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

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." Beattie made no special men

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.

Despite Liston's remarkable

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

and climbed off the canvas on
June 18 to knock out England's
Henry Cooper (5).
Champion Liston was credit

knocked out ex-champion Pat
