Renaissance In Cougar Sports Seen By PAT KILLEN San Francisco (U.PJ If new head coach Jim Sutherland develops athletes as well at Washington State college as he did at Santa Monica High, then watch for a great renaissance In Bthletics at the Cougar school. - Because, spotted around the country in various types of sports jobs, are dozens of ath letes developed by Sutherland. When Parry O'Brien reared back and threw the shot put far ther than any human last Sat urday, it must have been a cer tain source of satisfaction to Sutherland. He started Parry in that business. When Ronnie Knox throws a pass for UCLA and completes it, Sutherland must say to him self, "I knew it," because he coached Bonnie in high school, too. Started McLaughlin And when Leon McLaughlin tosses a particularly resounding block for the Los Angeles Rams, Sutherland can say "I expect ed" it because he started Mc Laughlin on the road to fame. " These are just a few of the men that got their start under Sutherland. . In 1952 after O'Brien had won the Olympics in Helsinki and set a new standard there, his parents told this reporter that Sutherland was one of the three men responsible for his even being in Finland, Mr. and Mrs. Parry O'Brien Sr. of Santa Monica, Calif., said that Parry credited Sutherland, Jess Mortenson, freshman track coach at the University of Southern California, and Jess Hill, former track coach and now head football mentor at USC with guiding him to the Olympic winner s platform. Sferong Boy . " ,. Sutherland coached football and track at Santa Monica high school when O'Brien was a growing lad. During the track season he worked on the Santa Monica strong boy and did a lot to develop his shot put talents which led to a Southern Cali fornia high school record in his senior year. : Sutherland also developed the following players: Dick Horn, former quarter back and safety man for Stan ford. Ike Jones, offensive end for UCLA's 1954 Rose Bowl team. Sandy Lederman, . University of Washington quarterback who was touted as; the best North west field general and passer since Don Heinrich before he broke his arm during the 1953 season.

District tourney action is scheduled Saturday and Sunday nights with games to be played at Rogue River; YMCA dominated the back boards throughout the fracas last night.

To Tournament List By JOE SARGIS ' United Press Sports Writer Oklahoma City and Seattle joined the growing list of teams named to the NCAA's basketball championship today and little St.: Joseph's College of Philadel phia just about clinched a berth in the National Invitation tour nament by scoring its second big upset victory in a week. The NCAA named Oklahoma City (17-53 and Seattle (15-10) to at-large berths in its 25-team tournament. Other teams previously named to the NCAA tourney include Holy Cross (20-4), at large, Con necticut (17-8), Yankee Confer-i ence, Memphis State (16-5) . at large, Marshall (17-3), Mid Amer ican, and Idaho State (16-7), Rocky Mountain. First round play gets underway in New York, Fort Wayne and at two as yet unnamed sites, March 12 and 13. St. Joe racked up its 17th win GaLVERT .THE GREAT TRADITION OF AMERICAN WHISKEY N.YirC. BLENDED WHISKEY 86.8 PROOF 65 GRAIN NEUTRAL SPIRITS Ed MbcKen Gets Verdict Over Cuban San Francisco (U.R) The question of whether Eddie Ma chen can take it or not remained a moot one today but there was no doubt he is a happy gleam in the eye of the International Box ing club. i The - sharp-shooting heavy weight from Redding, Calif., went before the national TV audience Wednesday night with only 11 professional fights un der his belt and punched out a unanimous 10-round ! decision over experienced Julio Mederos of Cuba. Machen weighed 193, Meder os 191. IBC Secretary Truman Gib son, beaming in concert with Sid Flaherty, who handles Ma chen, said that a fight between handsome Eddie and Nino Val dez, "would be a good bout," and predicted it may be held here in about six weeks. Valdez originally was suppos ed to have met Machen Wednes day night, but dropped out with a broken nose. Few Jolts .Mederos, a workhorse who knocked out Roland La Starza early last year, never landed enough jolts to Machen's curly head for observers to. tell if Ed die can take a punch. But the Cuban showed he could take plenty himself when Machen staggered him with a repeating right-left blast in the sixth round and followed it ,up with a shower of lefts and rights in the seventh that had Mederos wobbling. " - : Machen, who took the first four rounds to get the television jitters out of his system, never was able to deck his opponent although he belted him with ap proximately a dozen lefts and rights to an unprotected jaw in the ilop-sided seventh. . PLAYER SUSPENDED Villanova,. Pa. (U.R) Bob Powers, a high scorer on the Uni sersity of Villanova basketball team earlier this . season, has been suspended indefinitely by Coach Al Severance for "dis ciplinary reasons." Names Seattle in 21 starts by upsetting eighth ranked Temple, 77-68, Wednes day night. , - The NCAA probably will make a bid for St. Joseph's, but officials of the loosely-knit Mid dle Atlantic Conference aren't expected to make their choice between the Hawks, Temple, Lafayette and Muhlenberg until next week. St. Joe more than likely will grab at the invita tion if the backers of the NIT offer one in the next couple of days, thus paving the way for Temple (20-2) to be named to the NCAA tourney. Already named to the 12-team NTT carnival are Louisville (21 3), Seton Hall (18-3), third-ranked Dayton (21-2), Niagara (18-5), Duquesne, the defending cham pion (11-9), Marquette (11-9), Xavier of Ohio (14-8) and St. Francis, N.Y., (18-1). First round play in the NIT is scheduled for March 17 in Madison Square Garden. , taste . . . Thursday, February 23. 1958 Black Tornado Faces avemen Here Friday Southern Oregon Conference basketball reaches the end of the 1956 trail this week end. The championship and state tourney qualifiers are already decided but that won't deter the also rans in their efforts to embar rass the leaders and improve their own records in the final opportunity. Medford championship Black Tornado plays Grants Pass high while runner-up Klamath Falls vies at Ashland. In games : at Medford Friday and in the Caveman gym on Saturday, Grants Pass will be aiming to keep out of the loop cellar while at Ashland the Grizzlies will be trying to climb out of it. The Tornado enters its Cave man series without the pressure of crucial play upon it but with knowledge that it will still have to be "up" to trim the Cave men. While' not underestimating the Cavemen because of then poor record, the Medfordites still like the thought of a couple more tough games to help them groom for the state A-l tourna ment at Eugene. The week end tussles will be the last for both Medford and Klamath Falls be fore the mid-March jaunts to the University of Oregon campus. GP Can Be Tough That Grants Pass can give Medford a battle was shown in the previous series in January when the Tornado won 42 to 39 and 67 to 57. Tornado hope is that its big men will give them the same backboard control and scoring they provided in the sec ond conflict for both series this week end. ' ' The Cavemen almost upended the Medfordites in the 42 to 39 first brush with a slow 'em down offensive which gave them con trol of the ball much of the way and with a tight defense.
