s
Finley wouldn't elaborate to the point of picking the winner.
But to get that much of a statement from him would indicate that the
Staters do have a capable club. Coach of the Idaho Staters Is Steve
Belko, onetime Idaho Vandals football and basketball star who up un
til a couple of seasons ago was Finley's assistant at the university . .
- What four teams will play at Corvallis? Here's the picture at
present: 1 Winner of the Washington-California PCC playoff. X
Winner of the Seattle U-Idaho State playoff. 3 Wyoming of the
Skyline Conference In all probability since Brigham Young has
tumbled from the top run in thai league and Ev Shelton's Cow
pokes are now all but in for the title. 4 Santa Clara to play win
ner of the tightly-contested Border Conference (Texas Tech, Arl
sona, etc.),1 and Bob Feerick's Broncs, who copped the Corvallls ...
tourney last March, will be favored over whoever does win it . . .
The rumor that certain factions have purchased large blocks of
tickets ior the Corvallis playoffs, with intentions of scalping same at
monstrous prices, is an absurdity. We-have this from Jim Barratt him
self, the OSC athletic business manager who is la charge of all ticket
sales for the tournament.
Scalping (If Any) Only on Minor Scale
Tve heard that some of the tickets are being scalped for as
much as $25 each alright,", says Jim. "But we anticipated the
heavy demand for tickets and were very cautious tn selling them.
No one bought enough to convince us that any large scale scalp
ing maneuver is going on. There may be some scalping, but if
there is I'm sure it will be only on a minor scale"
Should both Washington and Seattle U land in the tourney, mak
ing for the "game of games" the first night at 7:30 o'clock, we imagine
that a couple of ducats would be worth a right fancy fee in the Se
attle vicinity at that. V
But then anyone with scalping plans may be the gent who
gets clipped in the end at that. The Corvallis games ate to be tele
vised direct! to Seattle over KING TV both nights, and since
watching- basketball on TV is Just about as good as having a pavi
lion seat on the "50-yard line," the demand for. actual game tick
ets might not be so strong as figured.
No, Portland's KPTV will not carry the Corvallis games just the
Seattle KING-TV station. And the sponsor backing the telecasts fig
ures that more than one-million viewers will be looking on each night.
Incidentally, the NCAA cage games will amount to the very first
television to be piped directly out of Oregon. Worst part of it is, no
Oregon (KPTV) viewers get to see it ... . '

coming mayor of Tacoma, is well
known in these parts.
Stojack has held to the Coast

fact that Szasz is a first-cabin ma

take to spill a muscled gent of
Frank's caliber.
Szasz won the right to tangle
with the dynamic Stojack last
week when he copped the local 8

of his general know-how and
whip wrist locks against Stojack's

Marks Game
LOUISVILLE, Ky. W Several
players were bruised and cut Mon
day night in a fight that broke out
after the University of Louisville
handed Seton Hall its second
straight basketball defeat, 7347.
Harry Brooks, a Seton -Hall
guard, was taken to a hospital to
see if stitches would-be needed to
close a gashed lip.
Both squads were drawn into the
melee as two players from each
team exchanged words after the
game.
Both Brooks and Billy Sullivan
of Louisville were knocked down
but opinions differed on which was
struck first.
Several persons said a spectator
instead of a player hit Brooks aft
er Brooks swung on Chet Beam of
Louisville.
Coach Honey Russell of Seton
Hall said tempers were fired up
by "roughhousing" on the part of
Al Russak, substitute Louisville
center.
Coach Peck Hickman of Louis
ville blamed the trouble on Brooks.
"Brooks appears to me to be
come a little belligerent when his
team is losing," Hickman said.
"He takes a wise-guy attitude."
Russell countered that "the
roughousing started when Russak
came into the game."
Sullivan, who suffered a big
bump on the side of his head, said
Walt Dukes, Seton Hall's 6-11 All
America center, struck him. Sulli
van was taken to a hospital for
X-rays. -. .
Dukes was taken out of the game
with 57 seconds to play after he
fell and bumped his head. The in
jury was not serious, however. ,
