4 osu PORTLAND (UPI) - Oregon State's advance to the semifi nals of the NCAA basketball playoffs was the state's top sports story In 1963, according to a poll of sports editors. The Beaver bid, which fell short when Slats Gill's men were trounced twice, won by nearly a two to one margin over the runnerup story Port land's bid for the Olympics and the proposed Delta Park com plex. Other balloting was close among a wide variety of stories with more than 30 getting votes. Here's how the sports editors aw the top 10: The Bulletin, Friday, December 27, 1963 A LOOK AT SPORTS Beattie notes team's progress Bulletin From across the stormy At lantic comes word concerning the controversial fortunes of Coach Bob Beattie's United States Alpine Olympic ski team, In a "coach's report," Beat- tie paints a not-too-bad picture in spite of tne setback tne Am ericans took in the Olympic race seeding!. Concerning this Beattie from yal d isere, france, saia: "Much, has been said about our points since they regulate our seeding position in the pre Olympic races as well as dur ing the Olympics themselves. Racers are put in groups of 15 and it is generally agreed that you have as many chances to win as you have racers in the first group. The problem we have with our points which are compiled on the basis of last season's results comes from the penalty points attached to our American races. Penalty Points "Most of the European races did not receive penalty points and ones attached to ours are so severe that our people have no chance to be seeded even to the level they established dur ing the 1962 season here in Eur ope. An example is that Werner is ranked 21st in slalom on the current list and last year we had three people seeded better than tnat. "The United States Ski Assoc iation has filed a very strong protest through the Internation al Ski Federation. Also, Dr. Amos Little who is our repre sentative on the International Downhill Slalom Council had previously indicated his displea sure with the seeding list. In addition I talked to Robert Faure from Lyon, France, who is in charge of making up the list and he informed me that nothing would be done to cor rect it before Innsbruck." Committees Mutt Contldor Beattie said that this means he and his Olympians must re quest each race committee to consider the American case. He said, "I am confident that my associates with the other coun tries, who have been so fair in the past, will work with me to see that we are treated fair ly. In the meantime, he says, the American racers are thinking only in terms of winning and are not worrying about the seedlngs. "This is why they are great, Beattie said, "and this Is the attitude which will win in the end." Training Good Beattie had some other com ments. The training in France is progressing well. Our Olym pians are getting what they need despite average snow con ditions. Beattie disclosed that t h e Americans this past week were able to set six non-stop runs per day on the three mile downhill course. "These long runs," he said, "In the downhill position give us a chance to really learn to relax In downhill as well as to put the final touches to our physical condition. . .1 am hav ing a difficult job tiring the team members because they are In such excellent condi tion."

PREP SKIERS READYING On the local ski scene, Bend Athletic Director Dick Geser pointed out today that the local prep skiers are organized as a ski club, not as a full member of the athletic program. The club, "SkiBenders," is under the co-advisorship of Forbes Rogers and John Barton. It was agreed at a recent meeting of ski mentors that teams would be composed of five members each. Schools may have more than one team. but only one may be of less than five members. Teams may be co educational. A team's scoring meld will be based on the top three finishers of the five-member squad. Geser and Barton explained today that two of the ski meets that the "SkiBenders" shall participate in this winter are scored on the assumption that teams will be co - educational. However, individual results (ac cording to sex, age, etc.) will be kept in addition. One of the meets, the Catlin Gable of Portland invitational, is not a co - educational affair. Scores here are according to a girls' squad and a boys' team. Denver goalie leads in stats By United Preaa IntenwHoMl Denver's goalkeeper Al Mil lar chalked up two shutouts in four tries last week so that be today dominated official West ern Hockey League statistics. Miliar now boasts a 2.41 av erage or more than a half goal per game better than Jim Mc Leod of Los Angeles who holds second place with a 3.00 mark. Seattle Totem defenseman Larry Zeidel managed to pick up seven minor penalties, one major penalty and one five minute match penalty and has now spent a league-leading 113 penalty minutes In 31 games. Seattle s Guyie newer con tinues to top the scoring statis tics with 52 points, based on 11 goals and a league-leading 41 assists. Phil Malonev of Vancouver and Lou Jankowski of Denver are second with 45 each and Jankowski's 21 goals are tops in that department. All teams were idle Monday night and also get Christmas Eve off.

Steve Pauly, who also was a Ring magazine likes Gasseous over di NEW YORK .(UPI)-Unbeat-en Cassius Marcellus Clay, box ing's golden gasser, defeated heavyweight champion Sonny Llston in their first head-to-head con Lest for the Ring Ma gazine's title "fighter of the year" that publication an nounced today. Despite Liston's remarkable repeat first-round knockout over ex-champion Floyd Patterson, Listen finished second to young Clay in the ring;Staff's voting because of the lively lift that Cassius gave the fight game ls he larruped and laughed his way to the challenger's role. Clay also was credited with participating in the "fight of the year" because of his victory over Doug Jones on March 13 before a turnaway crowd of 18,732 at Madison Square Gar den as he "drove Doug out of his path to a heavyweight championship shot" in their thrilling and controversial bout. Despite those accolades for the "Louisville Lip," the maga zine admitted frankly "Clay is not considered likely to win the championship from Liston at Miami Beach on Feb. 25." In Clay's other two fights this year, he stopped uiarne row ell (3) at Pittsburgh on Jan. 24 and climbed off the canvas on June 18 to knock out England's Henry Cooper (5). Champion Liston was credit ed with participating in the "round of the year that 2:10 of the first round in which he knocked out ex-champion Pat terson at Las Vegas, Nev., July 22. It proved that Sonny's title - winning first - round kayo over Patterson in 1962 was no fluke. Seals push reeling Bucks into cellar PORTLAND.

Counts scored 48 points Thurs day nignt as ne personally de molished Louisiana State 87-57 in a first-round game. It put the Beavers into the semifinals of this eight-team tournament Saturday night against Colorado State, which beat Iowa 61-56 in the first game Thursday night.
