Basketball . . . Red Raiders, . . . go get 'eml And they did just that. Scorching the maples from Portland in the north to the Golden Gate city of the south, Ted Schopf's prodigies showed Southern Oregon College's best athletic prow- ess. As strong contenders for the league championship, the Raiders played a total of 32 games, winning 22 of them. Led by Keith Burr- Head Wade who amassed an unbe- lievable total of 577 points in 30 games, the SOCites once again found themselves AIB-tourney bound. Com- ing up with the best record of the Oregon Educational colleges, the Raiders vied with Linfield and Port- land University at Portland, dropping the latter game, hence also their ticket to Kansas City. The season was the most pleasing one since the team won the bid to travel to Kansas City several years ago. The backbone of the team throughout the entire season definite- ly was 6'4 Keith Wade. Joining Wade in their last year at S.O.C. were troopers Harlan Weaver, Jack Barg- er, Oliver Trendall, Bill O'Neal, Baldy Foster, and Jim,Palmer. In regards to future years, the men who pleased coach Ted Schopf were Keith Johnson, Bill McLean, George Johnson, Keith McLean, Dale Newton and Gene DePugh. ln Conference standing, the Red Raiders placed second, with Keith Wade being a unanimous choice for an all conference position. Harlan Weaver and Bill O'Neal gained sec- ond team honors. 16151. Vf' ' Q
