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.

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.

through for a lay-in with just

Knappa their 46-45 edge.

school basketball tournament.

placed two players on the team.

Vaughn Battered

Olson returned last night to his

against California champion Wil
lie Vaughn who will be out of
the ring several months as a re
sult of the Olson-administered
pasting.
"Vaughn is hard to hit," Olson
admitted. "It was a good work
out. I wanted to go the 10 rounds
to get ready for Maxim." 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."

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.

and streak-riding San Francisco
were rated the slight early favor
ites to win Friday and advance
to the final round for the nation
al championship on Saturday.
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.
