Tornado Slates Klamath, Crater
In Week End Court Scuffles
What is the condition of
Klamath Union High school's
Bruce Brickner, shelved by
mumps, and Wally Palmberg,
sidelined by an appended
tomy? Will the two stellar
players see duty when the
Pelicans. Oregon s No. l raiea
basketball team, engage the
Medford Black Tornado in a
Southern Oregon conference
scuffle at Hedrick gym here?
Those are questions hoop
fans here have been asking,
Pelican Coach Dean White
has ronnrtprl that both DUiy-
ers are back in school and
that Palmberg appears in the

he said, the chances that

To Be Foes
hreeon State College, Cor
vallis - Dyrol Burleson, who
set a national high school mile
record, and Dale Story, the
. ...u u.Va that
mark a year later, will be two
of many top distance runners
competing in the Far West In
door Track and Field .classic
in Portland on Friday nigm,
March 3. "
Oregon State and Oregon
are co-hosts, wltn Beaver ow
clals in charge and Coach Sam
Bell the meet director.
Burleson needs no introduc
tion to local fans. Probably
. the best miler in the world
while representing the Uni
versity of Oregon, he still nas
a bright future ahead. But Sto
ry is somewhat of a newcomer
to state track circles.
Dyrol ran the mile in 4:13.2
as a Springfield prep ace for
his national record. Then came
Story from southern Califor
nia the next year with a 4:11
mark, prior to his enrolling
at Santa Ana JC where he
competed Inst year.
Stiff Challenge
Story was undefeated as a
junior college: star, and ran
4:09 at the Oregon invitational
in Portland In December. He
should offer a stiff challenge
to Burleson, which conceivab
ly could result in a new na
tional Inlnni fnpnrrt
Another "name" performer
entered is Archie San Roman!
Jr., who had a 4:11 mile to
his credit in high school. Ho
also ran the event in 4:08.2 at
Conipton relays for the best
time ever recorded by a high
school miler. After enrolling
at Kansas, young Romani later
transferred to Wichita, and
then to Oregon.
Others due to race at Port
land include Tom Sullivari,
from St. Georges high in Ev
anston, Illinois. He ran 4:11.9
as a junior and has gone 4:12.1
indoors this winter, plus hav-

In Morning league games
the Wimpy five suffered their
first loss In seven starts to
the second-place Mafia. Don
Tichonor scored eight points
for the winners in the 27 to
21 victory. The tie for second
place in the league remained
unbroken as the Ongiiwa.s de
feated the cellar dwelling
Seagram seven 43 to 33. Frank
Balch accounted for 20 points
in the contest. The Valiants

one of two assignments facing
the Black Tornado on the

6:30 p.m. Crater and Medford
soph and jayvee games also
arc scheduled Saturday.
Crater goes to Grants Pass
on Friday. The other week
end league fray takes Ash
land to Grants Pass on Satur
day. White said last night that it
couldn't be said for sure just
how far along in recuperation
Brickner and Palmberg will
be by Friday. Palmberg,
whose operation was on Feb,
5, worked out both Tuesday
and Wednesday, Brickner is
taking it more carefully.
Young Wally particularly is
champing at the bit to get
back into action. White, how
ever, looking at the long
range availability of his cag-
ers, declared, if there is any
question by Friday, we are
not going to take any
chances."
Iron Men
Klamath, which is still in
good position to sweep on to
the conference crown, is
strong even with the two
players missing from the line
up. The Pels proved that last
week end by whipping Grants
Pass after the Cavemen had
tripped Medford the night be
fore. The Pelicans, against GP,
went all the way with just
five players. White said he
did not substitute in the con
test for three reasons. In the
first place, "everything was
going good" with the starting

needed work against the GP

Fred Biehn and Sherm Allen
against the Cavemen but said
he may change the lineup
around this week as the re
sult of drills. Bob Lapsley,
Kent Hunsaker and, possibly,
Dana Ash could break into
the starting combine. "I have
not been able to make up my
mind," While remarked. He
reported the Pels actually in
better physical shape tnan
last week end.
If work is any indication,
the Black Tornado will be
ready to go against both
Klamath and Crater this
week end, according to Coach
Frank Roelandt. The Torna
do has been working "awfully
hard," he said.
Hoots May Start
Roelandt has been using
Steve Hoots and George
Clearwater much in workouts
this week. Hoots has been
coming along particularly
Bond in drills and Clearwater
is a good shot. Both may draw
starting assignments as Roe
landt seeks a combination of
height and added fire power.
Regular Bruce Bray missed
drill yesterday, ' presumably
because of illness, and Bob
Mclntyre has been gone three
days to take Air Force exams
at Travis Air Force base in
California.
At Crater Loyal Higin-
bothnm is back with the
squad but Bryson LaCasse
has been dropped. Junior var
sity practice and Jim Allen's
sickness complicated varsity
drill yesterday by leaving
just nine players on hand to
workout. For the Comets
Dennis Edwards, Higin

tain to start with five spot
choice among Tom White,

The only change offensively
found Oregon Tech moving

Duke and Cincinnati each
can take another giant step
toward their respective con
ference championships when
they meet league opponents
tonight.
Duke, leveled into a first-
place deadlock with North
Carolina in the Atlantic Coast
conference when the Tar
Heels defeated North Carolina
State, 62 - 56, Wednesday
night, can move to. the front
again by beating Maryland to
night. A victory is a near
must for the Blue Devils who
would like a soft cushion be
neath them when they tackle
North Carolina Feb. 25.
The Tar Heels, who have
nowhere to go in this year's
college basketball picture be
cause of an NCAA probation,
put the pressure on Duke
with a come-from-behind tri
umph over their arch-rivals
from Raleigh.
Players Suspended
Further complicating one
of the weirdest races in? re
cent ACC history is the sus
pension of two North Carolina
players, Larry Brown and
Don Walsh, and Duke star
Art Heyman. The trio was
declared ineligible Wednes
day when the conference's
executive committee upheld a
ruling to that effect by league
commissioner Jim Weaver.
The suspensions were the
result of a fight when North
Carolina played Duke Feb. 4.
The players will be eligible
to compete in the ACC tour
nament starting March 2, but
this means little to Brown
and Walsh since North Caro
lina already has declared it
won't bother sending a team
to the playoffs.
Eagles Play
Phoenix HS
On Friday
Eagle Point - Eagle Point
high basketball team, winner
of three of its last four games,
hopes to maintain the victory
trend this week end.
The Eagles are at home for
two games, meeting Phoenix
in the Rogue league on Fri
day and playing St. Mary's
in a non-counter on Satur
day.
Phoenix won the last league
fray with the EP club by a
36 to 35 edge. Last week end
EP tripped SM 55 to 46.
Coach Dale Bates said that
the Eagles have been trying
to develop offense to go
against zone defense this
week and have labored hard
on ball handling and their
own defense. He'll likely
name his Friday starters from
among Mike Palm, Steve
Geren, Tom Perdue, Ron
Greb, Ron Weidman, Charles
Pomeroy and Dick Wilson.
Wally West also is ticketed
for service.
Varsity games are set for
around 8:15 p.m. after 6:30
p.m. junior varsity play.
Eagle Point freshmen meet
Phoenix here this evening.
SM play on the EP court
will give them a chance to
get the feel of the gym in
which they'll engage Prospect
next Tuesday in a Jackson
County B league playoff. St.
Mary's will be host in Med
ford Sunday afternoon to

fore a round of crucial cage
action Friday and Saturday
The week end contests could
clear uo the NCAA tourna
ment picture, but are just as
likely to make an already con-
fused situation more chaotic.
USC and Loyola, leaders of
their respective conferences,
will be almost certain tourna
ment starters if they can win
rugged battles on the road Sat
urday. However, should the
Trojans and Lions lose, the
Big Five and WCAC races will
be wide open.
USC, which has moved up
to the No. 4 spot in the UPI
national rankings, must face
Washington at Seattle, iroy
is 6-1 in Big Five play and
every other team has at least
three defeats. The rest of the
loop's hopes will be riding
with the Huskies.
Loyola is 7-1, but is getting
a stiff battle from USF (4-1)
and St. Mary's (4-2). The Lions
move into the St. Mary's gym
Saturday.
USF hosts Peppcrdine (0-4)
and San Jose State (3-4). The
Dons could take over the
league lead by Saturday night.
