New York - (IPD - Mack
Herndon and Mike Owens led
Bradley on a spectacular late
gpurt that wiped out a 12
point deficit and beat scrappy
Providence College 88-72, Sat
urday for the National Invita
tion Basketball Tournament
championship.
A crowd of 16,421 in Madi
son Square Garden and a na
tional television audience
(N. B. C.) watched the
Braves from Peoria, 111., stage
their spectacular comeback in
the last 10 minutes of play
to win the N. I. T. for the
second time in four years.
Bradley won the tournament
in 1957 and was beaten in last
season's final by St. John's.
The six-foot, six-inch Hern-
. ion scored 25 points, 14 of
them in the second half, and
Owens contributed five clutch
field goals during Bradley's
late rally that made a rout
of what had been a back-to-the-wall
battle for the Braves
throughout the first minutes
of the game.

though Walker complained he

Rul Out Poison
Police chemists Friday
ruled out the possibility that
a glass of orange juice given
Walker by a "phony" hotel

him ill. They officially re
ported that the juice con
tained "no narcotics, no toxic
substances, andor no com

Despite the brilliance of
Bradley's victory, the tourna
ment's most valuable player
award was won by Len Wil-

scored 25 points and played a
superb all-around game in an
effort to earn the Friars an
upset victory.
Wilkens was a unanimous

Hard To Pick Winner
Of Cal-Ohio Contest
By HAL WOOD
United Press International
Judging from the Friday
night performances of Ohio
State and California it was
hard to pick a winner for last
night's NCAA basket ball
championship at the Cow Pal
ace in San Francisco.
California, it's poise miss
ing in the first minutes of
play, came back with a rush
to whip powerful Cincinnati,
77-69, while Ohio State more
or less toyed with long shot
New York University, 76-54,
in the semifinal rounds.
Mistakes killed Cincinnati.
The Bearcats, harassed by the
always-pressing Cal defense,
lost the ball 14 times on er
rors. But Cal made only five-ball-control
mistakes all eve
ning. The big item was the stop
ping of All - America Oscar
Robertson by Cal's Tandy Gil
lis; and the equally brilliant
play of another All-American,
Darrall Imhoff of the Bears.
Robertson, who had aver
aged 34.3 points a game for
the season, was held to four
field goals plus 10 free throws
-18 points.
Imhoff Scores 25
Imhoff scored 25 points -against
his average of 13.5 per
game. The towering 6-9 Cal

The Violets did get into the
game once, closing the gap to

in the first half.
But the Buckeyes, under
the guidance of sophomore
sensation, Jerry Lucas, came
ripping back to take a 37-28
lead at the intermission.

Boston - (UPD Wilt (The
Stilt) Chamberlain of the
Philadelphia Warriors was
taken to a hospital for X-rays
of a damaged right hand late
in Saturday's National Bas
ketball association Eastern di
vision playoff final with Bos
ton.
Bill Russell paced the Cel
tics to a 120-90 win over the
Warriors. The 7-foot, 2-inch
Chamberlain injured his
shooting hand in last night's
game at Philadelphia. He
played today against the or
ders of the - Warriors' team
physician, Dr. Si Ball, but
was ineffectual, scoring only
12 points before retiring with
one minute 19 seconds remain
ing in the third period.
Chamberlain's hand, heavi
ly taped for the game, was
swollen as he left for Massa
chusetts General hospital and
he said it bothered him a good
deal.
Russell, taking advantage of
Chamberlain's injury, led all
scorers with 26 points and
turned in two NBA playoff
marks while grabbing 39 re
bounds. Russell's 26 rebounds
in the second period and 34
in the first half both broke his
own records. '
It was unclear exactly how
Chamberlain suffered his
hand injury. Wilt himself said
after Friday night's game he
didn't know whether it result
ed from a brief fist fight with
Boston's Tommy Heinsohn or
whether he banged it into a
basket rim while going after
a rebound. He scored 29
points Friday night and open
ed the series with a 42-point
effort here Thursday night.

PUSH - BUTTON BASKET
BALL One of the veteran tourn
ament sports writers here,
obviously impressed by
Medford High school's well
geared Black Tornado as it
defeated St. Helens on
Thursday, said he wanted to
ask Tornado Coach Frank
Roelandt this question:
"How does it feel to be able
this year to just sit back
and push the buttons?" '
When this remark was
passed on, it led to a pos
sible nickname for Marsh
field's tremendous tall man,
6-10 Mel Counts "The Big
Button."
Medford's state hoop tour
ney squad has on it the son
of a one-time tournament play
er. Darrell Miller's father,
Darrell Sr., Pear city auto
dealer, played for Klamath
Falls in the 1934 prep cage
show.
There are two other hoop
men in this tournament, that
we know of, whose fathers
also were tourney players.
Wally Palmberg of Klamath
Falls is the son of the Wally
who gained all-state honors
for Astoria back in 1931 and
1932. The senior mentor is
now hoop mentor at Oregon
Technical institute. Back in
1937, when we saw our first
state tourney, an Ed Maerz
(pronounced like the planet)
was on the Salem team. Now
his son, Ed, only a sophomore,
is cog for South Salem.
Young Ed on Thursday
against South Eugene set a
new tourney, mark of 'free
throws, made in one , game
15. He muffed only two of 17
chances. Maerz gifters helped
make the scoring difference
for the Saxons against . the,
Axemen. He put in all but
four of the 19 free tosses Sal
em got while Eugene was can
ning just seven.
PERKINS AT CLARK ,
Skeet O'Connell, basket
ball coach at Clark Junior
college, had some fine, com
ments to make on Larry
Perkins, ex-Medford high
eager and baseballer. Per
kins started a number of
scufflesf or O'Connell dur
ing the season just finished.
He was hampered by illness
toward the end of the cam
paign. CHISTEAN LIKED
From another source comes
the report that Washington
State university football men
tors have high hopes for Lorin
Christean another ex-Medford-ite.
They like his speed, his
ruggedness and toughness and
his hands. His ability shows
up in his qualities as a boxer
and track runner as well as a
footballer. The Cougar grid
staff is "trying to find a
place" for Christean and. he
may wind up as an end. Lor
in, a fullback in his senior
year in high school, played
on the Coubabes team last
fall.

tion last season) is of course,

Dick Copple.' He didn't get
much opportunity to demon
strate his placekicking ability
for the Cougars last fall be
cause WSU chose most of the
time to try for two-point con
versions by running or pass
ing. WEARISOME JOB
Jerry Slubbiefield, ex
Ashland high athlete, who
is on the University of Ore
gon track squad, has receiv
ed . quite a bit of kidding.
He was sitting on a chair at
the tournament here Thurs
day afternoon," holding the
rope to keep spectators off
the playing surface and fell
asleep.
COUNTS FOULS OUT
You wonder about accuracy
of the statement, "As Counts
goes, so goes Marshfield." For,
that was not absolutely true
here Thursday when the Gold
en Pirates of Coos Bay whip
ped Cleveland of Portland 71
to 57. Big Mel fouled out
with 4 V2 minutes left to play
and with Marshfield leading
60 to 45. A writer next to us
said, "It's a new ball game,
now." But any hope of the
Indians that the absence of
Counts would enable them to
overtake the Pirates was dash
ed as the Bucs held their own
without the spire over the
rest of the route.
It certainly has to be ad
mitted nevertheless, that, de
spite his premature departure,
Counts played a big role in
the triumph over Cleveland.
He made 11 of 16 field bas
ket tries and all seven of his
free attempts for 29 points
and had 15 rebounds. In ad
dition, Mel reached ups and
out and all around with his
long arms to frequently mess
up the Tribe attack.
Marshfield had a whopping
.538 firing mark thanks to the
shooting of Counts and the
four of five efforts of Bob
Buries.
Reserves Do Well
Klamath Union high, run
ner up to Medford in the
Southern Oregon confer
ence maplecourt campaign,
showed good tournament
bench strength in its 81 to
59 pasting of Lake Oswego.
Pelican reserves were on
duty for almost half the
game. Medford reservists
also have seen plenty of
service in the two easy ver
dicts that assured the Black
Tornado a full four-day stay
in this Emerald Empire
metropolis. Medford Coach
Frank Roelandt's choice to
play all his squad rather
than shoot for records has
been admired.
NEAR MARKS ON FTs
Medford came close to set
ting a free throw mark for
this prep hoop classic in its
quarterfinal against St. Hel
ens. The Tornado cagers made
20 of 21 for .952 average. A
perfect foul heave night
would have tied them with the
1.000 effort by Lakeview in
1953 but would have put Med
ford at the. top of the list
since the Honkers' mark is 10
for 10.
Bob Quinney, Dick Rags-
dale and Cal Dean each flip
ped four of four and Booth
Deakins and Darrell Miller
two of two apiece.
The Thursday free tossing
was an improvement on Wed
nesday's 9 of 18 against
Jesuit and gave Medford 29
of 39 for .717 average for the
two games. From the field
the Medford mark was 63 of
137 for .459.
LEAD FADES AWAY
South Salem's victory over
South Eugene in Thursday
quarterfinals was another
of those occasions in which
the winner had a poorer
field shooting average than
the loser. Eugene out marks
manned the Saxons .357 to

First Ducks
Arrive In
Basin Area
Portland - the first water
fowl to head toward their
nesting grounds in the far
north began arriving in the
Klamath basin in early
March, according to a report
just released by the U. S.
fish and wildlife, service.
Leo L. Laythe, regional di
rector of the interior depart
ment's bureau of sport fisher
ies and wildlife, reported 1,
500,000 pintails, 170.000 div
ing ducks and 200,000 snow
geese along the Oregon-California
border.
These birds have completed
the first leg of their annual
journey by moving some 300
miles from the Sacramento
valley of California. They are
slightly ahead of schedule
this year. Generally t h e s e;
birds move on schedule with
little regard for weather.
An aerial survey at the
same time revealed another
60,000 snow geese in the
Goose Lake-Warner valley
areas near Lakeview, Ore.
The birds have most of their
flight ahead of them with the
snow geese nesting at the
.377 and made more goals.
23 to 20. We've been told
that the Axemen this season
have had a habit of piling
up leads then seeing them
slip away. In a good num
ber of scuffles they've man
aged to halt the opposition
in the clutch and win. This
time they couldn't hold the
Saxons, a team they topped
twice early in the season.
BRACK CLUTCH PLAYER

The tussle of the two
South's topped the champion
ship quarterfinals for excit
ment and Brack was the
clutch playor of the Saxons.
Two of his goals gave Salem
tie scores, an assist gained
another knot and a Brack
fielder put the Saxons on top
to stay. Still another helped
the Saxons hold the lead.
Brach came up with a key
recovery when he and Eu
gene's Bo Blair tussled for
the ball under the Salem buc
ket. The Saxon finally nab
bed it and passed to Loren
Seitz, whose shot deadlocked
the mix at 48-all.
