In the last OTI-SOC basketball outing on the Tech floor, local tuns witnessed a combination football-basketball contest, which re sulted In four players being ejected for too much rough "stuff."

Coach By SCOTT BA1LLIE L'nlted Press Sports Writer SAN FRANCISCO (OP) Coach Pete Newell of California thinks that Oregon Slate's basketball team will pull out or Its unac customed spin pretty soon. "Slats Gill has the makings of another strong club." Newell said at yesterday's session of the Nor thern California Basketball Writers Association. "He could win a couple of more games this season and cause some eyebrow raising around the circuit." Newell's quintet won two from OSC last weekend which left Gill's defending Pacific Coast Con ference champions staggering with a 2-8 PCC mark and 5-15 for the season. But neither win was a pushover, especially the Friday night game which was settled in overtime. 65-63. SOPH TEAM "Oregon state is a good sopho more team and it will be a solid outfit when the boys stop making mistakes," Newell said. "Look out for Dave Gainbee at forward. He is the kind of a guy you have to start guarding as soon as his shoes are on." Coach Van Sweet of College of the Pacific flirted with the idea of emulating California's now famous freeze when he pits his boys against USF tonight In Stockton. 'If I can win with a stall I'll try It," Sweet said. "But we'll have to be at our hottest and USF at Its coldest if we hope to upset em. The game was shunted from the COP gym to the Stockton Auditor ium which can handle about 3.500 spectators. Thus COP'S home floor advantage was nullified. 'We've only played about an hour longer In the auditorium than USF has." Sweet asserted. "CRUCIAL" Howie Dallmar of Stanford, keeping mum on his Indians' chances against first place UCLA In this weekend s "crucial," con fined himself to discussing the Bruins-Washington game which he saw in Los Angeles while the Tribe was Idle. UCLA won both games. "Bruno Boln of Washington did a good Job Saturday after recover ing from stomach cramps," said handsome Howie. "But Washing ton was badly hurt in the second game when Jim Coshow fouled out." Phil Woolpert, USF's outspoken coach, hailed guard K. C. (Casey) Jones as outranking Duqucsne's Sihugo Green for All America honors. "Green plays with a club which in effect merely is & supporting cast," Woolpert said. "But with USF, nearly everybody Is on the same level." HEARTENED Bob Fcerlck of Santa Clara, heartened by a 79-56 victory over Pepperdlne, said he was looking for a close game when the Broncos meet San Jose State tonight In their neighborhood fracas. "What's more, I think we'll do okay," Fcerlck said. Dribbles: Jim Weaver, St Mary's "People keep asking me i what happened to Bill Sanchez this season and all I can tell them is he is doing as well as ever. What's wrong with a 15-polnt per game average?" .... Woolpert "Marv Branstrom of San Jose will be one of the Coast's best centers In a couple of years..." Newell "We play Idaho In Si beria this weekend and if we do all right, might make things a little Interesting for the PCC leaders in later games...." 9n &hk$ By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BASEBALL BROOKLYN Duke Snider, the Brooklyn Dodgers slugging center- fielder, signed his 1956 contract for an estimated $42,000.

Pierce says California can do as fin; a Job in staging the 1960 Winter Olympics at Squaw Valley as Italy did in this year's game at Cortina. And California can do it for less money. Peirce declared Monday on his return from Cortina. The finance director, who went as a personal representative 01 Gov. Goodwin S. Knight to nail down the 1960 games for the Sierra ski resort, also reminded the state It must put up 4 million dollars by next month or else. . . If the Legislature, meeting in March, fails to vote the sum, he said, the games will automatically go to Innsbruck, Austria. The International Olympics Committee in Cortina deferred a final report on Squaw Valley's plans until April 3 after the Leg islature adjourns. The 1955 Legislature voted 1 million dollars for the games. Peirce and Knight have said they will ask the 1956 session to add the 4 million which engineers estimate will be needed to ready the site.
