Salem, Oregon. Thursday, March 21, 1957 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL Jayhawks Fear Ball -Control Tactics of Dons Friday Page 2 Section 4 Kansas to Be in Top Shape for USF Five Woolpert Called One of Best Coaches LAWnENCE, Kan. (UP)-Coach Dick Harp said today his Kansas Jayhawks would bo "ready and in tho best possible shape" to meet San Francisco Friday "but if we can't set the tempo, then we'll get beat. Harp, looking forward to meet ing the defending national cham pions in an NCAA semi-final game in Kansas City Friday, said "San Francisco is the type of team that it takes to beat us a ball con trol club with a good defense." On top of that, Harp said "Phil Woolpert of San Francisco is one of the very finest coaches in bas ketball. If anyone knows how to control (Willi Chamberlain it should be Woo!pcrt-he had (Bill) Russell for three years. Harp said he felt that Kansas definitely "jelled" as a six-man team in the second half against Oklahoma City in the regional at Dallas Saturday, won by Kansas 81-61. "Our boys were a little upset that every one was saying we were a one-man team," Harp said. "They played that second half very well and proved once again that we aren t just a one man team. "If we get behind against San Francisco, it will put a lot 01 pros sure on our boys to get back into the game." he added, "but other wise we should do all right." Players Tall, But There 's No Limit Time Was When Center of 6-3 Was Goon NEW YORK, (UP) The word from Taps Gallagher today is that the sky Is not the limit in college basketball. The sky to which Taps refers is (he supposed peak both physically and mechanically which the game has reached in this era. And Gal lagher, whose coaching genius raised Niagara tip among the round ball greats, (eels that this Is just the beginning. "Twenty years ago when I or dered equipment for my squads," he points out as an example, "the most predominant size shoes were nines and a half. Today I have one kid who wears that size and the average is size 11. But there are more kids with size 13 shoes than there are any other single size." Belter Dirts Now Taps attributes some of this to vitamins and better diets but also to the natural processes of the centuries in which people con stantly are increasing in size. "In 1924, I heard it said that we had reached a physical peak, Gallagher continued. "Our center was six feet, three inches tall and he was a goon. Each school had one big fellow who stood about six feet, three or (our inches. They were regarded as monsters. To day that's just a run of the mill size." It is interesting, in view of Gal lagher s assertion that today s cal ibre of play is the greatest ever, that he still classes Max Posnack, a St. John's player of the very early 30's, as the best basketball player he ever saw. Lots Of Good Ones "It's difficult to say who were the greatest of all time because there were so many good ones and also that before 1930 we didn't have much chance to see all the good players in the various sec tions," he explains. But they couldn't hardly come any belter than Posnack, who could do everything, and some of the others who stand out in my mind are such as George Mikan, Tom Gola, Rollic Minson of Rrig- Vnnn r.rnnn nnrt Hirlr llickctts." Yet, Gallagher insists, all of them may be shoved into limbo by the players of the future. They're Both First-Year Champions n ) Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain, Kansas' 7-foot All-American basketball player who leads his team Into the semifinal round of the NCAA Friday night, kneels beside his coach, Dick Harp. Both are first year men. Harp's Jayhawks won the Big Seven title before heading into the NCAA play offs. They play San Francisco. (AP Wife-photo) Less Free Throwing Seen Pirate 'Paul Bunyan' Talks And Performs Equally Well By MILTON KICIIMAN United Press Sports Writer FORT MYERS, Fla. (UP)-By far the most fabulous rookie of the apring is Dick (Shotgun) Stuart, a Paul Bunyan In Pittsburgh flan nels who clouted 66 homers last ecason, hit one ball 610 feet and makes Dizzy Dean sound like a aphinx by comparison. So refreshingly cocky and artic ulate is the big, 200-pound out fielder about his accomplishments with Lincoln of the Western League last season and about what he can do In the big leagues that Pirate Manager Bobby Bra gan had to advise him to case up. He Won't Stop Here's a sampling of some of Stuart's comments: "How much does Ted Williams make? A hundred thousand! lleck, I'm not gonna slop there." "I don't see any reason why 1 shouldn't make this ball club. 1 drove in 151 runs last year which is about the same total all three Pittsburgh outfielders kn o c k c d In." "Yeah, 1 hit a ball 610 leet In Pueblo last year. 1 got inlo the ball pretty good. Thai mo icci is ff accurate. They measured It." : In a recent exhibition game : against the Phillies, the right- handed hitting Stuart blasted n'fj liomcr oil lirunny iniiiuii.-i . iiun to Ihe game, someone in the Hands offered K to any Pirate player who hit a homer. Where's The Fiver? First thing Stuart did when Vragan substituted another player lor him was to come into the stands, still in his uniform, and inquire: ' Where's the guy who offered the live bucks?" h.uart demonstrated his power aain Tuesday when he blasted a two-run homer more tlutn 4(KI UtI over the crntcr Held lenec oil vel nan Art Fowler to give Ihe Pi rales their winning runs in a fi-4 victory over Cincinnati. At 24, Small has put in lour seasons in pro ball ami there is considerable doubt in Ihe niinils o( the Pirnles whether he is ready lor the majors yet. Chances are he'll ho sent down again, but a lot of people will be rooting for him to come hark.

(UP)-Col- lcgc basketball today appears headed toward less free throwing. The nation's lop coaches con vened here to discuss rules changes for the game and top item on the list was the disliked one-and-onc free throw system. Reports Irom a Rules Commit tee mcoting was that most coaches arc unhappy with the cur rent rules, and would like to switch to a system tried on an experimental basis this past sea son in the Rig Ten.' Under the Big Ten system, the one-and-one docs not apply to the first six fouls in each half. But outside of that lone conference, fouled player trudged to the line in most cases knowing that if he could make his first shot, lie would get a "bonus" try. The coaches meeting opens offi cially today with the Rules Com mittee making its report at 1:50 p.m. The rules will be discussed officially at three different ses sions before coming up for a final vote at 3:30 p.m. Friday The coaches, some 350 to 400 strong, do not make the rules but merely make recommendations to the National Rules Committee which opens its meeting here Sun- Spri'g Has Spru'g! j you don't believe it. . . lookout your window eeksl My lawn needs cutting already!

WEDNESDAY'S FIGHTS ' By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TOKYO Leo Espinosa, 118, Philippines, outpointed Masakazu Otsuka, 118, Japan, 12 Carolina, Spartans To Clash 2 Kansas Losses Were to Slow Play Teams KANSAS CITY U) - "We play a fine San Francisco team Friday for a chance of getting a shot at the championship." That was about as far as Dick Harp, completing his first season as head coach of the Kansas Jay hawks, would go in answer to the question: How do you think your team will lare in the NCAA tournament? Harp, who succeeded the famed Dr. F.C. (Phog) Allen as Kansas coach, admits he has one of the greats of the game in All-America Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain, 7-foot sophomore from Philadel phia. All Are AU-Americans 'But let me warn you, when you come up to the NCAA finals all of the opposition is All Amer ica," Harp said. "And remember the two games we lost this sea son were to teams of the same type as San Francisco." Harp, a former Kansas star, was referring to Iowa State, which beat his team in early season, 39 37, and Oklahoma A&M, which took the Jayhawks, 56-54. . "San Francisco has a great coach (Phil Woolpert) aj'd the Dons are schooled in the line de tails of the game," Harp offered. "They know howi to control the game and are superb defensive ly." Iowa State and Oklahoma A&M each concentrated on ball control and slow play to upset the Kan sans, rated No. 2 nationally. Kansas and San Francisco share the semifinal program Fri day night with North Carolina, voted the nation's No. 1 team. and Michigan State. North Car olina and Michigan State open the show. A capacity crowd of 10,500 is assured. The winning teams meet for the championship Saturday night, fol lowing the consolation tilt between the semi-final losers.
