Prep Prattle
Putting the Winter Carnival

ketball teams in the Class A-l
Intermountain loop are on the
road.
Friday night finds this lineup:
Bend is at Baker, Redmond at
La Grande, Madras at Pendle

Freewater. This bevy of delightful activity
Is augmented by more prep
basketball. The mid-state Class

against teams from elsewhere,
Friday night it's Maupin at
Sisters, Dufur at Culver, and
Merrill at Gilchrist. All seven
of these prep basketball games
are conference battles in their
respective leagues.
Wrestling
That's not all. . .there's wres
tling, too.
Friday night finds La
Grande's matmen at Bend and
The Dalles at Madras. Red
mond is at Prineville.
Saturday night things turn
about, and the schedule is al
Grande, Redmond at Baker,
Madras at Milton - Freewater,
and Prineville at Pendleton.
Class B: Sisters hosts Mar-
cola and Culver is at Cascade
Locks. Wrestling action sees
the defending champion Prine
ville wrestlers in a double dual
meet situation at Klamath
Falls. Prineville faces Henley in
the afternoon and Klamath Un
ion in the evening. Redmond
hosts La Grande.
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.

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."

Visiting tourney teams are
quints of no mean talent.
Springfield's E a r n a Steelers

Also in the lineup is John Mack,
a reserve for Oregon last year
and a track man.
Walla Walla, Wash., Jaycees,
Angeles State.
In action Thursday night, two
of the at-large picks in the
Western NCAA regional tourna
ment put on a whale of a show
at Logan, Utah.
Seattle broke a 22-game Utah
State home court win streak
with a 96-94 win. Both teams
emerged from the game with
18-4 records.
Greg Vermillion had 22 for
Seattle, L. J. Wheeler 17 and
John Tresvant and Charlie Wil
liams 15 apiece. But it was
Peller Phillips' driving lay-up
with 1:20 to go that gave the
Chiefs perhaps their biggest win
since they upset Oregon State.
Santa Barbara, an unofficial
member of the West Coast Ath
letic Conference this year, in
creased its season record to
16-8 by edging Pepperdine, 87-
85. Roland Betts had 27 for the

with 20 apiece.
Art Crump is back with the
Idaho State team after winning
his battle with the books and
the hotshot scored 31 in leading

Bill Wilson had 32 for the Zags.
In the Evergreen Conference
tournament, It was Whitworth
93 Central Washington 89 and
Eastern Washington 69 Puget
Sound 62.
Should any other team other
than conference champ Pacific
Lutheran win the tourney, it
will meet the Lutes in a two-of-

HEPPNER, Ore. (UPI) - Six

three regulars, have been sus

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
