Holy Cross,
Seattle Win
Cage Tussles
By JOHN GRIFFIN
United Press Sporls Writer
Holy Cross, a regular visitor
to post-season basketball tourna
ments since the end of World
War II, can count on another
tourney berth this year because
it appears far and away the best
cteam in New England.
The Crusaders, ranked 13th
nationally, racked up their 12th
win in 14 starts Tuesday night
in Worcester, Mass., by an em
phatic 81-67 score over Dart
mouth. More important, the win
gave Holy Cross a perfect 8-0
record against New England ri
vals.
Holy Cross has appeared in
the National Invitation tourna
ment for the last two years,
winning it in 1954. But it also
could be tapped for a berth in
the NCAA tournament, which it
won in 1947.
Lost To San Francisco
The Crusaders' only losses
have been to national champion
San Francisco and Alabama and
they now have a string of six
wins that" includes triumphs
over Duquesne and Connecticut,
the favorite in the Yankee Con
ference.
Oklahoma City, ranked 17th
nationally, was Tuesday night's
big upset victim, bowing to Se
attle, 8984, in overtime at Se
attle. It) was only the third loss
in 13 starts for Oklahoma City.
The two teams meet again to
night.

St. Mary's high basketball
team of Medford had the front
running spot of the Jackson
County B League all alone Tues
day night following a 58 to 49
win over defending champion
Talent.
The Crusaders, unmarred in
the loop, recorded their third
decision. It was the first set
back in three conference en
gagements for the Bulldogs.
Butte Falls, sparked by the
deadeye shooting of Bill Irwin,
rose up to spill Rogue River
66 to 54 in the circuit last night
and Prospect, although off
stride, clipped Jacksonville 55
to 42 for a second place tie Vith
Talent in the standings.
St. Mary's had to recover
from nine-point deficits in the
first quarter to subdue the Bull
dogs. Butte Falls stayed on top
all the way in a rough hassle
to turn back an off-form Chief
tain club. Irwin rolled in 35
points. Jacksonville gave Pros-,
pect a slow deliberate mix. The
Cougars tried to speed it up
but were ragged and flashed
their real power only once in
getting victory.
Bulldog Hustle
Talent outhustled and outshot
St. Mary's in the first quarter.
The Bulldogs put in nine points
before the Crusaders could score
and then held a 13 to 4 lead. St.
Mary's fired back to slice the
gap to 13 to 10 but Talent had a
16 to, 10 edge at the quarter.
Three close in shots by Tony
Miksche -on a rebound and a
couple of feeds, two long range
goals by Dick Paup, a jumper
by Laval Meunier, two free shots
by Gerald Darland and the re
bounding and defensive work of
6-5 Jerry Flakus combined to
put SM on top in the second
quarter and the Crusaders kept
the upperhand.
The Crusaders caught up at
22-all on a longie by Paup. Gary
Combs made it 23 to 22 for Tal
ent but Miksche canned a close
jumper with IVi minutes left
in the half for 24 to 23. Miksche
added a gifter and Paup and
John Walsh field goals for a 29
to 23 halftime lead. After three
" '
Wednesday, January 18, I95S
to
quarters SM led 46 to 35 and
in the fourth panel the Medford
team had 15-point spreads of 52
to 37 and 54 to 39. -
The Bulldogs sparked up to
outscrap St. Mary's in the final
minutes but the lead was too
wide to overcome. '
Paup with 20 points and
Miksche with 13 headed the
scorers. The height combination
of Flakus, Miksche and Walsh
was a definite asset to the Cru
saders in busting up the Talent
offense and grabbing the re
bounds and the SM club got a
noticable uplift when Flakus en
tered the fray. The fast breaking
play of Meunier and Paup was
also a feature for the Crusaders.
Talent drive and hustle made
it - a real struggle all the way.
Bob Hoffman, Mel Wallace and
Gordon Thoreson paced the
Bulldogs on the run and Gary
Combs and Ray Weinhold con
tributed rugged and ballhawk
ing play under the boards.
Butte Falls had 18 to 12, 36
to 23 and 48 to 35 quarterly
leads on Rogue River. Bilbee
Lane was top shooter for Rogue
River with 25 points.
Prospect margins by periods
were 11 to 10, 26 to 15, and
37 to 26. Don Vannice . contrib
uted the outstanding play fof the
Cougars and had 21 points. Bob
Guches scored 14 for Jackson
ville. In junior varsity frays St.
Mary's beat Talent 49 to 46,
Prospect ' downed Jacksonville
35 to 30 and Butte Falls trim
med Rogue River 48 to 40.

Red Raiders
Meet Vikes
At Ashland
Ashland Southern Oregon's
red hot Raider hoop quintet will
be playing at home this week
end, Friday and Saturday, for
the first time within a month.
Visiting the Raiders will be
the Portland State Vikings, Ore
gon collegiate -conference cham
pions of last year. This season
they are again setting a good
pace in the circuit.
Coach Ted Schopfs Raiders
came through the Oregon Col
lege of Education frays in great
style, jumping off to command
ing leads in the early moments
of both games and winning 88
59 and 73-47. Reserves were able
to see lots of action and gave
the key-men in the Raider of
fense a much needed rest. Ore
gon College just didn't have
enough "wolves" to stop the on
slaughts of the charging Raiders.
Outstanding Cagers
This week-end's two game
series with the Portlanders may
be the toughest test the Raiders
have this season. Coach Sharkey
Nelson's experienced crew of
lettermen sharpshooters boast
both height and speed. Southern
Oregon hoop fans will be able
to see such outstanding Portland
State hoopsters as Jack Viskov,
Jack Parker, Ron Nenow, and
Paul Poetsch, all in action on the
SOC maple court.
Viskov, Parker, Nenow, stand
in the .'neighborhood of 6-5,
while teammate Poetsch, the
chief playmaker stands 5-10.
The Portland State-Southern
Oregon cage series last year was
highlighted when the Vikings,
holding a three-point lead, ex
ecuted a five-minute stall in the
closing minutes of the first half
of the first night ball game. This
year the Portland Staters had
little trouble trouncing the OTI
Owls twice and the OCE Wolves
in three early season OCC con
tests. Viskov, Poetsch Deadly
Perhaps the most troublesome
factor the Vikings will offer the
Red Raiders is the deadeye shoot
ing from out in front of the key
hole by Viskov and Poetsch.
Should Coach Sharkey Nelson
fail to find a scoring punch with
these two lads,' he can generally
depend upon Parker, Nenow,
Frazier or Mclntyre to dunk in
a few points from in under the
basket. Other gold and green
Portland hoopsters likely to see
action will be Perkins, Green,
Lee, Koski, Robertson and
Thompson.
Southern Oregon, owning a
conference record of two wins
and two defeats, will be out to
improve that mark. Coach Ted
Schopf will have to rely upon
his "big" one-two scoring punch
of Bill Hollingsworth and Lloyd
Hoffine to carry the major load.
Hal Titus, lanky SOC center
will have his hands full, fighting
the boards with the Portland
"skyscrapers."
Raider guards Dale Bates and
Chuck Crandall have proved
their ability to score on those
long one handers from out in
front of the keyhole. SOC has
the scoring punch to win, but
may lack the height on the back
boards to grab those all-important
rebounds and score on the
tip-ins. " .
The two night stand may de
cide the fate of the 1956 OCC
basketball crown.
Bobo's Manager
Battles Robinson
San Francisco (U.R) Middle
weight Champion Sugar Ray
Robinson was getting more of a
battle today from Carl (Bobo)
Olson's manager than he got
from the ex-champion in win
ning back the title last month.
Olson's manager, Sid Flaherty
of San Francisco, said he would
demand Robinson's suspension
by the California Athletic Com
mission if he did not live up to
an agreement for a return title
fight within 90 days.
Such a suspension could re
sult in a Robinson ban in all
other National Boxing associa
tion states.
Robinson, who scored a sec
ond round knockout over the
Hawaiian fighter in Chicago
Dec. 9, informed the Internation
al Boxing club Monday he could
not get ready for a rematch ten
tatively set for Feb. 24 and sug
gested a June date.

Antonelli, Bauer
Dislike Salary
Offers for 1956
By MILTON RICHMAN
United Press Sports Writer
Johnny Antonelli of the Gi
ants, Hank Bauer of the Yankees
and Richie Ashburn of the Phil
lies all shared a common lack of
enthusiasm for signing their con
tracts today.
Antonelli, who won 14 games
and lost 16 last season, is ob
jecting to the slice the Giants
want him to take.
Bauer feels his 20 home runs
and .278 average for the Yan
kees rates more than the same
contract he worked under last
year.
Not Happy
And Ashburn, who led the Na
tional League in batting with a
.338 mark, thinks the Phillies
should have given him a bigger
raise In a letter to General Man
ager Roy Hamey, Ashburn wrote
he has neither "approved nor
disapproved" his 1956 contract.
Boiled down, that means he's not
happy.
Antonelli, who skidded sharp
ly after his 21 victories in 1954,
admitted he has rejected the Gi
ants' first offer. "I'll take a cut
if they prove I deserve one," he
said, "but so far, they haven't."
