Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, Ore. Wednesday, January 24, 2018 Page A-3 Clampers look to help students good with their hands Jason McMillen IVN Contributing Writer The E. Clampus Vitus known as “Clampers,” a fraternal historical society that prides itself on not taking itself too seriously, are hosting their fifth annual fundraising Super Bowl event at the Sportsman Tavern which will kick off Feb. 4 at 2:30 p.m. All proceeds will be used to facilitate a $2,500 trade school scholarship for a hard working student in Josephine County. Tickets are $25 and can be picked up at the Sportsman Tavern at any time before or during the event. It includes a bowl of gumbo (prepared by the 1859’s chapter Humbug Tarry Frank), three tickets for the “1859” raffle, three tickets for a 50/50 raffle, three tickets for the prize raffle and one ticket for the halftime door prize raffle. The 50/50 and 1859 raffles will award cash prizes with the latter having two drawings. The first drawing’s winner will receive 18 percent of the pot while the second receives 59 percent; the remainder goes toward the scholarship. According to Frank, the standard prize raffle had around 20 items last year. It should be noted that winners don’t necessarily have to be at the event at the time of the drawing in order to claim their prize. Should no one immediately claim their winnings, the ticket’s number will be recorded and can be collected at a later date. Additional raffle tickets may be purchased at the event and those who don’t want to participate in the drawings can get a bowl of gumbo for $8. The Clampers formed in pre-workers union America and tasked themselves with taking care of women and children made widows and orphans in the coal mines of West Virginia. The society, which has historically preferred to take as little credit as possible, did whatever they could to support women and children with everything they could muster including food, blankets, rent money and even manual labor. Modern Clampers carry on the legacy by organizing fundraisers whose goal is primarily to help women and children in need. Considering themselves a historical society, they also install informational plaques at historical sites throughout the west.

(AP) — Kelly Graves’ first tastes of the Civil War as Oregon’s head coach were back-to-back losses by a combined 62 points to a ranked Oregon State team. In his fourth season, Graves and the No. 7 Ducks finally pumped new life 100-game old rivalry. Satou Sabally scored 21 points, Sabrina Ionescu had 15 points and 11 assists and Oregon beat No. 18 Oregon State 75-63 on Sunday night. The Ducks (18-3, 7-1 Pac-12) broke the game open with a 28-11 second quarter and led by as many as 27 points to snap a 14-game losing streak against the Beavers (14-5, 5-3). Maite Cazorla had 16 points and Mallory McGwire 14 for Oregon. “It was a great win,” Graves said. “That was a well-played game, a great crowd and a great atmosphere for women’s basketball.” The G SPOT HUMP DAY KARAOKE w/ Jammer & Birdy 8-midnight OPEN MIC w/ B Thursdays @ 7 Kat Tudor scored 17 points and Marie Gulich 16 for Oregon State after they had combined for 62 points in the Beavers’ 85-79 overtime win Friday. Sabally had 13 points in the first half after scoring just three in the first game. She was 9 of 15 from the field and 3 of 7 from the arc to go with five assists. “She was looking to be a lot more aggressive off the dribble and around the basket, and that was great to see,” Graves said. “When she does that with the other kids we’ve got, it gives us a whole new dimension.” The Ducks asserted themselves early with defense, holding OSU to 25 percent shooting (6 of 24) in the first half. The Beavers had no points in the paint by the break, and the nation’s best 3-point shooting team was only 1 of 7 as Oregon built a 40-18 lead.

They were the Every Wednesday Open MIC Night 6 - 9 p.m. Sportsman Tavern aggressor.” Ruthy Hebard’s 10 rebounds led the Ducks to a 41-30 edge on the boards. They also outscored the Beavers 32-14 in the paint. Oregon, the fourth No. 1 seed in first NCAA ratings released Thursday, leads the Pac-12 by a game over UCLA and Stanford. However, the Ducks will continue to tinker with their rotation without injured 3-point specialist Lexi Bando, the NCAA’s active career leader beyond the arc at 45.5 percent. Oregon State has work to do with three conference losses and six of its last 10 games on the road if it hopes to claim a fourth consecutive Pac-12 regular-season championship. STAT OF THE NIGHT Oregon is 15-1 when it out-rebounds opponents, and Oregon State is 3-5 when it scores fewer than 70 points.
