NCAA Tourney Bids
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ,

major college tournament seats
today while Southern Methodist
has upset the dope by gaining the
inside track in a bid for a fourth
consecutive Southwest Conference

tougher to figure by upsetting

Verdict Won
By Pastrano
LONDON (UP) Willie Pas-fa-ano's
second fight in England
wasn t half as impressive as his
first; but the third-ranked heavy
weight from New Orleans isn't
turning his back on the British
Isles.
Pastrano scored an unpopular
10-round decision over Brian Lon
don Tuesday night before an esti
mated 10,000 fans, who booed ref
eree Bill Williams' verdict and
tossed empty beer cans and coins
Into the ring at Harringay Arena.
The Louisiana boxer had beaten
Dick Richardson of Wales in the
ame ring only four months ago,
but London turned out to be a
much tougher opponent. The son
of former British heavyweight
champion Jack London traded
blows with Pastrano throughout
the bout and his followers felt he
deserved at least a draw.
- London suffered the first knock
down of his career ia the fifth
round when Pastrano landed a
hard right to the body. However,
the referee called it a low blow
end stopped the fight to warn
Pastrano to "keep 'em up."
It was the second time Williams
had halted the action to admonish
Pastrano about using unfair tac
tics. In the fourth round, he cau
tioned the Yank to "keep your
head up" and to "stop butting,

Kansas State gained its fourth
Big Eight title and NCAA berth
by whipping Oklahoma 68-51. The
Wildcats, ranked No. 1 in the As
sociated Press poll, now have
won 10 in a row for a 19-1 record.
San Francisco, No. 4, didn't
have it so easy while building a
22-1 record with a 49-47 decision
over St. Mary's (Calif.) that
clinched the West Coast Athletic
Conference championship and
handed the Dons a ticket to their
fourth consecutive NCAA shindig,
St. Bonaventure and St. John's
(N.Y.). both headed to the Nation
al Invitation Tournament, padded
their records, while Holy Cross
passed over thus far by selection
committees, upset NCAA-bound
Connecticut 92-89 in double over
time. New Orleans Loyola, named
to the NCAA field yesterday,
whipped Memphis State 68-55.
S.MU. crossed off as a South
west power with the graduation
of big Jim Drebs, took the un
disputed lead with an expected 89-
73 victory over Texas while Texas
A&M was upsetting Texas Tech
79-63. SMU, now 8-4, hit 22 of 39
field goal attempts while building
a 50-40 lead at the half. Rick
Herrscher led the Mustangs with
28 points.
Texas Tech, outscored 17-3 in
the last 7:44 after blowing a 13
point lead on its home court,
now is 7-5 and tied for second
with Rice and Arkansas. All four
contenders have two games left.
Kansas State. NCAA runner-up
in 1951, managed only a 30-28 lead
aeainst Oklahoma's man-to-man
defense at the half. But the Wild
cats hustled 16 points ahead early
in the second half as Roy De
Witz supplemented his usual fine
defensing with three quick field
goals. Bob Boozer ana Jack rarr
again supplied il-states scoring
punch, however, with Boozer
counting 23.
A disputed Jield goal helped ban
Francisco, which finished third in
the NCAA championships last
year after taking the title in 1955-
56. St. Mary's lea 26-23 at tne
half and was still in business un
til Gene Brown's field goal
sent the Dons ahead to stay late
in the game. Home fans stormed
the floor and halted play while
arguing with officials that Brown
had stepped out of bounds before
getting off the shot. It was all for
nothing.

Antonelli, whose best pitching
records were made in even-numbered
years, excepts to return to
form in a big way wis season ior
San Francisco.
The 27-year-old southpaw had a
dazzling 2.29 earned run average
in 1954, his first year witn tne
club. He led the Giants to a
World Series sweep of the Cleve
land Indians and finished with a
21-7 mark, tops in the National
League.
He dropped to 14-16 in 1955, 20
13 in 1956 and had his poorest sea
son last year, 12-18.
"I'm ready to hit it good again,"
ha says. "I don't want to sound
like I'm making excuses or alibing
but I had lousy luck last season."
Antonelli reported to spring
training last season after a long
siege of flu and was training hard
hefore he fully recovered.
"Then I hurt my shoulder in one
of the first practice games," he
said.
After he returned to form, he
slipped and fell down the stairs
at his home.
It wasn't until the last month
of the season that the pains went
away," he said.
Antonelli will become a 10-year
man in a few months. Manager
Bill Rigney expects him again
to be the ace of the Giants' staff.
John thinks the move to the Pa
cific Coast will help the club's
morale.
The County B League basketball
tournament roars into action at
1:30 p.m., Thursday, February 26,
on the Oregon Tech maplewood in
what promises to be a grana tree
for all in which league standings
will mean very little.
From a statistical standpoint the
battle for the title should be be
tween Merrill and Malin, however,
statistics do not win ball games.
Any one of the entrants could
very well upset the dope cart and
go all the way. Each of the first
five ball clubs has won and lost
against each other.

day's activity:
Thursday
1:30 Bly vs. Paisley
3:30 Merrill vs. Gilchrist
7:30 Chiloquin vs. Sacred Heart
9:30 Malin vs. Bonanza
The Malm-Bonanza game will
undoubtedly prove to be the tough

competition against the fifth place

Archie's Losing Weight
Secret Said Leaking Out
LOS ANGELES W Archie
Moore, so good at losing weight
that he could probably become a
jockey by tomorrow afternoon,
may have spilled a little of his
deepest secret the famous
"Australian Diet" formula.
And, after looking it over, you
get the idea that spilling it is one
of the smartest moves you couia
make.
Al Santoro, onetime sports ed
itor of the Los Angeles Examiner,
was looking through some Mexico
City newspapers when he came
cross what purported to be an
interview involving Archie and
the home economics editor of Ova-
eiones.
The editor said Archie divulged
the manner In which he shed 2V4
pounds in just 48 hours before his
World light neavyweignt cnampi-
onship fight with Tony Anthony
here last year. Archie, of course,
had already lost enough weight
to sink an average air era it car
rier, so getting rid of 21 pounds
was about as tough as picking a
thread of roast beef out of h i s
teeth. Anyway, the home econom
ics editor said he told it this way:
During the first 24 hours, he
had a breakfast of two boiled
eggs, two slices of toast and a
cup of tea. Hardly a revolution
ary repast.
For lunch he started with fresh
fruit. Nothing stunning there
either.
But he followed this with a full
course dinner, consisting of 12 raw
eggs swished around in eight
ounces of orange juice. This, by
any standard of human ingestion,
is different, if only by its sheer
bulk.
Next day, he cut down at break
fast to one boiled egg and o n e
Strickland Takes
Frosh Point Lead
EUGENE Iff! Denny Strickland
of Bremerton, Wash., is the new
top scorer on the University of
Oregon Frosh basketball team
Strickland Monday night scored
22 points against Grays Harbor
Junior College to run his total to
162 for the season.
His Monday night total enables
him to surpass Butch Kimpton of
Klamath Falls, who has scored 154
points for the Frosh,
Idaho Star
Top Scorer
LOS ANGELES ifl Although
he had an off night against Cali
fornia. Gary Simmons of Idaho
is still running ahead in what
looks like a four-way race for the
individual scoring title in the Pa
cific Coast Conference.
Simmons, small for a collegiate
basketball player at 5-11, has been
piling up points at an average of
22.5 per game. He's scored more
than a third of them from the
free throw line.
His nearest rival, Doug Smart
of Washington, has an average of
20.9. Behind Smart are Charlie
Franklin of Oregon, at 19.8, and
Dave Gambee of Oregon State, at
18.9. Don Mcintosh of Cal and
Ken Narson of Oregon State are
tied for the fifth position at 13.1
and appear out of the running.
Simmons has 293 points, 101 of
them from free throws. He was
held to only 13 by Cal last Fri
day, but scored 30 the following
night against Washington.
Smart has 272 points, 68 of them
from foul shot conversions. He
leads the conference in rebounds
with 172. Gambee is second with
141 and Hal Duffy of Oregon third
with 139.
which they totaled 623 points to
478 for their opponents, with Bill
Rajnus garnering high point honors.
The Bonanza Antlers, coached
by Erwin Ellis, ran up the highest
score total of the league, 867
points, winning four games and
losing seven, while, by the same
token they allowed their oppon
ents the highest total, 904. Ron
Roberts, league highscorer, leads
the Antler attack
The Merrill Huskies, directed by
coach Al Keck to second place in
the league standings, should have
little trouble in disposing of the
Gilchrist Grizzlies. They have no
cinch, however as the Gilchrist
crew, under the hand of timer
Kortemeyer, have improved consid
erably and could very well come
into their own in the tournament
play.
Gordon Kuist s Chiloquin ranin-
ers, co-holders of third place, are
slated the favorites over Jerry
Kempf's SHA Trojans but the
game will be no runaway as the
Panthers seem to have suppea
from their early season ratings
while the Sacred Heart group has
been gaining experience.
The Bly Bobcats, largely due to
the scoring ability of springy-legged
Walter Lee and the able lead
ership of Charles Samples, are
rated strong favorites over little
known Paisley. The Bronco five,
an invitational entry in the tour
ney, have played only two games
against county opponents ana tnese
they won from Gilchrist.
Friday, the winners of the
Thursday games will meet in an
evening doubleheader starting at
7:30.

Maybe it's a little too early for
predictions, but a half a dozen or
so youngsters already are kicking
up theur heels in the various ma
jor league training camps.
The New York Yankees, fore
u n n e r s of the instructional
school, "graduated" four farm
hands Tuesday, and as usual
Manager Casey Stengel got in a
few hundred well chosen words of
praise on each.
Picked to train with the varsity
after catching Stengel's eye were
outfielder Deron Johnson, pitch
ers Zack Monroe and Johnny
James, and catcher Billy John
son. Deron Johnson, only 19, im
pressed while working out at third
base where he is expected to see
a lot of action during the training
phase ahead.
"Look at tne way ne gets me
job done out there," Casey
beamed. He charges the call
and it just seems to run into
his hands. You can bet one thing,
he's going to get a chance.
Deron Johnson moved up to
Binehamton in the E a s t e rn
League last year after a fine first
year in organized bail at Kear
ney, in the Class O Nebraska
State League in 1956.
James was at Richmond in tne
International League last year,
while Monroe played at Denver in
the American Association.
Meanwhile, only a couple of

Devine was beating the drums for
was with the club last season, and
rookie reliever Phil Clark, who
won 16 games for Houston in the
Texas League last year. Muffett
had a 3-2 record in 1957.
The Chicago White Sox, who are
looking for long ball hitters to
back up theur "class pitching
staff, think they may have found
a good prospect in 18-year-old out
fielder John Callison, up from
Bakersfield in the Class C Cali
fornia League. Callison had Man
ager Al Lopez beaming when he
belted a couple of 400-foot hom
ers during a workout at lampa.
Two other rookies, catcher Ca-
milo Carreon and first baseman
Donald Mincher, also showed Lo
pez strong potential, particularly
Carreon, who hit two balls over
the left field fence at the Sox'
training base in Tampa.
Elsewhere, the champion Mil
waukee Braves cut their unsigned
list to 11 when pitcher Juan Pi
zarro and outfielder Andy Pafko
agreed to terms. The Washington
Senators traded second Daseman
Milt Boiling to the Cleveland In
dians in exchange for pitcher Pete
Mesa after signing catcher cunt
Courtney. The Kansas City Ath
letics signed catcher Hal Smilft,
leaving pitcher Virgil Trucks and
second baseman Hec Lopez still
unsatisfied with terms.

About the only thing that can

of three to every two ounces.
