The Grizzlies, who had pul led to within a half a game of second place by bouncing the Comets 57 to 41, Friday, were again a full game back of the position after Saturday contention. Crater was still within striking distance of the leaders after the split al though still in the cellar. Ashland climbed to an 8 to 1 spread in the early min utes for the widest advantage of the night and was still in front 14 to 8 at the quarter. Crater then barged into lead ership 27 to 24 by halftime Third quarted tally was dead locked at 33 apiece. The Comets shoved in the lead to stay at 39 to 37 mid way in the final quarter and with 50 seconds to go had their biggest margin at 44 to 38. Buckets by Bill Maurer and Leo Daniels brought the score to its final standing, Free Tosses Aid Shooting statistics percent agewise favored the Grizzlies but Crater mad sufficient use of more opportunities at the free shot line to manage the decision. The Comets made 18 of 24 foul tries for .750 while Ashland hit 14 of 17 for .823. From the field the Ash landers outdid the Comets 14 to 13 and had a 35 per cent accuracy mark to 31 by Crat er. Bill White was the big gun for Crater with five field goals and with eight -free points in nine attempts for an 18 tabulation for the evening. Maurer was high for Ashland with 13 markers. He Jiad six field goals. Crater surprised the Griz zlies with a zone defense, a factor in the victory which bothered Ashland play-making. The Comets also had two freshmen in the starting line up with Bryson LaCasse join ing Loyal Higinbotham who made his starter debut against Medford a week ago. Jayveei Sweep Early fouls hurt Ashland. Albert Hartwell was whistled for his fourth personal infrac tion in the second quarter." He sat out much of the rest of the time, finally fouling out in the last quarter. Maurer also was brought to the side lines in the third period after having a third foul whistled. Crater junior varsity made It a week and sweep over the Ashland jsyvees with a 42 to 15 Score.

Toni Sailer Takes Slat Meet Title Bad Gastein, Australia (W Disappointed Wallace (Bud) Werner of Steamboat Springs, Colo., figured he had "failed" today in the world ski championships, but no one else saw it his way. The crew-cut, 22-year-old Werner gave it one whale of a try in the downhill race that wound up the champion ships Sunday until he hit a big bump that knocked him out of contention and result ed in his finishing 36th on one ski. Austria's talented Toni Sailer, announcing he would compete in no more races this year and reported to be considering a movie career, made it a memorable finale by winning both the down hill race and tne overall "Al pine combined" title. 53 Miles Per Hour Sailer averaged a near in credible 53 miles per hour for the two and one-eighth mile course, winding up. two and one-tenth seconds ahead of his nearest rival in 2:28.5 Werner was seven-tenths of a second behind Sailer's pace at the halfway mark but then picked up speed and was about even with the.Austrian ace when he reached the last schuss leading to the finish That's when disaster struck, however. At the last gate, Werner crossed close to the right hand pole and hit a bump that oth er competitors had avoided by crossing on the other side. Catapulted into the air, the young Coloradoan hit the snow about 15 yards farther down and skidded down the slope another 50 yards, roll ing over several times.

The Tuesday game will be at Hudson's Bay high school in Vancouver, Wash Hawks Get Ultimatum - By UNITED PRESS Coach Alex Hannum may learn his future in St. Louis today upon the Hawks' ar rival home from a rocky road trip on which they dropped four of their last five games Hannum is in an unusual position. His Hawks lead the Western Division of the Na tional Basketball association by six games but club owner Ben Kerner delivered a curt "start-wihning-or-else" ultima tum to his coach eight days ago.

The last-place New York Knickerbockers, still hopeful of landing a play off berth in the Eastern-Div ision, beat the Detroit Pistons 100-98. Crackdown Set On Gamblers On Shipboard San Francisco (IP! Two West Coast Maritime unions are cracking down on pro fessional gamblers in their ranks who have been reap ing as much as $50,000 a month on a single ship by promoting games with their fellow seamen. Ed Turner, vice president of the Seafarers International and secretary-treasurer of the Marine Cooks and Stewards, said Friday the unions' cam paign was aimed at gamblers "who sign on as seamen and take aboard a regular bank roll to set up business." He said the unions intend to enforce the gambling ban by suspension, fine or expul sion from the union. How ever, Turner pointed out that the campaign was not aimed at passenger gambling nor was it designed to stop all "friendly" card games among crewmen. Turner said big time gam bling was most prevalent on passenger ships with large complements of stewards. He said that on the Matson lines SS Lurline "850,000 a month changes hands." Limits Possible On Oil Exports, Says Official Washington (IP) Secre tary of Commerce Sinclair Weeks has raised the possi bility the government may consider a compulsory limita tion on crude oil imports. Weeks, chairman of the president's special cabinet committee on imports, said in a statement that the "increas ingly serious" situation in the domestic petroleum industry makes it necessary that the committee "be called togeth er for consultatoin in the im mediate future." By "immediate future," he meant some time next week. He did not say specifically that the government is think ing of imposing compulsory curbs but he made it plain that the voluntary limitation plan, instituted by President Eisenhower last July, is not working. Under the voluntary sys tem, importers are supposed to reduce the amount of for eign crude oil they bring into this country by about 10 per cent Some big importers have complied with the sys tem, others have refused to heed it. Domestic production meanwhile has been cut back sharply and surpluses are clogging storage tanks. The Independent Petroleum Association of America warn ed last week that unless the administration takes correc tive action it will ask con gress to enact import restric tions.
