At Klamath Falls last night, Jack Newby's diminutive quintet was blasted off the court by the K-Falls Pelicans, who ran away In the last three frames, after Roseburg players fought their hosts on even terms for- most of the first quarter. The final score, 53-34, was In dicative of what a tall team can do with a small one. Newby's squad just touches 5'11" In spots, while the Pelicans fielded three players that crowded 6'5", minus their elevators. The three Pelican longies mo noplized the backboard, taking rebound after rebound from the tiny tusslers of Roseburg. Pelicans Pull Ahead The game started out to be a contest, with Roseburg gaining the lead on occasion then drop ping back. The host team pulled ahead Just before the first quar ter ended and never got into trouble after that. With snow falling furiouslyout side and the temperature hover ing around 15 degrees, Indian players managed to stay warm enough during the game to offer some resistance. Dexer Garey sparked the Roseburg squad offensively, withl2 points for the team. Larry Freeman, playing his first game with the varsity after making a fine showing with the jayvees in two games this season, was hail ed by Newby as an outstanding offensive player, while Frank Olson, Gordon Conley and Roy Van Horn proved to be pillar players defensively. The Pelicans led at every quar ter, by the following margins: 11-9, 25-15 and 36-23. Tonight, both clubs play the second game in the series. New by's aggregation heads for home Sunday morning.

Los Angeles Rams To Meet Eagles For Championship LOS ANGELES, Dec. 17 (.IP) The Los Angeles Rams will need that old college spirit, if there Is such a thing in professional foot ball, to defeat the workmanlike Philadelphia Eagles and win the National league championship.

The Eagles remain the pick of most observers to win the crown again, with seven and a half points the general odds offered on the chance-taking fronts.
