The Lions (2-1) Invade USF (2-0) for a crucial battle to night, while Pepperdine (0-3) tries its luck at St. Marys (1-1). The teams then battle San Jose (1-1) and Santa Clara (2-0) this week end before go ing back to Los Angeles and meeting the same two squads Monday and Tuesda. The back-to-back schedul ing is the result of a mixup in dates. Next weeks games were supposed to have been played in the Los Angeles Sports arean during the week end, but it developed that the arena was not available. In Pacific Coast action Tuesday night, Seattle once again mastered Portland in a frantic battle. It s been a frus trating year all around for the Pilots who hoped to hit the big time with a veteran team built around 6-foot-9 Bill Gar ner. But Oregon State and Seat tle have stolen their thunder and will probably earn post season tourney bids ahead of the Pilots. The Beavers won the Far West Classic at Port land, which the Pilots had hoped to cop. The Seattle Tuesday night won its second straight over Portland with a 66-60 victory. UOP and the Cal Aggies lost games far from home for the second straight night. Pacific was crushed by Houston, 101-66, although the Tigers' Ken Stanley had a big night with 29 points. Gary Phillips, Houston's all - time scoring champ, stole the show however, with a 35-point per formance. Eastern Montana had to go all out to nip the Aggies, 73 72. Eastern's Bill Drumm hit 28 to dominate play, while Ray Crawford had 22 for the losers. Hess, Taylor Smash League Swim Records Bruce Hess and Phil Taylor shattered records over the week end in the Columbia Basin league swimming jam boree at Vancouver, Wash. They were among six swim mers representing the City of Medford in the Saturday and Sunday meet to reach the finals. Hess, contending in the 13-14-year-olds' 50 - yard free style, swam the distance in first place time of :25.2. This beat the former Columbia mark of :27.3 and the state AAU standard of :23.9. Hess also bettered a league record in placing second in :28 in the 50 - yard butterfly. Winning time was :27.3 and the old standard was :30.4. Taylor, in the 11-12 year group, took first in 50 free style in :28.4, which was .4 of a second under former stand ard. Phil's second place time in the 100 - yard individual medley also was better than the previous record. He swsm the event in a surprising 1:13.6. Winning time was 1:13.4 and the former mark was 1:18.8. Ted Lyons, in the 15-16 com petition, was second in 50 freestyle and third in 50 but terfly.
