cents the other night at Corvallis, and it went practically unnoti
ced. When Roger Wiley brought bis Springfield Millers up to play
Tom Holman's Spartans, they smiled, helloed and let it go at that.
Perhaps not even they at the time remembered a dazzling few sec
ends in which both played the heavy roles only a lew years ago,

, Wiley Made Holman Hera of the Hour
It was in the fag end of an Oregon-Oregon State thriller,
and John Warren's Webfoots were comfortably in front. Only
- about a minute of play remained when Holman made a bas
ket Wiley grabbed the ball and in his haste to toss it into play
again from beneath the basket, he miscued and flipped it to
Holman. Tommy immediately popped in another two-pointer.
Much ! to the amazement of everyone in the McArthur Court
arena, which was packed, Wiley again took the ball and again
made a faulty pass, which Holman again intercepted. But this
time, as Holman cast for the basket, big Roger fouled the Bea
ver guard. So the basket was good, and Holman got a free
throw to boot. He made that also, knotting the score and forc
ing the game into overtime. Seven points by Holman within the
span of seconds in one of the craziest climaxes to any basket-
nan rame ever niavru.
Needless to say, Oregon State won in the overtime period and
TTolman was the hero of the hour. Wiley? Well. OSC ers were
thinkina seriously of sending the big guy an orange "O" letter
award, but finally figured he must've felt badly enough already.
Thev mav or mav not have thought of that hectic few seconds
when they met the other night at Corvallis. But they had greeted
one another with, "Hello, Roger,f pi' pal," and "Hello, Tommy, you
so-and-so." it would have been quite appropriate , . .

Hunt Mishaps
Rise Slightly
Recent figures compiled by the
Oregon game commission indicate
that the toll of hunting accidents
in 1953 surpassed by two the pre-,
vious year's total.
According to statistics compiled
from state police accident reports
and stories obtained! by checking
news clippings on a state -wide
scale, Oregon had a total of 30
hunting accidents during 1953.
Seven of the accidents were fatal.
This total does not include heart
attacks or automobile accidents
that happened on the way to the
hunting grounds, but only actual
gunfire wounds and; in one case
an arrow wound.
With the tofal hunting license
sales at approximately 250,000,
this makes a ratio of about one
accident per every 8,000 hunters.
As in the past, most of the ac
cidents occurred during the deer
hunting season. One of the-deer
hunting accidents was the first on
record of its type in1 recent years.

In Sled Race
CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italyti")
After i three days of record
smashing ; time trials, the world's
fastest bobsled racers were ready
Wednesday night for the first inter
national competition of a two-week
meeting at this alpine resort.
But a warm wind that" swept
through Cortina threatened, to soft
en the icy, 1,700 meter slide and
wipe out the possibility of further
record breaking, i
Twenty two-man sleds from eight
nations will race Thursday for the
Endrich Cup in a preliminary to
th world5 two-man championships
this week-end. j
Wednesday's final time trials
produced a half dozen runs faster
than the; competitive record set
only last Sunday. They also
brought the first accident of the
trials as the sleds traveled as
fast as 90 miles an hour at some
points.
Italy's national champions, Italo
Petrelli and Luigi Figoli, who set
the record Sunday, slammed into
a wall and rolled over just after
crossing the finish line at a mile-a-minute
clip. Petrelli, knocked un
conscious i for 10 minutes, escaped
without broken bones while Figoli
was only! scratched.
Three American sleds, including
one which isn't eligible for the
international competition, were
among the leaders in the trials.
