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.
Longhorns
Picked Over
Texas A-M
Nesw York (UPH The odds

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.

Long said Oregon was a
"great football team and
we've goi a real challenge on

Mcllugh said Terry Baker
will be "by far" the best back
Oregon has faced this season.
Mcllugh added he felt a wet
field would work to the ad
vantage of Oregon Stale. Long
disagreed.
"We want a dry field and
think a wet field would hurt
our chances," he said.
Long said tension was high
in Corvallis "The coaches are
I even irritable with each
