Coburg 60 Texan's Claim on Elephant Kill Disputed Hollywood iU.R) Archery expert Howard Hill has disputed a Texan's claim that he was the first person to kill an elephant with a bow and arrow. Hill referred to recent reports that William Negley, of Houston, Tex., killed two African elep hants as the result of a $10,000 bet. "Of course, a Texan would make the claim," Hill said. "He (Negley) was reported to have scored a first with elephants, but I dropped not only two but three during a movie safari to Africa in 1950." Hill, a native of Alabama, has set out on many expeditions in recent years from his San Fer nando home.

NCAA West Regional Has No Favorite Oregon State College, Corval- lis Big annual college basket ball show of the west the west ern regional National Collegiate Athletic Association champion ships starts for the sixth con secutive year at spacious Gill Coliseum next Friday night, with the oddsmakers completely stumped as to whom to establish as favorite. For the first time in years, the field is that closely matched. The University of San Francisco was heavy favorite to sweep each of the last two tourneys, and after winning here easily grabbed the national crown a week later. This time, it's simply a matter of flip a coin and take your pick. As matters now stand, three clubs definitely are "in" for the Corvallis affair. California's able Bears will represent the Pacific Coast conference, after their best season since 1953 when they lost to Washington and just missed the playoff here. Fans who have seen them play will tell you a good representative they'll be. Won Hard Way And there s Brigham Young, ruler of the mountain states (Skyline) conference. The Cou gars won their gonfalon the hard way, but they won and will be tough to handle here by anyone. The third team definitely slated to appear is USF, the defending national champion, who clinch ed the California Basketball As sociation crown again. Their record doesn't match Don quints of the past two years, but they still have a miehtv potent outfit and could cause anybody trouble on a good night. The fourth slot will go to either j Idaho State, the impressive Rocky Mountain conference i champion, or Texas Western, the Border conference titlist. Those ! clubs go into a one-game playoff at Idaho State's home domain in I Pocatello next Monday night to determine the Corvallis entry. Friday night pairings senc1 USF against either Idaho State or Texas Western in the 7:30 p.m. game, with California taking on Brigham Young in the 9:30 p.m. encounter.

Seal Relief Staff Has 4 Former Big Leaguers San Francisco (U.R) ' Old hurlers never die they simply fade away to the San Francisco Seals, as witness the club's new relief corps of Jim Kon' stanty, Walt Masterson, Harry Dorish and Duane Pillette. They may be used up in the big time, but Manager Joe Gor don of the Coast league team thinks his "age movement" will give the pitching staff a ma turity and balance which it lack ed in 1956.
