Oregon State Seeks
Third Win Over UO
Corvallis- (CPD-A big Dad's
week end crowd was expect
ed in Gill Coliseum tonight
for the final Oregon State
Oregon basketball meeting of
the 1959 season.
Lee Harmon, the leading
scorer of the Pacific Coast
conference and his Beaver
teammates will try to nail
down their third straight over
the Ducks this season and re
main in the running for the
PCC title.
Coach Steve Belko's Ore
gon team, lacking height and
reserve strength, has only a
1-5 PCC record after a fairly
good pre-season mark. That
the Ducks will be "up" is an
understatement, but they have
no one to cope with 6-8 Gary
Goble and 6-9 Karl Anderson
under the backboards.
The Oregon Frosh and the
OSC Rooks meet in a prelim
inary. The Frosh have two
straight over the Rooks this
season.

The leading teams in the
tightly-packed Pacific Coast
conference basketball race
have at it this week end and
something has got to give.
Top collision finds Cali
fornia (4-2) visiting loop-leading
UCLA (5-2) in one half of
a Los Angeles Pan Pacific
Auditorium twin bill tonight.
USC (3-3) meets Idaho (3-4) in
the other contest with the
Bruins and Trojans swapping
foes Saturday.
The outcome of tonight's
Bear-Bruin battle will large
ly be determined by how well
the Bears can contain UCLA's
Walt Torrence. Torrence has
been brilliant in his last few
outings as he carried his team
to victory almost single-hand
edly.
Contrast
This is quite a contrast to
the Bears, who present one
of the most balanced squads
seen in the conference in re
cent years. They lead the na
tion in team defense and will
provide a toughlest for Tor
rence and his -mates.
Meanwhile, Washington and
Oregon State both (5-3) get a

Braves Rap
Chieftains
By TIM MORIARTY
United Press International,
The Bradley Braves,
knocked off by Xavier (Ohio)
m last year's National Invita
tion Basketball tournament,
are already' checking train
schedules for a possible re
turn trip to the New York
jamboree.
And Chuck Osborne's hot-
shots from Peoria, 111., would
like nothing better than a re
venge meeting with Xavier,
which went on to win the
1958 NIT championship after
defeating Bradley, 72-62, in
the quarter-finals.
Listed among the most-el
igible candidates for the 1959
tournament by the NIT se
lection committee, Bradley
looked mighty impressive
Thursday night in snapping
Seattle university's nine-game
victory streak, 86-70.
161h Bradley Win
Danny Smith scored 30
points in leading the Braves
to their 16th victory, in 18
games. They lost an 85-84
squeaker to Cincinnati last
month and then dropped a 79-
66 verdict to Louisville.
Bradley started fast against
Seattle, opening an 8-0 bulge
in the first three minutes. The
visiting Chieftains bounced
back later in the first half to
take the lead but the Braves
went ahead to stay on a bas
ket by Bobby Joe Mason min
utes later.
Utah remained unbeaten in
the Skyline conference by
downing Colorado State uni
versity, 68-48.

Expresses

Outfielder Jim Landis
thougtit it was a mistake.
Maybe the White Sox made
some kind of clerical error
and had sent him the wrong
contract.
But no, there was his name
-"James H. Landis"-neatly
typed in the proper place.
The 24-year-old outfielder
took another look at the sal
ary figure the club offered
Wow!' It seemed almost too
good to be true.
Landis quickly got hold of
a pen and signed the contract
which called for an estimated
$5,000 raise. Then he wrote
a letter to Vice President
Charles Comiskey.
Whit Sox Proud
In the letter, he said the
raise was so "substantial" that
he simply couldn't express his
Brother, they just don't
write letters like that any
more. And the White Sox
were proud of this one that
they told the press about it.
Landis was instrumental in
helping the White Sox finish
second last season after they
got off to a horrible start,
Batting a sickly .184 in early
June, Landis went on a bat
ting spree that carried him
to .300 by the middle of July,
He finished with .277, driv
ing in 64 runs and hitting 15
homers.
Collective bargaining for
higher wages and other em
ployment concessions were
deemed to be illegal in the
U. S. as late as the early
1800's.
