HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Ore 66 1: ;:r r" ft. I kli COUNTY B CAGE GOALS Carrol B. Howe, right, county superintendent of schools, and assistant Howard Bingham, left, take a moment out in their preparations for the County B Basketball Tourney set for the OTI gym Thursday, Friday and Saturday, February 18, 19 and 20, to pose with the trophies that go on the block. The large trophy held by Bingham goes to the winner of the tourna ment. The game ball will be presented to the winner of third place. On the table, at left, is the Sportsmanship Trophy (the superintendent's cup); in the center is the tourney second place award and the trophy at right is the league championship trophy, already claimed by the Malin Mustangs. Sponsors of the trophies include Oregon Ath letic Equipment Co., Bill Hatch Sporting Goods, The Gun Store and the Herald and News. Basketball will come to a feverish, frantic climax for a number of B cage squads this next weekend when the an nual County B League (District 5-B) Tournament begins Thursday on the Oregon Tech maplewood and continues through Friday and Saturday. One of (he entrants, however, won't quit when the local tournry Is over. The tourney winner, regardless of its season record, will settle down to even more feverish and frantic preparations for the next step toward a state B championship, the district playoffs. And II incy win mat . , . things gel worse. , IMalin's Mustangs must be ac corded the favorite's role in the local tourney this year ... but how you go into the three.day stint doesn't mean much . . . it's how you come out that counts. Ask any coach who has ever en tcred the classic. KUHS' Bill Mansfield will pull the wraps off the available Peli can baseball talent this week and OTI's Jim Cordial is going into the second week of working with the Owl diamond potential. The Pel pitchers and catchers will start throwing a few wherever they can while the Techmen will continue putting the old swim ming pool building to good use They don't actually use the pool . , . just the area surrounding it. Says Cordial, "It isn't what you call warm in there, but at least , you're not out in the snow." Oft the cuff notes from OTI Owl athletic director Rex Hun- saker has a point. He says, "You'll never convince me that the long pull up the OTI hill in the winter is the thing that keeps Klamath Falls people from attend lng our basketball games. Take last Tuesday night for exanipli We played Southern Oregon, our fiercest rival, in one of the most Important games of the season. And we played at Klamath Union High School . . . right downtown. So . . . there were darn few new faces in the audience, if any. In fact, we have drawn better on the hill. Nope, there has to be a bet ter reason." He added, "Wish we knew what it is . . . few fans and weak sup port hurt." Another item Hunsaker men tioned, "Even in the face of the fact we had a championship foot ball season 'actually two in i row), the sale of season tickets to just the faculty members of Oregon Tech alone outnumbered 135 to 80, the number of those sold over the entire city of Klamath Falls." Leaves room for improvement. With the wrestling program firmly entrenched now at Oregon Tech I can't help but wander if perhaps both basketball and wres tling might do better, fan-wise, if they were incorporated Into the same program. For an example: three of the eight bouts on the Usual Intercollegiate card could he staged prior to the beginning of (he game, two could be hrld dur ing the intermission, and the last JIM CORDIAL . . . baseball boss three could follow the end of the game. The mats are easy to move. Naturally . . . being a true Scot" I would be a firm advocate of no increase in admission prices. This could work at Klamath Un ion just as easily. If you like TV type "rasslin," college and prep wrestling may not hold much appeal for you. Of course, you U never know until you sec the boys wrestling once. But if you like good, honest com petition and skill, ' situations in which the athlete can't "Lei George Do It" and has to depend entirely upon himself, you'll like wrestling. , It makes it much nicer for the boys competing, in any sport, if there are a lot of people in the stands who care whether he wins or loses. And from the fans' standpoint. the added attraction sure gives them their money's worth. I'd welcome letters concerning Klamath area sport fans' thinking along this line. Well , . , now I know , , . last week's letter concerning the pur ported miscasting of boys In bas ketball suits was no jest. . . . Got a letter this week that proves (it contained a buck, good sub stantial proof) the author Is sell ous. This is it: February 9, 1960 The Manager, Circulation Department, Herald and News, Klamath Falls, Oregon.

' " Friday night the Owls were stopped short, 61-60, hy coach Bob Quinn's aggressive Mountie quin tet. "You can quote me the second straight night of inept, stumbling, fumbling and kicking the ball around," was Palmberg's caustic comment following the Saturday night loss. (See Page 3B for Fri day's game). In the series finale at EOC the Owls jumped off lo a 20-1 1 lead within the first ten minutes and appeared lo be well on their way toward redemption for their Fri day night defeat. The trend didn't last. Sparked by Frank Chase, 6-1, who seemed perpetually way over the heads of Ihe much taller Owl defenders, the Mountaineers slow ly closed the gap, and before the half-time buzzer sounded Ihey owned a 34-30 lead. Chase topped all the point-producers with 26, in cluding nine (icld goals, all from close in, and a perfect 8-8 at the foul line.

In the only other Southern Ore gon Conference action Saturday Medford whipped Grants Pass 77- 53. In spite of Ashland coach Earl Iba's "platoon" system of attack and a pressing defense Saturday the Pels had an easy time reach ing a 14-4 margin by the close of Ihe first stanza. By halftime they were out front 37-13 and at the end of the third period they held a 57-29 bulge. KU coach Dean White substitut ed freely throughout the game but in only the fourth period did the Hornet Muscle-Benders Rap Ashlanders For Upset Win The Henley wrestling team picked up a tremendous victory Saturday aflcrnoon when they dealt Ashland a 32-19 defeat on the losers mat. The Hornets stepped out of their A-2 class in order to grapple with the A-l Grizzlies. Coach Ncls Olsen feels confident that his Hornet squad will fare quite well when they enter the Cougars Club Loggers 77-55 The Weed Cougars ran all over McCloud last night and defeated court by a 77-55 margin.

Falcons Clip Vikings 84-55 SEATTLE (AP) - Seattle Pa cific, hilling on 56 per cent of its shots from the field, swamped the visiting Portland Stale Vikings Saturday night 84-55 for its 16th basketball win of the season. It was the final home game for the Falcons who ran up a 41-25 halftime lead. The Falcons took ihe lead at t-7 and never looked back. Grizzly cagers break even in point production with the Whitobirds. The primary reason for this scor ing thrust on the part of the Ash landers was big Bob Hardy, the game high-pointer with 16 mark ers. Hardy, who collected only three points in the first half of the test, found the range and lit erally "kicked" off six field goals from approximately 20 feet out during the second two stanzas. 11c added two for three tries from the charity mark.- Hardy's jump shot seemed to call for an extra both-fect kick as he got the ball away, but it worked. Of the 13 Pelicans who got into the action at one time or another only two failed to score.' Paul Bishop collected 13 during his ten ure and junior Bruce Brickncr was next with 12. Sophomore Gary Patzke contributed 11 to the Pel cause. The Pels, led by Brickncr who pulled down 18, oul-rcboundcd Ihe Grizzlies 60-42, although they col lected just one more than the Ash land total in the second half. Bish op was second with nine while Patzke and captain Bob Lewis each collected eight. Hardy was the tallest Grizzly with seven. From the floor the KU five hit 26 of 56 tries and hit 16 of 29 from the free loss linr. The Ash land club scored only 15 of 65 shots from the field while hitting 10-18 from the foul line. Although the Ashland shooting percentage was anything but spec tacular the Pelican defense was credited with a tremendous effort. In Ihe prelim the KU Jayvccs, led by Kent Hunsakcr's 13 points, bombed the Grizzly cubs 60-24. (Continued on Page 31)) In Ihe second half the Mountics padded Ihcir lead little by little until, with three minutes lo go, they had Ihe Techmen short 10 big points. Here Palmbcrg introduced his "shock troops," Charlie Wilson, Van Zilek, and Jim Ramscver. who promptly shook Ihe EOC five with their demanding press tactics. The" Owls started to nar row the distance but the clock ran out on them, just three points short ot a badly needed win. Although the Tech squad, led by Paul Layhcr with 16 retrieves, out- rebounded the Mounts 50-40, the EOC live seemed to get more value received. Chase was second to Layher with 14. The Owls hit a miserable .284 from Ihe field, 25 for 88 tries At the foul lino they hit 16-26. EOC scored a respectable .369 off 24 successes in 65 tries and 20 for 28 at the foul line. Number two scoring honors went to EOC's Bob Olinger who collected 16. Behind him came Owls Troy Koonlz with 15, and Dennis McKce with 14. OTI's Gene Branson with 10, and Mountie Bob McCaddcn with 14, wore other players to crack Ihe double figures. Palmbcrg noled, "Since our In ability to get back down on de fense suggests a strong lack of conditioning, you may depend on some very rugged workouts to be gin promptly at 3:30 Monday af ternoon." i ' (Continued on Page 3-B) The boxscore: The boxscore: Ashland (10) Jackson Tucker Hardy Hauck Dlckerson Grey Harris Stewart Alley De Boer Forrest Tetils Kt'HK (881 Rrtckner Pat.k Lewis Dunson Bishop Blehn Eastman Blnney Palmneri Lapsley Dennis Hunsaker Taylor Talals Ashland KUHS FO I 3 7 1 0 0 FT 2- 2 2- 2 2- 3 1- 1 0- 0 0- 0 1- 1 0. 1 2- 3 0- S 0- 0 rr tp 1 4 2 3 2 0 15 1-I8 21 40 EOC 188) FO FT Oltngcr 1 5 8- ft Chase 0 B- R Barnhftrt 1 1-2 Hunt 2 1-2 Holmes 1 2-3 McCaddcn 6 2-4 Totals' 24 SO-iS OTI 188) FO FT Horlon 0 3-3 Koontz 7 1-2 Layher S 0-2 McKce .

However Lakeview came back strong in the third stanza and forged ahead at 50-49 with 8 min utes remaining.
