Carrigan Spark .Gordon Carrigan was the Com et defensive sparkplug at in is stage of the fray Just as he was the offense gun in the third quar ter. Several times he swiped the ball from the finger tips of tall Ralph Carroll to start a Crater thrust down the floor. Comet failure to capitalize on these self-made advantages was a factor along with Pel altitude that kept the fray from being closer. Crater cause was dam aged also as Punky Monroe was charged with four fouls in the first half and left the game after his fifth one in the third period. Carroll Gets 17 Carroll was top scorer with 17, of which 12 were in the first half. Carrigan got 13, of which nine were in the third stanza and Larry Bigham dropped in 12 for Crater.

The game - was four minutes along before Ralph Carroll's i'ield goal made the score 4 to 1. The Comet's knotted the hassle on Larry Bigham's field shot and Punky Monroe's gifter. Doug Pence hit for a 6 to 4 Klamath margin. Rocky Spence got a free toss and Bill Boye fol lowed with a field bucket for a 7 to 6 Comet edge, Crater's only lead of the night. Ralph Carroll towered over the Comets to put Klamath ahead 8 to 7. Bell's long shot seconds before the in termission gave Klamath a 10 to 7 spread at the quarter. Pels Pull Away Gordon Carrigan of Crater closed the gap to 10 to 9 as the second quarter opened. But Klamath gained advantages of 14 to 9 and IS to 10. Bigham's goal made it 15 to 12 midway through the stanza. Then Klam ath roared to a commanding lead. The Pels extended to 27 to 12 before Crater could hit the hoop again. Halftime standing was 31 to 15. Carroll and Jerry Johnson spurred the second period ram ble with nine and eight points, respectively. In the third period Klamath built up a 27-point lead of 44 to 17.
