Russ Grapplers Gain Respect For Americans New York (UJ Russia's champion wrestlers said to day they'll go home with plenty of respect for United States fans and for captain Terry McCann of the Yank team that they whipped four times In as many tries. McCann, former University of Tulsa collegian, collected the only three victories scored by the U.S. team- He won a unanimous decision over Vlad imir Arscenyan Thursday night when the Soviet team ended its brief tour with a 6-1 victory. The other bout ended in a draw before a standing room crowd of more, thav ,,200 at the New York Athletic Club. Bill Kerslake, 312-pound national AAU heavyweight champion from Cleveland, Ohio, drew with 212-pound Otar Kandelaki to end the pro gram with some chuckles. The crowd which included Mik hail A. Menshikov, Russian ambassador to the United States, laughed at Kande laki's futile bids to get a grip on the huge Kerslake.

The Cavemen were runners-up in 1957 while Crater was third and Rose burg fourth. Meet Director Jess Loffer reported that only a cham- plate, he has two triples and one home run. Sword and King also have single home runs to their credit. Coach Ted Schopf has three good pitchers in Dave D'Olivo, Kermit McLemore and Jack Brown. Relief help will come from Dale Walters and Jim Dietz. Schopf lost his top re lief hurler earlier this week. Jim Eggers sprained his an kle and will be out for more than a month. Heavy hitting Maurer will start at first base and Gordie Thoreson gets the call at third. The keystone combination has veteran Willie Jones at shortstop and Dietz at second. The Raiders have good infield depth in Chuck Nevi and El don Francis both of whom are good glove men with Nevi having an edge in hitting. The outfield consists main ly of Jim McAbee in left, King in center, and Ron Maurer in right of late. Maurer split his finger and has been alternating with Francis in the outfield until it heals. Pinch hitting will come from long ball hitting Ray Weinhold and Al Kimura ihe catching department is headed by Sword with Ron Maurer and McAbee alternat ing when necessary. The Raiders will face a club which has not shown too much in early season play. The Owls lack pitching and defensive qualities. However, Oregon Tech has shown nice hitting power on occasion. Shortstop Charlie Ganter has one home run to his credit and a number of the Owls have been giving the ball a long ride. To date the Raiders have won four and lost three. Their last win over Chico State was aided by Larry Maurer's hom er which ended Chico's win ning streak at 11 for the sea son. After the Oregon Tech dou bleheader.

Shorter races in the meet will be run in heats with each runner to be timed individu ally to determine winners. The host school, Medford and Crater each are expected to have full squads in the meet. Hill On Sick Lisi Coach Dean Benson of Med ford said that he planned to take 40 or more youths. He in dicated that just about every squad member has been doing well in drill. However, Bruce Hill, half-miler has been sick and his availability for Sat urday was questionable. The three Rogue valley schools in the meet are par ticularly interested in the chance to compare individual performances with the idea of determining their chances in the district contest which de termines state meet entries. Several field events will start at 1:30 p.m. Saturday with first races planned for 2 p.m. Cordy Runs Best Half In Division University of Oregon, Eu gene Washington State's sur prising Cougars moved into a tie with Oregon's top track stars this week as each team placed five leaders among the top 1958 Northern division performances while Washing ton landed three and Idaho and Oregon State each had one. This week end the Ducks and the Cougars meet at Eu gene in the top competition of the conference schedule while Washington faces Idaho and Oregon State goes out of the conference. Five first place men, Don Maw of WSC in the 220, Cliff Cprdy of OSC in the 880, Dick Rubsenser of the Cougars in ihe javelin, Steve Frye of WSC in the shot, and Spike Arlt of WSC in the low hurdles, either moved into the leaders spot or improved their old mark in the action last week. Arlt's mark in the high hurdles stood up and this ac counted for the five places held by Washington State. Oregon had Jim Grelle in the mile, Gene Estes in the discus, Jack Burg in the pole vault, Ken Grant in the high jump and Dave Edstrom .in the broad jump while Washing ton scored with Terry Tobacco in the 440, Gary Mapes in the 100 and the Husky relay team. Another dozen second and third place marks were either improved or new men moved in last week and another major shuffle is apt to take place at Hayward Field when the Cougars and Ducks tangle Saturday. Oregon carries a 25-meet winning streak into the meet and has not been beaten in the conference since midway in the 1953 season. 100 Gary Mapes (W) 9.6; Jack Morris (0) 9.7 (nw); Don Maw (WSC) 9.8 (nw) 220 Don Maw (WSC) 21.3; Day ton Kolstad (W) 22.1; Steve Ander son (O) 22.5 440 Terry Tobacco (W) 48.6; Dave McCulloch (W) 49.5; Lee Hall (WSC) 50.1 880 Cliff Cordy (OSC) 1.52.9; Bill Moser (W) 1.53.0 (nw); Jim Grelle (O) 1:55.4 Mile Jim Grelle (O) 4.06.8; Jack Larson (W) 4:10.4; Ron Adams (I) 4.24.1 Two-mile Frank Wyatt (I) 9:19.1; Mark Robbins (O) 9.24.0 (nw); Ernie Brannom (W) 9:36.1 High hurdles Spike Arlt (WSC) 14.5; Dave Edstrom (O) 14.7; Bar ney Olberg (W) 15.0 Low hurdles Spike Arlt (WSC) 24.1; Steve Anderson (O) 24.6; Bar new Olberg (W) 25.1 Shot put Steve Frye (WSC) 54.5; Will Reeve (O) 51?;"; Don Bender (W) 51 li Discus Gene Estes (0) 154-11; Don Nelson (WSC) 150-7; Steve Frye (WSC) 147-1 ',4 Broad jump Dave Edstrom (O) 23.9; Steve Anderson (0) 23-5; Sam Taylor (O) 23-3 High jump Ken Grant (O) 6-2; Dave Edstrom (0) and Don Cres well (0 6-1 Pole Vault Jack Burg (O) 13-6; Jack Fanning ' (WSC) 13-3; Bob Decker (O) 13-0 Javelin Dick Rubsenser (WSC) 210-8; D.C.

AH 20 players in the game are stars of the National Bask etball association. Professional rules, includ ing the "24 second rule," which prevents freezing will be followed, and NBA ref erees will do the whistle blowing. Cousy is the playmaking mainstay of the Eastern team which will also feature Cousy's Boston teammates, Bill Russell and Bill Shar man; Dolph Schayes of the Syracuse Nationals, highest scorer in pro basketball his tory; Kenny Sears of the New York Knickerbockers and Paul Arizin of the Phil adelphia Warriors. Yardley Leads The Western All-Stars will be led by George Yardley of Stanford and the Detroit Pis tons who s et a new season scoring record in the NBA this year with 2001 points to eclipse George Mikan's rec ord.

Top nine scorers in pro basketball this past season are represented on the clubs, in cluding Yardley, Schayes, and Pettit, who finished one-two-three.

Cousy has led the NBA in assists for six straight sea sons. He barely edged Dick McGuire of the Detroit Pist ons, who will be in the West ern line-up Friday, on the last day of the season to maintain his reign. Godih Opposes Baker Tonight Washington (IP) Lahou rari (Larry) Godih, French lightweight champion from Algeria, risks a 19-bout win ning streak tonight when he makes his American debut at Capital arena in a nationally televised bout against welter weight Larry Baker. And Godih was frankly hoping that this ring would be as lucky for him as it was for another African fighter from the same "stable," world featherweight champion Ho gan (Kid) Bassey. Bassey, a Nigerian, also made his first American ap pearance at Capitol arena last April. The Kid, then British Empire featherweight champ, beat Miguel Berrios in a 12 rounder. Bassey and Godih both are managed by Jersey Jones. Tonight's bout was a late fill-in for a scheduled match between Alex Miteff of Ar gentina and Willie Besmanoff of Germany, both ranking heavyweights. The fight was called off early in the week when Miteff developed a body rash. Builders Supply QUALITY BLOCKS Bricks, Flues, Drain Tile 727 W. McAndrews Ph.

Francis last week set a new school record of 195 feet 5 inches. Clayton and Dick Johnson will also compete in the javelin. Both men have been throwing over 175 feet of late. Johnson gets the call also in the high and low hurdles and possibly the broad jump. Lockard in Discus Dave Lockard, defending OCC champion in the discus, will enter that event in addi tion to the shot put. Len Dobry will be a second entry in the same events with Dick Smith the third in the shot and Noble Adamack the third in the discus.

Jack Johnson and George Perreard are nominees in the 880 yard run and Don Moody and Rich Scott running in the mile and two-mile. A relay team is yet to be picked and probably will not be chosen until just before race time. Entrants will be the same in both events unless some thing occurs to alter the events.

Spokane, Phoenix and Salt Lake City, replacements for Los Angeles, San Francisco and Hollywood, in that order, have been having trouble get ting started off on the right foot, either because of the weather or the opposing team. Vancouver handed Salt Lake a double loss Thursday night, winning the opener of a twin bill, 7-2, and following it up with a 10-9 victory in the nightcap. The wins put the Mounties in first place in the standings with a 3-0 rec ord while the Bees reigned supreme at the other end of the ladder with an 0-3 mark. At Phoenix, the Giants suf fered their second defeat at the hands of San Diego, drop ping a 6-4 decision to the Padres. The loss put Phoenix a step above Salt Lake. Hurls Two-Hitter Elmer Singleton pitched a two-hitter at Portland to give the Beavers a 9-1 victory over Sacramento. It was the first complete game for both clubs, having been rained out the previous two nights. The Spokane-Seattle contest was rained out, leaving both teams with 1-1 records. The same clubs will meet each other again tonight, weather permitting, with doubleheaders on tap at Se attle and Phoenix.

The Mounties scored five runs in the seventh to break a 2-2 tie and gain the victory. In the second game, the Mounties were forced to hold on during the final innings for the victory. Salt Lake pull ed within one run of the win ners with four runs in the seventh and a pair in the eighth. But reliever Mel Held blanked the Bees in the ninth to give starter Art Cecarelli his first victory. Paul Pettit of Salt Lake had the game's only homer. Giant Rally Falls Short At Phoenix, the Padres left 11 Giant runners stranded while gaining their second victory. Bill Dailey, who weakened in the ninth when Bill Wilson smacked a homer with one on, gained the vic tory. The Padres had 12 hits to the Giants' 11. Gordon Jones took the loss. . Sacramento could do noth ing against Portland's Single ton while the Beavers, paced by George Freese's two home runs and five runs-batted-in, collected 10 hits off two Solon hurlers for the victory. In addition to the weather troubles nine games rained out and another hampered by a sand storm at Phoenix the PCL was faced with a parallel difficulty today dwindling attendance. Only 933 customers showed up at Phoenix Thursday night while Vancouver fared little better with a tiny crowd of 971.
