East Favored
To Capture
NBA Star Tilt
ROCHESTER. 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

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.

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.

Three teams were deadlocked
for top honors as the 16th annual
City Women's Bowling Tournament
passed the first turn Monday night
at Lucky Lanes, and the scores of
the opening night's alley action In
dicate a high-scoring tourney will
unfold this week.
Pelican Drive Inn. Klamath
Flower Shop and Mcdo - Land
Creamery all were tied for top
spot in the team event of the an
nual kegllng meet after they rolled
a 2561. The score posted by the
three teams is higher than last
year's city champion, Shoop and
Schulze, which posted a 2530.
City Secretary Marcy Hunt said
Tuesday morning that the tourna
ment officials are expecting even
higher scores to rattle the stand
ing before the tourney closes Sun
day evening". "The reason for
the higher scores," says the city
secretary, "Is that the handicap
maximum has been raised this
year."
Following the leading team's
scores came the Broiler with a
2511 and Wong's Cafe which rolled
a 2457 pin total.
Scotty Bray swept the Individ
ual laurels in the first night's keg
llng play as she rolled a high
game scratch of 231 pins, and both
scries honors of 519 for scratch and
591 for handicap. The high series
totals shot Bray well Into the lend
for the all-events crown. Included
In the high game of 231 were six
straight strikes.
Twenty more teams will take to
the Lucky Lanes alleys this Thurs
day and Friday nights in the final
sessions of team competition. Sun
day, from 1 to 9 p.m., the doubles
and singles champions will be de
clared In an all-day session.
Spectators are welcome accord
ing to Marcy Hunt, as the 1955-56
women's bowline champions are
named at Lucky Lanes. There is

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.
