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.

were falling awav at the
final gun.
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.

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.
Evan, Kaiser 17
In the last stanza with the
home five hitting about .500
from the field for the game,
the gang from Prospect could
merely try to stop them from
running up the score.
Dick Evans and Joe Kaiser
each plunking in 17 points for
the Crusaders. Craig Gardner
was high for the Cougars with
12 markers.
It was the junior varsity
game that was the real
thriller. 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.
Pete Naumes had 11 and At
wood 10 in the winners cause
while Gene Wyatt horded 18
for a game high and Prospect
team high.

Official league statistics re
leased Tuesday reveal that
Chamberlain is running
ahead of the 37.6 point per
game pace that enabled him to
set a new season NBA scoring
mark in his rookie season and
that the circuit as a whole is
scoring more than ever before.
The Philadelphia Warriors
7-foot, 2-inch star averaged
42.8 points in four games last

Robertson Third
Oscar Robertson of the Cin
cinnati Royals is third with
1,495 points and a 30.5 aver
age and teammate Jack Twy-
man is fourth with 1352 and
a 25-point average.
The statistics also revealed
that NBA teams are averaging
117.2 points a game this sea
son compared to their record
average of 114.6 last season.
No less than 12 players have
passed the 1,000-point mark

Chamberlain also leads the
circuit with a .484 field goal
percentage and an average of
28.2 rebounds a game. Clyde

slim pickings by the other Na
tional Football league clubs
today and face tough going
in their first season unless
quarterback George Shaw and
the players they drafted come
through.
In arriving at a formula
Tuesday for stocking Minne
sota with eperienced players
NFL owners voted to give the
Vikings their choice of three
from a list of eight submitted
by every club except the Dal
las Cowboys.
This did not even constitute
as wide a range of selection
as the Cowboys were offered
last year. Dallas had its choice
of three players from each
club's list of 11 and wound
up its first NFL season with
out a victory. The Cowboys
lost 11 games and tied one.
