N.Y. (IT) The East is favored to pack away its fourth straight victory over the West Tuesday night In the sixth annual mid-season National Bas ketball Assn. All-Star game. A better balance in scoring and more over all speed, combined with two ball-handling magicians Bob Cousy of Boston and Dick McOulre of New York give the East the edge under Coach George Scnesky of Philadelphia. It was a similar makeup that gave the Easterners a 100-91 victory at New York last year. The West, directed by Fort Wayne Coach Charley Eckman, is no slouch, however. Not with Bob Pettit of St. Louis, the only unani mous All-Star choice and the cur rent scoring and rebound leader; Clyde Lovellette of Minneapolis; George Yardley and Larry Foust of Fort Wayne and Maurice Stokes of Rochester, the lone rook ie on either team. Three of the Eastern sharpshoot ers warmed up Monday night as Philadelphia walloped Boston for the second night In a row, 120-104, and moved to a 3"2-game lead over the Celtics In the Eastern Division. Johnston totaled 29 and Arlzln hit for 25 to pace the Warriors while MacAuley was tops with 31. Iowa State Tops Colorado; Iowa Quintet By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS It looks as If little Gary Thomp son Is Iowa State's key to knock ing off defending champion Colo rado In the Big Seven basketball race, which has developed Into a real dogfight overnight. Thompson, a 5-10 Junior guard, sank four straight free throws to beat Colorado 55-52 in the final minute of the semifinals In the league tournament at Kansas City last Christmastime. The Cyclones went on to win the tourney. Thompson gave the Butts a fit again last night, getting off a 20- foot Jump shot at the final gun to give Iowa State a 70-68 decision. It was Colorado's llrst Big Seven defeat and left the Bulls in a three way lie tor the lead with Idle Kan sas and Kansas Stntc at 3-1. Iowa Stale Is fourth at 2-2. Elsewhere, Iowa overcame a nine-point deficit in the last seven minutes and deteated Purdue 67-63 to strengthen a hold on second place In the Big Ten. Ohio Stale, with All America Robin Freeman popping In 30 points, walloped Northwestern 91-42 In another Big Ten game, while Houston rapped Tulsa 71-62 with an 11 point overtime period in a Missouri Valley Conference con test. That wns the only major action last night on a lean schedule. Colorado had the game In con trol unlil midway through the sec ond half. Then Iowa state edited ahead 53-52 and the lead was tossed back and forth until Thomp son lied It at 68-all with a little less than two minutes left. The Cyclones then went Into a stall, feeding the ball to Thompson for the clincher. FAB-SPRAY Fabric Spray AT GOELLER'S 522 Main Unchanged SF Dons, Dayton Head AP By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS It's unbeaten San Francisco and Dayton atop the list of the na tion's top 10 college basketball teams, but after those two giants it's every man for himself. San Francisco's Dons, although idle for more than a week because of midterm examalnations, still are ranked No. 1 by the experts in this week's Associated Press poll. The Dons gathered 81 of a possible 131 first-place votes and got 1,200 points. Dayton, adding two more vic tories for a 14-0 record although given a scare in both, is a solid No. 2, polling 13 first and totaling 1,093 points on a basis of 10 for first, 9 for second, etc. The other eight teams In the top 10 remained the same, but there was quite a shakeup in posi tions. Kentucky, moving up from fourth to third, swapped pl-ces with North Carolina State. Both are two-time losers and Kentucky had Just a two-point edge on the Wolfpack In the voting. Vandcrbllt fell from fifth to seventh. In an unexplainable shift el favor, and barely held that spot from North Carolina. The Tarheels, who dumped N.C. State last week, were Just two points behind Vandy. Once-beaten Illinois edged up from sixth to fifth, followed by Temple, which Jumped from eighth after running Its mark to 11-0. Louisville, a top-10 newcomer last week, rose from 10th to ninth as Duke tumbled to No. 10 from seventh. The leaders, with first-place voles In parentheses: 1. San Francisco (81) 1,209 3.

" K. SOC '5' Here For OC Fray One of the hottest Oregon Col legiate Conference basketball rev alues on record will take on more fuel tonight at the Mile High Camp us as the Oregon Technical Insti tute Owls play host to the South ern Oregon College Red Raiders in the first game of a home-and-home conference series. Game time for the OTI gym en counter is 8 o'clock. The prelimi nary game pitting the Jayvee clubs will open at 6:30. Following tonight's home encounter, coach Wally Palmberg's Owls will complete their mid-week action Wednesday night at Ash land when the Raiders will take on the roll as home club. Since 1950. the Owls and Red Raiders from Ashland have col lided on 20 occasions, with the nod leavning heavily towards the Ash landers, 15-5. In wrapping up 15 wins against the five losses. South ern Oregon has always displayed a talented cage crew, and this year's club is not exception. Led by all-conference Lloyd Hoffine, a high scoring forward, Southern Oregon is considered a top competitor for the conference crown this year. In the past Friday-Saturday play, Southern Ore gon pressed the favored Portland Slate College club for a split and in doing so handed the Vikings their first losses of the OCC season. The split with PSC last weekend gave the SOC hoopsters a confer ence mark of 3-3, while their over all season's basketball play has brought them an 8-win, 6-loss record. Oregon Tech Is still looking for its fiist conference victory, and to night will be seeking to snap a four-game losing streak. In their 13 games to date, Tech has won four and lost nine. In their last home game some six weeks ago Tech lost to a highly-regarded Seattle Pacific College quintet. For the first SOC-OTT clash of the year, Palmberg will probably start John McCutcheon, 6-3 sopho more at center, flanked by John ny Foster and Bob Frost, 6-3 and 6-2 freshmen, at forward. Bobby Whitman and Ted Fischer will probably open at the guard spots, although Jerry Fasteen, Richie Perkins or Paul Hatcher might possibly draw a starter's berth against the Raiders.
