Beavers' Title Series With UCLA Kepf Quief State Seen As Favorite By MATT R. KRAMER CORVALLIS, Ore., March 6 H) Oregon State and UCLA wyl meet here tomorrow night ln the opening game of the Pa cific roast's annual basketball classic .the winner to so on to the western NCAA finals at Kansas City but there is a ilfange public calm about it. Normally enthusiastic, t h e public may not be whoopin' it ud because only 700 of them will get into the game Oregon Spate's other 1800 scats are re served for students or it may b that no one wants to get out oil a partisan limb. - .Statistics are that evenly matched, and the teams have nit met before. They haven't e4en played common opponents. Oregon State won the title in t northern division of the Pa cific Coast conference for the fifth time since Amory T. "Slats" Gill became coach 18 ydars ago and UCLA won the southern division for the first time in the school's history. Oregon State has perhaot a flight dg on paper, but Bea Tr fans are scared silly of what big Don Barksdale. UCLA center, may do to their team, Barksdale, a rugged negro backboard worker at 215 pounds and 6 feet 6 inches, has aver aged 16.5 points a game. Occa sionally he runs up to 30 points it! a contest. JUCLA Coach Wilbur Johns credits him with an unstoppable play. "He jumps and throws the bhll down through the hoop, Johns says. Oregon State has its own scor ing expert, Ephraim "Red Bbcha, who stands 6 feet 8 inches, but whose 180 pounds can't match Barkdale's weight, ah important factor under the bfcekboards. , Rocha has managed, how ever, to arerage 13.5 points a bams against fairly rugged op ponents in the northern di vision. Like Barkdale he is Capable of a terrific single game performance. One night (gainst Idaho, he ran up 38 roints. a division record. Other team members match el'enly on height and scoring ability. , ' If Oregon State has an edge Jft remaining statistics 63.3 ppints a game to UCLA's 58 while allowing ODDonents an av erage 40.7 to UCLA's 48 the California fans can point to their team's late-season rush in which it won the southern title, aver aging 66 points in each of the last eight games. UCLA is scheduled to arrive today in time to work out be fbre the game tomorrow.

In keeping with a quaint Wil liams custom, Teddy arrived late yesterday afternoon, hours after the regular workout and three days after the rest of the team reDOrted. He mumbled something about being caught in the heavy traffic and visiting a reptile farm but nobody paid much attention. The team had arrived. ' j . "Are you going to try hitting to left field this year?" a re porter asked. "I'm not going to change my style," the splendid splinter re plied as he eased into a pair of knee length woolen socks. - "It all depends on what they do to me. If they pile to many men into right field, I'll have to do something."

I 'Bout this time of year fer three summers I've writ this j hoss bulletin, so all winter I've learnin' to read an' spell a mite better in hopes to do a bang-up job of bringin' the hoss nooze to the publick again. Tother day I got a surprise while a chinnin' with "Doc" Hunt. He's one of them vegetar ians or whatever is they call a hoss dock. Well sir, he stuck his thumbs in his galluses and tuk a chaw of terbacky and cut loose on trottin' races. Why that feller knows more 'bout harness hosses than you'd gather in a life time of book learnin'. This season seems to be startin' off with an unusual spurt of ridin' . . . old and new faces with plenty of unfamiliar hosses bein' broke. Charlie Read and Lamar Townsend both showed their manege when they hitched up to a buggy and a sled. Both fel lers had a run away that mint 'bout ever thing fer miles 'round. Cudn't pick up enuff of them rigs to kindle a fire. Ruth and Ed Williams got themselves two new sorrels that rate top billin'. Out in Poe valley at the Horton ranch they shipped in a load of them quarter hosses and to my way of thinkin' there never wuz a cow-pony ever looked thru' a bridle that kin come close to a quarter hoss fer sawy, speed or pullin' on a rope at the rite time. I'm a holdin' a bead on the Saddle club a;in this year and found out they're celebratin' the third anyversery this week with a party. It'll be a whing-dinger when that herd of girls graze on a plot of hors d'oeuvres and trimmins' at Gladys Hogue's home. Over ta Lakev'ew las' week, John "Silent" King, one of the Elk fellers, dressed all up like a woman with curls and curves an' stepped out to win a prize. R. E. Rhodes, better known as Bob, also splurged cowboy chaps, tak in' the part of "Open the Door Richard" to finish in the money at the big masquerade. Saw O. L. Brown and he's jist as spry as a fiddlers bow since he got outta the horspittle. Riverside Tops Teddies, 29-12 Riverside defeated Roosevelt 29 to 12 yesterday afternoon to knock the Teddies out of the grade school B basketball run ning. Douglas Pence led the scoring with 12 points for the winners.

Pv grot to admit there's some, thing to it A lot of our folks are inclined to be pretty outspoken and quick to criticize . , . even about little things, like a woman's ' hat, or a man's preference for a glass of beer, or the color of Cy Hartman's new barn. But when anyone's in trouble, those differences and points at Ctfyrifht, Pelicans Again Tip Medford Klamath's Pelicans wound up their district basketball schedule on KUHS court last night by beating the Medford Tigers 50 to 36, and Conch Wayne Scott has outlined a moderately stiff slate of practice for the Pels before they take oft for Eugcno and the state tourney next week. Last night's game was an anti climax, but it was a better con test from a spectator point of view than the one Tuesday eve ning when the Pels .cinched dis trict 4 laurels and the state play, off berth. In fact, the Pelicans never be gan to get a bulge on the Tor nado until the third quarter. Halftimc score was 21-21. The count was cither tied or changed hands 17 times before inter mission. Bill Singler foultd Gen Hover to give Klamath the first score of the gam, but Frsddi Chs dumped in i bat kt to tak th lad away in in first minut of play. Jo Zarosinski bounced on around on th rim to put th Pls head 3-2. thn Bill Wrnr potted a foul shot for M.dford to vn th scor. The game went on that way with both teams being deadly accurate on foul tosses and very few baskets being made, and Klamath was ahead 10-8 at the close of the first quarter. In the second period Tom Mot tern tied the count again but the Pels built up a three-point lead before the Tigers came up to tie the halftime count. But Joe Chez fouled LeRoy Coleman right at the start of the third period, and Coleman's per. lect . one-point delivery put the Pelicans ahead for the remain der of the game. It was close for a while but Medford never fully caught up although there was a long dry spell late in the third period when the Tigers drew six straight foul shots and made four. Jo Zarosinski and LtRoy Coiaman sank 12 points ach to head th scoring, and Clar ence Bussman. although h played only th second half of th gam, accounted for nine. Bill Wrnr scord nin points for th Tigtrs. The opening game last night between Altamont and Fremont junior highs was a thriller, with Altamont emerging victorious by 30-28 in an overtime period.
