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.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP)-A Min-

To Face
Platoons
A "platoon" system will be put
into practice on the Ashland high
court tonight by the Klamath Un
ion Pelican varsity basketball
team when they lace the Grizzlies
in a Southern Oregon Conference
game.
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

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

knee in football, and is under

him out the balance of the season.
Prehm probably will call upon

sen, 6-2; .Jim Davis, 6-4; Davo
Hauntz, 6-4, and Staley for start
ing roles.
