THE BEND BULLETIN SPORTS GENERAL NEWS CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER 34th Year TWO SECTIONS BEND. DESCHUTES COUNTY. OREGON, MONDAY, JANUARY 9. 1950 No. 28 Lava Bears Nose Out Strong Corvallis Quint, in Overtime Contest Held on Local Court Trailing throughout most of the contest, a hard-fighting quintet of Lava Bear hoopstera Saturday night put on a last quarter drive against the Corvallis Spartans, tied up the count at 50-50 at the end of the regular time, and then moved on to score a 53-51 overtime victory over the valley five in a Big Six league game staged before a capacity crowd at the Bend high school gymnasium. Leading the Bend scoring was tall, slender Reggie Halligan who dropped a total of 13 points through the bucket- Close behind him in scoring honors was team captain and guard, Bob Hawes, who chalk ed up a total of 11 points. Corvallis scoring honors went to forward Gordon Packer who tallied a total of 13 points. Trailed Most of Game Not until mid-way In the third period were the Bears, coached by Roger Wiley, able to even up the count. At that time the Bruin quintet pulled out to tie the game at 30-30, then went ahead 32-30. However, the Bruin lead was short-lived as the Spartans went in front with a foul shot and field goal. Bend grabbed the lead again i as forward Larry Carroll scored a field goal, but at the end of the third frame the Spartans were out in front 40-38. As the final quarter opened it looked as though the Spartans were bound for a win, having run the score to 46-40, before the Bruins could hit for a count. Pass Deflected HoweveY, with only, a minute and one half to go, the Bear cag ers ran their score to 45 while holding the Spartans to 47. Then guard Al Christensen deflected a Corvallis pass and it was recov ered by Halligan who dropped it in the bucket to tie up the score at 47 all. Halligan also dropped in a foul shot and the Bears led 48-47, with only one minute and 15 seconds left In the game. The Spartans then moved ahead on a gift shot and field goal to lead 50-48, with only a few sec onds of playing time left. Captain Bob Hawes countered with a field goal and the score was knotted at 50 al).

Jan. 9 IP If the first week of his lusty muscle stretching is any criterion, the diapered little dandy known as 1950 is going to be quite a screw ball when it comes to sports. aeldom, it ever, have anv of his pantywaist predecessors made sucn a swift start toward a strait- jacket. This kid has done more In one short week than many of his ancestors accounted for in their 365-day delirium. ' i ake those New Year cay bowl games, for Instance. You know all about the Rose, Sugar, Cot ton, Orange and others, ad in finitum. But maybe you over looked the "Stone Bowl" battle. It was rather exclusive, being played at the Washington state prison in Walla Walla. The Hornets beat the All-Stars, to 6, even though before the game the Hornet quarterback, a shifty lad named "Speedy Chuck" Corey, made his longest run of the season from the state prison farm. He hadn't been tackled yet, at last reports, so there were no holidays from classes for the win ners. Runner Tackled Up Boston way, a noted mara- mon runner namea Jesse van Zandt was doing a bit of road work through the Back Bay sec tion. It seems there was a police man. The gendarme thought Jesse was a fugitive holdup artist so he brought him down with a flying tackle. ' He d never have had a chance if I'd a known he was trying to catch me," Jesse Insisted with professional rancor. It might have been quite a race at that, Qntil the policeman unlimbered his artillery. rne worm team, inciuaing eight "Yankees'." from . Texas, dropped the senior bowl game to the South at Jacksonville. Ihe Texans all were promptly strip ped of their scholarships, assert- edly for accepting part of the gate receipts. It proves only that the confederacy still lives In the Lone Star state. Florida Southern college at Lakeland announced a course in baseball business management. In the first week, the years greatest comeback was settled al ready. The name is Ben Hogan, and tne little man irom uixie can pick up the marbles. And then there was the every- man-should-exercise department. It was two degrees below zero in the midwest and some guy reported to police that his lawn mower had been stolen. Yep, this kid's going to be a dllly! Tourney Delayed Rv Heavv Rain By Benson Srere (United PreM Sporu Writer) Los Angeles, Jan. 9 IF The Los Angeles open golf tourna ment rules committee meets early today to decide if the weather man's prediction for rain should again wash out the event's third.round play. A driving, unrelenting rain storm forced cancellation of the round yesterday after about two thirds of the 96-man field had completed the 18 holes under mis erable playing conditions. The vigorous and repeated pro tests of the tourney's big-name pros, echoed by most of the lit tle fellows, finally forced cancel lation of the round. Two bantam-sized competitors figured prominently In the de cision. Some Had Finished The first was Jerrv Barber. Pasadena. Calif, with the aid of his deft putter he managed to finish with a two-over-par 73. Barber had a 210 for 54 holes and was practically assured of $2600 first-place money if the round had been allowed to stand. Before the round was erased from the books Barber was 10 strokes In front of Ellsworth Vines, also of Pasadena, and there wasn t a man left on tne course who had a chance of catching him. That Included the tourney's Scholarships Lost By Bowl Players Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 9 lf Doak Walker, Southern Metho dist's all-America halfback, and seven other southwest conference football stars knew that playing in the senior bowl game would cost them their athletic scholar ships, two officials agreed today. Bowl manager Jimmy i-earre, who announced that four south west conference schools were dropping the men from their scholarship rolls, said the eight players entered the game know-1 ing it would nappen. ine scnoois are cutting off financial aid be cause the players received money for participating in the unique bowl venture. Besides Walker, Dick McKis- sick and Jack Halliday of SMU; Ray Borneman and Paul Camp bell of Texas; J. B. Ison and Rupert Wright of Baylor, and Pherson Roberts of Arkansas lost their scholarships. Trojans, Huskies . Loom as Teams To Beat on Coast San Francisco, Jan. 9 (IP The Trojans of southern California, UCLA and the Washington Hus kies emerged over the week eifd as the teams to beat this season in Pacific coast basketball con ference competition. USC and UCLA soundly trounc ed their southern division rivals, Stanford and Californiat while the Huskies look sole possession of the northern division lead by dumping the Idaho Vandals 67 43 Friday and '44-40 Saturday night. " The Bruins and Huskies lived up to pre-season expectations in scoring their victories, but the strength shown by the Trojans was the surprise of the first full week end of conference play. Led by sensational Bill bnar man who found the range for 31 points, the T'-oians scored a run away 73-58 victory over Stanford e riday night. Anu Saturday, iney bounced the California Bears, 61 lo 45, despite the inability of Sharman to break through the close guarding of stellar guard, Jim Payne. .- UCLA Also Good Meanwhile, a brilliant UCLA quintet downed the Bears 50 to 45 Friday night, and then raced to a 71 to 55 victory over Stan ford Saturday night. The Indians broke with their traditional slow, set style of play and tried to beat the Bruins at their own game of fast-breaking basketball. The half ended at 39 all, but Stanford tired in the sec ond period and the Bruins coasted to victory. Up north, the Huskies had to freeze the ball in the final two minutes of play to squeeze by the Vandals. Idaho's zone defense appeared to baffle Washington throughout the game. In another division game, Washington State dumped Ore gon 54 to 46 with center Gene Conley scoring 17 points to lead the way. it was a hard-lougnt game, and gave the Cougars a split in their series with the Ducks. Oregon won r riday night 51-48. West coast fans also were treat ed to other topflight, games Sat urday, iwo traditional rivals, Santa Clara and St. Mary's, bat tled it out with the Broncos dis playing too much class for the undermanned Gaels.
