Quick Draw Charlie By JIM COUR II Portland -WPD- They're call ing Charlie Warren of Oregon "Quick Draw McGraw" these days. But to Duck basketball op ponents this season, he hasn't been funny like the television ' cartoon character. Warren, a 6-foot-4 Junior forward who has earned his nickname wilh his ability at getting his shots off quickly and accurately, is leading Ore gon in its unexpected quest for an NCAA playoff spot this season.

In the third panel, St. Mary's, which had lagged since the first minute of the contest, caught fire to overcome a six-point deficit. They went ahead to stay at 41 to 40 when Mike Austin stole the ball from a Cougar and Aundre Knutson tallied off the downcourt surge St. Mary's completely dom inated the play from that point with aggressive and spirited effort. By the end of the third canto, the Cru saders were in front 47 to 40 They followed up a 20-point third quarter by outscoring the Prospect club 16 to 7 in the fourth.

IUPII Show business gave Leo Du rocher back to baseball Mon day night but if the famed lippy manager of the one time Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants had any ego It was torn from him by the greatest wits of the entertain ment world. The occasion was a toast- master dinner of the Friars club, the fraternal and philan thropic organization of the theater. And Durocher was the guest of honor. As such he was the subject for three hours of biting hu mor before a strictly stag audience of 1,500 persons in the international ballroom of the Beverly Hilton hotel. Everybody Gets Rapped Although Durocher was the chief target of the cutting wit ticisms, the greatest come dians in show business had enough to spare to shower some on Walter F. O'Malley, president of the Dodgers, the club Durocher rejoins as a coach. And their barbs also found targets in Fred Haney, general manager of the new Los Angeles Angels and retir ed umpire Beans Rcardon. George Jesse 1, who founded the Hollwywood Friars club, was the master of ceremonies and his sharp humor set the tempo for such masters of ver bal barb as Milton Bcrle, George Burns, Buddy Hack ett, Dean Martin and Joe Garagiola. The active participants in baseball who turned out to honor Durocher in addition to Haney and O'Malley included manager Charley Drcsscn of the Milwaukee Braves, mana ger Gene Mntich of the Phila delphia Phillies, home run king Ernie Banks of the Chi cago Cubs and most of the Los Angeles Dodgers residing in southern California. Jeff Chandler paraphrased Lincoln's Gettysburg address by declared "We are honoring one plucked from the dead so this ball club may live. But we cannot consecrate the hal lowed ground at third base if Leo Durocher is going to oc cupy it." The ribald nature of the stag affair led Haney to quip, "It's easy to see from the lan guage that there are no An gels present." But in a more serious vein Haney added: "Lee belongs to the game. He has done a lot for the game. And now that he's been given the chance, he's still going to do a lot for it." J TRIBUNE, MEDFOHD. ORE. COLTS ACQUIRE PERRY Conference W L Pet. PF PA W I. Pet.

J San Francisco - (UPD - Joe "The Jet" Perry, all time Na tional Football league ground- gaining king, will perform for the Baltimore Colts next sea son. Perry, a San Francisco For ty Niner since 1948, was Tues day traded to the Baltimore Colts for an undisclosed draft choice. The soft-spoken back, who has gained 7,246 yards for the t orty Niners, appeared happy about the trade and said "it could be a new lease on life for me." Injuries to huge fullback Alan Ameche last season were considered to be the key reason that the Colts were unable to win a third straight world championship. In Baltimore, Colt coach Weeb Ewbank frankly said he hoped Perry could make first- string next season. Severed Tendon Ameche suffered a severed Achilles tendon and may not be ready for this season. "If Alan does come back," Ew bank said "well and good. But if he can't, then the door is wide open for Perry." "To get the job, he'll have to beat out Billy Pricer and a couple of rookies. Can he do it Well, we're banking on him right now." Perry carried tile ball only 36 times for San Francisco last year as J. D. Smith and C. R. Roberts took over the first-string running back slots. The 34-year-old Perry said he felt he could move into the Colts starting lineup. "I'm not washed up. And I'll be in tip top shape when I report. I'll give the Colts my very best. It's the only way I know to play football." Louis Predicts Robinson Win San Jacinto, Calif. IUPII Sugar Ray Robinson will win his bout with middleweight champion Gene Fullmer if he keeps practicing as he is now, tormer heavy-weight cham pion Joe Louis predicts. He will surprise even Jack Dempsey as well as Fullmer and score a knock out," Louis said after watch ing Robinson work out before a capacity crowd of 400 per sons. "I pick Ray in the sev enth or eighth round." Jack Dempsey, another former heavyweight cham, pion, had predicted a close victory for Fullmer. Ray looks sharper , to me and belter physically than he has for 10 years," Louis said. "Ray showed good speed in his legs, good punching and a good desire."
