The Wolves are by far and away the shortest team in the loop this year, tallest man is Jim Bennett at 6-2, but that didn't keep them from scaring the tunics off the Portland State Vik- ings with a determined press Tues day night. The Viks eventually won but it wasn't easy. And if they could snap the Tech win string they would ruin some high Owl hopes for catching up on the leaders this weekend. With Southern Oregon College idle and the top two, PSC and Eastern Oregon scrapping among themselves at La Grande, a pair of wins over the Wolves would brighten the Owl position con siderably. Coach Bob McCullough's squad Is led by high scorer Steve Ran kin, although he has only a 9.1 per game mark. The remainder of the first five is composed of Toby Wolf. 5-11, Dennis Spencer, 6-1, Don Habel, 6-0, and Lee Land, 5-10. Bennett is also figured to see a good bit of action. The Wolves have averaged 54 points per game in spite of their small stature, but their opponents have collected an average of 63.6 per test. Wally Palmberg's Owl squad seems to be jelling, having found the way to "come back" in the crucial moments, The Tech starters for both the weekend games are Bob Petersen, Sammy Smith, Bob Cumiford, Norm Johns and Larry Hodgen. Leon Wilson, the club's high scor er, and Hewlett Nash, the number four point producer, will each un doubtedly see work also. Peter sen, the number two scorer followed by Smith, is also the lop rebounder. The Saturday afternoon game, a first in the history of Oregon 'Tech basketball, was arranged by Palmberg in order that the game would not conflict with the Klam ath Union-Medford game set Sat urday night at Pelican Court.

First place in the OCC will be at stake when the front-running Vikings tackle the second place Mounties. Portland Stale is pac ing the league with a 5-1 rec ord, while Coach Bob Quinn's Mounties have earned their sec ond place standing with a 4 2 mark. The two weekend rivals are currently the hottest small col lege teams in the state. PSC has won eight of its last 10 games, including the last four in a row, and Eastern Oregon is unbeaten in its Inst six outings. The Viks' nationally-ranked de fense will receive its severest tesi of the league season against the offensive - minded Mounties. Vik Coach Sharkey Nelson considers Eastern Oregon to be the best of fensive team in the conference and figures his dub will have its hands full against the well-bal anced Momitie attack, which fea- tures Tom Keel, Larry Apple gate, and Pasco Arritola.

The obvious gag, of course, Is that the Vikings wouldn't have to be much better to surpass the Cowboys' record of 11 defeats and one tie. However, considering the first 30 experienced players the Vl-I kings selected Thursday from 10 other National Football League teams to complement their 20 col lege draftees and quarterback George Shaw, football men at tending the league meetings this week feel Minnesota should win a few games next season.

The Pelicans left Klamath Falls this afternoon at 1:30 and plan to eat fast immediately following to night's Cavemen match, then head back across the hill for a good night's rest before tangling with the Tornado. What the Grants Pass plans for tonight are remain a secret, but White is hoping they will utilize the four-man zone that they tried against Medford, unsuccessfully, last weekend.
