PORTLAND (Special) Forllund
State College, defending champion!
of the Oregon Collegiate Conference
basketball picture, displayed the
polish and power of a true cham
pion this past wee as thev dumped
the Orcpon Technical Institute Owls
from Klamath Fulls in 87-67 ami
93-F7 games that opened the 1955-oii
conference season for both clubs.
Sharkey Nelhon's hoopsters from
Portland's newest college, turned
on the coal here Saturday night as
the Vikings moved with compara
tivc ease pas: the visitors from
Southern Oregon. For the second
straight night, four Portland State
capers hit in double figures, a dose
too large for the Owls to swallow.
Six foot-seven Inch Fletcher Fra
r.ier led the Portland State attack
in the second night victory as he
sank 24 points. Other Vikings re
porting with accuracy from the'

He Bogle again turned in an out
standing performance on the boards
plus the fact he dumped 25 points
through the hemp. Jerry Fasteen
and Bobby Whitman, two newcom
ers to the OTI starting lineup also
turned in creditable performances
with 15 and eight points apiece.
Oregon Tech took a lead midway
through the first half, 17-11, but
with Poetsch and Vlskov hitting
from the outside, the Owls hopes
of an upset faded. In the second
half, Tech pulled to within five
points of their hosts, 41-36, but
again the Vita applied the steam
and moved out of reach of the
Mile High Campus crew.
The double win by Portland State
sent the Vikings Into a good start
towards their second straight con
ference crown. The double loss
handed the Owls a win-lost mark
of 4-7, and a stiff uphill battle to
fight if they wish to be In conten
tion for OCC honors.
In Friday evening's tussle, the
Owl's Charlie Bogle and Johnny
Foster turned in outstanding per
formances, but the defending con
ference champions proved too
powerful for the Invaders from
Klamath Falls.
Despite a 24 point effort by
Bogle and Foster's 22 counters,
the Owls fell before the Vikings of
Portland State 86-16 as both clubs
opened their Oregon Collegiate
Conference cage race.
The Portlanders, playing on
their home flbor, sank eight of
their first nine shots, and never
gave up the lead to Tech. By the
halftone intermission, the Viks
held command with a 42-34 lead.
During the first few minutes of
the second " half, PSC's red-hot
hoopsters rippled the net with con
tinued accuracy to widen the gap
at a steady clip.
Floor-leader Paul Poetsch led
the Vikings in scoring with 18
points, while Jack Vlskov added
IB on his own. Ron Nenow, who
Just rejoined Portland State, tal
lied 14 and Jack Parker hit for
13 more PSO points. Jim Perkins,
reserve Viking guard also hit in
double figures as he totaled 12.
The Friday night loss marked
the sixth straight loss to a Vikings
squad by Oregon Tech hoopsters.
The last time a Mile High Campus
club turned back Pqrtland State
was In the final game of the
1853-54 season.

THE OREGON SCHOOL ACTIVITIES Association came forth
with a large calendar of events for the next few months that will be
of Interest to most high school sports followers of the stale. Listed
among the list of "things to come" includes basketball tournaments
to track meets.
High school wrestlers will open the tournament agenda as the
state grappling tournament opens on March 2 and will continue
through the 3rd at Oregon Slate College. The prep baseball finals,
scheduled for May 25-26 will close the winter-spruig sports season.
The Class A-l basketball tourney will be held at McArthur Court

GATHERING I P THE remains of the recent football season's
predictions by Klamath Basin prognosticates, this is what we found:
KU grid coacb John McGinnls finished the year with 55 right
picks compared to 30 wrong for a .647 mark, while Tech's Rex Hun
saker fared a little better with 58-31 for a .652 percentage. KFLW'S
Floyd Wynne suffered a late-season slump and closed with 48 right
calls against 26 wrong for a final count of .649.
The other four members of the panel finished as follows: Bob
Thompson of Pioneer Tobarco had a 61-30 count for a .670 season
and Warren Bunyan of KFJI posted a .657 year with GO right and 31
missed. Henley coach Al Fairchild turnrd on the steam late In the
year and ended with 59 correct and 32 incorrect picks for a .648
finish. The suprise of the season's fun was the 63-28 record compiled
by yours truly for a .692, which by some unforsecn chance was high.
We have-planned for another such contest next year, as the second
guessers try to second-guess the football games of the nation once
more.

Rex Hunsaker, athletic director at Oregon Tech, accompanied the

It's nice that the local high school band could have made such

Al Weill '
Leaves
NY Guild
By JACK CI DDY
United Press Sports Writer
NEW YORK (UP) Al Weill,
who looks after heavyweight cham
pion Rocky Marciano. led what
was expected to be a general exo
dus out of the Fight Managers
Guild Saturday, submitting his
resignation and stating he would
support the campaign to clean up
boxing in New York State.
Weill's decision, which he re
vealed In a telegram from Los
Angeles to the headquarters of the
Guild here, was the latest develop
ment in a swill series, all tending
to bring total victory to Julius
Hclfand, the State Athletic com.
missioncr, who was Instructed to
clean up boxing or run it out of
New York.
"I decided to go along with Hel
fand and the New York State
Athletic Commission and I just
sent the wire to the Guild that I
uv't resigning effective mmdl
ately." Weill said in Los Angeles.
"I have no other comment. ,
WERGELES QUITS
Chick Wergeles, who is assoct
atcd with Weill in various manage
rial light venturs, also announced
here that he was quitting the
Guild.
The Guild, a group of fight man
agers who have sought to get
larger percentages and Other con
cessions lor their boxers, was
denounced by Helfand as "monop
olistic, dictatorial, and crime
ridden" and he Issued an edict,
banning it in New York State
effective on Jan. 16. Specifically,
ho ordered the Guild dissolved be
cause it was against the best
interests of boxing, and the Guild
members in turn, voted 66-0 to
battle Holland's edict.
However, the Guild was dealt a
haymaker blow by promoter Jim
Noms of the International Boxing
Clii j. who i' nr it '.nerd "101 -)5r c?n
support of Helfand" and declared
also that he would do everything
in his power to keep major weekly
boxing shows operating in New
York for national TV and radio
audiences.
GOVERNORS HELP
The Guild previously had
planned a boycott of' New York
State in which managers would not
permit their fighters to appear on
programs here. That forced sever
al promoters to consider moving
tlieir weekly shows to other cities.
But that plan also went down for
the count when Gov. Theodore Mo
Keldin of Maryland, Gov. Frank
Lnusche of Ohio and boxing offi
cials of various other states, said
Ihey didn't want fights which were
not sanctioned, In New York.. ; ...
In' effect, they said if such pro
motions were considered unsavory
in New York it would not reflect
creditably upon their stntes tp ac
cent them as alternate choices.
Many of the managers In the
Guild who hart been dofiant pre
viously. Indicated they now would
be willing to form n new alliance
which would be acceptable to Hel
fand.
