'
Oregon Technical Institute and
Oregon College of Education, the
two tail-enders of the Oregon Col
legiate conference, meet tonight
and Saturday in a two-game series
that will determine the unwanted
basement position in the final con
ference standings. This weekend's
aeries will be the final regular sea
son play for both clubs.
Tip-off time is 8 o'clock for the
main game, and 6:15 for the pre
liminary battle.
Jcoach Wally Palmberg's cold
riddled Owls from OTI and Dr. Bob
Livingston's Wolves from Oregon
College will find themselves again
battling for the dubious honor ill at
tobody wants, that of finishing last
la the five team league. The Owls
and Wolves are presently tied for
toe honor, and by splitting this
week's pair of tilts, the two clubs
Would be co-owners.
., For the Owls to climb out of the
league's cellar, they will have to
aubdue their visitors from Mon
mouth twice. And should the tables
"be reversed, and OCE capture
both games, then the Owls would
be the sole holder for the number
live spot, while Oregon College
would finish in fourth behind South
ern Oregon.
TRAVELING
I Other conference action this
Weekend finds Portland State Col
lege, the league's leading quintet,
traveling to La Grande for two
games with Eastern Oregon Col
lege of Education. All the PSU
Vikings need to clinch their second
straight OCC petulant is to win
one of the two games. By losing
both to the Mounties, Portland
Qtate can do no worse than tie for
re league's crown.
In the overall OTI-OCE records
On the basketball floor, Tech holds
the upper hand with an 11-9 record
Ipr the first five seasons of Ore
gon Collegiate Conference play. So
far this year the two clubs are
even-up with one win apiece after
in earlier season series St Mon-
iouth.

Terriers
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The upset whnmmy still has its
hold on the tournament clubs In
college basketball with St. Fran
cis of Brooklyn the latest victim.
The Terriers, who had won 18
straight before being turned under
by St. Joseph's of Philadelphia
last Saturday, lost their second
straight last night in a discourag
ing a-BB game against lona.
Off what they showed against
the aroused Gaels, now 8-13, the
Terriers may well be the darkest
darkhorse in the National Invita
tion Tourney since Black Beauty.
It was the sixth defeat In 13
games played by NIT and NCAA
bound teams tills week. Xavler of
Ohio, headed for the NIT, kept
the postseason clubs above .500 by
putting Eastern Kentucky in Its
place 93-72. The Kentucklans had
stunned another NIT entry, Louis
ville, by two points Tuesday.
St. Francis, ranked 16th in the
AP poll, never really got rolling
against lona. The Terriers failed
to set up a tight defense against
the outside sets of Larry Blaney
and Ralph Savarese in the first
half and never did find out how
to stop Joe Bernardi, who wound
up with 38 points.
lona solved the problem of St.
Francis' highly regarded sopho
more rebounder,' Al Innis, simply
by drawing him away from the
Gaels' hoard. He collected 19
points, but got only three in the
second half before Coach Dan
Lynch called him to the bench
and kept him there for the last
9 minutes of the game. .
Xavier hit 49 per cent of Its
shots and pulled away from East
ern Kentucky after the first 16
minutes.
Davidson clinched the eighth
and final berth for next week's
Southern Conference champion
ship tourney by eliminating Vir
ginia Military 79-73 as Semi Mint!
scored 25 and Hobby Cobbs 22.
Virginia, outshot from the floor,
beat Maryland at the free-throw
line 29-12 to upset the Terps 73-60
for a sixth-place tie with South
Carolina in the final Atlantic
Coast standings. .

Opinions
Formed In
Oval Case
By OSCAR FRALEY
Vnited Tress Sports Writer
NEW YORK (UP) Two conclu
sions seem lairly obvious today in
the wake of the permanent suspen
sion of miler Wes Santee.
The first is that the Kansas run
ner took more In expenses than
the amateur law allows. The sec
ond is tnat Santee, doing no more
than many others, is a sacrificial
offering to the AAU's own guilty
conscience.
Santee's mistake was in taking
a check Instead of cash.
You may debate all day that
Santee was no more guilty than
many others anu mat ills payofl
was rather trivial, being only $1.-
500 in 22 meets. But you can't
avoid the fact that he did accept
excessive payments beyond what
the AAU law allows.
The fact that everybody else on
the whole Is wrong does hot make
Santee right. Possloly you can leel
there Is some basis to- the charge
tiiat somebody Is out to "get"
him. As the biggest name in track
and field he was exceptionally vul
nerable. Had the AAU made an
"example" out of. let's say, some,
body In the mile walk, nobody
would have paid any particular
notice.
BAD RAP
Santee never came out and said
that he was being tagged witn a
bad rap. His attorney, to whom
I talkea several times, never in
sisted that Wes was completely in
nocen:. The major demand was thai the
case be sent back to Santee's home
Missouri Valley Assn.
They had cleared him once of
these same charges. The 21 to 7
vote Indicates that even there
some of those sitting In Judgment
weren't completely certain that he
hadn't been "on the take" to a
certain extent. But Santee's coun
sel, shooting to have the case sent
back for another home town de
cision, knew it was the only man
ner in which he could win.
It is ridiculous to Insist that be
ing barred as a "professional"
would have any bad after effects
on the Santee name. Nobody ever
thought that such previously dis
barred athletes as Jim Thorpe.
Paavo Nurml and Gunder Haag
should be in prison because they
made a little above expenses and
thus were barred from amateur
ranks.
SLIM ACCOUNTS
The bonus is, and should be, on
the AAU and on Its niggardly.
profit - making system which
doesn't allow comfortable' expense
accounts to the men who "make"
its track meets,
Colleges have an out on their
pinch-penny methods on the theory
that their contests are part of the
collegiate athletic ' system. But
men such as Santee and other
headliners are not collegians be
ing paid off in part with an educa
tion. Santee Is a Marine lieuten
ant. Horace Ashenfelter Is an FBI
man. Bob Richards is a teacher.
And so it goes. ,
When they give up personal time
for training and take long periods
away from their families and work
to compete in meets which are
strictly money makers for the
organizations putting them on they
should be allowed a fair return.
True, they aren't professionals.
But their expense accounts should
be equitable and comfortable.
Actually, this Is accepted even
by the AAU. But their method
is one of under-the-table. Santee's
big mistake was in taking a check
Instead of demanding cash as the
rest do. He was, in the end, a vic
tim of the system.

"It's going to be mighty tough,'"

that this will be the first SDrinor

give it up suddenly."

"I still say the best manager Is
the one with the best 25 ball play
ers, and it helps to be lucky, of
course. Come to think of It, I
might have been the best manager
in history while we (the Giants)
were beating Cleveland four
straight in that -64 series.
"Boy, was I a genius. In one
game I called for four plays and
every one of them worked. As I
recall, there was a squeeze play,
a sacrifice, a hit-and-run and a
stolen base. How many squeeze
plays do you see In a season? In
the average game a manager
would be happy to have one of
the four plays work, but. they all
went perfectly for me that day.
It was a crazy series. If we had
played It over again Clcvelnnd
might easily have beaten us four
straight."

The halftime margin also favored
the Klamath County A-2 club, IS

stanza as Henley fell behind. A
push shot by Jack Oreb with 5:20
left in the quarter gave Eagle
Point, a 24-22 heading, one that
Henley could never quite reach.
The game was close throughout
all of the first three periods as
the lead changed hands seven
