Kart powered by a McCul loch MC-6. John Skinner and Larry Milligan got into the final heat of the "A" Junior race and raced nip and tuck through the event.

Jim Cabler's 671 for Jubilee Battle Taking Shape in West Coast, Conference By United Press International At first glance in the stand ings, Loyola appears to have the West Coast Athletic con ference title all sewed up, but, a second peek shows a cloud or two on the Lions' horizon. Loyola bounced Santa Clara for the second time in three days Monday night when they pulled out a 65-60 toughie at Los Angeles. The win left the Lions 6-1 in league action, while the Broncos are 3-2. But an eccentric schedule this year finds some WCAC teams more than half - way along after playing four games in five days, while others have barely got started. Thus St. Mary's and USF are still in the running with 2-1 marks. The Gaels could be especially trouble some. They probably own the loop's outstanding performer in Tom Meschery, and their 13-4 sea son record is the league's fin est. Loyola is now 13-5. St. Mary's faces key tests this week against USF and Santa Clara. Star of Monday night's big win for Loyola again was Ed Bento. The 6-foot-5 inch Hawaii-born forward poured in 27 points. In a cofeature, San Jose rolled over hapless Pepper dine. 67-56. Pepperdine's Noel Smith had 22 to lead scorers, while Eill Younge of San Jose tallied 15. The rest of Monday night's Pacific hoop action look place in the Northwest. Northwest Chaos Gonzaga's scoring machine. Frank Burgess, swished 35 points and the Bulldogs took care of Regis, 81-76. Washington State had an easy time with Seattle and won 83-76.

The Ducks are rated 20th in the latest UPI poll. However, the squads in the area are so closely matched, that every major team in the area could lose at least 10 games this year if the present trend continues. Portland romped to an easy 82-56 win over St. Martin's Monday night. Bill Garner scored 16 to lead the Pilots to their 12th win in 19 starts. was the highest individual effort in the team rolling.

Owls Need Win Over SOCClub Ashland - Still looking for their first victory in more than three weeks, the South ern Oregon college Red Raid ers meet rival Oregon Tech in an all-important Oregon Col legiate Conference basketball clash here tonight. Game time will be 8:15 p.m. Coach Wally Palmberg's Owl cagers need a win over SOC to keep their hopes for the OCC title alive, while the Raiders, winless in their last six outings, will be seeking to get back into contention for a possible berth in the NAIA tournament at the close of the season. The Owls are fresh from splitting a week end series with Portland State's Vikings and the Raiders ran their loss streak to six by dropping a twin bill to league - leading eastern Oregon in La Grande over tile week end. Raider mentor-Ted Schopf has indicated a "possible change" in the SOC lineup to night, "providing the injury and illness situation has cleared up a bit." Sidelined are Dave Gardner with the flu and Fred Louk with a back injury. Neither traveled with the team to La Grande but Schopf hopes both will be able to suit up for the OTI clash. Need Help "We need all the help we can get for this game," stated Schopf after drilling his cag ers on defense and rebound maneuvers Monday. Schopf also indicated that sophomore Bob Jensen who held EOC's Tom Neel to a mere three points in the sec ond half of Saturday's game, may get a shot at a starting berth at one forward position tonight. Or, said Schopf, the position may go to Louk if he is able, or senior Don Vannicc. The other forward position will be held down by sopho more Dave Hughes, who col lected 25 points and 21 re bounds in the EOC series. Cen ter will be 6-5 John Payne who was credited with 32 points and 18 rebounds against the Mounts. Holding down the guard spots for SOC will be senior Gordy Carrigan, who boost ed his season total in point production to 271 tallies with a pair of 26-point nights against Eastern, and frosh Jerry Shulls. Slated for starting berths for the invading Owls are Bob Petersen, 6-4, and either Bob Cumiford, 6-2, or Gene Bran son, 6-3, at the forward posts; big 6-7 Sammy Smith at cen tor; and either Leon Wilson 5-8. Norman Johns, 6-2, Charlie Wilson, 5-6, drawing the two starting guard assign ments. A preliminary game is also slated tonight at 6:30 between the SOC Jayvees and Wooden Shoe Restaurant.
