Newspaper Page Text10 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oreoon, Sunday, December 21, 1958 Cal Cagers Give Lesson To Gridders Br MIKE HUDSON XJniled Press International California's football players destined to face tough Iowa in the forthcoming Rose Bowl, had a lesson from their basketball-playing bretheren on Friday night. The Bear cagers breezed past the Hawkeyes 71-52 as West Coast quintets split eight major intersectional tussles. The Cal-Iowa joust was the first game of a PCC-Big Ten double-bill at Madison, Wis. Six-10 center Larrell Imhoff, who has overcome the awk wardness which hampered him last year as a soph, scored 27 points to spark the victory. Huskies Rebounding In the second half of the twin bill, Washington roared from behind at the half but then wrapped up the win as the veteran trio of Doug Smart, Bruno Boin and Earl Irvin all got hot. The victory was a big one for Washington which has rebounded for four straight wins after losing their opening two games. St. Mary's edged favored Utah 75-73 in a thriller at Salt Lake. The Gaels win was all the more amazing since St. Mary's standout soph Tom Meschery was sidelined with a leg injury.

Riverside 9 a.m. 6 p.m. Phoenix High 41-40 in Non Phoenix Dave McClurg's short shot from the edge of the keyhole gave Phoenix high a 41 to 40 nod over Henley high in a non-league basketball mix here on Fri day. Thirty seconds remained in the tussle when McClurg plunked in the bucket. The Pirates went into the final quarter trailing 36 to 28 in the thriller tussle. Then the terrific outside shooting by McClurg, Mike Reese and Don MacKintosh enabled the Home club to pull the tiff out of the fire. In the meantime Phoenix defense held the Hornets to just a pair of field goals. McClurg, Reese and Mac Kintosh hit long ones to pull Phoenix up to 36 to 34 mid way through the period. Phil Swisher shot from out for Henley but Macintosh count ered with two points. A Swisher shot then made it 40 to 36 for the Hornets. Ron Baker sank a free shot and Reese a shortie goal for 40 to 39 with a minute to go. A half-minute later McClurg got his winning basket. Phoenix led 12 to 7 at the quarter and the count was knotted at 19-each at the end of a ragged first half. Swisher was high man with 13 mark ers in the fracas and MacKin tosh collected 11. Henley got ite for the West Coast Athlet ic conference crown. UCLA had an easy time in the opener of a two-game ser ies with Colorado. The score was 58-48 in the Los Angeles tilt with Walt Tor rance meshing 18. Oklahoma Victor On the debit side of the ledger for the Coast, Okla homa dropped Southern Cali fornia from the unbeaten ranks with a 60-50 pasting at Norman.

Seattle lost to unbeat en Xavier 80-68 despite a 26 point performance by "Sweet" Charlie Brown of the Chieftains. Indiana met Oregon State at Corvallis and defeated them 57-53.

Olympic Group Votes $200,000 Reno, Nev.-(CPD - Nevada's Olympic commission (NOC) Saturday voted to turn 5200, 000 over to the California Olympic commission to aiding the 1960 winter Olympic games at Squaw Valley. The Nevada agency accept ed a promise by the Olympic organizing committee to bring the Slide Mountain area, Reno Ski Bowl, up to Olympic standards in time for the games. In case Slide Moun tain should be needed at the time of the Olympics, the Nevada money would be used to make any necessary im provements. Goodwill Gesture The first public meeting of the NOC was suprisingly quiet, compared to the furor which took place during the last week. But there still ap peared to be fundamental dif ferences of opinion as what the NOC was supposed to do. Commission members said they felt the "appropriation was made as a goodwill ges ture" and they would not be following the intent of the Nevada legislature if they specifically earmarked some of the the $200,000 to be spent in Nevada. The formal resolution sug gested the money be used for a specttor's center now under construction at Squaw Valley. The Nevada commission rec ommended it bear the name of the state and be dedicated by Nevada's governor. There was no discussion whatever of the additional $300,000 a California official said earlier this week Nevada had pledged to aid in staging of the games.

MEDFORDv&vTRIBUNE SMARTS Nino Gains TKO Over Irish Pat New York -(UPD Big Nino Valdes of Cuba, ecstatically elated over his first-round technical knockout of ' Pat McMurtry, announced today, "I am claiming the profes sional heavyweight champion ship of the world." The explosive giant, who tagged McMurtry of Tacoma, Wash., with the first knock out of his career at 2:39 of the first round Friday night in Madison Square Garden, declared: "I'll defend at any time against Floyd Patterson, who is really only an amateur champion because he defends only against amateurs. And I'll kill him because I'm an assassin a knockout assas sin." Says Floyd Afraid Valdes, who flew home to Havana this morning for a two-day visit, charged that Patterson was afraid to fight him because "he pulled away from a fight with me that was almost closed for the Garden on Dec. 5 or 12. Now he can get $400,000 for fighting me a Havana." Nino, who weighed 213 pounds, is rated second among contenders by Ring magazine and fourth by the NBA. He was favored at 13-10 Friday night. Referee Harry Kessler stopped the nationally tele vised and broadcast bout on Friday night because of New York state's three-knockdown provision. He ruled that 26-year-old Pat, who never had been on the canvas before was officially floored three times. Everyone admitted that Kessler acted correctly in stopping the massacre when he did. Pat who weighed 188 pounds, was in a floundering stupor at the time. Browns vs. Giants Game Today New York (UPD Can the Cleveland Browns extend pro fessional football's finest rec ord against the upstart New York Giants? Seventy thousand fans will jam Yankee stadium today and hundreds of thousands will tune in C.B.S. TV -radio broadcast at 2 p.m., EST, to learn the answer to that ques tion. Cleveland, boasting a mas ter coach in Paul Brown and perhaps the game's finest run ner in Jim Brown, will meet Coach Jim Lee Howell's un spectacular but spirited Giants in a playoff for the NaNtional Football League's Eastern division title. The winner will entertain the Baltimore Colts, Western di vision winners, in the league championship game Dec. 28. The Giants, who defeated the Browns twice this season by a total of seven points, are slight favorites. If the score is tied at the end of the regu lation game, the teams will go into "sudden death" over time with victory going to the first to score in any fashion. It is the first Eastern divis ion playoff since 1950, when the Giants also won both reg ular season contests with the Browns and then lost the play off game at Cleveland on an icy field, 8-3. Oregonian Man of Year Wichita, Kans.-flJPD - "Spon sors of the year" awards by the National Baseball Con gress have gone to an Oregon industrialist and a Texas cow boy. The wards, went to Harold Woolery of Drain, Ore., and Herbert Kokernot of Alpine, Tex.

IMPROVE YOUR FIREPLACE! IT Crater Crew Trims Eagle Point 64-44 Eagle Point - Crater high's hoopsters put to work their ballhawking, featured by full- court pressing tactics, capital ized on their warmest shoot ing of the early season and took advantage of Eagle cold ness to down Eagle Point 64 to 44 here Friday night in a non-league ruckus. Victory was the Comet's first in four games played so far. Eagle Point, an A-2 school, in bowing to the A-l Central Pointers, suffered its fourth setback in as many tangles. But the Eagles were a threat in the unspectacular tussle until Crater pulled away to its final gap in the last four minutes of the game. Higinbotham Has' 26 The Comets ' tallied on Wayne Allen's free toss in the first 10 seconds and were on top through the whole con flict. Scores by quarters were 18 to 10, 35 to 23 and 46 to 13. Loyal Higinbotham of Crater with eight field buck ets and 10 free tosses was high point man of the night with 26. Jim Nease collected 15 markers for the Eagles and Dave Huffman 11. Allen totaled out at 13 for the Com ets. After Crater's eight point first quarter standing Bill Turner sank a long shot for Eagle Point for 18 to 12 but the closest the Eagles could come to the Comets after that was eight points. Crater built up 17 point gaps of 46 to 29 and 50 to 33 in the second half only to see the deter mined Eagles bounce back to shrink them. After the 50 to 33 standing, Larry Smith swished two longs and a free shot for the Eagles and Bill Turner tabulated on a steal to cut the distance to 50 to 40 Comets Pull Away Crater's Chuck Turner hooked in a shot on . Bill White's feed but Huffman hit from close for the Eagles for 52 to 42. Then Higginbotham put in two free shots, Bill White a hook field toss, Tom White a free marker and Hig ginbotham another pair of gifters for a 17 point bulge again at 59 to 42. Huffman closed it a bit with two free heaves with IVi minutes to play but Allen scored on drivers and Kerman U. S. Sets Davis Cup Challenge Perth, Australia-(UPD-Amer-ica set up a Davis Cup chal lenge round m e e ti n g with Australia for the 15th straight time Saturdav when Alex Olmedo and Ham Richardson defeated Italy's Orlando Sir- ola and Nicola Pietrangeli in doublas, 7-9, 6-4, 13-11, 7-5. The triumph gave the Amer icans an insurmountable 3-0 lead over Italy in the inter- zone final. The Yanks will be underdogs when they meet Australia for the Davis Cup at Brisbane, Dec. 29-31. Immediately after the vic tory, Perry Jones, 70-year-old manager of the TJ. S. team, said he planned to substitute Barry M a c K a y of Dayton, Ohio, for Richardson in one of today's two w i n d u p singles matches, which now have been relegated to exhibitions. Olmedo, the star of the American victory over the Italians, was pitted against Sirola in the first of the con cluding singles contests, with MacKay playing Pietrangeli in the finale. 'The matches were due to start at 12:15 ajn. (EST) Sunday. MacKay, 23-year-old power hitter who made an excellent showing during last year's challenge round defeat by the Australians, was passed up by Jones for the starting singles assignments this week. With Richardson off his game, however, it was believ ed that Jones wanted to take another look good at MacKay before the challenge round.
