Malin Breaks Chiloquin String; Tourney Titlist Anybody's Guess Hopes of completing Ihe County B League regular basketball sea son undefeated were smashed at Chiloquin Tuuesday night as the rapidly improving Malin Mus tangs got "up" and belted the Panthers 41-40 in the 1961 loop finale. Not only did the llalin victory ruin the Panthers' chance to run their win string to 13 straight league victories without a defeat, it also proved that the coming B tournament title could end up at any one of (our schools, and possibly five. Last Friday night Chiloquin won a narrow 57-54 victory over Bonanza and Malin edged Mer rill 50-48. In turn, Merrill came back last night to count a "eome-from-behind" 42-35 win over the Sacred Heart Trojans on the Academy floor while Bonanza was happily whacking the Bly Bob cats 89-54 on the Antler homel court. Although the Panthers won the County B League championship trophy with little or no strain, there is nothing now to indicate they'll continue this trend in the tourney action which starts Thurs day, Feb. 23, and runs through Saturday the 15th on the Oregon Tech maple. This is not an unusual situation, however. Over the years there have been many instances when the league race winner and the tournament winner were not the same team. The club that wins the eight leam hassle at OTI, however, gets to continue in the district play offs, and possibly on into the state quarter-finals. The losers can turn their attentions to the spring sports slate. Tuesday's results also served to form the pairings for entry in the tourney, with one exception, which must be decided in a day or so, probably by the toss of a coin. Paisley, the lone out-of-league entrant in the tourney, automat ically draws a fifth-place rank ing. Therefore, Sacred Heart and Bonanza, who ended up in a tie for fourth, must toss a coin to see who becomes number four and who becomes number six. Plane Crash Kills Three Top Skaters NEW YORK (AP)-The famed Vinson-Owcn mother-daughter fig ure skating family was killed to day in a plane crash at Brussels, Belgium. Killed were Laurence Owen, 16, of Winchester, Mass., who only last Sunday won the women's sin gles title in the North American competition at Philadelphia: her sister, Maribel. 20, and their mother, Maribel Vinson Owen, who was their coach and a nine time former U.S. champion. Laurence only a few weeks pre viously had won the U.S. national title at Colorado Springs, Colo., where Maribel and her partner, Dudley Richards, 28, of Boston, had taken the national seniors pairs title. Mrs. Owen or Maribel as she was known around ice rinks was third to Sonja Henie in the wom en's figure skating division of the 19.12 Olympics. Arch To Sign For Title Go SAN DIEGO Calif. UPIi Archie Moore, under fire from Ihe New York Slate Athletic Com mission, expects to sign today for a light heavyweight title defense against Cmlio Rinaldi ot Italy at New York, June 10. In New York, Harry Markson director o! boxing at Madison Square Garden confirmed that 46-year-old Moore had agreed "in principle" to the Rinaldi fight, which would be televised nation ally. However, Rinaldi who out pointed Moore in a non-title bout al Rome on Oct. 29 is nut ex pected to sign until next week, according to Markson. The New York commission mes saged .Moore Tuesday at his San Diego home that he musl arrange a title defense "forthwith" or risk having his title vacated becaux. he hadn't defended since Aug. 12, 1959 18 months ago.

BOB GRAHAM . . . "we're up" In the ensuing scramble Chilo quin's Al DeBortoli watched his jumper rim the bucket and fall off, to be recovered by Malin. After a time out with 16 seconds left, the Mustangs stalled the ball out front causing Norm Jackson to commit a foul, and even though the Mustang attempt was missed, the damage was done. During Ihe game, a nip-and-tuck struggle ail the way, the lead swapped ownership 18 times and the score was tied eight times. The largest lead either club could reach was a five-point 31-26 spread owned by the Mustangs in the third frame, but that d i s solved quickly when the game high - pointer.

KU Cagers To Face Supreme SOC Test Eleven straight Southern Ore gon Conference wins, including a pair over the Medford Black Tor nado, have made the Klamath Union Pelicans the number one target in prep basketball circles around the state. Friday night at Medford tliey tangle with the Tornado for the third time, in a contest that might easily be termed the toughest one they'll face all the regular season. Despite the fact they've done without the services of big Bruce Brickner for the past three league games and gone without guard Wally Palmberg for the last two. the Pels still hold the third, fourth and fifth positions in the loop scoring race. There is no immediate threat that they will be knocked out of these three spots this weekend, but two of Ihe three players in-i volvcd are destined to stand still in the totals. The KU lineup will not yet in clude Palmberg and Brickner, al though both were on hand to pose for a team picture Tuesday af-i ternoon. Palmberg, who underwent an appendectomy a week ago Sun day, suited up Tuesday afternoon but limited his workout to a few "non-stretch" baskets. Brickner, who is recuperating from an attack of the mumps, climbed back into his street SJS, Broncs Play Weirdy By United Press International What happens when the two best defensive teams in the nation tangle on a basketball court? An iswer nobody scores many points. And so it was that Santa Clara edged San Jose State Tuesday night in a weird 30-29 thriller that was not decided until Gene Shields hit a long hook shot at the buz zer for the Broncs. The game cracked West Coast Athletic Conference marks for lowest total score, lowest winning score, and lowest field goal total for one team 'Santa Clara 9 1 Ron McGec had 8 points for the Broncs. o. Ci a more important game visa-vis the standings. St. Mary's Tom Mcschery led the Gaels to a 72-64 win over UOP. The Tigers kept the score down to 52-51 late in Ihe contest when Mcschery cut loose with five straight field goals. Mcschery tallied 30 poinls and L'OP's high-scoring Ken Stanley scored 22. At the quarter rest the Chilo-1 quinitcs were down 14-13 but came back to lead 24-23 at the half am! 35-34 at the close of the third. Heglund rebounded a jumper with 2:24 left to give the Pan thers their final lead at 40-39. Forward Nick Johnson was high lor the winners with 12 followed by Larry Hick with 10.

The Panthers had a tough time finding the range from the field, hitting only 18 of 70 tries, while the Malin five connected on 14 of 45 shots. Chiloquin never reached a one and one foul situation and connected on but four of seven al lotted tries from the charity stripe. Malin hit 11 of 24 from the foul line.

Merrill 42, Sacred Heart 35 The Trojans recuperated from an eight-pi'int first quarter fol lowed by a four-point second stan za to catch up with the visiting Huskies in the fourth quarter but they just couldn't keep up and clothes immediately after the picture-taking session and headed for home. Pelican coach Dean White is making no promises as to the ex act date of return for either of his two stars. Meanwhile he and the remainder of his squad are drilling hard for (he big one at Medford Friday. The varsity Pelicans play just the one game this weekend as does the junior varsity squad but t h e Klamath Union Wildcats, coach Bill Mansfield's group, are slat ed for two bouts. Both the Sophs and junior var sity will accompany the Pelicans to Medford Friday night and ap pear in prelims. Saturday night (he Wildcats hit the road again, this lime headed for Lakeview where they will hook up with the A-2 Honkers in a non-league tussle. Probable Pelican starters at Medford are Ray Taylor, Gary Patzkc and Wayne Dennis up front, with Freddie Biehn and Sherm Allen designated the guard chores.
