He will arrive in Seattle around April 1 to assume his new duties. His hometown is La Grange, Illinois. Saban and Badgro are the first assistants named by Cassill.

-Seattle Loan During last night's NCAA com- peuuun, several or the smaller schools probably wished they were in the NAIA. Seattle got Its" long-time wish crack at mighty Washington but its stars," Little Johnny and Eddie O'Brien, were no match for the Huskies. Houbregs, rated one of the college game's finest hook-shots, broke the single game high of 44 points set last year by Clyde Lovellette of Kansas. Washington wiped out the team mark set earlier in the evening by LSU. Houbregs And Co.

Figured As Winners (Continued from Page 1) national pons, hadn't been able to find a place on its schedule for (Continued from Page 1) little Seattle located just across the city from the Huskv campus. Little Johnny rated an All American on every team, dumped in 24 points for the Chieftains but it wasn't enough to keep Seattle in the running. Huskies Off Fast It was a runaway almost from the start as the 6-foot, 7-inch Houbregs tanked 13 points in the first quarter to get his club off to a 24-11 quarter lead. He threw in another 13 points in the second quarter, nearly all on layup shots, to give the Dyemen a 47-32 bulge. The great Washington hook shot stylist took aim on the rim 35 times during the contest and hit dead center on 20 attempts while his mates were almost as hot.

They dropped in 37 out of 74 tries for a sparkling .526 average. It was up to captain Mike Mc-Cutchen to stop, the great little Johnny 'O, and stop hint he did; covering Johnny like a duck on a Wtanebug although. tb Utile Indian ia: 11 utu 1111 ma uui ui xo uic'5 irom the floor. Washington's greatest edge was 31 points, racked up in the fourth quarter. After that Dye put In his second string and Seattle began look good, but it was too late.

Dunne the first half, Houbregs repeatedly broke through for layups as time and time again, slick passing on the part of his teammates found the big center all alone under the Chieftain's basket. Wayne Sanford, set to guard the big feya, looked like a bewildered youngster'as Houbregs maneuvered him repeatedly out of position to score in the short time the Chieftain was in the game. In all fairness to the Seattle club, about the best thing one might say that it simply proves the old adage a good big man can always beat a good little man and there, just weren't enough good little men last night to take the same floor with the maenificent Washington quint. Broncos Win Easily As expected, coach Bob Feerick's Santa Clara Broncos, winners of last year's NCAA tournament in the Coliseum, experienced little trouble with a so-so Wyoming outfit, humbling the Cowboys, 67-72. Wyoming, who lost out to Santa Clara, 56-53 for the western title in '52, kept up with the Broncs in the first half but the Californians, paced by big Ken Sears, 6-foot 7 inch forward, who tallied 19 points, pulled ahead after the intermission and were never in danger after that although the Cow-bovs kept trying.

Bill Sharp, 6-foot Cowboy guard, was high pointer for the potting 23 points on deliberate setups. Coach Bob Ferrick, of Santa Clara, said his club won "without a terrific showing" and expected his team to run into its greatest trouble against Washington. Ferrick said. Washington is a "strongly balanced team because the Huskies have long shooters and terrific backboard strength." WacHineton coach- Tippy Dye Oregon State Grapplers In tected. 1 Among the owners certain to back Veeck is Dan Topping, pres ident of the Yankees, who said last night that he is in favor of the switch "if certain conditions can be met and the thing can be pack aged up as Veeck says a can be." Perini's chief problem involved selling Braves Field since the Red Sox use Fenway Park.

Perini values the park at $800,000. If the Braves go to Milwaukee, their affiliates, the Brewers, prob ably will be transferred to Toledo, which lost its American Asso ciation team to Charleston. W. last year. The switches would mark the first in the major leagues since 1903.
