Court Carnivals Spin
Throughout Country
By JOHN GRIFFIN
United Press Sports Writer
North Carolina has fallen, and
in an excited air of "anything
goes," college basketball rushed
this week into that basket-happy
period known as holiday tourna
ment time.
Before Christmas week is over
Crater Falls
To Oakridge
Again 51-39
Central Point Crater high
bowed 51 to 39 to the Oakridge
basketball crew Saturday night
at Oakridge after giving the
Warriors a tougher skirmish
than on Friday.
The Warriors outscored the
Comets by six points in each of
the halves. Midway score was
26 to 20. Crater made several
pushes to come from behind but
fouls tooted against the Comets
snuffed their rally efforts.
Comet players had the advan
tage 31 to 18 in the scrapping
under the backboards but Oak
ridge shot more accurately from
the field and capitalized on
more chances at the free heave
line.
The Warriors made 16 of 42
tries for a .381 average in field
goaling to Crater's .255 on 12 of
47. At the free stripe the home
club made 19 for 37 for .513.
The Comet average was .609 on
14 for 23.
Oakridge took the lead for
good in the early moments and
was sparked offensively by Wil
lie Snyder who collected 18
points. Wayne Allen with 14 and
Randy Campbell with 12 topped
Crater.
The Comets will have two
tought tangles this week end,
facing Willamette on Friday and
Coquille on Saturday. Both
games will be at Central Point.

BROWN TO ENTER ARMY
Manhasset, N. Y. (IP) Jim
Brown, rookie fullback for the
Cleveland Browns, will enter
the Army Jan. 25 at Ft. Ben
ning, Ga., for a special six
month training period and is
scheduled to be out of service
in time to train for the 1958 Na
tional Football leagre season.
Washington Rio de Jainero, ;
like Washington, D. C, is locat
ed in a special territorial unit
called the Federal District. Cur
iously Rio's city government in
cludes a Department of Agri
culture because many of the
district's 450 square miles are
given over to forest land and
farms.
Paul Brown
Has Eye on
Wrong Club
Cleveland HP) Coach Paul
Brown of the Cleveland Browns
said today he thought the San
Francisco Forty Niners would
beat the Detroit Lions Sunday
and "scouted the wrong team."
"I was watching it on televis
ion at home and I know I scouted
the wrong team for a good part
of the afternoon," Brown said.
The Lions erased a 27-7 third
period deficit and won the West
ern division playoff game, 31-27.
They'll entertain the Browns
next Sunday with the National
Football league championship at
stake.
Brown had four of his assist
ants Howard Brinker, Paul
Bixler, Fritz Heisler and Dick
Gallagher at San Francisco
scouting the playoff game.
Not Surprised
"They'll come back with their
impressions of the game, but
they probably scouted the wrong
outfit too," Brown said.
"We're not surprised that the
Lions won," Brown said. "They
wear very well because they're
seasoned to this thing.
"We know our problem. We
got licked, 20-7 the last time we
played them. And next Sunday
they'll have the advantage of
playing on their home field."
The oddsmakers rate next Sun
day's game a tossup although the
Browns never had won at Briggs
stadium in two 'regular season
games and one title game. The
Lions are the only NFL team
that holds an edge over Cleve
land but Brown doesn't believe
in jinxes.
merry-go-round court carnivals
will be spinning in ever section
of the country and just about
the only national power that
won't.be playing in one of them
will be West Virginia, the team
that wrcked Carolina.
The Mountaineers won glory
enough for one month when they
upset Carolina's national cham
pions Saturday night, 75-64, in
the final round of the University
of Kentucky Invitational tourna
ment. Lose Inside Track
As long as the champions kept
winning, they had the inside
track for the No. 1 national rank
ing. But the streak is dead now,
and the top spot is up for grabs.
Besides West Virginia, top
claimants include:
Second-ranked Kansas, 58-52
winner over California although
Wilt Chamberlain was held to 19
points, and third-ranked Kansas
State, 70-63 winner over Wash
ington as Bob Boozer scored 22,
who are headed for a possible
showdown in the Big Eight
tournament starting Thursday.
Fourth-ranked San Francisco,
winner of the Blue Grass tourney
championship at Louisville by
beating host Louisville, 62-55;
fifth-ranked Michigan State,
which rallied from 13 points be
hind to beat Notre Dame, 79-72,
and seventh-ranked Cincinnati a
70-53 victor over Houston.
Big Eight Tourney Set
The Big Eight tourney at Kan
sas City, matching all the mem
bers of that confrence, will have
to share the holiday season spot
light with such top-notch hoop
fiestas as:

SF Dons Win
Blue Grass
Tournament
By GENE BRYANT
United Press Sports Writer
Pacific coast college basket
ball teams entered the final big
week of intersectlonals today
with several squads still on the
road after a generally dismal
showing last week.
With the exception of the Uni
versity of San Francisco Dons,
who bounced back from last
week's 50-49 upset to Stanford
to win the Blue Grass tourney
at Louisville over the week end,
most West Coast squads prob
ably wished they had never left
home.
California, loser to Kansas
and Kansas State over the week
end, heads for New York and
the Holiday Festival tourna
ment. Keeping the Bears com
pany will be the Seattle univer
sity Chieftains, who dropped a
60-51 decision to USF at Louis
ville but came back to trounce
Army, 80-51.
Oregon State, which dropped
a 77-67 overtime decision to
Iowa Saturday, take on Indiana
tonight before returning home
to Corvallis for the Far West
classic. The Beavers were unde
feated before running up against
the Hawkeyes.
The UCLA Bruins also had an
unhappy road trek, taking a 67-
43 shellacking at the hands of
Bradley and losing to little
Evansville, 83-76. The Bruins
were the pre-season Pacific
Coast conference title favorites
Huskies Meet St. Louis
Washington, another victim of
Kansas and Kansas State over
the week end, meets St. Louis
tonight before heading home.
Previously undefeated Santa
Clara also returns home after
absorbing a pair of losses on
the road. The Bronces dropped
two close ones to West Texas
State, 68-67 Friday and 74-72
Saturday.
On the brighter side, USF is
first-seeded for the All-College
tournament at Oklahoma City
which gets underway Thurs
day. Other teams in this annual
holiday get-together include
Denver, Tulsa, Idaho State,
Western Kentucky and Niagara.
And Oregon, with a surpris
ing record of five wins and one
loss, takes on Brigham Young
again tonight at Provo. The
Webfoots defeated BYU Satur
day night, 63-55.
Stanford, 77-70 winner over
Denver Saturday, is at Colorado
tonight while St. Mary's, 68-60
victor over Washington univer
sity of St. Louis, takes on Brad
ley at Peoria. The Washington
State Cougars, beaten 71-64 by
Utah Saturday, meet the Utes
again tonight.
Doubleheaderi Slated
Several doubleheaders dot the
schedule on the coast this week,
with the Far West Classic hold
ing the spotlight. In addition to
Oregon State and Washington,
Yale and Utah are entered in
the two-day tourney which
starts Dec. 27.
Santa Clara and San Jose
State will meet Arizona 'and Ari
zona (Tempe) State in a pair of
doubleheaders at the San Jose
Civic auditorium Dec. 27-28.
Another set of doubleheaders
is scheduled at the Pan-Pacific
auditorium in Los Angeles
where Southern California and
UCLA take turns playing Ohio
State and Michigan State this
week end.
Exemption Repeal
Opposed By Workers
San Francisco (IP) The Cali
fornia State Association of Elec
trical Workers, which boasts a
membership of 60,000, has is
sued a statement opposing the
repeal of tax exemptions for
non-profit private schools.
Union President John M. Car
ney, San Bernardino, said the
repeal of non-profit tax exemp
tion "would place an additional
unnecessary tax burden upon
the people of California."
Non - profit elementary and
high schools not only render a
genuine service in educating a
portion of California's young
people, he said, but in 1952 it
was estimated th3l annual sav
ings to taxpayers amounted to
more than .41 million dollars as
a result of non-profit private
school operation.
"Should the proposed initia
tive pass on the 1958 general
election ballot, some $1.8 mil
lion of present tax relief would
be quickly offset by a potential
S350 million for new schools
and some $118 million for oper
ating costs in order to match
present non-profit facilities," he
said.

Red Raider
Ashland Southern Oregon
College's Red Raiders, smarting
from Friday night's loss, 62-52,
to Lewis and Clark, moved out
to Gresham's Union High school
gymnasium Saturday night and
pulled out all stops to down the
Pioneers, 91-78, in the second
game of the series.
Center Bill Hollingsworth
burned the nets off the Gresham
hoops as he fired through 45
counters to lead the SOC attack.
"Holly's" 45 points tied the OCC
record set in 1955 by Jack Park
er of Portland State. Faking his
way through Lewis and Clark
defenses for all .types of shots,
"Wild Bill"' hit 16 for 22 from
the field and followed up with
13 for 20 from the free line.
The Red Raiders front line
followed Hollingsworth in
scoring as Dave D'Olivo dumped
in 15 and Norm Oliva and Cliff
Sutherland hit the double figure
for 10 apiece.
Shelton Has 29
The Pioneers were never in
the ball game after the Red
Raiders caught them at 9-9 and
pulled steadily ahead despite a
29 point effort by the Pioneers
Cliff Shelton. Shelton scored 18
of his 29 in the last ten minutes
after the Raiders had pulled
ahead by a gap of 30 points at
one time and were never threat
ened. Jim McAbee and Ron Maurer
Passing by Crabtree
Pleases Duck Mentor
Pasadena, Calif. (IP) Ohio
State's Buckeyes got down to
local practice today for their
New Year's Day game in the
Rose Bowl with the Oregon
Ducks.
Coach Woody Hayes ordered
morning and afternoon drills for
his team at the Buckeyes' East
Los Angeles Junior college prac
tice field. Coach Len Casanova's
squad was scheduled for a mor
ning workout and then an after
noon of sightseeing.
Both teams arrived Saturday.
Oregon went to work Sunday
with a light contact practice
while OSU players toured Dis
neyland in nearby Anaheim and
Marineland at Palos Verdes es
tates. Quarterback Jack Crabtree
pleased Casanova with his ac
curate passing to end Ron Sto
ver and J. C. Wheeler. The
Ducks also worked on kickoffs
and put returns.
Hayes said he would drill
every day except Christmas and
next Sunday, unless it rains, but
he didn't know for sure if he
would run the squad through a
scrimmage.
Feel The Way
"We should know about thai
in two or three days," Hayes
said. "We have to feel our way
along on a day to day basis. If
Missile Blown Up

Great Neck, N.Y. HP) Scien
tists recently deliberately blew
a long-range missile to bits in
the final phase of a flight from
Cape Canaveral, Fla., in a test
to determine the accuracy of an
electronic guidance system, it
was disclosed today.
The Sperry Gyroscope com
pany indicated in its disclosure
that at least some tests that have
been labeled .failures because of
missile explosions in flight ac
tually were successes, as far as
scientists were concerned.
"Destructive tests are neces
sary to reveal weaknesses," said
Dr. Vincent E. Learned, a Sper
ry research and( development di
rector. "Missiles can't be developed
without them."
The company did not disclose
the name of the missile it cited,
but it said it was a long-range
rocket, thus indicating it may
have been one of the two Atlas
intercontinental ballistic mis
siles that were exploded in
flight. '

"We're not worrying about
time," he said. "We've had sev
en practice sessions at home and
if a team can't get ready in 16
practices after playing a nine
game schedule, it never will."
The Ohio coach said he would

He said he could easily see

hardly shared by Hayes.
"The 19-point spread favoring
us is ridiculous," said Hayes.
