LARRY YARNELLL , second team Cavemen Dominate All-Stars The Klamath Falls Pelicans were shut out in selection of the 1953-54 Southern Oregon Conference all star basketball team. Larry Yarnell was a second-team choice after the votes were count ed by Medford Mall-Tribune Sports Editor Dick Jewett. Big Four coa ches and sportswriters and sports casters cast ballots for the annual all-star tenm. IN STATE The first team was dominated by the champion Grants Pass Cave men who earned a berth in the Class A Oregon high school tourna ment in Eugene March 16-20. Bill Hansen, Gary Sutphln and Sam Dean were Grants Pass play erf, making the first team. Hansen garnered the top number of votes, 23. Sutphln had 22 and Dean 18. The other two on the mythical live are Oeorge Huber, Medlord, with 20 votes; and Ted Tenney, Ashland (19). TIE A tie in voles placed six players on the second team.

But Holy Cross is the only team to upset the dope so far in the tournament and its part of NIT "form" that there has to be at least one outsider to cause trouble. Until the Crusaders, the third ranked team, spilled second-seeded Western Kentucky 75-69 Thursday night, the favorites had won every game. And for the first time since tne field was expanded to 12 teams, all four seeded - teams reached the semi-finals. CHANCE On this basis, the fired-up Cru saders, urged on by the largest and noisiest rooting section of any of the tournament entries, figure to have a good chance of perpe trating another upset. It should be an interesting clasn oetween one of the best defensive teams in America, Duquesne, and one of Ihe strongest oiiensive aggregations, Holy Cross. The preliminary third place game between western Kentucky and Niagara may also have Us bright moments. The Kentucky team, tabbed by veteran Coach Ed Diddle as the best in his 34 year;, didn't like being beaten for the second time In 31 games. The Hill toppers were particularly peeved because they thought one bad call by a referee hurt them. Niagara, smart delenslve team like D'l- quesne, might also find a way to slow down the Kentucky "race horses." REPLAY Tonight's final also will be a re play of the 1952 quarter final game, when Duquesne beat Holy Cross 78-68 after a scoring , duel between Togo Palazzt and Dick Rlcketts. Rlcketts, a lreshmau then, and Palazzl, a sophomore. each scored 19 points that time. This year, as leaders of their teams, they're rivals for Tourna ment scoring honors and the most valuable player award. It Is the seventh NIT for Du quesne, which lost to Colorado in the 1940 filial and didn't get to the last round again until this year. It's only the second NIT for Holy Cross, which also has played in uuee National Collegiate. A. A, tournaments the past six years.

Eastern Oregon, league cham pion, dominated the first team with two players Larry Pryse and Ted Schadewltr. The other two were Don Porter Portland State, and Bob Frantz, Oregon college.

Penn State Next For Amazing Irish Quint By ED CORRIGAN NEW YORK W With the defend ing champion on the outside look. imr in, Notre Dame loomed today as the team to beat in the NCAA post-season basketball tournament. But the Irish, who stunned In. dlana, the 1953 winner, last night by the margin of a single point 6544 must go up against Penn State, another upset-minded outfit tonight in Iowa City in the quarter finals. Other quarter-final round games tonight pit Navy against La Salle at Philadelphia, Bradley against Oklahoma AsiM ' at Stillwater, Okla., and Southern California against Santa Clara at Corvallls, Ore. The winners will move on to the semi-finals and finals next weekend hi Kansas City, It was irenlc that Branch Mc cracken's Indiana team, the Big 10 champion, should make its exit by one point, for last year the Hoosiers won the title by the same margin over Kansas. It was a real shocker for McCracken has said he considered his 1954 quintet one of nis oest. NOT AWED But Notre Dame in general and daring Dick Rosenthal in particu lar, were not awed by the feared Broncos, Trojans Post Wins By MATT KRAMER CORVALL1S. Ore. I Two California entries, versatile Santa Clara and smooth-passing South ern California, clash here Satur day night for the Far West region al NCAA basketball- tournament title. They crushed two Rocky Moun tain hopefuls before a crowd of 8,819 Friday night, Southern Cal forhla romping over Idaho State, 73-59. and Santa Clara walloping Colorado AiM, 73-50. They meet Saturday night In the second game of a doubleheader, the winner to qualify for- the NCAA finals at Kansas City. In the first same. Idaho State. champion of the Rocky Mountain Conference, will meet the Colora do Aggies, champions of the Sky line Conference, for third place in the regionals. . STEAM Southern California; normally a team - that stresses defense, felt out Idahb State carefully, then turned - on offensive steam in the final period to win going away. Southern California had a big height advantage and never trailed. Santa Clara also showed s strong defense, throwing up a zone that forced Colorado AIM to shoot from far out. Few of the Aggies' shots went through. with this the winners coupled a fast break that had the Aggies reeling as early as the second quarter. The halftlme margin was 44-27 and later in the game the advantage was as high as 35 points. J POINTS Jim Young, (-3 Santa Clara for ward, led. the scoring with 20 points, taking the honors away from 6-9 Ken Sears, who usually leads the way. Seaxs had 11. The Broncos, their shooting percent age aided by numerous lay-Ins aft er fast breaks, made no less than 50 per cent of their shots. For Southern California, Roy Ir- vln, 6-5 center, sank hook shots re peatedly to total 25 points. His team made good on 37 per cent of Its field goal attempts. HEIGHT Santa Clara, averaging nearly 6-4, will carry a height advantage the game Saturdy night, but will be - slight. The Snta Clara record Is 21-6, ' Southern Califor nia's 19-12. Hie Southern California victory was one of teacher over pupil.

Rosenthal dropped in 25 points, made a free throw 15 seconds be fore the end that provided the eventual margin of victory and completely throttled all-America, Don Schlundt who -made but one field goal. Rosenthal collapsed and became ill on the sidelines with a little more than a minute to play. He summoned enough strength, how ever, to play the final seconds. It was a fine all-around performance ' by the courageous youngster. Penn State, for its part, upended Louisiana SUte 78-70 in the other half of the Iowa City doubleheader so Notre Dame will have its hands full. NO UPSETS . The other round of 16 games did not provide any startling form re versals. La Salle whipped North Carolina State 88-81 and Navy edsed Cornell 69-07 ir. Philadel phia; Oklahoma ASM slugged Rice 51-45 and Bradley turned back Col orado 76-64 at Stillwater, and ut Corvallls, Southern California dumped Idaho State 73-50 and Santa Clara halted Colorado A4:M 73-50. . . Penn State, an at-large entry like Notre Dame, must be an un derrated team. The Nittany Liou couldn't do much with LSU'a all America, Bob Pettlt, who poured 34 points through the hoop, but they did stop his mates. . Jesse Arnell was high man Ior Penn State with 24 points. Another all-America. Tom Go) a - of La Salle, had better luck than Pettlt. . He' scored 26 points and grabbed the same number of re bounds In his team's triumph over North Carolina State. The game was close until the last five min utes. THRILLER The other half of the Philadel phia twin bill was a real thriller and unhearalded Ken McCally turned out to be the big gun in Navy's victory over Cornell. He made only one basket but it was the winning one with three sec onds to go. Bradley's victory over Colorado was engineered to a great extent by Bob Carney,- who set a new NCAA record for foul shots, hit ting for 23 of them. He totaled 37 points for the game. Seattle's John ny O'Brien held the old foul rec ord 18. Another upset looked in the mak ing for three periods of the Okla homa A&M Rice contest. At one point in the third period, the South west Conference champions were ahead by 10 points. But the Aggies found the range in the final quart er and pulled away. BIG GUN Itoy Irvin was the big gun for Southern California, the Pacific Coast champion. He . scored 25 points, while the rest of the Tro janu were permitting Idaho State tew good shots. Colorado A&M held Ken Searj, Santa Clara's 6-9 high scorer, to 11 points. But where he left olf his mates picked up. Jim Young had 20 points and Dennie Stuehm pitched In 18.
