KVAS Joins
State Group
Astoria (U.R) Radio station
KVAS, which transmitted a
"bootleg" broadcast of the state
class "B" high school basketball
tournament last week, has
joined the Oregon Broadcasters'
association, station manager L.
E. Parsons announced Friday.
Broadcast of the "B" tourna
ment had been banned by the
Oregon School Activities asso
ciation which said an experi
ment was being conducted to
see if it would improve attend
ance. The Broadcasters' association
had said that KVAS might be
denied access to the association
controlled class "A" tourney
broadcasts. However, after the
station joined the association it
was hooked up to the broadcasts
from Eugene.
A-l, A-2 Grid
Champions To Be
Decided in Fall
Eugene (U.R) The board of
control of the Oregon School
Activities association said Fri
day that the state prep football
playoffs will be continued next
fall with one major revision.
The board voted to retain the
class A-l championship grid
playoff but to conduct it apart
from an A-2 title playoff.
Thus, there will be an A-l
and an A-2 state champion in
football.
Additionally, the board voted
to continue the class B 11-man
football playoff, but the class B
six-man playoff was not dis
cussed.
Action by the board removed
a major objection to the play
offs too many games.

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. The Broncos, playing their
best of a hot-and-cold style,
could provide formidable oppo
sition to anybody.
he Winners of Friday night's
games play Saturday, while the
losers hook up in a consolation
game.-
