Ashland - Southern Oregon
completed its Oregon Col
legiate conference basketball
campaign last night certain
of no less than a tie for the
1960 championship.
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.
Portland State's Vikings
gained a second place tie with
Oregon Tech last night by
trouncing Oregon college 92
to 39 at Monmouth.
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.

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.
"In the next 5Vi minutes
Payne put in a tip in shot and
hit the hoop twice from the
key slot, Carrigan pushed a
goal in from the side, Glen
Peterson hit from under the
hoop when the Owls forgot
about him and Flanary sank
two free shots. Southern Ore
gon led by 17 points at 61 to
44.
Tech put together three
free shots on personal and
technical fouls on Flanary
with four long range field
shots to cut the deficit in the
final minutes.

Olympic Medal
Vow Fulfilled
By Yank Miss
B7 LEO. H. PETERSEN
UPI Sports Editor
Squaw Valley - (UPD - Two
years ago Carol Heiss' moth
er was dying in Ozone Park,
N.Y.
Tears streaming from her
light brown eyes, Carol, only
18 then, promised her:
"I'll win the Olympic gold
medal in 1960."
She fulfilled that death-bed
promise Tuesday.
And now she hopes they
won't call the baker's daugh
ter "a snob" any more.
- The promise stemmed from
Carol's defeat by Tenley Al
bright, her teammate, in the
Winter Olympics at Cortina,
Italy in 1956.
Carol had won the 1956
world championship in Ger
many. Then she was upset by
Tenley for the Olympic gold
medal.
Branded A "Snob"
A year later, at St. Moritz,
Switzerland, where Carol won
the world champion ship
j again, she was branded "a
snob by some because sne
moved out of the hotel where
the rest of the U.S. team was
staying.
Jut the rest of the team
didn't know that her mother
was seriously ill at the time
and that the room was too
cold.
National Track
Project Seeks
Novice Entry
Washington, D.C.-Operation
Fitness -USA has announced
that a nationwide track and
field project which seeks to
attract mass novice participa
tion of youth is to be imme
diately launched in 50 states
of the nation.
Mutual of Omaha and
Sports Illustrated of New
York City have joined with
the American Association for
Health, Physical Education
and Recreation to provide
needed support for the proj
ect. This project is one of sev
eral others now being stimu
lated by Operation Fitness
USA through close coopera
tion and coordination with
President Eisenhower's Coun
cil on Youth Fitness. Dr.
Shane MacCarthy and his
staff have worked closely
with AAHPER-NEA to make
this track and field program
a reality.
To Involve Millions
The new project is design
ed to involve millions of
American children and youth
in local track and field clinics,
and many opportunities for
competition and participation
in track and field events.
Local high school and col
lege track coaches and health
leaders will offer clinics for
youngsters and for teachers
and leaders who desire in
creased skills and techniques.
Several types of track and
field meets will be planned
in local communities under
the leadership of local school
and community leaders. All
events have been carefully se
lected to comply with youth
needs of growth and develop
ment. The program is nationwide
in scope, but will stimulate
participation at the local
school-community level.
Yanks Hitting
Comeback Trail
By TIM MORIARTY
United Press International
This is the day the New
York Yankees hit the come
back trail.
Manager Casey Stengel,
still trying to forget the Yan
kees' shocking third-place fin
ish in last year's American
league race, mustered his
pitchers and catchers at St.
Petersburg, Fla., for the start
of spring training.
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. Some baseball
men already are hinting that,
win or lose, the 68-year-old
off-season California banker
will retire at the end of the
1960 season.
LAST BALL TOSSED
Brooklyn, N.Y.-flJPD-They're
tossing a ball at Ebbets field
today -the last they'll ever
have at the old home of the
Brooklyn Dodgers. The occa
sion marks the beginning of
the end for the 43-year-old
structure because the ball is a
100-ton demolition device
which will reduce it to a pile
of rubble. New York City's
biggest apartment building is
schedule to rise on the site.
MECHANICS NEEDED
Washington - The U.S. air
force has a current shortage
of about 40,000 aircraft me
chanics.

Squaw Valley - (UPD - Carol
Heiss won the United States'
first gold medal in the Winter
Olympic Games and today the
brother of the man she plans
to marry went out after a
second glittering medallion.
- Fulfilling a death - bed
promise to her mother, the 20-year-old
blonde from the side
walks of New York won the
"ladies" figure skating cham
pionship and turned the
chores over to a slender little
guy, her brother-in-law to be.
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.
The other winners Tuesday
were:
Yvonne Ruegg, a young
Swiss secretary who added to
the heart-breaks of Penny
Pitou of Laconia, N.H., as she
won the women's giant sla
lom. And Hakon Brusveen, a
Norwegian long-shot who up
set the great Sixteen Jernberg
of Sweden to win the 15 kilo
meter (about 9 miles) cross
country ski race.
While Russia was making a
run-away of the race for the
unofficial team title - the So
viets had 104 points to runner-up
Germany's 49, wife
United States in third with 39
- the U.S. had a field day in
the ladies' figure skating.

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.
