Huskies Take Coast Crown NCAA Crosses Nichols Off BERKELEY, Calif., March 16 iAi The University of Washington Huskies, champion of the Pacific Coast conference, arc aoing to the NCAA western regional basketball tourney without their scoriae king pin, Jack Nichols. The Huskies dumped California's Bears 59-49 last night in a rough, (45 fouls were called) deciding game of their PCC title series. But that was the last tilt In which Nichols can help his teammates toward an NCAA title, or an Olympics berth. He set both single game and season scoring records for Washington. The ace playmakcr has had five seasons of varsity ball two of them at Southern California in a navy uniform. That was all right under PCC rules but not with the NCAA. His team is eligible for the NCAA, however. At Los Angeles, Prof. Hugh Willett, NCAA eligibility chairman, ex plained Nichols' case: "The NCAA Is divided Into eight sections. Each has its own eligi bility rules. However, when the teams play in Uie national tourna-1 ment. they must play under na tional rules, Thcrelore. it would be unfair to other districts to permit Nichols to play. His ineligibility, however, does not allect the team as a whole." In a similar case, Brtgham Young, j champion of the Skyline Six. re- i cently decided not to compete in the NCAA western regional after Its scoring ace was ruled Ineligible because of too many years varsity Play. HLSKICS ARE GOING However, Washington Coach Art McLarney declared the Huskies are going to the western regional at Kansas City this week-end. In last night's game. Jim Smith, substituting at center for the in jured Chuck Hanger, held Nichols to three field goals, but the big Husky played one of the best games of his career, feeding the ball to teammates for layups. California nursed a small lead most of the first half and led 30-24 at the rest period. Then the Huskies struck. They scored 18 paints in 10 minutes to take a 42-36 lead. Bill Taylor opened Washington's second half drive with a one-handed push shot from near the center line. Andy Opacich slipped in a pair of free throws and Sammy White fol lowed with a bucket from the key to tie the count after two minutes play. CHARITY TOSS LEADS Washington took its first lead of the game on Bill Vandenburgh's goal but George Walker knotted the count again at 32-all. A second later Taylor dropped in a free throw to give Washington a lead it never j relinquished. Opacich paced the second half i drive with 14 points. He led the Husky scorers with a game total of 16. Twenty-four fouls were called on Washington and 21 on California. Sam White and Bill Vandcnburgh of the Huskies and George Walker of California were sidelined on per sonals. Washington's victory earned its fourUi conference title. It was the first time since 1934 that a northern division team has won the scries on a southern division court, A Husky five turned the trick that time. too. against Southern California. It's A Smart Dodger Who Knows Where And When He's Going To Play This Season Citrus Loop Redbirds Develop Slugger ST. PETERSBURG. Fla.. March 16 11 Terry Moore, veteran center fielder of the St. Louis Cardinals, may be ible to rest more often this season now that his understudy. Chuck Diering. is showing signs of becoming a hitter.

March 16 iNEAi Visit ing the Dodgers ill this oldest city in the new world spoils a ramp fol lower headed for other major league training bases. There Is so much talent. With the Montreal farm hands at Han Cristobal, 20 miles away, there are close to 100 ballplayers on the island of Santo Domingo. Many more are toiling at Vero Beach, Fla., and elsewhere, and the great bulk of them are big and swift. Running over the tremendous Brooklyn roster with Leo Durocher. the best equipped of the other big league outfits seem short-handed. A Superba has to be a whiz, and then some, to know where he stands a Reese. Reiser. Robinson. Ed wards. Branca or a Casey.

Jackie Robinson has switched to his natural position, second base, of course, with the swift Sanders tak ing over at first. The Brooklyn camp feels that the Bums have been greatly improved, and that the ring-wise Muggsy Stanky will be of Immeasurable s slstance to the light-footed, but rather Inexperienced Boston short stop, Alvln Dark, which Is precisely why Billy Southworth made the deal. If Blackie Dark stands up. and mast baseball men are confident the Louisiana State alumnus will, the Braves may have gained more in the transaction thn the Broods.

Rainier high six-footer, who claims the stale record of 607 points for the season Just concluded, A 175-pound senior. Ball averaged 21.67 points In 26 games this winter, eclipsing the state record of 536 points he claimed last year after 37 games. His mark last year was considered phenomenal, but he far outdid it this winter, running up his 607 points In nine fewer games. The high point was reached In the third game of the season, when he tallied 45 points against a strong Vancouver. Wash., quintet. He normally was guarded by two. sometimes three opponents, and on three occasions was held to 10 points, low mark for any single game. This was no Indication that opponents had solved his style of play. In his first game against Jefierson of Portland he was held to 10 points. In a later contest, however, he banged 111 26. Astoria held him to 10 In a first meeting, but saw lum tally 31 in a second contest. In 16 of the 28 games he scored 20 points or more. Bull showed his talent at the slate tournament last year, but despite a 25-point performance by Ball, his team was eliminated in a crucial district 14 game this year by St. Helens, which should serve as a warning to St. Helens' opponents in the Eugene tourney.
