Boston Celts
Cinch For
Division Title
By UNITED PRESS
It's now a runaway in the
Eastern Division of the National
Basketball Assn. where the Bos
ton Celtics have opened a 7,i
game lead with a seven-game
winning streak.
The Celtics took their latest
giant stride toward the regular
season division title by whipping
the Philadelphia Warriors, 105
95, Monday night at the Boston
Garden after Syracuse had
beaten Minneapolis, 112-96, in
the first game of the double
header. The loss dropped the War
riors into third place, less than
one percentage point behind the
idle New York Knicks.
Boston took a 10-point lead
in the opening minutes and led
the rest of the way despite War
rior rallies in the second and
fourth periods, Bob Cousy had
22 points and Tom Heinsohn 21
to lead the Celtics, but Paul
Arizin of the Warriors took in
dividual honors with 24.
In the opener, the only other
league game Monday night. Jonn
Kerr's five baskets in the fourth
period helped Syracuse break
out of a tie to beat Minneapolis.
Kerr led the Nats with 26 points
but Dick Carmaker of the
Lakers had 28.
Oliva Top Raider Scorer;
McAbee, D'Olivo Eligible
Ashland Freshman center
Norman Oliva leads Southern
Oregon college basketball scor
ers through 18 games. Oliva has
scored 259 points for a 14.4
game average.
Bill Hollingsworth, junior for
ward who missed the first eight
games of the season is back in
the scoring parade and has the
best game average with 18.6. He
has dunked 186 points since
joining the team and has been
a key figure in the Red Raider
offense as SOC gained a 4-4 won
loss record in Oregon Collegiate
conference competition through
the first half of the schedule.
Two new faces will be in the
Red Raider line-up when the
Red and Black goes into action
again this week-end at La
Grande against Eastern Oregon
college. A pair of sophomore
transfers, Dave D'Olivo and
Jim McAbee will give the Raid
ers of Coach Ted Schopf much
needed strength. D'Olivo, 6-4,
ex-Klamath Falls High forward
and McAbee. 5-11, Ex-Talent
guard, are eligible after sitting
out an 18-week period because
of the National Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics trans
fer ruling. The two attended
University of Oregon last year.
Seeks Balanced Crew
With the 10-day layoff from
the OCC hoop schedule, there's
an opportunity for Coach Ted
Schopf to get together a bal
anced Raider unit which can
remain intact for the remainder
of the season. Southern Oregon
this season has had a variety of
faces in the varsity lineups.
The Red Raiders were handi
capped in the early part of the
season when Hollingsworth and
Ron Owings were ineligible. As
soon as they could play, Don
Rposp Don Jacobson and Bruce I
Penny were then place on the.'

Huskies Battle Ducks
Today in PCC Action
By UNITED PRESS
There are only three college
basketball games scheduled on
te Pacific Coast tonight, but
they're spread out from Seattle
to Los Angeles.
The University of Washington
and Oregon, both members of
the Pacfiic Coast Conference,
meet in Seattle in a non-conference
game; College of Pacific
and Santa Clara engage in the
only California Basketball As
sociation contest, and San Diego
meets Los Angeles States.
However, two of the games
involve top teams. Washington
leads the PCC in victories with
seven, but stands third on the
basis of a single loss. Unbeaten
California and UCLA have won
six and four games, respectively.
Santa Clara is presently tied
with St. Mary's for first in the
CBA with records of 3-1. A Bron
co victory tonight would give
Santa Clara the conference lead
The Huskies, with a pair of
towering stars like Bruno Boin
and Doug Smart, should have no
trouble scoring a victory to
night. Oregon is the cellar
dweller of the PCC with a rec
ord of 1-5.
Santa Clara has beaten COP
once, and according to statistics,
should be able to do it again.
ineligible list because of schol
astic deficiencies.
Al Christensen, a guard from
Bend, dropped out of school re
cently to further handicap the
Red Raiders in their aim for the
OCC crown.
However, as the Red Raiders
get down to serious business for
the rest of this week, coach
Schopf is still wearing a broad
grin. He still possesses one of
the finest basketball prospects
to ever come out of a B school
in Oliva, an 18-year-old fresh
man from Malin. During Oliva's
junior and senior years he led
the Malin high Mustangs to the
state B basketball finals. He was
named unanimously to the all
state first team both years.
Breaks Rebound Record
Oliva in addition to leading
his team in scoring, heads .the
Red Raiders in field goal ac
curacy from 88 goals out of 182
attempts. He has broken the
school record of 294 rebounds
with 349 through 18 games.
Another bright spot on the
Red Raider varsity is Charlie
Crandall, a 20-year-old junior
from Coos Bay. Crandall is
third in the scoring parade with
148 points. He leads the team in
free throw average at a .772 clip
for 44 dunks out of 57 attempts.
Crandall is second to Oliva in
field goal accuracy with a .468.
This Friday and Saturday
nights' games with Eastern Ore
gon have boiled down to a make
or break affair for SOC. SOC
needs to win both if they are to
remain in OCC contention.
Coach Schopf's lineup will
probably feature Norm Oliva
and Dave D'Olivo at forwards,
Hollingsworth at center, and
Chuck Crandall and Dale Bates,
lone senior on the club, at
guards.

Miami (U.R) Ted Williams,
baseball's greatest hitter, today
modestly identified Mickey Man
tle 'as "the best batter of this
era" and added that the New
York Yankees again would be
the team to beat for the Ameri
can League pennant.
Williams, lean, tanned and
fit, will go to Boston on Friday
to sign his sixth contract at an
estimated $100,000 for another
season as the big stick of the
Boston Red Sox. And the four
time batting .champion left no
doubt but what he expected
to give Mantle a run for the
crown in the coming season.
"Mantle surely was entitled to
the batting championship," said
Williams of the Oklahoma kid
who won the American League
title with a .359 mark against
his .345 percentage and a life
time average of .348.
"Mickey is certainly the best
hitter of this era and should
wind up as one of the all-time
greats," Ted added with con
viction. "But I am sure that,
the way 1 feel, I can play at
least 100 games this season."
Hopes for 25 Homers
Ted also grinned that he
"thought" he could hit "at least
.330 and maybe bang about 25
home runs."
"Meanwhile," he added, "I'm
going to try to beat that young
fellow from the Yankees out of
the batting championship and
the new rule which includes
bases on balls in the necessary
477 times at bat doesn't figure
to hurt me too much."
As one of the perennial lead
ers in walks, Williams figures
to benefit greatly from the new
ruling. With his walks being
counted, won't have to go for
the bad pitches coming down the
stretch to get the previously-

needed 400 at-bats necessary to
be eligiblle for the batting cham
pionship. Williams, always a forthright
talker, asserted that the Ameri
can League pennant race was
"between the Yankees and
seven contenders."
"I hope I'm not misunder
stood, again," he laughed. "I
think our Red Sox have a ter
rific potential and you can bet
we'll give it a run all the way.
But who's going to deny that
the Yankees are the team to
beat?"
Respects Larsen's Pitching
Ted admitted, too, that he has
for a long time had a terrific
regard for Don Larsen,1he Yan
kees' no-hit World Series hero.
"Way back when he was with
the St. Louis Browns I said he
was the most deceptive pitcher
I had seen in a lohg time." Ted
explained. "Well, I think the
Dodgers will agree with me,
anyhow."
Williams, who still carries a
10-inch pin in his shoulder as
result of a shoulder separation
operation several years back,
said that it bothered him now
only during cold weather.
"I feel great and I'm looking
forward to this season and
several more," he reiterated.
"I'd like to win that batting
championship again and may
be again."
Which, considering his ad
miration of Mantle, may be
something of an enigma. But
then, you have to remember
that the immortal Ty Cobb
named Williams as the greatest
hitter of this era and from the
looks of tall Ted, his era, isn't
anywhere near ended.
Rhode Island entered the Un
ion as a state in 1790.
subsequent battle for the pen
nant, probably will come out
all right again but right now he
wants more money.
Amoros, who batted .260 in
114 games, is one of the three
remaining unsigned Dodger
players. The other two are in
fielder Chico Fernandez and
pitcher Bob Darnell.
Cama Through In Clutch
Playing in the Cuba winter
league, now Sandy undoubtedly
remembers how some of his
Dodger teammates took him
over the coals for costing them
a crucial game against the Phil
lies in the last month of the
195b campaign. Shortly after
ward, however, he came through
with a couple of key hits.
At any rate, Sandy is having
his troubles getting base hits in
Cuba at the moment (hes bat
ting less than .250) and he's in
no particular hurry to sign his
contract and shoot it back to
the Brooklyn front office.
Brooklyn had better luck with
four of its other players today,
however, with the receipt of
signed contracts from catcher
Al (Rube) Walker and outfield
ers Gino Cimoli, Bert Hamric
and Bob Wilson.
Giants Sign Two
Outfielder Dusty Rhodes and
catcher Bill Sarni agreed to
terms with the Giants, making a
total of 25 who have signed
with the club so far.
Ray Crone and Taylor Phil
lips, two pitchers who figure
prominently in Milwaukee's
plans, signed their contracts
with the Braves. Phillips had a
6-5 record with the Braves aft
er joining them in mid-season
from Wichita and Crone, used
chiefly in relief, won 11 games
and lost 10.
Relief pitcher Joe Dahlke and
utility outfielder John "Bubba"
Phillips signed with the White
Sox, bringing their total to 17,
and the Orioles made it 20 men
in tow with the signing of
catcher Joe Ginsberg and rookie
outfielder Angelo Eagres.
Wildlife Conservation Stamps
Now Being Distributed by NWF
Washington, D.C. Wildlife
homes are given special atten
tion in the 20th annual wild
life conservation stamps', the
1957 series now being distribut
ed by the National Wildlife fed
eration. Six of the thirty-six stamps,
reproductions of water-color
paintings by leading nature art
ists, show typical forms of na
tural wildlife homes. A barn
owl, for example, is shown de
livering food to fledglings in a
hollow-tree nest. Beavers are
shown constructing a lodge, and
another stamp depicts the tiny
underwater "cradle" built by
the little fish known as the
stickleback.
Another group of six stamps
shows wildlife homes of the
kind that can be provided by
man in conservation projects.
Separate subjects depict a nest
ing box for wood ducks; a mul
tiflora rose hedge providing
cover for quail and other small
game; a brush pile for cotton
tails; marsh management for
waterfowl; and a farm pond,
which can provide haven for
many forms of wildlife.
The subjects showing homes of
wild creatures tie in with the
"make - a - Dlace-for-wildlife"
theme of National Wildlife
Week, to be observed by con
servation groups throughout
the country March 17 to 23.
Twenty-four of the stamps
follow tradition by presenting
portraits of beautiful and inter
esting species of wild birds,
mammals, fishes and wild flow
ers. The Federation's art staff is
headed by Roger Tory Peter
son, best known for his illust
rated "Field Guide to the
Birds." Peterson as usual con
tributed the bird and wild flow
er portraits. Other artists rep
resented in the 1957 series are

stamps issued last year by the
U. S. post office department.
First in 1938
The famous wildlife conser
vation stamps have become an
American institution since the
first series was painted in 1938
by Ding Darling, noted news
paper cartoonist and first pres
ident of the National Wildlife
federation. Since then they have
financed scores of educational
and research projects and help
ed build the Federation into the
nation's largest conservation or
ganization. Reproduced in six-color lith
ography for natural appearance,
the stamps are distributed by
mail to conservation-minded cit
izens throughout the nation.
During 1956 the wildlife
stamp receipts, as in past years,
paid for the federation's auth
oritative legislative reporting
service covering all bills and
actions of Congress that affect
natural resources. They helped
finance conservation workshops
for school teachers and youth
groups in 14 states and provid
