A-l TOURNEY DOOR OPENS The Klamath Union Pelican varsity basketball team,
despite the fact they were working without the services of two of the top performers
in the Southern Oregon Conference, found they had the key to MacArthur Court

Ron Owings connected for the

Olegon Tech Owl , basketball,
coach Wally Palmberg has a prob
lem. He has a pair of top-flight bas
ketball players, one a 6-3 forward,
and the other a 5-11 guard, both
stickouls and both newly eligible,
and he doesn't know exactly
where to fit them into his pro
gram. Other coaches wish they
had the same sort of woe.
He has another problem, how
ever, one just as, immediate. He
has to figure a way to defeat
the Southern Oregon College Red
Raiders for the fourth time this:
season and thus establish air
all-time first in the history of
Oregon Tech basketball.
The Raider will arrive on the
OTI campus Tuesday night . . .
and he has to be beaten to pre
' serve the Owls hope for a clear
cut Oregon Collegiate Conference
championship. That, plus the fact
the Owls must win two from Ore
gon College next weekend, while I
Ihe Portland State Vikings, he
hoes, are at least splitting with
the Eastern Oregon College Moun
ties. in Portland.
t The Raiders may not be an
easy mark Tuesday in spite of
the fact the Tcchmen have meas
ured them twice on their home
floor and one at OTI. plus
,the light-heartedness evident at
Oregon Tech since the Owl quint
ecms to have come of age.
In the not too distant past there
were indications that the Owls
possessed a "who cares" altitude.:
. Such is not the case today at!
OTI. And practice yesterday and
today while the rooting section
rested, proved the point.
Owl coach Palmberg compounds
the new spirit with the comment,
"I wish we were starting over.
Today we have a club with a tre
mendous will to win."
If the "will to win" holds up.
the Techmen could own an OCC
title by this lime next week.
After Tuesday's match with SOC
the Owls must meet the Wolves
in a two-game weekend series at

Friday night's convincing Pelican victory over Med

Dear Mr. Scott,
Everybody loves a winner,
and every other basketball team
in the county has won enough
times to feel the warm glow
except Bly. So we look for the
crumbs ("we" means the team
AND their fans) in the sports
write-ups.
The best "crumb" to date is
when you said "Malin found
the going a little tougher than
Ijjey expected." Once you said
a team "toyed with the Bob
cats" this rankled! Usually you
"dumped," or "squelched. " All
last year we were called "the
diminutive Bobcats" and you
actually printed a letter from
an unfortunate egomaniac coach
calling his season with us "a
nightmare!"
Our boys haven't chalked up
a winning score yet this season,
but we have won a game I
refer to the game with Sacred
Heart on Feb. ID. We were six
points ahead It was tied at the
end and our best man was
benched in the overtime, and
even the Sacred Heart players
admitted that the refs failed to
call some of their obvious fouls!
We needed to win at least O.NK
game, for the boys' and their
wonderful coach's sake and
this game, our only chance,
was GIVEN to Sacred Henri.
We chalked up 54 points
against Bonanza. We chalked
up a tie (during play) In Ihe
ncnrpK In each Malin game, the
mighty Malin team that brat

whom are playing this year in
Ihrir FIRST seamn Bob Hath

subs 13) are never used to give
our good boys rest, they are
used only In dire emergencies.
In your last write-up you made
a commiserating remark about
"Ihrir lark of height" which of
course Is obvious.

inch we've got a grand bunch
of hard-working players, so
please give a little credit where
credit is due if not a big "win"
how about a nice picture of our
boys it would warm the cock
les of their hearts. And mem
tion too, if you please, that two
basketball greats came out of
Bly. I mean Gary Patke who
moved away because a mill
burned, and Glenn Moore who
was wooed away from Bly in
1956 by "you know who." And
remind your readers that Bly
went all the way to the finals
two years ago.
Well, I've had my say, so
Happy writing,
A team Mom and a
devoted fan,

understandable ... an 0-17 sea

coach or a team happy ... but
it can, and does, happen. I
Remember coach Jim Cordial!
and his Owl baseball team last
season?
But, at the same time, I can
see no reason for the Bobcats
to go around with heads hanging.
If they did their best, which I'm
sure they did, there's no disgrace
attached to the situation . . . and
in a short time I'm sure that
both the coach and the players,
will be able to look back and!
laugh at it. - '
Besides, all hope is not lost
. , . there is still the tourna
ment . . . and while Bly'g as
signment is not an easy one,
they meet the league-leading Chil
oquin Panthers the first night,
they can still nab a win and this
one could be real "big."
