SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) Oregon Tech Dumps SOC Raiders 68-40 Klamath Falls im Ore gon Tech spoiled Southern Oregon's perfect Oregon Col legiate Conference basketball record with a resounding 63 40 victory here Tuesday night. The OTI win gave it a 5-1 conference record to 7-1 for the league leading Red Raid ers. Big thorn in Southern Ore gon's side was Chuck Bogle, the 6-9 Owl center who East Wins Star Game ' r St. Louis HP Bob Pettit : won the most valuable player trophy, but the Bob Cousy- sparked East All-Stars proved once again that it takes a ; team effort even to win an : all-star game. : Pettit's superb 28-point, 26- - rebound performance was not - enough to prevent the East - from achieving a come-from-: behind 130-118 victory over ; the West Tuesday night in the National Basketball associa tion all-star game. The St. Louis star's scoring and rebounding totals both were records for the NBA classic, as was the 248-point total produced by both teams. Superior Balance But in the end it was the East's superior balance and the "clutch" second-half shooting of Cousy that en abled the East to score its sixth triumph in the eight games that have been played. The East stars won despite a sub-standard performance '.by Bill Russell of the Celtics, who was hampered by an . ankle injury. Russell did not score a field goal until the fourth minute , of the second half, made only "11 points in all and had little success in his efforts to stop the jump-shooting Pettit. The six-foot-10 Celtics center ; picked up five fouls midway through the third period and missed the greater part of the -second half.

It was the second straight year the Phillies nicked into a salary that once reached $50,000 and the 30-year-old righthander readily said "we didn't argue this time" in the face of his 10-22 record last season, which was his worst ever. Roberts, who drew about $45,000 last year, was cut ap proximately 16 per cent to the vicinity of, $37,500. The Phillies were allowed to slash Roberts 25 per cent under the rules but club pres ident Robert M. Carpenter said "that's not club policy." Carpenter added he would be delighted to restore the cut if the hard-working Rob erts has "a good year." Idaho's Simmons Leading PC Loop in Total Points Los Angeles a?)
