In a helter skelter rough and tumble rat race,' which got out of control of the offi cials too much of the time, the Red Raiders of the Rogue outscrambled Oregon Techni cal Institute 64 to 55 before a jampacked crowd in the Southern Oregon pavilion. SOC wrested the OCC lead ership from the Owls to lead by a full game. Now, the Raid ers will sit back and watch with interest while the other four members of the circuit complete their season this Fri day and Saturday. OTI and Oregon college play at Klam ath Falls and Portland State and Eastern Oregon at La Grande.

Southern Oregon, after see saw early action, took the lead for keeps, vith minutes left in the first half. They had an eight-point 33 to 25 gap by the midway horn. In the second half the Red Raiders withstood an Owl pressing game by building up 15 and 17-point advantages. OTI double teaming tactics enabled SOC to flip the ball about and shake men loose for good chances at the hoop. The Raiders weren't always able to capitalize on the op portunities but did so suffi ciently to offset the challenges of the Owls. John Payne, Dick Smith, Insurance! New Volkswagen Six Passenger Pickup MORSE MOTORS 6th and Ivy, Medford Gordon Carrigan and Brad Flanary were big guns for the Raiders. Payne, using re bound and keyhole slot chances to make 10 out of 19 field goal tries, led evening scoring with 20 points. He pulled down 15 rebounds. Smith collected 21 rebounds and Carrigan and Flanary flicked in 15 and 13 points, respectively. SOC Board Control Charlie Wilson's 14 count ers, eight of them on 10 free toss tires, were high for the Owls. Paul Layher retrieved the ball 17 times from the backboard from the Klamath Falls team. OTI was tough on the boards in the early going but for the full conflict, SOC had 70 to 41 control. The Raiders outgoaled the Owls 23 to 17 from the field and beat them in firing average .383 to .262. Smith and Flanary of SOC and Troy Koontz of Tech all fouled out of the fracas. Carri gan managed to keep in ac tion throughout the final half although he had four infrac tions tooted in the first. Lead in the combat had switched hands six times be fore a Flanary hook shot gave the Raiders front position for good at 20 to 19. Six free shots after that helped the Raiders establish their half time spread. Edge Cut to Five With TVz minutes played in the second half SOC had run up a 15-point margin of 44 to 29. But, with three gifters and two field buckets, the Owls cut the difference to eight points at 44 to 36 in a little over a minute's time. SOC had a 49 to 40 gap with 9J2 minutes left in the tussle. Van Zitek's long pusher and Norm Oliva s corner bucket for the Owls brought the KF club within five points at 49 to 44. Eight minutes were left to play.

This is Stengel's 12th year as boss-man of the once-proud Yankees, during which time he has led them to nine pen nants and seven world cham pionships. It also could be Ole Case's final fling.

He's Dave Jenkins, three- time world champion in the men's figure skating. His brother, Hayes Alan Jenkins the husband-to-be won a gold medal for the U.S. in the event in the Winter Olympics at Cortina, Italy, back in 1956. Carol did her bit toward making it all a happy family. Now it's up to Dave to keep the family happy. He is an overwhelming favorite in the event, which will not be con cluded until Friday. Double-Medal Winner While Carol was a heroine in the United States, Russia had another version: Lidija Skoblikova, a 21-year-old So viet student who became the first double-gold medal win ner of the games. Miss Skobli kova won the 3000 - meters (about 2 miles) speed skating crown Tuesday to add to the 1500 - meter title she took earlier.

I lf0 M i rf PRIZE-WINNING FORM Carol Heiss of New York displays her prize-winning form during free-style figures competition at the eighth Winter Games at Squaw Valley. Miss Heiss, three times world champion, was the medal in the games. Sport Parade Squaw Valley - (UPD - The glamour girl of the Winter Olympic Games complained today that she had lost her "oomph" but even so she couldn't help winning for los ing. Pretty Penny Pitou, a lan guage student from Middle bury College, wasn't upset be cause her little snub nose was red from a "cold to end all cold." What hurt was she had lost her "zip." Twice now in the ladies downhill which she was fav ored to win and in the giant slalom she has wound up a barely beaten second. But beaten she was, in the latter event by a mere one-tenth of a second. Title Almost Hers Yet, barring a fall in Fri day's slalom skiing, the pony tailed blonde even with those two second places has vir tually wrapped up the world Alpine combined champion ship. This isn't an Olympic title, which marriage-bound Penny wants so badly. It's awarded by the International Ski Fed eration for the best aggregate performances in the three big Olympic Alpine events. And with her two conquerers far ing poorly in their respective second events it left Penny in a class by herself for the world Alpine combined bar ring accidents. And the U.S. women's team has had more than it share of them. Fractures Collarbone The comely Linda Meyers cracked up in Tuesday's giant Prices On Tires Increased!
