FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1958 VERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE NINE OTI Cagers Host Portland Vikings In Doubleheader The OTI Owls, currently tied I of John Frederick and' Gary Roy wim me buu uea Kaiaers lor lirst place on the OCC ladder, tangle with the Portland Slate Vikings in a two-game series beginning to night at 8 o'clock on .Mile High Court. The vastly improved Viks, boast ing a three game win streak after having downed Oregon College of Education in their most recent win, face the task of trying to get by the Owls who thumped them twice at the first of the season. This two-game test climaxes the annual four game series between the two schools. Starting for Wally Palmberg's Owl five will be John McCutcheon, Truman Williams, Charlie Bogle, Jerry Fasteen and John Rhine. This competent group will do their utmost to protect the OTI stand ings, which show that the Owls have garnered a 73 point-a-game average to a 57 point mark for their individual opponents. The Owls boast a sparkling .465 mark for shots from the field and a not-so-impressive .670 from the free throw line. Viking coach Sharkey Nelson is expected to start his usual lineup at forwards; Stan Weber at cen tor; team captain and present con lerence high-scorer, John Winters' at one guard slot, while little Tuf ty Scrivens will fill the remaining guard post. The Viking attack, which cen tered around Winters earlier in the season, has become better bal anced of late as all five regulars nave oeen scoring with regularity and should present added defen sive problems for the vaunted Owls to solve. Roy, who contrib uted 31 points in the last three games, and Weber, who counted 14 tallies in the PSC win over OCE, have supplied a much-need ed scoring punch, to make the Viks a crew not to be taken lightly, Tonight's preliminary game is between the National Guard quin tet and the Owl JV squad, with the starting whistle sounding at 6:30 p.m.; Saturday's prelim will pit the Jayvees against a squad from Brooks-Scanlon of Bend. It was noted that special caution will be taken to make sure that the road to the Owl gym will be kept free of ice or snow, regard less of the weather. Commission Report Shows Good Wintering Bird Count The following table presents a comparison of wintering water fowl for the past six years. Coach Editor's Note: This is the first of a series of articles on Basin coaches. By WAYNE SCOTT Wally H. Falmberg, scrappy Oregon Tech Owl boss, is a coach of whom it has often been said "Wally could make a basketball player of a small turtle. Vtnue tnis statement may or may not be true, it is certainly a known fact that a Palmberg coached team seems to have an edge over its opponent. In his fourth year at the Mile High school, Wally has already racked up one OCC championship and appears well on his way to another. Wally, who will gladly tell you he was born at Astoria, Oregon seems reluctant to mention just when the event took place. Suf fice to say that he has a son, Wally Jr., 15, a likely-lookine KU trosn eager and a daughter, Fran ces, 10, who are supervised at home by Wally s lovely wife, Lois. 1953 1954 1955 1956 1957 1958 .

Final tallies dis close more than 638,000 birds as compared to some 711,000 last year. The waterfowl inventory began on January 4 by 23 game com mission biologists working in co operation with the' U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and was com pleted on January 10. Five light aircraft were used by both agen cies covering 1,300 miles. Aerial counts were made along the Co lumbia and John Day rivers, in Coos and Curry counties, and in the Klamath Basin. Waterfowl counts in other areas were ' made on foot or by car.' ,. Most abundant bird in the" state was the mallard with a tally of more than 316.000 birds. PoDUla- tions of baldpate followed with a tally of around 84,900 birds. Pin tails were third on the list with to 28 wood ducks and two old squaw. Total duck population num bered slightly more than 567,000 birds. Goose Inventories show . consid erably less numbers than a year ago. About 45.000 geese, mostly Canadas, were tallied as compared to more than 66,000 last year. Black brant, coot, and swans made up the rest of the total win tering population. Again as last year the Colum bia' River, Cold. Springs and Mc Kay reservoirs carried more birds' than usual. Some 300,000 birds, al most half the entire wintering pop ulation, were found in these areas from The Dalles eastward. Other areas where wintering waterfowl were abundant included Columbia and Multnomah counties with a tally of. about 111,000 nirds, .Lane County in the south Willamette Valley with about 86,000, and Coos County along the coast with a tal ly of some 33,000 birds. Although fewer waterfowl were counted than last year, the nun some 74,600 birds. Populations ofjber is considerably higher than other ducks were much fewer in the five year average of 498,960. number ranging from around 10,- Prior to last year s peak figure, 700 ruddy ducks, 7.600 green- the highest tallies were 485,500 in winged teal, 5,700 scaup, and down 1 1!);6. Campy Not Much Better GLEX COVE, N. Y. (UP) Roy panclla is improving faster than Campanella showed continued im provement today in his battle to shake off the paralysis that set jn after he suffered a broken neck in last Tuesday's automobile acci dent. "The patient spent a better day (Thursday 1 than Wednesday," the latest bulletin from Glen Cove Community Hospital said. "His temperature is moderately elevat originally expected but that he re mains on the critical list. Gilford said the Los Angeles Dodgers' three-time National League Most Valuable Player "has been a good patient. Ruthe Campanella, Roy's wife, visited his bedside Thursday and reported, "he looks much more cheerful and is even telling jokes." Dave, Roy's 16-year-old ed-which is expected.

An infection in the right lung added complications Friday to the re covery of Roy Campanella. who remains on the critical list. The hospital reported that the Los Angeles catcher, who suf fered a broken neck in an auto mobile accident early Tuesday, had a rise in temperature Thurs day night as a result of the lung condition. A tube was inserted in his Canadiens Yawn At Hockey Lead By VNITED PRESS The Montreal Canadiens have difficulty stifling yawns over the National Hockey League "race" "but they're pulling out all the stops to set a new single - season team scoring record.

As a college athlete, Wally earned the distinction of making Slats Gill's All - Time Best which was compiled over Gill's 29-year tenure as OSC basketball mentor in eight separate classifications. Perhaps Wally's most deserved "bests" are those of "most natural player" and "hardest fighter." . Palmberg started his coaching career at Astoria and spent seven productive years at the coast school. In addition to winning the district title eacn of the seven years, his teams won the state prep championship twice and col lected a third, fourth and a fifth in state tournaments during the period. A single season spent at Baker High was relatively unpro ductive by Palmberg standards. Products of Wally's efforts in clude 26 basketeers who have gone ahead to play first string basket ball for many major colleges. Not able among these are Cliffie Cran dall, All-America from OSC, Stan Williamson, All-Coast star 'from the University of Oregon and Ward Paldanius, presently coach of North Salem high, the team which is so highly rated in today's prep stand ings. When asked for an opinion on his current Owl quintet. Palmberg said, "This club compares verv favorably with our last year's con ference champions. If anything it is stronger of the two, but I feel they lack the polish of the '56-'57 crew. Should you have a chance to see this year's Owls in action against the Portland State Vikings this weekend at the Mile High floor, watch for the slightly built,, brown haired gentleman in street clothes who appears to be playing every minute of his squad's ball game from the bench. If, by the re motest chance, the Owls should leave the court with a halftime deficit, it is worth the price of admission, to see what a Palm berg inspired ball team can do in the second period. By OSCAR FRALEY NEW YORK (UP) Baseball made certain today that the stars will play in the All-Star game. For 11 years it has been a bal lot "fiasco" in which fans across the nation voted for their favor ites. It became a real farce last year when a Cincinnati landslide would have made the National League team an all-Redleg aggregation. The difficulty wasn't in the bal loting of the fans but in the fact that the ballots weren't actually counted. So Commissioner Ford Frick announces that the teams now will be selected by the men who should know best who are the real "All-Stars." National League play ers, coaches and managers all will vote for the National League team, voting only for opponent players to preclude ballot box stuffing for teammates. The American Leaguers will pick their league's team in the same manner and the ballots for both teams will be counted by the commissioner's office. ."It was simply an impossibility to count the six million ballots last year," Frick admitted in wiping out the poll conducted by 250 newspapers and radio stations. There was one case, Investiga tion disclosed, where one ballot was selected out of each 100 bal lots w'.th that one ballot being used for the entire 100 votes. In another instance, a cross' section of the voles was taken and then the entire load of ballots was weighed to determine how many ballots had been received. The vote then was simply a matter of multiplication. Then, too, there was the matter of "overbalance" such as the Cin cinnati vote of last year. In the final week of voting a landslide: of 550.000 Cincinnati votes was re ceived. It would have meant an all-Cincinnati team starting for the National League. Frick knocked off three of them -Gus Bell, Wally Post and George Crowe on the theory that such players as Stan M u s i a 1 , Hank Aaron and Willie Mays de served prior All-S tar ranking. Even Birdie Tebbetts, the Cincin nati manager, would go along with that thinking. But, while it was the greatest voting swindle since Tammany Hall voted tombstones, it also proved the fallacy of the All-Star balloting setup.- v There possibly may he some bugs in the new system. Frick ad mits, but it's a start in the right direction. The Klamath Racing Association. the group who has staged the local hardtop races for the past seasons, has assumed the responsibility of working with local high school stu dents in organizing a Junior Rac ing Association. The parent organization, headed by President Buff Runnels, with Ray Brackman and Bud Cook serv ing as advisers are working in co operation with the Klamath Coun ty Juvenile Department, headed by Francis Mathews, in an effort to afford mechanically minded youngsters an opportunity to give vent to a normal desire for speed and automo-batics in a safe, su pervised activity far from the city streets and highways. The youngsters, who must be 16 years old and a senior in high school, will compete amongst themselves on the KRA's track for trophies, in supervised races to be held in conjunction with the adult club s program. Every possible safety precaution has been taken as to the inde- structability of their racers, which must be provided and maintained by its youthful owner. Sturdy roll- bars must be installed, airplane type seat belts welded to the frame, extensive plate shielding for driver protection and gas tanks placed inside the car, all to meet the rigid specifications of an adult safety and technical committee, Each driver will be provided with a proven crash helmet and must pass strict driving tests be fore being allowed to compete. The KHA will hold driver-training courses in addition to a mechan ical course on the building and maintenance of a motor. As a name for their organiza tion, the teeners have picked "Klamath Junior Racing Associ ation" and have picked a board of officers, drawn a set of bylaws, a complete set of technical speci fications and racing rules, to be adhered to rigidly under penalty of being expelled from the association. President of the junior group is Dave Blevins, vice president Tony Bonotto. Jim Hakanson, secretary. Richard Dick, treasurer while serv ing on the advisory board are Po lice Sgt. Odell Olson, juvenile of ficer Francis Mathews, KRA prexy, Runnels, Ray Brackman and Bud Cook. The club members will be iden tified by a plainly displayed club emblem on their jackets and automobiles. ' When questioned about the nec essary precautions for the safety of the boys. President Runnels said, "This isn't a thing that has sprung up overnight. Every possible as pect of safety, Insurance, educa tion and guidance for the boys has been well thought out and planned in advance. Parents of these boys are welcome to attend their meet ings and training programs and see just how well these lacis con duct themselves." Sgt. Olson of the city police had this to say, "I feel that a prop- Campanella May Prove Hard Patient To Keep Hospitalized crly supervised program of this type, will be an ideal approach to some of our teen-age driving prob lems. The club members have an opportunity to reflect a lot of cred it on themselves and their school mates, provided of course, tliat they maintain the right attitude, it s an up to them. Famed Hunter To Show Wild Life In Color Some of the nation's best out door color photography will be on display Monday and Tuesday, 8 p.m., at Mills auditorium, when internationally renowned wildlife photographer Jim Bond screens his latest technicolor productions. 'The Mule Deer," "The X-Ring" and "Saskatchewan's Fabulous Fishing." Bond is known as one of the world's greatest and most daring big game hunters, but he is far better known for his supurb cam era action shots of live animals. Some of his sequences are being used in both Hollywood and New York and he recently completed a series of programs for the Trans Canada TV network. His newest color film, "T h e Mule Deer." has taken Bond into the best deer ranges where he spent more than a year in photog raphing this wary animal. This is a complete life cycle story that covers the deer from the tiny fawn to maturity. The picture shows many big bucks. Even the predator, the mountain lion, plays a part in this colorful film. "The X-Ring" is the best of all Bond's Alsaka Yukon wildlife mo tion pictures with a number of giant bull moose, enraged grizzly bear, captivating caribou, moun tain sheep and a half million Jionk- ing geese doing the acting, The fishing picture shows the un touched wilderness of Upper Sas katchewan's 30,000 lakes and streams and its 20-pounders try ing to tear up light tick'. The Klamath Junior Chamber of Commerce'-is sponsoring the Jim Bond show. It promises to be in teresting and educational enter tainment. NEW YORK (UP) -Any day now, Roy Campanella is going to prop himself up on his hospital bed and Inquire: "Hey Doc. when am I gettin' out of here?" Campy hates hospitals. He's been in so many that some of his Los Angeles Dodger teammates kiddingly call him "Doctor KU dare."

Yale hockey players Tom Crosby and Henry Pillsbury both come from Wayzala, Minnesota. plained his nerves were being "worn to a frazzle" from follow ing the Dodger games on radio and television. . . It got so bad that Campanella put on his clothes one day and went out to the Polo Grounds where the Dodgers were playing the Giants. He came down to the bench in his civvies and the first one who spied him was his room mate, Don Newcombe. "Ain't you got the life?" New combe needled. "Loungin around up there, takin it easy and drink in' all the beer you want." Lemonade, Campanella . cor rected solemnly. Yeah, 111 bet youre strug- glin'," big Newk continued.

That wouldn't be so bad, 'cept lie does it in Spanish." Campanella never could stand inactivity and it invariably puz zled him to see another ball play er loaf. "How can they do it? he d ask. "How can they, stand out there and play ball if they don't want to do it? Me, I guess baseball's in my blood. I just gotta play or else I'm miserable. No sir, I couldn't have gone through all those seasons of playing 200 games a year if I didn't enjoy it." Although he never gained Jackie Robinson's fame as a speaker, Campanella often amazed listeners with nis cracker barrel type philosophy on all sub jects. When there was talk about governmental anti-trust legislation . against baseball not so long ago, . the portly Dodger receiver summed up the situation this way: "They can sit in Washington and debate this and that. But I want to tell everybody this. Base ball will do more, for the things which this country stands for than all their elocution. We aren't wor ried about who caught or hit the balj hls nationality or his poll tics but only about the guy who wants to .win. . , Word from Community Hospital in Glen Cove, Long Islandi where Campanella was admitted Tues-. day following his near-fatal auto mobile accident, is that tne irre pressible Dodger receiver has' be gun "telling jokes."
