another Los Angeles product,
was named to the UPl's first
string All-American football
team last fall.
Harman is having a tre
mendous season and already
has been acclaimed the top
backcourt man in the West
by some. He also plays under
the basket and in the key
hole almost as effectively de
spite his lack of height.
Backbone of OSC Attack
Harman, a kid whose only
fault was that he used to get
angry at himself, has practi
cally carried Oregon State on
his back so far.
The 21 - year - old athlete
came here four years ago from
University High at Los An
geles where he was player
of the year in prep circles,
He didn't play freshman bas
ketball. Instead, he joined an
AAU team composed of mem
bers of Oregon State's 1955
Pacific Coast conference
champions.
. In his first two varsity sea
sons, the potential was there
but Harman didn't quite at
tain greatness. Last season,
playing in the shadow of
Gambee, Lee scored 173
points in 26 games. In his
first 13 games this season he
scored 201 points for a 15.5
average. He's the only man on
the team with an average of
10 points per game or better,
He's hit approximately 43 per
cent of his field goals.
"He works under the boards
like someone four or five
inches taller," Gill says. "His
defense is good, he dribbles
well and few can pass as well
as he does. He can play any
one of several positions."
-Harman's greatest perform
ance came in December
against Iowa during the finals
of the "Far West Classic"
here. Shooting from every
position, he poured in 33
points-his highest so far-as
Oregon State won a close one.

Jim Weaver, whose St.

that the Gaels also have an
idle fortnight on hand.
Can Use Rest
Tom Meschery can use
that period to get back into

tougher," Weaver said. "If it
wasn't for him, we could not
have beaten Santa Clara last
Friday."
. Coach Phil Woolpert of
UFS joined the rest. of the

Cour, the stylish forward who
ran into grade trouble, would
be able to pass his exams and
rejoin the squad.

Inability to crack a zone

its only defeat in the Big Ten
so far this season, but the
Green-led, green-clad Spar
tans seem to have overcome
that fault and now are tied
for the loop lead.
The Spartans gained that
first-place tie Monday night
when jumping Johnny Green
popped in 21 points to pace
a 8Z-77 victory over unio
State.
Michigan State's only loss
In four . league games thus
far came when the, Spartans
ran into Iowa's rugged zone
defense. Ohio State tried the
same tactic Monday night,
but sharp Spartan shooting
"broke the zone" and the
Buckeyes were forced back
into a man-to-man defense
Ohio State fought the Spar
tans on even terms for 11
minutes but then Michigan
State broke out of a 20-20 tie
and went roaring to a 51-39
halftime lead that put the
game on ice. Larry Siegfried
paced the losing Buckeyes
with 20 points. . '
Minnesota clung to the tie
for the lead by beating 15th-
ranked Northwestern, 71-67
in a road game, the third
straight loss for Northwest

Medford High school's bas

tunity this week to take over
its first 1959 lone leadership
in the Southern Oregon con
ference. But to do it the Black

Pebble Beach, Calif. (UPD
Roll the National Open, the
Masters and National Amateur
all into one and, as far as
westerners are concerned, at
least, it comes out the Bing
Crosby , National Pro-Amateur
Golf Tournament.
What started out 18 years
ago as a Crosby "fun tourna
ment" and was more recently
called "Crosby's Clambake,"
has developed into one of the
most important tournaments
in the country.
In fact, it has grown so
large that Bing has rechristen
ed it the "Crosby Whale
Roast."
Larry Crosby, Bing's broth
er, estimated that the cash
taken in would top $90,000
and that with program sales
and other concessions more
than $100,000 would be turn
ed over to charity. y
Bing Pays All Expenses
It is not generally known
that Crosby, himself, picks up
the check for all expenses.
He puts up the $15,000 purse
for the pro-amateur tourna
ment. He arranged the TV
contract to pay the additional
$35,000 that went in the pro
fessional division.
He also takes care of all
other costs in connection with
the tourney. The result is that
every nickel taken in at the
gate goes to charities of the
region.
Art Bell, a San Francisco

don't have any trading plans
at the present time. We have
made no deals since the sea
son closed.
That doesn't mean we won't
make any. But I'll have to
get together with general
manager George Weiss and
talk things over.
Nobody is ever satisfied he
has all the manpower he
needs. But I think our pitch
ing staff came through at the
close of the season. After all,
Bob Turley came through
with 21 . wins that's some
thing. And Whit ey Ford
pitched eight shutouts that's
something, too.
You wouldn't have known
it, but Ryne Duren was a crip
ple during the World Series,
Now that he has had his knee
operation, we should be even
better off in our relief depart
ment. .
And Don Larsen showed
that his arm was capable of
pitching World Series ball.
Bobby Shantz had a crippled
finger that bothered him last
season, but he figures in our
plans this year. And there
was nothing wrong with the
rest of the fellas, men like
Tom Sturdivant, Johnny
Kucks, Art Ditmar and the
others.
Everybody keeps asking me
where I'm going to play El
ston Howard. Let them wait
until we go into action to find
out. But you can be sure
he'll be playing after the good
year he had last season.
And that Hank Bauer he
had a big season. People talk
about Mickey Mantle but they
forget he led the league in
homers. And I'm not selling
Norm Siebern short. He's a
good boy too.
Our infield should be in
fairly good shape with the
likes of Gil McDougald, Bill
Skowron, Tony Kubek, Andy
Carey, Jerry Lumpe and some
others.
But the opposition should
be stronger this year. Detroit
should be helped by the addi
tion of Don Mossi and Ray
Narleski w'hile Billy Martin
will boost Cleveland's
chances. And don't forget
those Red Sox. By adding Vic
Wertz to such guys like Ted
Williams, Jackie Jensen and
Frank Malzone they helped
themselves. All they need is
a little pitching improvement
and we'll all have our trou
bles with them.

Paul D. Zimmer, assistant di
rector of the Columbia River

The massive release is more
than double that of 1958, he

another is planned from the

Zimmer said that although
