Newell To
Be Athletic
Director
United Prcsi International
- i n r e e resignations, all
jammed within . two hours,
left the San Francisco Bay
area shorn today of some of
its top-notch basketball
. coaches.
The biggest jolt was turned
in by Pete Newell, towel
chewing strategist for Califor
nia s top - ranked Golden
Bears, who announced Mon
day that he would quit the
post after this season to be
come the school's athletic di
rector. Scarcely had Newell given
his reasons for "staying as far
away from the bench as pos
sible" than the University of
San Francisco announced that
Phil Woolpert would not re
turn. The Dons' famed strate
gist took a year's leave of ab
sence on Nov. 28 and now is
director of sales and public re
lations for a local vending ma
chine firm.
Then came news from San
. Jose State that Walt McPher
ion was stepping down after
17 years as the Spartans'
coach.
Named Athletic Director
Newell, who will guide the
Bears through the coming
NCAA tournament as they
battle to keep the crown they
won last year, is scheduled to
become athletic director on
July 1. He will replace Greg
Englehard, who is to be given
another post at the school. Its
nature will be disclosed later
Rene Herrerias, his 33-year
old aide, will move into the
head coaching job next sea
ton. It was Herrerias who
helped lead USF to the Na
tional Invitational tourna
ment championship in 1949
when Newell coached there
Pete directed the Dons four
years and put in another four
at Michigan State before com
ing to Cal where he has a ca
reer record of 113 wins and 43
losses. His lifetime mark
stands at 228-121 and like
Woolpert, who was his assist
ant at USF, Newell is ac
claimed as one of the game's
defensive geniuses.
Played It Cosy
Woolpert had played it cozy
on his plans. Recently he told
the United Press Internation
o al "I don't know if I'll return
or not," after he knocked off
' three months ago with an ach
ing back and jangled nerves.
Monday he wrote the Dons
that ha would stay out.
Woolpert succeeded Newell
as head coach at USF in 1950
and in nine years turned out
some record-smashing teams.
These included powerhouses
of 1935 and 1956 which sport
ed such stars as Bill Russell
and K. C. Jones anJ breezed
to a pair of NCAA titles.
Ross Giudice, a teammate
with Herrerias at the 1949
NIT tourney now coaches the
Dons but said he didn't know
if he would remain there.
McPherson's resigns t i o n
had been rumored for about
the past month. He will re
main at San Jose State as
coach of the golf team and a
professor in the men's physi
cal education department.
He will be replaced by Stu
Inman, the freshman coach
and a former star for McPher
son at San Jose.
PHOENIX GOLF SITE
Dunedin, Fla. -(CPU Phoe
nix, Ariz., has been selected as
the site of the Professional
Golfers' association 44th an
nual meeting. Details of the
Nov. 10-18 session will be

Up for Grabs Tonight

Loyola faces Pepperdine to
night in a do-or-die game that
will assure the winner of at
least part of the West Coast
Athletic conference title.
It's the season closer for
both teams and each boasts
an 8-3 league mark. The only
fly in the ointment for the
victor will then be Santa
Clara.
The Broncs are 7-3 and face
improving USF (5-5) tonight
and rugged St. Mary's (7-4)
Saturday. Santa Clara must
win both games to share the
title with the Loyola-Pepper-dine
victor.
Loyola and Pepperdine pre

vs. veteran. The Lions have
ignored frequent predictions
that they would fade and built

Winter Olympic Games
Hailed as Great Success
, By HAL WOOD
Squaw Valley (DPS - From
Sweden to Squaw, from Bul
garia to Britain, the . 1960
Olympic Games were hailed
as an outstanding artistic and
athletic success.
As thousands of competi
tors, officials and spectators
from 30 nations headed for
home, they left the impression
that no Olympic Winter
Games ever have compared
with the ones staged in Squaw
Valley.
"I feel the people of the
states of California and Neva-da-the
entire nation, in fact
should be extremely protid of
what has been accomplished at
Squaw Valley," said Avery
Brundage, president of the In
ternational Olympic commit
tee. Brundage, a severe critic of
the area and the progress of
the plans in the early stages
of the over-all construction,
said that even the foreign "ex
perts" learned a few things
here.
"The facilities were pro
nounced excellent by the lead
ing technical experts of the
world," said Brundage. "The
competition was extremely
keen. The distribution of med
als has been, wide. And all
seem to have captured the
Olympic sprit which, after
all, is the main objective of
the games."

The team has been hard-hit

they are in good shape for

Idaho State gets a real test
tonight when it invades Se

face second-rate opposition,
but have built up a first-class
21-3 record. This record will
probably get the staters into
a major tournament and a
win over Seattle tonight could
indicate that Idaho State is
ready to upset some of the
nation's "name" teams in post

Protest Fades
There was considerable pre
games protest because the
athletes had to live in dormi
tories, eat at the same restau
rant and lacked entertainment
facilities. But these all faded
as the games got under way.
"This is my 14th Olympic
Games since 1012," said Erik
Von Frenckell, President of
the organizing committee for
the 1952 Summer Olympics at
Helsinki. "On the basis of my
experience I can say that the
surroundings here are perfect.
Nobody in the world can beat
them . . . the organization and
good will in this Olympic com
munity are perfect."
Dr. Ferenc Mezo, the IOC
delegate from Hungary, who
was hospitalized with a leg
ailment for part of the games,
went even farther.
"These are the fourth win
ter games I've seen and this
one has been better than the
other three put together."
The Swedes were the strong
est critics of the way the
games were being handled be
fore competition got under
way. But they did an about
face, too.
"These have been the fin
est games I have ever seen,"
said Bo Ecklund, member of
the executive board of the
IOC from Sweden. "Every
thing has been extremely well
done."

Seeks Shot
At Champs
United Press International
Maybe the basketball season
is about over as far as the
schedule-makers are concern
ed but things are just warm
ing up down on the floor.
Top-ranked California may
have to tackle Idaho State on
March 8 in the University of
San Francisco gym before
assuring itself of a spot in
the regional eliminations at
Seattle.
The Bears hold the NCAA
title and are 22-1 this season,
but there is chatter that Idaho
State rates a shot at them in
an "at large" elimination.
17 Straight
Idaho State, which faces
Seattle this evening, holds
the Rocky Mountain confer
ence title and has captured 17
straight games for the longest
winning streak in the nation.
Nothing is settled yet in the
West Coast Athletic confer
ence where the eventual
champion earns a berth in the
same tourney. But who will
make it? Heading into to
night's big hoedown are Pep
perdine and Loyola, who meet
on the Lions court in the final
regular game of the year and
are tied for first place. Lurk
ing in the wings is Santa
Clara, a half -game off the4
pace, which could force a
neutral court playoff by de
feating USF on tonight and
St. Mary's on Friday.
Skate Title
Events Start
Vancouver, B.C.-AITr-
Eighty-three skaters from 13
countries began competing to
day in the 1960 world figure
skating championships, with
Canadian, U.S. and French
entrants favored to take home
the top honors.
Don Jackson, a 10-year-old
Oshawa, Ont., skater and
Alain Gilette, 21, of Bour
gain, France, emerged as the
top prospects to succeed Dave
Jenkins of Colorado Springs,
Colo., as men's champion,
while Carol Heiss of Ozone
Park, N.Y was a heavy
choice to continue her domina'
tion of the women's competi
tion.
Jackson and Gilette got
their chance after KaroJ Di
vin of Czechoslovakia and
Jenkins, the Olympic and
world champion, withdrew.
Divan, who won a silver
medal in the Winter Olympics
at Squaw Valley, Calif., suf
fered a hip injury last week
and has been unable to skate
since, while Jenkins decided
Saturday that he would pass
up this year's world tourna
ment to return to his medical
studies at Western Reserve in
Cleveland.
