OTI Owls Strengthen OCC Cage Command by Beating Southern Oregon 77 to 61 Ashland Oregon Technical Institute strengthened it posi tion at the front of the Oregon Collegiate conference basketball chase here last night by thrash ing Southern Oregon college 77 to 61. It was the fourth victory against two defeats in the OCC for the Owls. Southern Oregon fell into a second place knot with Eastern Oregon. The Raid ers are four and four in the loop and the Mounties of EOC three and three. Action was close through the first 10 minutes of the ruckus but then OTI combined defen- Pittsburgh Signs Face At Increase By UNITED PRESS No Pittsburgh player is being asked to take a salary cut this year and a choice few, like little Elroy Face, the workhorse of the Pirates' bullpen, are receiv ing whopping big raises. The 5 foot, 8-inch right-hander signed his 1957 contract today after earning a nice boost for his work last season. The 155-pound forkballer, who picked up that pitch from ex-Yankee Joe Page when he had a brief fling with Pittsburgh, won 12 games and lost 13 last year in addition to saving eight other victories. General Manager Joe L. Brown of the Pirates has said there will be no pay cuts this year and that several players will receive raises. Face worked pretty hard for his. He set a new record for the Pittsburgh club by appearing in 68 games and set a major league record for consecutive appearances when he pitched in nine straight games. Purkey Signs Contract Right-hander Bob Purkey, who had a 6-8 record with Holly wood of the Pacific Coast league also signed with the Pirates, giving them a total of 23 play ers already under contract. The St. Louis Cardinals report ed 33 players under contract and only nine more to go with the signing of pitchers Jim Davis, Gary Blaylock and Tom Cheney. Davis, a left-handed knuckle baller acquired from the Cubs last month and since sought by the Dodgers, had a 5-7 record .with Chicago and a .368 earned run average. Blaylock had an 8-5 record with Rochester of the International league while Cheney, 'a well thought-of 22-year-old righthander compiled 10 victories and five losses with Omaha of the American Associa tion. Giants Sign Gomes Pitcher Ruben . Gomez and Johnny McCall and first base man Gail Harris all returned their signed contracts to the New York Giants, thereby giv ing the Polo Grounders 20 men accounted for this year. Gomez, who had a 7-17 record, may be dealt before the start of the season. McCall had a 3-4 record and Harris, who will get first shot at first base now that Jackie Robinson has quit baseball, hit .270 at Minneapolis. Spunky Don Zimmer and rookie catcher Herb Olson were the 29th and 30th members of the Dodgers to agree to terms. Zimmer was on the involuntar ily retired list after being beaned last June 23 and will be trying a comeback. Olson batted .251 at Fort Worth last sive backboard control and a fast break with hot shooting on the part of John Rhine, Jerry Fasteen and Ted Fischer to take command in the tussle. Southern Oregon tried and had its spurts but couldn't get together a seri ous challenge. Seven Deadlocks Score was tied seven times In the opening 10 minutes of the game as both clubs were cold and erratic. With 1014 minutes gone in the mix Fasteen plunked in a tip-in that made it 16 to 14 and the Owls were on top for keeps. Rhine followed with two field goals and got four free shots. Fasteen put in three from the field and Fischer two and Tru man Williams swished a pair of gift tosses to give the Techmen an 18 point lead at 36 to 18. Halftime score was 40 to 25. Southern Oregon kept the ac tion on an even scoring basis in the early part of the second half as Dale Bates and Norm Oliva collected three field goals each. Then the Owls began to pad their margin and, when John McCutcheon hit a jumper with 9V4 minutes contested in the half the OTI bulge was 22 points at 60 to 38. Raiders Fire Up The Red Raiders of the Rogue sparked up after two other gaps of 22 in their scrappiest and Warmest firing of the night. At this stage Bates sank a pair of long shots, Bill Hollingsworth two close-in buckets, a long jump and two free shots and John Foust a close-in bucket as the Raiders made headway against the OTI ball control game. Southern Oregon succeed ed in slicing its deficit to 11 counters at 67 to 56 but that's the nearest the Raiders could come to the Owls in the second half. Coach Wally Palmberg left his starting five in the tussle for three quarters of the game and each of the five scored in double figures. Williams was the big gun with 18 points and 22 re bounds. Fasteen also had 18 tal lies and Fischer 16. Oliva with 16 and Bates with 14 were the high SOC scorers. Bates hit seven field goals in 10 tries Oregon Tech shot a warm .411 average from the field and Southern Oregon .361. The Tech men fired .390 in the first half while the Raiders had a cool .220. Rebounding favored OTI in the game 51 to 45. Southern Oregon college won the jayvee opener 64 to 45. SPORTS OTI Wllliarru. f . Fasteen. f McCutcheon, Fischer. K ... Rhine, f Dorn FTOdt Allessio ..

The Vandals made the step by defeating the Cougars, 69-57, and took a spot percentage-wise with Southern California and Oregon in sixth place but Idaho's lodg ing is built on a pretty shaky loss column. The present standings are: California 5-0, UCLA 4-0, Wash ington 5-1, Oregon State 2-2, UO SWIMS CANCELLED Eugene (U.R) Athletic Director Leo Harris said today that a lack of interest had re sulted in cancellation of the 1957 swimming schedule for the University of Oregon.

Stanford 2-3, USC 1-3, Oregon 1-3, Idaho 2-6, and Washington State 1-5. There was only one game played in the California Basket ball association, too. The surprising Fresno State Bulldogs weren't able to add to their two-game win streak, but they came as close as they could. San Jose State held off a last minute scoring flurry to edge the Bulldogs, 77-75. Idaho took an early lead on Washington State, but the Cou gars tied it up 59-59 in the sec ond half with eight minutes re maining. Then guard Wahylen Coleman poured through 10 points in the remaining time to cinch the game for the Vandals. Schaefer Holds Beck Third string guard B. J. Schae fer of Idaho held PCC scoring ace Larry Beck to 13 points, while center Gary McEwen rolled up 17 for the Vandals. The San Jose-Fresno game wasn't distinguished for shoot ing accuracy as neither team hit for better than 35 per cent from the floor.
