Owls Divide OCC Series With EOC By DICK SCOTT Eastern Oregon College slaved off a last two-minute desperation burst by Oregon Tech Saturday night, and walked off with a 70-67 triumph, which evened the week end series between the two Ore son collegiate Conference teams. OTI won 74-55 Friday night. Paced by the scoring..oX Ken Westenskow, t h e Mountaineers broke open a tight ball game mid way in the second period, and be fore the Owls dc-iced. the visitors had slowed away a 68-55 lead with but two and one-half minutes re maining. The Owls roared back and came to within three points of erasing the 13-point deficit as the game ended. OTI had the lead briefly at the opening of the game, when John ny Foster hit from the side. East ern Oiecon took over at 5-4 with Lowell Kolbaba s free throw. The Owls moved Into the lead aaain at 11-10 on McCutcheon's two pointer. Coach Wally Pnlmbergs crew got the lead back with about seven minutes to go In the first frame as Foster canned an under-and-up lay-in to put the Mile High Camp us gar.g out in front at 23-22. T,ie biggest OTI edge came with exactly five minutes to go, when Foster's two free throws gave the Owls a 31-28 lead. A minute later, Jerry Fasteen's follow of Foster's miss made it 33-30. Then in the last few minutes the lead exchanged five times with Reinkmg's field goal in the last seconds giving the Mountaineers a 38-37 lead at the intermission.

OVith OTI working out of the same type ol zone defense that slowed down Portland State and stopped Southern Oregon, Tech looked as if they were out to walk away from their highly favored foes like USF leaves some of Its opponents. Ore Tech rambled to a 9-0 lead before Ken Westenskow tallied a lone free throw with 12:20 remain ing to play in the 20 minute period, giving Eastern Oregon its first point of the night. Foster's defen sive board rebounding plus the fact that EOCE was unable to buy a basket, played a vital roll in Tech's initial jump on the La Grande collegians. The first field goal for the Motilities came with 10:55 remain ing in the half as Ted Schadewitz finally found his mark with a long one-handed pusher to make the score stand 12-4. Tech maintained their lead through the remaining minutes of the peroid to hold a 29-26 halftime margin thanks to an unbelievable desperation shot by Ted Fischer. Fischer took an out-of-bounds pass from Bobby Whitman as the final seconds ticked off the score board clock, added a few quick dribbles then fired a "hope-and- that kept EOC in tne oau game in, pray shot that arched towards the first hall, the "cruncher" role lne oxi basket as the horn soun ded.

It was double hits from the free throw line by Shadewitz. and Wes tenskow that hoisted the visitor' bulge to 6I-55, with 2:36 minutes to go. A few disappointed Owl fans filed out of the gymnasium and missed a lot of fireworks as the "never-say-die" Owls tried to pull the ball game out of the fire. With a full court press on.

SIDELINE i ,, CLVYTOni HANNON ' ssii Ut RING THE PAST SEVERAL months, death has claimed some of the brightest names in baseball, including the one and only Cornel ius McGillicuddy, otherwise and probably better known as Connie Mack. The death of Mack last Wednesday afternoon shook the sports world from one end to the other, as old father time caught up with the the one person who has done the most to further our national pastime. From the time he first took up a bat as a player, until he sold the Kansas City Athletics, Mack had one byword . . . BASEBALL. And very few men in the sport have done as much to aid the game as "Mr. Mack", a man of many colorful and human stories. Everyone kneW that time had just about run out on Connie, but even though they knew It was coming, it still rocked the North, East, South and West. His passing added to the list of former greats who had preceeded him to the "happy hunting grounds". Names sucli as Honus Wagner. Clark Griffith, Bill Evans and Cy Young all were erased since the end of the 1955 World Series. In fact. Mack's death came just two months and one day after Wagner passed away. But Mack, who's real name was shortened to fit in a news paper boxscore, never knew that these close friendships had been parted by time. The tall thin "Mr. Baseball", still lays claim to the record of managing nine pennant winners In American League play, a mark that will probably stand for some lime to come, if not ever. These nine pennants came during the 50 consecutive years lie managed the A's, which Is another mark that Is not expected to be bettered. Although many people say that a fall lrom his bed several months ago brought on his death, we land many others' think that the selling of the As to Kansas City gave Connie Mack a broken heart, one that never healed. When the Mack Athletics left the city of brotherly love, so went his spirts and rcanos for living GP Stymies Pels In Tourney Chance if By CLAYTON HANNON the Klamath Union High School Pelicans are going to play in the 1955-56 State High School Basketball Tournament next month, they will have to wait until next weekend, tit least, before gaining an official invitation. Last night at Pelican Court, the Whitebird's had their opportunity to mnke things official and to sew up the second berth allotted to this district for the tourney, but a hard fighting band of Cavemen from Grants Pass extended the Pels' wailing period by capturing a spine-tingling 47-46 victory. It was a game Dial ended with blood pres sures rising to new "hiens," when the Cavemen staged a brilliant last period rally to "pull" the game out of the fire. The win for the Cavemen gives the Grants Pass quintet added lite in the race for the District 6-A-l and Southern Oregon Conlerence crown and the same award which the Pels are seeking a berth in the state playoffs. Klamath clinched at least a lie lor second place In the final league stand ings, and need only one more win of their owi:, or a loss by Grants Pass to assure themselves of the spot in the 16-tcam tournament at Eugene. Trailing four points going into the final eight-minute period.
