Go-Karters
Have Close
Contests
Keen competition was the
keynote o the Sunday after
noon Go-Kart races held at
the fairgrounds track by the
Medford Go-Kart club. Final
races in nearly every class
were close.
Twenty-seven Karts partici
pated and club officials indi
cated threatening weather
during the morning probably
kept several out of town par
ticipants from coming.
Closest race ot the day was
between Tom Popham and
Bob Schmidt for the trophy
in "A" Senior division.
Schmidt edged past Popham
at the finish line by less than
a foot. Schmidt drove a Cool
. 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. Skinner
finally slipped by Milligan
to clinch first place. Skinner's
winning combination was a
Cad-Kart powered by a Mc
Culloch MC-6.
Another close event was in
the "A" Super class where
Gary Croucher edged Howard
Lage in a battle down to the
finish line.
Club officials said the next
Kart Races will be Sunday,
Feb. 19, at the fairgrounds
site.
There will be a club meet
ing Thursday, Feb. 9, at 7:30

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.

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. Dwight Damon and
Terry Ball led the Cougars
with 21 and 19 to pretty well
nullify the Chieftains' usual
one-two punch of Dave Mills
and Eddie Miles, who hit 26
and 24.

Oregon State, Seattle, and

as the new leader of the even
ly balanced Northwest group.
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.
Competition in doubles and
singles will be held at Med

sult of 188, 225 and 230

respectively, for Wooden

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.
