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.

Scorer Sidelined
EUGENE. March 16 Scoring specialists by the dozen will
be ill action at the slate class A high school tournament at Eugene,
but the hottest of them all will be on the sidelines.
He Is Bob Ball. 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.
