Coach Wally Palmberg's Owls are one-game in the lead of the conference basketball race thanks to a slim 39-38 Wednesday night victory over Southern Oregon.

Palmberg carried a trav eling squad of 10 with him in cluding Charlie Bogle, John Me Cutcheon, John Rhine, Jerry Fas teen, Truman Williams, Charlie Wilson, Dell Francis, Larry Nch er, Rod Allessio and Huiph Nor gaard. Earlier this year, Oregon Tech notched a pair of wins over the Mountaineers of veteran coach Bob Quinn. The Owls topped East em Oregon, 75-56 and 84-46 in two one-sided contests.

The other EOC starters are ex pected to be Jerald Baxter and Tom Neel at the forwards and Jim Parson at center. Parson and Baxter are both 6-4, Neel is 6-2. Baxter was one of the conference's leading rebounders last year and has done yeoman service on the boards for Eastern Oregon so far this season. .

Wilson and Francis, who pulled the game out for the Owls Wednesday night against SOC, are also expected to fee plenty of action.

OP Joey Lopes battles Damasco Collazo, a relatively unknown Cuban, in a nationally televised lightweight fight Friday night at War Mem orial Auditorium. For Lopes it's an "everything In lose, nothing lo gain" ntrair. Originally Lopes was to light Taolo Rosi in New York's Madi son Square Garden, but the 10 rounder was switched to Syracuse by the International Boxing Club and then Collazo was substituted for Rosi. An injured heel caused Rossi's withdrawal. Lopez, 28. of Sacramento, Calif, fought lightweight champ Joe llcown to a draw in 10 rounds last summer, was given a title try. but went down in Ihe nth in his second match with the champ. Collazo, 29. has a record of 42 victories, nine losses, one draw and one "no contest." Lopes' rec ord is 42-14-3. Shuff-Stuff HTAM1I.VIK 3 Wnrua Pinea South Sixth Armor (iervail Tim ' Vein'.

"It will be much better for pitchers than Ebbets Field (in Brooklyn I. "Take it from me, there won't be as many home runs in the Coliseum as there were in Brook lyn. "In Ebbets Field, the wind blows out to left field and leit center and center. Wind conditions don't exist in the Coliseum. The playing field is far below ground level and those high stands shield it from the wind. "Without wind, the ball won't carry too far. A batter will have to pull the ball sharply down the left-field foul line for a home run. And with that 40-foot fence up there (behind the left-field wall), he'll have to earn it even then. It drops off fast in left field from there. WHAT DOES YOUR FAMILY WANT? Dad dreaming of a new rifle ... or maybe some fishing equipment?
