I Klamaths rail 1 0 Hertford 2 1 AAhland . . 2 1 Grant Pass . 1 1 Crater 0 3 Pet 1 000 .667 .6K7 .500 .000 A zippy, driving Klamath Falls Union High school basket ball quintet, which gained more advantage from its opportunities with torrid shooting from the field, boomed into its 1957 South ern Oregon conference campaign here Friday night and loomed as the team to beat in the merry chase after trimming the Med ford Black Tornado 68 to 57. It was Klamath's sixth win in seven games, six of which have been non-conference. Medford suffered its first setback in three league games and fell into a second spot tie with Ashland which bounced Crater high 48 to 34 on Friday. Grants Pass, with a bye in the circuit, played Rose burg and lost to the Indians 52 to 41. Medford was 6-3 for the sea son, Ashland 7-1. Crater 4-5 and Grants Pass 2-6 after Friday hassles. Hot First Half A hot first half was the big factor in the Klamath triumph over the Tornado. The Pelicans didn't shoot so often from the field as the Medfordites but they bettered them substantially in accuracy, averaging .550 to the Tornado's .194 in the first two quarters. It was a more even scrap in the second half with the Pels squelching every effort to catch up. The, Pelicans sparked by the fiery play of guards Butch Kempton and Lee McGill, the scoring of elongated Glenn Moore, Bob Niles and Kimpton and the backboard play of Moore, Cliff Sutherland and Niles were on top the rest of the way after going in front 12 to 10 on Niles' fast break basket with 2V minutes to play in the first quarter. Kimpton hit a mid-range jump er and tabulated off a fast break for 16 to 10 at the quarter. The teams duplicated their first period points in the second canto for a 32 to 12 Pelican lead. Lead by 18 Points Two buckets by Moore and one each by Kimpton and McGill while Dick Copple swished a long jumper for Medford gave the Pels an 18-point spread at 40 to 22 with less than two min utes played in the third quarter. From that time the Tornado made a furious bitter battle of it. But, while they narrowed the gap from time to time, the Med fordites couldn't overtake the KF five. The Pels continued warm from the field and took the bene fit of gift tosses as fouls were tooted against the Tornado in its efforts to wresf the ball from Klamath. Medford shooting warmed up at this stage and on the gunning of Copple, Dick Puhl and Larry Perkins and the Tornado cut its deficit down to eight markers at 49 to 41 with just over 1V4 minutes left in the stanza. Suth erland got two fielders and Ken Douglas two free heaves for KF while Neil Plurnley put in two gifters for Medford. That gave both clubs 13 points for the quarter with Klamath holding 55 to 43 command at the inter mission. Cut To Nina . In the fourth quarter the Pels held leads at 61 to 47 and 63 to 49. Bilbee Lane's free toss and rebounder field goal and two charity throws by Dick Mc Laughlin hacked the spread to nine points at 63 to 54 with two 1 -1 inn Yei, bowling's fun far rrtrybody young and old ft a cost anybody Cis afford.

Nine points, 66 to 57 separated the teams with 28 seconds to go and Kimpton added a last bucket on a break. Medford hopes were upped with three minutes to play in the third quarter when the Pel's 6-7 star, Moore, was called to the bench after his fourth foul. It was in that stage that the Tornado made its severest chal lenge. But the Pels held on with out the help of his rebounding and shooting. Medford lost its tallest man, .Neil Plurnley, 6-5, and also Puhl, 5-11, in the early part of the fourth quarter on fifth infrac tion. Moore returned then to play the last i'z minutes of the game. Klamath Falls made 23 out of 51 field goal tries in the eve ning for .451 average while Med ford connected on 20 of 63 for .317. In the first half the Peli cans hit 1 1 for 20 and Medford a meager 7 of 36 as KF defense choked many Tornado efforts in close. With 22 fouls whistled on the Tornado, the Whitebirds had more free chances and made 22 shots of 35. Medford took 27 gift tosses on 16 Klamath per sonals and put in 17 for a slim edge in average of .629 to .628. Rebounding Even Rebounding was almost even with Klamath getting a 36 to 33 edge. Medford picked up a big ger share of offensive backboard retrieves. The Pels didn't have to. Their shots went through the hoop more consistently. Moore got six field goals and seven free sots for 19 points and top scoring laurels. Kimpton fired in seven from the field and had 18 counters. The 6-7 center had 12 rebounds for Klam ath and Niles and Sutherland each eight. Copple was the leading light for the Tornado with nine field goals for 18 points and sparkling. aggressive ball-hawking floor play. Plurnley had 11 retrieves from the boards and Copple, Mc Laughlin and Tom Hamlin each six. Puhl and Copple came through with some fine ball stealing for Medford but often the Tornado was not able to capitalize on the opportunities presented. Perkins, a non-starter because of a sore foot tendon, played much of the contest although noticeably hampered by the ail ment and contributed some good floor work for the Tornado.

Carter Gains Impressive Ring Verdict New York ftl.PJ Speedy young Harold Carter, spurred by the most impressive victory of his career, declared, "bring on Hurricane Jackson next!" Carter, the socking Sunday school teacher from Linden, N J., handed a lopsided beating Fri day night to big Bob Baker of Pittsburgh the same Baker who last year lost two questionable split decisions to top heavy weight contender Jackson. Using in-and-out tactics, the nimble Harold was so superior to 30-year-old Baker in their TV radio 10-rounder at Madison Square Garden that the three ring officials gave hi mthe deci sin on a rounds basis. 8-1-1, 8-2, and 8-1-1. The United Press agreed, 8-2. Many of the ringsiders con cluded that big Bob is definitely "washed up." Ironically, how ever. Manager Dusty Bettor said, "Bob was just off form and dull because of idleness. He had only three bouts last year. I'm going to string along with him, and try to have him fight every six weeks." That was a verbal about-face, indeed, for Bettor. Only Friday the pilot said, "if Baker doesn't win tonight, I'm through with him. It'll be win or goodbye."
