BERKELEY, Dece 15---The nation's most snectaculer outside shooter, iobin Freeman,

leads his Ohio State basketball mates against California in a pair of intersectional

cage clashes at ee Gymnasium for Men Tuesday and wednesday, otarting time for both

games is 8:30 nem.

 

Both Rear-Buckeye basketball games will be broadcast over Station KSFO, with Jay

Freeman, a 5-foot, ll-inch junior, is unquestionably one of the most amazing court
figures to hit collegiate circles in years. A "shortie" among oresent day cagers,
Freeman does most of his scoring from outside the foul circle,

Freeman has averaged 39 noiits a game. More spectacular has been his accuracy, Freeman
having scored l3 field goals in 82 attemts for a 52h accuracy vercentage. His chief
weanon is a fabulous fadeaway jump shot from as far as 35 feet away from the basket.

Coach Pete Newell of the Bears, whose Michigan State quintet met Freeman last
season, says of the Buckeye star: "Freeman is beyond question the best jumo shooter
I have ever seen on a basketball court."

Ohio State 98, “ittsourgh 67; Ohio State 98, Sutler 80; Ohio State 91, it. Louis 86.

The Buckeyes, coached by diminutive Floyd Stahl, were to nlay Oklahoma at Norman,
