Portland, Ore. (UPD Two
gambles-one of which paid
off and one of which didn't
told the tale of the first round
western regional action In the
NCAA basketball tournament
today.
The gamble that failed was
taken by Seattle's veteran
star, Dave Mills. With the
score tied 70-70 against Ari
zona State, he decided to try
to turn one point into two
with 30 seconds left to go.
Instead of taking a free
throw he hurled the ball
against the backboard In
hopes of recovering it. Instead
Arizona State recovered the
ball and junior Gerry Hahn
sank a field goal to bring the
Sun Devils victory, 72-70.
USC coach Forrest Two
good took a chance In the
second and equally thrilling
Tornadomen
Shoot .370
From Floor
(Continued from page 1C)
Medford rampaged to a to
tal of 27 field goals while
its stiff defense limited the
Cheesemakers to 11. The Tor
nado had a .370 field shooting
mark and Tillamook a feeble
.200. The defending tltlists
were not so impressive from
the free toss stripe in dropping
in 11 of 23 tries.
More than two to one dom
ination in rebounding played
a big role in the decisive ver
dict. Medfordites snared the
ball from the boards 79 times,
to 36 retrieves by Tillamook
ers. Dowsonsand Hoots each
cleared the backboards 12
limes and Ragsdale nine. The
cheesemakers' top man on the
boards was Sathcr with a
mere four. Six Tornados
equaled or did better than he.
Barry's 12 markers were
second high for an individual
in the scramble. Leon Thomp
son topped Tillamook with
eight.
Opening Shock
The Tornado, after recuper
ating from its opening shock,
drew the "ohs" and "ahs" of
the crowd for its sharp-functioning
fast break, Its aggres
sive battling and its solid
teamwork. Onlookers agreed
that Mcdford's was the high
light performance, through its
game in the tourney which
opened Tuesday evening.
But, Medford will run into
another hustling club in the
South Salem Saxons this eve
ning. South fired at the hoop
at a rip-roaring .518 clip to
get by a .407 shooting Bend
club. The Snlemites busted
the fray open with 26 points
to the Bears' 13 In the third
quarter. They lagged Bend 33
to 31 at the half but led them
59 to 46 at the third rest stop.
South let the gap slip briefly
to six points at 63 to 57 in the
final minutes.
The Capitol city crew was
short on height compared to
the 6-5 of Bend's Rex Cham
bers and Chuck DeSully but
the Saxons used their quick
ness, agility, spirit, aggressive
ness and better placement to
outrebound the Bears 45 to
31.
Has Memory
Medford goes Into tonight's
fracas with the memory of the
1960 tourney semifinal game
with the Salemitcs. South
came close to upset in that
skirmish. The Black Tornado
had to overcome a 10-point
deficit to win by a narrow 56
to 52.
There was rumor yesterday
that Coach Dick Ballnntyne
may call upon his speedy Sax
ons to run with the Tornado.
Most "experts" advise against
such strategy against the
Black Tornado.

contest. 0 r e g o n's upstart
Ducks piled up a 36-27 half
time lead, while USC's flashy
John Rudometkin gathered
four fouls.
But Twogood started Rudo
metkin in the second half
anyway and the 6-foot-6 jun
ior put in 18 points before
fouling out with 2:37 to go.
The Trojans hung on for an
81-79 win.

Miami-IUPIi-Thc' public was victimized by a "fast count"
just as much as Ingemar Johansson in his controversial
knockout at the hands of Floyd Patterson, veteran Jack Doc
Kearns asserted today.
"People pay to see a fight and they should get it," said
Kearns, shrugging off evidence presented in New York Wed
nesday by Telepromptcr which indicated Johansson was
on the floor 11 l-12ths seconds. "In the early days, the referee
would tell you to 'get up and fight' but today they're too
quick to count 'em out."
The mandatory eight count, used in Monday night's fisaco,
certainly deserved no place in a heavyweight bout, either,
Kearns insisted.
All In all, Kearns felt that the bout was completely un
satisfactory and that while Johansson "proved to be a better
fighter than most people thought" the victorious Patterson
"isn't the champion a lot of people thought he was."
Huffs And Puffs
"I don't think Patterson was in the proper condition,"
Kearns explained. "He was too heavy and he was puffing
and blowing from the start. Certainly he looked sloppy and
logey. Floyd wanted to fight, yet, while he set a fast pace,
he couldn't hold it. In the sixth they both were wallowing
when Patterson happened to nail him."
It's the reason behind the fact that a half century ago
all the eastern champions were beaten when they went west.
"In the West, they had a bunch of fast four-round kids
who fought at a whirlwind pace," Kearns recalled. "Those
who came in from the East could stand the pace for one
round but after that they had it."
Patterson, If the competition was around, wouldn't last
long as champion because of the suspicious crystal quality
of his Jaw, the still agile 79-year-old Kearns analyzed.
Up And Down
"From the way he's up and
he has, Doc said, "It s pretty
as strong as his heart. He reminds me of Fred Fulton, who
was game and could box and punch. But hit him on the
chin and he had to go."
"It is," he continued, "the
at baseball. Some of the slickest fielders in the game can't
hit a lick. Yet some of the hardest hitters can't field. The
real star Is the guy who does everything and that's the way
it Is in boxing,, too."
The man Patterson has to
true champion, Is Sonny Liston.
"And Liston would have
If they fought now," Kearns speculated. "He's big and strong
and rough and he can lake a punch as well as dish it out
real good. I think he'd win the title and Patterson can't
continue to dodge him no matter what the reason.
Reason
The reason is obvious to
managed by the wrong people,
you that Frankie Carbo still doesn t have a thumb in a num
ber of boxing pies. You can't blame Patterson for not wanting
anything to do with ring grime that might rub off one way
or another. Llston's out is a completely new mangcrial setup.
Kcurns currently is pointing Archie Moore toward a
couple of fistic engagements in Europe. But from the manner
in which the old ballyhoo artist praised Johansson for "fight
ing and standing up better than anybody thought he would,"
It seems probable that Ingo and ancient Archie sooner or
later will tangle in Sweden for another big payday.
