Pepperdine,

The log-jam at the top of
the West Coast Athletic con
ference should be broken by
this time next week thanks to
a crazy mixed-up schedule
that calls for Pepperdine and
Loyola to play five games
in a week.
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.

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. Rhonda Hess, 11-12,
was sixth in 100 individual
medley and fourth in 50 free
