By JOHN GRIFFIN
United Press Sports .Writer
To the surprise of absolutely
no one, San Francisco today
became an official entry in the
NCAA' basketball tournament
and also the immediate favorite
to pick up all the marbles.
The streaking Dons, who won
the tourney last year, made
themselves eligible for a title
defense Tuesday night when
they crushed College of Pacific
87-49, at San Francisco to clinch
the championship of the Calif
ornia Basketball association
with a perfect league record and
their 43th straight over-all vic
tory. ,
That moves the Dons into the
NCAA regionals ' at . Corvallis,
Ore., with a March 16 date
against the Pacific Coast Conference-champion
not yet de
termined but, probably, UCLA.
The Dons, rated the nation's
No. 1 team by the United Press
board of coaches with a perfect
22-0 record for the year, are
the 11th team to land a berth
in the 25-team NCAA carnival.
If they win their three re
maining regular season games,
and then sweep through four
more games to win the tourna
ment title for the second year
straight, they will equal the all
time all-college record' of 55
straight wins held by Peru, 111.,
State and also will become the
third team in history to win the
NCAA crown two straight years
following Oklahoma A&M
(1945-46) and Kentucky (1948
49). ;
Star Guard Ineligible" "'
However, they'll have to do
It without K. ' C. Jones, their
star guard who is ineligible for
the NCAA competition as a
fourth-year player.
Another team may be added
to the NCAA field tonight when
Texas Tech can clinch the bord
er conference championship by
beating New Mexico A&M, at
Lubbock, Tex. Tech's - heavily
favored to win this one and,
with it, a first-round berth. in
the NCAA "tourney against
Southern Methodist, the South
west conference champion, on
March 12. 1
Tech moved into first place in
the league while idle Tuesday
night when Texas Western,
which had been tied, for the
lead, was beaten by West Texas
State, 80-79, at Canyon, Tex.,
on a long set shot by Lawrence
Overcast with six seconds left.
SMU tuned up for the tour
ney by beating Rice," 89-75, to
finish with the first perfect
league record (12-0) seen in the
Southwest conference since
.1947. Big Jim Krebs paced the
Mustangs with 30 . points and
they set a league record with a
final average of 80.25 points per
game.

Blow Opportunity
By UNITED PRESS
Another wasted opportunity,
marked by the blowing of an
11-point lead in the last quar
ter, meant that the New York
Knickerbockers were just about
through today.

Fort Wayne at New York Tues-
. day night.
The defeat dropped the Knicks
two full games, behind Syracuse
with only eight games leftx to
play. Never before in their his
. tory have the Knicks failed . to
make "the playoffs, but now their
doom seems certain.
In the only other game Tues
day night, also at New York, the
Rochester Royals pulled within
: 2Vi games of third-place Minne
apolis in the Western Division
by beating Boston, 117-96.

auditorium here last night. Two
weeks earlier when the two
middleweights faced off in the

won by a knockout when Mueller
lunged at him missed, and sailed
between the ropes, knocking

In Drills For Malin Tiffs
St. Mary's high school basket
ball team, which is currently
showing more spirit than any
other time during the season,
began tapering off today for its
District 5B play-off series with
the Malin Mustangs.
The Medford Catholic school
opposes Malin on Friday and
Saturday evenings at the South
ern Oregon college gymnasium
in Ashland. If a third game is
necessary in the two-out-of-three
series, it Will be on a Klamath
county court.
Coach Millard Webb of the
SM Crusaders reported that, the
Medford aggregation worked
light last week and had hard
drills Monday and Tuesday.
Practices today . and Thursday
were to be less extensive. Webb
reported that the - squad is in
good shape physically and that
spirit is "awfully high."
St. Mary's faces a big task
in its effort to overcome the
defending district champions
and gain the first state tourney
entry for the school. Malin was
runner-up for the state champ
ionship last season, losjng by
one point to Knappa. Back from
