Oregon Staters, Arizonans Far West Region Finalists By STEVE SMILANICH Provo, Utah - (liPl) - Speedy Arizona State university and deliberate Oregon State, a pair of teams with exception al size and balance, posted Friday night victories to ad vance to Saturday night finals for the NCAA Far West re gional basketball champion ship. ' ,- . . Arizona Stale entered the quarterfinal round of nation al tournament action by scor ing a convincing 93-79 vic tory over UCLA Friday night, while Oregon State edged University of San Francisco, 65-81. A crowd of 9,704 saw the doubleheader at Brigham Young university fieldhouse. Sun Devils Favored Arizona State, winner of the Western Athletic confer ence and possessor of an im pressive 26-2 record, became the favorite in the title game. The Sun Devils inherited the favorite role with a convinc ing triumph over the Bruins. The hot-shooting Arizonans were never headed and hit an amazing 59 per cent from the field in the first half to roll up a 62-31 lead. UCLA, the Big Six co champion, could never recov er from the first five minutes when Arizona State raced to a 14-3 lead. At one point In the first half, coach Ned Wulk's crew had a 26-point advantage at 43-17. Five players hit in double figures for Arizona State, with Art Becker leading the way with 23 points. Team mate Joe Caldwell had 22 and Tony Cerkvenik 18. Baker Shines The Sun Devils also beat the Bruins on the boards, grabbing 63 rebounds to 49 for UCLA. Top Bruin scorer was Jack Hirsch with 19. Fred Slaugh ter followed with 14. Oregon State relied once again on its one-two attack of lumbering Mel Counts and reliable Terry Baker. Counts, a seven-foot junior, threw in 22 points and Baker con tributed 21 in leading the Bea vers to victory over the fired up Dons.

Ed Thomas, a 6-fooU4 for ward, led San Francisco, the West Coast Athletic confer ence champions, with 21 points.

MEDFOMtf531TRIBUNE siPdDiHnrs NY Yankees Seem To Have It Again (This Is the first of 20 dis patches on the 1963 pros pacts of tha major league baseball clubs.) By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor Fort Lauderdale, Fla. - OJPD - The Yankees seem to have it again - in spades. What's wrong with: -An outfield of Mickey Mantle, Roger Marls and Tom Tresh? -An infield of Joe Pepitone, Robby Richardson, Tony Ku- bek and Clete Bpyer? -A catching staff of Elston Howard, Johnny Blanchard and Yogi Berra? -A starting pitching staff of Ralph Terry, Whitey Ford, Bill Stafford and Stan Wil liams with Jim Coats, Roland Sheldon and Bud Daley for middle Inning relief and spot starting assignments and Mar shall Bridges, Luis Arroyo, BUI Kunkel and Hal Renlff for late relief? The answer is not much, if anything. That is why the odds makers have made the Yankees odds-on favorites to win their fourth straight American league pennant. Such rival managers as Al Lopez of the White Sox, Billy Hitchcock of the Orioles, Bob Scheffing of the Tigers and Sam Mele of the Twins admit the outlook is discouraging. Scheffing expressed it best for the managers when he said: "The Yankees had an off year in 1962 and still won, when they were ready to be taken. They figure to be stronger this year. So do the contending clubs. The ques tion is whether any of us have been strengthened enough to catch the Yankees.

Manager Ralph Houk of the Yankees agrees. "I feel we will win again," says Houk, who has a perfect record as the Yankees' man ager - two pennants and two world championships in two years. "If I didn't think we should win, I should be fired. And I don't like to think about being fired." Unworried About First I If there is one question about the 1963 Yankees it is first base because they traded away Bill Skowron to get Williams. But Houk is not worried aVout it. He is con fident that Pepitone will fill the bill. If not he has Hector Lopez, a jack of all trades' to back him up. The front line is not all Houk has going for him. He has Phil Linz for reserve In field duty and he could play shortstop regularly with most every other cluh in the league; he has the veteran Dale Long for pinch hitting and first base utility duty and Jack Reed and Lopez as other handy men. Then there are such pitch ing possibilities as Jim Bou ton, Jim Bronstad, Art Ditmar and Al Dowling to mention only a few. Little wonder those rival managers, while hopeful, do not look upon 1963 as very promising, and that the Yan kees are 2-5 favorites to win again.
