Dons Fall
To Santa
Barbara
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI)-The
West Coast Athletic Conference
tournament was supposed to be
all USF's show, but (lie title
was up for grabs today.
The four previous WCAC tour
naments have always been spat
tered with upsets, but It's doubt
ful any ever matched Thursday
night's 68-57 win by California
of Santa Barbara over host
USF.
The Gauchos oulscored the
suddenly cold Dons by a 26-7
margin in the final stanza (o
come from behind for victory.
Howie Sundberg and Tom Lee
led the winners with 19 and 16,
while Ollie Johnson had 15 for
the Dons.
In olhcr first-round action, it
was San Jose State 68 Loyola
6:1, Santa Clara 82 Pepperdine
6!) and St. Mary's 68 University
of Pacific 62.
It will be Santa Clara -St.
Mary's and Santa Barbara-San
Jose Slate in semi-final games
today.
San Jose State's S. R. Satfold
hit 14 against Loyola and hit the
10-foot jumper wilh nine min-
ules to go that put the Spartans
ahead in the see-saw struggle.
Jim O'Kcefc had 14 for Loyola.
Sanla Clara also made a
strong comeback to win. It was
27-12 Pepperdine midway in the
first half but then the Broncs'
hotshot Russ Vrankovich found
the range and by halftimc it
was :i6-all. The Broncs dominat
ed the second half.
Vrankovich blistered the hoop
for 28 points, best scoring burst
of the first round. Ted Bridges
and Roland Bolts each tossed in
17 for the losers.
SI. Mary's triumph was its
first after seven straight losses
this year. Five Gaels hit in dou
ble figures, while Bill Wilson led
the Tigers with 20.
The Broncs and Gaels have
never lost a first-round contest
in this tourney. Pepperdine and
University of Pacific had never
won one.
Hut the big news was Sanla
Barbara 8 dumping of tho Dons,
picked by many experts as one
of the nation's strongest quin-
tels. They were just among the
also rans here today.

It's cold out there, and bi

it as thev head into a long win
ter of outdoor work determining
the condition of Oregon's big
game populations. It may be
from a pair of snowshocs Uiat
the game men watch and count,
or an airplane under milder
weather conditions, but what
ever the method of transporta
tion, it is a dawn to dark show
which becan at the close of the
elk season and will extend into
late April of the following spring.
l'llEUlUUUN TI.MK.
Info;".ialion gathered on the
winter ranges will determine
what's in store for big game
hunters during next fall's hunt
ing seasons. It is here that
game biologists seek out the
animals, watcn mem as mcy
go through the winter, study
food supplies, keep a critical
eye on animal condition, record
mortality, sex and age, and tho
number of animals observed on
each range.
Cold, snow, mud, wind or
rain do not stop the surveys,
for game agents must travel in
all kinds of weather if the status
of Oregon's big game Is to be
determined.
IIKRI) COMPOSITION
The first phase of this annual
inventory is herd composition
to determine the ratio of males,
females and youngsters in each
herd. This work receives top
priority beginning in late fall
until midwinter on all ranges.
Such studies give an accurate
picture of the fawn or calf pro
duction, and the number of
buck deer or bull elk available
for breeding and hunting pur
poses. Year after year, most of the
bucks killed during Ihe hunting
seasons consist of forked horns
or yearling bucks. If the sur
veys indicate a good lawn crop
hunters can expect a good buck
crop next year. If Ihe fawn
cron is down on any given range,
hunters can expect a like de
cline in the buck crop available
Herd composition must be
completed before buck deer or
bull elk lose Ihcir ant tot s, iiy
mid-January herd composition
is no longer feasible on deer
as bucks arc rapidly shedding
their anllers. Game biologists
have a liltle more leeway on
elk as these majestic game ani
mals retain their anllers for a
longer period of time. Wilh some
it is as late as mid-March or
early April before the massive
antlers arc shed and new
growth begins.
YEARLY CENSUS
Herd composition does not

when his team takes the floor
against the Cougars of Illinois

The starters, unless he
changes his mind, would be Lon

"Glasgow and Mesloh played
well for us in the tournament
at Lakeview." Bates explained
He was especially pleased with
Glasgow, who in his first varsity
start scored eight points and
was a standout on defense.
The Eagles drilled Thursday

and timing. The team has an

alone is the driving force and
competition is keen for the
meager food supplies on these
restricted ranaes. As food sup
plies are consumed danger is
forgotten, senses auuea excepi
the gnawing urge for food, and
even this may become dulled in
time. Under such conditions
many animals will starve before
spring, with fawns and year
lings usually the first to go.
Extreme cold will also take its
toll, mainly of older animals
unable to generate body heat
from the meager food supplies
to withstand the frigid tempera
tures. RESULTS
Winter surveys give an accu

numbers ot male animals in
each herd, fawn or calf crop,

LONG BEACH, Calif. (UPD
Washington fullback Junior Cof
fey, once consigned to a spec
tator's role in the Rose Bowl
game because of a foot frac
ture, worked out in sweat
clothes today and it appeared
that ho may be able to play
against Illinois New Year's
Day.
The 210-pound ball-carrier was
fitted with a specially built shoe
to support the tiny fracture
near the lillle toe on his left
foot. He experienced some pain
when the shoe was laced but
this was expected lo ease off,
according lo the team physician.
Later Coffey said, "It feels so
good, it makes me want to
laugh."
No one on Ihe Washington
slaff including Head Coach Jim
Owens would say that Coffey
would definitely play, but there
was strong hope.
lhc team physician, who ask
ed that his name be withheld,
said, "Anybody's guess is as
anybody else's. We're just sil
ling around here hoping. Every
orthopedic man we've talked to
says there's no reason why he
cannot play. But we cannot def
inilely say he will play."
"We'll just have to wait and
see what develops," Owens said.
A cast stretching from Ihe
Iocs lo the knee on Coffey's left
leg was applied last Saturday
after the fullback complained of
foot pains. The cast was re
moved Wednesday night.
"Our doctors have determined
Coffey's injury is a slight stress
fracture," Owens said. "They
wish to sec how the foot re
sponds without a cast. They
recommended limited exercise."

YOU
DIDN'T
KNOW
by aul Lea
What wis the fjstest
knockout in boxing history?
. , . For years, the record
was 1 1 seconds, allowing
one second for the KO
punch and 10 seconds for
the count ... But in 1957,
there was a fight in Wales
in which Teddie Barker
threw one punch at Bob
Roberts and the referee
stopped the fight immedi
ately without a count, and
ruled a TKO . . . Total time
of the fight: two seconds!
Here's one to bring back
memories for you . . . Here
are the first team Ail
American college football
backs of just 25 years ago
this season in 1938". . ,
Remember Davey O'Brien of
TCU? . . . Then there was
Marshall Goldberg of Pitt
. . . Parker Hall of Missis
sippi . , . and Eric Tipton
of Duke ... By the way,
O'Brien, Goldberg and Hall
all became pro football
stars after their college days,
and Tipton became a major
league baseball player.
One of the most amazing
teams in football history was
the school the immortal Jim
Thorpe played for Car
lisle . . . Here are some
facts about Carlisle I bet
you didn't know ... It
was, first of all, NOT a
college, but rather more of
an industrial high school to
train Indians, yet Carlisle
played the biggest and best
college teams and regularly
beat them . . . There were
never more than 250 boys
over 16 at the school! . . .
And most of the boys had
never plaved football be
fore coming there ... To
make it even tougher for
Carlisle, they seldom played
home games . . . Carlisle
fielded teams only between
1893 and 1917 when the
school was closed, but its
name will live on as long as
football is played.
Basketball fant knew this
time of year as the Holiday
Tournament time. The Far
West Classic gets played
this weekend with OSU the
favorite to repeat ai champs.
The Beavers have won the
clastic every year since it
began (1956). The Phoenii
Pirates and St. Mary's Cru
saders both art undefeated
thus far this year. Both will
play in the Cave Junction
Lions Club holiday tourna
ment. This tourney opens
tonite on the Illinois Valley
High School Court. And, this
is the football fans finest
hour as all the bow games
are played this weekend and
next week. The U of O
Ducks will meet SMU Tuei
day in the Sun Bowl. This
should be a great weekend
for sports fans and we hope
vou all enjoy it and the
New Year as fully at poi
sible. LEA MOTORS
