ROBERT TODD
BEARS SPLIT
HOOP PAIR
WITH K. FALLS
Using superior height to their
advantage, the K. Falls Peli
cans rolled Ashland Feb. 24 bv
a score of 72-51.
Six-foot-seven Glen Moore
sparked the Pelican team with
22 points. Parent and Sword
had 11 points each and John
son had 10 points for the losers.
The Pels had a good first j
quarter, leading the Bears 21-
10. Ashland fought back in the
second quarter but the Peli
cans were still ahead at th?
start of the third period, 25-19.
Coach Al Simpson substitut
ed freely in the second half to
let every player have a chance
to see action. This action on
Simpson's part was to our ad
vantage. Alley showed good
bsll-hawking ability, stealing
the ball from the Pelicans 3
times in about a minute. Cluff
c; nnected with two beautiful
long shots, and the two Fitch
brothers, Green, and Tobiasson
p'.ayed a good defensive 4th
quarter.
