J8f BARKS 'N' BITES $ 1 1 ila IVON HOWARD . . bushes to majors This afternoon's Pro Bowl game puts the wrapper on .the football season for another year and that Winter Mad ness, basketball in some circles, is just getting nicely .started, so . . . naturally, it's time to get in a little plug for baseball. For this Job we call in one of our (op correspondents, J. O. McKinney, from Ml. Shasta. J. 0., like myself, is not an exactly avid ' skier ... he doesn't mind the snow and he's happy for the skiers on Mt. Shasta but he still would Just as soon talk baseball. The following is a report from McKinney, who visited one of the real oldtimers of the diamond, lvon Howard, recently: By J. O. McKINNEY Guest Columnist "So you want me to tell you of my baseball career? That's quite a story!" This was lvon C. Howard talk ing. He was sitting in the living room of his splendid country estate in the Siskiyou foothills. Norman Swan, a college baseball pitcher with a hop on his fast ball, and I had gone there to talk to the vet eran player. My desire was to get ; a story. Norman wanted to sit at the feet of the player whose wise ' guidance has sent so many rookies to the big leagues, lvon was asked to tell the whole story. ' "That's impossible," he stated firmly. "During my tenure in base ball, I went from the scrubbiest ' bushes to the big league. I filled about every position from mascot ' to manager. Never won too many medals, but I got by. And they tell me I was a real good mascot." The veteran's eyes, bright as when he was looking over the Ditching of the best in the busi ness, twinkled as he recalled his mascot assignment. It was with the Mattoon, Illinois, Independents. The team was made up of deaf mutes save two players who were nor mal. One was George b. uei Howard, brother of the mascot, and one other whose name is now for gotten. Dummy Taylor, later a ; fine big league pitcher, was the mainstay on thev mound for the Mattoon club. An incident recalled by lvon was when two young ladies passed the ."team sitting on the bench, and one said: "Isn't it a shame that sucn fine looking young men are deaf- and-dumb?" "Del" Howard, a most articulate man, replied: "Isn't it?" The ladies fled in confusion. Another assignment on the way up was playing with Ggodland, Indiana, in what was known as the Wagon League; It was a loose ly organized circuit. The players went from town to town via horse drawn conveyances. lvon, being farm raised, was driver. That was in 1904. The teamster must have shown other abilities, In 1905 he played with Omaha in the Western League. , Next step was to the Coast League with Los Angeles, Angels. In 1908, Howard took the base running honors, and the team took the league pennant. lvon believes that with the recent passing of another of that old guard, Deacon Van Bu ; ren, that he is now the sole sur vivor. The climber went to the big leagues wilh the St. Louis Browns. This was in spite of a . 6houlder injury that cut down his throwing ability. His timely hit ting, and speed on the bases were too i!ood to be kept down. While a member of the Browns lvon recalls that he narrowly missed a chance at a World Series, an honor that eluded him. He was sold to Philadelphia Athletics ' 1914, but recalled after tickets to ' the Quaker City were secured. The Athletics won the pennant, V only to be badly outclassed by the Boston Braves, of the National League, in the fall classic. "I've always felt," said lvon "that I might have hit a few off Rudolph, Tyler, and James, but I'll never know." . In 1915, Howard was traded to the Cleveland Indians, also in the ' American League. There he stole ' 29 bases while playing in 103 games. Ray Chapman, playing in the entire 154 scheduled games, stole but 37 to lead the league. ' The fine hitting and base run ning could not carry on with a ' bad arm. In 1922 came the big chance, and his greatest successes ' in baseball. He was chosen to man . age Oakland in the Pacific Coast WAYNE SCOTT. Sports Editor OreTech Owls Sweep Series With Eastern Oregon Quint League. Here his team was always in contention, won tne pennant once during hs eight years there, and he set new records for de veloping young players. The sale of Lynn Larry and Jimmy Reese to the New York Yankees, while not a top sale, stands high when $135,000 was paid for the young sters. Monte Pearson, Pete Daglia, Howard Craighead, Ernie Lombar- di, Jimmy Caveney and Buzz Arlett are but a few that were sent up the ladder. Seven players from the 1927 team went to the big leagues Howard stales that his greatest thrill in a ball game came while with the St. Louis Browns. He bat ted in the only run of a game with the Washington Senators, with Walter Johnson pitching. It en abled George Sislcr, pitcher-first baseman, to b e c o m e a winner against the "Big Train," an ambi tion he always cherished, but achieved but once, The worst play he ever made, he states, was while with Cleve land. Cleveland was leading in the last of the ninth, 1-0 over the home team, Detroit. Two were out, Stan ley Coveleski pitching great ball for the Indians. An easy one-hop ground ball to lvon at third base was a natural out. But by some quirk, the throw to first base went into the stands. Two runs scored and Cleveland lost. He considers Walter Johnson, Earl Hamilton, Eddie Plank and Dutch Leonard the best pitchers he ever faced, but said on certain days they were all tough. Today he enjoys living the life of Riley, while watching mountain quail come into his, yard daily; and deer feed in his meadow, His only daughter lives nearby. Her two children visit their grandpar ents; the grandson appears headed for the big leagues, coached by the old veteran. But best of all, he married his boyhood sweetheart, and they cele brated their Golden Wedding anni versary a few weeks ago. Oregon Tech's Owl basketball team finally hit its stride Satur day night and crushed the East ern Oregon College Mountaineers 90-65 in the second game of a two day stand at Oregon Tech. Friday night the Owls picked up their first victory of the 1960 Oregon Collegiate Conference ac tion by squeaking past the Moun ties 64-63 after blowing a 15 point halftime lead. The Tech quint now owns a 2-2 conference mark and stands 3-8 for the overall season. In other conference action Sat urday night the Oregon College of Education five was defeated by Southern Oregon College 72-58. The win tied SOC with the Owls for the number two spot behind idle Portland State. EOC is 1-3 in league action and 3-11 for the full season to date. The Owls, whose coach, Wally Palmberg, had inaugurated a two- platoon system Friday night in an attempt to get his offense rolling, were down 22-15 with 7:30 left in the first half but an intercepted pass by Charlie Wilson launched a drive that boosted the Techsters to a 40-29 halftime lead, In the last four minutes of the period, after they had' tied the count 26 all, Gene Branson, Paul Layher, Dennis McKee and Jack Horton poured on the coal and started the. runaway. Branson, with 22 points that in cluded a variety of shots, was the game high pointer. McKee was the number two producer with 18. EOC's Mel Holmes hit 16 to land the number three spot and team mate Ron Hunt was next with 14. The Owl starting five, the "run and shooters" included Norm Oliva who hit 10 points, Troy Koontz, Paul Layher, also with 10 points, McKee and freshman Van Zitek. The second platoon included Hor lon, Branson, Jim Ramseyer, Buddy Guill and Charlie Wilson Roy Johnson alternated with, the outside men on the second platoon.

OCE now is 1-1 and SOC 2-2 in confer ence play. Southern Oregon, avenging a 74- 65 loss to OCE the night before, moved out of a nip-and-tuck con test for a 31-28 halftime lead. In the first five minutes of the -sec ond half SOC stepped up the - ad- vantage to 41-30. Gordy Carrigan led the winners with 18 points.

Flu Bug Hits East, Van Brocklin Down LOS ANGELES (AP) Norm Van Brocklin, who was to quar terback the East in Sunday's pro bowl game, is down with the flu. His physician Saturday pro nounced him a doubtful starter. Bobby Layne of the Pittsburgh Steclers was named to replace the old pro from the Philadelphia Ea gles if he can't make the game. Also hit by the flu was another East starter offensive guard Jim Rav Smith. It's doubtful he'll play, either. Ernie Stautner, normally a de tensive regular with the Steelers, was named to replace Smith. The two key illnesses are ex registered 18-29 tries at the foul line. EOC hit only 21 field goals and a miserly 23 for 43 from the char ity mark. Branson hooked, tipped and drove for seven field goals and hit a blistering 8-9 from the foul line in racking up his 22. He also lead the Owl rebounding. McKee, whose deceptive moves beneath the bucket and snapshoot ing from outside collected eight field goals, hit 2 for 3 at the foul line. Holmes hit seven field goals and 2 for 3 at the gift mark. Pasco Arritola, the Mount's leading scor er before the trip to Klamath Falls, was held to 10 points and took a back seat to the Owl's Layher on the boards. Friday night the Owls' two pla toon system began to pay off af ter the first ten minutes of play. During the opening stages of the first half the Owls and the Mounts battled on almost even terms. Af ter alternating leads for six min utes, Palmberg replaced his "run and shoot" five with a complete new crew composed of Branson, Guill, Ramseyer, Horton and Johnson who took over as the board showed 14-12 for EOC. The slowdown" squad ran the count to 24-20 with 8:40 left in the half and the first five came back. From here on the Techmen pulled away to an easy 39-25 lead by the end of the half. The first platoon, Oliva, Zitek,1 Layher, McKee and Koontz, opened the second period but the dis tance narrowed to 42-33 with four minutes. Again the squads were switched but the Mounts seemed to get stronger. Arritola, Chase and D a r r e 1 1 Jones collaborated on a barrage of two-pointers to close the gap while the Owls seemed to run out of gas. r " '"'' - - '" In the closing five minutes of the game the Tech lead was never more than four points." With 59 seconds remaining in - the game and the score 64-61, an Owl weave blew up when McKee cast off from near the corner and missed. The ball was rebounded by the Mounts I and with two quick passes brought the count to 64-63 as Chuck Barn hart hit an easy layup. On an inbounds play after an EOC time out McKee intercepted a pass and drove for the bucket but again missed. Time ran out before the Mountaineers got an other shot. McKee with 14 points was high for the Owls, just two short of Arritola's game high of 16. Bran son hit for 13 and Oliva for 10. Chase counted 13 for EOC. Techmen Jack Horton and Paul Layher, both of whom had a good night on the backboards collected 10 and 20 rebounds respectively to account for the majority of the Owls' total of 55. The Owls scored at a 1.316 clip from the floor while the EOC quint hit an even .400. At the foul line, however, the Owls racked up a .667 as compared to EOC's .281. roc m) Olinger Barnhart Chase Arritola Jones Hunt Holmes Dunlap Ttttali OTI C00) Oliva Koontz Layher Horton Guill Branson Johnson Ramseyer C.

The defeat marked the second in Southern Oregon Conference ac tion for the Klamath Falls quint, both of them at the hands of the Medford club. The win was Med ford's fifth straight league con quest. Junior guard Freddie Bichn whipped in the first two points for the Pelicans giving them a 2-2 tic with the Medfordites, the last time it was to happen during the ball game. ' By the time the game was five minutes old the Tornado had racked up a 10-3 lead and they went on to a 16-5 margin by the close of the first stanza. At half time they led 39-21, and faded a bit in the third to a 46-34 bulge at the end of the third frame. Anderson, the game high-scorer with 19 points, blazed along the base line for 15 of his total in the big first half. Bichn hit five field goals and 3-5 at the foul line to lead the KU scorers with 13. Dean Dun son, with 12. Bruce Brickner with II, and Paul Bishop with 10 were next for the Pelicans. Lowell Dean, who broke the scoring ice for Medford was next to Anderson with 14.
