Oregon Tech Rallies To Trip Red Raiders , Ashland - Oregon Tech, trailing by as much as 10 points, rallied in the closing minutes to score a thrilling 65-87 come-from-behind win over the fading Southern Ore gon college Red Raiders in an Oregon Collegiate conference basketball tussle here Tuesday night. Defeat for the Raiders gave them a 4-4 record in OCC standings while victory for the Techman boosted their league mark to 3-3. In other conference activity Tuesday night the league-leading Portland State Vikings (5-1), handed cellar - dwelling Oregon Cpllege (0-6), a 57-45 defeat. Southern Oregon had a 10 point margin on three differ ent occasions in the second half, but a murderous Owl rally after the third 10-point difference at 53-43 with 6:34 remaining in the game was too much and the Raiders Tarheels Not To Be In Tourney Chapel Hill, N.C. -IUPD- The University of North Carolina was granted permission to withdraw from the Atlantic Coast conference's champion ship basketball tournament in March, but there was .growing speculation today that the na tion's fourth-ranked team may have been penalized. Earlier this month, North Carolina was placed on one year's probation and barred from championship tourna ments by the NCAA council. Reports both here and in Greensboro indicated that Jim Weaver, ACC commissioner, apparently investigated the "violations" for which North Carolina was put on probation by the NCAA and penalized the Tarheels too. But neither Weaver nor university officials offer e d any comment on the confer ence's action to permit North Carolina to withdraw from the ACC post-season tourney. The ACC's executive com mittee met in Greensboro Tuesday to consider "internal matters" but Dr. J. T. Penney of South Carolina, who acted as chairman, said flatly "we have no comment." 1 ' But the internal matter was believed to be in regard to the North Carolina basketball case. Sievers Grabs At Chance for $37,000 Salary By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Roy Sievers hollered "I'll take it" -and did -in what amounted to the most spec tacular $37,000 catch ever made before a dinner aud ience. All this came about Mon day night in Chicago where White Sox President Bill Veeck was making a speech before a gathering of sport ing goods salesmen. Sievers was there because he repre sents a sporting goods firm. Veeck said he knew Sievers was in the audience but that he had not had a chance to talk with him privately about signing his 1961 contract. During his speech, Veeck recalled the days when both he and Sievers were with the St. Louis Browns. He pointed out raises never exceeded $100 or $200 in those days. 'Things Have Changed' "But now things have changed," he went on. "We talk in terms of thousands. For Instance, I am ready to offer Sievers $2,000 more than my original offer for 1961." That's when Sievers made his move. Jumping up from his chair, he shouted, "I'll take it!" Veeck, never missing a cue, "Fine, see me later." After the speech-making was over, the two met pri vately and Sievers, who led the White Sox with 29 home runs last season, agreed to terms calling for the estimated $37,000. The question, of course, was whether the novel agree ment to terms wasn't all care fully rehearsed beforehand. Veeck claimed It was spon taneous. Maybe so, but it was the first time on record that the normally quiet Sievers ever got up to break in on a speaker. Ordinarily, the only time Roy Jumps up to yell like that would be if his house was on fire.

Oregon Tech's 6-7 Sammy Smith sparked the Owl come back at the 6:34 mark as the home team suddenly turned ice-cold and went without a point for the next four min utes. Smith hit a jumper and two free throws and Bob Cumiford added a hooker from the key. After Hewlett Nash canned a long jumper, Cumiford tossed in a pair of foul shots to tie the count at 53-53. Lead For Good Smith poked in a rebound shot seconds later to give the Owls the lead for good and little Leon Wilson got the "icing" process underway with 3:13 left with a long pusher. Six of the Techmen's final eight tallies came via the charity stripe but the hosts came within one point, 58-57 with 1:15 showing on the clock on two straight buckets by Gordy Carrigan and re serve Fred Louk. But the Raiders committed a rash of fouls in the final seconds as they attempted to gain control of the ball, The Owls took advantage of the SOC squad's 22 whistled in fractions to collect 23 points at the charity stripe in 34 at tempts. By contrast the Raiders hit only 7 of 14 from the foul line as the visitors were whistled for fouls a mere 11 times. Southern Oregon had the edge, however, in field goals with a hot .455 percentage on 25 of 55 attempts to OTI's warm .408 mark on 20 shots good of 49 casts. Again the Owl height was too much on the boards as Smith with 12 and Bob Peter sen with 11 led the winners to a 37-28 rebound advantage. Don Vannice topped the Red men with 9 grabs. Southern Oregon's fatal downfall in the last half was helped along when Dave Hughes was called for his fifth infraction with less than four minutes left on the clock and teammate John Payne fol lowed suit just seconds later. Below Par Oregon Tech had a below par first half as it held the lead only once, that at 9-6 on a pair of fielders by Smith and a free heave by Norman Johns. But the Owls went without scoring the next" 7 minutes, 59 seconds as Hughes and Jerry Shults, the Raiders high pointer of the night with 14 big points, each hit a pair of buckets, Vannice dropped in a free throw and Payne scored one from the field and once from the foul line. That made the score 18-9 with 6:01 left in the half. ' By intermission the Owls had trimmed the Raider lead to three, 25-22. All of Shults' tallies came from outside on long jumpers or push shots, but even a pair of 12-point scoring aids by teammates Hughes and Payne wasn't enough to overcome the Techmen, Smith topped all scorers with 16 counters for OTI while Petersen chipped in with 14 and Nash with 11. Southern Oregon draws a bye from further action until Feb. 3-4 when it travels to La Grande to battle Eastern Oregon college.

Butte Falls It's all knotted up in Jack son County B league basket bayy after Saint Mary's high of Medford soundly set down the visiting five from Pros pect 51 to 38 in a quick clean game here last night. Each now has a 3-1 record. It was a tight contest most of the way. In the first quar ter, the Crusaders mounted their chargers and took quick control of the ball. This sur prise move completely stopped the Cougars and end ed the period 13 to 9 for the home boys. The second period proved to be much the same with the home five increasing their lead by six and closing the half 24 to 18. A fired up five came out for the Cougars and attempted to close the scoring gap, but the defending champ Crusad ers were just as hot as before and matched the visitors point for point. It was here again that St. Mary's took advantage of the poor shooting of Pros pect and gained more to end the third period 39 to 28.

It took an overtime and a sudden death playoff before St. Mary's set down the visiting five 34 to 32. With the score tied at the end of the game, and then again at the end of the overtime, a sudden deatl) playoff was set in play. It was a basket by Dick At wood that clinched the game.
