One man can't do it . . . partic ularly when there have been com plete scouting reports on his team and all the chips arc down in a major national tournament. That much different than a Christmas tourney clambake. The Chieftains' loss in the Na tional Invitation tourney, 83-68, to unseeded St. Bonavcnture was hu miliating and also must have slartcd the rest of the Seattle area fans wondering just which was their best team.

Portland university, for example, topped Oregon and Oregon State and battled Seattle to a near stand still, but was brushed aside handily in the NAIA. The Buchan Bakers, national AAU champions, were walloped a couple of times by Lutes and said their balance and shooting would match Bavlor & Co. .

One of the richest gold mines in these parts is going un tapped. Seattle won hie only title up this year the best publicity. If the 'no-draw' NCAA tourney at Corvallis last week was the last for Gill Coliseum for a number of years, it's going to leave, quite a void in Oregon basketball. Six years is a long time , . and a tre mendous amount of work on the part of the Oregon Stale staff for an event that realized no money for the school. Corvallis Gave the XCA.4 a Setting There are many memories dating back to a time when a cleancut big kid by the name of Ken Sears looked so good for Santa Clara m outshining Ev Shclton's favored tall Wyoming crew. Last weekend, as in previous years, there were six or seven broad cast originations irom all over and writers from every major sports center in the West. They had gripes about this and that and didn't al ways have a good ball game or much local competition on the floor.
