Newspaper Page TextPAGE EIGHT HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON MONDAY, JANUARY 16, 1956 Screwy Play Needed To Stop USF's Dons By JIMMY BRF.SLIN NEA Staff Correspondent NEW YORK (NEA) Bill Rus sell and the San Francisco Dons provoked one of the best basket ball arguments In some time with the overpowering show they put on for Chicago and New York basket ball fans during the holiday tourna ments. The argument was not about how good Russell Is. The point was how the Job of beating the Dons could be approached. San Francisco, you see, sillies the opposition with a tremendous live-man defensive setup, n.. v. Jones, Harold Pony and company constantly picked up tne Dan-nano ler at mldcourt. From there on it was a scramble to control the ball against the Dons. Two defend era always seemed to get on the man with the ball, completely Dis rupting any smooth play-making In backcourt. On the surface, It seemed the Dons, as a unit, comprised the finest defensive team to show In many years. Jones acknowledged this, but of fered an explanation. "It Isn't us so much it's Rus sell," he said. "You see, we can afford to gamble leave one man to chase another because we know Russell Is back there and he can pick up anybody who gets in free. "That gives us an edge. We can really do a gang-up Job on the man with the ball outside. And we know we've got a backstop if any thing goes wrong." "I don't see how a college team can beat them," Dudey Moore of Duquesne said. "Defensively they ruin you. Russell Is too much for anybody around. It would take some screwy offense to handle them. The screwy offense business brought the most response. Oldtlnv era recalled how teams of the past coped with overpowering situations. The first of the modern big men, Mike Novak of Chicago Loyola, a 6-9 giant of the mld-30's, was stopped by a stunt pulled by Clair Bee of Long Island University. No vak was operating when goal-tending was legal and even a high set shot was hard-pressed to get past him. Bee had Danny Kaplowitz spend a week In the old Brooklyn Phar macy Gymnasium practicing bank ed set shots from the side. "Danny," recalls teammate Dol ly King, "must have taken 100 shots a day from one part of the court. He'd send the ball against the very edge of the backboard. It had a ton of English on It. It would hit then run right down the board Into the hoop. It was Impos sible to block." Kaplowltz, with this queer shot, had a hot night and LIU ruined Novak and Loyola. You have Doc Carlson's way oi handling Penn State's zone, some five years ago. The Pittsburgh coach, disdainful of the zone Penn Slate used In its crackcrbox gym, ordqred his club to advance to mid- court, men simply noia uie Dan. "It was 3-2 at the half," Has kell Cohen of the National Basket ball Association recalls. Tommy Tolan, the old Brooklyn St. John's captain, thought about his team's 1948 victory over a far superior City College of New York club. "We had no chance against their speed, so Dick McOuire and I put on a 40-mlnutc freeze at mid' court," Tolan recalls. "We shot only when the referee called a foul or we had an open hanger. Other wise, Dick and I kept it outside and gave it to nobody. It was bor ing to, watch and nobody scored much, but we won by three points." Rhode Island State's slyle that's what I'd use," Johnny Bach, the Fordham coach, said. "They had no height, so when they came Into New York for the first time in 1941, they left a man hanging In each corner. They'd get the ball. throw it like a football downcourt and then everybody would start running and shooting. "That introduced high scoring in to the modern game." V, "if "," jM m.::.t "it f J.

By OSCAR FRALIOY United 1'rcss Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP) There are indications today that Uie clock Is ticking a requiem for Stan Mu- slai's hopes of matching Honus Wagner's record eight national league batting championships. "The man" still should rank In 1956 as one of the reolly great hit ters. Even though he will be play ing his 15th season in Cardinal livery, and It has been 19 years since he broke into organized base ball, Musfal still is Uie league's top salaried star. But Uie signs ore that the six- time batting champion may not. even match Roger Homsby's seven titles. Not that, at 36, Stan is through or even shows signs pf being washed up. The odds are that with his eyes and reflexes he'll be able to bust .300 when he's pressing 45. Yet, os in football, It's those last 20 points like the final 20 yards which are the toughest, And there is another factor. In 1955, Stan was struck by more pitched balls than any other Na tional League hitter.. In Ihe years Dciorc, it was a roiitv when he was hit because they tiled to keep it outsmc and away from him. The obvious deduction is that now, while Uiey still have a vast respect for his hitting, Uiey are taking ad vantage of a slipping something to brush him back and"work on him." This is a man whose lifetime bat ting overage Is a phenomenal .342. He won batting titles with some lavish marks. Including a .376 sea son. But in the past three seasons his marks have dropped from .337 to .330 to .318. Sure, most any oilier hitter in the league aside from the two who bested him last season namely Richie Ashburn and Willie Mays would be glad to do so good. Yet for a telling Uiree-year span the old heights have eluded him and last year's average was his lowest since a near-bursting appendix cut him to .312 in 1947. Six years ago. Stan began look lug downhill toward the end of the line when he predicted "I've four or five good seasons left." It showed on his mind in 1953 when he whistled ot the graveyard by asserting that "age is not as Important as condition." And last spring he figured that "I should have three more good years." That, as of now, leaves two com ing up in which, he asserted,' "I'm rolling along, hoping for the best It was significant, one day last summer wnen lie was in the batting cage at Uie Polo Grounds. The man really laid Into a lashing line drive. "Ah.!' he gloated, "that's the way I used to hit 'em." He still may do it, too, If the Car dinals go through with their plan to play him in the outfield and use Wally Moon at first. But such plans, which would permit Stan to give more thought to his hitting, have been frustrated almost annu ally In Uie past. Meanwhile, you find yourself pulling for Uiose two he needs to tie Uie immortal Wagner. And feeling, deep down inside, that while he'll still be great, he won't quite make It. 2 Teams Idaho University Wins Ski Events SPOUT SPRINGS, Ore. in The University ot Idaho swept Sunday's jumping events lo carry off top honors in the Whitman Intercol legiate ski tournament.

U.S. Skier To Defend Top Title KITZBUEHEL, Austria UP) De spite the fact that she has been slow rounding into shape, Mrs. Andrea Mead Lawrence will be in top form to defend her two wom en's Olympic skiing championships when the games get underway Jan. 26. This came direct from her coach, Friedl Pfelffer, who added that he also was highly satisfied with the remainder of the team. "We've reached Just Uie proper buildup," he said Monday, "Be cause we're over here for the Olympics. By the time the games start, we'll be at our peak." For Mrs. Lawrence, a slim 23- year-old blonde with a neat pony tail, this will be her final Olym pic competition. She had a baby girl last October, her Uilrd In three years, and had to go slow getting back into competitive shape. Her record in the two big inter national competitions that served as previews for Uie Olympics here and in Switzerland, has not been impressive. She finished fifth in Uie slalom Sunday after getting no better than 47th in the down hill, Saturday. She suffered a spill in the latter race. Pfelffer. however, isn't dlscour. aged, and is satisfied Mrs. Law rence is coming along according to plan. His optimism was echoed by Nel son Bennett, manager of the men's team. ' "I'm satisfied with the perform' ance of the members of our team to date," he said. He singled out for special praise Bud Werner of Steamboat Springs, Colo., who got second in the down hill here and finished third in the combined. LOS ANGELES W The sixth annual Pro Bowl football game goes into the books as a thrilling 31-30 victory for Uie East. But arguments continued to rage Mon day in the wake an official's decision which may have cost the west two winning points. The dispute centered on field judge Joe Gonzales and the call he' made In the final seconds of this sixth annual postseason all star duel between top talent from the National Football League, The situation: The West, trailing 31-30, tried a 50-yard field goal by Bert Relchl "char of the Baltimore Colts. It was obviously short of Its goal and Joe (Scooter) Scudero of the Washington Redskins took the catch. Enter the controversy. Did Scudero catch Uie ball on the two-yard mark, as most ob servers believe, and then almost casually take a step or two back and ground the boll in the end zone? Or did he catch it on the goal line, or perhaps be forced back into the end zone by the momen tum of the ball? Whatever the case, the field judge ruled it an automatic touch- back and tne Dau was piacea on Tippy Dye Picks UCLA As Top PCC Team By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The University of California at Los Angeles, in the opinion of Washington Coach Tippy Dye, is the pick of Pacific Coast Confer. ence basketball teams and may wind up as Uie national champion. After watching the Bruins beat Washington State twice over the weekend. Dye, whose Huskies have been tagged as top PCC pennant contenders, predicted the Uclans will win the conference crown and beot Son Froncisco, the defending NCAA champion, in the spring playoffs.

US Hockey Star Still In Game By UNITED PRESS Lome (Gump) Worsley. New York's harried goalie, staved off a forced "rest" by Coach Phil Watson today ' because of a fine effort Sunday night against the Chicago Black Hawks, the Rang ers' "Jinx" team in Uie National Hockey League. Watson, fearing Worsley was "getting a little shell shocked," hod plonned to bring up Johnny Bower from the Providence Reds of the Amerlcon League in order to give Worsley a "rest." Worsley, who has been one of the shining stars in New York's rejuvenation this season, hung up his fourth shutout, 2-0, against the Hawks and more than likely earned a reprieve. Pete Conacher and Dave Creighton scored the goals as New York broke a three game losing-streak with Chicago. Earl (Dutch) Relbel scored two third-period goals to enable the redhot Detroit Red Wings to down the league-leading Montreal Cana diens, 2-0. The win moved Detroit to within 10 points of the Cana diens, whose lead over the Rang ers now stands at seven points. The Toronto Maple Leafs re gained full possession of fourth place by defeating the last - place Boston Bruins. 4-1, in Sunday's otner gome. Rudy Migoy, Dick Duff, Tod Sloan and Ron Stewart scored for Uie Leafs, while Don McKenney scored Boston's lone goal. Naulls 24 Saturday night as UCLA romped to a 95-70 victory over Washington State. Taft and Naulls also were heavy scorers in Fri day night's 86-72 victory over WSC. UCLA's sweep at PuUman made it four straight in conference ploy for Uie Bruin's and left them at the top of the standings. Stanford took two from Idaho, winning 77-60 Friday and 74-62 Sat urday, and settled in a second place tie with Southern California both with 3-1 records. The Trojans beat Oregon State twice, 58-47 and B4-53. California and Oregon di vided a pair, the Ducks winning 63-62 Friday and losing 67-65 Sat urday. UCLA draws a bye next weekend while Washington, idle Friday and Saturday, returns to action as host to Washington State. Oregon State entertains Stanford and Oregon visits Idaho. While outclassed by a more ex perienced quintet, Washington State's young Cougars gave a good account of themselves in the finale at Pullman Saturday. The lead changed 12 times in the first half. UCLA pulled away to a 46-41 lead at the Intermission and the Cou gars never caught up. At Eugene, Oregon blew a 12- point lead to give California a split in the series. The Golden Bears pulled up to a 65-65 tie with only seconds remaining. Larry Friend grabbed a loose ball and dunked it and time ran out before the Ducks could try to retaliate. Ore gon center Max Anderson took scoring honors with 26 points. Southern California and Oregon State played on even terms for the first half at Los Angeles. The Trojans moved in front with eight minutes of the half remaining, led 36-31 at the intermission, and grad ually widened the gap in the sec ond period. Stanford scored 14 points In the last three minutes to crush Idaho. The Indians led 60-58 when they opened their final scoring splurge to make it two straight over the Vandals. Idaho's Jack Mitchell was top scorer with 28 points. 3H' Bond hit 25 for Stanford. the East 20 a moment before the game ended. Coach Sid Oillman of the West, as did some of his players right on , Uie spot, argued that the East should have been charged with an automatic safety and Uie West given 2 points. ' ' Mike Wilson, superintendent ot oiuciais of tne National League, issued this brief announcement: "On the last play Uie field Judge salri the ball went through the plane (goal line) of Uie end zone." The ruling meant that Scudero caught the ball In the end zone. Gillman added that movies of the game would show otherwise. So the score stands, and' Ollie Matson, the fantastic ball carrier of the East, was the outstanding player of the game. S The 210-pound powerhouse of Uie Chicago Cardinals returned the second half kickoff 91 yards for a touchdown, he ran 15 yards over I most of the West team, and his ; 50-yard gallop on a punt return . set the stage for a third touch down.

Middlecoff walked off with first prize of $25,000 and set a new tourney record Sunday with his three-round score of 202 as he used an old-fashioned hickory shaft put ter in "iioaung" long putts across the rain flooded greens. Going into the last round in a first place deadlock with crewcut Bob Rosburg of San Francisco, Middlecoff started slow over the water-logged course and made the turn in only one under par.

Johnson,, heavier and stronger than Sullivan, was impressive in his last bout on Nov. 28, when he knocked out Billy McNeece in Uie eighth round. Earlier last year, McNeece had held him to a draw. Greek Tony was less fortunate in his other two bouts of 1955. He was stopped in the fifth round, by Padding Young and outpointed by Willie Pastrano of New Or leans. Twenty-five-year old Tony's 23-6-8 record includes eight kayoes. He was stopped only by Young. Sullivan is two years younger than Johnson but he has beep fighting longer and more often. He is faster than Tony and a smarter boxer. He looked good on Jan. 4 at Cleveland, where he outpointed the promising Jackie King. But in 1955, English Johnny won four bouts and lost four. There are two kayoes against his record of 63-17-3, including 34 knockouts.
