gon conference basketball stand
ing? today.
Grants Pass and Klamath
Falls picked up victories on Sat
urday night to pull into a tie
with the Medford Black Tornado
which was idle over the week
end.
The Cavemen of GP won 53
to 49 over Crater at Central
Point while Klamath Falls was
an unpleasant host to Ashland
57 to 40. Both GP and KF had
two-came week end scries
sweeps over their respective
rivals. Ashland was pushed from
a tie for first spot into fourth
position in the circuit.
At Central Point the Cave
men found Crater full of fight
but unable to mass scoring punch
in their scrappiest bids. Grants
Pass broke a deadlock 3'i min
utes into the third, built up a
10 -point bulge and held on
from there. The Comets could
shrink the gap to no less than
six points and the Cavemen had
ll point spreads of 56 to 45 and
58 to 47 in the final minutes.
Pels Gain Wide Lead
The Pelicans at Klamath Falls
exercised backboard control
over Ashland and ran up a 45 to
19 margin in three periods in
trouncing Ashland. Halftime
score was 32 to 18. Mel Daily of
Ashland was high scorer with
18. Butch Kimpton had 15 and
Glenn Moore 12 for Klamath.
Grants Pass never trailed
against Crater after taking a 4
to 3 lead in the first panel. But
the Comets, putting out all the
way, knotted the tussle at 14-all,
28-all and 30 each. Had Crater
been able to put in a few more
of its free shot tries in the early
third quarter, the Comets might
have been able to turn the tide
In their favor.
Jim Smith sank a 10-foot
pusher to make the score 32 to
30 and put GP in front to stay.
Chuck Rembert got a pair of
gifters, Larry Walker and Bob
Fowler each a field bucket and
a free point. Mike 'Sparlin a
jumper and Fowler a closey off
a jump ball. In the meantime.
Crater's standout of the game,
Fred Herrmann, had picked up
a fielder and two charity throws
as GP gained its 44 to 34 com
mand.
Herrman put in 10 points each
in the second and third quarters
and a free marker in the fourth
canto for 21 points and high
honors of the game. He spurred
the Comets with his ball-hawking
but fouled out in the final
seconds of the game.
Smith Has 15
Smith was the high point man
for GP with 15 and his team
mate, Fowler, had 11. The two
and Herrman were the only
players to score In double
figures.
Rivalry under the backboards
was even in the first half but the
Comets, mainly on their furious
play in the third quarter had a
41 to 32 rebounding edge for the
game.
Grants Pass, firing less but
more accurately than the Comets,
had only one more field goal
than Crater, 16 to -15. Caveman
shooting average was .338 to
Crater's .277. At the free line
CP put in 26 of 33 tries and
Crater 20 of 30.
Period scores in the mix
favored Grants Pass 14 to 12,
23 to 26 and 46 to 40.
Grants Pass won the junior
varsity encounter 59 to 30 help
ed by 15 points by Dick Hayes
and 11 by Rick Sabin. Hershel
Mack recorded 10 for Crater.
