Owls Thump Wolves
Twice To Cop Crown
By CLAYTON HANNOM
Herald-News Sporli Writer
Coach Wally Palmberg's Oregon
Tech Owls swept their way to a
second straight Oregon Collegiate
Conference basketball champion
ship over the weekend by rapping
the Oregon College of Education
Wolves in a two-game conference
series at the Mile High Campus
gym.
The Owls clinched the 1957-58
OCC title Friday night by thump
ing the visiting Wolves. 84-48. Sat
urday night the defending confer
ence champions started slow then
steamrolled OCE in a 92-51 rout.
The two wins closed the season
for Palmberg's club and gave
them a season's wan-lost record of
20-6. In league play the Owls fin
ished the 16-game schedule with
14 wins against two defeats.
The Owls had little trouble in
wrapping up their second consecu
tive conference basketball champ
ionship Friday night as they han
dled the ball with polish and shot
the eye out of the baskets to sub
due the out-manned Wolves from
Monmouth.
Palmberg's cagers were down
2-0 after a field goal by OCE's
Gary Milton had opened the game,
but the hand writing was on the
wall for the visitors who had
dropped 19 slraight games this
year before upsetting Portland
State College last Tuesday night.
Truman Williams tied the score
at 2-all with 18:21 remaining in
the half and John McCutcheon
chipped in with a push shot from
the base line as the Owls took a
lead they never lost.
With Jerry Fasteen, Charlie Bo
gle. John Rhine, McCutcheon and
Williams taking turns, the Owls
boomed their way into a 16-2 lead
with a little less than seven min
utes gone in the half. Fasteen
hit six of the 12 OTI points in
this spurt that buried the Wolves.
At halttime OCE was down 40-22.
OCE scored first in the second
half but the Owls picked up field
goals by Williams and Bogle to
take a 44-24 lead. Through part
of the second half, OTI doubled
the score and held a substantial
lead all the way as the Owls made
. good use of their feared fast break
and worked the ball in for easy
shots when the Wolves would make
their hosts set up an offensive pat
tern. Bogle, who didn't play the last
several minutes of each half, led
the evening's scoring with 21 points
while three other Owls tallied in
double figures. McCutcheon, who
completed his fourth year of bas
ketball at OTI Saturday night,
pumped through 18 points followed
by Rhine and Williams with 14
each. Tom Williams had 13 for
the losers.
The Owls used their height to
good advantage at both ends of
the floor and didn't give the Wolves
many "second chances" at the
basket, OTI cleared off 79 rebounds
compared to OCE's total of 25 for
the evening. McCutcheon had 16
rebounds, Williams and Bogle each
had 15.

tory in the series opener. After
holding an 8-2 lead, OTI lost
ground to the Oregon College cag
ers who were fighting desperate
ly to get in the win column in
their final conference game of the
year. The Wolves closed the count
to a 17-15 deficit with about six
minutes left in the first half.
Wayne Young tied the score at
17-all on a lay-in basket for the
Wolves only to have Truman Wil
liams give the Owls the lead
again on a shot from close in.
OCE's Tom Williams knotted the
score at 19-19, but the Techmen
were soon to come alive and erase
any hopes Oregon College root
ers had of an upset.
Sparked by the play of reserve
Dell Francis, the Owls zoomed
into a 26-19 lead with four minutes
left in the first half. Francis hit
for three points in leading his
club out of trouble. OCE closed
the count back to three points,
26-23, but Bogle hit twice from the
free throw line and the Wolves
were never closer the rest of the
way.
At halftime, OTI held a 36-27
margin.
In the second half, the Owls
went on a wild scoring rampage,
netting 56 points in the 20 minutes
of play, an average of just less
than three per minute. Moving
away quickly to a 41-27 lead, the
Tech cagers were moving all the
way, paced by a tight pressing de
fense and a fast-breaking offense.
The Owls held leads of 57-39 and
68-41 lead midway through the last
half's play.
Oregon Tech finished off its sea
son with six players hitting in
double figures. McCutcheon was
high with 18, and Williams was
close behind with 17. Francis and
Charlie Wilson came off the bench
to score 11 points each and 10
points were credited to both Rhine
and Fasteen. Young topped OCE's
Saturday scoring with 10 points.

In Last Home Games
By WifYNE SCOTT
Herald-Newi Sports Writer
The Klamath Union Pelicans,
newly-crowned Southern Oregon
Conference champions, swept
their final weekend home series in
a blaze of glory as they turned
back the Grants Pass Cavemen
70-61 Friday night and roared back
Saturday night to a 79-58 victory.
Paced by center Glenn Moore,
who collected 28 points to brin?
his career total to 1065, the Peli
cans outran, outshot, and outre
bounded the ever-trying Grants
Passers to count their highest
score of the season.
Pel forward Bob Peterson turned
in his best performance of the
year as he counted 20 points and
captured more than his share of
rebounds..
Seniors Dave Robinson and Tom
Ankeny made their last home ap
pearance with two very fine ef
forts, Robinson collecting 12 tallies
and Ankeny 10.
Big Bob Niles, although he only
hit for six markers was a big
factor in the win, as he led the
Pels in their fast break; passing
and rebounding in an admirable
fashion.
Jim Smith and Jerry Putnam
were high-pointers for the Cave
ment with 12 counters each.
Grants Pass hit a .343 from the
field and .714 from the foul line
while Klamath Falls hit .411 from
the floor and .717 from the charity
line.
The first quarter opened on a
successful free toss by Jim Smith
to give Grants Pass first blood.
Tom Ankeny quickly countered
with a jumper and a free-throw
and from hereon the period was
nip and tuck: the Grants Pass
quint grabbing the lead twice be

Clubs UCLA
LONG BEACH, Calif., Feb. 22
( Oregon State dealt UCLA's
championship hopes a crushing
blow today by downing the Bruins
in a Pacific Coast Conference bas
ketball game, 77-61. The Beavers
were pretty much in command of
the game all the way.
The victory put OSC in second
place with a 9-3 record. The Bru
ins slipped to third at 8-4. Califor
nia had a top-rung mark of 9-2 as
it prepared to meet Washington
State tonight.
Oregon State s Dave Gambee,
who poured in 24 points as OSC
beat Southern California 69-50 last
night, threw in 30 today.
His 54 points for the weekend
brought his three-year PCC scor
ing total to 1,858 points, a record.
The previous mark of 1,855 was
set in 1951-53 by Washington s
Bob Houbregs. The Beavers have
four games remaining in which
the talented Gambee can pad his
record.
The Bruins, behind 39-30 at the
half, made a determined effort
against the taller Beavers in the
later going. Walt Torrence and
Jim H a 1 e t e n, instrumental in
UCLA's 46-43 victory last night
over Stanford, alternated hitting
jumpers in the first six minutes
after intermission.
Their combined efforts brought
UCLA to within one point of OSC
at 42-41 at one time.
Tebbetts Has
Williams Jinx
CINCINNATI (NEA) - "When
I was catching with Detroit,"
Birdie Tebbetts was saying, "we
were never able to get Ted Wil
liams out. Finally we hit on the
idea of letting him call the
pitch. Figured he hit whatever we
called, so why not let him get in
the act?
"His first time up, I explained
the new plan to him and asked
him what we should call. He
thought it was a gag, but he
said, 'Fast ball.'
"1 called for the fast ball and
it came right over the plate and
Ted took it. He didn't get the gag
yet,
"I asked him what he wanted
next and he called for the fast
ball again.
"So I called for it and this time
he swung. But he wasn't sure of
us so he hesitated and swung too
late.
"That went on all day. Williams
went 0 for 5. The reason was we
had him thinking about our gags,
and he wasn't concentrating on the
ball like he usually does."
Seattle U. Upset
POCATELLO, Idaho, Feb. 22 on
Scrappy Idaho State College

and scored a stunning overtime

Seattle University. Elgin Baylor
held on to his national scoring
lead by a fraction, dumping in 32
points.
ball and a layup by Proctor,
Peterson was the big gun in the
second frame as he hit seven of
nine free throws to help boost
the Pels to a halfway margin of
39-25.
Moore sparked a 30 point third
stanza for the P e 1 s as they
swarmed over the Cavemen who
could only manage 17, chiefly on
the eltorts ot Mike bparlm.
Both teams' reserves saw a good
bit of action in the fourth frame
as Niles, Lindquist and Sparlin
fouled out. The Pels scored 12
points to the Cavemen's 16 during
the period as the gun sounded on
the final 79-58 count.
In Saturday's preliminary the
Pel Jayvees scored a 61-59 win
over the Grants Pass Juniors in
an overtime test.
CONFERENCE CHAMPS
Friday night the KU Pelicans
who ran in front all the way after
the iirst 20 seconds of the game,
blasted the Grants Pass Cavemen
70-61, to win the Southern Oregon
Conierence championship.
"The club," according to Pel
coach Don Mosaic, "played what
I feel was their best game of the
season against the best team they
nave met all season. The boys
seem to be improving steadily
ana tney were pretty good when
they started; they've hit 70 points
in tneir last five contests!
The Whitcbirds, behind a spec
tacular 25 point performance by
All-Stater Glenn Moore, hit a blaz
ing .511 from the field and a tor
rid .774 at the foul line.
The hustling Caveman quint, who
stayed within four to 10 points of:
the champions nearly all the way, j
out-percentnged the Pels from the!
field, hitting approximately 60 perl
cent of their shots. A lack of op-1
portunities to shoot, because the!
Pelican defense, beat them. At the
free toss line they collected a re
spectable .625. I
CAVEMAN DYNAMITE
Running behind Moore in the
score-column was Caveman Mike
Sparlin who was dynamite from
the outside as he swished eight
field goals and three charity toss
es for a 19 point total.
Sharpshooter Dave Robinson,
who has definitely' regained his
eye, bucketed 18 Pel tallies for
the number three slot. Springy for
ward Bob Peterson and Caveman
Jim Smith shared the number four
spot with 14 points apiece.
The Pels, performing like spring
stars, outran the speedy Grants
Passers as they used the best fast-
break offense they have shown to
date. The Cavemen were out-re
bounded two to one by the lanky
Klamathites who collected 42 of the
available 63. '
The Cavemen got off to a two
point lead in the iirst 10 seconds
on a jumper by Jim Smith but
Bob Peterson countered with five
tallies in the next 50 seconds to
put the Pels out front. They never
looked back. The first period end
ed at 15-11 for the Whitcbirds; as
close a margin the Cavemen were
to reach.
MOORE STARS
Stanza number three was a hec
tic, fast-moving affair with ball
stealing and bobbles on both sides
the order of action. Moore was the
big Pelican contributor as he
counted 10 of his total points. The
period ended at 53-43.
Peterson and Robinson rejoined
the Pels in the fourth canto, after
having sat out a portion of the
third, each having collected four
fouls. "L i 1 1 1 e" men, DeLap,
Ankeny and Hen-era turned in
creditable performances in their
stead.
Dave Robinson was tha sparkler
in the last quarter for the Pels as
he turned beautiful passes from
Moore and Niles Into nine mark
ers. Fiery Caveman, Sparlin, collect
ed eight of his specialties as he
led a Grants Pass attack that
threatened to overcome the Cave
men's 68-51 deficit, with three min
utes left, to boost them to the
nine-point final margin.
In the preliminary game, Friday
the Merrill Huskies, top ceded B
Tourney club, downed the Pelican
Jayvees 45-40.
