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,"

Prineville's basketball victory
over visiting Mac Hi last Satur

of the season may have been
good for the Cowboys, but it put
the Intermountain Conference in
a state of confusion.
Earlier wins by Madras and

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

By process of elimination, one
should rise and two should fall.

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

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

Uclans 'handled' Stanford
with 'quick press' punch
By United Press International
"They're so quick. 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."

UCLA, No. 1,

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.

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

Nevada as the Pilots hit 51 per

solid 9-5 record after a shaky
start.

Pension fund row in NBA nearly
broke anew upon players' threat
NEW YORK. (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

The commissioner then said
the players asked for a meet
