However, Al Keek's Pelicans might well look to the height and experience possessed by the Huskies rather than the somewhat deceptive record lest this carelessness prove fatal. The Huskies have been to the post three times this year and have been on the receiving end of three setbacks for their trou bles. First Lebanon and Cottage Grove and then last Saturday night, Thurston, have all stopped the Huskies. However, against the Colts, the Uluskies hit the same num West Work Pleases Head Man PALO ALTO, Calif.

"They seem to have excellent success against a passing team," he said. Berry has a flock ot targets at which to throw, including big ends Dick Imwalle and Rich Schwab. Imwalle was rated by ber of field goals, but received fewer chances at the charity stripe and this proved tlie dif ference. Coach Jerry Aloran's Huskies potted 23 field goals against Thurston a number normally sufficient for a victory, however, the Huskies received 14 free throw opportunities and convert ed seven, while the Colts went the line 29 times and hit 17.

It was completely unpredict able, the manner in which the underdog Dodgers rolled re lentlessly over Uie perennial world champions. This, plus the everlasting drama of the World Scries, moved it beyond the realm of the "ordinary" fall classic and put it in a class all by itself. Northing was really close.

M ti'k 1 : East-West Game Seen As NFL Look SAN FRANCISCO (LTD -Saturday's 39th renewal of the East-West Shrine game here may provide the nation with a preview of the National Football League title game that follows tlie next day. The West, like the New York Giants, figure to feature the flashy attack. At the West camp at Stanford, Baylor's Don Trull has looked like money in the bank passing to a quick fleet of receivers like Oregon State's Vern Burke. UCLA's Mel Profit, and USC's Willie Brown. Trull received a sore elbow leading Baylor past LSU, 14-7, in last Saturday's Bluebonnet Bowl. But West doctors and trainers say that all will be well by game time.

The net effect of the split, watched by a crowd of 7,000 at the Memorial Drive Courts, was to bolster Aussie hopes of keeping the cup. The defending champions, ruled slight favor ites to win the doubles match Friday. The chunky McKinley, who battled back into condition aft er reinjuring his back last month to make his first appear ance in a Davis Cup challenge round, appeared to be taking command of Emerson when he rallied from his first-set defeat to capture the second and roll to his big lead in the third set. But at this point Emerson, the man tennis experts were touting a year ago as a possi ble grand slam champion in 1963, suddenly began to look that part again. He uncorked some of the most brilliant ten nis of his career to win six of the next seven games, breaking McKinley's service three times as he did, to take the set. Bruins Try Yale Today LOS ANGELES lUPI) - The unbeaten UCLA Bruins met Yale today to open the 5th an nual Los Angeles basketball classic which features three of the nation's top-ten teams. Walt Hazzard, the fifth-ranked Bruins' All-America candidate, was expected to lead the UCLA attack against the Ivy-Leaguers. In the second game, center Skip Thoren led Illinois against West Virginia. Probably the biggest game of the opening-day round was the game between 10th ranked New York University and Michigan, the No. 2 team. NYU's Barry Kramer, who sported a 29.3-point scoring average last year, was expect ed to lead the attack against Michigan. 1 In the final game of the first round, co-host University of Southern California, led toy 6-fool-9 center John Block met Pittsburgh and forward Brian Gencralovich. The championship of tlie clas sic could go to any one of the eight teams the way the pairings turned out. With Michigan meeting OTU in tlie first round, that will automatically eliminate one of the top ranked teams from the finals playoff. first-round pro draft choices, Bill Munson of Utah State and Pete Bcathard of USC. The East can be compared to the Chicago Bears in the Na tional Football League title game. Like the Bears' Billy Wade, East quarterbacks Ron Digravio of Purdue and Pete Liske of Penn State are unspec tacular but heady performers who make few mistakes. The East has more heft in its line than the West and Head Coach Jack Mollenkopf has spent a large proportion of his practice sessions drilling his troops on defense. Just as the Bears hope to beat the Giants on defense, it appears that East hopes to con tain West in the same manner. nrr ivok oostowue ceoos GENTS FOR .'T vftkl,
