Newspaper Page Textrage A occul Coacli htman O O ' a O A rt ft .Q - . a O 9 i, Officials Say 'No Regrets' at Move Borcher, O'Briens Named Possible Successors SEATTLE Wl" AI .Brightman was looking for a new job Wednes day and Seattle University was looking for a successor to the bas ketball coach who left hastily and without public explanation after eight glory-speckled years. The rumors were plentiful why Brightman's resignation was ac cepted Tuesday but the growing Catholic school expressed no rt- gret at his leaving and Brightman said he was departing "without any regrets." And along with the rumors "'why' came those about "who" will succeed the 32-year-old mentor Who coached the famous O'Briens .Johnnie and Eddie and had a 180 won. 68 losses record. O'Briens Prospects Quickly named as likely succes sors were the O'Briens but they appeared to be eliminated be cause Father Robert Rebhahn. S.J., director of athletics at SU who announced Brightman would be leaving April 1, said his suc cessor will be hired on a full-time basis. The O'Briens are under contract to the Pittsburgh Pirates of the National Baseball League and are not available much of the year, Among likelihoods prominently mentioned, however, are: Clarence E. Illec) Edmundson, former University of Washington coach. Edmundson, a Roman Catholic, could probably have the O'Briens as part-time assistants in their non-baseball months, a source close to Seattle University said Tuesday night. Bill Borcher, the coach at the University of Oregon. Salary Not Attractive Steve Bclko, coach at Idaho State who also is believed to be a strong contender for the basket ball coaching job at Colorado. George Zicgcnfuss, former Uni versity of Washington star under Edmundson who now coaches at San Diego State. Brightman's salary was report ed to be "around $7,800 to $8,500," which probably would have to be topped to obtain Borcher and pos sibly the others except Edmund son, known to be chafing at retire ment's bit.' Meanwhile, Brightman said he is "going to start looking for something new and more perm anent immediately." By "more permanent" he meant a job he has lined up to coach a semi-pro baseball team this summer. "State NationcdoGudrd Rifle Champions Trinidad Speedster Predicts Race Mark ii SILVERTON The Sllverton unit of the Oregon National Guard, Headquarters Co. of the first battalion of the 162nd Infantry, (above), carried off honors in the winter state championship shoot In Portland last Sunday.

If) Mike Agostini of Trinidad, latest claim ant of the world's fastest human label after his record-gettcring 20.1 seconds for 220 yards, pre dicts ho may run a 9-flnt 100 be fore Ihe Olympic Games In No vember. The 21-yeor-old Fresno State Col lege sophomore confidently says: "1 can run faster." In two weeks he has topped Mel Fatton's 20.2 world clocking in the Santee Given Legal Setback Ruling on Permanent Ban Awaited; Out Of Relays , By Ell CORRIGAN NEW YORK Wl - It's a brand new ball game, as they say. First, Wcs Santee had his innings, then the Amateur Athletic Union came on fast and today the contest be tween the two is deadlocked. Right now, Santee, America's premier miler, is out of the Chi cago Daily News Relays this Sat urday. Justice Walter A. Lynch of the New York State Supreme Court saw to that yesterday when he refused to continue a tempo rary injunction which barred the AAU from enforcing its lifetime ban on Santee. Should Rule Soon The jurist, however, can and probably will make a ruling in the case before Saturday, lt he decides ill Santec's favor and grants a permanent injunction, then the skinny Marine Corps lieutenant Is lice to run anywhere any time. If he rules in favor of the AAU, Ihe ban imposed by the Execu tive lomimltec Fob. 1'J Santee was found guilty of accepting cx- 220 and has two 9.4 centuries. The 100 record is 9.3, owned by Pnt ton, Hector Hogan and Jim Colli day. Agostini, who transferred to Fresno State in 1955 after one se mester at Villanova, flashed his 20.1 furlong in a triangular meet at Bakcrsficld, Calif., Saturday. He said he got a perfect start and felt good all the, way. Hos "More Left" Veteran observers said the 5 foot 7V4-inch sprinter ran at full speed all the way. Most sprinters require a floating stage, 20 or 30 yards, before a final burst at the finish. Alike said he had little trou ble staying ahead of Alex Burl, former Colorado A&M runner, and Jim Lea, ex-Southern California, who pressed him. The two 9.4s I have run the past two weeks have been so easy 1 know I have more left," he said. "After some complicated figuring, I have concluded that with the same start and under the same conditions as the record 220, I could run the 100 in 9.1. "After nil," he says, referring to a possible 9-flat, "a tenth of a second is not much." Mike, who probably will be one-man Trinidad team in the Olympics, has done little speed work this year. "I'm bound to im prove with work," he says. Akins to Box 'Hec' Tonight ST. LOUIS If) Sixth-ranked Virgil (lloneybenr) Akins can land a bout with welterweight champion Johnny Saxton If he overcomes a habit of missing his Dig chances and defeats Hector Constance in a 10-round fight Wednesday night. Saxton is looking around for op ponents before he gives Carmen Hnsilio n return crack at the title. Akins has all the equipment to make a champion. He is a eood boxer and good hitter, but often has lacked fire. The St. Louis fighter also has a hometown jinx to overcome.

Then Santec's only redress would be an appeal to the AAU Hoard of Governors, the supreme power in the organization.

Eight wrestlers started, but were eliminated one by one as they were tossed over Ihe top ropes. The big and burly Godoy picked up Chenc to dump him over the east ropes but the clever Chene pulled Godoy with him. Chene landed on his back on the ring apron with Godoy on top, but it was Godoy who landed on the arena floor; first.

Louisville Next Games Set For Thursday Night By ED WILKS NEW YORK tfl-Dayton's top- seeded Flyers are still alive in the National Invitation Basketball Tournament only, says Coach Tom Blackburn, because of an act ot God." By the grace of God and that lousy foul shooting of Xavier's in the first half. That's the only rea son we'll be around for the semi finals tomorrow night." There wasn't much else that would explain how the Flyers managed to outlast the Muske teers from Cincinnati 72-68 in last night's quarter-final game. Third- seeded St. Joseph's of Philadelphia made it more easily into the semifinals. With a second half spurt, they beat Seton Hall 74-65'in the first game of the aiaa ison Square Garden twin bill. Dayton vs. St. Francis Dayton, a three-time' runner-up and never a champ in four previ ous NIT attempts, now faces St. Francis of Brooklyn, the Cinderel la team. St. Jbseph's opposes second-seeded Louisville in Thurs H.iv nipht's semifinals. The championship game will bej Saturday. Xavier, which twice lost to Day ton during the regular season, wasn't given much chance against the Flyers, particularly after lead ing scorer Dave Piontek was chucked off the squad for missing a 3:45 a.m. bed check Sunday. But the Musketeers, looking like midgets beside Dayton's starting five who average around 6-6, were fired sky high. With 6-6 Frank Tartaron and Hank Schmidt as the "big" men, Xavier led by 8 after 10 minutes and was ahead 32-29 at the inter mission. What's more, they out bounded the Daytons topped by seven-foot Bill Uhl 32-31 in the first half and were only three short of the Flyers' 57 for tht game. .' Too Much Pressure "Maybe that's evidence of what beat us," said Xavier Coach Ned Wulk. "Maybe we were up too high for the game. You can let off tha pressure under the boards but it gqts you at the foul line." St. Joseph's, a club that prays before and after each game, found itself with 4 minutes gone in the second half and took the lead for good with a 16-2 tear that made it 55-44. Seton Hall went five minutes without a basket in that Hawk rally. National AAU Meet Starts at Denver Brightman Says 'Aro Pressure1 on Him to Resign SEATTLE (UP) Horace Albert (Al) Brightman insisted today "there was no pressure" involved in his resigning as head basketball coach at Seattle University. Still unanswered was the ques tion of why the coach whose Se attle U. teams won 180 victories against 68 defeats during his 8 year tenure stepped down from the job yesterday afternoon. The Rev. Robert Rebhahn, S.J., the school's athletic director, de nied Brightman's arguments on the sidelines at Corvallis last Sat urday with John Wooden, UCLA coach, precipitated the resignation. Brightman leaped off the bench and charged Wooden when the UCLA coach objected to the play of Ken Fuhrer as the two teams battled for third place in the west ern regional NCAA playoffs. Fa ther Rebhahn moved in and helped "There was no pressur c." Brightman said. "This is some thing I had planned for awhile. When I leave I want everyone here to know that it has been eight wonderful years. I have no com plaints." lie said he was in the market for a coaching job and suggested Steve Bclko, coach of Idaho State, as a "terrific guy" for Seattle University to land. Brightman said he was going to the college basketball coaches con vention in Chicago next week. Top-Seeded Clubs Get Mediocre Opposition DENVER un Top-seeded teams bowed into the 49th annual National AAU basketball tourna ment Wednesday against clubs thai advanced through the first round with rather unimpressive showings. Defending champion Bartlesville, Okla., Phillips 66crs had their first test against the Quantico, Va., Marine All-Stars who had to rally in the final four minutes to overcome Brownstown, Ind., Ma rion Kay Co., 61-61, Tuesday Second-seeded Peoria, 111., Cat erpillars ran into Pasadena, Calif., Mirror Glaze, 82-68 winner over the Army All-Stars. Alabama Is Darkhorse The toughest game for a seeded team sent favored Akron, Ohio, Goodyears against Mobile, Ala., Ada Oilers. The Mobile club is made up of seniors from this year's University of Alabama team that won the Southeastern Cgnforence championship. The Alabamans rallied in the closing minutes to overtake the fast-breaking U.S. Air Force All- Stars, 90-83. Rated the tourney dark horse, the Alabama five rode to victory on clutch shooting- hy Dick Guner and George Linn. Another top collection of colleg ians. Boulder, Colo., Luckett-Nix, tackled seeded Wichita Vickers TO SEE ACTION PHILADELPHIA (UP) Hal Rcinfeld, Temple co-captain who is recovering from a back injury, is expected to see action Thurs day night when the Owls play Iowa in the semi-final round of the NCAA Basketball Tournament at Evanston, III. Oilers. The Luckett-Nix club, a finalist last year, has another ar ray of senior standouts from Rocky Mountain colleges. They won their first round test from Arkansas State Teachers of Conway, 89-56.
