TOURNAMENT ALL-STARS At the conclusion of the an nual Klamath County B Basketball Tournament on the Ore gon Tech court Saturday evening, I I players were selected by the participating coaches to the Tournament All-Star team. Normally only 10 would be selected but a tie in the balloting increased the number this year. From left to right Antler Top Shooter 'B' All-Stars Top Performers By JERRY REMMERS Herald and News Sports Writer Prep school tournaments have a way of bringing out the best in ath letes, just as the World Series in baseball and the Rose Bowl in college football. Bonanza's Butch Crume's performance in last week end's county B tourney was cer tainly no exception. Crume, who was chosen as an All-Star, topped all individual performers in scor ing with a 20.7 average. The. other chosen All-Stars Ran dy Miller, Rick lllian and Jim Long of Malin; John Ochoa and Ron Hoggarth of Chiloquin; Dean Haskins of Merrill; Chet Schooler of Bonanza; Bob Andersch of Sa cred Heart and , Charlie Russell and Gerald Warren of Gilchrist also turned in. sparkling individual performance!.' Being the top scorer in the tour ney, is no novel achievement for Crume. The Antler junior also led the league in scoring with a 14.7 average during the season. Closely following Crume in- the scoring department was teammate Chester Schooler who pummcled the hoop at a 17.0 clip. Schooler closed out the regular season with a 14.0 average and was an ag gressive rebounder. Although Merrill came through with a tremendous team effort in the tourney, forward Dean Has kins' accurate jump shots netted him a neat 14.0 median for three games. Haskins' performance out did his year's play when he aver aged 8.3 points per game. Team mate Dennis Salvadori also rose to the occasion when he hit 19 points in the initial clash with SHA to earn himself a 11.3 clip for the tourney. Credit to Merrill's tremendous showing, though, re sults in the astute strategy out lined by coach Al Fairchild who designed the Huskies' deliberate ball control tactics which nearly ousted Malin in the semifinals.

' The other two All-Stars who hit more than 10 points per game were the Mustangs' Randy Miller and Jim Long. Miller's 10.7 show ing was slightly below his year's average of 14.3, but it is a qualified average. , Miller, along with the rest of the Mustang starting five, was only needed for 10 minutes of action in Thursday's clash with Paisley.

The Raiders, remembering well a similar situation last season, are now in a position to blast their favorite enemy, the Owls, into Ore gon Collegiate conference oblivion, second place in the standings. With no exaggeration, the Tues day meeting of the Owls and the Raiders on the SOC floor is un doubtedly the biggest game of the season for both. And the burden 'Too Tired' Says Volenti CORVALLIS (AP) - Coach Paul Valenti's young basketball team dropped another pair, over the weekend, but acting coach Paul .Valenti isn't altogether dis pleased with the showing. The Beavers held a talent - packed Southern California team to a 68-62 margin Friday, then played raggedly as they lost to Washington, 62-52 the next night. Valenti, reviewing the games, said his players,' against Wash ington, were tired from a peak performance the previous night.

In their previous meetings, the Raiders won the game played on their home court then lost two to the Owls at Oregon Tech. In order to keep themselves on the top of the OCC heap the Mile High cag ers must now conquer the Ash- landers on foreign soil, a rigorous assignment. Last year, while silting on the bottom rung of the ladder, the Owls smacked the Raiders out of a championship with a startling defeat in their last meeting of the season. Tuesday night the Raiders could even the score. . ' Coach Wally Palmbcrg and his Owl squad convened Sunday night on the OTI maplewood after tak ing a three-day breather during the County B Tournament. They wrapped up their preparations for the Ashland jaunt tomorrow with a brief but snappy workout this afternoon. Both Owl practices were "closed door" sessions. -' Although Palmberg wouldn't di vulge his plans for the Raiders, his team drilled on a "secret wea pon" which, it is hoped, will give them a clear cut first place posi tion In time to host the Oregon College Wolves in a two-game OCC finale here this weekend. All members of the OTI club were on hand for the practice ses sions but two of them were in doubtful condition. Paul Layher, on whom a great responsibility in rebouding lies, is hampered by a badly cut arm sustained in a fall, while Charlie Wilson, one of the "shock troop" is struggling with the flu. Said Palmberg, "I think both will be able to play but it won't be easy for them. The enthusiasm shown by the entire team is great. They want this one, badly. I plan on starting Layher, Troy Koontz, Gene Branson, Leon Wilson and Dennis McKee but every man on the squad is going to get a lot of work." Palmbcrg had a comment on the ribbing he has taken concerning "backing Into the lead."
