Belkos Hoopsters Up' for OSU Four Years of Silo Tech Dust. Tzar—What Are You Going to Do About It? By DAVE BARONTI Sports Writer “Washington will whip Oregon State. Oregon will beat Washing ton State and then Oregon State twice. 'Stanford will defeat Cal twice and Southern Cal and l CLA will split.” • Then there will be a four-way tie for first.” That was one view expressed at Monday’s Oregon Club. But only one. Actually it was intend ed as a joke. Assistant basketball coach Don Kirsh who was filling in for Steve Belko at the luncheon, smiled at the remark. “We may not be in it,” he said. “But whether we are or not, the kids are going to be up these last two games—particularly the seniors. They want to end the season on a good note. “Naturally, Steve was disap pointed with the Washington i game. It wasn't our best effort— by quite a bit But it wasn't our worst. Actually it was close. We were in it all the way.” “Commendable Jobs” He singled out Jim Barnett and ' Bob Craven as doing "common '■ dable jobs.” Barnett, he said, did well un der the circumstances (due to a cold he had worked out only the day before the game) and | Craven "pinch-hitted” effectively. ; getting 14 points, 10 of them in i the second half. The highlight of the program was supposed to be a movie of the UCLA game which Kirsh brought to the Club. He showed the movie, all right. And the pictures were of the j UCLA-Oregon game. But Kirsh | was strangely silent. Midway through the affair, aft EMERALD SPORTS or watching Elliott Gleason. (1964-65 Oregon captain) and Gail Goodrich (1965 Ut'LA star) trade layups, he informed his au dience that they were watching, last year's game. “It’s not my fault," he quipped. "John Robin son handed me the film." Before Kirsch spoke, Don Con tinuity, manager of the stadium project, announced that initial plans for the new stadium will be exhibited in a (5 p in. meeting at the F.ugene Hotel March 8 in the Village Green Room. Gym Coach IMcased He urged everyone connected with the project to attend. Gymnastics coach Dick Smith was "very pleased” with the showing his athletes gave in the Pacific Northwest championships at McArthur Court over the week end. “We came out second,” he said. “But we did by far our best job of the year. “Unfortunately, Washington was just as high .” The Huskies, who were second in the nation last year, Smith really did not expect to beat. "We ll have to wait a few years for that,” he said “We did beat Washington State for the first time ever, though, and also Eastern Washington and British Columbia. So we’re pretty satisfied. “I threw in a couple of fresh men, too. And they did surpris ingly well.” Turchi and Palmer As for the varsity, he mention ed John Turchi and John Palmer as being particularly outstand ing." ! Next stop for the gymnasts is the PAC championships March 18 19 at Stanford. Swimming coach Don Van Ros sen had a few good words to say about the athletic department, in ; particular the stadium project. “We’re operating a silk-purse program on a sow’s ear budget,” he said. “I’ve seen six man foot Cougar Rally Tops Oregon PULLMAN—Washington State, trailing at one time by ten points, used a second-half rally to fashion an 88-83 PAC basketball victory over Oregon here Monday night. Except for an early 1-0 lead, the Cougars never held the advantage over the visiting Ducks until a Tom Tommervik fielder with 4:30 left in the game gave WSU a 79-78 lead. Oregon captain Jim Barnett, fouled by guard Doug Kloke, knotted the score at 79-all a few seconds later, but five points by Dennis Kloke—two field goals and one charity toss—gave the lead back to the Cougars at 84-81. Barnett pushed the Ducks back within one point with a layin at 1:35, but two more clutch free throws by Dennis Kloke put the game out of reach of the pursu ing Webfoots. The loss dropped the Ducks to a fourth place tie with Southern California in the PAC standings , with a 6-6 record and put Ore-1 ! gon’s season record at 13-11. Ore gon State was assured of at least * a tie for the conference cham-, I pionship Monday night when the I Beavers dropped Washington in j Seattle, 54-43. Barnett led all scorers with 26 points, but it was Dennis Kloke's 17-point second half effort that felled the Ducks. Kloke scored 23 all together, but Jim McKean captured high scoring honors for the Cougars with 25 counters. Dave Kafoury hit 13 points for the Ducks, and he was followed closely by Bill Jennings and Nick Jones with 12 apiece. Tommervik totaled 17 for the Cougars. Oregon started with a good average from the field, hitting, four of its first six shots for a 12-6 lead. The Cougars narrowed the score to 15-14 with a little more than 12 minutes to go in the first half, but the Ducks j moved six points ahead again 1 Volkswagen Specialists • Low Repair Charges • Workmanship Guaranteed • Factory Trained in Germany • Fully Equipped to Handle All German Makes GERMAN AUTO SERVICE 2045 FRANKLIN BLVD. 342-2912 with a jumper by kafoury lrom the top of the key and a charity toss and a 12-foot jump shot from the right side by Jones.

The girl cagers dumped George Fox, 36-25, Linfield, 37-14, and Portland State, 27-16, in the two days action at Corvallis.

"We won easily this time," he said. “Some of you have been won dering why our PAC diving champion, Larry Folinsbee, has been beaten three times this year. The reason is he’s been going for the hard dives . . the kind of dives that will make him of Olympic caliber. Against Oregon State, he started to hit. Fo linsbee racked up :t!)9 points Any time a diver starts hitting around 400, lie's getting up there.” Hopeful for Wood One of the performers Van Kosson is most hopeful about in the PAC meet this weekend in Los Angeles is his captain. Dale W'ood, an Australian distance specialist. He indicated that Dale has not been up to par this year. How ever, he thinks the reason has been found and can be corrected in time for the PAC. "The Australian desert boots he’s been wearing have been giv ing him fallen arches," Van Hos sen said. Like the swimmers, Art Keith's wrestlers have n date with the PAC championship* this weekend lli.s action is going to be in Sc attic. Keitli compared hi* team to what Washington's revolution ary army must have been like coming out of Valley Forge. "Only our bandages and tapes are hidden," he said, referring to the numerous injuries on his squad. Before the season, he men tioned that his squad was thin with only one man per weight and that any injuries would be crucial. •It would have been best if we didn't wrestle the guys who were hurt," Keith said, "but we lose live points on every forfeit, so we had to Besides, the boys all wanted to go." "Hope" for t’pset Because of the injuries, he can only "hope" that the Ducks will upset Oregon State’s perennial champions for the title. "But we can't count on it "Oregon State has four defend ing champions, we have three. Stanford has one or two, and I think UCLA has one. "That doi sn't leave room for hardly anybody else ” One good factor in Oregon's fa vor, lie said, is that its top four wrestlers — Doug Robertson, Curt Scott, Bob Mitchell, and Bruce Olenn are all healthy. 1966 graduates: what will you have accomplished by 1967?
