HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls. Ore. Tuesday, February 23, 1060 PAGE NINE Owls, Red Raiders Tangle Tonight KUHS Pelicans Slip To Fifth Place Techmen Reaching For Title The Oregon Tech Owl basket ball team plays the most impor tant game in its 1960 season to night in Ashland when it tangles with the Southern Oregon College Red Raiders in the fourth and fi nal meeting of the year ot the two perennial enemies. The Owls' hope for an Oregon Collegiate Conference Champion ship hangs in the balance. The contest is the last game of the season for the Raiders, and a vic tory for them tonight could assure the SOC five a cinch on at least a tie for the title, and, depend ing on how the Techmen fair against Oregon College here this weekend, perhaps a clear cut championship. The game will be broadcast directly from the SOC gym bv Klamath Falls Radio Station KFLW beginning at 8 o'clock this evening. The broadcast is being sponsored by the Owl Hoots, the Oregon Tech booster association, None of the prev ious Owl games have been broadcast this season. In their three previous meetings the Owls have won two, both on their home court, while the Red Raiders grabbed off the other on their own maplewood. In seasons past the fierce rivalry between the two schools and the enthusiasm and spirit engendered, have almost guaranteed home victories for the teams. Tonight the Owls must break this trend if they wish to collect their second OCC cham pionship, of the season. The Tech men were unbeaten during the OCC 1959 football season. The Ashlanders are in a spot where they could get even with the Owls for the unceremonious defeat dealt thero last season; one which shattered SOC's title hopes and pushed Portland State in through the back door. . They got into their enviable po sition last weekend by whacking the league-leading Portland quint twice on the Vikings' home grounds. The two wins, however, did boost the Tech squad back into the top seat despite the fact they were idle over the weekend. In conference activity to date the Owls have scored from the field at a .382 clip behind the lead of guard Dennis McKee who has averaged 13.5 points per game. At the foul line the OTI five have 240 in 358 shots for a .670. Mc Kee also leads the club in this department. Offensively the Techmen have counted 63.1 points par game while allowing their collective foe 62.9. The Owls have won eight and lost five while the Ashlanders have won nine and lost six. The Owls complete their 1960 schedule Saturday night on the Mile High Campus when they wind up the second of a two game se ries with the Oregon College Wolves. Should they get past the .Raiders tonight the Owl squad fig ures, at least statistically, to dis patch the Wolves with little trou ble. Probable starters tonight are, in addition to McKee, Leon Wilson, who is averaging 5.5 points per test; Troy Koontz, 8.2 per game; Paul Layher, also 8.2; and Gene Branson, another who has aver aged 8.2 per contest. Standing by are Jack Horton, second to McKee with 9.7, Norm Oliva, Buddy Guill, Charlie Wil son, Roy Johnson, Jim Ramseyer, and Van Zitek. Coach Wally Palmbcrg, who noted that the club had a "secret weapon" in mind for SOC, stated that each member of the club would get into the action. K Sports Car Reno Directed The Sports and Imports Car Club of Klamath Falls recently re ceived an invitation to participate in the International Olympic Pa rade to be held in Reno Satur day, February 27, at 7:30 p.m. The parade will consist of the athletes from Squaw Valley, floats, marching units and other organi zations. The following day the Nevada Sports and Touring Association will present a Gymkhana at the Wells Avenue Fairgrounds. Cars will participate from Reno, Susan- ville. Redding and Klamath Falls.

PIET WAYNE SCOTT, Sports Editor Oscar Ties Baylor, Bearcats Near Cinch By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Oscar Robertson has another line in major college basketball's record book today and his top ranked Cincinnati Bearcats are virtually assured of their third crack at the NCAA championship. -The fabulous Big O, winding up what for him was a mediocre two game tour of Texas, managed six field goals Monday night in Cin cinnati's 85-54 rout of North Texas State to tie Elgin Baylor's all-time career record of 956 field goals. But while Oscar was held to only 16 points, Houston shoved the Bearcats toward another Mis souri Valley Conference cham pionship and another NCAA tour nament by snapping Bradley's 15 game winning streak, 63-58. Georgia Tech and Notre Dame officially joined the NCAA tourna ment family t the Irish (15-7) as an at-large selection for the first round at Lexington, Ky., March 8, and Tech by clinching the South eastern Conference spot with a 69 55 overtime victory over Florida. Auburn stayed even with Tech at 11-2 in the SEC with one game Minneapolis Laker Prexy To Ask OK For Move To LA LOS ANGELES (AP)-The Min neapolis Lakes have played three of their National Basketball Assn. games in Los Angeles and Presi dent Bob Short is convinced his team should make its home here next season. The Lakers bowed to the St. Louis Hawks Monday night, 113 103, before 5,324. They attracted over 10.000 when they played the Philadelphia Warriors in a single game last month and their two game series with the Hawks pulled more than 12,000. St. Louis' victory last night was its 8th in 11 starts against the Lakers, whose coach, Jim Pollard, was ejected for protesting a per sonal foul call. Of the turnout, Short said: "The response of Los Angeles has been overwhelming. I am going to ask the NBA for permission to move our team to Los Angeles next sea- Chos. J.

Runner - up Kentucky, 10-3 after whipping Ala bama 75-55, still could tie Tech but Tech would still get the berth in that event since it beat Ken tucky twice during the regular season. In other top games, New Mexico State grabbed the Border Confer ence lead from West Texas by a half-game with a 92-59 thrashing of the erstwhile pace-setters; In diana rolled to its ninth straight victory 92-78 over Illinois to keep its mathematical chance behind unbeaten -Ohio State in the Big Ten race; and Missouri whipped Colorado 82-73 and knocked the Buffs out of a three-way tie for the Big Eight lead with idle Kan sas and Kansas State.

People Read SPOT ADS you are Lopsided Conquest Hurts KF By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Medford today was atop the Associated Press prep basketball poll by a single point. In the next-to-the-last poll of the season, Medford received 171 points just one more than Marsh field, the runnerup for the second straight week. Marshfield, though, still has the best A-l record of any team in the state: 18 victories in 19 games. Medford added to its lustre with a lopsided weekend victory over Klamath Falls that left it with a 16-3 record for the season. Klamath Falls had been third in last week's poll but dropped into fifth place after losing to Medford for its fourth defeat of the season. Although the Pelicans get Fri day night off, there are no plans for a rest from the practice court. Saturday night the KF. quint hosts the Central Point Crater Comets, the only club in the Southern Ore gon Conference with a mathemati cal chance to knock them out of a trip to Eugene for the tourney in March. The Pels raced through a long, hard drill Monday and plan to continue the pace for the balance of the week. Against Medford, the Whitebirds were in good shape until they ran out of gas in the third stanza and became unable to stop the red hot Tornado five. The Medford club had been idle Friday night while the KU squad had traveled to Grants Pass for a rough match with the Cavemen. Into third place, with 118 points, went Cleveland of Portland, fourth last week. There also was consid erable juggling among the other teams in the poll, Last week, Hermiston and Rose- burg had been knotted for fifth place. Hermiston rose into fourth while Roseburg dropped into No. 6. La Grande remained in seventh but had to share it with South Eugene, which a week ago had been the No. 9 team in the state, South Salem rose one notch from the No. 10 position it held last week with North Bend Springfield dropped from eighth to tenth, while North Bend fell out of the Top 10. Among the teams in the Top 10, Medford, Marshfield, Hermiston and La Grande all have clinched berths in the A-l tourney that starts March 15 at Eugene. The poll: Points 1. Medford (16-3) 171 2.

Penny Pitou, of GiU oid, N.H., who was second in the downhill, and Betsy Snite, of Nor wich, Vt matched their skill and daring against Europe's best in the giant slalom on Papoose Peak. There was virtually no hope at all for Uncle Sam in the remain der of the program. He didn't have a ghost of a chance in the 3,000 meter women's speed skating, an event right up the Soviet Union's alley, or in the men's 15-kilometer (9.6 miles) cross-country ski race. Sixten Jernberg, Sweden's "king of the skis" and winner of the 30 kilomctcr gold medal, aimed to become the first double gold med al winner of the games by taking this race. Monday was another black day for the Yanks.

The best the Americans could do in individual competition was eighth place in the women's 1,000 meter speed skating. Jeanne Ash worth of Wilmington, Mass., set a national record of 1:36.5 in the event, won by the Soviet's Klara Guseva in 1:34.1.
