we could have kept our unde

McGuire was preparing to
coach the Eat squad in tonight's
East-West Shrine all-star game

fights during the national
championship game to die down.
"We wer lucky, awfully
lucky all season long in the close

always kept 'heir poise and came

that's the mark of champions."
The Tar Heels had to go
through three overtimes to top
Michigan State in the semi-finals
74-70, and through three more
to win the national champion
ship from Kansas, 54-53, Satur

But when it was all over.
Coach Dick Harp of Kansas and
all others agreed that North Car

Brennan of North Carolina and
Wilt Chamberlain of Kansas, and

Ira Edged By Lewis
On PAL Boxing Card
Fans who termed the Larry
Lewis-Willie Ira bantamweight
encounter the best fight of the
recent northwest Golden Gloves
tourney in Portland knew what
they were talking about.
That was shown Saturday
night as Ira, Portlander and
once a national AAU runner-up,
took a unanimous, but very close,
decision over his Medfrd rival
in the Medford Police Athletic
league's benefit boxing card at
Hedrick Junior high.
The tussle, fought in the semi
windup spot, bordered on sensa
tional, was the highlight of the
evening and brought the biggest
cheers from a crowd of some
1.200 spectators. First one and
then the other of the two scrap
pers had the advantage in the
fistic pleaser. Ira won on the
strength of his edge in the second
panel.
Main event saw Dick Lopez,
Medford PAL, in command all
the way against his substitute
heavyweight opponent, Jim Cor
win, Ashland. Lopez took the
bout by technical knockout at
1:13 of the third round.
Mover Flaihei Skill
Denny Moyer, Portland, flash
ed his superb boxing skill in the
150-pound ruckus, in the special
event. Loren Christean, Medford
PAL, was also the unanimous
choice of Judges Fred Spiegel
berg and Don Cain and referee
Mike Smith in the 175-pound
bonus event against Steve Dusen
berry, Portland PAL.
The 60-pound tussles which
started the show rivaled the
lewis-Ira scrape in popularity.
Both ended in split decisions
with Keenan Smith, Medford
PAL. tipping Joe Cowan, Los
Angeles, in a slam bank free
wheeler, and Rusty Smith, Med
ford PAL. beating Tommy Cox,
Portland PAL. in a rousing ex
change of leather that brought
loud cheers.

Golden Gloves. First round ap

scoring more at the end. Ira

?r,d was the more aggressive in
the second round. A lot of
Lewis's punches went astray
against the older Ira but the
Medfordite staggered his adver
sary in the final round. How
ever, Ira shook off the damage
and came storming back.
Repeat Verdict
In the main Corwin filled in
for Hugh Williams. Portland,
who did pot make the jaunt to
Medford. The Ashlander was a
finalist against Lopez in the
Roseburg Golden Gloves. Blows
and the pace of the Geronimo
Kid in the third round were too
much for Corwin and referee
Smith called a halt to give Lopez
a repeat victory.
Moyer, clever at finding open
ings against Green, had a de
cisive edge as he landed frequent
blows in the final round of the
special. The Portland star also
looked better in the first round.
Green did well at the start of the
second canto. A blow to the
Roseburg youth's midsection,
however, turned the tide and
Moyer banged in several other
telling pokes.

a left hook and right cross five
seconds before the bell of the

Vancouver Mounties Hope
For Better Start in 1957
(Following is anothar la a

Br ALEX KAHN
Riverside, Calif. (U.R) The
Vancouver club hopes that in
its second year in the British
Columbia city since being trans
planted from Oakland the Moun
ties will get off to a stronger
start than last year In the Pa
cific Coast league.
In fact, new manager Charlie
Metro, a veteran of the Detroit
chain, vows that in his first sea
son with the Canadian club he
will lift them out of the cellar.
"I'm just getting acquainted
with the players but from what
I've seen and what I hope we
will get from Baltimore we
ought to show improvement,"
he said. "It will be a young team
but one with potential strength.
I understand what ruined the
club last year was a poor start,
but let our player coach, Johnny
Jorgensen, tell you about that."
Jorgensen blamed the team's
second round trip in which the
club lost 19 out of 22 games for
the disastrous finish, declaring
the players just couldn't over
come that deficit.
But Metro and Jorgensen both
feel "it oughta be different" this
year. Jorgensen says he's ready
to go back to work in the infield
ers at Anaheim Sunday. The An
gels slammed four of the round
trippers.

In the outfield the Orioles are
weak at the moment, having lost
the hard hitting Jim Pisoni to
Kansas City while George Met-
kovich, long the mainstay of
the team in its Oakland days,
has retired. Three men who
have been drilling with the
Orioles are counted on as pos
sibilities. They are Joe Frazier,
Chuck Oertel and Len Green
with Willie Tasby, up from San
Antonio, showing power in
spring drills.
It's on th mound that Van

ing was not one of the Mounties'
strong points last year and it's
much the same this season. But

ing down reinforcements, re
