HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Ore, Thursday, January 7, 10fi0 PACK 11 A Sooner Bass Helpless Rub Salt In Wounds NCAA Imposes Oklahoma Probation Period NEW YORK (AP)-The Univer sity of Oklahoma, already smart ing from its worst football season in 13 seasons, now faces a period of indefinite probation-imposed by the executive council of the Na tional Collegiate Athletic Assn. And the mighty Sooners, three times national champions under the genius of football coach and athletic director Bud Wilkinson, are practically powerless to do anything about the stiff penalties imposed Wednesday. Under the terms of the proba tion, Oklahoma cannot participate in any post-season football games and cannot appear on any NCAA controlled TV programs. No other sport is involved. This will cost the university, perennial Big Eight football cham pion, a possible berth in the Orange Bowl and its share of the $209,000 which participating teams in a nationally televised regular season game now receive. Although the Sooners finished with a 7-3 record in 1959, they still won the Big. Eight title and are automatic choices to defend it successfully and win the Big Eight conference berth in the Orange Bowl. They also have been a fixture on the nationally tele vised game-of-the-week series for years. But all this is gone for an in definite period unless Oklahoma can convince Arthur L. Wood, a booster of the university's ath lete program, that he should di vulge financial records of a re cruiting fund. Wood, who lives In Oklahoma City, administered an athletic fund which, the NCAA said, was used for improper aid to at least one athlete and improper recruiting of football players. , The fund existed in the period 1952-54. The NCAA investigated Oklahoma in 1954-55 and on Oct. 26, 1955, the university was placed on probation for a two-year per iod. No additional sanctions were imposed. But the NCAA said it has now discovered it did not have the full information on the recruiting fund at that time or the Oklahoma pen alty might have been different. Now, the NCAA said in effect, if Wood will disclose complete de- tails of the fund, the association will review Oklahoma's case. Wood, the NCAA said, has con- sistently refused requests to make known the records of the fund on the grounds that he would jeopard ize his own position. Wednesday night Wood said he considers the matter a closed is sue, that NCAA rules were not violated and that "as a certified public accountant I would be li able to a $10,000 fine for disclos ing such information on a confi dential basis." Tulsa, the state of Oklahoma's representative In the Missouri Val ley Conference, also felt the NCAA's wrath Wednesday. The university was placed on proba tion for one year, but no TV or post-season sanctions go with the action. Tulsa's trouble came because a football player was offered a gift or loan o( $400 as an inducement to enroll at the school. The money never was paid and the boy went to another school. The donor was not a member of the athletic department, but the NCAA said, since it could not es tablish whether the offer was with drawn before or after the boy went to the other school, the uni versity was held responsible. OvjIs Face Acid Test; Pelicans Seek Revenge Palmberg Optimistic The Oregon Tech Owls face the acid test this weekend when they journey to Portland for an Oregon Collegiate Conference opening two day stand with the Portland State College Vikings. Friday night at 8 o'clock the Tech cagers meet the Viks on the Beaverton High court and the fol lowing night the pair moves over to the Lincoln High School gym for the second half of the action. Although the Vikings can not claim a true home court, the ma jority of their games and work outs are held at Lincoln. Whether the OCC title-defending Viks will need the "cushion" said to be provided in "home" court games is a matter of conjecture. The Owls, 1-6 for pre-season play, have been rated as one of the top threats in the conference this year but the Viks, 4-5, are the team that each conference coach points to as the team to beat. Despite, from a cold win-loss viewpoint, the poor start the OTI cagers have gotten off to, the caliber of the teams they have faced and the manner in which most of their defeats have been acquired keep coach Wally Palm berg and his ball team from being dismayed. "Statistically we are the under dogs, but pre-game statistics don't win ball games. It's what the scoreboard says at the end of the second half that counts. I know we have the potential to handle PSC. All we have to io is play Bear Cagers Set Benefit Tilts Friday MOUNT SHASTA Basketball fans in the Mount Shasta area get a special treat Friday night on the high school floor when the Mount Shasta Bears return from their holiday vacation to play in a special doubleheader scheduled as a benefit performance for the Muscular Dystrophy Fund. The Bears will tangle with the State Fish Hatchery quintet in the evening's opener which is set for 7 o'clock and then return to match their talents against those of a team representing McHugh Lumber Company. The Mount Shasta cagers, with only two Siskiyou league games under their belts so far, have won one and lost three, overall. Their lone win was at the expense of the McCIoud Loggers whom they thumped 63-31. The top scorer to date for the Bears is Ken Crispi who has col lected 41 points in four games for a 10.3 per game average. The Bears return to league ac tion Friday, January 15, when they host the shifty Dunsmuir Tigers who are tied for first in league standings. the brand of ball of which we are capable and get over the hump one time instead of fading in the clos ing minutes and we'll do all right." Although Palmberg did not re lease his actual starting lineup for the Friday night action, he intimated that there may be some switches from his usual starting five. Figured as cinch starting guards are Owl high-pointers Dennis Mc Kee and Roy Johnson. McKee with 72 and a 12.0 per game average and Johnson with 63 for 9.0 are each dumping field goals at a .324 clip. Paul Layher, the Owls' 6-7 center, who has missed all but four of the Owls' seven games thus far be cause of an ankle injury, probably will get the nod at the center post. Layher has contributed only 25 of the Owls' total 421 points but his field goal average is .414, the second highest on the team. The remaining two positions are being hotly contested between freshmen Gene Branson, the third high scorer with 53 points, Buddy Guill, and Norm Johns, who was impressive in the Chico State game Norm Oliva, the number four shooter, and Jack Horton, who ranks number six among the scor ers, The Owls in spite of their six losses have scored only nine points less than their cumulative opposition. Their game average is 60.1 as compared to 61.4 for the foe. The difference in most of the Owl losses has shown up at the foul line Coach Sharkey Nelson's Vikings have counted an average of 50 points per test while their oppon ents have scored 55.9 per. The Viks' starting five include the number one scorer Don Bridges, 6-3, who has hit for 98 points; Don Powell, 5-9, number two with 95; Jack Bertell, 6-5, the third man with 75; Ray Torgerson, 6-3, fourth with 60, and Bob Grant, also 6-3, number five with 39 points. Bridges and Torgerson are the top rebounders for the team, with 62 and 63 respectively. Bridges is accorded the distinction of being the man to watch since his field goal accuracy is a cool .385, but little Powell, who missed one game, is rapidly surging to the front in the score column. The Owls will leave KF early Friday morning short the serv ices of speedy guard Jim Ram seyer who is sidelined with a bad ankle TIME OUT ,.ViiV 3' "Looks like Ethel's going to go for broke!"

Representing 50 per cent of the nation's skimpy list of four major unbeatens, both fattened their streaks Wednesday in a double- header at the Palestra. Villanova, maybe the tougher of the two, made it eight in a row with a 87-65 rout of Duquesne after LaSalle had run its unbeaten string to seven by drubbing Can isius 82-68. Add Temple, Penn and St. Jo sephs, (Pa), the latter beaten only by top-ranked Cincinnati, and you have five good reasons why the Philadelphia story of basketball is a strong one again. Al Severance at Villanova is back with the junior season ver sion of a sophomore-dominated club that posted an 18-7 record last year and earned a spot in the National Invitation Tournament. Dudey Moore's LaSalle team also has a goodly number of lettermen back from a squad that was 16-7 in 1958-59. Sophomore Hubie White scored 25 points and junior Jimmy Hug- gard added 20 in Villanova's vic tory Wednesday night. Joe Heyer and Bob Alden set the pace for LaSalle, which coasted after breaking loose on a 21-10 spurt for a 41-31 halftime lead. Ed Diddle got his 701st coach ing victory at Western Kentucky i-65 over DePaul; Dayton won its ninth in 12 starts 54-51 over Xavier (0); Temple (9-3) whipped Pitt 82 74 and Holy Cross (7-2) downed Massachusetts 82-58. Marquette romped 98-64 over St. Norbert (Wis), and NYU crushed Fair-leigh-Dickinson, 82-44. Maine won its 10th without a loss 73-33 over Bowdoin, and Vir ginia nailed its second straight Southern Conference victory, 73-65 over Richmond. The loss to the Medford Black Tornado may have spoiled the Klamath Union Pelicans unbeat en 1959-60 basketball record but it also opened the door for the sharp est, most encouraging practice drills seen on the court this sea son. And it preempted some def inite changes in the KU weekend lineup and tactics. Coach Dean White said, "Maybe being beaten was good for us this week's practices have certain ly looked different anyway. We are trying a number o( combinations and the boys are really turning in some perlormancos. competition among the team members for start ing jobs has been rugged. I think you'll notice a big difference this weekend." The Pels travel to Central Point for a league game with the unpre dictable Crater Comets Friday night, then return home to host the Ashland Grizzlies Saturday night. Both games will be preced ed by JV contests between each school. Reserved seat tickets to the Ash land appearance Saturday night are currently on sale at the Kloiu- Mh County Chamber of Commerce, noted Jim Johnson, KU athletic director. Leftover reserved seats will, of course, be available at the door at game time. Early week practices at KU The powerful Yreka Miners re turn to action this weekend, the only team among Northern Cali fornia preps to play two games. The Miners are scheduled for a league match with the Dunsmuir Tigers on the Dunsmuir court Friday night then return home to! host Oregon's Eagle Point on Sat urday night. Other action scheduled over the. weekend finds the Weed Cougars stepping out of conference for a tussle with Enterprise on Saturday night. The Yrekans, who recently won the annual Anderson Invitational Tournament, are tied with the Dunsmuir five and the Weed Cou gars for the number one spot on the league ladder, each owning a 1-0 record for loop play. Overall, the Miners, led by coach Dick Edwards, have won eight and lost none. On the way to their perfect mark the Yrekans disposed of Shasta Union, Grants Pass, Mount Shasta, Red Bluff, Enter- nrlsa. Anderson and topped Or- land twice to win the double elim ination tourney at Anderson. Big Bill Wilson, who led the tour nament scorers with a 14.4 aver age, has piled up a total of 122 points in the eight games for a season average of 15.3. The Dunsmuir cagers are rid ing a 3-won, 2-lost record for overall season action to date. Tom Loney and Murray Crowe, with an 11.8 and 11.0 average respec tively, are currently fourth and fifth among the league top scorers. The Cougars, the third club in the three way hassle for the Sis kiyou top spot, are undefeated so far this season. Coach Al Ship man's crew has whipped Tulelake, Mount Shasta twice, Shasta Union, Lassen, and Dunsmuir for a 6-0 record. Doug Blankenship who has poured 111 points through the hoop in the six games is the number one shooter in the league. His average is 18.5 points per test. Weed's number two man, Chet Harris, holds the number eight spot with an 8.7 per game average. BYU Arena Turns Down Ring Match SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Box ing promoters started looking for another site today for a proposed Gene Fullmer - Carmen Basilio middleweight championship bout. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) re fused Wednesday to give permis sion for the fight to be held at the Brigham Young University fieldhouse in Provo. Utah, 40 miles south of here. The field- house seats more than 11.000. Fullmer's manager, Marv Jen- son, said the bout would have to be staged out of state. The most likely sites, he said, were Denver, San Francisco, Milwaukee or Miami. Jenson said he hopes the bout can be held in April. Fullmer won the National Boxing Assn. middleweight title by stopping Basilio in the 14th round last August at San Francisco. A statement by the LDS church board of trustees said "the tradi tional policy of the church school system has been that its facili ties are not available for profes sional prize fights." Fullmer, who lives in nearby West Jordan, Utah, is an elder and Sunday school teacher in the LDS church. have found the Whitcbirds going full bore in all-out scrimmages. At the close of Wednesday prac lice White said that three of the starting positions for the weekend action had been filled. Pelican "big" men Bob Lewis and junior Bruce Brickner, both 6-6 high, arc virtual cinches for spots, as was expected, but out front a radical change is intended Speed - burner junior Freddie Biehn, 5-9, will take command of the middle of the floor guard spot Biehn, easily the fastest man in a Pelican suit, is expected to add a great deal to the Pel offense. "He has earned the shot," said White The remaining two positions are still hanging fire, the final choice to be made by While and assistant Al Keck at the conclusion of to day's workout. The two players will be nicked from Paul Bishop, Steve Binney Don Eastman and Dean Dunson "This team doesn't like to lose you can tell that from the way they are working this week.

(AP) - "We are not mad at anybody," the presi dent of the group which owns the Senior Bowl said after the Bowl's founder criticized other All-Star Howls. Jim Pearre of Nashville, Tenn., a contractor who started the game in 1950, said that other Ail-Star Bowls pay their players under the counter to keep from harming their amateur standing.

Wednesday night, for instance (he St. Louis Hawks held Cham berlain to 27 points and St. Louis Bob Pettit outrebounded Wilt, 22 to 19, but the Warriors won any way, 121-101. Both performances were better than average for an ordinary player, but they fell considerably below Chamberlain's average. Big Will has been sailing along at a 44.6 points pcr-game average of late and has been picking off er rant shots at close to 29 per-game. However, Paul Arizin, one of of the all-time stars in the Na tional Basketball Assn., more than look up the slack, scoring 34 points to lead all scorers. Vein llatton chipped in with 18 and Tom Cola got 17 as the Warriors came from behind to beat the Hawks for only the second time this season in five starts. Pettit paced the Hawks with 24 points.

Finley M; Rae, said in a statement Wednes day. "We do not consider other all- star games illegitimate. On the contrary, we recognize the other Bowl contests as distinguished events." . . . Pearrc's remarks included a statement that he had affidavits from about 18 players in the 1954 and 1955 Senior Bowl games say ing they received payments after competing in the Blue-Gray game at Montgomery, East-West at San Francisco, and North-South at Mi ami. Officials of the East-West and Blue-Gray games issued denials. In San Francisco, officials of the East-West game, played annually for the benefit of the Shrine Crip pled Children's Hospital, denied that any player ever has been paid in the 35-year history of the conlcst. Orin E. (Babe) Hollingbery, who coached the West team for 19 years and now is its business manager, explained: "We pay transportation, furnish housing and meals for the players while they are here and pay about $8 per day to cover their other expenses. That is all. "If anyone signed an affidavit he was paid to play in the game he is a liar, crazy or misinformed. I would like to see any such af fidavit." Hollingbery said each player re ceives only two tickets to the game "so there can be -none who could make money by selling a bloc of tickets." here Friday night, dealt the CP five a 66-40 trouncing Tuesday.

Cra ter's little guard, Loyal Higin botham, however, wasn't to give up so easily and proved danger ous, as usual, from the outside.

The Klamath Basin has im proved too, with excellent results expected for widgeon, pintails and mallards in the Lost River, Poe Valley and Hildcbrand areas.
