The win was the third In as many starts for the Pilots Oregon bounced back from its Friripy night drubbing by the Pilots to outrun and out rebound a much taller University of Texas outfit and post a 65-64 upset. The Portlanr? win over Ore gon 'State was a thriller. The Pilots had to overcome an 11 point deficit in the second half wrapped up the decision when Wally Panel, Portland sopho more, stole the ball with 26 seconds left on the clock and stalled out their one point ad vantage.

Shasta Talent Talent high hoopmen, taking an early lead, subdued Mt. Shasta 38 to 33 Saturday niaht in a fracas in the Cali fornia community. The Bulldogs of Oregon had period edges of 12 to 4, 22 to 14 and 31 to 22. Fred Helm of Tal ent was high point man with 16. Talent played without the services of Bob Hoffman and Coach' George Bray used Gary Combs only sparingly. Hoffman suffered a broken nose and Combs a turned ankle in the Friday ruckus with Prospect. Jerry Baer and Ron Weinhold filled the two places in the line up and turned in good jobs. The California jaunt wound up a busy week for Talent ath letes. There were three varsity, three jayvee and one freshmen games and a football banquet. Bill Dellinger Arrives Home Springfield. Ore. (U.R) Bill Dellinger, distance runner from the University of Oregon and recent entry for the United States in the Olympic games at Melbourne, Australia, returned to his home here over the week end. The 22-year-old Oregon run ner will report to the air wing of the ROTC at the university in a few days for duty. He prob ably will remain on the campus with the unit until early next year, when he will report for flight training and three years of service. Dellinger said he believed he learned a great deal from watch ing the world's top distance run ners in action during the Olym pics and expressed the hope that he can continue with his run ning during his time in the serv ice. Also on his mind already was a shot at making the 1960 Olympic squad. McMurtry Bout Choice Portland (U.R!

Stark Finance Co. 2739 No. 99, Medford Phone 3-1817 $ $ $ $ $ $$ $ $ $ $ $ Olympic -Ramblings By BILL BOWERMAN U of O Track Coach Sydney, Australia, Dec. 6 As usual, when I think of things athletic, the thought occurs that it will probably be several days old when the flyways deliver. The idea also comes up that cov erage may be rather meager. Wednesday night it was the U.S. vs. British Empire track meet. If it were a straight deal, it would not be much of a con test. Every event . is a team event. For example, the 400 meter hurdles was the total time of three hurdlers for each team. The U.S. can thus win 16 of 21 events and the Empire Is much more in the thick of the contest than if the score was-131 to 19. The four-mile relay had our Bill Dellinger running. He was running in his mile leg against a 3:42 man in the 1500 meters and took the baton five yards back. Red ran 58 the first lap to Bill's 60. The second was 63 for N.Z. and Bill a 61, which put him back at five yards. The Em pire man turned in a 61 last lap but Bill made it in 60 for an all even and just over 4:04. I am sure it gave Will a big boost. Shortcomings I have thought so much about America's shortcomings in races from 1500 meters on up, and made sd many notes on it, that I feel I must have reported some of these thoughts. I have tre mendous confidence in the young men ef America in gen eral, and Oregon in particular. That is the only credit I can give our distance program. Our debit, or shortcomings, are: (1) Lack of competition at longer distances; (2) stopping competition before full maturity is reached; (3) too many automo biles; (4) I hate to admit this, but our coaching has not been as thorough and well-planned as it might be. The (Olympic) audience of 100,000 to 150,000 each day was tremendously appreciative here. It has been only since Pete Mun dle, of six years ago, that Ore gon fans began to get over the idea that the first seven laps of a two-mile should be run under the stands. Appreciation Grows The thousands who came to Eugene last Labor day attest to the keen appreciation that has grown in Oregon. The press here devoted not a page, but a sec tion every day to the competi tion. I am confident that Oregon boys are getting better and more thorough coaching each year. Headed by such able people as Bob Newland (Medford high; coach) who has clearly demon strated his outstanding ability, coaches are producing better re sults each year. Among the other fine coaches are George Rasmussen, Bill Soresly, ' Denny Sullivan, Russ Werner (Grants Pass), Frank Schriver, Walt McClure, Don Bryant and Bud Robertson, to name a few. The state of Oregon can expect finer and better com petition in track and field. The best is none too good. Mick's Toga Confirmed Chicago (U.R) Statistical evidence of Mickey Mantle's one man wrecking crew job on Amer ican league pitchers was provid ed today. The official figures, released by the AL, and compiled by the Howe Bureau, confirmed the young New York Yankee slug ger as the first triple crown win ner in the circuit in 10 years. In addition, they showed that Mickey led the league's sluggers in no fewer than five depart ments. Mantle won the triple crown by taking the batting champion ship with a .333 figure, leading in homers with 52 and driving in 130 runs for the top mark in that department. Mantle is the first American leaguer to win the triple crown since 1947 when Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox hit .342, cracked 32 homers and drove in 114 runs. Mantle also led the circuit this year in runs scored, with 132, and in total bases, with 376. Sports Bulletin Chicago UR) Mrs. Grace B. Comiskey, president of the Chicago White Sox, was found dead at home early today.

The Rebels without a doubt earned the title in the hard fought bowl classic Saturday. It marked the first time since 1953 that Compton lost a game. The Californians not only had their win streak, one of the long est in junior college football, snapped at 35 games but tum bled from their long reign as Junior Rose Bowl victors. Baker Reluctant As Field Goaler Washington (U.R) Halfback Sam Baker, whose field goal in the last 25 seconds gave the Washington Redskins a 19-17 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday, didn't want to learn place-kicking when the season began "because they might fire me if I miss."
