Washington Edges Beavers 58-57 in Overtime Hassle Seattle (U.R) Tippy Dye, Washington basketball coach, has always had a lot of faith in forward Jim Coshow and last night the 6-foot, 6-inch hook shooter came through in the clutch. Coshow canned a one-hander and added a foul shot in over time play for the three points that gave the Huskies a 58-57 victory over Oregon State in the second game of a pre-con-ference Northern Division twin bill. Washington State took Idaho 64-56 in the opener. Dean Parsons, Washington center, set the stage for Cos hcw's act when he stole the ball in the dying seconds and raced for a lay -in that knotted the score at 55-55 at the end of reg ulation time and sent 9,000 fans into a dither. The Huskies stalled out more Sugar Bowl Records Fall New Orleans (U.R) The favored Holy Cross Crusaders, who broke one Sugar Bowl record and aided in breaking another, faced only Notre Dame tonight before it couldl walk away with their second consecu tive championship trophy.

The Bulldogs are host to the Powers Cruisers. It's hardly a pun to say that Powers is powerful this year. Its record on the coast so far this season provides the testimony. The Cruisers have laced Port Or ford 74 to 26, Brookings 55 to 36,'Gold Beach 52 to 24, Bandon 65 to 41 and Myrtle Point 80 to 52. LaSalle Zone Beats UCLA New York (U.R) LaSalle will not hesitate to wrap All America Tom Gola in a zone defense once again in an effort to beat Duquesne for the Holi day Basketball festival champ ionship on New Year's Eve. Coach Ken Loeffler of the Explorers concedes that could be the formula for beating the de fending champion Dukes with their terrific twosome of Dick Ricketts and Si Green. ' Loeffler frankly declared that the zone defense, scorned in many parts of the country, was the key factor in LaSaJle's 85 77 triumph over UCLA in the tournament semifinals Wednes day night at Madison Square garden. Easier Duquesne, with Ricketts set ting a new Garden free throw shooting record 19-for-19 in a 39-point performance, had' a much easier time trimming Day ton, 90-75. The setback was Day ton's first in nine games. Loeffler ordered his team into the zone defense at 10:15 of the second half after Gola had. pick ed up four personal fouls. La Salle,. down 12 points to UCLA I in the first half, and behind 64- 68 at that' point, turned the switch in strategy into a victor ious rally. The Bruins could score only four field goals the rest of the game, "while LaSalle broke out of the zone for the goals which earned it a berth in the final Friday night.

Chee ley, a farmer, recently celebrat ed his 91st birthday by splitting his winter's supply of firewood. Powers, like Talent, was a state B tourney participant last year, taking third place while the Bulldogs lost in consolation finals. Both clubs have a number of performers back from last sea son. Cruisers Tall The Cruisers will have a big height advantage over the Bull dogs with several 6-fobters in the line-up. Talent , has nary a 6-footer. Tallest Cruiser is Rich ard Spitznass, 6-4 Vi, probable starting center. Dean Warner and Gary Hess, both 6-2 .are likely forwards with Gary Brady, 5-1 lVfc, and Bill Good man, 5-9, at guards. Goodman is a junior and the others seniors. George Zickefoose, a forward, and J. Lloyd Wood, a guard, both 5-11, are Talent's tallest probable' starters. Jim McAbee, center is 5-10. Gordon Thoreson, who may start at a guard is 5-7. It's among Mel Wallace, 5-8, Ray Weinhold and Harold Bartol at the other forward. : ? - Talent will be without the services of Jack Barrett, a regu lar forward for, perhaps, the biggest portion of the season. Barrett hurt his knee in a game last week and underwent sur gery today. It's possible he'll be back with the Bulldogs in mid February. Talent and Eagle Point jay- vees will be prelim foes tonight and the Bulldog freshmen will face the Ashland frosh in the Friday opener.

The PCL's board of directors yesterday set up a three - man committee to find a successor to Clarence (Pants) Rowland and stipulated they wanted a man from the San Francisco Bay re gion. Donovan, who played out field and first base in the Coast League for 11 years, has been mentioned prominently as a can didate for the post and his state league offices are in this city. , The Coast League is moving its offices here from Los An geles. Donovan loomed all the great er for the $17,000 a year job when the directors eliminated themselves from consideration and two other possibilities said they were not interested. Uninterested Those two were Leslie O' Connor, PCL attorney, and Ros coe (Torchy) Torrance, vice-president of the Seattle Rainiers. O'Connor told the directors he wanted to stay on as the league's counsel while Torrance said he preferred . to remain with" the Seattle club. Bill Starr, president of the San Diego Padres and acting president jf the PCL, announc ed that the selection committee would consist of chairman C. L. (Brisk) Laws, president and gen eral manager of the Oakland Oaks, Eddie Mulligan, president of the Sacramento Solons and Damon Miller, president and general manager of - the San Francisco Seals. This group supersedes a two man screening group which con sisted of Starr and Laws. - The vacancy was created De cember 16 when Rowland re signed "from the league to re turn to the Chicago Cubs as ex ecutive vice-president. McKay Objects To Neuberger Charge Portland U.R) Secretary of Interior Douglas McKay took is sue with Senator-elect Richard L. Neuberger yesterday over the condition of national parks. McKay, in an address to the ! Multnomah county chapter of the Oregon Republican Club, said, "Neuberger told a Chicago news conference the national parks 'have been allowed to de teriorate shamefully under the Republicans.'" He added, "There hasn't been much deter ioration in the two years the Re publicans have been in power. The big deterioration came in 20 years of Democratc administra tion." McKay said later he believed the parks would benefit from the planned national road pro gram since it would free other Interior Department money for parks improvement and main tenance. McKay advised Republicans not to "cry over spilled milk" as a result of the recent elections but to "let it.be a lesson" and to "go to work on organization." 4 Center Engineer Earns Promotion Camp White Joe W.
