Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore. Page 1 6 Thurs., Feb. 21, 1952 U.S. Team 2nd In 4-Man Sled Olympic Races Poor Track May Halt Last Heats OSLO, Norway (U.R The No. 1 U. S. team steered by Stan Benham of Lake Placid, N. Y., placed second behind Germany Thursday in the first two heats of the Olympic four-man bob sled competition on a track so slushy that Friday's final two heats may have to be postponed. An unseasonably hot sun raised temperatures to the mid-40's and made a slush-chute of the 1500 , meter nearly one mile Frogner seteren bobsled-run and produced gaping holes in the ice that ham pered most of the sleds. AT THE END of the first two heats, the course was in such bad ly damaged condition that Olym- Hockey Flare-Up OSLO UP) The Internation al Ice Hockey Federation direc tors decided Wednesday night to take no action against Ameri can Ice Hockey IMayer Joe Czar nota, who was involved In fist fighting during the U.S.-Swit-xerland game. American style of play against Switzerland drew protests from the Norwegian crowd, which threw orange peels on the Ice and yelled "Chicago gangsters." The game was stopped for four minutes to quiet the crowd. Eu ropeans do not use hard body contacts and the aggressive style of Americans and Canadians pic officials feared Friday's final two scheduled heat, might have to be postponed. One Olympic official said that the course might not be put back into shape by Sunday, the con cluding day, and that the four man bobsled competition might not be completed. Benham's sled made Its first run in one minute, 17.44 seconds and its second in 2:17.78 for a combined clocking of 2:35.22. The time was nearly two seconds flower than the combined clock ing of the crack German tied, THE AMERICANS, who won the four-man championship in the 1948 Olympics, were a strong fa vorite to repeat. Germany 'a daredevil .led, which included Andreas Ostler and Lorenz Nieberl, the two-man Olympic champions, cascaded down the rapidly softening Frog neraetern run in heats of 1:16.36 and 1:17.57 for a combined time t 2:33.93. The No. I U. S. sled, steered by Jim Blckford of Saranac Lake, N. Y., was in ninth place at the end of the first two heats with combined time of 2:39.10. Switzerland's two entries were la third and fourth place. JEANETTE ALTWEGG. 22 year old apple cheeked English girl, won the woman's Olympic figure .katlng championship Wednesday night on the basi. of unofficial figures. Second on the basis of the un official figures was Miss Tenley Albright, 16 year old American girl from New Center, Mass. Seattle Rejects NAIB Cage Bid SEATTLE m Seattle Uni versity passed up its chance Wednesday for a crack at the na tional small-college basketball championship in the hope for a bid to the National Collegiate Athletic Association plavoffs. Rated 16th this week in the As sociated Press national poll, Seat tle was to have been host at the four-team stale playoffs of the National Association of Intercol legiate Basketball. This now will be played March 4-5 at Cheney, with the winner earning a berth in the national finals. Gonzaga University and three .Evergreen Conference teams will be entered. Seattle drew an automatic two year suspension from NAIB tour ney play by its action. Willard Fenlon, athletic direc tor, said the school believed it had an excellent chance to be chosen as one of the "at-large" teams in the western regionals of the NCAA. Two such clubs will be chosen from west of the Mississip pi to compete in the regionals March 21-12 at Corvalhs, Ore. No Ducks on Dye's ND Team SEATTLE (iV) Coach Tippy D.va considers six of his Univer sity of Washington basketball tilavers as heinu nmnnp ih in best in the Northern Division. And Dye, who submitted his Northern Division all-star team Wednesday couldn't find a spot among the top 10 for a University of Oregon player. On his first team, the Husky coach put Frank Gtiisncss, Wash ington, and Eric Roberts, Wash ington State, forwards: Boh Hou bergs, Washington, renter: and Hartley Krueger, Idaho, and Dan ny Johnston, Oregon Stale, guards. His second team included four Washington players: Doug Mc Clary, center: Dunne Enochs, fore ward; and Mike McCutchcn and Joe Clpriano, guards. He named Pete Mulling, Washington State, as the others second-team forward. HIGHCLIMBER L UM.., Unkon Id. av.Wntifnflt Mill tinV Vfllfl hnsket W 11UUUJ 1IMII.WI1, . ....

Wrltct NEW YORK tU.R) This is the baseball silly season, when every Major League manager dreams pennant and every team has a crop of rookies which an nually include "a new Walter Johnson Johnson," or, at the very least, a "new Dizzy Dean." It matters not one whit, or even a half one, that year in an d year out these spring flowers wilt into fielders a la Pepper Martin or pitchers with all the control of a loaded pin ball machine. There are two basic values to this hope eternal, however. With out it, the mortality rate among managers would be fearful. And, in its absence, your frantic fan in many a way station would be tempted to shave real close, end ing once and for all both five o'clock and ninth inning shadows. THE CROP this year, though, looks to be a bit more able than usual of living up to advance no tices. Not those of the "Walter Johnson" or "Dizzy Dean" tags, possibly, but serviceable. So lets take a quick look at the rookies who may possibly make the grade. Conning the National League first, the Giants have four, if you want to include young Davey Wil liams, who may become head liners or, at least remain under the big top. Williams was up last year but now gets his chance to succeed the departed Eddie Stan- ky full time. The Giants also look to pitcher Vince DiLorenzo, 22-8 at Jacksonville; outfielder Gall Henley .281 at Sioux City and catcher Ray Katt, .308 at Minne apolis. BROOKLYN WIU, inspect a baker's dozen pitchers, while St. Louis looks to pitcher Octavio Ru pert, 19-4 at Houston, and out fielder Vern Benson, a Columbus power hitter. The Braves have a host of rookie pitchers in parade plus infieldcrs George Crowe, .339 American Association rookie of the year and Jack Dittmer, who hit .334 at Atlanta.

Collier's lists the fol can see mow on most of the The Phillies don't expect too much, concentrating on getting their regulars to play ball, but Cincinnati touts pitcher Rudy Mi narcin, 16-12 at Buffalo, and out fielder Wally Post with a hercu- j lean arm. Pittsburgh will slip 'em a Rickey, meaning plenty of youth, while Chicago expects Dee Fondy to make the grade at first and help from Southpaw Fred Beczewski, 12-10 at Los Angeles. IN THE AMERICAN League, the Yanks may solve problems with first baseman Bob Cerv, .361 at Kansas City, and outfielder Ar chie Wilson, the International League's most valuable with Buf falo. Cleveland, hoping for pitch ing to counterbalance other defic its, touts Bill Abernathle, 16-6, at Dallas. Boston has Hershel Free man, 12-5, at Birmingham, while the White Sox will try to find a spot for fleet Bob Boyd, an Infield er who hit .340 in the Coast League. Detroit hopes for Al Federoff, good field, no-hit, second sacker from Toledo. The A's count on outfielder Keith Thomas, .282 at Kansas City, and Washington hopes to capitalize on second base man Leroy Deitzel of Chattanoogo and outfielder Francisco Campus, who hit .433 In eight games last season. The lowly St. Louis Browns are likely to wind up with nine rook ies any edition, or any inning. None of them, however, will be midgets in the accepted sense of the word. Edean, Gracie Golf Duos Win ORLANDO, Fla. tF Babe Zaharias and Al Besselink were the hot shots of the international mixed two-ball open golf tourna ment Wednesday, stroking a rec ord 29 on the front nine and scoring a lop-sided first round victory. Mrs. Zaharias, Tampa, and Bes selink, her long-swinging partner playing from Chicago, crushed Marilyn Klumb, West Bend, Wis., and Alvin Peterson, Hillside, N.J., 8 and 7. The favored team of Sam Snead, White Sulphur Springs, W. Va and Betty MacKinnon, Mt. Pleasant, Tex., who shot a seven under par 64 Tuesday to win medal honors, played even par Wednesday to defeat Mary Ann Downey, Baltimore, and Rod Munday, York, Pa., 3 and 2.

St. Louis Quint Clinches Berth In NCAA Meet Dayton Rolls Up 13th Win in Row NEW YORK (U.R The slick St. Louis University Billikens Thursday became the second team to qualify for the NCAA basket ball tournament. The Bills, currently ranked as the No. 8 team in the nation by the United Press board of caoaches, gained the tournament berth when they clinched the Missouri Valley conference cham pionship Wednesday night at St. Louis by defeating Houston, 63 55. ST. LOUIS' first round oppon ent in the western regionals of the NCAA tourney at Kansas City, March 21, will be the as-yet-undetermined champion of the Border conference. Of the other 15 NCAA berths, the only one already clinched is that belonging to the Southeast ern conference champion, which is Kentucky. The National In vitation tournament has filled three of its 12 berths with Du- quesne, St. John's and St. Bona- venture. Six-foot, five-inch Bob Koch led St. Louis to its clinching tri umph as he sank 23 points, 15 of them in the second half. DAYTON U ranked No. 14 na tionally and a leading candidate for both NIT and NCAA bids, furthered its cause with a 65-56 victory over Miami of Ohio. It was the Flyers' 22nd victory against only two losses and their 13th straight since losing to St. John's. However, Penn State had its tournament hopes jolted by a 54 52 upset by Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Penn built up a 34 22 lead at halftime, but needed a late basket by Ernie Beck to win. The loss was the second in 19 games for Penn State, which has announced it was not interested in an NIT bid but would consider an NCAA bid as a member-at-large.

Anv nne nf several things from University's clinching the fi nal district playoff spot to a con tinued merry mixup between the Tiders, Cottage Grove, ana Springfield can happen in the last big night of prep basketball Friday. Two games will hold all the in terest as far as the District o-i cage race is concerned. The con tests pit Junction City againsi University at McArthur court, and Willamette at Cottage Grove. The Tiders. with a win over tne hot Junction quint, could do no worse than tie for the playoff spot. If the Grovers lose to Wil lamette, then Uni-Hi is in, with both the Lions and Springfield eliminated. IF RAY Hendrickson's quint fails to halt Junction's 7-game winning streak, then Cottage Grove and Springfield are very much alive as far as the playoff berth is concerned. The Grovers won't wind up their district slate until next Tuesday at Junction. Oregon, Husky Swimmers Clash Coach Jack Torney's unbeaten Washington swimming team, de fending Northern Division cham pions, will be favored over Ore gon's once-beaten Oregon Web foots in a dual meet at the men's pool Friday. Starting time will be 3:30 p.m. The Huskies will be favored despite the absence of All-American Pete Salmon, sprint freestyle ace whose studies will keep him in Seattle. The invaders have plenty of power otherwise, espe cially in Dick Magnuson, AU American breaststroker, and Mer rill Hodges, holder of many one and three-meter diving titles, in cluding the North Division crown. Two sophomores will aid Wash ington. Jim Portelance, distance freestyler, and Phil Bennett, sprint ace. Coach John Borchard believes his Webfoots have a good chance against the Huskies and boasts three unbeaten mermen in Pete Charlton, diving; Jim Allen, dis tance freestyle, and Yosh Terada, medley ace. Oregon has won four of five dual meets to date, losing only to IWSC by a slim margin. Special Sedanet ONLY 1845 Dial 5-2361 K ff Tl "K JLl JJi T" Junction City won the first meeting from University 65-64 and the Tigers sense a chance to tie with Eugene for the Division title by winning Wis ana me Grove game. On top of tnat, tne Tigers have the best record of a Lane County A quint wun 10 wins in 17 games. Cottage Grove is figured to top ple the out-of-the-running Wil lamette club, by virtue of an earlier 55-35 nod. The Wolves, with center Doug Mumme back, could pull another of the many upsets which have highlighted district play this year. This is Willamette's last game of the sea. n. EUGENE AND Springfield will also round out their regular '51-'52 cage campaign's Friday. The Axe men trek to Albany to meet the Bulldogs in what should be a close Big-Six contest, Eugene won the first game 69-60 but faces a rugged assignment In trying for two straight. Springfield moves against St Francis on the Gael court. The Millers, who have been hitting a winning stride, rate the nod over St. Francis. Springfield won the earlier, 44-21. The District 6-2 race will come to a close Friday when Oakridge moves to Elmira. The Warriors have already clinched the Division 2 crown and are picked to repeat an earlier 69-32 verdict over the Falcons. Drain moves to Pleasant Hill Friday in a no-count "B" game. while Crow tackles McKenzie in another "B" battle.
