Br ROBERT W. TALIAFERRO
United Prm Correspondent
Birmingham, Ala. (U.P.) For
mer solicitor Arch B. Ferrell,
reputed "legal brains" of a Phe
nix City sex and gambling syn
dicate, will follow convicted ex
deputy Albert Fuller to trial for
the murder of crime foe Albert
Patterson.
Fuller, the burly two gun chief
' deputy sheriff already facing a
seven-year prison term for ac
cepting bribes to protect a bor
dello In the notorious sin city,
was found guilty of first degree
murder by an all-male jury late
Friday.
The jury, after its six hours
nd 40 minutes of deliberation.
recommended mercy and this au
life imprisonment Instead of
electrocution.
Vol Fraud Acquittal
Ferrell, 38, a tense, close
mouthed former prosecuting at
torney during Phenix City's
crime era, at the same time was
acquitted in another trial on a
charge of switching 600 votes in
Birmingham in a futile attempt
to defeat Patterson's nomination
as state attorney general.
Chief state prosecutor Cecil
Deason said this acquittal would
have no effect on plans to try
Ferrell within a few weeks on
a charge of murdering Patter
son after the long time crusader
against Phenix City vice won
tomatically fixed his sentence at the nomination despite the al
leged rote fraud
The state's case against Fuller
was built around testimony of
Lamar Reid, former county Dem
ocratic Executive Committee
chairman at Birmingham, who
turned state witness after being
indicted on the same charge.
Complacent During Trial
Fuller managed to fight back
tears and resume the outward
manner of friendly complacency
which he maintained during the
29 days of the longest criminal
trial in Alabama history.
"I still say I'm innocent in
nocent all the way," he said as
he was led under heavy guard
from the courtroom three floors
from Ferrell's trial room.

Argentina, host and unofficial

Cabbies Edge Cow Girls
in Hilarious Fray Friday
When men's and women's
quintets tussle on the basketball
court, it's just like real life. Men
go out of their way to be gentle
men and the gals take advantage
of it if they can.
Action followed that theme
Friday night as the Yellow Cab,
independent team of Medford,
played host to the colorful Texas
Cow Girls, barnstorming profes
sionals in a hilarious evening at
St. Mary's school gym here.
Some fine basketball talent
was displayed during the eve
ning but entertainment was the
feature and even scoring took
somewhat of a back seat as the
casaba cuties from the Long
horn state showed their skill,
their charms . and their laugh
provoking antics. The Cabbies
were stoogies for most of the
humor but joined in the fun and
even helped these guests out.
They had as much fun as the
girls and the meager audience
and they had some consolation
in the final score of 58 to 55 in
their favor.
Wiles and Smiles
Lacking the height and stam
ina of Cabbies, the Cow Girls
had to use their wiles and smiles
and a variety of other tactics.
Occasionally they outsmarted
the Car Jockeys with some
clever passing but they got some
of their best advantages with
hair-pulling, shirt grabbing and
general holding and hanging on.
They even put hands over the
Cabbies eyes when the Medford
man had the ball.
Gentlemanly referees V i r g
Swanson and Lee Flink were
prone to overlook these tactics
by the so-called weaker sex.
But let one of the Cabbies try
the same thing and their
whistless blew right out. The of
ficials let the girls score in a
cross-net basket but nullified a
Cabbie bucket made the same
way.

and the Cow Girls would Jump
up and down in futile attempt
to retrieve the casaba. But big
Chuck was dealt with hardest
by the refs. In the closing
moments Center Shirley Dorow
oi the Texas gang accused him
of pinching. Stacy was escorted
to the sidelines ' and banished
from the fray.
Ref Swanson even played for
the girls and scored a point
when Florence Holder, who took
over his whistle, let him have
four tries.
Kline Tied Up
A lot of the Cow Girls special
stunts came in the fourth quar
ter and Dick Kline, smallest
player for the Cabbies, had his
hands tightly bound. That left
the men with only four players
on the floor for a bit. Stacy at
one stage was left without a
shirt. The girls tossed a midget
ball into the action.
Music blared up in the final
half-minute and four Cabbies
and four Cow Girls danced out
the final seconds. Stacy was led
from the court into a dressing
room by the Dorow gal while
this was going on.
The accurate long range shoot
ing by Florence Holder and the
drive in pointmaking by Ellie
Panas were features of the Cow
Girls performance. Each had
seven field goals. Miss Holder
was credited with another shot
for her by Don . Harris of the
Cabbies. Miss Panas had 20
points and Miss Holder 19 for
the evening. Don Wendt scored
12 for Yellow Cab.
Miss Holder, captain of the
traveling team, scored five free
shots out of 10 tries blindfolded
in a halftime event. Miles Rob
inson, co-coach of the Cabbies,
not blindfolded made three of
10 attempts.

79-71;
LOSES
By JOHN GRIFFIN
United Press Sports Writer.
The upset lightning knocked
three favorites out of the NCAA
Basketball Tournament Friday,
but defending champion La
Salle and National champion
San Francisco had no trouble
qualifying for the quarter-final
round.
Ousted in first-round surpris-
EP Fives in
Independent
Concluder
Eagle Point An all-home
town Saturday night final re
sulted when the EP Townies
and . Lettermen won Friday
night semi-finals in the Eagle
Point Independent basketball
tournament.
The Town team licked Butte
Falls 66 to 41 and the Letter
men nudged Bufelson's of Cen
tral Point 82 to 80. Losers went
into the playoff for third place.
Prospect Townies and Eagle
Point outlaws gained the con
solation or fourth place finale.
The Towners of the logging
community tipped Headquart
ers company of the National
Guard, Medford, 84 to 67 while
the Outlaws topped the Pros
pect Lettermen 60 to 52.
Eagle Point Lettermen head
ed 49 to 39 halfway through
their semi-final. Burelson's was
missing its Crater high players
but had Lloyd Hoffine and
Keith Johnson of Southern Ore
gon college who made 29 points
each. Bill Caldwell got 25 for
the Lettermen.
EP Townies were sparked by
Mike Brown with 14 tallies and
had a 32 to 19 halftime margin.
es Friday night were Kentucky,
beaten 79-71 by Marquette; Vil
lanova, nipped 73-71 by Canis
ius; and Southern Methodist,
rapped 81-79 by Bradley.
But La Salle hardly flexed its
famed muscles in romping to a
73-46 victory over Ivy League
champion Princeton, and San
Francisco displayed its best-in-the-nation
defense in walloping
dangerous Utah, 78-59.
Other first-round winners in
the four regional tournaments
were Iowa, in an 82-53 romp
over Penn State; Colorado, by
69-59 over Tulsa and Oregon
State, in an easy 83-71 decision
over Seattle.
The results set up these re
gional finals:
Kansas City Beckons
At Philadelphia, La Salle vs.
Canisius; at Evanston, 111. Mar
quette vs. Iowa; at Corvallis,
Oregon State vs. San Fran
cisco. Saturday's winners qualified
for the semi-finals at Kansas
City next Friday, when the Phil
adelphia and Evanston regional
winners meet for the eastern ti
tle and the Manhattan and Cor
vallis winners meet for the west
ern title. The following night,
eastern and western champions
meet for the national champion
ship. Kentucky, three-time NCAA
champion which had been rated
the second best team in the na
tion behind San Francisco dur
ing the regular season, bowed
to Marquette only after a wild
battle at Evanston in which the
score was tied 15 times and the
lead changed hands 13 times.
Marquette finally got the upper
hand by taking a seven - point i
lead with six minutes left and
successfully played a control
game to close out the battle.
Kentucky was missing two
regulars because of injury and
ineligibility.
