Koch Drills On Portland Hoop Squad Portltnd-With the opening Pilov hoop date less than two weeks off, University of Port land's head basketball coach Al Negratti has expressed sat isfaction with his team in drills to date, particularly im pressed with its fine compe titive attitude. The Pilots open a 26-game schedule Friday, Nov. 30, against San Jose Slate, West Coast Athletic conference member, in Portland's Memo rial Coliseum. This year's Pilot squad, composed of five returning lettermen, five junior college transfers and two other re turnees, has shown a willing ness to work together and Negratti feels that the club wil,l round into shape sooner thaVi anticipated. Returnees Listed Returning lettermen Steve Ansteet, 6-8, Junior; Jim Dortch, 6-4, junior; George Koch (ex-Medford), 6-3, senior; Roland Carpenter, 6-5, senior, and Joe Minnehan, 6-4, sen ior, have been working well with the "jaycee" transfers so Negratti feels that the group could knit more rapidly than he had at first expected. Newcomers Ranic Smith, 6-6; Tom Nichols, 6-3; Dave Cooper, 6-4; Dennis Channing, 6-4, and Kent Soldan, 6-2, have impressed to date. Smith and Nichols are from Diablo Valley JC, Channing and Sol dan from Santa Ana JC, and Cooper from Orange Coast College, all in California. Sophomore Channing is the lone transfer not a junior. Non lettermen returnees, Dan Yeager, 6-3 sophomore, and Mickey Reardon, 6-0 jun ior, round out the squad. Heated competition for starting berths have been the order of the day since prac tice Vegan, a feature that will result in a fine bench, believes Negratti. However, last year's starters - Anstett, Dortch and Koch - should compose part of the UP lineup against the Sparts.

All Tickets Sold for OSU-UO Tilt Oregon State University, Corvallis - All tickets, both general admission and re served, have been sold for the Oregon State-Oregon football game here next Saturday, it was announced Monday by Athletic Director R. S. (Spec) Keene. The reserved ducats were gone nearly two weeks ago, but last Saturday Beaver of ficials placed 1.600 additional general admission tickets on sale following the Colorado State game. They were snapped up in a hurry, Keene said, and no more tickets will be on sale. This means that the largest crowd ever to see a "Civil War" clash in cither Corvallis or Eugene likely will be on hand. The Beavers drew 27, 574 at Parker stadium for the 1!)58 game, and in 1960 some 27,009 were on hand. Special bleacher sections have been added for this game, with ca pacity at about 28,000, Keene said. Meanwhile, Coach Tommy Prothro and his Beavers went right to work getting ready for the most important game of the season, insofar as OSU is, concerned. A victory over the Ducks might bring the Beavers a post-season Bowl bid, for their present record of 7-2 is one of the best in the nation. Bob Zclinka, who has scout ed the Ducks, says Oregon is "without question the best club we will have faced all season." The line coach claims Oregon has its strongest team since he joined the OSU staff back in 1U55, and warns that the Ducks will be sky-high after their loss to Ohio Stale. Prothro was anything but pleased with Oregon State's mediocre performance in beat ing Colorado Stale, 25-14. He thought his team played "slop py football," and said the Beavers have a long way to go to gel back to where they were a few weeks ago. One bright spol was the "B and B" combination, Terry Baker and Vern Burke. Baker all but clinched the NCAA total offense championship for 19fi2 with 389 yards against CSU, and Burke moved back into No. 1 spot among the na tion's receivers with 10 catches for 108 yds. Eldon Forlie. erstwhile of fense leader, picked up only 19 yards against Wyoming, and has finished his season. Baker, of course, has one re maining game against Oregon. Both Oregon and OSU are hoping for a dry field Satur day to exploit their talents. Baker, Burke Set NCAA Pace New York-WD - Ail-Ameri can candidate Terry Baker of Oregon State is the nation's total offense leader, NCAA statistics showed today. Baker has gained 2.159 yards in nine games. He took over the lead from fcldon for- tie of Brigham Young, who has 1.963 yards. Baker is third in foiward passing with 104 out of 189 for 1,648 yards. Vern Burke of Oregon State is first in pass receiving with 66 catches for 987 yards. Baker needs 241 yards against Oregon Saturday to tia the all-time one-season record of 2.4U0 set by Johnny Bright of Drake. if. if. -f. ii Jf' -- - .....
