Newspaper Page Textr SUNDAY. JANUARY 11. 1959 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE 1 B IjeraliianiiSeUrs Portland State Tops wis Twice ECU Pelicans Blast Comets 6240 In Third SOC Meet By WAYNE SCOTT Herald and Newt Sports Writer The Klamath Union Pelican bas ketball team notched its second straight Southern Oregon Confer ence victory by blasting the Crater Comets from Central Point 62-40 on Pelican Court Saturday night. The win gave the Pels a 2-1 mark for league play and a 6-1 for the season to date. , Despite the fact they were play ing without two regulars, Paul Bishop, who is out with the mumps, and Dave DeLap, who suffered an injured leg tendon in practice, the Pelicans jumped off to an early lead and zoomed to a 27-11 first quarter lead and from here on were never seriously threatened. "We feel that we might have done better from the second quarter on in the scoring depart ment but we just couldn t seem to hit. Bob Petersen was sick tonight and it was an uphill battle for him just the same he pulled in 24 re bounds. We are going to keep him down for a few days and give him a chance to get well, commented KU coach- Dean White after the game. Petersen and teammate Don De Lap were the top point-producers for the contest: each with 19. Pe tersen collected the bulk of his tromfhei JS Hold on! Wait a minute! There may be a chance! That's the muttering heard this week when the NCAA slapped University of Southern California with a two-year probation for illegal athletic recruiting practices. Could this action have any bearing on a possible realignment of the Pacific Coast Conference, which is destined to die July 1, 1959? There are some diehards who think the slap against the Trojans may be a step toward drawing the coast conference schools back together. Why? There are a couple of reasons which may block the formation of the proposed new Big Four Conference and bring the PCC back together. First, with USC ineligible for post-season games and NCAA championships, it would leave only three schools in the "rebel" con ference eligible for title competi tion. And in the case of the Rose Bowl and its no-repeat rule, only two schools would be eligible if iho hnwl officials decided to slick with the three California schools (USC, UCLA and Cal) and the University of Washington for its West Coast representative in fu ture years. Second, Washington and Califor nia might have enough pride left to balk a little at being classed with clubs under a probation rap. K for no more reason than the fact that the NCAA will be watch ing (with both eyes) all athletic activities conducted by the "Big Four." There is one question that re mains unanswered in this corner. Why was it that members of the Big Ten knew about USC's prob lems before anybody on the coast? When Iowa supporters came west for the Rose Bowl game against Cal, many questions were popped in regard to Southern Cal's illegal practices. There were one or two rumors in the Los Angeles area prior to this time, but nothing to cause much comment. Could it be that the Midwest schools were taking precautions against USC. UCLA, Cal and Wash ington building up their athletic programs (especially football) to match that of the Big Ten regard less of how the buildup was to be Mr 1 J" r. II from the free throw line, hiltin 11 of 18 tries. DeLap hit 14 points from the field and a perfect S-S from the foul line. The Pel's Bob Drace and Comet Mike King shared the next rung on the point ladder with 10 each. Coach Don Anielak s Comet squad committed 29 fouls in their eagerness to stop Petersen be neath the basket and in so doing saw three of their front-line per formers benched with five fouls apiece. The Pels lqpt one man, Bob Lewis, in the third quar ter via the foul route. Comets Bill White, Wayne Allen and Chuck Turner were sent to the bench. Both squads used 11 players dur ing the game; White substituting his whole team in the closing minutes. Following their red-hot perform ance in the first period the Pels were outscored 12-6 in the second quarter, the half ending 33-23 for KU. The pace didn't get any faster i the third stanza as the Pels went without a field goal until only a minute and thirty five sec onds was left in the period. The frame ended 43-32 for the White- birds. The last quarter saw the Pell cans collect 19 points. 11 of which came via the free-throw line the Comets cast caution to the wind in their efforts to get their hands on the ball and a chance at a two- pointer. Ihe came, though it was never out of the control of the referees seemed to be the roughest of the contests the Pels have played in to date. In the preliminary game the Pelican Jayvees bombed the Cra ter High quint 53-32.

If that was the case, can't blame them. In fact, the NCAA s action failed to bring any tears to our eyes, only a smile of satisfaction. Last year about this time, bas ketball officials were charged with protecting Wilt "The Stilt' Chamberlain. Now this year, the men in the striped shirts are being blasted for "taking care" of Oscar Robertson, Cincinnati's great scorer. One to take exception to the way basketball officials are pro tecting the Big O is Dave Klur man. College of Pacific's basket ball star. COP was beaten 112-66 by Cincy recently. Klurman did say however, that Cincy would have still won the game. According to the COP eager, here is what happened: Officials warned him he was guarding Robertson "too close. Not only that, but Robertson told mm you re playing me too tight I'm going to tell the ref about it." Klurman said, I thought they were joking, but when the second half started, this official came to me and said 'you'll have to give Robertson room or 1 11 call a per sonal foul on you. "I played Robertson the same way, Klurman said, and sure enough. I was called for my fourth personal foul. So then we went into a straight zone defense and they killed us. Taking It from the men who know. Washington will win the Pacific Coast Conference basket ball championship. In a recent poll of conference coaches by Dick Strite of the Eugene Register Guard, the mentors feel the Husk tes are the top club. All of the coaches in the poll (placing all teams except their own from one to eight) except Forrest Twogood of Southern Cal and Tippy Dye of Washington picked Washington on top. The USC coach favored California with Washington second. The Washing ton boss liked UCLA. The coaches see the final lineup something like this: Washington, California. Stanford USC, UCLA, Oregon. Oregon State, Idaho and Washington State USC and UCLA were actually picked to finish in a tic for fourth while Oregon and OSC were ex pected to tie for sixth spot Oregon Tech athletes proved that there Is room tor good grades as well as lime for athletics in college today.

UCLA had a halftime lead of 39-34, widened it early in the second half, and then withstood spirited closing rush by the Beavers. Walt Torrence of the Bruins and Oregon State's Lee Harman put on great individual duels, but Tor rence had a better supporting cast and came out on top. The Bruin guard wound up as high scorer with 28 points and Harman had 25. The resurging Bruins, after very wobbly start in their cam paign for a Pacific Coast Confer ence title, now have a 3-2 rec ord and are only a half game off the pace set by California and Southern California.

Halftime: SOC 45, EOC 23, By CLAYTON II.WNON Herald and News Sports Writer Portland State College's highly regarded Vikings opened their 1959 Oregon Collegiate Conference season as expected here this week end by sweeping a pair of easy basketball wins from the out gunned Oregon Tech Owls. Coach Sharkey Nelson s Viks rolled over the Owls 73-49 Friday night in the counting season open er, then coasted to a lopsided 86-58 triumph over the Techmen in Saturday night s meeting. Portland Stale posted its seventh and eighth wins of the season in the OTI series against two set backs. The 86 points chalked up Saturday nisht was a season high for the club, and forward Don Bridges' 25 points, which was high for individual scorers in the Sat urday game, was also high for any Portland Slate eager this season The Vikings had too much, the Owls too little. That was the story of the first OCC action to be seen here this year. Saturday night. Portland State got the jump on the Cwls and kept them off balance during the first half to run up an insurmountable 52-19 lead at halftime, and the Owls were never in the game, even though the Mile High Campus bat tlers outscored Portland State in the second half, 39-34. Bridges, who hit from all angles, tied the score at 4-4 with two min utes gone in the game, then team mate Johnny Fredricks pushed home a long one handcr to send PSC into a lead they never re linquished, 6-4. Fredricks and Johnny Winters teamed together to &park the Portland State offense in the next few minutes as th Vikings moved ahead 6-6 with 13 minutes left in the half. Portland State continued to blitz the Owls defenses with Bridges Fredricks, Winters Stan Weber and Bcrnie Jones all sharing in the point production. In rne tirst halt, Portland State hit 16 of 36 attempts from the field, for a .444 percentage. In the game, PSC connected on .352 per cent of their field goal tempts, 31 for 88.

Ihe Tech playmaker fouled out of the game with 3:45 left in the first half. Portland State lost Bridges with 6:10 left in the game, but the trend was already established and the Vikings got along with out him. Friday night's conference opener took on the looks of a football game through most of the contest, ith both clubs playing ragged and rough basketball. A total of 47 per sonal fouls were whistled down by the two game officials and more could have been called in accord ance to the way the two teams played. Oregon Tech lost the services of reserve forward Jack Horton the first half when he was struck by a flying elbow in a wild melee under the basket. Horton had two front teeth knocked loose and underwent an hour and a half of surgery Friday evening in an ef fort to save the teeth. According to reports Saturday. Horton s two loose teeth have been braced and ith the proper protection he can return to action any time. Portland State was in complete command of the situation after the first four minutes of play.

Port land State got a field goal from Don Bridges and a free throw by Stan Weber to knot the score at 9 with 16:05 left in the half. In about three minutes more piaying time, TSC jumped into a 16-9 lead ftcr Johnny Winters chipped in a field goal and free throw. Weber added a tip-in basket and Berni Jones fired home a long jump shot. Meanwhile. Tech went scoreless for nearly five minutes and was the short end of. the score board the rest of the night. With five minutes to go in the first halt. Portland State led 27-16. At halftime. the Owls trailed by 13 points, 37-24. Portland State continued its as sault in the second half Fredricks and Weber leading the way. With 11:18 lelt to play PSC was in front 48-31. The widest spread of the contest came with about seven min utes to go and Portland State led 60-34. Oregon Tech's only bright spot in the game was the brilliant play of freshman guard Jim Ramseyer who led the evening s scoring race with 23 points. Ramseyer's effort made it four straight games he has cracked the double figure scor ing column. Fredricks paced the winners in scoring with 21 points. 12 coming in the second hall. Three other Portlanders hit in. double fig ures, Weber with 17, Winters with 14 and Jones with 10. .. PSC also made good use of the 6-6 Weber who picked off a major share of rebounds.
