Washington St. United Press International UCLA, which didn't look like a contender earlier this season, led the Pacific Coast Conference basketball race by a half-game today and that's just the way things must stand until Feb. 6 when the lull for midterm exams ends. The Bruins, losers in two of their first three PCC tilts this year, won their fourth in a row Saturday by nipping Southern California, 65-63. The damage was done by Walt Torrence, who paced UCLA with 20 points and meshed the winning basket with 30 seconds to play after picking off a pass from the Trojans' Jim White.

Pittsburgh Need Lefty, Hitting (This is the fifth of IB dispatches by the major league managers giving a mid-winter appraisal of their teams.) By DANNY MURTAUGH Manager, Pittsburgh Pirates (Written for UPI) Woodlyn, Pa. - (UPD - The Pittsburgh Pirates made me the National league manager of the year in 1958. Give us a winning left handed starter, and some of fensive 1 power behind the plate, and they can make themselves the team of the year in 1959. Of course, the team to beat is Milwaukee. Make no mis take about that. But our club did real well last year and with a left-hander who can start and win - we didn't have one last year and some hitting that Hank Foiies is capable of if he doesn't get S. Riverside, Medford MEDrmDfTRLBUNE SIPCDIffiTTS Crater Tips Ashland Cage Quintet 49-47; Grizzly Rally Strong SOUTHERN OREGON CONFERENCE STANDINGS Klamath Falls 4 I Medford ' 3 1 Grants Pass 3 2 Crater , , 2 3 Ashland 0 5 Pet. .800 .750 .600 .400 .000 Ashland-Crater high wrote up its second Southern Ore gon conference basketball de cision of 1959 here Saturday night but it was a close, call. The Comets of Central Point held a 49 to 47 edge over the Ashland Grizzlies at the final buzzer after the victory starved Bruins had come to within a point of overtaking them in the concluding min utes. It- was the eleventh loss against no victories for the Grizzlies this season and their fifth setback in the league. Second half script Satur day just about followed the pattern of the league opener battle between the two schools which Crater also won by two points. The Com ets alternately built up good spreads then lost them. They led by 11 points early in the third stanza and by nine near the start of the third quarter, And in the end it was the overall margin in free tosses that made the difference in the scoring totals. Pirates hurt, why, we can be the team to beat. That's a large order, and no one likes to get cocky in a league which can beat your brains out if you slip only a little bit, but basically, we're sound. We have good pitching and adequate defense. We have good team speed. With a little help in the two de partments I noted, we can improve. Good Mound Staff When you improve from second place, what's left but first place? The backbone of the 1959 Pirates will be the 1958 Pi rates who played .632 ball coming from seventh place to second by winning 48 and losing 28 in the last half of the season. I shudder, how ever, to recall that Milwaukee played .642 ball at the same time! For pitchers, we have Bob Friend, a 22-game winner last year, the league's leading righthander and the winning est Pirate in 30 years and rookie George Witt who couldn't get anyone out at the start of the year - and then came back for a 9-2 rec ord and a 1.61 earned run average. Vera Law won 14, Curt Eaydon had an 8-4 first year record. Ronnie Kline should have won at least 16, instead of the 13 he did win. Roy Face saved 26 games -tops in the majors in 1958. I have a big hope that Foiies will hit better this ' i 1 year, u ne can approacn uie 1957 batting, were set. ties one of the better defensive catchers in the league. ' Strong Infield Ted Kluszewskl, slugging Dick Stuart and Rocky Nel son give us plenty of offense at first base - and BUI Maz eroski and Dick Groat give us all we need at second and short. It's often said-- and not by me alone - these two do more to wm a ball game both offensively and defen sively than any other com bination in the league. Frank Thomas at third is ... 1 c OUf Dig power man ou homers and 105 RBI's last year. And our outfield com Dared with the best defensive ly they all can run fast and all are good aeiensive iieia- ers. Bob Skinner in left is cap able of leading the league m hitting one of these days -Billy Virdon in center is rated by most managers as second only to Willie Mays in the field and Roberto Clemente is a power guy to have around. Rookies Coming Up We won't have Clemente until a couple of weeks after the season opens. He went in to the Marines last October! and is due back April 4. It nrobably will take a week or two for him to come aronud. But, we have Jim McDaniel, who hit better tnan 3D nome runs at Salt Lake last year, coming up. We're digging into the I minors hunting that left handed starter who can win. Bob Johnson was the take charge guy in the final rally which almost caught the Com ets. After going without field bucket for Ashland for three quarters, he hit three in a- row which shrunk a Cra- ter gap of 46 to 37 down to 46 to 43. He swished on a driver, a swing across the key hole and on a jump from the side of the slot. Four and one-fourth minutes were left to play after this splurge. The teams went scoreless for the next two minutes then Bob Hardy potted a mid- range jumper for Ashland and the Comet lead was only 46 to 45. With less than two minutes to play Dennis Pfaff connected for Crater on a risky long pusher and seconds later Wayne Allen added a gifter for 49 to 45 against the pressing Grizzlies. With less than a minute to play Clark Smith got a free shot chance on a charging foul. "He added two points for the Grizzlies. With a half- minute left Crater lost the ball on steps under the bask et. Steve Gray tried a long shot for Ashland but it mis fired and Wayne Allen got the ball on the rebound. The Comets held on for the final 20 seconds. Take Lead in Second Crater took permanent lead in the fracas when Bill White hit for 14 to 13 from under the hoop on a drive and hook. This was IVi min utes into the second quarter The Comets widened to 19 to 14, to 23 to 16. Ashland pulled up to 23 to 22 and Jim Bjork paced efforts of the Grizzlies. Then Chuck Turner put in a free shot for Crater and Pfaff and Wayne Allen pumped in first break buck ets. Bill White contributed a pair of gifters for 30 to 22 at halftime. Loyal Higinbotham's free point and Bill White's push made it 33 to 22 for Crater at the start of the second quarter but Bjork's and Pete Stemple's longie's, Smith's two free heaves and long push by Stemple made it 33 to 30. 41-37 After 3rd Quarter Turner of Crater and Hardy of Ashland traded field goals. Turner and Wayne Al len got drivers for 39 to 37. Doug Forrest's rebounder and Smith's hook, hacked it to 39 to 36. Bill White got a brace of free shots for the Comets and Johnson put in one for Ashland for 41 to 37 at the three-fourth's pause. John Burner flipped in shots from the field and free line and Higinbotham hit a jump for the 46 to 37 margin. Crater won out on its 19 to 11 advantage in free points, getting 14 gifters in the first half. Ashland had the most field goals 18 to 15. Pfaff was the game's high point totaler with 13 and White had 11 Bjork hit 12 for Ashland, Johnson 11 and Smith 10. Rebounding was almost even with Ashland showing a 31 to 28 margin. White had nine retrieves for Crater and Smith eight for Ashland. Jayvee Thriller Crater had a 12 to 7 lead after one .quarter of the game, twice tying tne game after Ashland took a 3 to 0 jump and then going ahead at 8 to 7. A goal by Bjork and two by Smith put Ash land ahead for the last time at 13 to 12. Crater came from six points back with a press in the last quarter to nose out Ashland 36 to 35 in the junior varsity preliminary. With two min utes left Denny . Edwards goaled off an out-of-bounds play and then put in a free shot to tie up the game at 34 all. Bob Voris plunked an Ashland gifter with just over a minute to go. Seconds later Dave Foote put in the win ning bucket for Crater on a fast break, getting an assist from Bill Anhorn. It was Foote's only score of the game. Score was 12-each at the half. Edwards led scoring with 17 points while Phil Tucker and Voris each had 10 for Ashland. Crater FG FT B PF TP Burns 3-2 6-13 1 5 King 7-1 3-2 6 1 4 B.
