i Owl Outlook By Wanda Burleson By WANDA Bl'RLESOX Football equipment was be ing put back into moth balls this week on the Owl campus and coaches and players were reminiscing about the" "fair" '63 season. Penalties, mistakes and inexperience hurt the Owl squad. However, even with 33 freshmen the Owls placed third in the conference. This year's squad produced several o u t standing gridders and all the Owl foes developed a great re spect for the Oregon Tech grid squad. Coach Ron Pheister said the Owls had hoped for a better record but that he is pleased w ith the progress every individ ual gridder made during the season. The Owls will put the lid on the '63 season tonight a: the Awards Banquet. The ban quet will be at the Winema Ho tel. This is a good opportunity for all Owl fans to honor OTI gridders. The dinner begins at 6 p.m. The feature speaker will be George Shaw, former Uni versity of Oregon and pro quar terback. 'Both the weather and the cal endar tell us it is rapidly ap proaching the time for the great sport of basketball to besiege Owl fans. For over a week now the ac tivity in the Owls' mile high gym has been progressing a: a rapid tempo. Coach Jim Part low, the Owl head basketball mentor, has inaugurated the Owl hoop-ball program for the '63 - '64 season. Thirty one ori ginally turned out for the squad but that number has now beo.i cut down to 21. Coach Partlow was enthusiastic about the num ber but cautious about the lim ited experience of his crew. The '62 - '63 hoop season pro duced the OCC champion f o r the OTI fans and it will be a long time before Owl fans for get the antics and the outstand ing play of the "iron man five.:' However, the original five have all parted from OTI and Part- Iowa Passes To Tie With Michigan 'IV lllini Tops Wisconsin MADISON, Wis. (UPI) - Il linois intercepted three passes and recovered two Wisconsin fumbles Saturday to pave the path to a 17-7 triumph and keep alive its chances for both the Big Ten championship and a Rose Bowl trip. The lllini win was its fourth with one defeat and one tie, and meant that Illinois can win the conference" crown and an automatic bowl berth by defeat ing Michigan State, unbeaten in Big Ten play, in the season fi nale next Saturday. Illinois packed almost all of its offense into the opening min utes of the game. A 77 yard drive on the ground after a roughing the kicker penally kept the march alive and resulted in the first touchdown, on a two yard plunge by sophomore Jim Grabowski. Defense back George Donnel ly brought in the second score when he intercepted a pass by Badger quarterback Dave Fro nek, his first throw of the game, and returned 24 yards for a touchdown. WHITEY THINKS.. Dazed Ford Selected For Dual Yank Position Worth 55 Grand By OSCAR FRALEY VPI Sports Writer NEW YORK (UPI) Whitcy Ford was in a kind of daze when the Kefc York Yankees asked him if he'd like to sign both as a pitcher and a pitching coach. "I'd just come into the house after speaking at a dinner in New Hampshire for 5,000," he said. He gulped and added hastily: "Five thousand people, that is." 1 He "slept on it" and then a'rced to his dual role. The fact that an estimated $55,000 salary went with it helped con siderably to make up his mind. Ralph Houk. whose jump to , general manager paved the t way for Yogi Berra to become ' manager, still rode the bench at the announcement. He was a bit apolncetic. "We didn't mean to compete with that other fellow having a press conference today." he said, referring to the fact that President Kennedy was speech . making a few blocks away. Yogi stood around, shifting from one leg to another and low is left with the task of de fending the title with a crew of inexperienced but promising hoopsters. Two of last season's "A 1 1 Stars." Willie Anderson and "Sweet" Sammie Smith, have gone on to greater glories on the basketball court. Both Smith and Anderson are playing on I lie pro Harlem Stars squad. The squad will play at OTI in January and local fans can once again view the former Oregon Tech greats. Sammie sent word that he might soon retire to accept a position with the government in his aca demic field. However, let's hope he postpones this until they play in our town. To fill the positions of the "iron man five" coach Partlow will call on veterans Wayne Dennis, 6-0, Chuck Hawkins, 6-4, and Bon l Will) Wilkerson, 6-10. All three boys are from last season's reserve. Also aid ing the cause will be Rich Ly ons, 6-1, Contra Costa JC trans fer. Lyons, a former All-Conference player, will fill the wing spot on the Owl squad. "This is definitely a building year for us," summed up Part low. The Owls w ill have to build fast before they meet .Paci fic University a NWC power house. Dec. 5 in the NAIA tip off tournament. "When you play Pacific you get your educa tion the hard way," said t h e Owl coach. The tremendous turnout of the Owl hoop prospects will enable the Owls to field a JV squad for the first time in several sea sons. The Owl understudies will be mentored by Coach Larry Burleson and will play prelim inary games in the varsity as well as several individual matches. While ' Owl fans anxiously await the first home game, Partlow and colleagues will be busy building a squad that can successfully defend the OCC ANN ARBOR. Mich. (UPI) -Iowa quarterback Gary Snook flipped two touchdown passes and ran for a third Saturday to lead the underdog Hawkeyes to a 21-21 Big Ten deadlock with Michigan. Iowa took a 14-7 lead at half lime but Michigan drove for a pair of third period touchdowns by Mel Anthony, who also scored the first Wolverine TD, to jump into a 21-14 lead going into the final period. But Snook tossed his second touchdow n pass of the game on a 15-yard play to Paul Krause and Jay Roberts kicked his third extra point of the game to dead lock the score early in the last period. Besides the touchdow n pass to Krause, Snook tossed a 13-yard touchdown pass to Cloyd Webb and ran 13 yards himself for a touchdown in the second period when Iowa poured across two touchdowns in a three-minute span. Anthony scored the three Michigan touchdowns on a 13 yard run in the first period and a pair of one-yard plunges in the third period. Michigan 7 0 14 0-21 Iowa 0 14 0 721 nodding gnomish agreement to Houk's statements as the Iron Major explained a number of items. Stays in Games One was that Ford had always worked with younger pitchers, this way all hands would feel free to give or ask advice and that Whitcy "has been thinking of staying in baseball as a coach when his pitching days are over." Whiley agreed, as serting that he looked forward to a "couple more years of ac tion." Houk went on to say that Rog er Maris wasn't on the trading block: Rocky Colavito of De troit wouldn't do well in Yankee Stadium because his power is to left center which is the deep est spot in Yankee Stadium; pitching was the Yankees' strong suit: the Yanks were trying to develop and not trade for future talent; and that the big drive was to produce a catcher for the future as well as power -hitting outfielders. The question also arose as to whether, when he was pitching and lost his stuff, as pitching Af'- LJ. J TCL BUILDING SKEIN Greqorio Peralta (right!, heavyweight champ of Argentina and Wayne Thornton of Fresno, Calif., exchange blows during their light-heavyweight bout at Madison Square Garden Friday night. Peralta extended his unbeaten string to 43 bouts by pounding out an-unpopular split decision over Thornton. UPI Telephoto Title Bout Guarantee Wanted In Exchange For Second Bout NEW YORK (UPI i Argen tina's Gregorio Peralta, contro versial split-decision victory over California's Wayne Thornton, said today he'll grant Thornton a return television fight if Ma dison Square Garden guaran tees the winner a shot at the light heavyweight crown. Tlie victory extended Peral ta's unbeaten string to 44 bouts. Promoter Harry Markson wants the return 10-rounder on Dec. 13, because Friday night's Garden fight was so exciting and controversial. Whether Markson can guarantee the win ner a title bout with champion Willie Pastrano he did not say. Dark-haired Peralta, 28, and favored at 11-5, won an unpopu lar verdict over blondish Thorn ton, 24. because he had manag ed to build up what seemed a lead from the third round through the seventh. However, Thornton's thrilling Huskers Hold On For Big Eight Win STILLWATER. Okla. (UPD Ninth-ranked Nebraska with stood a bristling Oklahoma State rally in the fourth quarter Saturday to notch a 20-16 Big Eight victory. Nebraska, clicking well be hind sophomore quarterback Fred Duda, had built up a 20-3 lead when Oklahoma State made its move. Cowboy quar terback Mike Miller rallied his forces for two- touchdowns in the final period, but they came too late. Miller completed 19 of 32 passes for 165 yards in the futile rally. Duda, a 183-pounder from Chicago, subbing for the injured Dennis Claridgc, scored one touchdown on an eight - yard keeper and kept two other drivers going with his ball han dling. - The victory, the eighth for Nebraska in nine games, kept the Cornhuskers unbeaten in Big Eight play and set the stage for next Saturday's game with Oklahoma to determine an Orange Bowl berth. Miller passed four yards to coach he would lake himself out of tlie game or whether Berra would make the decision as manager. Ford Makri Decision Houk interjected that during the past three years Ford was the only pitcher permitted to make his own decision as to whether he would remain in the game or be relieved. Houk said he doubted whether he had overruled Whitcy in the decision more than four of five times. "I guess it would be up to Yogi now whether I left the game." Whitcy said. "When he wasn't the manager and I wasn't a coach he let me know. Every time he'd look into the bench. I knew I was gone." Yogi shifted to the other leg and grinned. "He had the possibility nf be coming a coach." Yogi said in a statement somewhat compar able to his "Thank you for making this necessary" the time they gave him a "night" in SI. Louis. "When it comes to the pitchers. I won't be afraid to a?k Whitcy 'i advice." Houk smiled paternally. start in the first round and his stronger finish caused many of the 2.500 fans in (lie Garden to boo the decision for almost five minutes. Peralta's nearly closed left eye, which trickled blood from a cut on the lid. probably stimulated some of the objec tions. Peralta, although heavyweight champion of Argentina, weighed only 178'i pounds Friday night only three and one-half above the light heavyweight limit. Thornton, a recognized light heavyweight contender, regis tered 179'?. Rangy, fast-stepping Gregorio used side-to-side tactics during most of the rounds against the stockier straight-line body-blaster from Fresno, Calif. There were no knockdowns although each was knocked back onto his heels many times. The two judges favored the South American on a rounds Jeff Williams to pull Oklahoma Stale, which has won only once in eight games, to within four points of the two-touchdown fa vorite. But less than a minute remained and Nebraska ran out the clock. Kentucky Tops Bears WACO, Tex. (UPI) Ken lucky sophomore quarterback Rick Norton won a passing duel with Baylor's Don Trull in a 44 mile an hour wind Saturday to lead the Wildcats to a 19-7 in terscctional football upset. Three pass interceptions, one by halfback Darrell Cox or a 42-yard touchdown, helped Ken tucky. The Wildcat line pressed Trull, the nation's leading pass er, and threw him for losses on several key plays. After trading wind - blown punts most of the first half, Kentucky scored 13 points in less than a minute to give them a lead Baylor was never able to challenge. ...THEN AGREES "Yogi asked me about Whitcy when I decided Johnny Sain s terms for returning as pitching coach were unreasonable," Houk said. "I told him Whitey would be fine." Which may give you a hint as to who is still boss around the house that Ruth built. Joe DiMaggio enhanced and Casey Stengel wired for sound.

UPH-Seventh-ranked Alabama com bined the driving runs of half backs Benny Nelson and Hudson Harris with a timely defense Saturday to defeat Georgia Tech 27-11 in a bruising Southeastern Conference battle. The Crimson Tide, ahead 14-3 was rocked on its heels by a savage second half Georgia Tech attack, superbly guided by quarterback Billy Lothridge. But Alabama, led by guard Bill Wiescman, put up two immov able stands, stopping the Yellow Jackets at the one and the 25 . Alabama, abandoning the pass ing game that had been its mainstay all year, scored on a 44-yard run by halfback Ray mond Ogden, two of one-yard and six-yards by Benny Nelson and a one-yard plunge by quar terback Joe Namath.

Sure, the players are bigger and better all around, but a sound football player who has made his mark in collegiate play sufficiently to be consid ered by the pros can usually overcome all problems. But, consider tlie collegiate player w ho makes the big move to Candian pro football, where not only are the players out standing but differences in the playing rules must be taken into consideration. Such is the story of the fresh man pro football year for for- , mer Klamath Falls and Rose burg grid star, C. B. Simons. Sions, son of Dutch Simons who posted a fantastic wrestling record at Klamath Falls and was athletic director later at Roseburg, completed his initial year in the profes sional football ranks this year and is an obvious source of information on the change from the collegiate play to the play-for-pay brand of football. In Simons' case tlie change was considerably different. An offensive tackle and de fensive linebacker in both high school and college play, the for mer state all-star tackle was used as a linebacker in pro ball utilizing his tremendous speed despite his 240-pound, 6-2 frame. Drafted from Stanford by the Denver Broncos, Simons went through training and three weeks of tlie AFL counting ac tion before he and Denver offi cials came to a parting of the ways. Simons immediately latched onto the Edmonton Eskimos In the Canadian loop. And immediately he was as signed as a linebacker. And very quickly the differ ences in the American game compared to the Canadian brand of football were facing him. "The biggest thing to get used to was the wider field they use. "Another thing which both- crcd me was Ihe five backs and all of them allowed to go in motion any direction. "It takes a little time to ad just to these differences and another big problem for me from the linebacker position was recognizing the formations with all those backs." The former Pelican obviously adjusted to the differences quickly and sufficiently to be come a No. 1 defensive man for the Eskimos this year. Simons was one of two rook ies on the Edmonton club which was in a rebuilding year. The other was LSU quarterback Lynn Amadee. In looking back over the first professional football year Si mons singles out the earlier meeting between the San Diego Chargers and Denver as ". . . my best game." But the Canadian runners brought tlie most praise from him as he tabbed Willie Flem ming of Vancouver as the best back. "He's real shifty and difficult to bring down." Former Roseburg and Ore FORMER OLYMPIAN DIES PASADENA, Calif. (UPI) -Otto Anderson, a hurdler on the United States Olympic team in 1924, died of a heart attack Friday. He was 63.

Simons was visiting friends in Klamath Falls on his way home which is now San Jose, Calif., with hunting around tlie local area high in his list of ". . . things to do between now and Thanksgiving." A pre-dental student at Stan ford, Simons plans on return ing to Canada soon and contin uing his schooling at tlie pre dental college of the Universi ty of Alberta.

This was natural as the vets who might have been ". . . skat ing on thin ice" sought to pro tect their jobs. "After the season started, though, we were accepted." Of interest to local people is the work, also, of Simons' younger brother Steve. Steve Simons, who was born in Klamath Falls, is now a soph omore at Del Mar High School in San Jose, Calif., and as his older brother says, "He's big ger than 1 was at that age."
