REWARD Call 5898 , Jack Neipp s UCLA Threat Bottled Up CORVALLIS. Ore., March 8 Pt One up on UCLA with a 69-32 victory, Oregon State be came the favorite to win the Pacific coast conference crown here tonight in the second game between the teams. Sent out with orders from Coach Amory T. "Slats" Gill to "stop Barksdale," the Beavers did lust that last night. Putting two and sometimes three men on Center Don Barks dale, the high-scoring negro cen ter for UCLA, they held him to five field goals and a total of IS points. For the 6 foot 6-inch Barksdale that is a poor night. ins result was a convincing win for the Beavers. After overcoming jitters in the early minutes, they out-slick sr ad the Uclan Bruins in floor play and at times the losers seemed dased by the rapid ball-handling. . Early nervousness put the Beavers behind by a 6-0 count, but 8 foot 10-inch Lew Beck snapped them out of it. He set the pace on fast breaks into UCLA territory and within min utes they edged into the lead at 11-8. Then 6 foot 8-Inch Center Eptv rlam "Red" Rocha caueht fire, He dumped in six field goals In the first half, and the Beavers held a 39-26 advantage at the Intermission. It almost became a rout in the second period, the Beavers mov. ing first to a 13-point lead and later to a 20-point margin that was cut only after Gill removed his regulars to let them rest for tonight's effort. - Rocha. in between moments of guarding the ever-dangerous Barksdale.- found time to run his total to 20 points be for going to the bench with five minutes remainLaa. - - Despite the gang effort " on Barksdale, the 220-pound-Bruin was impressive. Several times he reached over three men to score with a flick of the wrist. Given any lack of alertness by Beaver aeienaers. ne could re verse the score toniaht. - In scoring, Forward Cliff Cran- aau of the Beavers duplicated Barksdale's 13 points. He was followed by Erland Anderson and Lew Beck of Oregon State with 12 each. Dick West was second high for the Uclans with 10. . Indoor Mark In 440 Set CHAMPAIGN, IU., March 8 (JPh-The University of Illinois.' powerful bid tonight for a sec ond straight Sig Nine indoor track title yielded the spotlight to the mini's own Jamaican born Herb McKenlev. who now has streaked to the fastest indoor and outdoor quarter mile times in the record books. McKinley last nieht blurred around the Illinois armory for a new American indoor 440 mark of 48 seconds flat in preliminary competition, of the Big Nine meet. There is no world record for the quarter mile indoors, but McKenley, who probably 'will represent Britain in the 1948 Olympic games, last spring gal loped to a new .world outdoor mark of :46.2 in the Big Nine cnampionsnips.

Basketball is a great sport to play and a great one to watch even for the casual specta tor. It's a lot of tun to pick out a team like the Pelicans or Chlloquin or Henley or Ashley Chevrolets, see every game the team plays and just generally follow the thing the end. . But of all the major organized sports, ketball probably lends itself less to good writing: and action covcrniio than any There lust isn't a dominant game from which to hang a news story and make it really colorful and good reading. No One Spectacular Crowning Punch Instead, basketball Is a rapid-fire succession of incidents and the only two concrete points a sports reporter can glaum onto are the score and the play which turned the tide tor the eventual winner. In football there Is usually a long broken-field run or a sensa tional pass completion that a sports writer can go Into a dither over. In baseball the crowning blow Is when a hitter clouts one over a distant fence. In boxing the stlckout point is a knockdown, in wrestling it's the fall, in almost every spectator sport there's that one thrill-packed incident that the fans remember for weeks to come and the sports writer uses as the feature Interest of his coverage. Every Sports Writer Has Same Worry But basketball is so fast that it just doesn't break out In sen sation like the other sports. That's not only true from my own Eersonal observation while trying to write up innumerable bas etball games this season. If yourd care to compare with basket ball coverage in other newspapers you'll find that every sports writer who does the hoop sport Is faced with the same problem. When he sits down to his typewriter he can't possibly put a picture of the breaking, checking, guarding, passing and shooting down on paper. It can't be done. He just starts out by telling which team won and that's that. Another angle that moat sports writers will agree on is .that there ia too much basketball. A reporter covering the sport will see probably five games to even the most rabid fan's one. and along about the first of March he's pretty well fed up with it and wishes football season would hurry and roll around. : l .... Klamath Can Be Proud Of Them Now that that's off my mind, and It's not to be considered a slam on the sport of basketball, let me say that up here at the high school we have one of Ihe best all-round hoop teams ever to grace this part of the country, and the Pelicans should go places in the playoff at Eugene. You won't find boys with more ability and a better sportsmanship attitude than the fellows on Wayne Scott's team this year. Out at Chlloquin Sandy Miller had a wonderful team and a Sang of fine boys. For a small school their record was the best the state and certainly a credit to the basketball-loving town of Chlloquin. It was unfortunate that the Panthers got bumped the first day in Arlington, but in this book they're still cham pions. ' . ' . - . . SNAPP LOOKING SHARP AT TRAINING SESSION ' Ursal Snapp, - the Merrill leather-puelfer now in training for his next bow in the local squared circle, looked plenty sharp as he mauled four spar ring mates with the 16-ounce pillows at the Salvation Army gym last night. Snapp went eight rounds, two with each spar boy, in keeping with his training policy of being prepared to go 10 rounds. The popular Ughtheavy fights Sonny Kelly Jackson, the tough Port land colored boy. Tuesday night. About a month, ago Jackson was decisioneov by Snapp, but the fight went 10 rounds, the first time Snapp had ever been required to take it and dish it out for that length of time. He Dig Nine Crown Hanging On Outcome Of Half Game EVANSTON, 111.. March 8 JP) The Big Nine basketball title, the conference's individual scor ing champion and possibly a berth in the NCAA playoffs will be decided tonight in an un precedented "20-minute" game between Wisconsin and Purdue. this fantastic finish of the western conference cage season reduced to capsule size has no parallel in sports. All the hon ors bestowed in a rugged cam paign during which each school played a total of 70 hours or more on the courts are Involved In this last half finish ot a game which was tragically interrupted February 24 by the collapse of a bleacher section in the Purdue fieldhouse. Three students were killed and more than 250 were injured in the accident. The Evanston high school gymnasium, a neutral court, will be the stage for Big Nine's cage wind-up. As the players square right down to I incident In the was jt weary boy when it was over; "! ' High spot of the remainder of the card for Tuesday will be the semi-wlndup between the fast-improving Monte Montgom ery and speed ball Bobby Morris of Bend, welterweights. Morris hse fought here only once, that on last May 21 when he pound ed Out a TKO over Rudy Carlson in one round. Montgomery, who Is probably the best ring prospect of all the boys fighting here, given proper guidance and training, has ap peared In the local ring eight times, won six, lost one and drew one. In his latest outing he knocked out Rudy Carlson In the first round. off for the start of the last 20 minutes of action the score board will show Purdue 34, Wis consin 33. A victory for Wisconsin would give the Badgers the Big Nine crown outright with nine victories and three defeats. A victory for eight-place 1 Purdue (4-7) would provide a three-way 1 tie among Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana.
