Oregon Tech's league - leading
' Owls arrived in La Grande late
Thursday for a pair of Oregon
Collegiate Conference basketball
games with Eastern Oregon Col
lege Friday and Saturday nights.
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. But
the league leaders are faced with
two tough battles at La Grande
if they intend to return home Sun
day with the lead safely tucked
away.
The Owls left early Thursday
and scheduled a light loosening
up workout at Eastern Oregon
Friday. 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. EOC is expect
ed to prove a tougher foe on their
home floor, the "cracker box" of
the league.
Eastern Oregon s attack will be
led by senior guard Dick Quinn,
son of the Mounties' coach, Quinn
Is his team's leading scorer and
gave the Owl defense trouble in
the two clubs earlier meetings
Qulnn's runningmate at the other
guard position will be Larry How
ard, who like Quinn stands 5-10
and scores very well.
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.
. Tech will counter McCutchcon
and Williams at forwards, Rhine
and Fasteen at the guards and big
Charlie Bogle at center. Wilson
and Francis, who pulled the game
out for the Owls Wednesday night
against SOC, are also expected to
fee plenty of action.
Both of the OTI-Eastcrn Oregon
learns will be aired to Oregon Tech
ians at home over Radio Station
KFLW. Broadcast time both nights
is a o clock.
Other OCC basketball action is
scheduled at Ashland Friday and
Saturday nights. The second-place
soutnern uregon lied Raiders will
host Oregon College, which has yet
to win a game In conference play.
Portland State, the fifth member
of the OCC will travel outside of
the league for a Friday night
game against Seattle Pacific.
Joey Lopes,
Unknown Vie
SYRACUSE, N. Y. 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.

The KU Pelicans, sharp from a
week and a half of extensive
drills in both offensive and defen
sive moves, left Friday morning
for .Medford to challenge the Black
Tornados on the Medford court
! in a two-game SOC series,
The teams come to grips at 8
j o'clock both tonight and Saturday
night. A large contingent of local
Pel boosters is expected to make
the trek over the Green Springs
to watch Ihe arch-rivals in the
last two of their meetings for this
season.
Since the lime the rivalry be
came traditional in 1010, each
school has racked up 51 wins.
In evening the game-count, the Pel
cagers downed the Tornados in
their first two games this year,
50-40 and 60-31.

The Whitebirds' troubles at
Grants Pass, where the Cavemen
knocked the Pels unbeaten record
into a cocked hat, were evident
ly the best thing that could have
happend. Since that date the KU
cagers have reviewed their own
case and, as was illustrated in the
unmerciful beatings administered
to the Crater Comets, 67-30 and
61-29, have corrected their lack
adaisical attitude to settle down
to good solid performances.
The Black Tornados, under the
resolute guidance of coach Frank
Roelandt, has waxed warm in their
last few outings. Sporting a four
won, four-loss record, Ihe Medford
crew is presently sharing the num
ber two spot in conference stand
ings with the Grants Pass Cave
men.
In their games against Ihe Cra

he said. "I've never seen anything

"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.

That's the way it played for the
three leaders. They carded 6-un-

on any hole.
It played that way too for many
of the other 42 pros and an ama

Some of them gave other rea
sons for the Jow scores. Jim Rig-
gins, Anderson. S.C.. thought his
drives laid the groundwork for his
65 and a tie with John Barnum,
Grand Rapids, Mich., in the runner-up
spot.
"If your driving is good here,
you've got it made," he said.
The veteran Barnum called EI

Others liked the warm desert
