Crater Host To Klamath
For Week End Hoop Frays
Central Point Crater high's
Comets are trying to set up a
defense "which we hope will
make Klamath Falls think, any
way." That was the report from
Coach Jim Nau this morning.
The Comets will be hosts Fri
day and Saturday to the Klam
ath Pelicans, co-leader in the
Southern Oregon conference and
No. 2 ranked among A-l basket
ball teams in Oregon.
Occupant of the loop cellar
and wanting d-sperately to get
out, Crater faces a big task
against the Pels who last week
appeared to have swung into

Rogue River
Fishing Good
Portland (U.R) The weekly
report on fishing conditions by
the Oregon State Game commis
sion today said most streams
were too cold and low for good
steelheading.
The report:
Southwest: All middle Ump
qua streams are low, cold and
clear; ice has formed on banks;
occasional steelhead taken from
deep eddies; Coquille river
should be fair to good; good fish
ing reported from the Rogue,
Applegate and Illinois rivers.

For the 12th time in the last
14 years it seems that the South
eastern conference basketball
crown may turn out to be a Ken
tucky "derby."
Baron Adolph Rupp's Wild
cats from the blue grass had to
settle for second place a year
ago in the SEC, but Wednesday
night they went out front by a
half-length in this year's race
with a 84-53 triumph over
Georgia.
Georgia was simply no match
for Kentucky, falling behind 45
28 at halftime and struggling
against the reserves throughout
the second half.
Sophomore Johnny Cox led
Kentucky scorers with 22 pionts
as the Wildcats, ranked the na
tion's No. 3 team by the United
Press Board of Coaches, gained
their 14th victory in 17 starts.
North Carolina, the nation's
No. 1 team, also saw action
Wednesday night but only in a
"tune-up" 77-59 romp over lit
tle Western Carolina to extend
its perfect record to 16-0. Len
nie Rosenbluth paced the Tar
Heels with 24 points.
Otherwise, the spot Light
Wednesday night was on free
throw shooting as Dave Ricketts
of Duquesne established a new
full gear. Aim of the Comets
likely will be to halt Butch
Kimpton and Glenn Moore, big
offensive guns so far this season
for KF.
At the same time the Comets
will have to have eyes on little
Lee McGill, who had his best
night of the season last week
end against Ashland and has
looked good in practices this
week. Also Bob Niles, as a
scorer and rebounder, and Cliff
Sutherland, as a backboard man,
appear to have come to their
own.
Tongue In Cheek
The foregoing five are the
probable Pelican starters. Some
one said this week that KF coach
Don Peterson has said he is still
looking for a winning combina
tion. If so, the remark was
doubtless made with tongue in
cheek.
While concentrating on means
to stop Klamath, Nau's Comets
have not neglected offense and
are trying to improve their at
tack as they come along.
Nau said posible starters Fri
day are Dick Davis and John
Greb, forwards, Randy Camp
bell, center, and Joe Teeter and
Wayne Allen, guards. He indi
cated that Crater substitutions
will be made individually rather
than by platoon which were
used against Grants Pass.
Crater had a bye last week
end and rests the first three
days of the week were followed
by two days of light work. Drill
has been heavy this week.
Goyette Recovers
Nau reported that Don Goy
ette, who suffered a hip bruise
against Ashland three weeks
ago, is now back in form.
Only common foes for the
Pels and Crater have been in the
conference. Klamath has beaten
Ashland and Grants Pass each
twice and has split with Med
ford. The Comets have lost two
game series to each of the three.
Klamath goes into the two
games at CP with a 10-2 record
with both setbacks by only two
points. Crater is 4-8 for the
year.
Kimpton has rolled up 223
points for KF this season and
Moore 168.
Varsity games here will be at
8:15 p.m. after 6:45 p.m. jayvee
scuffles.
major college record of 40
straight. The mark will be
threatened tonight when Jackie
Murdock of Wake Forest, who
has canned 37 in a row, goes out
against Virginia.
Ricketts, brother of former
Duquesne All-American Dick
Ricketts, hit 10-for-10 on free
throws Wednesday night in a
71-67 victory over St. Francis
of Brooklyn and so his streak is
still "alive" for possible addi
tions when Duquesne plays
again next Monday against
Niagara.
Ricketts, who had 28 points
to take scoring honors for the
game, thus passed the old major
college mark of 38 straight free
throws set earlier this season by
Chet (The Jet) Forte of Columbia.

Beaver Coaches
Likely To Stay
Portland U.PJ Two top
assistant coaches of Oregon foot
ball teams appeared today to be
going to stay put rather than
land head coaching jobs in
which they had expressed inter
est earlier.
Clay Stapleton, first assistant
to Tommy Prothro at Oregon
State, said he had not made any
application for the job at Wyom
ing and was "sure" he would be
back with the Beavers next year.
Jack Roche, an assistant at
Oregon, said he had received a
routine query from the Univer
sity of Arizona and wasn't hope
ful of being selected for the
head coaching vacancy there.
Ken Lane Stops
Ryff in Sixth
Norfolk, Va. U.R) Light
weight contender Kenny Lane,
jubilant over his impressive
second victory against Frankie
Ryff in their return TV bout,
offered 875,000 today for a shot
at the title.
With his sixth-round TKO
over Ryff providing his 11th
straight win, the brown-haired
southpaw from Muskegon,
Mich., offered 575,000 for a de
fense by the victor in next
month's Joey Brown-Bud Smith
title fight at Miami Beach.
It was a logical offer because
of Lane's number two ranking
and because of the vast improve
ment he displayed against the
blond New Yorker before 3,610
in Municipal arena.
Ryff, weighing 139 pounds to
Kenny's 139'4, was slashed so
bloodily on the left brow that
Referee Paddy Mills stopped the
bout at 52 seconds of the sixth
session. In their previous bout,
Nov. 14 at Miami, Lane won a
unanimous decision.
Montreal (U.R) Right wing
Glen Cressman, called up from
the Montreal Royals Wednes
day, will be in the lineup for

Cressman will see service on the
Jean Beliveau-Bert Olmstead
line, replacing the injured
Bernie Geoffrion.

Knickerbockers
By UNITED PRESS
Rookie Willie Naulls, the New
York Knickerbockers' new
"bread and butter" player, is
earning his keep in the National
Basketball association, and bet
ter still he's making contenders
out of the Knicks in the Eastern
division.
Naulls, who came to New York
last month In exchange for
Slater Martin, connected for
baskets and three free throws
in the third period Wednesday
night to give the Knicks a lead
they never relinquished in beat
ing the Rochester Royals, 92-80.
The victory enabled New
York to open up a Vi game
second-place lead over the Phila
delphia Warriors and also cut
the Boston Celtics' first-place
lead to 6V4 games. Boston's win
ning streak was halted at eight
when the Syracuse Nationals
spurted in the final period to
gain a 119-116 victory.

Doubles' competition in the
