EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) ons Nick Beavers 57 to 56 to Oain CM Cage Tournament Semi-Finals Oregon State Closes in at Hectic End B7 HOVARD APPLEGATE Corvallis U.R) University of San Francisco's mighty Dons, undisputed champions of West coast basketball were back in San Francisco today for a well- earned rest before playing Colo rado in the NCAA national semi finals at Kansas City next Fri day. The Dons, first ranked in the final United Press coaches' rat ings, ran their victory string to 24 straight games Saturday night by narrowly defeating tough Oregon State, 57-56, in the NCAA western regional tourney here. OSC, the Pacific Coast confer ence champion, almost dumped San Francisco at the close of a wild, exciting game before 11, 206 screaming fans. San Francisco, the nation's top ranked college basketball team, was ahead for all but a few sec- ends of the game. But Oregon State, a veteran ball club that didn't know the word quit, fought back time aft er time and with only 13 seconds to play Halbrook dropped in two field goals that closed the gap to 57-55. Then came the game's most exciting moments. San Francisco called time out and K. C. Jones, the Don's fiery guard, was called on a technical foul for pushing Bill Toole be fore the ball was put into play. Reggie Halligan sank the free throw and it was 57 to 56, San Francisco. Oregon State passed the ball in and Guard Ron Robbins tried a set shot that missed its mark. Jones tied Halbrook up on the rebound and the game ended after the jump ball went to Hal Perry of San Francisco. San Francisco threatened to run away with the game several times in the second half, build ing up its lead to 10 points. But Oregon State came fighting back and some fine hook shots by Tony Vlastelica kept the Beavers from dropping too far behind. Oregon State went ahead 26 to 25 with 50 seconds left in the first half when Tex Whiteman, who played a great game as a fireman, batted in a rebound. Both Russell and Jones cleaned up to make it 30 to 27, San Francisco at half time. In the consolation game ear lier, Utah set a new NCAA scor ing record by mauling Seattle university 108-85. Art Bunte led the Skyline conference champs with 35 points, even though the 6-foot 3-inch center sat out a good part of the second half. Big Bill Russell, USF's 6-foot 9-inch All-America center, was the unquestioned hero in the game against OSC. He reeled off 29 points and successfully check ed Halbrook in a battle of the giants, holding the Swede to -2 points. Russell played a brilliant game despite a slight cold which USF fans feared for a time would keep him out of the cru cial contest. Don followers also added more grey hairs minutes after the game began when standout forward Jerry Mullen twisted an ankle and had to be benched. Mullen returned to ac tion six minutes later. SWEEP PREVENTED Portland (U.R) Sylvia Ruuska. 12-year-old mermaid from Berkeley, Calif., posted victories in the 250-yard breast stroke and the 400-individual medley during the weekend here to prevent a Multnomah Athletic club sweep of the Far Western swimming and diving champion ships. MAC swimmers won both the men's and women's . titles, and set six of the eight new meet records. Knappa Bumps Malin For State B Diadem Salem (U.R) Knappa high school came from behind to win its first state class B basketball title Saturday night, edging by Malin 46-45. An individual three-game scoring record was broken by 6-foot 3-inch sophomore Bob Hunt. He totaled 70 points in three games to lead the Loggers to victory. Harrisburg took third place in the tourney by overwhelming Powers 70-40. As a team the Eagles broke a three game rec ord also, piling up 202 points. Saturday afternoon, Heppner won fifth place, by downing Enterprise 46-37. Knappa paved its way to the title with a first round tourna ment victory over Heppner 41 33 and followed up wrth a de feat of Harrisburg 56-51. In Saturday night's final game, the Oregon coast Loggers overcame a 29-19 deficit at half- MAIL TRIBUNE MedfordTribune SIPCDimrS Big Texas Wrestling Ace Meets Hussane; Davidson On Saturday Mat Program Cyclone Cobb, giant wrestler from Dallas, Tex., will make his local debut on Mack Lillard's mat at Merrick's arena Saturday night. Cobb, who scales 240 pounds and stands six feet, four inches tall, will take on Yoggie Hussane, the wild man from Tur key. Cobb is said to be a good grap- Cow Girlies, Yellow Cab Get Laughs The basketball played wasn't particularly brilliant but the an tics of both clubs were suffic ient to provoke a lot of laughs Saturday night as the Texas Cow Girls opposed the strong Yel low Cab independent men's team of Medford Saturday night in the second of a two game week end series. Entertainment was the main issue of the night and from that standpoint the small crowd in the Crater gym at Central Point probably got money's worth enough to make up for what was lacking in strictly basketball technique. Pattern of the conflict pretty much followed that of the meet ing Friday night at St. Mary's gym here. The Gals resorted to holding, hanging on, shirt-grabbing, hair pulling, covering Cabbies' eyes and other devious methods to get the advantage on the taller, stronger Car Jock eys. As on Friday Refs Lee Mink and Virg Swanson went along, overlooking, like gents, some of the Cow Girls' infractions. But the Cabbies couldn't get away with a thing. One gag was add ed. Flink was "shot" by the Cow Girls for' one decision and crumpled realistically to the floor. Scoreboard at the end show ed that the lassies were "win ners" 60 to 51 but they didn't appear to relish the "victory." Yellow Cab, giving the impres sion that it was easily superior to the ladies, went along with the Texas gang and helped it out a lot. The Medford inde pendents, in fact, stole some of the clowning thunder from the girls and the boys and the crowd seemed to enjoy the evening much more than the lady barnstormers. The Cow Girls did show some fine flashes of fine ball hand ling, passing and shooting but the Cabbies provided them with a lot of good opportunities and even made three field goals for the girls. i Florence Holder showed an ac curate eye for the bucket and adept shooting with 10 field goals on, her own. She had 30 points for the evening with three points provided by the men. Ellie Panas also showed a lot of skill and came up with eight field goals for 16 points. Shir ley Dorow dunked some nice hook shots in the second half. Johnny Foster got 12 points for the Cabbies. LINE-UPS: Cow Girls 60 Fl. Holder 30 Evans Dorow 11 Fr.

In a thrilling finish, re serve guard Tim Bagley broke through for a lay-in with just seven seconds to go, giving Knappa their 46-45 edge. Salem (U.R) State cham pion Knappa placed only one man on the all-star team in the 19th annual state Class B high school basketball tournament. Malin and Harrisburg each placed two players on the team. Only one of the state champs to make the team was Bob Hunt, a 6-foot, 4-inch sophomore who set an all-time tourney scoring record of 70 points. Others on the first team were Norm Oliva and Ray Johnson of Malin and Phil Estegard and Terry Woods of Harrisburg. The second team included Roger Dokken and Lavon Tra vis of Malin.

If that is the case, he will have his work cut cut for him because Hussane will do anything if he thinks it will gain an advantage for him. Harold (Buck) Davidson, a local favorite for many years, goes against Johnny Dobbs, the Omaha toughie who ranks right behind Hussane for "meanie'l laurels. Lillard had been after a tag team match but couldn't get Hussane to go for it. The big Turk also wouldn't approve a match with Dobbs, which Lillard also was trying to make. The mat maestro said he hopes to be able to force Hussane into a match with Dobbs. Capping the triple-bout card will be a women's match featur ing Tiny Kim, Honolulu judo ex pert, against rough-house Gerry Hunter. All bouts will be for 40 min utes or two out of three falls.

Bobo, who weighs 168, will tangle April 13 in San Francisco with Joey Maxim, 175, his first light heavyweight opponent in 71 pro fessional bouts. "This kid won't be able to go for two or three months," la mented Vaughn's manager, Char ley Gregoll, who previously claimed the Vaughn-Olson match was a serious affairs and not merely a workout for the mid dleweight champ. "The body blows were the only things that hurt me," Willie commented, peering through puffed eyes. "Those kidney punches were pretty rough. Olson is the toughest guy I ever fought."

Defending champion La Salle Dukes Choice In NIT Over Louisville By JOHN GRIFFIN New York (U.R) Sky scraping Louisville puts top seeded Duquesne to the "sick ness test" and high-jumping Ni agara tackles fourth-seeded Cin cinnati tonight as quarter-final competition opens in the Na tional Invitational Basketball Tournament. Duquesne was a solid favorite, but Cincinnati which closed the regular season with four straight losses was no better than a tossup against red-hot Ni agara. Tonight's winners will meet in one semi-final on Thursday night. The quarter-final round concludes Tuesday night with second-seeded Dayton playing St. Louis and third-seeded Holy Cross meeting St. Francis Pa., with winners in these games meeting in the other semi-final. Worried Duquesne never has won the NIT in seven previous tries, and Coach Donald Dudey Moore is worried that ailments suffered by his two AU-Americans Si Green and Dick Ricketts may lead to an eighth failure. Moore admitted this is no time for Green, who averaged 21.9 points per game, and Ricketts, who averaged 20.0, to feel sick. Because Louisville, on the strength it showed in beating Manhattan, 91-86, in Saturday's opening round, is dangerous. Niagara, generally regarded as the toughest of the unseeded teams, looked every bit the part in walloping Lafayette, 93-80, in the opening round to snap Lafayette's 20-game winning streak. In other first-round games Saturday, St. Louis beat Con necticut, 110-103, in a game that smashed Madison Square Gar den scoring marks for both one team and two teams, and St. Francis downed Seton Hall, 89 78, as Maurice Stokes tallied 29 points and nabbed 20 rebounds to lead St. Francis to victory after it had blown a 10-point first half lead.

But all four teams are red-hot and cocky after brilliant quarter final triumphs Saturday night at four regional sites, and Iowa and Colorado were not conceding a single inch to either of their rivals. La Salle advanced to the semi finals by winning the Philadel phia regionals, smashing the tourney's single-game scoring mark for the second time in three games by walloping Canisius, 99- t4. Iowa advanced by whipping Marquette, 86-81, in the finals of the Evanston, 111., regionals. San Francisco, ranked the na tion's No. 1 team at the close of the regular season, won the Cor vallis, Ore., regionals in probably the tourney's most dramatic game so far, 57-56, over Oregon State. Colorado, victor now in 15 of its last 16 games, won the Manhattan, Kans., regionals by drubbing Bradley, 93-81. La Salle's 99 points eclipsed the record of 95 the Explorers had set in winning their prelim inary round game against West Virginia. But the new mark stood only a couple of hours until Utah thrashed Seattle, 108-85, in the consolation game at Corvallis.
