Region Cage Meet Starts At Corvallis Corvallis, Ore. (U.R) The court Cowboys from Wyoming, 10th top basketball team in the nation, were briefed by Coach Ev Shelton Friday as they pre pared for action in the western regional NCAA cage playoffs Friday night. Wyoming, the Skyline confer ence champion, meets defense- minded Oklahoma City univer sity in the second game of a dou ble-header. UCLA winner of the Pacific Coast conference, plays independent Santa Clara in the first game. The Cowboys are favored to win the western regional and meet the winner of the Kansas City tournament for the western title. The winner of that game will then battle the eastern champion for the national crown. However, Coach Doyle Par- rack's Chiefs may offer conten tion to the Cowpokes. Oklahoma City had the second best defens ive record in the nation during the 1951-52 season, holding Tex as Christian to 41 points and Oklahoma A&M to only 38. UCLA could prove the sur prise team. The Bruins, with an unimpressive 20-10 mark, fin ished the season strongly and up set highly-regarded Washington in the PCC playoffs. Santa Clara, which produced an average of 61.5 points per game while recording a 15-9 seasonal mark, already holds a seven-point win over UCLA this year.
