(International) Ducks, Buckeyes Put Finishing Touches To Rose Bowl Training Pasadena (t?l Favored Ohio State and underdog Ore gon put the finishing touches to their Rose Bowl training today with coach Len Casanova bank ing his hopes for an upset on the Webfoot "big three" backs. But despite the Oregon of fensive trio of halfback Jim Shanley, fullback Jack Morris and quarterback Jack Crab tree, Cozen Woody Hayes' Buck eyes sull ruled a 19-point favorite. Hayes received cheering news Saturday night when doc tors said star back Don Clark would beable to play against the Oregon University squad. O Hayes said Clark wouldn't start, out the top Buckeye run ner almost certainly will see ac tion. w A sellout crowd is assured for the annual contest. Oregon plans only a light drill Tuesday, tapering off fal lowing a series of heavy contact sessions. The Ducks probably would be spending New Year's Day in g Eugene, Ore., instead of Pasa dena, if it were'nt for th com bined and individual taJents of Cfchanley. Morris and Crbtree.

Of the thiSe, Shanlefi per haps the best -around player. He led the squad in rushing dur ing 1957 with 664 yards and holds the school record of 1828 yards over a three-year span. Shanley, only 5 feet, 8 inches and 170 pounds, also gained 221 yards on pass receptions and led the Pacific Coast conference in kickoff returns with an aver age of 30.9 yards. Casanova calls him "one of the finest players I ever coach ed." Shanley also is a standout on defense. Morris' Toe Valuable y The 25-year-old Morris, who once was clocked at 9.5 seconds in the 100-yard dash, kicked a field goal to beat Idaho, 9-6, and his extra points meant the dif ference between victory and de feat against both Washington State and Stanford. A good blocker, Morris also is the second leading rusher with 661 yards. He is second in team scoring to Shanley, with. 4d points, compared to 54 for the clever halfback. Crabtree was the target of some criticsm in past seasons but was regarded as much im proved in 1957. Mixing up plays well and demonstrating the same ability to come through in the clutch that mark Shanley and Morris, Crabtree completed - 55 of 99 passes, for 624 yards 0 and five touchdowns.

Ma SIPCD Top-Ranked Quintets Clash in Tournament; Dons Capture Title By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sporls Writer Kansas and Kansas State, a couple of arch-rivals who merely happen to be ranked the nation's No. 1 and 2 teams, collide to night in a battle for tournament glory like that already won by North Carolina, San Francisco, and Texas Christian. Action tonight marks the windup of the. big holiday bas ketball tournaments, with Kan sas - Kansas State clash coming in tho final nf the 'Riw T"iVlt par- mvai ai xs.ansas In addition, Temple and Calif ornia will meet for the crown in the Holiday festival tournament it New York. Unbeaten Mary land will face Memphis State in the deciding game of the Sugar Bowl tournament ato New Or leans, and Iowa plays Syracuse in the Queen City final it Buf lo, N. Y. Fans Eager The big game at Kansas -City is one cage fans of the Midwest have been anticipating and was set up Saturday when Kansas won its semi-final game 55-48, over Iowa State as seven-foot Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain tal lied 27 points, and Kansas State trounced Nebraska, 88-57, as six eight Bob Bczer tallied 18 points. ' r l i t r i : Tcjriplo Owls Oyer Cat Boars in Garden Hew York OPt Temple and its slick court general, Guy Rodgers, were rated heavy favorites to beat California in the finals at Madison Square Garden tonight for the Holiday Festival basketball champion ship. The Temple-California clash will foltow a third-place play off between Seattle and Dayton. Two consolation games will be played in the afternoon with Manhattan, last year's cham pion, meeting New York Uni versity in one contest and Pitts burgh facing Connecticut in the other. Temple advanced to the finals with a 91-73 triumph over Se attle Saturday night while Cali fornia was forced into overtime before defeating Dayton, 60-55. The Owls got a break in their game with Seattle when Elgin Baylor, the Chieftains' star, was forced to the sidelines for a little less than two minutes during the second half because of an eye injury that required two sititches. Rodgers, a standout for Temple during the entire tour ney, and Jay Norman used that two-minute interim to help the Owls run off 11 straight points. That spurt gave Temple a 66-52 advantage and Seattle never was able to close the gap after that. California had much more difficulty subduing Dayton and after the Bears' victor, their forthright coach Pete Newell, said, "I'm surprised we've done as well as we have." Earl Robinson, California's key man, has not been particularly impressive in the tourney thus far and it took a strong come back by the Bears to tie the score at 50-all at the end of regulation time against Dayton Saturday night. Al BSch's clutch three-point play during the overtime session sparked the Bears to their ulti mate victory over the Flyers. Newell concedes he faces a itough nut in Temple but insists California has met tougher op ponents this season. "We've played teams like Monday, December 33, 1957 5& Temple beat Seattle, 91-73, in a Holiday festival semi-final. In the other, California won over Dayton, 60-55. North Carolina, last year's na tional champion ranked No. 4 this year, was victorious in the Dixie Classic at Raleigh, N. C. Arch-rival North Carolina State tried to upset the Tar Heels, but failed, 39-30, in a slow-down game. San Francisco's fifth - ranked Dons romped to a 60-45 victory over Oklahoma City in the All College finals at Oklahoma City. TCU Wins Third Tille Texas Christian won the Southwest Conference tourna ment at Houston for the third time in the last six years over Rice, 57-55. Other tournament champions went to: Mississippi State, victor in the Mississippi State tournament at Starkville, Miss., over Morehead State, 46-41. LaSalle of Philadelphia, win ner by 59-55 in overtime over liost Richmond in the Richmond Invitational at Richmond, Va. Georgia Tech, the Motor City tourney winner at Detroit with a 70-66 upset of Detroit. Holy Cross, in its own invita tional at Worcester, Mass., with a 77-72 win over Dartmouth. Heavy Choice Kansas, Kansas State and San Francisco," he said, "so I think we've met the best." The only three defeats Cali fornia has suffered this season were administered by Kansas, Kansas State and San Francico, all of whom are ranked among the top five team nationally by the United Press Board of coaches. Mine Explosion Being Investigated Amonate, Va. (IP) A team of federal and state mine offic ials today resumed ah investiga tion of the explosion which rip ped a big Pocahontas Fuel Co. coal mine here Friday night, killing 11 men. A 30-man group entered the mine Saturday after the bodies of the 11 victims were brought to the surface about 12 hours following the blast. However, poisonous fumes still were ling ering in the pit and the investi gators made little headway. A company spokesman said re pairs were expected to be com pleted this morning to a section of the mine ventilation system knocked out by the explosion.

Phone SP 2-7155 Joe Francis Had Key Rolo In West Win By SCOTT BAILLIE San Francisco OP) The West Shrine team had lot of big names on its squad last Sat urday but nobody named Joe Francis and he played a key role in leading the West to its 27-13 upset. Even after the game, the Ha waiian from Oregon State hard ly drew a mention as West Coast writers extolled the fine way in which Coach Jack Curtice's un derdogs had shown the greater "desire" in racking up the stars from east of the Mississippi. But that is old stuff to Fran cis, who rarely was mentioned either during the two weeks he drilled with Curtice's T-squad. For he had come to training camp noted only for his work as passing tailback in the single wing. "Francis is working real hard to learn T-quarterbacking," came the report from the squad each day. "He is trying very hard but Jack Douglas of Stan ford probably will start." Which was the case and Fran cis went into the defensive pla toon at safety. One Shot At Quarterback Curtice had said, however, that everybody would have to be a two-way pleyer. And jumping Joe got his shot at quarterback midway through the second period when the East began to rush Douglas badly. The Westerners were enjoy ing a 7-0 lead at the time and were on another march when Douglas began to get battered. On his first play, Francis ran into the same trouble of not be ing ableto spot a receiver so churned six yards to the East 14. From there, he pitched out to Merrill Douglas of Utah for the touchdown which put the West safely ahead. Francis figured in another important play late in the game when the East could have made the outcome more respectable. The "big name" group took over on the West 33 after Jim Orwig of Michigan had recovered a blocked kick. Dangerous Jim Pace of the Wolverines swept right end for six yards and seemed going for more but Francis came over to tackle him. Mickey Trimarki of West Virginia passed to Day ton's Fred Dugan for another 12. That put the East on the 15 and Trimarki fired another pass which was picked off on the two yard line by Francis who looked like an infielder hauling down a, high toss. Back the islander stormed for eight yards until he was smashed down on the 10 and the East's last scoring chance was gone. Francis was credited with four tackles during the after noon, the same number which went to Stanford's Don Manou kian who was named lineman of the day. Their performances were pretty well summed up by Ger ald Nesbitt of Arkansas, who scored three times for the West. "I think we wanted to win a lit tle bit more than the East did." Motorists Found In Deep Canyon Stevenson, Wash. (IP) The bodies of three motorists were removed from the bottom of a 1000-foot deep canyon about noon Sunday by Skamania coun ty sheriff's officers and volun teers. The victims had been mis sing since Dec. 23 on a trip from Salem, Ore., to Cook, Wash., and their wrecked car was found in the canyon Saturday. The dead were identified as Cole C. Taylor, 62, Cook, Wash.; Mrs. Sadie Kelly, about 69, also of Cook, and the Kelly woman's daughter, Mrs. Lillie May Bjerke, a"bout 34, of Mulino, Ore. . Police theorized the car, be lieved to have been driven by Taylor, plunged over the edge of Cook's Grade, 2Vz miles north of the Evergreen highway, near Taylor's home. Residents in the Cook area late Saturday discovered tire marks hidden by brush at the edge of the road and notified authorities. The sheriff's office said all three persons had been thrown clear of the car during its plunge.
