Through some slip-up, Ander son's 33 aren't listed with Counts' total under the "1959 Tournament Highlights" head ing in the book.

The shot competition over shadowed the best discus per formance in the world this year. Rink Babka, another former USC athletic, shoved the platter 190 feet, 2 inches for the best mark of his ca reer and the third best ever recorded. It is surpassed officially only by Fortune's Gordien's 194 feet, 6 inches in 1953, and the mark of 191 feet, 2 inches by Jack Ellis of New York in 1957. Seven Records Set Seven meet records were set and one tied in the open di vision alone and others fell in junior college and high school events as 1500 athletes competed before 8100 fans on a warm, sunny day in La Playa stadium overlooking Santa Barbara harbor. O'Brien masked his disaap pointment at being beaten for the first time since 1957 in the shot, but vowed revenge the next time he and the 19-year-old Long met. "I'm going to Africa today and I won't be back until May," O'Brien said, "but watch out for me then." Long, a young giant from Phoenix, Ariz., took his record-equaling performance cas ually, as he said, "it was my best official put, but I didn't feel any better doing it than I would in any other meet." Nieder, the former Kansas weight star, while pleased with his showing, said he wished the preliminary puts and the finals were closer to gether because he had cooled off between the two sessions. O'Brien was the first to step into the shot ring in the preliminary round and confi dently got off tosses of 61 Celts Win 3-2 Lead Boston - (UPD - Bob Cousy and Bill Russell paced the Boston Celtics to a 129-108 .National Basketball associa tion victory over the Syra cuse Nationals Saturday and a 3-2 lead in their semi-final playoff series. The sixth game in the best of seven series moves to Syra cuse today, with the seventh game, if needed, to be played here Wednesday night. , Cousy, playing his ninth NBA campaign, led both teams with 27 points while the 6-10 Russell enabled the Celtics to dominate the back boards. Russell grabbed 32 re bounds, 16 in each half, and scored 18 points. Boston opened up the game in the third period after a tight first half. The Celtics led the Nats by only four points at the intermission but built up a 10-point lead in the first eight minutes of the third period and that was the ball game. Beavers Smash San Diego 11-6 Indio, Calif. -(UPD- The Port land Beavers of the Pacific Coast league smashed the San Diego Padres, 11-6, Friday in a pre-season warmup contest.

Nieder then drew a gasp of amazement when got off his best effort on his first attempt. Long, on his first try. shoved the iron ball 60 feet, 10 inches, and on his second, coming af ter Nieder's performance, got off the record equalling 63 foot, 2 inch heave. In the final round of three puts, O'Brien managed to hit 62 feet, V inch, but that was his best for the day. O'Brien set the accepted world's record Nov. 1, 1956, in pre-Olympic competition. Santa Barbara officials said they would also submit Long's performance for acceptance. The mile race provided another feature when won by Hungarian refuge Laszlo Ta- bon in 4:06.2 for a meet rec ord, but he was coasting as he won by 50 yards. Alex Henderson of Arizona State University, an Australi an had been expected to offer Tabori competion, but did not participate because this was his third meet of the week. Cincinnati Bursts 12-1 United Press International All this and pitching, too! That was manager Mayo Smith's reaction Friday after the Cincinnati Reds staged their biggest outburst of the spring in a 12-1 romp over the Philadelphica Phillies. It was the kind of slugging the ex perts are saying Smith can expect all season from his muscle men-the "long suit" which could make the Reds a dangerous pennant contender. But Smith's real reason for optimison was the brilliant five-hit pitching of Bob Pur key, who became the third pitcher in as many days to go nine innings. With rookie Or lando Pena and Brooks Lawr ence also among the "nine inning" pitchers, the Reds seemed to have the most ad vanced staff anywhere on the Grapefruit circuit. Vengence The Reds had averaged only 4.2 runs in 17 previous games and had scored four or less runs in 10 contests but they broke loose Friday with a vengeance. Del Ennis smashed two homers and Roy McMil lan and Johnny Powers hit one each to lead Cincinnati's 15-hit attack. Purkey, a 17-game winner last season, looked ready for an anticipated opening day assignment. He yielded the Phillies' run in the first in ning and then breezed the rest of the way. - c HERTZ TRUCK RENTAL Available at HOPKINS RICHFIELD SERVICE McAndrews at Court Phone SP 3-9068 All This for ONLY $195 This is the recommended au tomatic transmission service to keep transmission in top working condition.
