B-Ball Peept Fragmenting the sport dock et, the Sportslooker takes a peep at the basketball situation. Nothing but obstacles lie in the path of Central Oregon s in termountain quints Friday night. On the road and out of the picture, the locals will lose at least two of the four Friday night contests. Bend will fall to Baker by IS, Madras will be snowed by more than 20 at Pendleton. Some hope looms for Prineville and Redmond quints, but it isn't juicy. Redmond may have a chance at La Grande, but the conver sation down at the speak has La Grande by 5. P r i n e v i 1 1 e could do the job at Milton-Free-water. It's a tossup. Bend by 5 Then Saturday night, Bend is at La Grande and the local five should win this one. The Sportslooker likes Bend by S. Redmond will fall to Baker by 15, and Prineville will fall 20 short of Pendleton. Here again, the contest at Milton-Freewater is the stumbling block, Madras could do It, but host Mac-Hi right now looks like the choice. . .by 10, especially if Bruce Bennett and BUI Hopper are back in the Mao lineup. How about Class B roundball? Coffee cup sports viewers polled opinions, and the B-time ball looks lika this: Maupin by 10 over Sisters, but Culver by 15 over Dufur. Gilchrist will take Merrill under the rug by a point or two. Saturday, It looks like Culver will lose by 15 at Cascade Locks, and Sisters Will nip Mar cola by 1 at Sisters. Students . . .

Hearing set on BOSTON (UPI) Chapter umpteen possibly the conclu sion in the Charles O. Flnley baseball saga will be written here today when American League owners again meet to consider the plight of the Kan sas Uty Athletics. League President Joseph E. Cronin called all ten owners Flnley still included to the 10 a.m. EST "hearing" at the Sheraton-Plaza Hotel. He also invited representa tives from Kansas City and the attendance of every legal coun sel associated with either the league or its clubs. First and apparently the only item on the agenda was the failure of insurance man Flnley and Kansas City officials to reach agreement on a new lease for the Municipal Stadium the Athletics have been occupy ing for the past few seasons. The league underscored the Importance of the session when it ordered special police to serve as security guards at the entrances to the hearing room. Cronin gave some indication that the owners might not be ready to take over the Athlet ics' franchise when he called the meeting a "hearing" and said another meeting might be necessary. Flnley has repeatedly Insist ed the league cannot take his franchise from him and has backed this with the threat of legal action by hiring famed New York attorney Louis Nizer. That threat earned more than the usual weight since ma jor league baseball has long feared any major court tests of its unique position outside the anti-trust and monopoly laws because it is a "sport rather than a "business."

(UPI) - Six variety basketball players at Heppner High school, including three regulars, have been sus pended from the team in a dis ciplinary move. Coach Bob Cantonwine said the action came as a result of misconduct last week on a trip to John Day. He did not elabo rate. The coach added the action probably would cost the team a chance to make the grade to the state A-2 tournament. He did not identify the play ers, saying it would be obvious who they were when Heppner plays its next game. FURNACE TROUBLE?
