Saperstein, in signing the Surf Riders to tour with the Globetrotters, wrote an extra bonus of S10 into the contract for each Hawaiian for each night the Surf Riders could win The bonus has been such an in centive that the Surf Riders are winning about one in every four games from the Globetrotters. Plenty of Punch Coach Arthur Kim has as sembled an array of Surf Riders that packs plenty of punch. It's an aggregation of speed, clever floormen and top shooters that could wallop many a leading quintet. Kim has Chinese-American Donald Ho. six feet three inches and playing his third season with the club; Franklin Muramo to, 5-7, Japanese-Hawaiian, also a third year man; Ronald Kim, 5-11, Portuguese-Spanish-Korean and Hawaiian and fourth year member; Taddy Song, six foot Korean-Hawaiian, whose debut for Kim last year was outstand ing, and a good new man in Hal Chartrand, 6-3, Hawaiian. The five have been sensation al in Hawaiian basketball circles either at the University of Ha waii or in the fast high school basketball circle, before becom ing Surf Riders and have im proved considerably ever since. Annual trips to the mainland and one each to Europe and South America as opponents of the Globetrotters-have brought their basketball education to the stage where they are well ver sed in all the tricks of the trade. Besides, Kim has some of the finest mainland stars in Harvey Babetch, 6-3, former Bradley 'University ace who still holds the Chicago high school scoring record of 87 points in a single game while playing for Von Steuben high school, and the equally-tall Jack Davidson, a pro veteran who starred for three years on the varsity of UCLA.

Committee OKs Resolution Klamath Falls '(U.R) The state advisory committee for the Oregon Technical Institute yes terday approved a resolution re questing legislation which will spell the authority of the State Board of Education with regard to the operation of OTI. The committee also voted to support an OTI budget request for $4,772,000 to enable the in stitution to continue operation without curtailing present stan dards of instruction or enroll ment. Although the committee did not take specific action to estab lish the future status of OTI the rough draft of the bill which the committee endorsed by resolu tion implied approval of contin uing the authority of the State Board of Education over the in stitution. Proposals have been made to take the school out of the jurisdiction of the state board department of vocational education or to transfer all au thority to the State Board of Higher Education. O. I. Paulson, director of vo cational education, declared that transfer of authority to the Board of Higher Education would "sound the death knell for further vocational develop ment." He said the board of higher education is designed for more general education than is provided for vocational and technical schools.
