THE BEND BULLETIN CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER SPORTS GENERAL NEWS 33rd Year BEND. DESCHUTES COUNTY. OREGON. WEDNESDAY. MARCH 9. 1949 No. 79 Qreg's Qossip -By L. H. Gregory 1 i Portland, March -Seems incomprehensible, but there It Is: A small but noisy crew of wolves ggt Lon Stiner's job as Oregon State football coach. . . Two defeats by Oregon, after his teams had won nine of the preceding ten, were the lever used, and also there was some silly talk about "dissatisfied players"; this came entirely from a few fellows, thinking themselves better than they were, who were sore at not being played oftener In a squad of around 40. . . But the resulting pressure and unpleasantness, as we personally know, were behind Stiner's request of Monday not to be considered for reappoint-1 ment after 16 head coaching seasons. . . What must a coach do to stay abreast win everything? That's about it, if against a traditional opponent. . , Since 1936 when a long period of Stlner-team dominance started, results between Oregon and Oregon State stand 9 to 3 for Stiner, a percentage of .750; yet two In a row on the defeat side turned the pack against him. . . There's more than a chance that Yale may win the eastern NCAA basketball champion and thus be come that section's entry against the best from the West (Oregon State, quite possibly) in the March 26 collegiate finals at University V of Washington. Yale, whose coach Is Howard Hobson, now in his CV second year since leaving Oregon and his long-time competition with fjr Oregon State and Gill, has far and away the Ivy league's top man (it f f has one string of eleven straight). . . Hobby has turned up one' of the all-time great DasKetoail players in spectacular Tony Lavem. Against Army, Lavelli scored 31 points; against Princeton, 40 points; and the other night against Williams, ran up an incredible 52! Both GUI and Friel Hoped for USC While their teams both still were contenders in the northern divi sion basketball race, Jack Friel of Washington State and Slats Gill of Oregon State were fanning at Corvallis a couple of weeks ago. Friel asked Gill this question: "If you win up here, Slats, which southern division team would you rather meet in the playoff for the Pacific Coast title USC or UCLA? You tell me, and then I'll tell you". Slats pondered carefully and answered: "USC has a more season ed and experienced lineup and on paper would seem more dangerous; nevertheless, I believe I'd rather play that team than UCLA. You can figure USC, but these UCLA boys are faster and more rugged. They might get a hot streak and explode right In your face" . . . "Exactly how I feel," commented Friel. "You can't tell what UCLA might do. Now Oregon State has the northern championship, while In the south UCLA took the title from USC by exploding in the two final games just as these coaches visualized. This brings the ' unpredict able UCLA boys to Corvallis'thls Friday and Saturday (a third game Monday night, if one is needed), for the Coast championship,-the winner going to Kansas City the following Friday and Saturday for the NCAA western regionals there. . . The Coast playoff comes north this time because last year it was played in California. . . Gill won't be entirely in the dark as to UCLA potentialities. He had Paul Valenti, hsi freshman coach, in Los Angeles scouting the UCLA-USC series, and UCLA undoubtedly countered by having someone checking on Oregon State against Oregon. Bruins Play .Indiana-Style Basketball , We won't get sentimental and call UCLA a "Cinderella team" (vote of thanks, please), but the Bruins and Cinderella could ex change interesting experiences. Cinderella was a sort of ashen type before her big evening, and the Bruins of last year gave such an alleycat performance that they tied for last place in the southern division with only 3 wins to 9 defeats. Their coach then was Wilbur Johns. He had won the southern title in '47, only to lose two straight at Corvallis for the Coast championship to Slats Gill's Lew Beck team. , Johns liked the 1949 outlook so little that he hastily accepted pro motion upstairs to director of athletics. There his first job was select ing his own successor as basketball coach. He picked John Wooden from Indiana State Teachers College. Twelve years before Wooden naci just iimsnea at furaue, wnere tor tnree seasons ne won an American basketball rating at guard. It seems to have been quite a nick: Wooden didn't have one first Stringer left, but probably was as well pleased. From a hodge-podge oi sopnomores, transiers ant miKnowns ne put togetner a Dranu new team, playing mama style, to race surprisingly to a title nis tirst year as coach with 10 wins and only 2 defeats. They Gallop, But Shine as Exploders His style? It inclines to galloping, but the real basis of its success seems to be flaming morale. His boys are good shooters, but (heir great asset is that ability to get red hot and "explode". Especially watch these UCLA names in the sure-to-be-interesting series with Oregon State, another team on which morale comes first. George Stanich, 6-3, at forward, brother of John Stanich of last year, and called UCLA's finest all-round athlete since Jackie Robinson he tied for third in the Olympic high jump at London last summer, and is the Bruins' No. 1 varsity baseball pitcher . . . Eddie Shelldrake, 5-9 sophomore guard, only a sub until recently, though last year as a freshman he scored 262 points In 20 games . . . And Carl (Crash) Krayshaar, 6-4 V4, who must be pretty fast despite his 197 pounds, for though center now, ho formerly played guard. -a 1 String TRAINING CAMP BRIEFS , I (By United ITessI .3 Tucson, Ariz., March 9 The f 5 champion Cleveland Indians to 3 clay bore a closer resemblance to 1 the one big happy family of last October following the acceptance ".'J of terms by Pitcher Bob Lemon, Vj second baseman Joe Gordon, Jf ijiitcher Gene Bearden and utility l( Infielder Johnny Borardino.
