B State Championship basketball
tourney Friday. Jefferson and
Brownsville were eliminated from
further play as the state's "small
school" tourney rolled into its
final day of action Saturday af
ternoon and night.
Echo acted as if they were
playing their third string subs
as they merrily romped over the
highly favored Knappa quint, 90

ord that Elkton had earlier set
bv eliminatwing Brownsville, 84

final by nipping Elgin, 69-6.
Sisters climinalod Jefferson irom
the tourney by trimming tbe
Marion County B League cham

Saturday'! Lineup
Sisters now plays Elkton at
2.30 today for conslation honors,
Knappa meets Elgin at 7:30 for
third place and the surprising
Echo club tanglenvith Malin at
8:43 for the championship.
Echo's lopsided victory over
Knappa avenged an earlier loss
to Knappa in an overtime, one
of the .three losses of the year
for Coach George DiLap's East
ern Oregon quint.
Echo jumped into a 20-12 first
quarter lead, increased it to 31
27 at halftime and kept poftpd
ing their opponents in the third
period to hold a comfortable 53
37 advantage as the final period
opened. But that last quarter
when many Echo subs were in
the game was the most produc
tive for Echo. They scored 37
points the same number that
their opponents had scored in
the entire first three quarters.
Ramos High with 20
Substitute Bill Lozier, a 55
senior guard, supplied - 12 - of
those 37 points in thtt final fast
period.
Mike Ramos was high scorer
for Echo with 20, followed by
teammates Allen Tolar with 18
and brother Sam Ramos with 15.
Bob Hunt, all-star from last year's
state champs, managed 19 points
- to pace the Knappa team.
After the first half. Echo started
hitting the basket with a regular
ity that swamped the defending
champs. They hit 23 out of 39 field
goal attempts for a .590 shooting
average in the second half. They
shot .480 for the entire game and
its 36' field goals also, was a new
record.
The favored Knappa team from
Northwest Oregon appeared over
confident and had poor shooting
luck. Knappa managed to stay
within range until midway in the
third quarter when Echo started
hitting long shots from 25 and 30
feet out.
Echo's brother combinations of
j Mike and Sam Ramos and Allen
and Mick Tolar accounted for two
thirds of their team scoring.

round. He wound up the game with
35 points, three short of the tour

Sisters had to overcome a 32-27

WSC, 78-62
MOSCOW. Idaho t - Idaho
climbed out of the Pacific Coast
Conference basketball cellar Fri
day night with an easy 78412 win
over Washington State in a slow,
font-filled game.
The officials whistled out 56
fouls and a en players, four from
WSC and three from Idaho, left
the game on fouls. The foul calling
got especially heavy in the second
half, which dragged on for almost
an hour.
The Vandals staved ahead after
the first five minutes and the
crowd got most of its interest from
a scoring duel between WSC for
ward Larry Beck and Idaho guard
Gary Simmons. Beck collected 31
points. 19 of them from the foul
line, before fouling out in the do
ing minutes. Summons had 28, with
14 points on free throws.
Beck Tops Reeard
Beck's points ran his conference
total to 304, a new WSC scoring
record for PCC play.
The Vandals found the right com
bination mid-way in the first half
as they began to control the back
boards and even did a bit of ball
stealing. Idaho led 37-27 at the
half.
Simmons popped in four quick
points after intermission and the
Cougars could never threaten.

"CHICAGO - Welterweight
Champion Carmen Basilio and
challenger Johnny Saxton Friday
were found in excellent shape for
their title match at the Chicago
Stadium Wednesday night.
After two Illinois State Athletic
Commission doctors gave the bat
tiers a thorough examination, the
commission instructed them on Il
linois rules for the 15-round bout
which will be televised nationally
with a 150-mile Chicago area
blacked out. "
Lark at Bickering
There was a complete lack of
bickering. Usually, each camp
squawks about rabbit punches, too
much grease, the type of gloves or
the other fighter's style.
Perhaps the reason was that
challenger Saxton confronted the
commission more or less on his
own. His reported manager, r ran
(Blinky) Palermo, is banned in II
jlionois. so Saxton is acting as his
own manager. '
Champ's Part Okched
A five-vear managerial contract
that will decide if Idaho and WSC i between Basilio and his two pilots.
share the PCC cellar again or if
