The Oregon State University ' ' Beavers, who meet No, 1 nationally-ranked and champion University of Cincinnati Bearcats Friday night, today had their - first look at Freedom Hall, the 18,000-seat basketball pavillion , that is only part of an extensive complex owned and operated - by the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center. , . . The complex, covering 357 acres, includes a stadium, golf ' ' course and automobile speedway in addition to exposition buildings, motel and a number of restaurants. , . .

Shivelu of the University of Kentucky. . . . Forrest Twogood, USC bas ketball coach, and Pete Newell, former coach of the NCAA ' champion California Bears (1959) and now Cat athletic dl- - rector, are among the six committeemen. ... This is tho fourth time the NCAA finals have been held ' here in 1958 when Kentucky defeated Seattle 84-72, in 1959 when California defeated West Virginia 71-70, and last year when Cincinnati defeated Ohio State 71-59. , . .

The Beavers arc working on a seven-game win i ning record, but have lost seven while winning 22. . , . But the only team the Beavers Inst to and didn't have a chance for revenge was to West Virginia in the Kentucky Tourna ment when Terry Baker played his first game of the sea son. . . .

Oregon State was the only team that "fooled" the rating ex perts, being ranked 14th by the UPI. . . .

I've seen two previous championship finals in 1949 when Kentucky's Alex Groza was the star and Adolph Rupp gave one of his most atrocious exhibitions as a coach. . . .

The flight time from Salem, including a 45-minute stop in Denver, was 7V4 hours. In addition to the writer, seven residents of the Eugene area on the flight were Mrs. Fred "Daisy" Hills, Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Hills, Vern Hawn, Bob Hollingsworth and Mr. and Mrs. Gala Roberts. Greeting the Beaver charter in Denver were the Roberta' daughter, Lauralee, a junior education major attend ing Loretto Heights Girls School in Denver, and Cliff Cran dall, star of the Oregon State team that gained the NCAA semifinals the only other time in 1949. Two other Lane county Beaver Boosters among the family numbering well over 1,000, Mr. and Mrs. Claude Gerlach of Springfield, were scheduled to arrive here on a Thursday flight that will also bring the OSU pep band and rally squad. There was only one difficulty on the air trip. Gill was forced to change the dinner practice schedule to allow for the three-hour time change one-hour delay. But all were well ted with tenderloins for lunch and ham for dinner. ..WWUejaaawej j IT LEAVES I -j YOU 1 J I BREATHLESS I mm Sjeja3MBj"fejap NO WORLD'S LARGEST other almost point for point throughout the game.

Coquille connected on over 40 per cent of its shots for the third game In a row, outshoot- ing Central .410 to .360, and also scored eight more points than tne Panthers on free throws, But Coquille's lack of height led to its final downfall.

The Falcons, third-ranked A-2 team in the state, were an also ran in the state tournament to which they came tabbed as the co-favorite along with top ranked Henley to ' win the championship. First, Elmira lost in overtime to Henley in the opening round. Then, after getting past New port Tuesday, the Falcons lost again this time after leading by as much as nine points in the first quarter to North Catholic of Portland, 89-53. The defeat, which leaves El mira with a 24-4 season record third best of any A-2 school- plunged the Falcons into sixth place in the eight-team tourney. "Gosh, that's a tough way to go out," grimaced Elmira coach Don McCluskey after Wednes day's loss. "I'd like to play a few of those clubs again." One might be North Catholic. After going ahead right from the start and leading 15-6 at the end of the first quarter, Elmira suffered through what may have been its worst quarter of bas ketball all season.
