The northern division Pacific
coast conference basketoau race,
paced by Oregon State with
Washington's Huskies only half
a game behind nears the half
way point Friday and Saturday
and an upset or two can mater
ially change the face of things..
Washington bounced back af
ter a Friday defeat and handed
Idaho's scrappy Vandals a 67-55
beating Saturday. . The Beavers,
however, clung to their lead
with a 50-45 conquest of Ore
gon, last year's champions.
Washington will play Oregon
at Eugene Friday and Saturday,
with the conference leaders
meeting Idaho at Moscow the
same days.
Washington led all the way
against the Vandals, although
the second half was close until
the Vandals broke up their de
fense in the final eight minutes
in an effort to crack the Huskies
"freeze" on the ball. The half
time count was 30-24. Jack Pom
fret of Washington was high
point man with 19 points, 12 of
. them in the 1st half. Mortensen's
14 was the best Idaho perform
ance. Norm Dealthorp counted
16 and Le Don Henson 18 for the
Huskies.
The Beavers took good ad
vantage of superior height to
defeat Oregon. The Webfoots
opened the scoring with a gift
toss and OSC immediately coun
tered with a field goal. The
Beavers kept the lead from
there on, and closed out the
first half with a 28-22 edge.
Big Red Rocha paced the OSC
attack, with 21 points.
Oregon's best effort was early
in the second half when the
Webfoots closed the gap to 31-30
and 34-33 but the Beavers step
ped up the pace and won going
away.

Nelson Takes Rest .
LOS ANGELES Jan. 21 (P)
Byron Nelson, who admits he's
"tired" after chalking up con
secutive wins in the Texas, Los
Angeles and San Francisco Open
golf tournaments, said today he's
going to take a much-earned rest
but that in about three weeks he
hopes to be back in competition.
Passing up the Richmond
Open, Nelson stopped over here
en route to his home in Toledo,
O., for a business trip and a phy
sical check-up.
"There's nothing particularly
wrong with me," he said. "I'm
just tired. I expect to be off the
tournaments for about three
weeks. I'll probably pick up the
boys again in Texas, if not in
New Orleans.
"Then I'll play until early in
April when I m going to Africa.
I'll be back from there in plenty
of time for the National Open
at Cleveland in June."

Tony Penna
Wins $2000
Tournament
RICHMOND, Calif., Jan. 21
(l') Little Tony Penna, color
lul Dayton, O.. professional Holl
er and winner of the Richmond
Open, pocketed $2000 in Victory
bunds today and headed for
Phoenix, next stop on the winter
tournament circuit.
Penna led a fast field to the
fire in thu final lap ot the Rich
mond 72-holer, posting a totul of
280. He was tied for second on
the opening day and moved out
in front in the second round,
when he uncorked a dazzling to'5,
six under par, and the best 18
hole score during the four days.
Penna put together rounds 6U-tiS-
73-73 lor his 280.
The final round produced a
thrilling climax when Penna,
needing a birdie 4 to win, rolled
in a putt of about six feet. He
was the lust to finish among
those- with a chance to win top
money.
Three stars, Sam Byrd, De
troit, Mark Fry, Oakland, Calif.,
ahd Ben Hogan, Hershey. Pa.,
were deadlocked with a chance
for first at 281 when 38-year-old
Penna dropped his winning
putt. He had lofted a 79-yard
approach into position.
This was his first major tour
nament win since the Kansas
Open in 1938, the year he took
third in tho U. S. Open. Penna
is in the surge of a comeback
and will be one of those to
watch in the Arizona event.
Beginning this year he tied
for 13th in the Los Angeles
Open, winning $273.33. After
that he tied for eighth in the
San Francisco Open, earning
$800, both payoffs in Victory

lected $1011 in bonds for their
second place tie at 261 at Rich
