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

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.

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-

Hunter's 50-foot shot for Wil

buzzer hit the front rim and

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-

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.

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.

"It's easy when you have a
six stroke lead," said Nick

and after that I was just try

Even with the six-shot ad
vantage, the one-time Ohio
State athlete never let up.

The victory was worth
