etball laurels, opened their pre-
conference tune-up slate with a
pleasing display of strength Fri
day night in a 78 to 27 rout 01
A-2 Illinois Valley on the Med
ford parochial school's floor.
Showing streaks of a potent
ially strong fast breaking at
tack and playing a heads-up,
aggressive, driving, ball-stealing
game, the Crusaders went in
front in the first quarter, took
a commanding lead in the sec
ond canto and were never ser
iously challenged after that.

was 30 points, 53 to 23. Final
score represented the widest
margin of the night, 51 points.

ing Cougars substituted players
more liberally than Mentor Mil
lard Webb of St Mary's who
made no wholesale changes un
til the final quarter. But, when
a flock of reserves did enter
with about 6 minutes left to
play, they continued to " widen
the count over the IV aggrega
tion. Illinois Valley suffered a
blow when Forward; Howard
Pickle turned his ankle in the
second quarter.
St. Mary's defense, after yield
ing five field goals in the first
quarter, gave way for only six
more during the rest of the
game, two in each of the re
maining stanzas. The Cougars

Phoenix Glendale high em
ployed a pressing defense and
a streak of hot shooting Friday
night to nick the Phoenix Pirate
hoopmen 51 to 49 in the season
opener for both schools.
Phoenix took a commanding
lead in the early portion of the
fracas at Glendale. The Pirates
built up a 22 to 11 first quarter
spread, stretched to 26 to 11 in
the second quarter and headed
32 to 19 at halftime.
Glendale used a full court
defense from the start but did
not rush Phoenix much until the
third quarter. Then the tactics
began to pay off. The Douglas
county quint put the presesure
on and was all over the Phoenix
club. The Glendale shooting eye
sharpened and enabled it to
rally and go in front 42 to 39
by the end of the third quarter.
Stein of the home club led
scorers with 15 while Bill Mad

to a 57-46 victory over a more
ragged Oregon State team Fri
day night.
The non-conference game was
the first of the season for both
teams.
Anderson, high point scorer
for the evening with 23 points,
staged his scoring spree while
Oregon State was being held to
only two free throws. The spree
gave Oregon a 38-27 lead, which
OSC was unable to overcome. -Oregon
State, defending Pa
cific Coast Conference champs
weakened by. the loss of giant
Swede Halbrook, got a 13-7 lead
midway through the first period.
Three Rallies
But Oregon put on its first of
three scoring rallies of the eve
ning, scoring 12 points while
the Beavers were held to 2 to
take a 19-15 lead. The Ducks
held a 21-19 margin at halftime.
Best OSC performances were
turned in by Dave Gambee, who
got 12 points from his forward
slot, and sophomore guard Ken
Nanson, who scored 16 points.
Anderson and Charlie Frank
lin, talented Los Angeles junior
college transfer who scored 13
points, led. the Ducks.
OSC. crept to within three
points of the Ducks late in the
contest, but Oregon held an
eight-point rally to obtain a lead
that held up for the rest of the
game.
a seven-point favorite for its
home game with the third-place
Baltimore Colts. The Rams can
take the Western Division
crown by winning if the under
dog Lions upset the Bears at
Chicago. The Bears are 10
point choices, but were I6V2
point favorites last Sunday
when they took a 53-14 whipping
from the Chicago Cardinals.
Hold Half-Game Lead
Cleveland holds a half-game
lead over the Washington Red
skins in the Eastern race and is
a 12 point favorite to defeat
the Steelers at Pittsburgh. The
Browns can clinch their sixth
straight NFL division title by
winning if the Giants defeat
the Redskins at Washington.
Washington is a three-point
favorite.
The Green Bay Packers trail
Los Angeles by IV2 games and
still have a slight chance in the
Western race. But the Packers
(5-5) are 5 point underdogs for
their game with the Forty
Niners (3-7) at San Francisco.
In today's other game, the
Philadelphia Eagles 3-6-1 are
favored over the visiting Chi
cago Cardinals 4-5-1 by seven
points.
Los Angeles (6-3-1) defeated
Baltimore (5-4-1) by such adding
machine scores as 45-2 and 48-0
in the past. But Coach Weeb
Eubank's Colts have been pro
viding tougher opposition for
the Rams and all their other op
ponents since late in the 1954
campaign. The Colts edged the
Rams at Los Angeles last De
cember, 22-21, and the Rams had
to come from behind at Balti
more two weeks ago to salvage
a 17-17 tie.
