et showed hustle and drive
throughout. They turned up
their noses at tne stalling tactics
used by at least one other Klam

was a ball-hawking club and its
scrappiness held Klamath down
well into the second frame.
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.
Ray Bell tallied for Klamath
right at the start of the game
and Bill Boye got a free shot for
Crater to make the count 2 to 1.
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. Crater found the bucket for
12 points after that and the third
quarter margin of the Pelicans
was 50 to 29.
In the final canto the Comets
outscored a Klamath quint of
mostly reserves 13 to 8 but a reg
ular. Jack Horton, canned five
of the Pel markers. Crater, it
self, was hurt in the period by
the loss of Boye and Spence on
fouls.
Klamath won the Big Four ti
tle in the district and Crater the
Little Three laurels. Friday's
tray was the first m a two-out-of-three
