FRIDAY, JANUARY PAGS TEN HERALD AT ID NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON .wis 'Inloinnie "to WDves I flfc. ' IPek Travel I toirts Pass ' ""'y OCC Set Tips Off Tonight If Oregon Tech Is to keep alive its slim mathematical chance in the Oregon Collegiate Conference, the Owls will have to win two from Oregon College, a series that opens tonight on Hilltop Court and winds up Saturday night. Tip-oil time both nights Is 8 o'clock. But grand-slamming the Wolves of Monmouth is a Job that will take a lot of doing. Oregon Tech's junior varsity fac es Lassen JC's varsity In the 6:16 preliminary both nights. A week ago the Wolves short pointed the Owls twice In Mon mouth to take the lead in the OCC and Above the Techs down to third place, behind Eastern Oregon and ahead of Portland State. Oretech Coach Skeet O'Connell, watching his team lose four straight, hinted this week there would be some shuffling. But it's likely his starting lineup will be a shrouded secret until gametlme. : The Owls' headman did intimate that Oary Corn's speed would be utilized at the start to help com bat OCE's zip. The Wolves are shy on height but long on swift. But Dorn's services are not cer-, tain. The ex-Echo lad injured his ankle In the first OCE tilt and missed the second game of the ser ies, plus two king's - X games against Southern Oregon Monday and Tuesday. It's a good guess Don Butphin will team with Dora at the guard spots and Jerry Wyatt will get a call at forward. The rest is con jecture. Wyatt's running mate could be Jerry Overen, Don Hub ble or Bob Edgren. . -CENTER Either Keith Thompson or Edgren could open at the center position. If Dorn Isn't ready, Alan Cun ningham will probably get the guard vote. The Owls hope to use the home court advantage to reverse the pair of decisions registered by the .Wolves. Despite the two setbacks in Mon mouth, the Owls go into the ser ies with a better overall record 6-7 to OCE's 3-9. Bob Livingston, OCE coach, told the Herald and News recently he -would start with freshman Fred Stanley end Frank Grove at the forward spots, - center Bobby Frants and guards Charles Pinion end Larry Chamberlain. But it's highly possible he'll stick with the unit that twice clipped the Owls. That team switches Cham berlain to forward to run with Orove and puts Darrell Davis at a guard position, . Orove, in the shooting and re bound departments, : waB the top handyman In the Wolves' sweep a week ago.

Their 10-round match at Madi son Square Garden will be carried on network radio (ABC) and tele vision (NBC) starting at 10 p.m., (EST). Martinez Is a 12 to 6 favor ite. The prize for the winner Is sun posed to be a Feb. 19 or March 5 date with Billy Graham, who is sure to be Involved In any elim inations if Gavilan is forced to vacate his title. The Cuban Keed will have to give up the welter crown If he whips Bobo Olson or the 160-pound title AprU 2 In Chl cngo. PROSPECT Martluez, . 24-year-old nrospect from Patcrson, N. J., has fought more "name" fighters than Caslllo, a newcomer to the Garden from Blue Island. III. Consequently Mar tinez was listed among the A divi sion scrappers and Caslllo in B class in the latest ring ratings. An impressive victory could move the winner into the top 10. It's a "make or break" fight for both boys, Caslllo in particular. Rocky came East in mid-October with the billing of "the new Rocky Graziano." He lost to Joey Klein but bounced back to stop Danny Giovanelli, a conqueror of Martin ez. The Giovanelli bout started Manager Jack Begun talking about Rocky and he hasn't stopped yet. RECORD His career record since 1951 is 28-3 for 29 fights. Martinez, now 24, seems to ar rive at a new "crisis" every time he starts. He romped on a 13-flglit win until beaten by Chico Vejar and Giovanelli. Now he has a new win streak of five, including a re versal over Vejar. For 35 fights his record is 32-3 since he started hi 1945. On his first hunting expedition 15-year-old Roger wneeler of New tonville, Mass., killed a 140-pound buck. N Jim Corbett was the first heavy weight champion who started his boxing career as an amateur.

Wichita Threat In MVC By BEN OLAN NEW YORK IB This was the year they said the University ol Wichita would have to make the bier splash In the Missouri Valley Conference. And Wichita's cagers are doing just that. True, last night's 102-50 wallop ing of little Fort Hays State didn't add much stature to Wichita's No. 11 ranking in the latest Associated Press poll. But it underlined the threat the Shockers are making to the Oklahoma Aggies and St. Louis, the conference big wigs. Up to this season, it was a case of the Aggies winning the confer ence crown most of the time and the BUllkens the rest. THREAT But boasting a 4-0 record ' In league play and an over-all '16-1 mark, the surprising Shockers are making a run for national recogni tion. A victory over St. Louis Sat urday would put them right up there. Last night's victory was Wichi ta's . 14th straight. Its only loss came at the hands of Seattle Dec. 4, after having defeated the West Coast club the previous evening. Oeorge Washington's loth-ranked Colonials ran into unexpected trouble last night before finally subduing elght-tlmes-beaten Vir ginia 13-71. The Colonials, playing without star ; guard Elliott Karver, won their 12th game against one loss (to Maryland) on the contributions of the Holup brothers,. Joe and John. Joe had 25 points and John chipped In with 19. Even Bevo Francis had his troubles. The much-heralded high scorer tallied 32 points as Rio Grande edged Findlay 74-11. But uie Dig man relinquished high scoring honors for a change. Ron nie Marquette, a Findlay guard, had 36. Bowling Tourney Opens Saturday ALBANY, Ore. UK The Oregon State Bowling Association's annual tournament will open here Satur day. There are 304 teams registered, second only to the record registra tion of last year. Officials said some Oregon teams have entered the nr.tlonal tournament at Seattle, and will be unable to go to both tourneys.

TODAY . .. Many fishermen are spending the winter months tying up favorite flies for the coming season . . and are finding a complete new shipment of materials now at Hal's, In cluding badger hair, vires, hooks and complete instruction books for beginners. SPORT 532 Main HAL'S SHOP Prion 5569 Split Of Series Expected One of three things can happen when the Klamath Falls basketball Pelicans fill a double date In Grants Pass with the Cavemen to night and tomorrow night. The Pels, one game up In the Southern Oregon cage race, can stay, that way; they can return home with a plushy 'three-game cushion; or -they can be one game down after the twin bill. Most of the sideline observers look for a split of the series, which would leave the Klamath club with a one-game advantage when the Big Four heads into the second and last round of play Feb. 12 and 13. BIG LEAD Two wins for the Pelicans would give them an almost insurmount able three-game lead, while they could be down a game if the Cave men turn in- a grand-slam per formance. , . - On the records, it's a defensive vs. offensive battle. The Pels lead in the stop department, allowing just 149 points in tour games, a 37.25 average. Grants Pass' go-minded club has poured in 229 pouts in four games, 57.25 per. Making the pre-serles picture even more interesting, the Pels are second in offense, while the Cave men hold the runner-up spot In defense. COULD GO HIGH If both clubs cut loose, the games could run Into top figures or ball control strategy ceuld hold the scores ridiculously low. Grants Pass' Gene Barber and Klamath's David D'Ollvo are run ning neck and neck for the con ference scoring crown, each with 44 points. In third place is Klam ath's Larry Yarnell with 43, while the Cavemen's Sam Dean and Bill Hansen share the fourth spot with Medford's Willard Lilly, all with 37. However, Barber may not get a starting nomination if Grants Pass Coach Ray Davis sticks with his usual opening five Gary Sutphln and Bob Woods (of football fame) forwards, Dean at center, Hansen and Jerry Yosten ac guards. ALMOST CERTAIN Center D'Ollvo and guard Yarnell are almost certain of starting as signments to give the Pels a one two scoring punch. The other three are anybody's guess with Coach Paul McCall using at least 10 cag ers generously during the season. Jimmy Bevans Is a good bet to team with Yarnell at guard, while the forwards will come from Ed Barron, Guy Munsell, Jim Dough erty ana uon Alius. KLAMATH'S RADARMEN in four conference garnet to date are Larry Yarnell (left) and Dt, D'Olivo. D'Olivo it tied with Grants Pass' Gene Barber in the sharpshooting stales wfo j . esch. Yarnell is a squeak back at 43. Both will have a ehancs to add to their totili -J two-game series against the Cavemen, opening in Grants Past tonight.

Gleason Screams Fo Title Fight For Nino By MURRAY ROSE (For Gayle Talbot) NEW YORK Wl Jack Demp sey's suggestion that an elimina tion tournament be held to un cover a "real" challenger for Rocky Marciano is a worthy idea but Bobby Gleason thinks he has something better to ofler, "Make the champion fight the No. 1 challenger within six months or take away his title," says the fiery little manager of Cuban heavyweight champion Nino Val des. "That's the way they do it In Europe. If the European cham pion doesn't meet No. 1, he's tossed out on his ear by the Euro pean Boxing Federation. "Otherwise, what good Is it to rank fighters? Or have a No. 1 contender? You can't eat a rank ing." DECISION Bobby, of course, is not entirely unselfish In advocating the adop tion of the European system. Fol lowing a decision victory over Ez zard Charles and a four-round knockout over Heinz Neuhaus, the European king, Valdes was named the No. 1 contender by Ring mag azine. TheNational Boxing Assn. in its latest rankings a few weeks back listed no logical contenders for Marciano among the big boys.
