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

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 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.

time they began to move, and at
the midway mark in the second
half the Owls were battling the
Plywood cagers on even terms.
Ardcll Hamilton and Roy John
son picked up the Owl bootstraps
and sparked the Tech come-from-
behind, overtime victory. 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. From this point on, the
Owls led through the halftime in
termission with U.S. Plywood
drawing to within five points at
the nearest point.
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.
The Plywood quintet cut the mar
gin to three 49-46, 51-48 and 53-50
before Ganter put the game out ol
reach In the closing seconds o
play. The junior forward frorr
Portland hit two free throws wit!
only 18 seconds remaining to "ice'
the Tech triumph.

MILLER CHANGES MIND Springfield's Oliver Mathews (with ball) changes his:

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

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. Petersen
was awarded his fourth foul and
