2-S& 2-SHtmn, Salem, Oregon, Wtd., March 9, 1955 College Comments . . By TOM YATES If there are any wizards among our readers they had a great chance to clean up last week betting that Pacific University, College of Idaho and Gonzaga would all sit out the. current NA1A tourney in Kansas City. Pacific's removal from contention was plainly 'a case of underestimating the potential of the Portland State Vikings, while C of I's downfall was abetted by having to play on the home floor of their district finals' rival, Montana State. BotL the MSC and Vik wins could be attributed to the quirks of single elimination playoffs, though we don't-care to think that about the Portlanders. However, the Whitworth elimination of Gonzaga'a Bulldogs has no immediate explanation since it occurred in a two out of three-game series. The Whits were Evergreen Conference champs, but figured to have little chance to dump the 'Zags twice, especially considering that the Pi rates had dropped two regular season games to their crosstown rivals ... Whitworth had the Northwest's top scorer early in the year in 6-10 Phil Jordan, but the bi lad encountered some sort of difficulty and dropped out of school. Local fans can recall Jordan's visit to Salem as a freshman with the Pirate squad when Jim McGreggor, . the talent hunter, was mentor for the Spokane school. McGreggor is now coach of Italy's national team. Coach Sharkey Nelson has installed a frightful defensive system at Portland State that combines features of the rone and man-to-man much to the confusion of PSC foes. Against Pacific the Viks had a four man zone working with Paul Poetsch, captain and guard for the Oregon Collegiate Conferer.ce champs, dogging Norm (Hawk) Hu bert's every step. With three starters standing 6-4 and a fourth at 6-6 the zone quartet had little trouble stopping any attempt by the Badgers to make a real offensive threat, and Poetsch meanwhile made life miserable for the Hawk who totaled but 16 points lor tne game, far off his recent fornvthat had set 30-per-game as a working average ... Seattle, Gonzaga EyeBig-Time Foes It's been announced that Al Brightman at Seattle University and Gonzaga's Hank Anderson are collaborating to bring in tome big time eastern basketball teams next winter to play the Chieftains and Bulldogs. The plan calls for each visitor to play three games in the NW in a four-day period, making two show ings in Seattle and one in Spokane or vice versa ... Portland University isn't presently included in the "big team" importa tion plan since the Pilots haveno court palace the likes of the Seattle Civic Auditorium or. the new 7,000 seat Spokane Coli seum. However, the Portlanders could jump right in the middle of things with a revamping of the Ice Arena they recently gain ed title to. Seems safe that first item of business for the PU master-minds will be to find a new hoop coach, however, since the Pilot collapse following the departure of Art McLarney must not be very palatable to loyal Purple and White fans ... Harvey Koepf, all-Northwest Conference catcher in '52 and '53 has definitely dropped out of the Bearcat school due to study prob lems and is rumored to be talking contract with Hugh Luby of the - Senators. The story was going about earlier that Koepf had transfer red to Linfield, but it proved to be more fiction than fact. Dale Pat- ton will now be slated to fill the number one receiver post for John Lewis' Methodists as oe did last year when Koepf was shelved with bonet chips in his throwing arm . . . Lewis won't lack for tips on the pad and mask trade what with Floyd Ogden, last year with the Senators, and Irv Roth, Bearcat standout before turning- pro a few seasons back, matriculating at the State Street campus. Both Ogden and Roth have decided to give up the play for pay game to take up other careers. Both recently returned from the service and. will have his coaching credentials at the end of this semester. The likeable Silverton hustler will make a dandy catch for some school that needs a football andor baseball job filled, for he has fine experience in both sports via college, prd and Army action . . . Dick Hoy wound up his collegiate career with a rush, popping in 86 points in the sea son's last four WU games. The final game loss to Eastern Oregon was a typical Willamette setback for the year, with the locals out firing their foes from the field only to lose on the charity line. Ted Schadewitz. the Mounties' terrific guard, hit 16 straight from the black line to help ruin the Bearcats. That game was one of the few that Neil Causbie, Lewis fine Soph center, faltered defensively and found himself on the bench before the final buzzer due to excessive4 fouling. The Albany post man was called for only 25 personals in 15 KvNC games. NCAADecides On TV Plans Program Withheld Until March 14 NEW YORK UH The college ootball television committee has decided on a 1935 program, but won't tell anybody about it until next Monday. The committee, headed by E. L. (Dick) Romney, who is com missioner of the Mountain States Conference, ended a two-day meet ing at noon here Tuesday. Romney said the plan drawn un at the meeting would be mailed to the National Collegiate Athletic Assn. membership for a vote and he result announced March It No Statements Made 'We will have no further state ment until then." said Romney. A wo-thirds vote is needed for ac ceptance. This is regarded as certain. Meanwhile, the Big Ten Confer ence said this delay would com plicate action on the matter by a special Big Ten committee, which meets Wednesday. "We can get the plan and act on it but can't announce it." said Bill Reed, assistant commissioner of the conference. Plan Postponed The NCAA television committee now has twice postponed a defi nite announcement of its 1935 pro gram. Similar delaying action was taken after a Chicago meeting last week. It's believed the hesitancy is due to strong pressure from the Big Ten and the Pacific Coast Con ferences for regional TV rights. The original plan for the year re portedly limited a college to one appearance and provided for live regional telecasts in a 13-game series, i Cardinals Rap Theyll Do It Every Time By Jimmy Hatlo fcTNv f EVER 6ETTO A FIRE?)

Hoxsey, winner of more than 30 bouts mainly on his body punch ing skill, was a head-hunter most of the time Tuesday night. One round, however , the eighth was taken away from him by the referee when he landed a low blow. The Associated Press score card gave Hoxsey five rounds, Alvarez .two and two were even.

By JACK STEVENSON PHOENIX, Ariz. tf Bonus pitcher Paul Giel who joined the New York Giants last year 'direct from the University of Minnesota still figures high in the world champions' plans for 1955. ! Right now it appears the rfast- balling righthander may be called on as a middle man the relief hurler who goes into the game in the middle innings to check an opponent. ,' Paul, who made his athletic fame in college as an All-America half back, knows he still has lots to learn. And the bonus rule that forces the Giants to keep him on the club and not farm him'! out isn't helping. Giel Still Learns "Most of the pitchers corning to spring training already ' have learned the game." Paul. said. "For them it's a matter of round ing into shape. I have to try to round into shape and learn it at the same time. During these early days of spring work, dels work has concectra ted on his curve and a change up "I still have a lot of work Joi do on the curve and after that I have to learn to get it in the right spot," he said.

I think that if he can help us, Leo will use him as a middle man a middle in ning man. McCall Middle Man You know sometimes by the third inning you're behind say 5-0.
