San Francisco defeated Idaho State 57-51 in the first game to night to win third place. The crowd of 14.852 In the Cow Palace went wild as Seattle bounced back from an 8-point halftime deficit. Baylor, the 6-6 All-America who won a similar thriller 69-67 from San Francisco Friday night hit 26 points Saturday night, He was held to 10 points in the first half. In the frantic second half the lead chanced nine tunes. Twice California lost a chance to score a tremendous upset when Al Buch and Earl Robinson missed free throw shots in the last minute of the regulation same.

The loss left Roosevelt in eighth place. Dan Stautz led the East Brenv erton Knights In their victory over Scattle s Uooscvelt Teddies, scor Ing 23 points. Fearful of being Bakkenate, as had previous victims of East Brem erton, Roosevelt concentrated on high scoring Lowell Bakken and held him to a meaner 12 points Bakken wound up with 91 for the tourney and his team, by stall ing through the late minutes, missed an opportunity to crack the all time team scoring mark for four games. The Knights tied the 274 point total compiled by Walla Walla in 1955. After Roosevelt took a 16-11 first quarter lead, East Bremerton turned its full court press to full throttlo and piled up 25 points to bo in front at half time, 36-28, The Knights slowed down the game In the second half, content to protect their lead, ana Hoose velt never was able to get closer than 4 points. Most effective man on the Ted lineup was little Jerry Frank, who potted 16 points, most of them at long range as the winners' zone defense blocked Roosevelt's b 1 g men off tlie bourds. Despite the speed of the gnme and East Bremerton's swarming luetics on defense, only one man fouled out. He was Charley Sells, Roosevelt's tall center, who went out with 19 seconds left to piny.

PCC Halts Free Ride Aid Plan SAN FRANCISCO ( - The Pa cific Coast Conference committed itself Saturday to maintain present athlete aid standards until the July 1, 1959, withdrawal deadline announced by California, UCLA and Southern California. By a 6-2 vote, a special confer ence meeting which ended today rejected a modified free ride aid plan proposed by Washington and supported by Southern Cali fornia. California did not vote be cause Dr. Glenn T. Seaborg, facul ty representative, was absent, but Cal's previous policy declarations place it solidly on the majority side. Chuck Taylor, Stanford's assist ant athletic director acting in Sea- borg's place as conference spokes man, said he interpreted the vote as showing the league members were "substantially satisfied" with maintaining the PCC's present aid code in status quo. Taylor reported the committee assigned last December to study and report on the aid question had limshed lis job and had been dis charged. Taylor said no further discussion on the aid issue ap peared in prospect for the league s regular spring meeting at Port land. May 18-22. Taylor said he believed the spe cial meeting on the aid question had been very productive be cause the conference reaffirmed Us stand and cleared the air.' The continuing PCC aid code allows member schools to give athletes tuition and campus jobs paying $100 a month at $2 an hour. A double, $4 an hour wage is al lowed in the athlete's sports sea son. The. Washington-sponsored plan. including family need standards patterned after the Big Ten Con ference aid code, would have pro vided athletes tuition, fees, board, room and books. Whether the athlete worked or not would have been left up to each school. Two alternate aid plans offered in a report by the committee, headed by Don Wollett of Wash ington, were junked without a vote during two days of discussion. One was a plan spelled out last December in the resolution order ing the aid committee study, ap proved by a 6-3 vote. This would have given tuition and board and room to athletes working pre scribed hours on campus jobs and maintaining a 2.2 (C plus) grade average. The second alternate dropped alter discussion would have trimmed down the present code's allowances for double wages in a player's sports season. Before the special meeting ad journed, a day ahead of schedule, the formal withdrawal letters from California, UCLA and Southern California were read into the min utes, without discussion. Taylor reported there had been no talk about any of the three schools changing their decisions to quit. But all three participated fully in all discussions. The pro posed aid revisions would have become effective next Sept. 1. The conference named George Briggs of Washington as acting radio and television chairman. He will take over from Al Masters, Stanford athletic director on sick leave following major surgery. AsKea aootit a report that San Jose State s President John Wahl- quist had written a letter request ing admission into the Icacne. Taylor said no such letter came belorc the meeting. He also ex plained that new members can be admitted only by invitation and under sponsorship of a present member. Bengals Capture Fight Verdict POCATEM.O.

I'm only aiming for progress." he explained Saturday as he sent a squad of some 60 hopefuls through sa tough spring training drill. "Our first job is lo do better than last year. I'm sure we are going to do that We might have a pretty good ball club." The lantern-jawed plain-soeakiiic Murtaugh took over the Pirates in mid - season last year when Bobby Bragan was let out about tho lime it seemed Ihe Pirates were going to finish a hopeless last. The club wound up in a tie with the Chicao Cubs for seventh and eighth places. FEWER MISTAKES "We started making fewer mis takes and as a result won more ball games.

Owl baseball boil taking over the diamond sport for the first time. Both Miller and Carr are assistant football coaches. Miller's track team won the Ore gon Collegiate Conference cham pionship last year and the Owls mentor figures his club to be as strong or a little stronger in over all strength in his pre-season rat ings. The Owls lost distance star Jim King, but Miller figures to pick up valuable points in other events to counter King's loss. Heading the list of outstanding track prospects who will be bid ding for spots on this year's team are sprinter Bob Brown and hur dler Dick Hociver. Both Brown and Hociver were double winners in the OCC meet held last spring. Dale McCulloch, the holder of the Klamath County 'B' high school javelin record' and ex-Mer rill athlete, is expected to give Miller added strength in -the field events this spring.
