UEDFOSDJTBIBUinr IB 8 Caterpillar Five Hip Kansas 62-60 in Final Of Olympic Tourney New York U.B No sooner had the United States Olympic basketball -team been selected than "it was hailed as "a much better team" than the U. S. aouad which swept every game in winning the '48 Olympic title. "This will be a truly great team," predicted Coach Forrest (Phog) Allen or Kansas, wnu will be assistant coach of the Olympic squad because his Jay- hawks finished runner-up m me Olvmnic tournament. "The 1948 squad, with the Phillips Oilers and that fine Kentucky crew, were a good team," said Allen. "But this Year's team will have much more nower much more all- around 'power. It will have evervthina terrific height in Clyde Lovellette, Marcus Frieb- erger ,and Bob Kuriana ana great shooting." Lovellette Human Allen made his observations after his Kansas team had drop- ued a 62 to 60 thriller to the. Peoria. HI., Caterpillars in the Olympic finals Tuesday night thus giving the title ot "best amateur team in the nation" to the Cats, who already wore the AAU crown. It was a game that showed Kansas' amazing Lovelette to be human, after all. The 6 foot, 9 inch power tow er, who ripped out every page in the record book this season, had the game in his big hands with just 20 seconds to go. With . the score tied at 60 to 60, he stole the ball from Frieberger of the Cats and went in for an easy lay-up. He blew it. Ball Bounds Off It was incredible, and Clyde was as much astonished as the crowd of 6,234 " at Madison Square Garden when the ball bounded off the hoop. The alert Ron Bontempts snared the ball and whipped it the length of the court to Howie Williams, who swished in a jumping push shot with just five seconds to play. Lovellette wound up as high' scorer with 22 points, while Wil liams had 18 for the Cats. The Cats led 31 to 21 at the half. In the Olympic consolation the Phillips Oilers trounced LaSalle, 92 to 58. The complete Olympic squad will be made up of Lovelette, Charley Hoag, Bill Hougland, John Keller, Dean Kelley, Bob Kenney, and Bill Lienhard of Kansas, Bontemps, Freiberger, Williams, Frank McCabe, and Dan Pippin of the Cats, and Kurland and Glasgow of the Oilers. Orange Trackmen Enter Willamette Relay Meet Corvallis Four Oregon State College trackmen who won firsts in the Willamette relays last year will be on hand to defend their titles in the mammoth Salem show Saturday. The defending titlists - are Merv Brock, 100-yard kingpin; Lyle Dickey, senior pole .vault champion; Duane Eby, winner of the senior shotput in 1951; and Ralph Sutton, novice college javelin victor. Of the four, Brock and Dickey are probably most familiar to Willamette valley sports fans. Both are northern division champions in their respective events and both are holders of all-time Beaver marks. Dickey cleared 14 feet last season, while Brock's best mark in the century was :09.6. LENHARDT SHINES Houston, Tex. (U.R) Don Lenhardt, former Brownie and White Sox outfielder, looms as the logical successor- to Ted Williams as the Boston Red Sox' left-fielder if Williams returns to active duty in the Marine Air Corps. Lenhardt, a .265 hitter last season, sparked the Red Sox to a 4 to 2 victory over the Shreveport Sports Tuesday when he blasted a two-run home run off former Big Leaguer Bud Lively in the fifth inning. Vera Stephens followed with another home run.

'(International) Sport Parade OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sport Writer New York (U.R) Bo McMil lin is gone Tuesday but he left a memory which will last as long as sports. The blue-eyed man with the crown of silver hair accomplish ed many memorable feats dur ing the 57 years allotted him. But the one "which flames the brightest was a product of the days of his youth. In sports, the upset is the life blood of competition, in racing, it was the aptly-named Upset beating Man O'War. In boxing it was "washed-up" Jimmy Brad dock, the Cinderella man, win ning the heavyweight title from Max Baer. Gridiron's Greatest And in football it was tiny Centre College and Alvin (Bo) McMillin humbling mighty Harvard. That has been the grid iron's greatest ever since the Praying' Colonels turned the trick at Cambridge on a bright October afternoon in 1921. Gruff "Uncle Charley" Moran had hand-picked the candidates who reported for football prac tice at the little school in Dan ville, Ky., that fall. He worked them hard. He held long, arduous sessions and at night discussed grand strategy at Miss Lizzie Shears' boarding house, a mecca for students, railroad men and a few others who rarely showed Miss Lizzie the color of their money. Not Too Confident The country boys weren't too confident when they arrived at Cambridge. The proud crimson never had lost an intersectional game and several Centre players admitted they were "scared blue." That's when quarterback McMillin, a blithe lad with a wide smile, snorted: "Don t worry about a thing, fellows. They put their pants on one leg at a time just like we do." . -J Later, after a scoreless first half, it was this same confident OPEN. TONIGHT TO 9:00 1 ... - . 8F5 q Week?

It made Centre on the grid iron, and contributed football's most storied upset. It also moved Walter Camp to name an "out lander," McMillin,. on his al ways east-dominated All-Ameri-can team for the first time. Saga Weil-Known McMillin's personal saga since then is well known. How he coached at Centenary, at Gen eva in Pennsylvania and at Kan sas State before he went "back home again to Indiana" to be come a coaching institution. He was coach of the year in 1945 when he led his "po l'il boys" to the Big 10 championship and later he moved on to the pro' ranks with the Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles. He knew last fall that the game, for him, was almost over. Now cancer has claimed him, just as it did such other sports figures as Babe Ruth, Tiny Bonham and Steve Sundra. Local Rifle Team Gains Section Toga Medford Rifle and Pistol club's four-man rifle team No. I has been declared winner of the sectional match here last week-end, members of the club reported today. The quartet tied with Sub limity in overall score. Each had 1541. However, word re ceived yesterday from Nation al Rifle association headquar ters, Washington, D.C., said that the Medfordites gained the sectional title on the basis of a better total in firing from the standing position. Medford's four tabulated 369 from the standing posi tion to 353 by Sublimity. Members of the Medford club feel that their team has a good chance this year for a high national ranking. Two years ago a Medford team was champion in Oregon and fifth in the United States with 1533 score. On the Medford team last Sunday were Frank Rush, Harry Heidenreich, Lew Con ger and D. J. Bolton.

U.R) Vir ginia's - art masterpieces may soon desert the stuffy atmos phere of museums and take to the countryside. The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond has announc ed plans to construct a $20,000 "artmobile.' V Basically, the artmobile -will be a trailer for a tractor-truck. Inside the trailer,' museum-type walls and built-in lighting units will create the effect of an up-to-date gallery. The trailer will' have double sides.- The inner ones will be used for hanging pictures, while the hinged outer sides may be raised to provide shelter for visitors. To Inform Public At the back of the gallery-on-wheels .there will be a counter where the driver-curator can in form visitors about. the paintings and sell postcards, and catalogs. He will also be able to keep an eye on what's going on in the gallery by means of a periscope. A "secret" door will allow him immediate access to the main BASEBALL TUESDAY EXHIBITIONS Boston (N) 10.

Generally, the nomadic mu seum will connect with local power supplies to operate its lighting, sound and ventilation systems. . It will be equipped with a gasoline-operated genera tor for use when such local pow er isn't available. The artmobile will travel about the Old Dominion, stopping at small towns and cities which have no art galleries. Exhibits Difficult Since 1936, the Virginia Mu seum has been circulating 70 "packaged" art exhibits. Three difficulties were discovered in this program. 1. It was not always easy to find suitable local places to ex hibit art objects. 2. There is always the danger that art objects may 'be dam aged in shipping. 3. The art works need to be interpreted by experts to the public. Officials at the Virginia Mu seum believe the artmobile is the answer. They point out: "There are bookmobile and bloodmobiles. Why not an art-mobile?" BROTHERS GET CAR BACK Fort Worth, tex. (U.R) Two brothers reported their car had been stolen and asked if police cared if the brothers searched for it. Police said O.K. Bob and Bill Tolsdorf searched the city for two hours, finally spotting the stolen car.
