ed a lot of "experts" in the pro
cess, today were acclaimed the
United Press national college
basketball champions for the

Viciory String "Alive" .
The West Coast Dons' pros
pects were regarded so lightly
before the start of the cam
paign that not a single coach
mentioned them in the pre-sea-seon
sizeup of the race. But
"Woolpert's men, led by All-America
center Bill Russell, fooled
a host of basketball authorities.
San Francisco lost the third
game of the season, Dec. 11, by
a 47-40 score to UCLA and then
it ran off a string of 21 con
secutive victories that is still
"alive."
Although the coaches may
have misjudged San Francisco's
potential, they accurately pre
' dieted seven of the teams which
eventually finished among the
top 10. ' -
Here is a comparison of how
the coaches listed the teams in
their final ratings, and how they

Ball Crowds
To Increase,
Friclc Says
By UNITED PRESS
Both the major and minor
leagues will bask in the sunshine
of increased attendance during
the coming season, with the ma
jors each drawing "about 10 per
cent more to go well over the
8,000,000 mark, Commissioner
Ford Frick predicted today.
Andi now, the commissioner
added, it would be nice if the
long-suffering pitchers were giv
en a "break," too, by the return
of the "spit ball."
Frick made his forecast on
attendance as he stopped off at
the Philadelphia Phillies' camp
in Clearwater, Fla., on his tour
through the spring training sites
of all the major league clubs. He
also predicted a six-club pennant
race in the National league and
a three-club pennant race in the
American, but did not name the
teams.
Frick's major league forecast.
appeared fairly safe since the
National league drew 8,013,519,
while the American league just
missed Frick's figure with 7,
922,364. The shift of the Phila
delphia A's to Kansas City is ex
pected to provide the American
league with a sizable increase.
Frick said he would like to
see something done for the
pitchers because, at present, the
batters have "all the best of it"
in the rules. The return of the
"spit ball," he believes, would
be only doing what is right for
the hurlers.
Macias Favored
2-1 in Fight
With Songkitrat
San Francisco (U.R) Raul
Macias, the "Mighty Mouse" of
Mexico, should , be a 2-1 favor
ite when he steps into the ring
with Thailand's Chamrern Song
kitrat tomorrow night for their
12-round bantamweight "title"
bout.
Although the State of Calif
ornia has refused to recognize
the battle as a title fight, the
winner will receive the National
Boxing association's . champion
ship belt.
Pancho Rosales, Macias' man
ager, figures that his 117 pound
er' should knock out the Thai
police lieutenant "sometime af
ter the fifth round."
Al Silvani, Songkitrat's Am
erican trainer, said he had no
prediction to make on the fight.
"We'll let the other camp do
the talking," Silvani said.
There are a number of "firsts"
connected with the bout. It's
the first time two -fighters from
other countries have fought here
in a title sanctioned battle; it
will be the first topline ban
tamweight fight to be nationally
televised in this country.
Eugene, Corvallis
Seek AAU Title
Hermiston (U.R) Eugene and
Corvallis play tonight for the
Oregon state AAU basketball
title and the dubious honor of
meeting powerful Buchan's Bak
ers of Seattle for a berth in the
national AAU tournament at
Baker.
Eugene, represented by Mar
tin Sign, trounced Hermiston 65
56 and Corvallis, represented by
Alsea Lumber, trimmed the Con
don Elks, 64-43 in semi-final
rounds games here last night.
Buchan's won the Washington
title last night with a 104-69
win over Peshastin.
