A LOOK AT SPORTS Belko had combination fo stop Counts, OSU m by Web Ruble Bulletin Sports Editor ' You've got to hand It to Steve Belko. ; Oregon's baksetball coach really knew what he was doing last Friday when his so - so Ducks beat the Oregon State Beavers, complete with Mel Counts. . Slow It down and clay like thunder. Who would have ever1 seriously believed that the Ducks could have done it to the groat Beavers. Regardless of the rivalry that exists between the two schools. . .the mere thought of the Ducks doing it to OSU this year was preposter ous. Counts Better Mel Counts, who in his senior year is half again as much as he has been in previous sea sons, wasn't enough. Usually, it is considered when you have a team with a man like Counts plus some other very capable basketballers, a so-so team just wouldn't be able to handle thorn. Until last Friday, no team had been able to. (No team of any calibre but tops.) Belko who has never had anything but praise for the 7-1 Counts had other ideas. They paid off. Oregon nipped the Beavers in the bud, 47-45. The low-scoring contest was in dicative of the kind of ball game it was. Oregon just was not about to come out and open it up against OSU. Other teams may have vowed the same tactics. But none of thorn put as much Into the task as did Belko and his Oregons . . .It paid off last Friday in a game that must have been the thriller of thrillers. First Half Similar Oregon Slate came back on Saturday night (as expected), but again the Ducks had the Beavers by four at halftimc. Counts just wouldn't quit, and neither would the Beavers. This time Oregon bit the dust In a valiant battle, 66-53. Question Should Beaver fans then be "outraged ' at the OSU "debacle," because Coach Slats Gill and his boys simplv wouldn't lake Oregon seriously? Answer No. There contin ues to exist a mystic unpredict ability about Oregon Oregon State matches. Nevertheless, one can hardly blame Beaver fans for being a little disgrunt- ica. Bear In mind, however, that the Beavers did bounce back the next night and put things closer to whore they belong. Counts poured in 38 counters. (Friday he was limited to 26.) Facts About Btlko Speaking of Belko, let's take a look at some of the facts sur rounding Oregon's controversial coach. Belko, a standout guard In his Brandis gets 47-45 After trailing 28-22 at half time, the Brandis Drug City League basketball team came back In the second half last night to nudge the Central Ore gon College fivp, 47-45. Though the collegians had three players hitting In the dou ble figures (Moor 13, Van t'itert 10 and Massey 12), it wasn't enough. Brandis Drug spread If playing days at Idaho, came to the Webfoots after six success ful seasons at Idaho State Col lege, which included a won-loss record of 108-52, four trips to the NCAA regional playoffs and four conference titles. Oregon's coach started his ca reer In 1950-51 at the helm of Idaho State and in two short seasons had the Bengals ready to move into top-flight competi j tion. His 1953 squad swept through the Kocky Mountain Conference with a perfect rec ord in 10 games, and in the fol lowing three seasons his teams won the title with nine wins in 10 starts. Belko is a firm believer of fitting his style of play to the material at hand, and it has paid dividends at both Idaho State and Oregon. Some of the large dissatisfac tion among Oregon fans the last few years has centered around Belko's inability to scrape up a good nucleus of basketballers. Oregon State, they have said, continues to snap up the cream of the Ore gon prep crop. These complaints have been followed by conclusions he would rather do the best with what he's got than go out and get the players. Perhaps there are some truths here: his Oregon teams haven't been as successful as those at Idaho State. Belko hasn't put together an outstand ing nucleus of basketballers, i.e. . . .one that runs over a period of years. Players some but certainly not all have had troubles "getting along" with him. Yet, after Friday night, you have still got to hand It to Steve Belko. He does rise to the oc casion. . .and in the most co lossal way. There's no greater shot to Duck morale than knocking off the Beavers in basketball when the Slats Gill men "have it," Portland nips Nevada, 104-74 VANCOUVER, Wash. (UPD Tom Nichols scored 21 nnlnls and Steve Anstett tallied 18 to lead the Portland Pilots to a 104-74 basketball victory over Nevada Monday night. The decision left the Pilots with a 9-5 record.

Earlier wins by Madras and Hermiston coupled with Prine ville's lop - sided win Saturday night has thrown the confer ence cellar into a three-way knot. Actually Eighth Or, if you want to look at it differently, it has tossed eighth place into a three-way dead lock. Madras, Prineville and Hermiston all have 1-4 win-loss records. Things at the top, however, were cleared by weekend ac tion. Pendleton continued Its winning ways on its road trip to Central Oregon. It nipped bom Madras and Pnneville. Pendleton heads the loop with a 5-0 record. Baker, though by a shade, is clearly in second place with a 5-1 mark. The Dal les follows with a 4-1. Bend and La Grande are knot ted for fourth place with three wins and three losses apiece. Mac Hi of Milton - Freewater is a shade ahead of Redmond with a 2-3 win-loss mark. Red mond is thus relegated to sev enth with a 2-4 docket. Action this weekend could clear things more, or throw the loop Into more chaos. The top is going to suffer this time. A showdown between Pendleton and Baker is developing. It may decide though only temporarily and not for good who is better. , .Baker's aggres sive Bulldogs or Pendleton's hot-shooting Buckaroos. Weekend action also will serve to bust up the bottom deadlock. All three swing into action against each other. Ma dras and Prineville travel to The Dalles and Hermiston. By process of elimination, one should rise and two should fall. Bend hosts Redmond in a Fri day night loner.

It was announced Monday that Carzo, 31, will continue to coach the offensive backfield and handle the over-all offense. Carzo was considered a strong candidate to succeed departed coacn Marv Levy. Then, when Ray Willsey got the job, many thought Carzo would take a job with a different school. He was known to have been approached by at least four other univer sities. But Carzo said Monday, "I wanted to remain at California all along.

The min ute you poke your nose out the dressing room door they start pressing you." That's how s h e 1 1 - shocked coach Howie Dallmar of Stan ford today summed up the great UCLA basketball team after the Bruins thumped the Cards twice last weekend. Stanford gave UCLA a real battle Friday night, but folded when UCLA broke the game open with 11 points in one min ute 25 seconds. Saturday, the Uclans boomed off to a 10-0 lead after the opening tip-off. "We didn't anticipate as well in the second game." said Dall mar. "Our first half Saturday was our worst of the year." But Dallmar took nothing away from the Bruins. "It's like five guys throwing right hands at you all at the same time. What an offensive punch. They can hurt you anywhere." "Those guards, Walt Hazzard UCLA, No. 1, has chance to remain 3 weeks NEW YORK (UPI)-Unbeat-en UCLA, enjoying the most comfortable lead of any top ranked college basketball team this season, was a strong can didate today to remain in first place for at least the next three weeks. Coach John Wooden's Bruins, who Monday were rated No. 1 by the United Press Interna tional Board of Coaches for the third consecutive week, get a boost from the schedule-arranger until Feb. 7. Wooden's speedballs will be busy in the classrooms with fi nal exams this week and won't return to the basketball court until Jan. 31 in the first of two strictly tune-up matches with small college neighbor, the San ta Barbara branch of the Uni versity of California. UCLA's next major college opponent is California, reo. 7. The top six teams in the standings remained unchanged from last week's rankings, but the top 10 did welcome its first new member in a month, Wich ita, in eighth. Villanova ad vanced from 10th to seventh. UCLA received 32 of the 35 first-place votes and boosted its point total to 346, just four points short of a perfect 350. Kentucky, ranked fourth, re ceived two ballots for the No. 1 spot and Davidson, only a point behind Kentucky in fifth, was awarded the other. 9 cent par gallon for regular gal Lake mush on weekend slate down the old Sisters wagon road, to a point north and east of here, and then return to Hoo doo for the finish. Oregon team owners who will compete include, Christ Chris tensen, Jefferson; Bill Muller, Tangent; James Keller, Sisters; Eugene Leist, Oregon City, and Richard Wooten, Medford. Last year's winner, Gary Tuesday, January 21, 1964 and Gail Goodrich, are amaz ing. I don't know where you could find two better," he said of the UCLA pair who now stand one-two in the Big Six scoring race. Are the Bruins likely to go all the way in the NCAA? "They sure are," Dallmar replied. He was asked if the Bruins could be derailed from the Big Six title. The Bruins are now 6-0 with California (5-1) the only team left with a chance of wresting the title from them. The two teams meet Feb. 7-8. Dallmar said California could possibly win it "but it will take pretty near perfect basketball. The only way anybody is going to stop them is to control the tempo for all 40 minutes." UCLA was also again saluted by the UPI board of coaches, who rated the Bruins as the na tion's top team. The Coast had two other teams on the top 20 In Oregon State (14-3), No. 10 and Stan ford (9-4), No. 20. Cage action is light along the West Coast this week, since most teams are between semes ters, but Stanford will be at Oregon State for a pair this weekend which could knock one team out of the nation's elite. The West has another good candidate for national honors, however, In Seattle (10-2) which hosts Dayton tonight in a big test. In action Monday night, Port land rolled to a 104-74 win over Nevada as the Pilots hit 51 per cent of their shots and five men scored 14 or more. Portland de feated the Wolfpack, 7f66, Sat urday night and has built up a solid 9-5 record after a shaky start. Westminster downed Nevada Southern, 84-82, in overtime at Las Vegas to snap the losers' home court win streak at 15 games. Nevada Southern is 11-3 for the year. ID Note the capital B.

(UPI)-The pen sion feud between the National Basketball Assosiciation and its players broke open again Mon day when Commissioner Walter Kennedy said the league's All Stars nearly struck despite a written guarantee that their proposals would be presented to NBA owners. Kennedy, detailing his ac count of what happened in Bos ton last Tuesday, said he made the guarantee at a meeting with Boston's Tom Heinsohn, president of the players associ ation, and a player committee composed of Tom Gola, New York; Guy Rodgers, San Fran cisco; and John Kerr, Philadel phia. The commissioner said he met with Heinsohn and the committee in his hotel room for more than an hour Jan. 14 and the players told him they had approved a pension plan designed in 1961 by Fred Zoll ner, owner of the Detroit Pis tons. Zollner is chairman of the players' pension committee. When the players approved the plan, Kennedy said he and Zollner agreed to "reinstate this at the next meeting of the board of governors.

"I indicated that if there was not full representation at our next scheduled meeting in Feb ruary, it would definitely be placed on the agenda at the an nual meeting to take place around May 1." The commissioner then said the players asked for a meet ing with the league owners in the dressing room before game time and demanded that six owners sign a document ap proving the plan. The owners refused to meet with the players and at 8:25 p.m. Kennedy said he met with the players in the locker room. "I indicated very strongly that I had put in writing a commitment to place the mat ter of the proposed player pen sion plan on the agenda of the next meeting and that I intend ed to keep the commitment," Kennedy said. The players then held a closed meeting and agreed to play the All-Star game.
