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.

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

Basketball Tournament next month,

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
