Rickey Rests
Better After
Heart Attack
PITTSBURGH (UP) - Branch
Rickey Sr., Board chairman of
the Pittsburgh Pirates and ac
knowledged creator of baseball's
farm system, rested comfortably
today in Presbyterian Hospital
where he is under treatment for a
mud heart attack.
: The 76-year-old Rickey entered
the hospital Wednesday night aft
er complaining of shortness of
breath. His illness developed after
he returned from Washington
where a two-day conference of
President Eisenhower's Commit
tee for Fair Employment Prac
'tices had been scheduled. The ses
sions were cancelled because of
bad weather.
Dr. Joseph Finegold, Pirate
. physician, said Rickey had sub
- mitted to a series of tests at the
hospital. '
; "He complained of shortness of
breath. A cardiograph disclosed
a mild heart attack," Dr. Fine-
gold said. "He is being given anti
coagulants and is doing very well.
He is cheerful and does not have
temperature. His pulse is nor
mal and it was not necessary to
place, him under an oxygen tent.
. An attache at the hospital re
ported early today that Rickey
was "resting comfortably and
there is no cause for alarm.
two-game series, needing only one
more victory to grab an outright
title. OCE is seeded deep in the
conference cellar, but has always
proven toutjh to the Owls from
the Mile Hisjh Camp'JS.
Oregon Tech just missed a
chance to sew up the crown Wed
nesday niht at Ashland when it
dropped a 47-44 battle to rival
Southern Oregon. So Palmberg's
cagers are forced into their final
action of the season needing a
win to take home the OCC "ba
con." Earlier in the year the Owls
swept a league series from the
Wolves at Monmouth. Tech notched
onesided 74-43 and 73-52 decisions
over their OCE fees. But OTI fans
are aware of what happened to
their club last year at this same
time when Oregon Cc:'ese took
both ends of a season-ending series
from the Owls who had already
clinched the conference crown.
Coach Bob Livingston's Oregon
College quintet had lost 19 straight
games this season until the Wolves
took the advantage of Portland
State's Vikings 57-43 Tuesday night
of this week.
. Livingston is expected to have
veterans Barry Adams, Gary .Mil
ton and Wayne Young on hand to
lead the Wolves against the con
ference leaders tonight and Satur
day evening. These three cagers
have seen, action against the Owls
before and serve as a strong nu
cleus in OCE hopes for a pair of
upsets. ''
Besides Adams, Milton and
Y'oung, Livingston may open to
night's game with Rex Brown and
Bil; Goodman as his other starters.
Young at 6-3 will be the tallest
startei
Palmbere is expected to start
his usual five cagers. Truman Wil
liams and John McCutcheon will
be at the two forward posts flank
ing center Charlie Bogle. In back
court at guard will be Jerry Fas
teen and Johnny Rhine.
This will be the final college
basketball play for all the start
ers except Bogle who still has re
maining eligibility. Thi weekend's
series will complete McCutcheon
and Fasteen's fourth year as OTI
basketball players.
Game time both nights is 8 p.m.
A preliminary game will start
at 6:15.
