Newspaper Page TextUCLA Upset Victim in At Corvallis (U.R The Univer sity of Wyoming Cowboys and Santa Clara Broncos won open ing games Friday in the play-off to determine the Far Western representative in the NCAA bas ketball finals. The Cowboys moved into the finals Friday night by defeating Oklahoma City University, 54- 48, while Santa Clara rolled over UCLA, the Pacific Coast con ference champion, 68-59. Wyoming, pre-toumament fa vorite, had little trouble with the Oklahoma City team, crip pled by the loss of two key play ers. Late Rally The Cowboys ran up a 41-25, lead early in the third quarter and then withstood a late rally by the Oklahomans. Don Pen well, Oklahoma's six foot, seven inch, center, Andy Likens and Ken Rose went to work to cut the lead to six points. At this point, Wyoming called time out, changed tactics and played strict ball control through the final four and one half min utes. During this time, Oklahoma City got hold of the ball only three times. Fight All Way In the opener, Santa Clara had to fight all the way to score its victory in a see-saw battle that saw the score tied at 35 35 in the third period. The turning point came in the last five minutes of the game when Jim Young, Santa Clara star forward who was held to four points in the first half, finally found the range and hit five field goals to put the Bron cos in front by 11 points.

He named Preacher Roe, Ralph Branca, Carl Erskine, Clem La bine and Chris Van Cuyk as the hurlers he will call upon in turn when the season opens April 15. ' "The jobs are theirs to hold, but they have won the first shot at them," Dressen said. "Of course, if they falter I'll put someone else in the starting ro tation. But before I do that, I'll give them every chance in the world to make good." Veterans Roe, Branca and Erskine are veterans while Labine and Van Cuyk never have spent a full sea son with the Dodgers. Roe was the leading percentage pitcher in the majors last season with a record of 22 and 3; Branca won 13 and lost 12 his biggest defeat coming in the final playoff game against the Giants while Erskine, working both as a starter and relief pitcher, won 16 while los ing 12. Labine who was called up from St. Paul in mid-season, but then suffered an injury which prevented him from pitching un til August won five and lost only one with the Dodgers. Van Cuyk spent most of the season at Mon treal, where he won 11 and lost four. Van Cuyk, a six-foot, six-inch left hander, beat out 12 other candidates for the fifth starting job, including the highly touted rookie, John Podres.

NCAA Tilt mention what kind of shape. Dick Finch, manager for the east gang, said he has a long list of substitutes and doesn't give the west group much chance. Insurrection Rumored About a week ago there was rumor of insurrection in the east side camp. Some of the men from the north end felt that they could field the best team right from their own area. Differences appear settled now. There is talk that the east siders feel they can recruit a team from the var ious ladies' shops that could easily lick the west side opposi tion. Of course the west side. will have one big advantage the referee. The arbiter will be the old favorite, Mail Carrier Virg Swanson. But Bill Gates' crew from west of the tracks has had its troubles. Last week Ken Ham- ner of Holland hotel was en trusted with the team's only ball. One of the players from Medford Ice and Storage company caught the casaba with his trusty ice pick. Ken unwit tingly took the ball to Dick Fanger of OK Rubber Welders. Dick is a member of the east side club. The west crew was afraid for a while to practice with the ball. Both sides predict surprise basketball but from rumors about town there is some doubt about the basketball part of strategy. fast ball, a good change up and good control. He's still weak in fielding his position, but he is improving and we'll continue working hard on him to correct nis iauns. Van Cuvk first was Virnnofit up in 1949 under Burt Shotton. Aer pixening a Drmiant tri umph over the Cardinals, how ever, he lost his next start he. cause of his failure to field bunts so Shotton kept him on the bench the rest of the season rather than expose his weakness around the league. When the big southpaw failed to show any im provement in 1950, Shotton sent him down to the minors. It was the same story under Dressen last year.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE Coin Machine Does Dry Cleaning Job Cleveland, O. (U.R) Amer ican small change has entered another million-dollar industry. The latest device was intro duced here and is called "vale teria," a machine that takes your dry cleaning, launders it, takes your money, then returns the clothing. The device resembles an ordi nary railroad station locker unit, except that at one end is a panel containing a telephone and a coin box. The telephone is con nected with the dry cleaners' of fice. You pick up the telephone, tell the operator what it is and when you want it back, and then deposit it in a locker designated by the girl. Inside the locker door which is opened automatically by the operator via a button operated from her switchboard is a re ceipt. Once inside, your job is done, except for returning later in the day to pay your money and get back your cleaned arti cles. The clothing is picked up by a deliveryman of the cleaning firm. Later he returns it to the "valeteria" to a specified locker.
