TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 5. 1963 MEDFORO MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Stanford, Emerge As Coast s Top Powers By United Fteii International Stanford, Oregon State and UCLA today gave the coast three of the nation'! top 13 basketball teams, according to the UPI board of coaches. The three cage power houses, each of whom has lost four games, were ranked 8th, 10th and 13th in this week's poll. Stanford (3-1) leads the Bruins (3-2), Washington (4-3) and California (2-2) in a tight Big Six race. The confusion coould be eased or heightened this week end when the Cards host USC (1-5) and the Bruins while California calls on Washington for a pair. Oregon State figures to have little trouble disposing of Portland twice in Us week end action. Latest Big Six scoring fig' ures showed that UCLA's Walt Hazzard not only is prob ably the league's classiest floor player, but is doing more than his share of scor ing, too. Gordy Martin of USC still leads with 119 points in six games for a 19.8 average, but Hazzard is in second with 94 points in five contests for an 18.8 mark. The UCLA guard is being boomed for All-Amor lea honors after scoring 54 points in the Bruins' two wins over Troy. Rounding out the top five are Washington s Ed Corell (18.6), Stanford's Tom Dose (16.5) and Cal's Dick Smith (15.5). The West Coast Athletic conference scoring race is hampered by the fact that the loop's top two scorers have only played in two league games apiece. Steve Gray of St. Mary's hit 52 points for a 26.0 aver age and Pepperdine's Bob Warlick 35 for a 17.5 mark. Santa Clara's Joe Weiss has swished 65 points in four con tests for a 16.2 average. In West Coast games Mon day night, Fresno State made it seven in a row with a 69-44 romp over Redlands. Maurice Talbot had 21 for the winners. Lewis and Clark dumped Whitman 71-51. Elsewhere in the nation, top-ranked Cincinnati, held to a two-point lead at halftime, defeated upset-minded Drake, 71-60, Monday night for the Bear cats' 36th consecutive victory. Drake clicked on only 8 of 29 shots In the sec ond half. Illinois, ranked fourth, hung on for a 104-101 triumph over Indiana in a battle for the Big Too conference lead, while the No. 6 Georgia Tech Engineers eked out a 50-49 Stop-O-Matic Brake Lining In (tailed on all 4 Wheala WHILE YOU WAIT!

Cincinnati, which was forced into overtime before beating Drake last Thursday, had visions of a similar out ing when the score was tied seven times in the first half before the 'Cats gained a 40-38 edge at intermission. Illinois held a 15-point lead, 88-73, with about seven min utes remaining when Indiana caught fire to narrow the gap. The total of 205 points for both teams was tops for the Big Ten conference this sea son. All five Illini starters hit in double figures, with Tal Brody scoring a high of 22 points. Tom Bolyard tallied 35 In Indiana's losing effort. The victory left Illinois with a 5-0 conference record and dropped the Hoosiers from second to fourth place with a 3-2 mark. Georgia Tech, trailing 23 18 at the half, raised its rec ord to 17-1 only because Dave Good Judgment MEDF0RDdTRIBUNE 1 Official, Hoop Commissioner Informs Medford Sports Group Names Dr. Eaton President "Judgment is the difference between a good official and a bad official," Golden Noble, Medford, told the Medford Linebackers club last week. Noble, commissioner of bas ketball referees for this area, discussed some of the prob lems that confronted officials. Referees Loren Soderlund and Bill Essclstyn demonstrated interpretation of rules con cerning screens and guarding on shots and, along with Noble, answered questions. Soderlund is president of the Rogue Valley Referees associ ation. Dr. Orval Eaton, optome trist was elected president of the Linebackers club at North's Chuck Wagon. Noble outlined his job of assigning referees to games and supervising the develop menl of young officials. He said that his aim is to get as many men Interested of ficiating as he can and bring ing them up. He brought out I that he goes by the book in talking over games with refs. Two main concerns of the commissioner, he said, are that arbiters have proper posi tion on the floor and that they Interpret rules correctly. Another matter of considera tion is the mechanics of the officials. Signals of officials to the timekeepers, he men tioned, need to be executed properly in order not to con sume playing time. No Other Way Noble remarked that he never questions the judgment of referees if they are in the right position on top of a piny. He said further that he instructs the arbiters to call everything they sec, if its In mo ruie dook, lo ue consist ent. "1 don't think there is any other way," the commissioner remarked. He spoke of the meetings held every two weeks to go over "beefs'" and to Iron out some of the in consistencies but pointed out that officials living at Klii- it -2 1 sx A Heated for cold weather conditions or 664-1217 Hunter's 50-foot shot for Wil liam and Mary at the final buzzer hit the front rim and bounced away. The Engineers hit on only 26 per cent of their shots, but John Herbert made the most of this inaccuracy with a Tech high of 12 points. Hunter scored 16 points for W&M. Ties for Lead Mississippi State tied Geor gia Tech for the Southwestern conference lead by swamping Tulanc, 91-73, in a league game. The ninth ranked Staters, held to a 37-37 inter mission tie, broke loose in the second half as Leland Mit chell led the way with a game total of 29 points. Jim Kerwin, the leading scorer in the SEC, paced Tu- lane with 27 points. Fifth-ranked Arizona State had no trouble in overpower ing New Mexico State, 87-62 but luck ran out on seventh- rated Colorado as it dropped a 52-40 decision, to Oklahoma State. Mark of Good Linebackers math Falls had not been the meetings. to Noble reported hearing con versations charging referees with picking on a player. He said that he had known of only one such instance in 20 years of officiating. He brought out that mentioning coaches by name or players by name or number at ref erees meetings is taboo. The offensive man In bas ketball has been given the right of way in basketball, according to the commission er, and expressed the feeling that consideration should be given to the defensive man. In response to a query. Noble agreed that rules should be relaxed. Referees are sincere or they wouldn't be out there," Noble contended. "They are doing the job the best they can." In discussing the problem involved tin trying to rotate officials, Noble brought out that of some 60 names sub' mltted, only 15 were accept' able to coaches to handle Southern Oregon conference games. Of these 12 were ap proved by Medford but five live here and can't work games in Medford, leaving seven to pick from. Crater approved 13, Grants Pass 14. Klamath Falls 11 and Ashland 10. But, five are out from tilts at Grants Pass and four from Klamath by their residence. Four of those okeli- ed by Ashland and four pick ed by Crater live at Klamath Falls and those schools want referees living in the Rojue valley because of the mileage pay involved In bringing of ficials from Klamath. Three officials each arc ap proved by one conference school but not by others so can't be assigned lo big school games. The number of referees available for Medford gamrs has since been increased to eight. Noble said that closeness of the Southern Oregon race this year has given him no chance to run in any single new officials for trial.

Essclstyn disogieed with t ie idea of an official not being permitted to referee games in his home town. Aribtcrs call games by instinct, he main tained.

Wick la us Player In By HAL WOOD UPI Sports Writer Palm Springs, Calif. - IUPD - Jack Nicklaus and other mem bers of golf's "big five" left the California gold rush to day heading for Arizona in the hope of striking another bonanza. The National Open king subdued Gary Player with such ease in the playoff for the Palm Springs Gold Classic championship Monday that he automatically takes on the mantle of favorite to win the Phoenix Open starting Thurs day. With five tournaments un der their belts, the touring professionals have watched members of the "big five" win four of them. Arnold Palmer won at Los Angeles, Player at San Diego, Billy Casper the Crosby at Pebble Beach, and then Nicklaus here. The only title to escape them was the San Francisco Lucky International, won by veteran Jackie Burke. The other member of the "big five," Gene Littler, hasn't won yet. But he finished off the Palm Springs event by shooting the lowest round of the tourney, a 64 - and ap pears ready to step into title competition In Arizona. Pocket The Purses The five men, in addition to winning four or five titles, have captured $54,023 of the $210,000 in purses offered. With nearly 100 pros on the winter tour, that leaves slim pickings for the rest of the crew. Nicklaus, who at one time had decided to skip Palm Springs, because of bursitis in his hip, had been having a rough year for him on the tour before he hit the jack pot here. He had blown a five stroke lead on Sunday during the fifth round of the tournament. He had been fading his tee shots so badly that he even asked advice from his wife - who doesn't play golf. But when he got into the playoff Monday against Play er, everything was precision. He birdicd the first hole with a 10-foot putt and never look ed back. He out-drove Player by as much as 50 yards on many holes.

Even with the six-shot ad vantage, the one-time Ohio State athlete never let up. Player, taking a trimming, continued to fight and birdied the 17th and 18th holes. But Nicklaus birdied the 17th and eagled the 18th-each with 35 foot putts. He had a final 65 against two-over-par 73 for Player. The victory was worth $9,000 to the new champion and $4,600 to the runner-up. "And we want it definitely understood," the two men chorused after the battle, "that we didn't split the purse.
