Kep your eye on Portland StaU College's 19S9 Ore-
gon lonegiare tonference basketball team. Coach Sharkey
Nelson's Vikings have been down for the past couole of
seasons, but things are looking up for the conference's
largest school.
Although there were a

ference title twite. Wally Palmberg's two OTI champion-
snip ledius. were noi spectacular like PSC is this year,
instead they were well polished and worked like a precision-made
watch.
There seems to be just one weakness staring Nelson in the face
at this time. His bench strength doesn't seem to go along with his first
five. In the event of any injuries to his top five or six ball plavers,
Sharkey may develop some nasty problems filling the holes.
nun jonnny winters ana Bernie
Jones, Nelson has two good ball
handlers and scorers Winters with
his touch and eye, Jones with his
tremendous spring-steel legs and
jumping ability. Jones also, gives
Portland Mate its first big floor
leader since the davs of Paul
Poetsch, who many local basket-
Ball ians win remember did every
thing but coach the PSC teams a
lew years back.
We recall three or four fine de
fensive checks Jones applied on
OTI shooters last weekend when
the Vikings and Owls collided. But
what caught our eye was when he
out-rebounded his 6-6 teammate
Stan Weber and out-jumoed OTI
center Paul Layher 16-7) on a jump
ball situation. Jones is only 5-11.
but can take care of a much tall
er foe.
Winters had a chance to set a
new school free throw record here
Saturday night, but the pressure of
such a mark must have been too
tough. Johnny needed six free
throws to set an all-time Portland
State record for charity tosses
made good: Instead he hit only
three of 10 attempts, none in the
second half. He could break the
mark tonight as PSC plays at Port
land University. He needs only two
to tie and three to break the old
record held by Poetsch.
Winters is not only the leading
Portland State scorer and top free
throw shooter, he is second in re
bounding. Who is first? You
guessed it, Jones. Bernie had
cleared 64 rebounds going into the
Saturday night game with OTI, and
Winters has 62. That's not too bad
for a pair of guards standing 5-10
and 5-11.
Oregon Tech can look back on
tts pre-season play this year with
some satisfaction. The Owls can
claim the distinction of scoring
above average on the nation's lead
ing small college defensive team
according to NCAA statistics.
In the latest NCAA basketball
records, Humboldt State College
was the nation's top defensive
team. In seven games Humboldt
has given up an average of 43.4
points per contest. The second
place team in the NCAA stats is
California Western which hi seven
games has allowed a 48.6 point
average per game.

this is: Cary Middlccoff, who

A word of warning. Watch out
for Southern Oregon College's

The Red Raiders could be a sleep
ing giant.
In all pre-season ratines. South
ern Oregon and Oregon Tech were
rated fourth and fifth because the
two schools lost heavy in gradua
tion. But Ted Schopf's Raiders
stepped out of the dark last week
end to club heavily favored East
ern Oregon twice, and by healthy
margins.
According to Buck Buchanan of
the La Grande Evening Observer
who traveled to Ashland with East
ern Oregon last weekend, the Red
Raiders are anything but dead,
1 hat Carngan and Biddington and
13 Olivo killed us. Their coach
(Schopf) said the club had just
jelled the past few days and are
ready to go.
Buchanan has lots of confidence
in Dave D'Olivo, the senior forward
from Klamath Falls. According to
the La Grande scribe, Dave hit
75 per cent or better of his shots,
scored from all parts of the play
ing floor and worked the boards
well.

Earning numerals for frosh foot
ball this past fall was Larry Senn,
1958 graduate of South Eugene High
School. Senn played three years of
lootball lor the Axemen including
games here at Modoc Field. He
was also a star sprinter on the
SEHS track teams.
Senn was the starting left half
back on the plebe squad until the
final game of the season when he
was sidelined by a minor knee in
jury. According to reports from
nnapolis, Senns injury has not
handicapped his running.
The speedy Oregonian is a candi
date for the Navy varsity and will
probably be with the Middies when
they report for spring football prac
tice under coach Lddie hrdelatz.
At the present time, Senn is work

Army today began the long quest
for a new football coach and ath

abruptly quit.

Tuesday, effective Feb. 15, his

"This is the proper time to

To a man. Army brass said they
were caught completely flatfooted.
One high West Point officer said
"We were so surprised that we

There are several theories about
Blaik's resignation.-
It has been said he has a bad
stomach and the steadily increas
