Newspaper Page TextrHl Oregon State Rated Quintet To Beat in Western Basketball This Is another in a series 'of dispatches siting up basket ball prospects In various sec tions of the country. By HAL WOOD UPI Sports Writer SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -Unless someone comes up with a defense to stop the great Mel Counts, Oregon State is expect ed to waltz away with the West Coast college basketball honors this year. : The only team given a chance to stop the Beavers is University of San Francisco. And that, if it materializes, will leave the Big Six schools out in the cold when it comes to representing this area in the NCAA playoffs. "Oregon State has to be rat ed the team to beat for the western NCAA championship," says little Rene Herrerias, coach at University of Californ ia. "And next in line should be University of San Francisco.". Stanford and UCLA, the de fending co-champions of the Big Six, should be listed as co-favorites for the AAWU league crown. ; - Count On Counts ; ' Oregon State lost it's ' All American football player, Terry ; Baker. But Counts was the big , man in the Beaver attack, any way, and he'll be on the job, bet- ter than ever.

Their only los ing year in all that time was in 1933. Ever wcnr'ir who "it - rent ed" football bowl games? . . . A Pasadena, Calif., busi nessman, James Wagner, is credited with the original idea ... To promote Pasa dena's Tournament of Roses affair in 1902, he got the idea of staging a post-season football game ... All of to day's bowl games stem from Wagner's idea sixty years ago- Here's an oddity . . . Can you imagine, a major college football team going through an entire season without scoring a point? , . . Has it ever happened? . . . The answer is yes . . . last time was in 1923 when Villanova played eight games and did not score a single point all season. Well, our football season year for the way they won and the way they conducted themselves when they lost because of a questionable call. In all ways they showed themselves to be gentlemen and reflected well on their coaching. Now we took for ward with anticipation to the basketball season.

"We have the potential to re tain the title," says Coach Pete Peletta. "But our sophomores will have to jell with the veter ans.". ... Three fine sophomores are Joe Ellis, Russ Gumina and Er- wm Mueller. Veterans returning back include Dave Lee, Ed Thomas and Jim Brovellia, in addition to Johnson. ' Stanford has Tom Dose, high scoring center returning, along with Hollis Moore and Doug Clementson. There is a real fine sophomore in Bob Bedell, 6 feet 6 forward. Coach Bedell, Dallmar will have plenty of height. UCLA gets just about its whole team back. Heading the cast is high-scoring Walt Haz ard. Fred Slaughter and Gail Goodrich also will be on hand. Southern California has some thing of a rebuilding job. The Trojans lost Gordon Martin, the league's leading scorer last year; and guard Gary Holman signed a professional baseball contract. A fine prospect is Al len Young, a 6 feet 9 junior college transfer. Huskies Rebuilding Washington also will be re building with new players un der, a new coach, Mac Duck worth. Key to success of the club may be center Clint Peep les, 6 feet 9 senior, who will have to improve his scoring to make the Huskies click. , Other prospects include Charley Hart, Stu Wilson and Lynn Nance, the latter a hot junior college trans, fer. California, hoping to get off the floor after a sad season, could have a good club, led by center Camden Wall. Dan Luf kin will be the team leader, and Dan Wolthers is expected to aid the club. Washington State, which also had tough sleeding in 1962-63, has the whole team back, in eluding some good youngsters. Among the stars will be Byron Vadst, a senior guard and play- maker; and Dale Ford, a 6 feet 4 forward who has just been "discovered" as a fine football quarterback.

Still some of the bitter taste lin gers on from the failure of game officials to flag a penalty on Medford's point after touchdown play. Yet, this should not restrain Tornado fans in wishing the Roseburg Indians'' well as they go against Grant this evening in the Class A-l semifinals. The In dians, after all did play great ball against the Hurricane. And, the farther they go In the titular playoffs, the better Medford and the whole Southern Oregon Con ference looks. Good luck, Rose burg, is something we should have voiced earlier in the week. GOOD CASE The Black Tornado has a case which is hard to be disputed, with films to back it up, in maintaining that Roseburg was offside on the conversion play and that the offside was vital in preventing Medford's Billy, Col lins from getting his kick away. Said one man who was among those earliest to view the films: "The more I looked, the mad der I got." PLAYERS HURT But, of course, there was noth ing that could be done about it. Like death, it was quite final when no infraction was called, with the Black Tornado players hurt worse than any Joe Fan could be. It robbed feeling in tensified by the fact that a tie would have sent Medford into the semi-finals. Nevertheless, the faux pas, boner call it what you will is just going to have to be chalked up as Medford's bad break of 1963. This, with the memory that there also have been some real good breaks along the way. Now's the chance to really show qualities of sportsmanship. We'll just have to bear it. If we can grin, so much the better. SPORTS some seasoned talent to go along, including Steve Jones, Jim Johnson, Elliott Gleeson and Bob Yates. But he still hasn't found a top-flight center. Santa Clara, SI. Mary's, Pep perdine, Loyola and University of Pacific all expected to show improvement this year. But they all are in the WCAC, where the Dons of USF are expected to dominate.

Medford fans feel pretty confident, however, for he had booted seven out of eight conversion tries in two varsity encounters plus a field goal and an extra point in a jayvee game. LETTER INDICATED It's reported that Medford has hurled "broadsides" at the Ore gon School Activities Associa tion. None has come from the high school. However, it is un derstood that the local school likely will send a letter. This missive from Principal Lester Harris won't be a protest. A protest would be futile, anyway. Main theme of the letter, re portedly, will be to try to con vince OSAA authorities that game arbiters for football play offs should be sent from com pletely neutral districts, partic ularly if the schools involved de mand it. , . . Of course, Medford unhappi ness with the incident in the Roseburg game probably won't go unmentioned. There's talk that a factual report on the PAT play, as it appeared to Medford, may be included. There's strong temptation to send along a copy of the film. Superintendent of Schools Leonard Mayfield remarked that "we would feel remiss in our responsibility" if letter action was not taken. He terms Med ford's case "fairly objective." But, he stresses, "We can't blame Roseburg. We hope they can go all the way." GOOD WOULD COME Harris feels that good will come of a plan to have officials from neutral districts. Whether it would prevent "mistakes" is naturally subject to question. As Dr. Mayfield pointed out, mis takes can happen when human judgment is Involved and peO' pie don't always see a thing the same. Still the neutral 'district plan would tend to keep officials from being on the spot and to remove the accusations which arise when officials work cham pionship elimination games in volving teams close to their homes. - We are told that the present rule Is that officials are to come from the nearest neutral associ ation (not district). Grants Pass officials were assigned to the Medford-Roseburg game rather than .from. Eugene .because Grants Pass is four miles closer to Roseburg. WE WONDER One thing we wonder is how much rumpus would have been raised in the wake of last week's game had Medford come out on top. DAVIS COMMENTS Here's comment from Leo Da vis in his Portland Oregonian "Prep Patter." For a team with minimum ex perience in such matters, Med ford exercises admirable aplomb in the face of defeat. It took that . . . and probably an overdose of tranquilizers ... to quiet Tornado nerves after the loss to Roseburg. Movies confirm on-the-spot judgment that Roseburg was offside when it blocked the Tornado's try for point. A tie, had it neded so, would have ad vanced the Tornado into the semi-finals on the strength of total yardage. Bill Collins, Med ford's PAT specialist, was eight-for-nine, going into the play-offs and a good bet to make good on a second chance. Officials insist Medford s cen ter moved the ball and lured the Indians into a quick charge. If so there still should have been a penalty flag. As things stand, Medford is firing broadsides at the OSAA for its "penny-pinch Ing policies" in hiring Grants Pass officials, and some of the gloss is rubbed off Roseburg's well-earned victory. .
