Newspaper Page Text9 'MAIL TRIBUNE, Mcdford, Oregon, Tuesday, February 24, 1959 (Gaels To Face California Dn Western Regional Game United Press International The chances are that St. Mary's and California will have one more opportunity to determine which has the bet ter basketball team - and this time it will be in the Western Regionals at the Cow Palace. The Gaels can nail down their first West Coast Athlet ic conference title and an NCAA berth with a victory over College of Pacific to night. California, on the oth er hand, needs at least two more wins to clinch a tie for the Pacific . Coast Conference Kentucky Wins; Auburn Loses Again United Press International Here's some free advice for the likely foes of defending champion Kentucky in next month's NCAA basketball tournament-don't try to beat the Wildcats by "stalling." Alabama, which upset the mighty Phillips Oilers of AAU cage fame with slow down tactics earlier this sea son tried the same thing with Kentucky Monday night and succeeded in holding the na tionally top-ranked Wildcats to their lowest point total in Webb Is Ring Choice Over Boyd New York-OJPU-Two middle weight fights in the United State and a heavyweight bout at London stand out on this week's boxing schedule. Middleweight conte n d e r s Spider Webb and Bobby Boyd, both of Chicago, meet in a return 10-rounder Wed nesday night at the Chicago Stadium. On Friday night, middle weight contender Gene (Ace) Armstrong engages veteran Italo Scortichini of Italy in a 10-rounder at Madison Square Garden. It will be televised and broadcast na tionally by NBC. Meanwhile, tonight at the Wembley Indoor Arena in London Willie Pastrano ' of Miami Beach -fifth ranking heavyweight contender - will tackle Joe Erskine of Wales, former British Empire cham pion. Erskine is trying to climb back into the top-10 rankings. Webb Favored For Wednesday's fight at Chicago, Webb is favored at 12-5 to beat Boyd, whom he knocked out in the sixth round of their previous bout, March .17, 1954-when both were comparative novices. Webb is ranked third among contenders; Boyd, sixth. Webb is favored because of his combined boxer-punch er ability. The Spider lost only four of his 35 bouts, 13 ' of which were won by knock- . outs. Boyd lost 10 of his 55 starts and had three draws He scored 22 kayoes. For Friday's Garden fight, Armstrong of Elizabeth, N.J. ranked ninth among middle weight contenders-is favored at 3-1 over Scortichini, who is returning to action in the United States after two years in Europe. Unrated Scorti chini has a 41-22-7 record that includes 15 kayoes. Arm strong, a light hitter but smart boxer, registered but one knockout while winning all Tuesday: Sacramento. Calif.

But the Bears cleared their biggest remain ing hurdle Monday night with a methodical 57-40 win over Oregon State. Barring a complete collapse by either club, another clash is in the offing March 14-15 in San Francisco. Bears Took First Match California gained a narrow two-point decision over the Gaels in an early season game that decided nothing other than the now apparent fact that both clubs are superior to most. 12 years, 39 points But it didn't do any good. Kentucky won anyway, 39-32, and was using a slowdown of its own in the closing min utes. Cox Paces Wildcats This was win No. 22 in 24 starts this season for Coach Adolph Rupp's men. Senior Johnny Cox, All - America candidate , playing his last regular season home game, led the way with 15 points. Kentucky has clinched at least third place in the South eastern conference and that probably means an NCAA tourney berth since Auburn is ineligible (on probation) and Mississippi State faces an unwritten state policy against playing racially integrated teams. . Mississippi State also won Monday night, trouncing Tu lane, 65-51. It was the 23rd win in 24 games for the Ma roons, ranked No. 7 nation ally, and moved them into first place in the conference with a 12-1 record. Auburn Loses Again That's because Auburn, which had its 30-game win ning streak smashed by Ken tucky Saturday, "lost again this time by 56-55 to Tennes see at Knoxyille, Tenn. - The score was tied at 53-53 with four seconds left, but a technical foul was called on Auburn' when a sub failed to report - to the scorer. That free throw, plus two more a second later when Auburn fouled trying to get the ball, gave Tennesse the win. Auburn, ranked No. 8 na tionally, was the only loser among seven teams high- ranked by the UPI Board of Coaches which played Mon day night. In addition to Kentucky and Mississippi State, others to post key wins were Cincinnati (No. 3) 92-69, over Tulsa; California (No. 9) over Oregon State, 57-40: Bradley (No. 10) over Wichi ta, 72-70, and .St. Louis (No. 12) over North Texas State, 70-58. U. of O. Sets New Aid Plan Eugene -(1IPD- A desire to give a student athlete equal chance for academic success was cited Monday as one of the big reasons for a revision of the aid-to-athletes program by the University of Oregon.

But past records indi cate that tonight's contest will serve only as a formal claim to the championship by St. Mary's. Oregon State put up a good battle against the Bears in the first half at Corvallis on Monday night, but folded be fore a tight California defense in the final period that al lowed the home club only three field goals. The winners ran off a string of nine straight points to make it 47 36 midway in the last half and coasted in from there. The Beavers had trailed by only one point at the intermis sion, 25-26. Al Buch led the Californ ians with 12 points, while Karl Anderson was high for OSC with 10. The win gave Cal an 11-2 mark, a full game in front of second-place Washington. The two clubs have three games left each, but the Huskies must win their's on the road while the Bears close out the campaign at home. In the only other game in volving a major West Coast team Monday night, Seattle fell before Montana State, 82 74. San Jose Faces Broncs Santa Clara will take on San Jose State in another WCAC encounter tonight, while Westmont hosts Cal Poly of San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles State travels to Long Beach. Monday's weekly Northern California Basketball Writers and Broadcasters luncheon brought out the news that St. Mary's coach Van Sweet fa vors LaRoy Doss as his club's All-America candidate. The Gaels' Joe Barry got the nod as player of the week. Stanford's Howie Dallmar spoke of other things-namely, his team's fall from PCC title contention with losses to UCLA and Southern Califor nia last week. "We missed the first 19 shots against USC and made only five out of 35 in the first half," Dallmar said. "We did not shoot well against the Bruins either."

Not that Cousy is ready yet to call it a career. That depends entirely on how much longer the Boston Cel tics need him as a draw. But Cousy, who will be 31 before another season rolls around, after nine years as a pro finds the grind of playing and travel becoming more and more exhausting.

By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International the 6-foot, 1-inch Celtic play maker has "changed my atti tude" and leans more favor ably now toward a coaching berth. "I'm in good shape and I certainly can go on playing longer," Cousy explained without saying how. much longer. "A number of play ers have gone on to 33 and beyond, on top of -which as a playmaker who doesn't have to worry too much about scoring I don't have that to worry about." But the boys are getting bigger every year and it gets tougher and tougher on the "little" men.

"Aft er all, in college a boy of al most any height can make the grade. But, let's face it, the players get bigger every year in pro ball and sooner or later the 6-foot 4-inch man is going, to be the shrimp of the league." "They can do anything the 6-footer or the 6-foot-2 man can do and with their height advantage can do it better," Cousy analyzes. They won't have to run any benefits for Cousy when he steps down.
