SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, February 26, 1958 Kansas State, SF (Gain NCAA (Berths; Gaefl Backers I red By TIM MORIARTY United Press Sports Writer Kansas State and San Fran cisco waltzed into the NCAA Basketball tournament today while Duke paid the price for underestimating one of its lowly "cousins' in the Atlan tic Coast conference. Led by big Bob Boozer's 23 points, top-ranked Kansas State clinched the Big Eight conference championship Tuesday night by whipping Oklahoma. 68-51. and the third-ranked Dons wrapped up the West Coast conference crown by sneaking past St. Mary's, Calif., 49-47. Duke, obviously looking ahead to its crucial game with Hedrick JH Cage Fives Win Three Hedrick Junior High school basketball teams took three games from Eagle Pointers Tuesday. The Hornet ninth won 48 to 40 over an improved Eagle Point club. Eighth grade re sult was 34 to 15 reversing a previous outcome and sev enth grade score was 44 to 17. Eagle Point led 13 to 10 at the quarter of the ninth grade mix but Hedrick was on top 26 to 17 at the half and 25 to 27 after three quar ters. Bob Mclntyre of Hed rick and Tex Perdue of Eagle Point each had 12 points. The Hornet eighth had 9 to 3, 15 to 7 and 16 to 12 per iod leads and broke away in the final quarter. David Ir ving paced the win with 15 points. Seventh grade quar ter gaps were 19 to 5, 30 to 10 and 44 to 11. Starters saw little action for Hedrick. Dan Miles put in 12 and Gibb Mitchell 10 for the Hornets.

HP) Bea- verton cinched a place in the state A-l tournament Tuesday night by defeating Parkrose high 65-50 in a Metro league basketball game. Astoria earl ier won the loop's top berth. North Carolina Friday night, dropped a 70-68 verdict to Virginia in the third overtime period. It was one of the sea son's biggest upsets and pre- J vented Duke from clinching at least a share of the ACC regular-season championship. The Blue Devils and North Carolina will carry identical 10-3 conference records into Friday's showdown at Chapel Hill, N.C., but the winner will not move into the NCAA championship. The ACC rep resentative will be deter mined next week in a post season tournament at Raleigh. By NEAL CORBETT United Press Sports Writer The University of San Fran cisco Dons proudly hailed their fourth straight West Coast Athletic conference bas ketball title today but a few growling St. Mary's fans still maintained that it was handed to them. For a while Tuesday night, it looked like the Dons might have to wait awhile before they could pick up their tick et to the NCAA regional play offs next month. St. Mary's outplayed the fourth-ranked Dons throughout the first half and was holding its own in the second when two of the Gaels' top stars were thumbed out on fouls. USF won, 49-47, and the officials had to be escorted through the Gael fans by police. Dons Trail at Half The Dons trailed at half- time, 26-23, for the first time since before Christmas. It was their 18th straight victory and 21st in 22 games. Art Day led the attack with 20 points, while Dick Sigaty of St. Mary's, the league's top scor er was held to 10. San Jose State ruined Santa Clara's hopes for a second place tie with St. Mary's by defeating the Broncs, 54-40, The Spartans led from start to finish behind the sharp- sftooting of Eddie Diaz, who scored 19 points. Jim Taylor led the Broncs with 11. Meanwhile Chico State moved into the District 8 NCAA small college tourna ment by defeating the Uni versity of Nevada, 59-54. It was the Wildcats' first win over Nevada in four tries this season. The two teams finished the Far Western Conference sea son in a first place tie and held the playoff to determine the FWC's entry in the tourney. cs H w ( K --wr . i .lfss. ft STILL WINNING, University of San Francisco's Dons roll up 67-50 score against Santa Clara Broncos.

Willie Pastrano Takes Decision London (IP) Willie Pas- trano's second fight in Eng land wasn't as impressive as his first, but the third- ranked heavyweight from New Orleans isn't turning his back on the British Isles. Pastrano scored an unpop ular 10-round decision over Brian London Tuesday night before an estimated 10,000 fans, who booed referee Bill Williams' verdict and tossed empty beer cans and coins into the ring at Harringay Arena. The Louisiana boxer had beaten Dick Richardson of Wales in the same ring only four months ago, but London turned out to be a much tougher opponent. The son of former British heavyweight champion Jack London trad ed blows with Pastrano throughout the bout and his followers felt he deserved at least a draw. London suffered the first knockdown of his career in the fifth round when Pastrano landed a hard right to the body. However, the referee called it a low blow and stop ped the fight to warn Pas trano to "keep 'em up." It was the second time Williams had halted the ac- tion to admonish Pastrano about using unfair tactics. In the fourth round, he caution ed the Yank to "keep your head up" and to "stop butting."

SP 2-4756 By JOE SARGIS United Press Sports Writer Maybe it's a little too early for predictions, but a half a dozen or so youngsters al ready are kicking up then heels in the various major league training camps. The New York Yankees, forerunners of the instruction al school, "graduated" four farm hands Tuesday, and as usual Manager Casey Stengel got in a few hundred well chosen words of praise each. Picked to train with the varsity after catching Steng el's eye were outfielder Der on Johnson, pitchers Zack Monroe and Johnny James and Billy Johnson. Deron Johnson, only 19, impressed while working out at third base where he is expected to see a lot of action during the training phase ahead. , "Look at the way he gets the job done out there," Cas ey beamed. "He charges the ball and it just seems to run into his hands. You can bet one thing, he's going to get a chance." Played With Binghamton Deron Johnson moved up to Binghamton in the Eastern league last year after a fine first year in organized ball at Kearney, in the Class D Nebraska' State league in 1956. James was at Richmond in the International league last year, while Monroe played at Denver in the American as sociation. Meanwhile, only a couple miles away in the St. Louis Cardinals' training camp at St. Petersburg, General Man ager Bing Devine was beat ing the drums for "kid" pitch ers Billy .Muffett, who was with the club last season, and rookie reliever Phil Clark, who won 16 games for Hou ston in the Texas league last year. Muffett had a 3-2 rec ord in 1957. The Chicago White Sox, who are looking for long ball hitters to back up their "class" pitching staff, think they may have found a good prospect in 18-year-old out fielder John Callison, up from Bakersfield in the Class C California league. Callison had Manager Al Lopez beam ing when he belted a couple of 400-foot homers during a on workout at Tampa. Two other rookies, catcher Camilo Carreon and first base man Donald Mincher, also showed Lopez strong poten tial, particularly Carreqn who hit two balls over the left field fence at the Sox' train ing base in Tampa. Jenkins Voted Most Valuable MJH Grappler McLoughln Junior high freshman wrestling squad gathered last night at the home of coach John Reed to celebrate an undefeated sea son and the winning of the Southern Oregon conference crown. A potluck dinner was held by 26 of the squad members, and coaches and their wives, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Doran, and Mr. and Mrs. Reed. During the course of the evening the captain-elect was announced. Ward Moyer, 95 pounder, was the recipient of this honor. Dave Jenkins was voted as the most valuable wrestler. Dave is the 145 pound champion. Films of two of the matches were shown and the remain der of the evening was spent in cards and the popular pas time of TV watching.

Any interferences in the week's program would be regarded by the rebels as embarrassing to the regime of President Fulgencio Bastista.
