Chieftains 'Flunk' Their Big Test
As was predicted in some basketball quarters, the very high-
i.j coin, rhioftain foil flat on their faces the first time they ran
into a top ball-hawking outfit that
solid defense.
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.
In sharp contrast to Seattle's
show was the great play of Pacific
Lutheran in the NA1A. They lost
the title in the semi-finals by a
point in the last nine seconds to

'Small Colleges' Could Hold Their Own
This was "small college," true, but the best of the small ones can
take the floor with ail but few. 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. . In the playoffs, PLC had an easier time with
Uonzaea than the Chieftains had with the same Bulldogs.

Kmart the Huskies would have been something, some say wnsningiun
uill have such a combination next year when a couple of highly touted
freshmen join the varsity but they'd sooner have had the amazing
Curtis.
All three fieuro to he much stronger next year but don't look for
any two to meet nn the same basketball floor. Apparently money isn't
iverything. 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.
But they at their cvnical selves down in one ol the biggest and best
basketball structures in the land and that always made this writer
very proud and provided the number one memory.
