Honrs
National glory was bestowed
upon John Witte, Oregon State
College tackle from Klamath Falls,
this past weekend, and for the
first time, Klamath County can
claim the honor of producing an
A II-American.
The International News Service
selected Witte to one of the two
tackle cosltlons of their All-Amer
ican football team for 1955. It was
one of the very lew sucn nonors
for the state or Oregon, ana me
first since 1933 for Oregon 8tate
when tackle Adolf Schwammel was
chosen to the first team by the
AKsnclated nress.
Witte's national recosnltlon
nushed him to the highest and
probably the biggest award tUe

Bill Toole at halfback, swept al

at Dost-game ceremonies, jonn

outstanding back merits. But Toole
dropped football In favor of basket
ball at OSC, and John carried on
with football. Now he is at the
bead of the list as an All-Amer
ican tackle. ,
After graduating from Klamath
Union ir. 1951, Witte lettered his
first year at Oregon State and
started his long road to gridiron
acclaim with outstanding showings
in his iresnman season. During
the same year, Witte was runner-
up lor the National intercollegiate
Heavyweight wrestling title.
Uncle Sam Interrupted Witte's
college plans after his sophomore
season as a starting tackle on
Kip Taylor's Orange squad. While
In the service, John played with
the Fort Richardson ((Alaska)
team, which won eight of nine
games. His discharge from the
Army brought great yells of Joy
from the Corvallis school, because
as coach Tommy Prothro said on
many occasions this past year.
I'll take John over any other
tackle on the coast." Not being
boastful, the OSC mentor probably
meant the nation.
In his first season back from
the service, Witte has been more
than an outstanding linemen for
Oregon Slate, he has been a "lea
der" of the surprising uprising
staged by the Beavers. As many
Oregon State followers say, "John
has been the father of our ball
club."
FUTURE BRIGHT

BIG-TIME
Oklahoma was not a heavy

standards, but it more than made
up for that by Its overall speed
and the sound football and tre

by popular Wilkinson. During their
penect - record campaign, the
Sooners won the Big Seven crown
for the eighth year in a row under
Wilkinson, extended their victory
string to 29 games, and brought to
105 the number of consecutive
games in which they have scored.
The Sooners started the season
slowly, with a 13-6 victory over
North Carolina. But they gathered
momentum the following week
with a 26-14 triumph over Pitt,

Oregon Tech's basketballing In
terest swing into high speed in is
week as coach Wally Palmberg
grooms his cagers for their sea
son's first action this Friday and
Saturday night at OTI.
The Mile High Campus quintet
meets Phil Pesco's Olympic Jun
ior college Rangers in a doume
weekend of court play to open a
26-game season.
Olympic and Tech have met five
times, with the Owls winning
three, and the Rangers two. Last
year Tech split with the Bremer
ton cage crew, winning 79-68 and
losing 59-74.
This weekend's meeting between
OTI and Olymnlc may very well
be an early test of what is to
come In the Regional Junior Col'
lege Tournament. Palmberg's Owls
have already been invited to at
tend the JC meet, and on three
different occasions. Pesco s Ran
gers have entered the nationals
after whipping past regional ioes.
Olympic entered the National Jun
ior Colleee tournev in 1948-49-50,
where they placed fourth, seventh
and tenth.
Palmberg. still seeking a solid
starting five, said early this weeic
his club will be without the serv
ices of standout forward John
Foster for the Ranger-Owl clash
Foster will be out of the Tech
cage picture until completion of
this semester's work. The 6-2 re
bounding artist is a former Ore
gon all-stater while playing with
Central Catholic of Portland.
Olympic will be led by one of
the finest Junior, college prospects
in Pacific Northwest cage circles
this year. The acquisition of 6-2
forward Bernie Flndlay has given
the "small" Rangers a definite
scoring punch. Findlay graduated
from Onondaga (New York) High
School last spring after compiling
over 1500 points In four years of
prep play. One of Flndlay's scor
ing marks Is expected to stand
for some time, that a record of
26 field goals in one game.
Findlay is being considered as
one of the future prospects by Uni
versity of Washington basketball
scouts. The Olympic star was an
Upstate All-Star last season.
Findlay and center Jerry Hath
away are the tallest first-line cag
ers for Pesco at 6-2, but reserve
center Truman Williams stands at
the six foot-three Inch level.

the commission will meet at Long
view next Saturday to consider
any protests over Wenatchee's ac

tion. Everett Junior College sources
said the Trojans have turned down
bowl games, in the past because
of the conference rule.
In agreeing to the game Mon
day, Dr. James Starr, Wenatchee
J.C. president, said the school was
accepting because of "circumstan
ces surrounding the bowl bid. , ."
There Is tremendous community
pressure to go to a bowl game,"
Dr. Starr said. "I felt obliged to
bow to that pressure since, after
all, the junior college is a com
munity school."
He added the commission had
been asked to poll its members to
learn their attitude on Wenatchee
accepting an offer, if one was re
ceived, but no poll was taken.
Wenatchee won seven games

Red Sox acquired the contracts of
19 players, including veterans like
