Oilers Top
Oakland For
AAU Throne
DENVER, March 24 For
the fifth consecutive year Bar
tlesville, Okla., was the national
AAU basketball throne room to
day, for their fire-eating Oilers
bad done it again.
Bartlesville (Phillips 66) top
ped the ambitions of Oakland,
Calif., (Bittners) 62-41, in the
Saturday night finals of the
AAU basketball championships
in Denver and there was no
doubt as to what club was boss.
Although Oakland sports such
sleek basketball high-pointers as
Jim Pollard and Paul Napoli
tano, the Oilers, sparked by vet
erans Gordon Carpenter, Cab
Renick and Marty Nash, took
the game into their own hands
from the start.
But it was in the last quarter,
after a half-time score which
saw Bartlesville ahead, 43-33,
that the champs broke out the
panic material.
Four of the championship club
members were on the all-star
10-man squad. They were Gor
don Carpenter, Cab Renick,
Marty Nash and seven-foot Bob
Kurland.
In the opening game the Den
ver Nuggets waltzed away with
a 68-36 win over Seattle (Alpine
Dairy) in a contest for third
place. Seattle employed its fine
precision ball game in the first
half and managed to keep the
score down, but in the third and
last quarters the Denver, club
pulled 6teadily away.-

Four Yanks
Grab Spots
In Olympics
By JIM HUTCHESON
HYAK. Wash.. March 24 -P)
Over a hill that produced Amer
ican record-beating exhibition
leaps on two successive days,
four top American ski stars
clinched places on the 1948
United States Olympics ski
jumping team before a Cascades
mountain snowstorm blew in last
night.
It was a field day for the mid
west ski riders. Three of the
competitors named by the
Olympics selection committee
hail from the ski capitals of
northern Michigan and the
fourth from Minnesota.
They were, in the order in
which they placed in the tough
two-day competition: Joe Per
rault, Ishpeming, Mich.; Walter
Bietua, iron Mountain, Mien.:
Sverre Fredheim, St. Paul, and
Ralph Bietila. Ishpeming, young
est of the three famed jumping
brothers.
Art Devlin, New York state's
top jumper, also is expected to
be a member of the team. He
did not compete in the trials be
cause of a recent injury.
While the Olympics candidates
were concentrating on form, a
chunky Norwegian, out for dis
tance, stole the fancy of the
crowd which Milwaukee railroad
officials estimated in excess of
6000.
Arnold Kongsgaard of Kongs
berg, Norway, who was freed
from a nazi concentration camp
less than two years ago, leaped
a stunning 294 feet on his sec
ond try of the day on the Mil
waukee Bowl's Olympian hill.
It exceeded by five feet the
289-foot national record of the
late Torger Tokle and was four
fee ahead of the leap Kongs
gaard made the previous day. It
was on the same hill where
Tokle set an American record
of 288 in 1941 a record which
he broke at Iron Mountain a year
later.

played less than two minutes, gave Oklahoma the title with ten
seconds remaining.

national titles for teams from the State of Oklahoma. The
Oklahoma A and M Aggies have won the last two champion
ships. :

Oklahoma by two points, trounced the University of Wyoming
