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 Crusaders, last season's
NIT champions, tallied 89 points
Wednesday in downing Bradley
89-81, breaking the Sugar Bowl
team scoring mark of 84 points
.set by Kentucky in 1951. Notre
Dame downed Lcyola of the
South, host team, 66-45, to move
"into the finals against the Cru
saders. The combined Holy-Cross-Bradley
score, 170 points, broke
the game scoring mark of 160
points in a regulation game
which the Crusaders helped ring
up in defeating Tulane, 81-79,
in 1948.

before Coshow went on his one
man spree. Tony Vlastelica, who
haunted the Huskies all night
with his hook shot, dropped one
of them in with seven seconds

out the clock.
Parsons with 26 points led all
scorers and Vlastelica was high

TALENT QUINT ENTERTAINS
POWERS THURSDAY, FRIDAY
Talent Talent high has swept
to triumph in eight basketball
games this season but its un
blemished record meets a serious
challenge tonight and again on
Friday night. 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. '

Areata led 15 to 4 at the end

WOOD'S IN
Iuka, Ill.-j(U.R) H. H. 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.
Donovan Has
Inside Track
On PCL Post
By SCOTT BAILLIE
San Francisco (U.R) Jerry
Donovan, president of the Class
C California State league, ap
parently had the inside track to
day for the Pacific Coast league
presidency.
. 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
