writs 10 The Bulletin, Wednesday, December 4, 1963 A LOOK AT - SPORTS Local basketball unknown factor. . . by Web Ruble Bulletin Sports Editor Well. . .basketball season Is here. Maple court action opens this weekend. Friday night will see all of the Central Oregon Class A-l schools commence their 1963 1964 seasons at Prmeville. It's the Central Oregon tip-off tour nament, and Saturday night the action moves to Bend. With the contests starting this weekend, it's time to take a look at the who's-got-whal sit uation. A single glance into the void told the sportslooker that none of the teams in Central Oregon can be expected to rise very far above the mediocrity mark. Up at Madras the Buffs un der new mentor Bob Allard show a definite lack of height. The Buffs, however, are a bunch of hustlers and can scrap and scramble enough to make it tough on teams planning to have comfortable evenings. Shooting Off Though it Is too early to tell, none of the teams in Central Oregon have demonstrated that they have their shooting eyes. This Includes the Buffs, who for all of their lack of height, may have to depend on their long distance bombing accuracy to pull them through. Allard isn't boasting any of his athletes. He, like the other Central Oregon coaches, hasn't arrived at any starting five, and probably won't announce same until game time Friday night. However, the Buffs have vet eran guard Larry Barnes, a junior, who saw considerable action last year as a second unit man.. Later In the season, how ever, saw Barnes take over one of the starting guard positions as a sophomore. Barnes may be one of the leading hopes for the Buffs this year. An all - around athlete, Barnes Is quick, agile and has a good pair of Hands. Barnes, Multi-Sporting He was the Buffs' quarter back last fall during football season. Barnes plays baseball, basketball and, though really too small, football about equal ly well. At the oilier guard spot, Al lard may go with veteran Ralph Minnlck, a fast court man and a bearcat after rebounds. Min nick, though much faster than Bames. was the latter's substi tute at quarterback in football. Minnlck. however, was a defen sive halfhack and proved to be one of the better ones in Cen tral Oregon. Over at Prineville, Wayne Lunde, veteran Cowboy coach. Isn't too happy about, the situa tion. Some disciplinary prob lems before the basketballers even donned suits cut his po tential in halt. Minus A Few I Were Lunde's squad to be at full strength, Prineville would have been the dopesters' favor ite. The Cowboys, even with these veterans, wouldn't have been loaded with talent, but they would have the edge on other Central Oregon schools in experience. Upon the current situation, Lunde doesn't know really what he has. Joining the cautious prc-season attitude of the other coaches, Lunde has no idea what his boys can do and has offered no prediction on h n w the Cowboys will fare in rela tion tn the oilier mid-state ag gregations. Were one to consider height a definite advantage (and give no consideration to experience) Coach Chuck Hudson's Bend Lava Bears would he the num- hpr nnA team nn tha dorkct. Rend, however, will have an extremely voung squad with several sophomores up from last year s freshman squad bat tling for starting berths. Hudson, with his tall timbers alone, admits that his caia men must rate at least as a dark horse. Hudson, in his third year at the Bruin helm, has had two bad seasons. He took over at Bend when the basektball talent (everyone says it) was at an all-time low. He, this year, is looking for ward to his first "heller" sea son. Hudson, however, is cau tious. He is somewhat worried about his lack of experience. "I just hope I can bring them (sophs) along far enough and early enmigh," he offered. Bend has been working hard this week getting ready for Friday's season inaugural after a four- day layoff during Thanksgiving vacation. Kauffman Cautious Up at Redmond, Coach Buck Kauffman isn't saying much ' "I'll just have to wait and see," he said. ". . .these are a swell bunch of kids, and though they aren't smooth or experienced now, they may come along." Kauffman is left with a void this year. Gone from the Pan ther maple court ranks are Don Watrous and Ed Sturza, last year's 1-2 scoring and rebound punch. Redmond has no giant claims to height. Kauffman's squad, however, won't be on the short end when it comes to scrap. There are some big men. Bill Hughitt and Kerry Parkinson stand over six feet and may turn out to be a husky pair to deal with under the boards. Wayne Marquess, a sophomore surprise at quarterback this past grid season, has shown considerable agility, speed and fight. Starters Unpicked Kauffman, however, isn't naming any of these players to his starting unit, yet. "Quite frankly," Kauffman said this week, I don t know what rve got. . .1 simply can't name a starting five now." It's the sportslooker's guess that Kauffman will shuffle his lineup around considerably as the season progresses. Without any proven athletes to fill in the void left by Watrous and Sturza, Redmond can't be con sidered a tourney favorite or even a strong possibility for league honors. Like football, most of the power this year seems to lie m the eastern half of the confer ence. Pendleton's Buckaroos, by far the more superior in foot ball, still loom as the number one candidate for the loop casa ba title. Though the Bucks are not supposed to be loaded with talent, neither are they shy on veterans. . .and they are defending champions. Little is known about Hermis ton,. the number two team last I year. Coach George DeLap, however, does have returning leltcrmen Jack Thomas and Bob Webb, plus Jim Lynch. Until they are proven poor, the Hermiston Bulldogs loom as the top candidate to topple Pen dleton. The Dalles is expected to be anything but shy of tal ent, and little is known about La Grande and Baker. Mac Hi of Milton-Freewater is not con sidered to be a top threat.

(UPI) - j The last barrier to the Feb. 24 Sonny Liston-Cassius Clay fight was removed Tuesday when the Nevada Athletic Commission granted a license to Interconti nenliti Promotions Inc.

Buckaroos nip Blades in firsf By United Press International It looks as though San Fran cisco Seal coach Bud Poile was right when he said the only thing sure about this year's Western Hockey League race was that two fine teams would not make the playoffs. Proof that there are no easy marks this season was again supplied Tuesday night when fifth-place Portland Bopped the Seals 5-1. and sixth-place Van couver dumped Seattle 3-2. Los Angeles moved into a first-place tie with Denver with a 3-2 win over the Invaders in the night's other contest. Center Art Jones led Portland past the Seals with a pair of tallies. Tommy McVie, Gerry Goyer and Dallas Smith also blinked the red light for the Bucks. Smith and Larry McNab of the Seals dropped their sticks and engaged in a bare-knuckle brawl in the second stanza. Both wound up with seven min utes in the penalty box and a few bruises. Vancouver got a pair of tal lies from the league's leading goal-producer, Buddy Boone, and a third from Roy McCus ker.

Attendance at Vancouver was below the 1,000 mark and there are fears for the city's future in the loop. Los Angeles showed Denver it meant business when Gordon Haworth scored after just 58 seconds of play. It was 2-2 aft er a wild first stanza, but then Maurice Ofteboro scored late in the second period and that proved to be the last and deci sive tally of the game. Both clubs emerged with Iden tical 12-7-2 records. Los Angeles hosts Portland tonight and Den ver comes calling on the slump ing San Francisco squad.

BABY'S ALBUM WITH be photographed singly Dose shines & Stanford takes Oregon, 83-65 WEST COAST BASKETBALL By United Press International Stanford's Tom Dose was fourth highest scorer in his school's history today, and the big center still has almost the whole season to play. Dosu filed 26 points and dom inated both boards Tuesday night as Stanford blitzed Ore gon 83-65 in an awesome display to sweep their two-game series.
