Win Game
Seattle -(UPD -A pair of free
throws by Don Ogorek proved
to be the difference as Seattle
University squeaked by the
Portland Pilots, 78-77, in the
final basketball same of the
season for both clubs Monday
night.
Ogorek's charity tosses
came with only four seconds
remaining and gave Seattle a

followed with a field goal for
the Pilots but the claxon
sounded next and the Chiefs
were home.
The win was the 18th for
Seattle against 10 losses. For
Portland, the defeat was the
15th as opposed to 11 wins.
Seattle had a 22-point lead
midway through the second
half but started falling apart
when two starting seniors,
Tim Cousins and Don . Pia
secki, fouled out.
Altenhofen toog high game
scoring honors with 24 points
and Bill Garner got 20 for the
Pilots. Ogorek and Dave
Mills paced the winners with

Medford high, the cham
pionship team, and Klamath
Falls, the runner-up, each
placed two men, and Grants
pass gained the other first
team position on the Medford
Mail Tribune's 1960 Southern
Oregon conference basketball
squad.
Choices from Medford for
the No. 1 quintet were Jerry
Anderson, an all-stater last
year, and Dick Ragsdale.
Picked from Klamath Union
high were Paul Bishop and
Bruce Brickner. Rex Benner,
Grants Pass, rounded out the
star quintet.
Coaches and teams of the
five member schools cast bal
lots in the poll. Voting was
on an all-opponent basis.
Mentors and players did not
vote for men on their own
squads.
While Medford acquired
two spots on the second team,
as well as the two on the
first, Black Tornado repre
sentation on the two clubs
was not so strong as had been
anticipated from its domina
tion of the conference. For
the : Tornado went unbeaten
through the 16-game slate,
knocking over each league
foe four times.
Three Unanimous
Anderson, Benner and Bish
op were named to the first
team on the ballots of all ri
vals and thereby were "unan
imous" selections. Two points
were awarded for a first
team vote and one for second
team choice, with 16 points
the most a player could re
ceive. Benner and Anderson are
repeaters from the 1959
league all-star team. They
scored 417 and 366 points, re
spectively, for their teams
this season. The two are sen
iors as is Bishop. Anderson
has been a Medford regular
for three straight years.
Ragsdale, who played his
first varsity basketball for
the Black Tornado this sea
son, and Bruce Brickner,
transfer from Merrill, are
juniors. Brickner was a mem
ber of Merrill's 1959 state B
championship club.
Brickner Tallest
Tallest man on the first
quintet is Brickner at 6-6.
Bishop and Anderson are 6-3,
Benner 6-2 and Ragsdale 5-10.
Brickner missed unanimous
pick by two points. He was
named to the first five on six
ballots and to the second team
on two, giving him a 14-point
total. Ragsdale had 13 points.
Crater's Chuck Turner led
second team picks with 11
points: Others named on the
second crew were Larry Jans
sen, Grants Pass, Bob Quin
ney , and Ken Durkee, Med
ford, Garry Patzke, Klamath
Falls, and Dave Sharp, Cra
ter. Patzke and Sharp tied
for the fifth spot with six
points each.
Honorable mention went to

Relief Star
Given Review
Phoenix, Ariz. -(UPD The
San Francisco Giants have de
cided to take a look at George
Zuverink, former relief star
for Baltimore.
Zuverink, 33, had three
good seasons for the Orioles,
but then slid to an 0-1 mark
last year plus a 3-4 record at
Miami.
But the veteran reliefer to
day blamed last year's woes
on a bad back and asked for
a shot with the Giants.
Another intra -squad game
was scheduled by the Giants
today. Pitcher Ramon Mon
zant, a late arrival, planned
to take his first work-out on
the hill.
Monday, the team took it
easy with only a routine bat
ting drill on the schedule.
Jack Sanford, who was
bothered by a cut finger
earlier, pitched batting prac
tice and showed he could fire
the ball hard without pain.
Willie McCovey, still a
growing boy and 15 pounds
heavier than last year, con
tinued to . impress with his
long-distance belts.

Sugar Ray To
Meet Baldoni
Baltimore - (UPD Ray (Su
gar) Robinson has agreed to
meet veteran middleweight
Tony Baldoni in a 10-round
bout at the Baltimore coli
seum April 2, it was announc
ed today by promoter Al
Flora.
Robinson accepted the bout
as a tuneup for his rematch
with Paul Pender at Boston
April 29. Pender won the New
York-Massachusetts version of
the world middleweight title
by outpointing Sugar Ray in
their first meeting at Boston
Jan. 22.
Baldoni, a native of Wilkes
Barre, Pa., who now resides

professionally since 1948. He
has won only three fights over

gaged, in only three bouts last
year, . losing two on knockouts.
Post-
Sports, Ban
Criticized
United Press International
Student newspapers at Big
Ten schools attacked a pro
posed ban on post -season
sports on general grounds it
would turn their conference
into a "little ten," or a replica
of the Ivy league.
Newspapers at three of the
schools commented on varying
days and in varying ways in
editorials decrying a confer
ence decision to end the Rose
Bowl pact and a proposal to
eliminate all post-season con
tests. Conference athletic direc
tors and faculty representa
tives will vote on the final
ban at a May 18 meeting at
East Lansing, Mich.
It was at East Lansing,
home of Michigan State Uni
versity, that the student daily
newspaper, "The State News,"
suggested naming the confer
ence the "Little Ten to avoid
desecrating the name of the
Big Ten of yore."
Lose Student Pride
"The State News commends
the Big Ten in its traditional
form but until conference
academic representatives kill
the strategy proposal of the
athletic directors that all post
season sports be barred, our
conference will no longer
have its aura of bigness," the
editorial said in a paper pub
lished Monday.
At Illinois, Urbana, 111., the
student newspaper, "Daily
Ulini," said in an editorial
Tuesday that athletics "creates
solidarity and university
pride" on the national scale
as well as at conference level.
" "To withdraw from the rest
of the country athletically,"
the editorial said, "we be
lieve would ultimately lead to
loss of student pride and the
destruction of the conference
itself."
"Should the Big Ten con
tinue to be one of the finest
names in collegiate sports, or
should the conference be rel
egated to the position of. a
'once athletically powerful
but now Ivy League' type of
confederation of Midwestern
universities?" the Illlni said.
The Ohio State "Lantern"
ran an editorial Monday re
gretting the death of the Rose
Bowl pact and entitled it "the
end of an era."
The "Minnesota Daily"
termed the post-season ban as
"ridculous" and said "it may
hurt recruiting and make the
Big Ten just a step behind
the Ivy League."
The Iowa student daily
was officially mum on the
matter but carried comments
from athletes who were "dis
appointed" and who predicted
that top-notch high school
athletes would not go to Big
Ten schools.

battle upstart Idaho State to
night for the right to go to
Seattle Friday and meet Santa
Clara in the opening round of
the NCAA regional basketball
tournaments.
Santa Clara and Utah gained
berths in the Western region
al Monday night. The Bron
cos defeated Loyola, 59-53, in
a playoff between the co
champions of the West Coast
Athletic conference.
Utah, kingpin of the Sky
line scored an 80-73 victory
over the University of South
ern California, one of the
West's two "at large" selec
tions. The other, Oregon, meets
New Mexico State of the Bor
der Conference in Corvallis
Wednesday night for the righ
to play Utah at Seattle.
California, which has a 24
1 record to date, goes into to
night's battle with such im
posing crowns as the nation's
No. 1 team in - the United
Press International ratings;
the country's leading defen
sive team, etc.
But Idaho State is no push
over. The Bengals have a 21-4
record and hold the Rocky
Mountain Conference . cham
pionship. They had a win
string of 17 straight going un
til their last- game of the sea
s 1 when they were trounced
br Seattle, 89-53. This is the
same club they clobbered, 94
58, eariler in the season.
Top man for Cal will be
All-American center Darrell
Imhoff, who finished the sea
son averaging only 12.9 points
per season which is plenty
considering Cal's great defen
sive work.
The Idaho State center is
Homer Watkins, who stands
only six foot, six inches four
inches shorted than Imhoff
but is great on rebounds.
Leading scorer for the Ida-
hoans is Myrl Goodwin, a 6-5
forward from Durange, Colo.,
who has been scoring at the
rate of 16.6 points a game.
In Monday night's Santa
Clara Loyola fracas, slim Jim
Russi broke up a tight game
by scoring 18 points for the
Broncs in the second half be
fore 4,300 fans at University
of San Francisco gym.
The senior guard scored a
total of 25 to steal the spot
light from what started as a
personal duel between Frank
Sobrero of Santa Clara and
Jerry Grote of Loyola.
Grote, the WCAC's "most
valuable player," scored 16
points while Sobrero rolled
up 13. Each man scored six
points in the first three min
utes of play.
The big heroes of Utah's
victory at Provo were Bill
McGill, Jim Rhead, Joe Mor-.
ton, and Allen Holmes. Theyj
grabbed an early lead which
USC couldn't overcome, al
though the Trojans narrowed
the gap to 46-45 at one point.
McGill scored 27 points, I
Morton tanked 18 and Holmes
hit for 17. Rhead controlled
the boards for the Redskins. -
'All - Gonferenoe
Frank Burgess, high-scoring
Gonzaga guard; Don Ogorek
of Seattle university and Tom
Meschery of St. Mary's were
the other men named to the
first team.
It's a well-balanced team,
with both height and speed
and defensive abilities that
would make even coach Pete
Newell of California, the na

the Year" give a nod of ap
proval. feat and took high score hon
ors over all for the evening

Portland Player
Plans To Retire
Portland - Portland's Beav
ers have b e e n hit for the
third time by a veteran play
er calling it quits. Second-
baseman Jack Dittmer recent
ly telephoned Bill Sayles,
rortiand business manager,
that he's retiring from base
ball to go into the automobile
business in Iowa.
Dittmer, who had been
star lootbail end as well as
infielder for the University of
Iowa, had served with the
Milwaukee Braves and first
broke into the Pacific Coast
; league in 1958 with Phoenix,
helping the Giants win the
pennant. That winter he was
sold to Seattle.
The Ralniers eventually
sold him to Sacramento in
mid-season last year. Sayles
says he is waiting for Ditt
mer's declaration in writing
before placing him on the vol
untary retired list.
First-sacker, outfielder Jim
my Westlake and Bob DiPie
tro who served in the same
dual roles as well as that of
coach, also have retired from
the Beaver roster.
