KF Pelicans
Strengthened
By Transfers
Klamath Falls "Shy of ex
perience" are the words which
briefly describe the basketball
picture at Klamath union high
school.
But Bob Peterson, beginning
his second yea? as head hoop
coach of the Pelicans, has some
good height, some encouraging
transfer prospects and a number
of candidates up from the junior
varsity. They should make Kla
math title possibilities shine
brighter as the season progress
es.
There (aire two returning let-
termen. Orin Perkins, 6-foot for
ward-guard, and "Dave Pepple,
5-8 guard. Pepple is taking it
easy on a broken foot which
kept him out of football action.
(9kte has yet tt) give it full test in
scrimmage sessions and is just
shooting to keep in shape.
Other than this twosome there
isn't much to be counted upon
in the way of varsity "know
how." O
Peterson, however, has three
top prospects who transferred to
Klamath Falls this year and two
of them are in the "big boy"
category. Tallest is a 6-6 color
ed youth from Bly, Glenn Moore.
He's a sophomore and a very
"promising hoopster. Moore is re
garded as aboi a year away
from Southern Oregon Confer
ence standards. However, he
moves well for his 16 years and
size and could be tough at the
end of the season.
Bob Niles at KF
Another new Pelican is 6-5
uu liuinenana, junior xiom
Malin. He also lacks the polish
demanded. A-l prep play, lead
ing ' Peterson to point for next
year. Mike Runge is a 5-11 trans
fer from Ev'anston, 111. He's a
fair outside shot and may break
into the starting line-up.
Other leading. candidates now
are Donn Taucher, 5-10, senior;
Butch Kimpton, 6-1 junior; Lee
McGill, 5-7 junior, and ' Earle
Tichenor, 6-5 senior.
Starting combination is still
undecided but a possible one is
Moore at Center; Runge, Kimp
ton and Taucher outside and
Tichenor or Sutherland in under
with Moore.
Another transfer, Bob Niles
from Medford, may be in the
future planning of Peterson.
Niles, a sophomore, is 6-3. He's
with the varsity now but may
complete the season with the jay-vees.
Battered Basilic Stops Tony
In Welterweight Toga Defense
By JACK CUDDY
Boston (U.R) Carmen Ba-!
silio, the "Iron Man" from Chit
tenango, N. Y., who again stop
ped ex-champion Tony De Marco
in Wednesday night's thunder
ing return battle at jammed
Boston Garden, will make his
defense of the welterweight
crown in February against an
other ex-champion Johnny Sax
ton. Dr. Charles Heck of Syracuse,
N. Y. personal physician to the
6courageous armor-plated welter
king said today he doubted that
Carmen's injured left hand
would prevent a February de
fense. "It appears to be only
bruised," he said of the left fist
that was hurt in the second
round of Carmen's sensational
return fight with young De
Marco of Boston.
Real Iron Man
Only a real iron man of the
ring could have survived the
terrific battering Basilio took in
the early rounds, before he came
on to floor De Marco twice and
win another 12th round techni
cal knockout over slugger Tony,
from whom he had wrested the
147-nound at Syracuse, N. Y.,
June 10.
Referee Mel Manning stopped
the fiaht at 1:54 of the 12th.
Basilio was nearly knocked
out in the seventh round by a
left hook to the chin that
buckled his knees and o almost
dropped him, and by the barrage
that sent him, reeling about the
ring until the bell ended the
seventh. 0
He had taken such a batter
ing before his body attack again
began to wilt De Marco that all
three ring officials had young
Tony ahead on their score sheets
at the end of the 11th round.
Tries To Rally
Hooks to the body almost jack
knifed stocky, black-haired Tony
in the 10th. Tony was staggered
seven times in the 11th as he
tried to rally and engaged the
persistent champion in savage
exchanges.
. Early in the 12th a barrage
of hooks to the head staggered
the tired Bostonian and a solid
right to the chin dropped him.
He was up at "eight" and Basilio
was rocking him with head
hooks as the referee started to
step in. But before , Manning
could separate them, another ex-fnounced he would try to stage
plosive right landed on Tony's
jaw and blasted him to the can
vas'. Manning waved his hands
over him to denote the finish
and another TKO triumph for
Carmen. It was his 12th victory
and his 48tr? in 66 fights.
Promoter Jim Norris an-
the match between Basilio and
Saxton of Brooklyn in Febru
ary at Miami, Chicago Los An
geles or Syracuse. Saxton lost
the title to De Marco last April
1, and De Marco held.it only
70 days before losing it to Car
men.
Ken Carpenter
Most Valuable
Seaside, Ore. (U.PJ Ken Car
penter, former Oregon State
backfield ace, was notified yes
terday he has been named the
most valuable player by his
temmates on th Regina Rough
rider team of the Canadian
leaeue. Carpenter, who spent a
Sveek at home, left to play in
the East-West Canadian all-star
game Saturday night.
O
Anti-Big Man Rule To Get
First Test This Evening
By JOHN GRIFFIN
United Press Sports Writer
College basketball puts the
1955-56 show on the road to-
night with a pair of star Giants,
Bill Uhl of Dayton and Ronnie
Shavlik of North Carolina State,
ready to give the new anti-big
man rule its first test.
The. anti-big man rule, mak
ing the free throw lane 12 feet
wide instead of six feet, is gne
of three major changes made in
the college game this year. It's
designed to keep the giants fur
ther away from the basket to
make them "earn" their goals in
stead of rolling up scores on
slap-in shots.
But seven-foot Uhl and six
eight Shavlik, two of the na
tion's outstanding contenders for
All-American honors, figure to
do quite a bit of scoring under
any rules tonight.
North Carolina State, peren
nial Atlantic Coast Conference
power ranked No. 4 in the nation
by the United Press board of
coaches in the pre-season rat
ings, is expected to have little
difficulty with Florida State,
and Dayton, ranked No. 6 na
tionally, is a top-heavy favorite
over Pepperdine.

the previous "three-minute rule"

on every personal foul in - the
last three minutes of the game.
The free throw rule now is the
same for all 40 minutes one

Glick Choice
o
Logical One
By EARL WRIGHT
United Press Sports Writer
A glance at the National Foot
ball league standings indicates
that Pittsburgh's choice of Gary
Glick of Colorado A&M as the
bonus' choice during this week's
draft of college players was more
logical than surprising.
Glick, a quarterback who re
ceived little national publicity
until the draft, is noted for his
defensive ability. Defense has
decided the NFL division and
league championships In recent
years and figures to be the key
to success again this year.
The Cleveland Browns, Wash
ington Redskins, Chicago Cardi
nals and New York Giants cur
rently rank 1-2-34 in the Eastern
Division. They also have given
up the fewest points. The Pitts
burgh Steelers and Philadelphia
tagles-, bring up the rear. They
also have allowed the most
points. Pittsburgh has allowed
more points than any other team
in the division, 227.
Same In West
It's the same story in the
Western Division. The Los An
geles Rams, Chicago Bears and
Baltimore Colts, who rank 1-2-3,
have given up the fewest points.
The Green Bay Packers, Detroit
Lions and San Francisco Forty
Niners hold the last three places
and have allowed the most
points.
The general ignoring of the
1955 cojlegiate All-America play
ers in the first three rounds of
the NFL draft this week wasn't
too surprising, either.
In the last five seasons, only
two backs who made United
Press All-America teams were
on clubs that played in the NFL
championship. They were quar
terback Bobby Layne of Texas
and halfback Doak Walker of
Southern Methodist, both of
whom play pro football for the
Detroit Lions.'
Browns Hold Record
' The champion Cleveland
Browns who have appeared in
the NFL championship game a
record five straight times, ac
complished the feat with a stout
defense and no All-American
backs.
Otto Graham, Cleveland's star J
passer, probaJj will get most
ofpthe publicity Sunday at Pitts
burgh but . Brownie - defense
backs Warren Lahr, Ken Konzj
Tommy James, John Petitbon
and Den Paul will play equally
important r roles. The Browns
(7-2-1) are picked to defeat the
Steelers (4-6.)
Other selections with won-lost-tied
records in parenthesis:
Rams (6-3-1) over Colts (5-4-1)
at Los Angeles; Bears 6-4) over
Lions (3-7) at Chicago; Giants
(4-5-1) over Redskins (7-3) at
Washington; Forty-Niners (3-7)
over Packers (5-5? at San Fran
cisco; Eagles (3-6-1) over Cardi
nals (4-5-1) at Philadelphia.
Small, Fast
Court Crew
o
At Talent
Talent Talent high will rely
on a small fast aggregation this
season to defend the Jackson
County B League basketball
championship it has won for the
past two years.
The Bulldogs have more let-
termen on their squad than any
of the other league members but
only two of them have earned
more than one hoop monogram.
Long term veteran is Jack Bar
rett, a three-year letterman sen
ior, who was a regular as a soph
omore and junior. Mel Wallace,
a junior two-year letterman, was
a part-time regular last year.
A bad knee kept Barrett side
lined much of last season but
he's going full blast now.
Other lettermen are Gordv
Thoreson, Ray Weinhold and
Gary Combs, seniors; Fred Helm,
and Ron Weinhold, juniors, and
Bob Hoffman, sophomore. Others
being counted on now for var
sity service are Eldon McGarity,
ii-ioot rf-mcn senior with no ex
perience, Phil Combs, sopho
more and Terry Hazelton, junior,
whfpwas at Talent as a freshman
but attended Eugene high last
year.
Thoreson Hampered
Thoreson is still hamnered bv
a knee injury suffered in0 Ameri
can Legion junior baseball but
later on is expected to be push
ing for a starting spot.
A possible starting five pres-
ently for Talent is Barrett and
Ray Weinhold, forwards; Gary
combs, center, and among Helm,
Hoffman and Wallace, guards.
Coach George Bray has reported
tremendous competition for
starting berths and said that any
player might be moved out by
almost any other player in at
least threSe positions.
McGarity and Hazelton are the
only 6-footers on the squad.
Hazelton is aif even 6 feet. Bar
rett is 5-11 and Ray Weinhold
and Gary Combs each 5-10.
Georgia Tech
Will Ignore
Negro Issue
Atlanta - (U.R) Georgia
Tech will ignore a protest by
influential segregation support
ers aeainst the Sugar bowl
game with Pittsburgh, which' has
a Negro player.
"Our boys voted to play in
the Sugar bowl and we will not
break our contract, especially
since Georgia and Tech have
played against Negroes before
and there has been no criticism"
a spokesman said.
If Pitt uses second - string
fullback Bobby Grier he will be
the first Negro to play in a
Sugar bowl football game but
mixed athletics in other sports
is not new to New Orleans.
Neither Sugar bowl nor Tech
officials placed any racial con
ditions in their post-season
game contract and Pitt's Negro
player attracted little attention
until the protest was issued yesterday.
The executive committee of
the States' Rights Council of
Georgia, Inc., with membership
including one member of the
State Board of Regents, sent its
protest to Georgia Tech Coach
Bobby Dodd.
Dodd declined to comment
publicly but the spokesman said
Tech considered the matter to
be "the Sugar bowl committee's
business they make the invitations."
