Oregon Tech Owls Win Two From U.S. Plywood Cagers By CLAYTON HANNON Herald and News Sports Writer Oregon Tech's Owls took time to get warmed up Saturday night, but when they got on the right track, they rallied to capture a 58-56 overtime basketball win from U.S. Plywood, the Redding Cali fornia semi-pro basketballers. The win was the second in as many nights tor the Owls over the U.S. Plywood quintet. Friday night, Tech managed to hold on in the closing minutes to pick off a 55-50 triumph. The series sweep : "3S5 bif CLAYTON HIHNON The jury is in debate at this moment in the case of the Oregon Collegiate Conference vs. Oregon Technical Insti tute. An answer is expected to come Monday afternoon or evening. What will happen to the Mile High Campus as a result of their football ineligibility remains to be seen. The con ference coaches and athletic directors have already made recommendations for punishment that should be dealt to the Owls. Whether or not their action is followed by the OCC presidents' council which meets Monday is not known. . There is some speculation that the coaches' recommendations might be bypassed and the presidents take even more action against OTI. A move to oust the school from to the coaches meeting, but nothing guess as to the possibilities of this president's meeting. If it does, Oregon Tech's chances are slim of surviving'. Not that the Mile High Campus school has done so many bad things "under the table," but the other members of the conference are under the arm of higher education within the state and claim "academic respectabil ity" that OTI is not supposed to have , as a child under the state department of education. We can not go along with this dream of academic respectability. The other members of the confer ence must have broken a rule or two since moving under the OCC constitution. One line of thought has it that Oregon Tech has come alive not only athletical ly, but also academically, and the ether conference members do not want to compete with the local school. . Oregon Teen's athletic "program has not differed much this year from what it has in the past. The only change in the script this year was that Rex Hunsak er's Owl football team not only beat every conference member, but ripped the OCC football slate wide open including 40-0 and 66-7 wins over Southern Oregon and Oregon College, something that is not supposed to happen. We ven ture to guess that if the Owls had lost one or two conference games ss ihu-y have done yearly every football season noimng would have been said. The Dot has been boiling. Wally Palmberg's Tech basketball team has won two straight conference titles. George Miller's track team has won two OCC cinder charnpion ships. Now Hunsaker wins the first Clear-cut football title for the school, and tnat, was all that it took to light the fuse. We feel that Oregon Tech oft rials made a mistake this year. But this error whether it be ac cidental or intentional 'does not teem to carry enough weight to suspend the school from the con ferenceif such action is taken by gives the Techmen a 3-1 season record as they await a two-game non-conference meeting with Northwest Nazarene College here Monday and Tuesday nights. Saturday night's hardwood ac tion on the Mile High Campus opened like a cold winter breeze as neither of the two clubs could find the basket. But on the part of the Owls, the case of jitters was serious as they stumbled and staggered through the first 13 and a half minutes of the game witn only two field goals. But ny half- the conference was started prior came of it. No one will venture a move coming alive again in the TOM SCHUBERT t . coaching HSC frosh the conference presidents. The fate of OTI lies in the hands of the four conference presidents OTI director Winston D. Pur- vine, the fifth president, may not take part in the voting and they will make some sort of a deci sion Monday afternoon. We'll just wait and see what happens, and in the meantime hope for the best. Local high school sports fans were pleased to note that C. B. Simons, a former KL'HS football and wrestling standout, was was named to the Portland Orc gonian's 1058 all-state football team.

Hamil ton broke a 34-34 deadlock with 8:45 left in the game by hitting on a tip-in basket, giving the Owls a 36-34 lead. But Mike Runge tired home a Held goal and two free throws to send USP back into the lead. Then Johnson picked up the slack and hit on a long pusher to knot the count. USP's " Ray bwartz tallied three points on a field goal and free throw, but OTPs Troy Koontz hit one free throw, Hamilton canned another tip-in and Johnson cashed in with a cripple to give the Owls the upper hand 43-41, but the Redding plywooders were not through. Bunge and Duffy Adams, a Tule- lake High School product, each tal lied from the field as USP recap, tured the lead, 45-43. But Hamilton was still alive and kicking as he hit on a jumper from the top of the key with 1:40 left in regulation play to tie the count. And that's the way it remained up to the final buzzer. In the overtime period, Hamil ton scored seven points on two field goals and three free throws and Johnson tired home a pair ot shots trom the floor to lead the Owls' extra period assault. The Owls led throughout the overtime play after Johnson hit first on a jumper from the base line, but the score was tied at 47-47, 49-49 and 51-51. Hamilton hit on a lay-in basket then added a free throw that gave Tech its deciding mar gin, 54-51. U.S. Plywood never drew up even with the Owls in the remaining two minutes and 14 seconds. Hamilton paced the Tech scorers with 19 points. Johnson finished with 12, all coming in the roll of a reserve. High for U.S. Plywood was Adams with 14. Runge and Doug McClary, the ex-University of Washington basketball standout, each had 11, the same number claimed by Tech center Paul Lay her. Friday night, Palmberg's Owls withstood a second half bid by the Plywood cagers to overtake an 11 point halftime bulge. But the Red ding semi-pros fell short of their goal after Tech gulled the game uui ui leacu in uie closing minutes, Little Leon Wilson fired homo two field goals and a free throw and teammate Charlie Ganter hit on a long push shot from side court as the Owls moved into a 7-0 lead with three minutes gone in the game.

In the second half, Tech pulled 13 points ahead, 43-30 with 12 min utes remaining in the game. Then some fine outside shooting by the Northern California independent club sliced the OTI margin. Dick Friebel hit on two long set shots and added a duce from close in to lead the U.S. Plywood drive. Dick Dallajiacomo tallied on a pair of long push shots while Oregon Tech was getting a single free throw from Ganter as the score board found the Owls leading by four points, 44-40.

MILLER CHANGES MIND Springfield's Oliver Mathews (with ball) changes his: mind in mid-air as the Pelican's Paul Bishop goes high with a successful cheek in the KUHS victory over Springfield in the season opener on Pelican Court Friday night. In the background can be seen Miller Fred Willis (53) and Bob Petersen (34) as they await developments. KU Pels In 53 Cage Season Opener By WAYNE SCOTT Herald and News Sports Writer The 1958 version of the Klamath Union Pelicans got off to a shaky start but smoothed out in the cru cial spots to pick up a pair of nerve-wracking wins from the Springfield Millers in the season opener on Pelican Court Friday and Saturday nights. The defending state champions subdued a serious Miller challenge to win 54-53 Saturday after com ing from Dchind in the closing minutes Friday to grab a 48-44 tn umph. The victories marked wins num ber 29 and JO in 31 games for KUHS and number one and two for coach Dean White who is in his first year as head of the Pel bas ketball team. Saturday night the Pelicans paced by big Bob Petersen, a vet eran of the state championship squad, and Don DeLap over came a five point deficit and at one time held a seven point bulge themselves as the lead swapped hands nine Mines during the test. Playing a less nervous brand of ball than the night previously the Pels broke even with the Millers, 16-16 at the close of the first quar ter then slipped to a 36-31 deficit at the half. At the close of the third stanza the Pels were out front 48-43 and seemed to be on their way. It almost didn t work out that way. Little Ron Kelso, the spark plug of the Springfield squad, sin glchandedly boosted his club right back in to the game as he nar rowed the score to 54-53 with 30 seconds left. In the closing seconds of the game the Pels were whistled down three limes for traveling and that was all Kelso needed. A jump ball with five seconds left gave the ball to the Pels and DeLap was fouled as he tried to stall. He missed the final free toss just as the horn sounded. DeLap was the high scorer for the night with 15 while Spring- fields Larry King, with 14, was 13, Kelso with 12, Pelican Bob Drace and Miller Fred Willis each with 10. Following chc gam e, jubilant coach White commented, "The squad looks as if they will be dangerous for any one we meet. They made mistakes but they also did a ot of things right, l d say we did the hard way." He added, '1 was not entirely pleased with our defense but you can t take anything from the Mil ler's offense, especially that Kelso and Larry King. Springfield is a real well coached club we may mcft better teams but none will be any better coached. We played better ball tonight than last; both clubs did. Of course wo may still make some adjustments." The ding dong battle saw the Pels hit 21 ol 60 tries from the field and the Millers hit 22 of 60. Petersen was the top reboundcr (or the game although the shorter Millers cleared the boards more total limes. .

JONES' OFFICE SUPPLY 2 Main Phona TU 2-4108 Grab Double Win Despite the fact that they had to do without the services of vet eran Bob Petersen for better than a full quarter of the game Friday night the Pelicans climbed t h e "steep" hill in the closing seconds of the contest to eke out a narrow 48-44 victory over the determined Millers. After moving out to a four point lead with 3:50 left in the ball game the Pels gave the Millers a chance to catch up; which they did with only 2:35 left. With 2 minutes left the Millers regained command at 44-42. Dave DeLap stepped 'into the Dreacn and calmly sank two free tosses to rotie the count with 1:35 remaining. Forty seconds later he was back at the free throw line and repeated the performap',e to give the Pels a 46-44 lead. Hero the Pels went into a half court stall and Miller Ron Kelso intentionally fouled Paul Bishop in oraer 10 give bpnngtield a chance at the ball. Bishop neatly canned the two giflies to put the icing on the cake with just five seconds left. The Millers cleared the board but the damage was done. High scorer for the night was the Pelican's Don DeLap with 13 followed, by Miller Don Johnson with 10. Kelso counted 10 for Springfield while the Pel's Jim Hall and Petersen shared the next position with Bill Karp and Fred Willis of Springfield; each of the four counting six. Being overly cautious and con servative in the first quarter the Pels were on the short end of 4 0 count before Don DeLap and Dean Dunson collaborated to bring the score to 10-all at the close of the frame. Petersen collected two fouls in the period. In the second stanza Don DcLao counted a two-pointer to give the Pels a 12-10 bulge but It didn't last as sophomore Miller reserve f red Willis potted a pair of quick ones to snatch the lead again. Johnson, Karp and Willis contrived to give the Millers a six-point mar gin but Don DeLap and Bob Lew is kept the KU club in the game and at the half the scoreboard read Springfield 25, KU 23. Peter sen collected his third personal in the frame. In the third canto the Millers garnered their longest lead of the match as they moved out to 30-23 with three minutes gone.
