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

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

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

Oregon State for the second time
this year, be was more than
pleased.
"We won easily this time," he
said.

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.
