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

onal collegiate individual high
scoring basketball crown. Mc
Keely now boasts 679 points and
foes after the 700-point mark

J Jim Lacy, of Baltimore Lo
Jola, who several weeks ago was

west star, now is far in the rear
yith 578 points and apparently
had little chance of catching up,
Although he will participate in
he Mason-Dixon tourney open
ing tonight at Washington, D. C.
Darrel Brown, of Humboldt
Calif.) State, currently holds
mira place at aba points, but
Since Humboldt's season is over.
Brown may yield to McNeely's

SARASOTA, Fla., March 6
(;pj Ted Williams pulled his
new car to a screaming stop and
stepped into the bright sunshine.
The Boston Red Sox officially
had opened spring training.
Lean and tan after ' two
months fishing in the Ever
glades, slim Teddy held court in
a sidewalk interview. Twisting
and turning his head and cran
ing his neck like a schoolboy,
the slugger answered the queries
of newsmen who had been
awaiting his arrival.
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."

CORRAL
Howdy Folks: " . 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

This afternoon on Fairview

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.
Score at the end of the regular
time was 24-24.
