Buzolich Pastes Up Chance
To Set New Scoring Record
KANSAS CITY, March 14 (IP)
Because Pete Fogo, national in
tercollegiate basketball tourna
ment individual scoring record
holder, is "one of our fellows in
the foxholes" Big Nick Buzo
lich, Pepperdlne (Los Angeles)
star, passed up a chance to set a
new mark last night. r
Buzolich racked up 20 points
in thl firl. hlllf nf DnnnaW.na'.
77-42 victory over Peru (Neb.)
leacuers anu appeared well on
the way to beating Fogo's mark
of 38 fmf in tha 1 040 ,n,,nA..
But Buzolich sat out much' of
inc second naif and- contented
himself with passing to someone
else when he was on the floor.
He finished with 28 points.
Why didn't he go after the
record?
"I don't know that I could
have beaten Pete's mark," said
the 8-foot, . 7-inch ' Pepperdine
center, who is too tall to get in
to the armed service. "But even
if I could have done It, I didn't
feel much like trying when we
were so far ahead. Fogo was a
Pepperdine man, too, you know.
He's over in Europe in the army
and he's won the Purple Heart.
I didn't much care about break
ing his record."
Coach Al Duer said he left it
up lo Buzolich. .
"He said he wasn't interested
so I let him take it easy," was
Duer's comment after the game.
Pepperdine's triumph last
night filled out the upper
bracket quarterfinals.
In the- opener of the second
night's play West Texas State
also won its way to the quarter
finals by beating Wichita 54-43.
Central of Fayette, Mo., and
Eastern Kentucky had won
berths in. the-same bracket in
the first night's play Monday.
The Doane- Tigers - of - Crete,
Neb., furnished the big surprise
last night by putting Eastern
Washington out of the tourney.
The Washington five, seeded in
the lower bracket and. boasting
one of the nation's three high
scorers in Jack Pcrrault; last

Cox, Doane center, broke a 50-

Gene Else, Tiger forward, added

seconds after Eastern . Washing

with 15 points.

HAINES
Medford Favored to Cop Stats Title
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the top prep cago' teams In
the state of Oregon will battle it out for the highest goal of high
school basketball the state championship! , ,.
It looks to us that the Vnain threats to cop (he title1 are: (1)
Washington Colonials, (2) Medford Black Tornado, or (3) Eugene
Axemen. The rabid railbirrio an nli-uino u.J.
ford to collide with Washington in the finals
and, barring an unforeseen upset, we think that
will be the ticket. Eugene is slated to clash
with the Colonials at 3 p. m. on Thursday to
open the classic and the winner of this tussle
should go on through to the finals without much
trouble.
Medford is in the lower bracket and will
meet Vernonia, champ of districts 13-14, in its
first test. Thursday night. The Tornado should
whip straight th r o ug h all .opponents in its
weaker bracket, but may run; into a tartar in
Oregon City if the Pioneers can get by . Hills
boro, which they should do easily.
There is little doubt that the Portland league
is faster than the others and by that token the Colonials will
probably be slight favorites to capture the toga. We haven't seen
the Washington club play, but we . have seen Medford and the
Tornado is a tough outfit to whip. It. is now riding on the crest
of a victory-wave of 28 straight while the Colonials boast '23 tri
umphs against two defeats. The Eugene Axemen check in with a
magnificent record of 30 wins and one loss... ...
With these three fine teams all in there competing, picking
a winner is a difficult chore. After attempting-to. weigh all avail
able information on the tourney entrants,-it appears to -us that
it is Just about a toss-up between Washington and Medford, but
we are going to lay it on the line and pick Medford to come out
on top of the heap.
Our reasons for giving the Tornado the nod are threefold: (1)
Medford is just about the roughest ball club we have ever seen
in prep school competition and, although we do not- approve of
the slam-bang methods of. the Tornado, there are few who will
I say that they are not effective. (2) After receiving the scare of
men ,ivco Hum uie xicuimtii i-eiicaus in me aisirici tournament
at Ashland, Medford now appears to be waxing hot again as of
last Friday night's, terrific drubbing of Prineville, 53 to 26, to
cinch a tourney berth. (3) The third reason is somewhat psycho
logical. The Black Tornado, under Al Simpson, appears to have
the Indian sign on other district teams. The mere fact that they
are playing Medford has been enough to reduce other good ball
teams to a third-rate club. Medford comes to Willamette gym
nasium in Salem bearing a terrific record and some fives that
tangle with the Tornado will be beaten before the opening
whistle. Washington may be one of them. .
Ouch, This One Hurt! :
tVe were the recipients recently of a neat- little epistle.ifrom

Oregon. ..
It seems these lassies have taken violent exception to what
they call our "anti-Oregon write-ups which have been appearing
in ye-olde home town paper." - - s '
These thoughtful co-eds . even sent us the score of the WSC
Oregon tussle at Pullman last Saturday along with, an invitation
to attend the forthcoming Webfoot-Cougar clash Friday" night at
Eugene. They feel it may help us to a better appreciation of the
gallant Ducks if we see them in. action. ' : . ' - . ,
We appreciate your solicitude, girls, but as much as we'd like
JPi we can't get away for the game Friday. We would- like to
take thu means, though, to inform you that we are not against
Oregon. In fact, we -would like nothing better than to see the
Ducks cop the championship. . ......
- We have never stated, at any time, that we viewed the Web
fools uv an unfavorable light except to PICK the Cougars to win.
It is .quite.possible, girls,, to. pick one team to win and still be for
the other club. To put it in a nutshell, we WANT Oregon to take
.thetitl(V but-at the- same time- we -think -WSO-has the superior
team. . ....... L ,
