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.

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

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

it was the aptly-named Upset

it was "washed-up" Jimmy Brad

Centre College and Alvin (Bo)

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

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.

Medford Rifle and Pistol

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

Virginia -Plans Artmobile
To Exhibit Masterpieces
Richmond, Va. 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

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?"
