Pushing aside New Year's
bowls and celebrations, Central
Oregon's Class A-l prep athlet
ic teams will jump into action
this weekend with the busiest of
sports slates.
It's the same story in all ath
letic camps. The doldrums
caused by Yule tide layoffs has
descended. Mid - state coaches
now are confronted with a re
sulting getting back - in
shape task.
Counting basketball action in
the 1964 Intermountain Confer
ence wars officially commence
Friday night. Wrestling starts
regular action, too.
5 Games Friday
Five basketball games are on
the docket for Friday night.
Bend and Redmond are home
this weekend while Madras and
Crook County high schools trek
to the Blue Mountain country.
C o m i n g to the Deschutes
County hardboards are The Dal
les Indians and the Hermiston
Bulldogs. Friday night will see
the rapidly - developing Hermis
ton five facing Coach Chuck
Hudson's only once - beaten
Bruin aggregation, while Red
mond hosts an improving Indian
Dana trom me Danes.
' Redmond and Bend switch op
ponents Saturday night. The
Tribe must do battle with the
lava Bears, and Hermiston will
be In the Panthers' lair. There
Is no telling what the weekend
will bring.
Four Veterans
Hermiston Is good. The Bull
dogs are well experienced after
a bout or two with Walla Wal
la and Eisenhower High School
of Yakima, Wash. Hermiston
boasts four boys with a single
year of varsity experience.
They come in the form of a
6-1 center by the name of Gay
Ion Bush, 5-8 gunrds Jim Lynch
and Jack Thomas, plus another
guard, S-U Steve Trukosilz.
Seven other have JV experi
ence. The Dalles' Indians lack ex
perience. Quoth Rod Geier of
The Dalles Chronicle: "It could
be a long season for DHS coach
Don Martin."
Experience Small
He explains, "Only two of the
12 he (Martin) has designated
'varsity' have varsity experi
ence and they were starters only
part of the time last season."
The Dalles, however, finished
third in the IC loop in the spring
of 1963.
With this lack of combat ex
perience, the Indians may have
lo bank on their reservoir of
depth. There is a dangerous
tribesman or two, however, that
the Central Orcgoninns will
havo to watch.
They are guards Ken Ja
croux, this year's captain, and
junior Kay Kane, a competitor
who showed spurts of varsity
ability last year when he was a
sophomore. Tho Dalles started
tilings off by taking it on the
chin from Wy'cnst twice.
Last night they dropped a tilt
at McMinnville after soaring to
unprecedented heights and belt
ing the Grizzlies at home two
weeks ago.
Butts, Pokes on Road
Madras and Prlnevillc have
unenviable season openers. A
trek to tho Blue Mountain coun
try to commence league action
Is not what the doctor would or
der. Baker, In and out of the
list of the state's top ten teams,
affords a real obstacle. La
Grande Is nlwavs touch.
Coach Bob Allord's Buffs
face the Baker Bulldogs on Fri
day night, while tho Crook
County Cowboys try to get back
on the winning track at La
Grande. Saturday night, they
switch opponents. The Cowboys
then must face tho Bulldogs,
and Madras, the Tigers.
Defending champion Pendle
ton does a weekend solo against
Mac Hi of Milton Freewater.
On the mat card, the Central
Oregon Champion Redmond
Panthers will face Madras' Im
proved Buff m a t m e n . The
White Buffaloes of Coach Dan
Lever then turn around Satur
day afternoon and host the
ft
Sports Editor
Burns Highlanders.
Cats Strong
Redmond looms as a heavy
favorite to take the Buffs. The
Saturday affair between Ma
dras and Burns rates a tossup.
Saturday will see the Bend
Lava Bears, mid-state tourney
runnerups, doing battle in a
pair of dual meets at The Dal
les. Bend faces The Dalles' In
dians and the Mac Hi Pio
neers. Prineville's Cowboys, knocked
from the Central Oregon top
rung by Redmond, are Idle.
First 1964 mat action for the
Cowboys comes Friday, Janu
ary 10, when they host The Dal
les. Coach Bill Yingling's bone
benders, though dethroned, still
loom as possible district cham
pions. They rate heavy favor
ites to take the Indians.
MORE ABOUT SHRINE
PLAYERS
Last Friday night saw Bend's
Shrine club pay tribute to Bend
High School's 12 contributions
to the annual Shrine battle in
Portland.
Memories were shared,' ex
ploits (past and present) were
lauded, yet nouung was men
tioned of exactly what each one
did in the particular Shrine
game they played.
Thanks to note-taking by Mr.
Photographer, Nate Bull, and
considerable research by our
junior morgue digger Mike
Stahlbeig, here Is some poop,
at least, on what some of them
did.
In 1948, the first game, Wes
Hogland, a guard, and Bill
Shenold, a back, played every
quarter. Hogland started the
contest, state beat Y ortland, 35
13. Dick Sutherland of The Dal
les was coach.
Set Up Two
Sheffold set up two touch
downs on a pass interception
and a four-yard gallop that
wound up Vi yard short of pay
dirt. Future Oregon State and
Washington Redskin ace Sam
Baker carried it over from
there.
In 1949, Doug (brother of
Wes) Hogland, a tackle, and
Phil Gillis, fullback, started the
game. State, however, lost 19-0.
In 1952, tuture Willamette star
Dean Benson started at left end
and was a veritable bearcat all
evening. State won 12-6.
Boardman Runs Wild
In 1953, Bend sent Bill
Baer, Jr., Chuck Austin and
Miles Boardman all in one
package. Boardman was one of
the leading ground gainers, rip
ping off 91 yards in 13 carries.
He scored a touchdown and was
named State's outstanding back.
State won 12-6.
In 1956, Ron Anderson saw
plenty of action at end and de
fensive tackle. Bill Pcderson
played center and linebacker
when State lost to Metro in
1961.
Jim Dexter, Bend's heralded
1961 halfback, did most of the
punting for State in the 1962
fracas. Mate lost again, how
ever.
Last August (1963) Bend's
Jim Leagjeld, though not a
starter, boomed nine yards for
State's final TD. State won this
time 27-0, for its first victory
since 1956.
Denver has lead
in WHL season
By United Press International
The Western Hockey League
is half-way through its season,
and so far Denver, Guyle Field
er, and Al Millar dominate the
proceedings.
Denver has a 24-9-2 record,
which gives the Invaders a sol
id 15-noint lead going into 1964
and the second half of play.
Millar, the Denver net-minder.
allowed only two goals in three
contests last week to cut his
over-all average to a remark
able 2.26 coals per game. Seat-
lie's Claude Dufour is a distant
second with a 3.09 mark.
To understand how this Is re
flected In team statistics, Den
ver has permitted only 81 goals
this season. Then comes Seat
tie's 106 and every other team
in Ihe league has surrendered
at least 122 tallies.
Larry Zicdel of Seattle sat
out last week's Ramos because
of a suspension, but his 113 min
utes in penalties still lead the
loop.
All teams were Inactive Mon
day night and also get New
Year's Eve off.
My
ROAD TRIP HOPE Ken Boster, a 6-1 junior forward, will
carry some of the hopes for the Crook County Cowboys this
weekend when the locals face two toughies on the road. Fri
day night will see them in action at La Grande, and Saturday,
Baker. Madras faces the same pair on opposite nights.
UO today had
dopester's nod
EL PASO, Tex. (UPI) - The
Oregon Webfoots, averaging bet
ter than three touchdowns a
game for the past five years,
were a 3-point favorite today
when they met Southern Metho
dist in the 29th annual Sun
Bowl football game.
The regionally televised game
got a day's jump on the rest of
the New Year s day classics In
this sun splashed West Texas
town.
Oregon Coach Len Casanova
and SMU mentor Hayden Fry
put their squads through short
and sweet last minute workouts
Monday and then told them to
take It easy until the game.
The tilt shaped up as a clash
between the Oregon junior quar
terback Bob Berry's passing
and the evenly-balanced offense
and kicking game of the Mus
tangs. Berry ranked fifth nationally
in total offense and ninth in
passing. He will probably be
one of the best signal callers
the Mustangs have faced in
Billy Joe named
top 13 rookie
COATESVILLE, Pa. (UPD-
The big fellow, nibbing his
eyes from a mid-day nap,
blinked unbelievingly and then
blurted:
"Wow! Thanks a million!"
That's how Billy Joe of the
Denver Broncos, former Villa-
nova fullback, received the
news he was the United Press
International rookie of the year
in the American Football
League.
Joe smiled happily when he
heard that 16 of 24 AFL writers
named him as the league's top
rookie.
He was head and shoulders
and his 245 pounds over Dick
Westmoreland, San Diego de
fensive back who was named
on three ballots; linebacker
Bobby Bell of Kansas City and
defensive tackle Dave Costa of
Oakland with two votes each,
and offensive end Dave Graham
of Boston who received one
vote.
It was obviously a new ex
perience for Billy although
ho was voted the outstanding
back of the 1962 Liberty Bowl
and he began to tick off the
thank you's "My conch who
gave me the opportunity to
move in and was patient with
me, his patience, all of the
players, everybody who tried to
help me."
And when he finished, his
great enthusiasm for football,
and particularly professional
football, began to take over.
"1 really love It (professional
ball)," Billy bubbled. "It's so
very different from college
ball."

OSU wins 8th
PORTLAND, Ore. (UPI)
Oregon State's once-beaten Bea
vers today looked ahead to a
weekend series with Cincinnati
after capturing their eighth
straight Far West Classic bas
ketball championship Monday
night.
The Beavers posted their 10th
win In 11 starts and sixth
straight victory by coming from
behind to defeat Brigham
Young 68-58 in the finals of the
classic before a record crowd of
13,012 persons.
Oregon State, which now has
won 21 straight games in taking
the tournament every year since
its start in 1956, plays Cincin
nati here Friday night and at
corvallis, ore., Saturday night.
The Bearcats walloped the
Beavers 80-46 in the NCAA semi
finals last winter.
Counts MVP
Seven-foot Mel Counts scored
24 points and collected 16 re
bounds for Oregon State against
Brigham Young. He was voted
the most valuable player in the
four-day, eight-team tourna
ment. But the Beavers' victory
didn't come easily and not un
til 6-8 center John Fairchild of
the Cougars fouled out.
Brigham Young was ahead by
11 points in the second half and
held a 49-39 lead when Fairchild
was called with his fifth foul
with 12:07 left to play.
Oregon State then outscored
the Cougars in the next seven
minutes to take a 55-51 lead and
never was headed.

NEW YORK (UPI) - The
