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.

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.

what for him was a mediocre two
game tour of Texas, managed six
field goals Monday night in Cin

But while Oscar was held to
only 16 points, Houston shoved

LOS ANGELES (AP)-The Min

next season.
The Lakers bowed to the St.

over 10.000 when they played the
Philadelphia Warriors in a single

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

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. Marshfield (18-1) 170

The Americans shut out of the
first 11 of the 27 championships-
had another hope in the women's
giant slalom. 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. In the fourth day
of competition, the gold medals
went to France, the U.S.S.R. and
Germany, and the Soviet Union
rolled up its advantage in the un

The Soviets had 86 ',i points,
Germany 48, Sweden 29, the
U.S.A. 16, Switzerland 15, Canada
and Austria 13 each, Finland and
Poland 11 each, Italy 8, Norway
6, Japan 314, France 15.
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.
Jean Viiarnct, a handsome, 27-
year-old Frenchman who was told
to "go for broke" In his last big-
lime fling, captured the downhill
in 2:06.0 for the dangerous, two
mile journey down Ice-topped
Squaw Peak.
Georg Thoma, a stocky, 22-year-
