f P9b mst i - Explosive PSC '5' Favored The explosive Portland State College Vikings hit town this afternoon keyed to successfully open Oregon Collegiate Confer ence basketball season with a pair of wins over the underdog Oregon Tech Owls with whom they tangle tonight at 8 o'clock on the Mile High court. The two clubs will wind up the opening scries Saturday night at the same time. Both games will be preceded by preliminar ies pairing the "Doberman All Stars" and the Chiloquin Thun derbirds. The prelims are slated to start at 6:30. Coach Sharkey Nelson's Vik ings, although they have shown a "hot-cold" tendency in early season games, are rated the favorites over the Owls primar ily because in their "hot" games they have conquered three strong oulside-of-conference clubs. Their last time out they regis tered a convincing 65-62 triumph; over Lewis and Clark of the Northwest conference, the team that measured the Owls in the opener of the Portland NAIA tournament. The other three vic tories credited the invaders came at the expense of Linfield and Pacific College, both of the KWC, and Central Washington. They also have four losses charged them, including defeats by L it C, the University of! Portland, Southern Oregon and Central Washington, i Another factor working against coach Wally Palmberg's squad is the absence of big Gene Branson, his 6-4 regular forward. Branson will be out two weeks with a badly -wrenched knee. The Etna strong-boy had been rapidly im proving in his board-work, and his potent hook-shot figures to be missed. The Portlanders will call upon Bon Powell, a 5-9 guard, Eldon Lahti, 6-0, a guard, center Bill Turner, promising 6-5 sophomore, high scorer Don Bridges, 6-2 sen ior, and Frank Chase, .a 6-2 vet eran forward. Turner, the apple of the Vik ings' eye, has hit on 18 of his last 32 shots and continues to im prove daily. What figures to be an interesting duel will be the contest between Turner and Sammy "Cool Cat" Smith, the flashy, crowd-pleasing Oregon Tech center. Not to be discounted either is the rebounding ability of big Bob Petersen, the ex-KU star, who has more than proved his worth to the Techmen. Teaming with Petersen at a forward post is Bob Cumiford, 6-2, who shows signs of becom ing an able replacement for the ailing Branson. The Owl backcourt chores will he filled by little Leon Wilson and Hewlett Nash, each of whom boasts a strong scoring potential.

Minnesota Educator Raps Gopher Board Of Regents MINNEAPOLIS (AP)-A Min- nesota faculty man of national reputation renewed his opposition to the school's involvement with the Rose Bowl today and verbally spanked some of the school's regents.

All four times when the Braves settled for second place in the conference, they took their disap poinlment to the National Invita tion Tournament in New York. Twice, including last year, they nailed the NIT crown, crcaling the ironical situation of a team unable lo gather a league trophy but able to win a national title.

Spilhaus has campaigned for years for a toughening up of the American education system. He was widely quoted three years ago when he rapped a trend toward "typing, tap dancing and tomfool ery" in the nation's classrooms. Minnesota, Spilhaus said, had no action. In the only other league game on lap Phoenix travels to Illinois Valley tonight. The two have split in earlier meetings. Guard Ray Brown, a 5-9 speed ster, leads the Henley point-producers into action with a total of 64 over six games. Forward Bert Allbritlon, 6-0, is next with 59, followed by Floyd Kendall, a guard, who has collected 46.

Coach Dean White, admittedly "cocky" for the first lime in his life about a league encounter, warns, however, that the platoon is a one-nighl-only operation. Saturday night when the Peli cans appear on their home court to face the ever threatening Grants Pass Cavemen, they will automatically revert to their usual style of play. Three Pelican squads, the var sity, jayvees and sophomores, ara scheduled for action in Ashland tonight. Saturday on Pelican Court, be ginning at 1 p.m., the GP frosh and the KU freshmen will open, followed by a battle be tween the sophs of both schools. At 6:30 p.m. the jayvees will mix in a preliminary to the varsity feature attraction. Tickets to the Saturday festivi ties are now on sale at the Klam ath County Chamber of Com merce. The Whitebirds. slill relatively uncontested in their claim to tht top-ianking on the state prep polls, have little reason to be less than cocky in their gama with the under-powered Ashland ers. v Coach Earl lba's Grizzly quin tet has been on the short end of a number of ridiculous defeats. Their last time out they bowed 75-19 to the Medford Black Tor nado. Their slow, deliberate ball control style has failed to produce any points to speak of while their defenses have been nearly nonexistent. White's plan is to get as many of his ballplayers into the game as possible though he will start Wally Palmberg, Bruce Brickner, Gary Patzke, Freddie Biehn, and Ray Taylor, all of whom are ranked among the top scorers of the conference. But, when the Cavemen hit town I Coach Gordon Prehm's Cavers have a definite advantage in height over the Pelicans. He can start a forward wall that stands 6-4, three deep; and a backcourt twosome standing 6-2 and 5-11. Rebounding hasn't been a partic ular Grants Pass problem. Injuries, however, have been. Two of his star guards have been on the injured list, and only one. Al Staley, is back. Staley, who suffered a bone-chip in his ankle recently, has just come out of his cast and his length of service Saturday night is questionable. The second missing expert is Jim Mclntire, a veteran. Mcln tire ripped , the ligaments in his knee in football, and is under going an operation that will keep him out the balance of the season. Prehm probably will call upon Clyde Murray, 6-4; Larry Jans- sen, 6-2; .Jim Davis, 6-4; Davo Hauntz, 6-4, and Staley for start ing roles.
