BEND BULLETIN GENERAL NEWS SPORTS CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER 34th Year TWO SECTIONS BEND, DESCHUTES COUNTY, OREGON. TUESDAY, MARCH 21, 1950 No. 89 THE Sport Parade By Oscar Fralcy (United Frees 8 porta Writer) Bradley Matched Against U. C. L A. in Opening Round Of Collegiate Tournament. By Sam Smith (United Press SHirl Writer) Kansas City, Mo. March 21 (U.I!) Bradley univeraity, whose "revenge express" was almost derailed before it got started, was matched today against U.C.L.A. in the opening round of the N.C.A.A. basketball tournament here Friday night. The other semi-final will bring together Baylor, champion of the southwest conference, and Brigham Young, kingpin of the skyline six. : Bradley's Braves, trying to fight their way back to a re match against the City college team that beat them in the na tional invitation tourney, first had to gain a berth in the N.C.A.A. western regionals. City is entered in the eastern starting Thursday. Bradley earned that berth last night, but only by a 59-57 score! in a playoff game against an aroused University of Kansas team. Kansas Shows Class Kansas, reprsenting the Big Seven, presented a sophomore heavy squad that was trailing by 31-28 at the half. But then the Jayhawks came roaring back to take a 45-38 lead after seven min utes as six-foot, nine-inch Clyde Lovelette began hitting for bas kets. Bradley, still chagrined by the City college upset and surprised by the sudden Kansas spurt, could have folded up then, but the Braves were too game for that. Six foot, seven - inch Elmer Behnke swished in nine points to head a drive that tied the score at 48-48. The "two teams battled on almost even terms and Bradley went into the final two minutes leading, 56-54. Kansas got a chance when Bill Houghland canned a free throw to make it 65-55,-but little Gene Melchiorre of Bradley intercepted the pass in-bounds and drew a foul. -He sank it and Fred Schlicht man added a field goal that clinched the game. Cary Middlecof f Wins Tourney Jacksonville, Fla., March 21 Ui Cary Middlecoff's remarkable recovery of form that enabled him to win the $10,000 Jackson ville open golf tournament rank ed todav as the greatest of the winter campaign. ' Middlecoff practically was counted out of the tournament af ter the second round when he stood tied at 8th place in the star studded field. But he stuck in there, and at the start of yester day's final round he was in fourth place. Then, playing his typical cool headed game, the handsome den tist from Memphis stroked out a three-under-par 69 that brought him home two strokes ahead of the field with an aggregate 279 for his second straight tourney win. Middlecoff pocketed $2,000 as the winner's share of the tourna ment, his second straight Jack sonville triumph. He now ranks among the top half-dozen pros of the circuit with winnings of more than $6,000. Jack Burke of While Plains, N. Y who entered the final round with a one-stroke lead, trudged home with a poor 78 when the final round was over;. George Fazio of Washington, D. C, earned the runner-up prize of $1,400 when he finished with a 281 total. Henry Ransom of St. Andrews, 111., finished third with a 282. Edinburgh, Scotland, March 21 mi You listened to the savage skirling of the bagpipes, saw the long-jawed determination of 80, 000 resolute Scots, and knew that this was more than a Rugby game. Scotland was playing England for the Calcutta cup, but it trans cended a match of muscle over a sliver of silver. There was some thing here of the fierce, wild pride handed down from the days of Robert the Bruce, and fabled from Bannockburn to Ypres and Dunkirk. England was favored,, but you look through the roar! at this proud people who face the rain and the odds with shoulders square, and knew that Scotland would take a lot of beating. Nothing Soft Yes, it was only "rugger" but don't ever let .anybody tell you that if is a soft touch. There are 15 men to a side, on a field the size of a gridiron, and it is a game which requires terrific fit ness. They play 40 minute halves, no substitutions. And the players stand on their feet for a five min ute "rest" between periods. Thus, for 80 out of 85 minutes, they are running, tackling, block ing, and kicking and when Scot land faces England, no quarter is asked and none is given. You didn't have to be told. You felt it long before the feams charged onto the field. It was there 'in the ruddy faces of the Dublane pipers, war orphans from 6 to 16 as thoy struggled along under their shrilling pipes, and the swishing Tartans of the Black Watch. With five minutes of the final whistle, England's valiant 15 were on top. Then the Scots came on. This was Rugby no longer. These were the "ladies from hell," and they came with a rush which was not to be denied, pushing over the winning goal, as Scottish throats rent the Scottish heavens with a tumultuous torrent of sound, which could come only from the heather-covered high lands. Aye, your Scot is regarded as a dour man. But the 80,000 gave it the lie then, as England tum bled on the short end of a 13 to 11 score because the spirit of Ban nockburn still, .and always will, burn brightly among the crags and the lowlands of Scotland. Popular Bout On Thursday Card The fans asked for this one; a main event bout between popular Al Szasz, junior heavyweight wrestling champion of the Pacific coast, and "Gentleman Dale" Had dock, a toughie from Wayne, Mich. The pair will headline the wres tling show at the Bend armory Thursday night, according to Tex Hager, promoter. lie reports that he signed the two for the match after he had received a large number of requests to pit "Gentle man Dale" against "the best wrestler" he could find and "pre ferably" Al Szasz. Haddock won the "wrestle roy al" on last week's card but lost the respect of the fans with his attitude that "anything goes" in the wrestling ring. Newcomer Slated In the semifinal event on the evening's program, Bob Cum mings of Seaside, Ore., will he pitted against a newcomer to Bend, Karl Grey. The latter is from Milwaukee, Wis., and weighs about 190 pounds. The opening match will be a 30 minute, one fall "special" featur ing Pierre LaBelle of France and Milt Olsen of Racine, Wis. The former weighs 186 pounds and the latter 184 pounds. The main event between Szasz and Haddock will be a one hour, best two out of three falls match, and the semi-final, a 45-minute, best two out of three falls match, according to Hager. Referee Thursday night will be Jack .Mitchell of Portland. The first bout will start at 8:30 p.m. FIND AIR AGE OK Tampa, Fla. U Mrs. Martha Ann Freeman liked her first air plane ride so much she promised to take another on her 98th birth day. The ride was a 971 h birthday present. Field Cut Down In A.A.U. Meet Denver, March 21 (IB The sec ond round of the 1950 national A. A. U. basketball tournament here today will be highlighted by inital appearances from west coast Texas. The 42-team field was cut down to 24 after yesterday's play, in which the first two seeded teams to see action, Phillips Oilers of Barlesville, Okla., and the Den ver Chevroleis, came through witn easy victories. The Denver Chevs piled up a ! 36-21 halftime lead over Shearer j Motors of St. Louis, Mo., and then i coasted to a 56-38- victory. The i host Denver quintet was helped ! materially by the addition of John Pilch, Wyoming university's great center of the season just ; past. I Baseball Briefs (By United Press) Palm Springs, Calif. The Seat tie Rainiers, their batting eyes sharpened by a 15 to 5 victory over Sacramento, play host to Portland here today. First baseman Ralph Atkins and outfielder J i m Keating smacked round trippers to pace the Rainier win yesterday, while the Beavers came through with a surprise 11 to 5 victory over San Diego. The Beavers got nine blows to the Padres' 12, but they capital ized on three San Diego errors for the win. Shortstop Joe Polich batted in four runs with two singles, and centerfielder Luis Marquez scored four more with a double and a triple. Anaheim,, Calif. The Holly, wood Stars invade the Sacramen to training camp here today in search of their seventh straight victory. The game will ring down the curtain on the Solons' schedule of games at Anaheim. They move to Riverside tomorrow to meet the Portland Beavers in their fin al southern1 California appear ance. The Sacs were slated to pin their hopes on twirler Bill Evans to hold down the hardhitting Twinks, and Gordqn Maltzberger was named to take the mound for Hollywood. Ontario, Calif. Bob Muncrief and Pete'Mallory will take the mound today when the Los An geles Angels return to PCL com petition agamst San Diego here, basis because he believed the Des Kyne to Seek Track Lease In Portland Portland, March 21 U'i Wil liam P. Kyne of San Francisco said today he will attempt to re gain control of the $2,000,000 Port land Meadows horse racing plant which was purchased by the First National bank of Portland yester day at a sheriff's sale. The hank's bid of $476,092.87 was the only offer received for the plant's physical properties, which were sold as a result of the bank's foreclosure of a $428, 000 mortgage. The sale was ordered by the cir cuit court here afrar Portland Meadows' stockholders were de clared to be in default in payment of int.erest on the mortgage. Kyne,- general manager and original organizer of the track, said he plans to confer with bank officials in attempt to regain con trol of the track on a lease basis. He said his interest in reacquir ing the property was to protect the original investors. Better Offer Possible However, Kyne pointed out that other racing Interests also may seek to lease the plant and that the bank may get a better offer than he can submit. "Whether we get it or not," Kyne said, "I am pretty sure Port land Meadows will have a spring meet. I have lots of faith in the track, particulerly if the tax situa tion here can' be remedied." Kyne and associates in San Francisco have raised $300,000 and stockholders have subscribed additional money in their attempt to regain control. Portland Meadows originally cost about $1,250,000, but capital investment has amounted to about $2,000,000 because of the disastrous Columbia river flood in 198 which damaged most of the track s buildings. Reports that unidentified Cal ifornia racing interests would Bid for the track proved unfounded. R. R. Bullivant, representing the bank, was the only bidder among a crowd of 200 persons who jam ped into the lobby of the Multno mah County courthouse to witness the sale. Bend Bowling Resulii .
