The four-day eight-team tourney will open Wednesday night at the Memorial Coli seum in Portland. The highly regarded Beav ers, who have split their op ening six games, returned here Sunday night following the Kentucky invitational tournament at Lexington Fri day and Saturday nights. Oregon State was beaten by West Virginia 70-65 in its first game and topped Iowa 61-55 in its second contest to cap ture third place in the four team tourney. Kentucky de feated West Virginia 79-75 in the finals of the meet. The Beavers have won the Classic every year since it was inaugurated in 1956. In opening round games of the Classic, Iowa faces Ari zona at 7:30 p.m. and Oregon meets Washington State at 9:30 p.m. Wednesday and Cal ifornia takes on Seattle at 7:30 p.m. and Oregon State battles Idaho at 9:30 p.m. Thursday. Toughest Bet Oregon State, California, Se attle and Arizona are regard ed as the toughest bets to win the tournament. Big Mel Counts scored 18 points and football star Ter ry Baker added 14 to spark Oregon State to its victory over Iowa. The Beavers led at halftime 32-19. The Big Six is more than well represented at Portland in California, which split with the Beavers in a great series and has otherwise won them 11. The Bears took care of Wyoming, 60-55, Saturday. Another ambitious contend er will be Seattle which was distinguished in defeat Sat- turday as it lost to fourth ranked Loyola of Chicago, 93 83. Arizona disposed of Colo rado, 60-52, Saturday night. It's a Merry Christmas -,eek for west coast basketball fans with two other fine tourna ments due to start Dec. 26. Judging from Saturday night's action, the West's cage powerhouses are raring to go. The Los Angeles Classic features four of the Big Six's best and four tough visitors. Stanford Favored Unbeaten Stanford rates as the slight favorite, especial ly after Saturday's easy 72- 46 win over Texas. Tom Dose hit 19 for the Cards, who led 40-18 at the half. But USC which will also be at Los Angeles, has not lost one cither. Troy had to go all out Saturday to edge Nebras ka, 55-53, at Omaha. Al Young's last-second tip-in de- tided it. UCLA is another tough cus tomer in the Los Angeles com petition. The Bruins bounced Big Ten foes Northwestern and Wisconsin on a midwest invasion last week. It was UCLA 77 Wisconsin 63 Satur day at Madison with five play ers scoring between 11 and 113 for UCLA. Such fierce competitors as Utah State 7-2, Colorado State 4-3 and basketball happy St. Louis U. will also be around at Los Angeles. Only Wasshington 3-2 and Northwestern 2-5 appear out classed in this one. The third tournament is the West Coast Athletic Confer ence meet at San Francisco and will involve the seven conference members and Port land. The WCAC took its lumps Saturday night when Utah edged St. Mary's 80-75, and Loyola of New Orleans boun ced USF, 68-64, in a game which saw the winners use the same five men through out. Loyola of Los Angeles was especially humiliated, losing the consolation game at the Long Beach Invitational to the host Long Beach State Club, 68-61. The Long Beach finals saw two Midlands teams fight it out with Oklahoma State edg ing Drake. 61-59. Bronci Favored If there is a favorite in the Dec. 28 WCAC tournament, it is probably twice beaten San ta Clara, but anybody could grab this one. About the only major West ern team not playing in one of these three tournaments is the club that could be the coast's best. Arizona State al Tempe. The once-beaten by two points Sun Devils won their 38th consecutive home game Saturday by demolishing Min nesota, 98-79 Soph Dennis Dairman led everybody with 25 points. ASU hit 65 per cent from the field in the first half. ! In other results Saturday, two unbeaten small college powerhouses met in the finals MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD.
