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. Two young sopho
j more stars on last year's team,
which would up fourth in the
NCAA tourney, also are on the
job: Jim Jarvis and Frank Pet-
Here's an amazing football
fact about Notre Dame , . .
Everybody knows they used
to have some great teams,
but to show how great, lock
at this . ..from 1889
through 1955 that's a per
iod of 66 years Notre
Dame had only ONE losing
season! . . . 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.
B Meanwhile, we want to in
B vite you ill to come down to
g our showroom and take a
look at the '64 model
Q Ramblers we have there. This
!is a too car and you're doing
yourself a disservice if you
don't at least take a look.

USF.has an Ail-American po
tential in Ollie Johnson to lead
the way in defense of its West
Coast Athletic Conference
crown.
"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.
Coach Steve Belko at Oregon
is counting on a frosh whiz,
Jim Barnett, to improve the
fortunes of the Webfoots. He has

Medford High's state quarter.
final football game with Rose
burg is one week old history.
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

improvement this year. But they
all are in the WCAC, where the
Dons of USF are expected to
dominate.

NO ONE KNOWS
No one knows for sure what
would have happened had Tor
nado kicker Collins had a sec
ond chance. 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. .
