Three Northwest Teams
Win in Coast Cage Action
United Press International
Three flashy victories by
northwestern members of the
Pacific Coast conference and
the complete deflation of the
USF Dons highlighted Mon
day's west coast cage action.
At Corvallis, host Oregon
State treated its guests rudely
by capturing the Far West
Classic tournament with a
hairbreadth 73-72 win over
Iowa.
Lee Harmon, whose play
making was a key factor in
last year's 20-6 mark, took
Everett J. C. Nips
Red Raiders 66-62
Ashland Everett Jaycee
scored two field goals in the
last two minutes of play to
take a 66-62 win from the
Southern Oregon college Red
Raiders here last night.
Doug McLean hit a jump
shot with a minute and half
to go and then in the last ten
seconds Tom Hollis raced all
along for the final two-pointer.
The Raiders had led from
the waning moments of the
first half and all through the
second half until the fatal two
Ducks Win
In Final
Seconds
Oklahoma City -(UPD- Ore
gon's Bud Kuykendall pushed
through a 35-foot field goal
in the last three seconds of
Oregon's game with Tulsa
Monday to give the West
Coast team a 67-65 win over
the Golden Hurricane in the
consolation finals of the all
college basketball tournament
here.
The victory gave Oregon
fifth place in the event, and
dumped Tulsa to sixth. The
Hurricane had been seeded
second.
Oregon had taken a slim 32
30 lead at halftime, and then
had led through most of the
second half. But with only 18
seconds left, Tulsa's Bobby
Lee Goodall tied the score at
65-65.
Then Kuykendall sifted
through the Tulsa defenses
and looped his long field goal
for the last-moment victory.
Denny Strickland had 75
per cent accuracy from the
field for Oregon, hitting 12 of
16 tries and adding four free
throws for 28 points.
Kuykendall had 11 points.
For Tulsa, Roger Wendel had
11 and Goodall had 10.

Atlas Satellite
Has New Lease
Washington -(UPD- America's
Atlas satellite today had a
new lease on life.
The Defense department
announced the Pullman car
sized satellite will orbit the
earth for 45 days-more than
twice as long as originally ex
pected. The department estimated
that the 8,700-pound satellite,
launched on Dec. 18, would
reenter the atmosphere and
burn up about Feb. 1. It orig
inally had been expected to
orbit for only about 20 days.
The department said the
batteries which make the At
las a talking satellite still are
expected to go dead after 20
days. This will mean an end
to current experiments in the
multiple relay communica
tions. The department attributed
the satellite's extended life to
the accuracy of the missile
guidance system used to hurl
it into orbit. It said the sys
tem "exceeded expectations."

Coaches
Get Blues
Over Team
El Paso, Tex. -(UPD- Coaches
Sammy Baugh of Hardin-Sim-mons
and Bob Devaney of
Wyoming both were worried
about Baugh's team today, as
each squad went into final
one-half-hour workouts be
fore Wednesday's clash in the
Sun Bowl football game. "
Baugh said his starters at
halfback and end definitely
were out of the game with
injuries, and that his regular
quarterback might not last
the game.
Devaney said it was the 25-pound-per-man
weight super
iority in the Texas' line that
had him worried.
Suffer Injuries
Earl Brown, 180-pound sen
ior halfback, and Keith Miles,
205-pound senior end, are out
of the 24th renewal of the
Sun bowl classic because of
knee injuries Baugh proclaim
ed. He also questioned whether
his 150-pound sophomore
quarterback, Harold Stephens
would be able to last the en
tire game because of a knee
injury which apparently is
not healed completely.
Devaney's team condition
report was perfect. He said
key personnel were free of
injuries, but that the big
Hardin-Simmons line was his
chief worry.
"They outweigh us 25
pounds per man in that line,"
said Devaney. "The final out
come may well be decided in
the line."

Klurman, who has suddenly
blossomed into one of the
coast's top scorers, meshed 29
points.
Klurman made news on an
other front Monday when he
told a basketball luncheon

admittedly a "phenomenonal
shot," he also greatly benefit
ed from local refs who saw
that he was not guarded too
closely.

To Honor Airmen

scheduled for today to honor
the 15 men who died when
their C-54 cargo plane crashed

said it had "reluctantly"
abandoned hope of recovering
the bodies of the 15 airmen,
at least until next summer.
Air command officials said
aerial photos and visual exam
ination of the crash scene on
the rugged peak revealed that
an attempt to reach the wreck
age would "only endanger
more lives."

By 72-71
Corvallis - (UPD - Lee Har
man's free throw with two
seconds left capped a brilliant
comeback by the Oregon
State Beavers here Monday
night as they topped Iowa
72-71 to win the Far West
Basketball classic for the
third year in a row.
Oregon State had taken the
lead 71-69 after trailing by
14 points at halftime when

went in for the cripple with
less than a minute to play.
Iowa was not through yet
as Jim Anderson missed a
free throw moments later and
the Hawkeyes took the re
bound. They went downcourt
and big Dave Gunther
rammed through two points
to tie it at 71-all with 15 sec
onds left.
Fouled by Seaberg
But in the scramble for a
loose ball as Harman was
bringing it down court he
was fouled by George Sea
berg of Iowa.
Harman dropped in his first
but missed the second. It
didn't matter however, as
Iowa didn't have time to get
the ball in play.
Oregon State narrowed the
margin to four points six
times in the second half but
couldn't tie until Anderson
hit a hook shot with 1:34 left
to play.
Harman,' who was voted
most valuable player of the
tournament by the coaches,

while relaxing during the
Christmas holiday, but this
week Oscar Robertson and
company get a stiff test to
determine their right to the
No. 1 spot.
Coach George Smith's Bear
cats, who led Kentucky by
only 19 points in this week's
rankings by the UPI Board
of Coaches, are engrossed in
the Dixie Classic, rated the
toughest of the holiday tour
nament. Cincinnati beat Wake
Forest, 94-70, in its first Dixie
Classic game Monday after
noon, but conceivably could
meet two teams in this week's
top 10 before the tournament
is over.

Grid Worry
Miami -(UPD- Florida's wea
ther and Oklahoma's speed
were the big problems facing
Syracuse Coach Floyd
Schwartzwalder today as his
Orangemen got ready for
their Orange Bowl battle
with the Sooners.
"I expect the heat to bother
us," Schwartzwalder said on
Monday after a long hot aft
ernoon. It was a cool 61 for
the morning practice however
and he hoped similar temper
atures would prevail New
Year's Day.
As for Oklahoma's speedy
offense, the coach admitted
that was one matter he still
had no answer for.
But he declared with feel
ing that this year's Syracuse
team is an "entirely different
bunch from the one we
brought here in 1953."
That was the year Ala
bama crushed Syracuse, 61-6,
and the Orangemen have nev
er forgotten it.
