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

minutes to play but the Tornado
could come no closer. 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."
A career as a Marina If fnrt
estinq, colorful and, wfaea com
pleted, secure with retirement
benefit for hie. Dminq the
years promotions and pay in
creases are steady, with trail
lag and trarel,
