TUESDAY. DECEMBER 27, 1955 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH PALLS. OREGON PAGE NINE loons 5iil! Russell Leads SF Hoop Win NEW YOItK (F New York bas- ketball Inns finally got their first look at the marvelous San Fran cisco Dons with their All America center Bill Russell at Madison Square Garden last nignt. Based on what they observed. It will take a great team on a hot night to kcap the unbeaten Dons from walking oil with the Holiday Festival championship. The Dons, together with Holy Cross. UCLA and Duquesne, won their way into the semifinal round Thtv scoied a convincing 19-62 tri umph over La Salle, the team they defeated in the NCAA finals last year. And, according to their coach and Dudcy Moore, coach of the defending champion Duquesne, the Dons were far from their best. In the other games. Holy Cross whipped Syracuse 81-14 to earn the right to meet San Francisco in the first game of tomorrow night's semifinal round. UCLA, conquerors of St. John s, 93-Sd, and Duquesne, 13-10 overtime winners over Ford' hciin, will clR.sh in the second half of the twin bill. CONSOLATION The, losers will meet in a con solation round in the afternoon with Syracuse opposing La Salle and St. John s playing Forduam San Francisco was hard-pressed to win despite its final 11-point bulge. As late as the fourth minute of the second half, they were trail ins 45-42 and it took an uninter rupted nine-point spree, seven of them contributed by second-stringer Mike Preaseau, to assure the Dons of their hard-earned victory. It was San Francisco's eighth straight victory of the year and J4th in a row over a two-year span. The record is 39 set by Long Island University and equalled by Seten Hall. Russell, the 6-10 siringbean. put on a spectacular show. He scored 26 points on 11 baskets and (our free throws and snared 22 ' re bounds to lead all the others in both departments. SPECTACULAR It was on defense, however, that he gave the afternoon crowd of 12.143 its biggest thrills. Time after time, he drew "oohs" from the crowd with his spectacular "saves of seemingly sure two pointers by simply reaching up and tapping aside balls headed for La Salle hoop. "The team as a whole was very tense." explained Coach Phil Wool- pert after the game, "and Russell was tne tensest oi mem an. i mini, it is because it's their first visit to New York and Madison Square Garden. The fans should get a. better in siclit Into the ability of Russell when he clashes with Tommy Heinsohn. Holy Cross' fc-7 center. tomorrow. Heinsohn scored 3C points in his team's victory over Syracuse. High-scoring honors for the day, however, went to Sihugo Green, brilliant 6-2 center of Duquesne. who registered 39 points, including his team's last nine, to snatch the Dukes from almost certain defeat. Tt was his Jump shot in the final two seconds that tied the score at 62-62 and forced the game into nvertlmc. The Dukes' ace men threw all seven points for his team to almost singlehandedly defeat Fordham. , MIAMI. Fla.

Jess Hill of Southern California, head coach of the West squad, is the authority for the statement. He made it with full knowledge that the man who devised the plan is on his staff in an advisory ca pacity. "There are too many good backs on that East team." Hill said. "We can't concentrate on Cassady and let the rest ol them have their own way." Stanford's Chuck Taylor is the man who clamped the hobbles on Hoppy. after advertising In ad vance that he'd do it. Taylor's In dians upset Cassady's Ohio State team, 6-0, one of the two losses suffered by the Big Ten cham pions last fall. Stanford stacked its defense and held Cassady to 31 yards in Its shutout triumph. "It really worked for Chuck." Hill grinned, "But Ohio State didn't have a Don Schaefer at full back nor a Gerry Reichon at quarter. The F.ast has. along with a lot of other good boys whom we can't ignore in favor of stop ping Cassady." Woody Hayes of Ohio State, the East coach, has indicated that along with Cassady he intends to depend Tin Notre Dame's Schaefer and Iowa's Reichow. Hill's West squad, which he has described as "pinck-cheeked and whiskerless." doesn't have a real "name" player on It. Most of the college standouts in the area last fall were juniors and thus auto matically out of the Shrine game. But Hill has indicated he's baD py with his crew, which certainly will be rated as underdogs in the 31st annual charity contsst at Ke zar Stadium on Saturday. "We'll be under a lot less pres sure than the East." he said, "und these kids of mine are hungry enough to do a great job. They're a representative group which will give the East a good gtriiggK" Bill Tarr, 190-pound Stanford fullback, has been shifted to right half to make room lor Earl Earthquake I Lunsford. l;)5-pmmcl-er from Oklahoma A&M, and Hen ry Moore of Arkansas, who scales the same.

In the midst of a coast-to-coast tour that wi'l test their c'aim to creatress. led the United Pres college bas ketball ratines today with the high est point-total ever amassed by anv team. Thirty-three of the 35 leading roacnes who make uo the United Press rating board voted San Fran cisco No. 1 this week, and the two other coaches on the panel picKea me Dons second. That gave Coach Phil Woolpert's men 348 out of a possible 350 point. No team ever has been such a solid choice of the Board of Coaches since the united Press ratings were inaugur ated in 1950. Dayton, undefeated In Its first eight games, received the two oUier first-place votes and Jumped up to second place, while North Carolina State retained the No. 3 rating. Louisville and Illinois, tied for eighth place, were this week's newcomers among the top 10 teams. ON TOP San Francisco launched a- 6.000 mile tour last week by beating Wichita and Loyola of New Orlean to run its two season running streak to 33 games. The Dons, who were the coaches' pre-season best bet to win the national champion ship for the second year in a row, now have topped the ratings four straight weeks. San Francisco stretched Its vic tory streak to 34 Monday by de feating LaSalle in the opening rouncr of the Holiday Festival Tour nament at New York, 78-62. Last week's start of the heavy holiday contention claimed Utah, Brigham Young and Kentucky among its leading victims. More shuffling of the ratings Is expect ed after the tournament strife reaches its peak this week. North Carolina and Iowa advanced-even though they were Idle last week. North Carolina (8-0) moved up four notches to fourth and Iowa (3-1) jumped one place to fifth. Utah, second last week, dropped all the way to sixth after losing twice in the Kentuckv In vitation Tournament. Holy Cross held the No. 7 ranking. Louisville. and Illinois, made big advances to snare eighth place, and Mar quette retained 10th. DROPS OUT Brigham Young (fifth last week) and Kentucky ninth last week) both dropped out of the top 10, Coach Adolph Rupp's Wildcats thus found themselves out of the top 10 group for the first time in the six-season history of the United Press ratings. The voting was so concentrated this way that San Francisco, Day ton and North Carolina Stale divid ed nil the second-place votes and all but 11 of the third-place votes. As a result. Dayton received an unusually high second-place total of 300 points and N.C. State had 269.

Each of the three ring officials gave 22-year-old Bahama all 10 rounds over Paolo Melis of Mon treal, former welterweight cham pion of Italy, for his lfith straight victory. In his first New York main event, Yama s rapid-fit e hooking combinations and accurate upper cuts made the bout so lopsided that it became dull at times. Bahama was lavored at 2-1 al thoueh he fought as a substitute for Chico Vejar of Stamford. Conn, who withdrew from the match last week because of an alleged back strain. Promoter Tex Sullivan said to day, "Vejar must fulfill hia con tract to fight at St. Nick's before he can fight anywhere else. I want him to meet Bahama on Jan. 30 or Feb. 0." Bahama's manager.

There's good news in the Rose Bowl camp of the Michigan Slate Spartans to day. Halfback Clarence Peaks is "100 per cent" ready physically for the Jan. 2 bout with the UCLA Bruins. Sports fans are better acquainted with the convalescing progress of the Bruins' Injured tailback Ronnie Knox than with the comeback of Peaks, but the latter could be the more important fac'or. The 108-pound Michigan Slate back has proved a powerful run ner, good blocker, occasional pass receiver, strong defenscman and a specialist on the quick kick and all its variations. "In top physical shape, he's the best all-around man in our back field." said Sonny Grandelius, who coachrs the backs. Peaks was leading ground gainer for the Spartans last season and again this year before he wrecked a knee and turned an ankle In the Ocl. 15 victory over None Dninr. He missed one gam, wss in for only a single piny In another and neer was in top form for the rest.
