Just picking up the odds ind ends after Christmas:
Athletic officials at the University of Oregon are feel
ing mighty proud of their freshman basketball crop. Seems
the Webfoot freshman club suffered only one casualty be
cause of grades at the close of the fall terra last week.
According to sources in Eugene, only Joe Malan, the
6-1 guard from San Francisco fell by the inyside because
of low grades. It is possible that the Bay Area all-city prep
star will be back to make up the deficiency arid become eligible next
year for varsity play. All others came through in fine shape.
While in Eugene last Monday for the Oregon-Montana basket
ball game, we visited with Glenn Moore, the 6-8 all-stater from Klam
ath Falls, and learned he was coming along fine. Glenn reported he
- had 18 hours of 2.4 (C-plus) which includes two summer courses.
Glenn's only problem grade-wise was ROTC (military training), but
that one seems to be a matter of interest rather than ability.
We also talked with several
members of the Oregon coaching
staff while in Eugene, including
varsity basketball coach Steve
Belko and freshman mentor Don
Kirsch. Both had lots of praise
for the fine group of freshmen,
and added extra compliments to
ward Moore and Dave Robinson,
the two Klamath boys now play
ing for the Ducklings.
Kirsch remarked that the big
problem with Moore was his com
plex against shooting the ball.
"He has the tendency to pass up
some good shots, Kirsch re
marked, "and looks for a team
mate to pass to. But we think
he is getting past that stage and
look for him to grow out of this
fault." The frosh coach also added
that Moore is being primed to
forget many of his "useless"
fakes and make the most of his
speed and agility, something that
few big men have.
Taking a quote from Al Light
ner's column, Sportsllghtner, in
the Salem Statesman:
Coach Lee Dancer of the Sa
lem Valley Motors AAU team
"That Moore (Glenn) has more
moves than a champion checker
player he s going to be a
great one."
Dancer had these words of wis
dom after his AAU quint was
beaten by the Frosh.
Two Hems from the East-West
Shrine Game scene:
1. When sports writers (Call
tornia by the way) were in
terviewing Len Casanova, Univer
sity of Oregon football coach now
assisting with the west shriners,
they asked him about the problems
of filling the football schedule
holes left vacant by the loss of
UCLA and Southern California
The grey-haired Duck coach
toasted them with, "we have re
placed USC and UCLA with such
teams as the Air force, Micro
Ban, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Texas,
Rice and other schools. They are
strictly big leaguers." Ed s note:
Could their be some malice in
Cas' remarks about big leaguers?
2. Head coach of the West
team Jack Curtis of Stanford
found out that you can't believe
what you read in the football
programs now days. Curtis found
Arizona State naliDacK L,eon Bur
ton listed at 175 pounds when he
picked him to the team. But now
he learns Burton scales 127
pounds, sopping wet. And to top
it off, "Cactus Jack" learned that
fullback Larry Hickman of Baylor
weighs 234 pounds instead of the
210 he was given credit for by
the Southwest Conference scnooi,
The old story about a game
never being over until the final
gun is more than true, according
to Lloyd Leith, coach of the Mis
sion High School (San Francisco)
basketball team.'
Leith's team was leading by 14
coints m a recent game, 45-31
with one minute and 40 seconds
to go. So Lloyd pulled his first
string out and sent them to the
showers.

If the other teams in the Ameri

trade Casey Stengel a left fielder,
he may show them all and make
his own changes to strengthen the
Yankees weak spot.
Casey is pondering the possibili
ties of moving pitcher Don Lar

Larsen hit a lofty .306 this year

Could it be that Bob Bowman,
former Klamath Falls Gem in
the days of the old Far West

Bowman made three different

Minnesota took the lead off the

Huskies quickly took control and
when they got a 5-4 edge after
three minutes of play they never
again trailed.
Minnesota's tall front line
