The Utah coach figured the draw for tonight gave him a break, "and it's about time." Three times before Gardner has taken good teams to the regionals only to have them knocked out of contention the first night by the team which went on to win the tourney. Last year, it was California. As for Newell, who chews towels to control his nerves, every game is a scare, even when his Bears are winning by 30 points. Broncs Tough California has a 25-1 sea son's record and All-Ameri-can Darrall Imhoff to frighten Coach Bob Feerick and his Broncs who have won 21 and lost eight this season. But the Broncs showed they are tough to handle when they jumped into a tie for the West Coast Athletic conference and de feated Loyola of Los Angeles in a playoff. The young and speedy Utah squad, with a starting lineup which will be around next year, has lost only twice in 27 games. The Utes' scoring record makes them heavy fa vorites over the Oregon Ducks, top independent team of the Pacific Northwest with a 18-9 record. Gardner hopes his good for tune in drawing an opponent other than California for to night carries a fine chance for an upset. .

The Portland area parochial school, which produced the No. 2 hoop team in the Wilco league this season, is in its fourth year of operation and has its first senior class. This is just Jesuit's second year of varsity participation in athletics. The school is located just outside the Port land city limits. It is 1 1 2 miles east of Beaverton. Enrollment at Jesuit is 380 compared to Medford high's 1450. But, the students at the parochial school all are boys. Medford has around 775 boys enrolled. Since Jesuit has no girl students, the Oregon School Activities association determined its athletic classi fication by doubling its enroll ment figure. Coeducational schools of 500 and more aver age daily membership are Class A-l in Oregon. Coach Jerry Dadey's Cru saders will take a 12-10 season mark against the Black Tor nado in the 8:45 p.m. Wednes day game. That record, how ever, is a bit deceptive in de termining Jesuit strength. For, the Crusaders have done well after a poor start. They lost seven of their first nine games. Since that rough going they have won 10 of 13 con tests. Since the Crusaders lost no players by graduation last year they have a veteran squad. The six seniors are Bernie Albers, Bill Wehrly, Bruce Moore, Bill Hamilton, Ramon DeMartini and Bob Constant Stu The skill of mixing concrete and tH: study of the uniform strength en4 appearance of concrete has been our interest for many years.
