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.

A threatened fiasco has turned

The NIT, opening in New York

The Middle Atlantic shows La

of proof this time rests on the

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." "Y o u

along the line we won enough ball
