Crater Nips Ashland
To Divide in Series
Central Point Ashland
hopes of gaining ground in
the campaign for one of two
state basketball tourney
berths from District 6 A-l
were jolted Saturday night
when the Crater high Comets !
recuperated from a slow start
to nick the Grizzlies here 44
to 42.
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. Each club had 14
field goals for the second eve
ning in a row with Crater's
margin coming on 14 free
points on 23 throws while the
Grizzlies put in eight of 12
Ashland shot less from the-
field but was more accurate
with .388. The Comets fired
.350. Rebounds were almost
even but 25 to 24 for Crater.
The Central Point club had
a 30 to 20 gap in the fourth
panel. Quarters "standings
were 7 to a, 17 to 13 and 29
to 23, all for Crater.

Military Reserve
Reported Lagging
Washington (IP Brig.
Gen. David Sarnoff said Sat
urday night he has noticed
'"disquieting signs" in recent
months that the military re
serve program "has been lag
ging." Sarnoff, board chairman of
the Radio Corporation of Am
erica, told the reserve offi
cers association that military
reserves are "more important
than ever before" in this
space age.
Sen. J. William Fulbright
(D-Ark.) also urged the asso
ciation to make it "its most
solemn duty" to rally all Am
ericans to face up to the dan
gers of the Soviet challenge.
Unless there is a drastic
change in national policy,
national disaster" is possible,
Fulbright said.
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.

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 Hawks managed to win
only one game in five starts
since then. Philadelphia, hot
test team in the circuit at the
moment, defeated St. Louis,
105-98, Sunday for its sev
enth victory in eight starts
Togo Palazzi scored seven
straight points in the fourth
period to. help the Syracuse
Nationals defeat his former
Boston Celtic teammates, 123-98.
Cincinnati strengthened its
hold on second place in the
Western Division with a 121
104 win over the Minneapo
lis Lakers. 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. ' i

Pirates led the Rogue Basket
ball league by a slender half
game after tripping the
Brookings Bruins 52 to 47 at
Brookings on Saturday eve
ning. The outcome broke a three
way knot for first place which
had existed among Brookings,
Glendale and Phoenix after
Friday contention.
It was a close, well-played
game at Brookings with both
clubs alternating zone and
man-to-man defense. Phoenix
went on top to stay on Jim
Stout's lay-in for 48 to 47
with 1V4 minutes to go. Jim
Heath and Stout each put in
a pair of free shots to pad out
the scoring.
Score was deadlocked 11
all at the quarter and 24-all
at halftime. Phoenix was
ahead 36 to 35 after three
periods. There were lead
switches a number of times in
the fracas.
Brookings Controls Boards
Brookings with its tall front
men controlled the back
boards 43 to 28 but the Pirates
got 20 points from Stout, one
of his better games from Doug
Witte who had five field buck
ets and good floor work from
Lester Schleigh and Heath.
Jim Waldron did a fine job
in holding down the Bruins
tall Marv Bullock.
Bill Workinger was high
man for Brookings with 14.
Phoenix shot 18 for 52 for.
.346 from the field and Brook
ings 17 for 51 for .333. At the
free line the Pirates made 16
