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.

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.
Baker, an All-America foot
ball player, put Oregon State
ahead with four minutes left

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. The situ

ation Is not the most encour
aging one in the world."
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.
