Prepare For Start Coach Wally Palmberg's Oregon Tech Owls kick off their 1958-59 basketball season at home Friday and Saturday nights when they host the Humboldt Slate College Lumberjacks in a pair of non -conference games. Game time both nights is 8 o'c'.ock. The weekend twin-bill will be the first time the public has seen Palmberg's 1958 edition of Owl bas ketball fortunes. For the past two seasons, OTI has ruled the Oregon Collegiate Conference and has rolled up impressive records under Palmberg's guidance. But this year. Tech will be put to a severe test on t h e maple court. This is a rebuilding season for Palmberg and OTI. The first six men from last season's confer ence championship season are missing and the Owls must start from the ground floor up if they are to repeat as conference king pins. The Owls went through a full game scrimmage session Monday night and are planning additional "heavy" workouts prior to their season opener Friday evening. Palmberg has been spending ".cits of time working on fast-break of fensive patterns in hopes of making up for the lack of size with some tpeed. Comprising the "overdrive" of fense Tech is expected to use this winter is the speedy threesome of Dennis ."The Menace" McKce, Leon Wilson nnd brother Charlie. JIcKee, an cx-all-stater from North Salem, and the two Wilsons, Char lie a returning letterman from last year's club, are battling for the starting guard positions. Rounding out the remaining snots on the OTI prospective start ing lineup is Pau, Layher. 6-7 cen ter, Dell Francis. 61 letterman forward, Ardell Hamilton, 6-0 for ward. Don Dick. 6-1 forward, Char lie Ganler. a forward-guard and Ralph Norgaard, a letterman for ward-guard. Humboldt State faces a season much like the Owls as the Lum berjacks are said to be rebuild ing. Coach Franny Givins. starting his sixth vear at the he.m of the TISC basketball club, lost all of his starters from last year's team but has some promising freshmen nnd reserves to form a nucleus with this winter. Following the Owls two game meeting with Humboldt State here this weekend. Tech is at home for nair of games with U.S. Ply wood, a semi-pro team from Red ding December 12-13. GETS B niTISII OPEN ST.

Players Initiate Pay Quest WASHINGTON (AP) - Major league -baseball players took the initiative today in an all-out drive for increased salaries. They asked share of the club owners' total receipts. The players' league representa tives, Robin Roberts of Philadel phia and Eddie Yost of Washing ton, arranged to confer with the owners. They planned to report back to 16 team representatives later. At a meeting Monday, ihe play ers representatives voted unani mously to ask for 25 per cent of the 16 clubs' over-all annual in come. This went far beyond their original demands for a cut of the regular season radio and televi sion money. Meanwhile, 't was the minor leagues' turn, at their annual con vention, to draft baseball players from their own ranks today after the majors had picked . off the cream of the crop, selecting 12 men for a total of $300,000. The St. Louis Cardinals, Cleve land Indians and Chicago White Sox each grabbed two draftees at the standard S25.O0O price tag. Detroit. Kansas City, Philadel phia. Pittsburgh, Milwaukee and the Chicago Cubs each took one. Three minor league teams were hit twice each under the new lib eralized draft rules permitting any number of picks from the same club as long as the players had been playing ball for four years. The three teams were Vancouver of the Pacilic Coast League and Charleston, W.Va., and Wichita of the American Assn. For the first time in many years if ever two men who were on major league rosters when the draft started dipped to the minors and rebounded to the big time all in a minute or two. When Milwaukee selected out fielder Jim Pisoni from Richmond (he hit .313 at Denver), the Braves were over the 40-man limit. They had to cut a man so they ticketed tirst baseman Earl Hcrsh to Wich ita. Detroit promptly picked up Hersh, putting the Tigers one over the limit. So they transferred Lou Skizas lo. Charleston. Almost im mediately, Skizas'was drafted by the White Sox, who also took Claude Raymond, a right-handed pitcher, from Wichita. KLAMATH FALLS, OUKGO.N Tucsdav. December 2, 1958 ew cop res Itv THE ASSOCIATED PRESS It was the start of a bland new basketball season, but some how the names seemed familiar. When major cullege court teams, restricted by NCAA rules to a Dec. 1 start, charged into action Monday night, two All America players of the 1957-58 season, Cincinnati s husky Oscar Hohertson and tiny Don Hennon of Pitt, again were listed among the leading sharpshooters. And who were the winners? Why, West Virginia, the nation's Xo. 1 team last season in the Associated Press ranking poll: Kentucky, the NCAA champion: Cincinnati and Kansas State, rated No. 2 and 3 last spring: and just ibout all the other perennial win ners. West Virginia, winning its 37th consecutive game in Southern Conference competition, lost an early lead against Furman and trailed by a point or two through most of the second half. It wasn't Harmon, OSC Top Webfoots CORVALL1S, Ore. (AP)-Lce Harman. a 6-foot senior, suffered shoulder injury last year and missed six games as Oregon State swept to a co-basketball cham pionship in the Pacific Coast Con ference. But the speedy backcourt ace showed Monday night that he ap parently has shaken the effects of the injury. Harman scored 21 points as the Beavers dumped Oregon 68-60 in the opening game of the season for both teams. It was a non-eonference game, but both teams looked surprising ly poised for so early in the sea son. And Oregon State had a new look new speed to go along two huge backboard aces. The Beavers ran and ran, shot at an accurate .429 pace and held a crucial 58-3a edge in rebounds Most of the .Oregon State re bounds were grabbed by 6-8 Gary Goblc, who got 14 points, and Karl Anderson, a 6-9 sophomore. Oregon State found another po tent scorer in its lineup besides Harman. Ho was Ted Miller, a 6-2 senior, who scored 19 points. Oregon State took an early 21- 12 lead, but Oregon came back to tie the score at 36-36 moments before halftimc. Then Harman put the Beavers ahead to stay as he drove the length of the floor for a tie-breaking lay-in. In the second half, Oregon came within a point of knotting the score, at 45-44. But then OSC went out of reach as Harman sank a field goal and Miller got three quick points. Dale Herron led Oregon with 16 points, and Chuck Rask fol lowed with 15. Both teams have non - confer ence games scheduled this week end. Oregon will meet Brigham Young Friday and Saturday in Eugene. Oregon State will travel to play at Utah those nights.

NFL Owners Act Normal PHILADELPHIA ( AP) - The National Football League is he- inning to look more like itself again. Recent league meetings have been so peaceful and lull of brotherly love they appeared more like Quaker seminars. But Monday the bubble burst. The NFL owners were acting like NFL owners. Commissioner Bert Bell continued it in a backhanded sort of way. The commissioner presided over the annual early draft ses sion during which the clubs draft ed 48 of the nation's top college football players. Iowa's Randy Duncan, a fine passing quarter back from Iowa, was llio No. 1 pick. Green Bay selcjted the 21- ycar-oid Big ion star. Then Bell "and the owners se cluded themselves in executive session. Apparently there was fire works. Bell told the press: "I told them (the owners) to stop squab bling or Ihcy could have my job." Bell attempted to smooth over the disclosure by describing it as heart-to-heart conlab with his bosses. He said he wasn't angry didn't1 threaten anyone. I told them 1 didn't want lo be a czar. I have always tried to run this league by persuasion," he said. I told them the individual bickering among owners, the squawking by coaches has got to stop. If it doesn't I'll have to run the league by the book instead of persuasion. If i can t run the league the way the book says, I will give up my contract." The owners retorted, so Bell re ported, by giving the commission er a unanimous vote of confidence and told him to operate by the book come what may.

Nu single school dominates the club, with California, Oregon Slate, Southern California and Washington State landing two players each on the lirst learn, and one each from Oregon, Stan ford and College of the Pacific. Hates, Kapp, Oregon guard Bob (irottkau and COP halfback Dick Bass won their positions handily but spirited contests developed lor the other posts as boards of news papermen and sportscasters along ihe Coast aided in selection of the team. Two sophomores, and Maiiin McKoever and giant tackle Dan Ficca. represent USC, proving the Trojans are on their way back after a poor 1957 season. Named with McKeevor at end was Slunlord s junior Chris Bur- lord, the leading pass receiver in the Pacific Coast Conference. Ore- on Slate's Jim Brackins captured the other guard position with Marv Nelson, Washington Slate's junior pivotman, winning oul at center. In the backfield with Kapp and Gass are California's Jack Hart and Washington State's Chuck Morrell. They won out in a close contest with Oregon Stale's hard running lullback Nub Beamcr. Also mak ing a bid for a first team spot was Washington Slate's Bill Stei- ecr who started the season as halfback and later was switched io end. Reamer and Stcigcr head a sec ond learn including end Jim Stef- ien of I'CLA. tackles Kurt Gcgner of Washington and Pete Johnson of Idaho, guards Pete Domoto of California and Sonny Sanchez, of OSC, and center Bob Peterson of Oregon.
