SUNDAY. DECEMBER 28. 1958 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE S B Palmberg Calls Club Back Pelicans Return To Work Owls' Vacation Cut Short Coach Wally Palmberg calls his Oregon Tech Owl basketball squad back onto the playing court bun day evening as the Tech cagers return from their abbreviated Christmas vacation. The Owls are pointing for their next maple court play January 2 and 3 against Westminster College at Salt Lake City. On their road trip, they will tangle with North west N'azarene January 5 at On tario on their way home. Palmberg has two-a-day prac tices billed for the Techmen this coming week as they prep for their three-game road trip, the first out ing away from home this season As the Tech cagers await their three - game junket, Palmberg s crew holds an even split in the fix games playeo to date, winning three and losing three. Earlier in the season, Northwest Nazarene whipped the Owls twice on the Mile High Campus floor, opening up a new basketball rival ry tor Ull. ine iwo-game series with Westminster will also add a new foe on the Owl basketball records. Reporting along with the Oregon Tech squad this evening will be a few new faces, which are expected to strengthen the Owl basketball roster. Heading the list of new comers is 6-4, 240-pound Arnold Metcalf. the big Tech football tac kle who was waiting until the end of the fall term to become eligible for basketball. Jess McCutcheon is another new possibility with which Palmberg can insert some added height and backboard sirengtn Metcalf, who moves extremely well for his size, has been working out and is reportedly in good shape. McCutcheon Is a name fa miliar to local basketball fans. Jess is the younger brother of OTl's all-conference standout John Mc Cutcheon who finished his college basketball eligibility last season un der Palmberg. Jess, a freshman, stands 6-4 and has enrolled for winter term at OTI. He played his prep basketball at Willamette of Eugene and hpnngtieia, me tat ter as a member of the Millers itate tournament team With the addition of Metcalf and McCutcheon. Palmberg may move Ardell Hamilton to a guard spot to strengthen the Owls backcourt weaknesses. Hamilton, the team': leading scorer, has looked impres sive at times in the first six games and needs only a little more ex perience to become a fine ball player according to Palmberg. Working Hamilton at guard, direct ing the Tech attack may make bet ter use of his speed and shooting ability. Going into the "new year," Ham ilton heads the Owl scoring race with 80 points in six games for a per-game average of 13.4. Second hiehest ooint producer for Tech at this stage of the season is Charlie Wilson with 60 points, and an even 10 points per contest.

(AP) - Youth and punch beat youth and experience Friday night as Gar net (Sugar) Hart of Philadelphia took a split decision over New Or leans welterweight, Ralph Dupas in a 10-round bout. ' ' The defeat put an end to Du pas boast that he never had lost to a welterweight, and the victory for Hart bolstered his position as contender for Don Jordan s crown. How soon the Philadelphian will get a title shot is problematical, but Harry Markson, International Boxing Club executive director who watched the fight, indicated Hart would have to wait a while at least. Dupas was not particularly downhearted by his setback. which was by the narrowest of margins. Asked how he rated Hart among the other welters he has met, he said he rated him right along with Vince Martinez as the toughest he has fought. He beat Martinez. It was a ding-dong battle from the start in Miami Beach Audito rium, and it was Hart's punching power he had registered 20 knockouts in 29 previous fights which was the difference. Although Dupas is the same age as Hart 23 he started young and has had 90 bouts, exclusive of the Hart affair. x Referee Jimmy ' Peerless gave the fight to Dupas, 98-97, based on the 10-point "must" system for the winner of each round. Judge Gus Jacobson had Hart in front, 95, and Judge Stu Winston's card had Hart on top, 97-94. ine Asso ciated Press card had Hart win nine 97-94. The nationally televised bout drew 2,846 fans who paid $7,172.25 to see the ranking welters battle it out. Hart is rated No. 2 and Dupas No. 4. Orangemen Set For Trip South RALEIGH, N.C. (UPI) Syra cuse University's Orangemen went throuch their last drills here Satur day before leaving for Florida and their New Year's Day meet ing in the Orange Bowl with Okla homa. Bv the time the squad finished preliminary drills tor tne game Art Baker, a sophomore from Erie, Pa., appeared certain to fill a backfield vacancy that has fle veloped during the squad's two week drill period here. He will probably take the place of Ed Keiffer at the fullback spot. Keiffer. also a sophomore, was hurt in the first day of drills and has returned to the team as second-stringer. trainer for the University Wichita, died in a Corvallis hos- oital early Saturday. Needham suffered a stroke the night of Dec. 13, when the Wichita team lost a basketball game 72-55 to Oregon State College here. Klamath To Meet Challenge The holiday season ended Friday afternoon for coach Dean White and his Klamath Union Pelican basketball team as they settled down in earnest to get themselves set for the 1959 Southern Oregon Conference cage wars which open on Pelican court next Friday night when the Grants Pass Cavemen ar rive for their first visit to Klam ath Falls. Following the Friday night clash with the Cavers, the Pels meet what the dope sheets term the big challenge to their supremacy, the Medford Black Tornado; the game to be played in Medford on Satur day night. Throughout the coming season, all the SOC contestants play sched ules matching two different teams a week. The contest with the Cavemen finds the Pels meeting the only club to collect a victory over the 1958 KU State Championship squad. Last season the Cavemen caught the Pelicans napping and notched 52-46 win In the second of their four game series. In preseason games this year, the Pelicans (4-0 have shown ad mirable ability as "a come from behind" winner, having scored a pair over the Springfield Millers, 48-44 and 54-53, Doth games being decided in the last few seconds of play. Their next outing saw them overcome a 13-point flelicit at tne hands of the Marshfield Pirates and move to within four points with 31 seconds left. Some sharp ball hawking by guard Dave DeLap gave the Pels a tie which dissolved in their favor, 74-72, in the second and "sudden death" overtime pe riod. On the same junket to Coos Bay the Pelicans were nearly caught by a fired-up North Bend Bulldog quintet before they finally eked out a narrow 48-47 victory, this one also in the closing seconds. The Grants Pass five have col lected four wins and two losses so far this year; their wins com ing at the expense of Marshfield North Bend, Weed and a split with Roseburg. The other loss was credited to the Yreka Miners in the season opener. Medford, like KUHS, is unde feated this season. A 64-48 triumph over Marshfield was followed by a 56-44 win over North Bend. A pair of scheduled games with South Eu gene was stopped at the halfway point by an OS A A ruling concern ing the Axmen; Medford -having al ready gained a 48-41 victory. Fri day night the Tornado blew past the Corvallis Spartans, 58-43, with another test slated for Saturday night. The practice schedule for the Pelicans puts them on the court each morning at 10 o'clock for the remainder of the week with the possible exception of New Year's Day when they will meet in the afternoon for a short shooting ses sion. Friday evening's session found the Pels doing without the services of Bob Peterson and Bob Drace, who were sidelined with minor ail ments: Peterson with a bruised foot and Drace with an infected tooth. Returning to practice for the first time since the North Bend match when he was taken sudden ly ill was Dean Dunson. Dunson had been suffering from a severe tooth infection. Probable starters for the Grants Pass match were unavailable at this time.

A four-man relay race around the icy waters of Lake Tahoe, site of the 1960 winter Olympic games, was supposed to be through heavy snows not to date, no snow. A survey taken by the Track and Field News gives Bobby Mor row, triple-Olympic medal winner at the 19d6 games in Melbourne, the crown as the greatest sprinter of all time. Under a point sys tem used on the survey, Morrow compiled 432 points against 280 for Ralph Metcalfe and 224 for Jesse Owens. Owens won four gold medals in the 1936 Olympics. Other leaders were: Charley Pad dock, 19,1; Lloyd LaBeaeh of Pan ama, 188; Dave Sime, 183; Bar ney Ewell, 182: Mel Patton, 181; Harold Davis, 172, and Andy Stan- tieio, 171. . . Random thought: One. of the nicest guys we've ever met in the coaching profession is head coach Milt Bruhn of Wisconsin. He s here as assistant to head coach Duffy Daugherty of the East Shrine squad Bruhn, incidentally, has his own version of how to win football games. It was given to him by the late Bob Zuppke: "A punt and a pass and a prayer don't always win football games. The Lord is on the side of the team with the biggest tackles." BRISBANE, Australia AP) -Capt. Perry Jones said Saturday night Barry MarKay and Alex Ol medo would play the opening sin gles against Auslialia in the Davis Cup challenge round Monday. In a hurriedly called late eve ning news conference, he also an nounced Ham Richardson, the No. 1 U.S. player, and Olmedo would play the doubles. Jones' announcement ended long speculation over the singles selec tions. He said he believes his U.S lineup has the best chance to beat Australia next week. Chief counsel Jack Kramer was on hand when the announcement was made. No players were present. "My decision on this matter was dictated by the physical side of it, Jones said. I felt that Rich ardson would be unable to play top-flight tennis m intense tropical heat for three days. Richardson said he was deeply shocked by the announcement. He criticized Jones method of mak ing the selection "He did not have the courage to tell us, Ricnardson declared adding that Jones did not show any conviction. 1 "As a result, our team has been in a state of strain not knowing who would play and unable to point to the Australians. This is my last Davis Cup campaign, Richardson added. This is my last year of big time tennis." He repealed that it was incom prehensible to him that he should be left off :he singles line-up, pointing out again his No. 1 rank ing and his superior record.

Canadian Ski Star Honored TORONTO (AP) Last Febru ary, 23-year-old Lucile Wheeler capped 13 years of rigorous train ing by winning two events in the World Alpine Skiing Champion ships at Bad Gastein, Austria. The performances stamped her as Canada's Outstanding Female Athlete of 1958. The award was made official Saturday by the country's sports editors and broadcasters partici pating in the 24th annual Canadian Press year-end poll. The blue eyed redhead, only Canadian to win a world title m skiing, took honors by a tremendous margin over 21 other nominated athletes. Voters were asked by CP to name the best three lanaaian female athletes, in order, and the now retired world champion from St. Jovite, Que. dominated the noil with 218 noints. Mrs. Marlene Stewart Streit of Toronto, one of Canada's all-time great female golfers and poll win ner in 1957, was second with 127 points. Ernestine Russell, 18-year-old gymnast from Windsor, Ont., who won both the Canadian ana American championships, third with only 28 points. Hawkeyes Work On Field Goal PASADENA, Calif. (UPI) - Iowa, one of the nation's finest offensive teams, won't be caught napping if the Rose Bowl game with California comes down to the wire when a field goal would be decisive. Coach Forest Evashevski had end Bob Prescott hard at work Friday kicking field goals from all distances. The reserve connected several from the 35 yard range. Meanwhile, Iowa was devoting considerable attention to passing, with quarterbacks Randy Duncan and Mitchell Ogtego tossing more than 40 between them. Duncan hit 14,763; Bradley 14,200 and Port-i land 14,0110 miles . . . and only a bare handful of the nation's teams traveled less than 2,0(10 miles dur ing the season. fcd Furgol. the former U.S. Open champion, and slender Gardner Dickinson both happily report that they are recovering from operations and are ready to take another good shot at the pro our. I L'RGOL BOUNCES BACK Furgol first was so despondent after a bone chip operation on his eood right arm that he said he was giving up tournament golf for good and would take a club lob.

OCU, which lost in last year's finals to San Francisco 60-45, came out from behind early in Friday night's first round game and then staved olf a San Fran cisco rally to win 72-64. The Chiefs, small but fast, will have a tough time trying to con fine the shooting of Xavier's Stein and an aggressive attack that has made top-seeded Xavier the na tion's No. 10 ranked team. Both Oklahoma City and Xavier went into the tournament with 5-1 records. The only other team with a 5-1 record. Tulsa, was upset 78-67 by Duquesne, which had a 2-4 season mark before the tourney. Tulsa played a listless came. and was completely out-manned on the boards. Roger Wendel saved Tulsa from a complete rout with 29 points, the most made by any player in the tourney's first round.

Northwest Had Good Sports Year In '58 By JACK HEWINS SEATTLE (AP) The year 1958 deserves to go down in sports his tory as the year of the short-short boxing story, the first sinking of a Coast Guard vessel in this .cen tury or the year that Washington tripped the f ruds. It also could be called the Anne Quast year, the Nancy Ramey year, the Elgin Baylor year or the year of Victor Denny, if you fancv eolf. swimming, basketball nr tennis. All these things and people were headliners in 19.58, but for sheer n-nrrinue and staving power the yarn of the year was the contin ued story that hasn't ended yet the agonizing demise ot tne racu lo Coast Conference. It's a story that died slower than a turtle and one with more branch es than a Christmas tree. The vear was only a few hours old when Oregon, one of the confer ence's Unwanted Four, put up such a scrap against Ohio State In the Rose Bowl that many west erners still think the Webfoots won. California. Washington, Southern . California and UCLA organized the Bi Five with four members, feat usually accomplished only hy barbershop quartets. With nice dramatic timing, the climax was saved for the end of the year. That was the "Nyet from UCLA and Southern California when Washington State asked the defuncting conference tor appro val to accept a bowl bid. Still irked by the majority vote that penalized them for cheating on the rules, the Big Two invoked a technicality to get even with one of the majority. While the decline and fall of the PCC was the chief attention getter in the West, other stories involving westerners had more impact nationally and internation ally. The victory of the University of Washington crew over the Lenin. grad Truds et al in Moscow was news that circled the globe. So were the swimming records set by Nancy Ramey of Seattle and the election of Seattle's Vic Denny as president of the United States Lawn Tennis Assn. Wherever golf is played the fans know Anne Quast of Marysville Is the U, S. women's amateur champion. Unlimited hydroplanes niaka a larger news splash every year and the Northwest has become thun derboat. capital ot the country. The Apple Cup at Chelan and Coeur d'Alene's Diamond Cup have grabbed spots on the racing circuit. The Gold Cup race at Seattle in 1958 was one of the most dramatic in the event's half-century history. The flamingo-pink Hawaii "Kai, running its only race of the year, roared to a convincing victory. Miss Thriftway roared out of con trol into one of the patrol boats and gave Driver Bill Muncey his punch line for winter banquet speeches: "I'm the first man to sink Coast Guard vessel since the Spanish-American War." The short-short fight was almost a 1958 trademark. Pat Mc.Murtry of Tacoma kayoed in Round 1 by- Nino Valdez; Alex Miteff dittoed in ditto by Willy Besmanoff; Pete Rademacher whacked in the fourth by Zora Folley. And Grand pa Kid Matthews unretired and re-retired within a week without thrnwina a Duneh.

(AP) - Coach Pete Elliott of the Califor nia (jolden Hears agrees wai Iowa should be favored to win the Rose Bowl game, but he's not about to admit they'll do it. As for the 18 or 19 points quoted on the champion Hawkeyes of the Big Ten, Elliott said he Is neither concerned nor perturbed at such odds. Idwa's record of one loss and one tie during the regular season gives them an edge over the Bears 7-3 record, in tne eyes oi the experts. Elliott, who set up training snop in the Hose owi area rnaay said he is not one to make pre dictions about the outcome of a same. Forest fcvasnevsKi, iowb s coach, from the outset branded the big point margin ridiculous. and hasn t changed nis , mina about California, which he calls a good tootoaii team. Both squads held single work outs Saturday, each emphasizing defense and perfecting timing on offense. Celtics Win By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The headlong plunge of the Philadelphia Warriors to the low er depths of the National Basket ball Assn.'s Eastern Division has been stopped and it took a rookie to do it. Young Guy Rodgers, a former All-America from Temple, put on a great performance Friday night leading the Warriors to a 106-93 victory over the New York Knick erbockers at Hershey, Pa.
