Heavy Week
For Athletes
At Oregon
University of Oregon, Eugene
Oregon's spring sports teams
have moved into another heavy
veek of competition with 14
events set for the four sports.
Coach Don Kirsch"s defending
Northern Division baseball
squad, alter its fourth straight
title and 12th in the 24-year his
tory of the league, has the busi
est schedule. It met Willamette
here on Monday and Linfield at
McMinnville today and plays
Portland State here on Thurs
day, Levis and Clark at Port
land on Saturday.
A decided lack of hitting and
some spotty defensive work
have been the major problems
faced by the Ducks in their early
games, but excellent pitching
and promising work by a num
ber of sophomores have helped
offset the weak spots.
The mound work of Terry
Maddox, Stan Dmochowsky,
Jack Her.kel, Dan Lane, Ron
Whittaker and Phil Bell indi
cates the Webfoots may have
their best pitching staff in years
and Capt. John Keller at short
stop and Dick Schlosstein at first
base have also been outstanding.
The scramble for the remainder
of the starting positions contin
ues with at least two men in con
tention at each spot.
Open Track Meet
Coach Bill Bowerman's track
and field squad, which opened
the Northern Division season
against Oregon State, is idle
from league competition but will
take oa Lewis and Clark, the
Portland Track and Field club
and th? Oregon freshmen in an
open meet next Saturday as part
of the annual Hayward Relays.

draw about 65 entries in the
four classes with the Band C
teams competing Friday and the
Metropolitan and Class A squads

season at Medford Saturday

Statistics Back Best Ever
Claims for San Francisco
New York U.R) N.C.A.A.
figure-filberts have come forth
with some strong statistical ar
guments today to support the
already well-accepted claim that
the University of San Francisco
team was the best in college
basketball history.
In the 30 years the N.C.A.A.
service bureau has kept tabs on
college teams, the 1955-56 Dons
were the first ever to play a rep
resentative major schedule dur
ing which no opponent ever
came closer than seven points in
the final score.
This was only one of the many
arguments backing up the "best
ever"' claim for the Dons, who
won 55 consecutive games and
two straight N.C.A.A. cham
pionships during the past two
seasons. Here are a few more:
For the second straight sea
son, San Francisco led the ma
jor colleges in defense. The Dons
yielded an average of only 52.2
Spring Football
Training Starts
At Notre Dame
South Bend, Ind. U.R)
Competition for a starting berth
on Notre Dame's 1956 football
team promises to make the Irish
spring practice "a very good
one," Coach Terry Brennan said
today.
"We've got five positions wide
open," he said, "and two more
where I'd like to be fooled by
having somebody come up and
take them.
"We've got to fill these spots
from sophomores, or juniors and
seniors who didn't rank as top
reserves last year. So we've got
to find a dozen men or more just
to fill out a team."
Brennan opened his 20-day
spring session with 14 lettermen
among 81 candidates. Another
letterman, who probably would
have been a starter, halfback
Aubrey Lewis, passed up the
football drills to concentrate on
track with hopes of making the
U.S. Olympic team in the de
cathlon.

Chene to Defend
Wrestling Title
Against Montana
Grants Pass i.arry Chene,
the ultra popular coast junior
Heavy wrestling champ, will de
fend his belt against the chal
lenge of rough and rugged Bull
Montana this Wednesday at the
Josephine county fairgrounds
arena.
Montana refused to appear un
less the title was up so Match
maker Elton Owen had to put
up a sizeable guarantee to get
Chene to put up the belt.
These two matadors are no
strangers to each other having
met each other before in a box
ing match and a couple of wrestl
ing matches here.
Chene defeated Montana on
a close decision in Portland to
annex the title which was va
cated by the great Pepper Gomez
more than a year ago. Larry
proved that he had the heart
of a lion last week when he was
battered into a bloody mess by
Jack O'Reilly in the second fall
and then came back to do some
battering of his own and win the
match.
Bull Montana, is considered to
be the roughest guy to ever hit
this part of the country.
The semi-final will match fast
moving and popular Bill Fletcher
against the nasty Jack O Reilly.
Fletcher went to a draw with
the favored Freeman last week.
He will have to be at his best
to beat the arrogant Australian.

Archie Moore
Faces Bean
Richmond, Calif. (U.R) Ar
chie Moore swings into his fifth
non-title bout since Rocky Mar
ciano knocked him out last Sep
tember when he meets Willie
Bean of Los Angeles tonight in
a 10-round contest at the local
auditorium.
Moore, trying to lose several
rolls of fat before he defends his
world light heavyweight cham
pionship against Yolane Pompey
in London next June, probably
will weigh 191 for this one to
Bean's 210.
Bean not only is the heaviest
fighter Moore has fought in his
tuneup series but also the hard
est hitting. Although his record
indicates he is over the hill,
Bean stil lhas a hard right hand
punch. He also has been around
since 1946.
A large crowd is expected to
watch the highly-favored Moore
square off with Bean. Those
who are upset minded recall
that Moore was similarly favor
ed in this area eight years ago
and ran into a one round knock
out by Leonard Morrow.
This is More's last fight in
California. His next bouts are
scheduled for Seattle and then
Salt Lake as he heads for the
dock.
