WEAKNESS This Is a coach who rates Cola as "a player without a weakness." but Wooden points out the fact that "you have to go for the height." "Russell is that big guy." Wood en explained. "As such, he Is more demoralizing from a defensive point of view. He'll block as many shots as he makes. Then, too, of fensively the big man will automa tically get you so many points that you can afford to gamble both on offense and defense." Individually, even Russell's own coach, Phil Woolpert of San Fran cisco, admits that "there is no basis of comparison." "Gola Is as fine an all-around player as you'll ever find," said the thin man from the Coast. "But I do have to say that Ihe one place I would give Russell an edge is In his ability to dominate one given game as an individual. He utilizes his height to advantage and takes charge defensively." FAVORS RUSSELL It seems apparent, as you talk to the coaches, that Gola as a col legian was a much more rounded layer than Russell. But that three Inch helgbt advantage which Rus sell enjoys makes up for a lot of the deficiencies. "Russell hasn't a good outside shot and doesn't 4tiave Gola's re flexes," asserted Ken . Nortin of Manhattan. "But you can't knock the fact that he won the NCAA for San Francisco last 'year. Rus sell simply was too big for the rest of them, and remember they beat Gola and La Salle in the finals." Which brings you back to the fact that middleweight champion Bobo Olson was flattened by light heavyweight champion Archie Moore, who in turn was fractured by heavyweight champion Rocky Marclano, watch charm guards don't make the grade in pro foot ball, and seven foot, two inch Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain as a freshman phenom already is be ing hailed as the college player of the future.

For example: In a baseball game between Lexington and Kearney in a eb raska league. Lexington won by forfeit, all because of a GcVman shephnrd dog. A Kearney pitcher singled in the fifth inning. The manager sent out the pitcher's jacket, In the teeth of the man ager's dog. The Lexington players objected. There was an argument and the Kearney manager was ordered off the field. He wouldn't go and the game was forfeited. Maybe It proves that man is dog's best friend. In Sturgeon Bay, Wis., 11-year-old Russ Demmin overruled an umpire. Russ was catching in a Little League game. A runner broke for home. The umpire called him out, and the game appeared over. But the runner argued. What's more, Russ backed him up. Russ admitted he missed the tag. So the umpire called the runner safe, and Russ's team eventually lost the game. In Milwaukee, Mrs. Mary Thompson explained how she be came Interested in baseball at 101. "The kids got me interested last year." she said.

Game time is slated for 8:15. Tile preliminary contest, pitting Ray Coley's KUHS Junior varsity against Malln of the county B league, will open at 0:45. Tonight's scrap with the Demo crats of the Portland Intcrscholas tic League will bring before local cage fans one of the leading prep powers In the state as John Nee ley's Jeff quintet goes after vic tory number six. The Demos are one of two undefeated Portland teams. Last night at Medford. Franklin lost a 58-53 decision to the Tornadoes, leaving Jeff and Washington wllh the only untarn ished records. Last year, the first time Klam ath and Jefferson bad tangled in regular season play, the two clubs split. The Portlandera won the first fray, then the Whltblrds bounced back to gain a draw with a second night triumph. In 1950-51 Jefferson won the state champion ship by turning back the Pelicans in the final game at Eugene. A name familiar with the 1950-51 meeting between the two schools will be ringing again as the Demo crats and Pels move into play to night and Friday night on the Klamath maples. When KU. and Jeff met for the state title. Max Anderson was the spearhead of ihe Portland school's attack, this year, Jerry Anderson, the ".kid brother" of Max. will be spark- , lng the torrid Demo attack. Jerry Anderson Is slated to open at center for Neeley'a crew, and so far this year 'he has been a demon on the backboards and Jeff's leading scorer. Against Beaverton In the last outing, the 6-4 pivotman bucketed 36 points as the Democrats won 75-72, 'Slated to open against the Peli cans with Anderson are Chuck Rask and Bob Jacobs at guard and Art Roth and Bob Berreman . at the two forward spots. Rask, the team's veteran and playmaker. Is Jeff's number two scoring threat and is the "driver" of their club. Roth is the second tallest eager in the Jefferson starting lineup at 6-3. Others who will probably be used quite a bit by Neeley Include six foot-six Inch Keith Abbott, 6-2 Gary Mellema and guard Len Mc Cracken. For Peterson's Pelicans, who will be seeking to knock the Demos irom the perfect list, Glenn Moore will open at center, while OriiM Perkins and Earle Tichenor win' carry the load at the forward posts. Donn Daucher and Butch Kimpton are down for starting guard assignments. The Klamath coach indicated he might also be using Cliff Sutht"nd, Mike Runge, Dave Pepple, Jerry Burke, Ken Douglas, Lee McGIU and Bill Hamblin. Jefferson's five straight victories have been taken from such prep powers as Beaverton. Central Catholic, Gresham, Oregon ICty and Hudson Bay of Vancouver, Washington. Klamath's 3-1 mark is the tally after a double win over Redding last week and a split with Reno in the season openers.
