BUM TORNADO OPPOSES KLAMATH'S PELS
TOKHTvSATURDAY 1H 'TC
While the door can't be opened
Immediately by the gale blasts
of the Black Tornado, the" key
could be provided this week end
for Medf ord high's aspired entry
into the basketball champion
ship halls of the Southern Oregon
Conference. .. .. .
Medf ord, top-rated in Oregon
and undefeated in its circuit,
takes on what promises to be its
strongest conference opposition
tonight and Saturday night as
host here to' the second-running
Klamath Falls Pelicans.. Games
at 8:15 o'clock will come after
6:45 o'clock junior varsity pre
Iiminaries. ' .- .:
Meanwhile, tail-ender Grants
Pass goes to Ashland tonight
and i the third-spot . Grizzlies
travel to Grants Pass tomorrow,
r The Klamath series , here def
initely has "key" status for the
Black Tornado., There are two
good reasons. First, Medford has
a ' chance to take a : whopping
three-game lead over Its nearest
rival at - the Midway Pause "of
the pennant romp. Second, Med
ford - can use - home court" tri
umphs as insurance against its
late February " trip to Pelican
Land. There is an old Klamath
gym jinx that could harass the
Tornado. . !" - . . .
' Week end action ha a show.
down tinge even at this stage of
the campaign. Klamath, once-
marred in the league, has a big
opportunity to upset and' boom
in front of the No. 1-in-Oregon
Black Tornado. The Pels, even
with a series split, will , keep
right on the heels of the. Med
fordites -in league contention.
Medford needs a series sweep
if it is to grasp this week end
the means of' tripping the
tumblers. -
Aside from the title chase,
there . are other aspects of in
terest in the , Medf ord-Klamath
scuffles. The curiousity con
cerns whether and how the big,
rugged' Pelicans can stop - the
high-powered, driving, hustling
Medford offensive which has run
up per-game averages of 76.25
or the loop and 63.8 for the sea-
sonl And, there is the haunting
question of Medford's ability, to
cope with the all-around height
of the Pelican quintet :
Klamath's ' altitude and the
shooting of a couple of its big
boys have been the assets " in
running up a record of six wins
and four losses for the season.
Medford's strength in its 12-1'
season has been in good balance
of all departments. Both clubs
have held down their opposition
effectively with iron defense and
fine backboard work.
The Tornado has its own tall
men in 6-4V Glenn Peterson and
Jerry Kalapus. It has faced a
couple of clubs this season with
taller, players than boasted 'by

Southern California, each allow
ing 66.8 points a game. USC has
held opponents ito the lowest
average on field goal attempts,
3 " per cent. ,
the Pels but Klamath presents
probably the best overall height
that Medford has encountered.
Ability to get and control the
ball paid off handsomely for the
Tornado ; against ; both Grants
Pass and Ashland. Klamath has
an asset that may prove an equal
izer under the boards this week.
D'OlivoTops
Dave D'Ohvo, 6-4, provides
the main scoring punch of " the
Pelicans and Guy Munsell, 6-2,
is another big gun. D'Olivo has
radar sense . in hooking and tip
ping the ball into the bucket and
is a terrific rebounder. : Right
behind him in the boards de
partment is 6-3 Marlin Causey.
Larry Yarnell, 6-2, . rounds out
the. likely; starting height..
As if the ; tall men were not
enough, the Pels have a .half-
pint speed merchant, in, 5-6 Jack
Sunitsch. He - comes ., through
with points from long range.
His stellar floorwork keeps
things lively. -. - . ; --
The ; Pelicans have additional
height- in! reserves; Denny Todd
and Craig McCarty, both 6-3 and
Orin -Perkins,; 6-1 ; " X Dan ; Lowe
and Dave Pepple are top-line
reserves under ; the 6-foot level
From .all reports,; Klamath
can move at a good clip with all
its height But Medford. with
just two 6-footers in, the line-up,
should show more speed and pre
cision. - Medford - has an . t'in;
threat .with Kalapus and .Peter
son and "outside" scoring with
Larry Copple and Frank Rector,
who "hit consistently from far
away-and-from key hole circle,
and side court range. . -
; Biid Kastner comes ; through
with -tallies 6ii. becasieh,' and
helps 4 the Tornado ; perk,- along
with"- Rector and Copple, with
his floor? play - and feeding and
with his tough defensive I work,
He'll join with Kalapus and Pet
erson in the rebound work. The
three have done rather , well in
past conflicts in plucking the
ball from the boards. But they'll
have more competition this week
and have real jobs cut out for
them.
