On the basis of two earlier wins over Crater, Grants Pass will be favored this week. But the Comets gave the Cavemen some good battles the last time and showed that they could spoil GP hopes when they split last week with Ashland which has won three of four from the Cave men. Emphasizing Offense In their Saturday night mix with Ashland, nevertheless. Cra ter made only five field goals. So in preparations for the Cavemen coach Jim Nau has been era phasizing offense. Concentration has been on set shots from out side. Comet defense last week end, Nau felt, worked fairly well with the exception of spots on Saturday. The Crater mentor has in dicated a possible starting line up of Fred Herrmann, Dick Davis, Randy Campbell, Joe Teeter and Jerry Kime. He said that Kerman Bennett and Paul Beach have been brought up from the jayvees. Wayne Allen has dropped from the varsity for health reasons. For Grants Pass it will be the game since coach Ray Davis turned in his resignation effec tive at the end of the school year. What effect that action and the reaction in the school and in the town will have on the squad and its performance remains to be seen. GP has a bye last week end. The Cavemen starters likely will come from among Jim Smith, Chuck Rembert, Pete Proctor, Chuck Lasher, Gary Tompkins, Mike Sparlin, Bob Fowler, Larry Henderson, Lary Walker and Jerry Putnam.

Bob Richards wins pole vault event at KYAC Games in New York's Madison Square Garden. (International Soundphoto) UCLA Rival For Oregon This Week University of Oregon', Eugene Oregon will play its third straight conference series at Mc Arthur court this week end and Coach Steve Belko rates the in vading UCLA Bruins as "the best balanced team we have played this season." Coach John Wooden's club has lost only one conference feame in the last 36 and is cur rently involved in a red-hot three-way race with Washington and California for the PCC championship. "They have won derful shooting from their top seven or eight men," Belko added, "and also have fine squad speed and rebounding strength." The Duck coach said the Bruins would present a different defensive problem than Wash ington, poinling out UCLA is de pendent on speed and balanced shooting for the strength of its attack. "They don't have a Bruno Boin or a Doug Smart," Belko continued, "but any one of their top men can have a hot night and beat, you." Best Game In reviewing the series with Washington, Belko said he thought his Webfoots played their best game of the season against the Huskies on- Saturday night. He-praised the work of Paul Tuchardt, the reserve cen ter, and said the Oakridge jun ior was improving more rapidly than any other member of the squad. Belko also was pleased with the work of Eli Morgan, the 6-6 sophomore forward from Port land. "Tippy Dye told me Mor gan did the best defensive job of the season against . Boin," Belko reported, "and I would certainly agree that Morgan has come along very nicely, par ticularly on defense." Phil McHugh and Charlie Franklin also played well against the Huskies, Belko added, and he rated McHugh as one of the finest team players he has coached. "McHugh's attitude is great and is typical of the entire squad. We've lost a lot of games and not once have they shown any signs of quitting," Belko pointed out. Oregon's unbeaten freshman team plays the Oregon State Rooks and Surroz Motors of Salem in the preliminaries thi week end and Belko said he thought there were several fine prospects on the Duckling team.

Louisville, Ky (U.R) Willie Pastrano, a satin-smooth swiftie inside the ring, said today he intends to "make haste slowly" in a long-range bid to challenge heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson. "I'm just gonna keep fightin' for groceries and let the other guys challenge Patterson for a while," said the fourth-ranked contender after Wednesday night's unanimous 10-round de cision over Johnny Holman of Chicago. "I want to reach the top but I'm in no hurry to get there." "That's right," chimed in trainer Angelo Dundee. "When we think it's time for Patterson, we'll challenge . . . but not be fore." The 22-year-old Pastrano said "things went about as I expect ed" as he reduced Holman to a plodding, one-eyed fighter and extended his unbeaten string to 21 straight bouts. Willie puffed up Holman's left eye in the sixth round, closed it in the seventh and played cat-and- mouse with his heavier opponent the remainder of the way.

By UNITED PRESS Catcher Roy Campanella was to be the center of attraction to day when Manager Walt Alston formally opened the National league champion Brooklyn Dodgers' Vro Beach, Fla., train ing camp. , "If Campanella's sound again, he'll solve a lot of our prob lems," conceded Alston, who lists the veteran catcher and Navy returnee Johnny Podres as the Dodgers' two "big ifs" of 1957. Campanella, bothered by bad hands, hit only .219 last season but has been insisting all winter that he's sound again. Only pitchers and catchers are actually due for today's work out but Alston was pleased to learn that veteran outfielder Carl Furillo and rookies first baseman Jim Gentile also will be present. Gentile is the powerful farmhand who led the Dodgers in hitting on their post-world series tour of Japan. At Tucson, Ariz., meanwhile, General Manager Hank Green berg of the Cleveland Indians re vealed that pitcher Bob Lemon has agreed to terms. Lemon, 'a 20-game winner for the seventh time in his carere last year, is believed to have settled for about $45,000. The Indians still have 12 players unsigned. The Philadelphia -Phillies an nounced that former infielder Gran Hamner, who is trying his arm at pitching this year, has signed. Hamner was forced to the toe plate because of an in jury to his left shoulder which hobbled his play at both short stop and second base. The Phil lies are hopeful that a knuckler and good control can make him a surprise winner on the mound. On Other Fronts Outfielder Hank Bauer and third baseman Andy Carey signed with the world champion New York Yankees, who now have 29 players under contract. Bauer hit only .241 but drove in 84 runs and walloped 26 homers last season. Carey, a .237-hitter in 1956, will have to fight to retain his job this year. . The New York Giants reported "all signed" when rookie pitcher Curtis Barclay, 15-11 at Minne apolis last season, came to terms. The Giants are the first of the three New York teams to sign up their full roster. The Pittsburgh Pirates re ported the signing of righthander Bob Garber, who compiled an 11-6 mark at Hollywood of the Pacific Coast League last season. Catcher Jack Shepard and out fielder Lee Walls remained as the only Bucs who have not yet inked contracts. ACCUSED of knocking down police captain's sister with car while driving from bar after several drinks, Don Sherwood, San Francisco ra dio and TV star, is awaiting trial.
