ning and Lowell and Portland
Christian clash.
Met Huntington
This afternoon Prospect was
to meet Huntington and Fos
sil to oppose Perrydale in con
solation play.
Powers just had too much
height for the Cougars,' who
nevertheless battled gamely.
The Cruisers established their
lead for keeps in the first
quarter on the strength of free
tosses. They were helped by
fast break points and buckets
off long passes on out of
bounds play. Powers took ad
vantage also of misdirected
Prospect passes and Cougar
violations.
The coast area team went
to the dressing room at half
time with a 10-point 34 to 24
margin. It looked, as the sec
ond half started, as if Pros
pect would still make a game
of it. With Craig Gardner get
ting three baskets, the Cou
gars cut the Cruiser edge to
35 to 31. Then Jerry Ross hit
twice from the field for Pow
ers and Richard Calbo once
for 41 to 31. Prospect could
not again muster a serious
bid.
Concentrate On Gardner
Calbo led all scoring with
16 markers. Craig Gardner
had 15. The Cruisers, having
heard of Gardner's prowess,
collapsed on him. That left
Bob Fitch free and he got 14
points. Powers shot .411
from the field and Prospect
.375.
Powers had an edge of
only 34 to 27 in rebounds
but the ability of the Cruis
ers to score off theirs paid
the dividends. While Terry
Gardner of the Cougars had

Managing Mot
For DiMaggio
St. Petersburg, Fla. - il'Pli -
Joe DiMaggio is going to do
his best to help the New York
Yankees this spring but he's
not interested in returning to
baseball as a manager.
"Thanks, bill no thanks,
the 46-ycar-old Hall of Famer
quipped Thursday when asked
whether he had any ideas
about managing a major
league team. "How long do
managers last? I'm happy with
what I'm doing."
DiMaggio romped with the
Yankees Thursday for the
first time since he retired nine
years ago. He weighed in at
195 pounds - exactly the same
weight as when he played his
last game - and displayed the
same flawless grace which

DiMaggio went to the Yan
kee camp for a two-week spe
cial training period at t h e
ence to 17 to 16 but the
Cruisers went to 23 to 16
and 35 to 31 was the narrow
est gap after that. Third
quarter score in the game
was 47 to 35.
Lowell, beaten only twice
now in 24 starts this season,
handed Perrydale its first
loss in 25 decisions. Al Mc
Daniel led the way for the
winners with 25. Dick Brown
hit 18 for Perrydale.
Portland Christian scored
its 23rd win of the year.
Portland used a tight man-lo-man
defense and a 20
point splurge by Gary
Brownlee to beat Fossil.
Frank Rhea finished with
26 points, 18 in the first half,
and John Swanson scored 19

In Week End Tilts
University of Oregon, Eu
gene - Oregon's Ducks wind
up the regular 1961 basketball
season this week end with a
tough and vital series against
Oregon State which begins to
night at McArthur Court and
concludes Saturday at Corval
lis. Tipoff time at both pa-
villions is 8 p.m.
Both teams have an impor
tant stake in the series other
than victory in the annual
"Civil War" competition. Each
has a chance at a berth in the
NCAA at-large category for
post-season tournament play
and each would like nothing
better than to have possession
of the Chancellor's Trophy.
Oregon needs a sweep of
the series to boost its season
record to 15-11 before it can
hold much hope for a repeat
berth in the NCAA tourna
ment while Oregon State
might make it with only a
split. Oregon is two up on the
Beavers for the season, so
needs only a split for the
Chancellor's Award.
Coach Steve Bclko's crew
won the first two games, the
first in a rugged overtime bat
tle at Corvallis and the second
on a hot shooting streak by
Charlie Warren which pro
duced 19 points in nine min
utes, but then went into a
six game tailspin which did
not end until Washington
State was beaten last Satur
day night at Pullman.
This is the final Oregon
State competition for three of
the Ducks, guards Denny
Strickland, Leon Hayes and
Butch Kimpton, and Strick
land and Hayes are set to open
against the Beavers along
with an all-junior front line
of Bill Simmons, Warren and
Glenn Moore.

I also was tillable to find

"Maybe 1 did." she said.
"How was 1 to know you'd get

the birds away too. For an
