By DICK JEWETT
Mail Tribune Sporli Editor
McArthur Court, Univer
sity of Oregon, Eugene The
Klamath Union High school
Pelicans soared high today.
For they are the Oregon Class
A-l champs in basketball for
the second time in four years.
Leaders in unofficial prep
polls through the season, until
their claim was challenged
near the finish, the White
birds of Klamath Falls assert
ed their right to No. 1 billing
in the state here Saturday
night. They nipped a renitent,
aroused defending champion
in the finals of Oregon's an
nual big school tournament
and officialiy tucked away the
crown. '
In one of the great games
and thrillers in the 15 years
that McArthur court has been
the scene of INs state's big
gest prep athletic show, spar
kling Klamath edged out Med
ford's tremendous and obsti
nate Black Tornado 66 to 64
in a finale unprecedented be
cause it matched two South
ern Oregon conference teams.
Klamath's sharp and sturdy
stalwarts built good leads
twice during this titular strug
gle. But, the Hurricane of
Medford, a team which was
built around rash desire, per
sistence and ability, which
reached its crest at tourney
time, did not bow easily. It
came raging back dramatical
ly each time.. Only a Klamath
bucket in the last few seconds
and the final buzzer squelch
ed the Big Wind's dream a
so- 'd straight cage diadem
wlu.h would have been the
fourth in history for the
school.
Patike'i Lay up Wins -
The hoop pennant for Klam
ath Falls is its third. Others
were in 1043 and 1948.
Gary Patzke's easy layup
with five seconds left to play
settled the issue in Saturday's
championship battle. Some
how, Klamath's Pelicans, able
and worthy wearers of the
diadem, got Patzke wide open
under the hoop. He dumped
the points in unchallenged.
Medford made a final try to
score but it failed.
This was K Falls fourth win
this year over the Black Tor
nado. The three others were
in the Southern Oregon loop.
Medford's victory over the
Pelicans in their final league
engagement and the Tornado's
sizzling .triumphs, in three
tourney games here, neverthe
less, raised Medford's star in
the eyes of tournament goers.
Many felt the Whirlwind
would deplume the White
birds a second time in the Dis
trict 6 replay and retain the
mantle won last year. And the
Tornado almost did it. It did
keep KF from being an over
whelming decisive champ.
Yet, the two teams stood
above the rest.
. Bruce Brickner, 6-7 all-tourney
center, spurred the Pels
of Coach Dean White to tri
umph in the final with his
best game of the season. He
had 27 points and 15 re
bounds. His field goals held
off Medford In the stretch.
Yet, It was not Brickner
alone. It was a well-meshed
endeavor the rebounding
and clutch shooting of Patzke,
the key scoring of Hunsaker
and the early long range gun
ning and floor play of Fred
Biehn, Ray Taylor and Wally
Palmborg in a game that
was offensive-minded yet saw
some fine defense.
Medford, too, got more of
that sterling play which awed
fans through its every tour
ney game. First team all
staters Bob Quinney and Dick
Rogsdole had 21 and 18 re
spective pointr and Scott
Eaton, bulwark of the night,
totaled 15. These three Tor
nadocs put In all the Med
ford points until 37 were on
the board. Then, Jim Barry
came through to help carry
on the fight. .
Quick hand work by Rags
dale, Bnrry and Eaton gave
Coach Frank Roclandt's Mcd
fords steals and Interceptions
on defense. Steve Hoots team
ed with Quinney, Rogsdale,
Barry and Eaton in balanced
rebounding to match the Peli
cans on the boards.
Both clubs fired from the
field with scorching accu
racy, KF hitting .458 and Med
ford .448. The Tornado put in
more tree tosses, ii lo mo
Klamaths 10. But early misses
proved costly in the end as
did a few defensive lapses of
which the Pels took full ad
vantage.
And, it hurt Medford, also,
when 6-4 Quinney was tab
bed with his fourth foul and
sat out almost five minutes of
the third quarter. Medford
did not falter with him on
the bench. The Tornado virtu
ally held its own. But, with
him in the lineup there was
that possibility that the Rogue
valley quintet could have built
a margin to withstand Klam
ath's early fourth panel surge.
When tall Bob did return, he
had to take care to avoid a
game-banishing foul.
Controlled Jump
Klamath had Palmberg side
lined for about three minutes
of the third canto with four
infractions.
Patzke, a solid workhorse
through the campaign for
Klamath Falls, was the hero
of the final seconds in two
respects. He controlled a jump
ball that set up the victory
opportunity as well as putting
in the winning bucket.
With 50 seconds left and the
tilt tied at 64 all, Klamath
threw the ball away when a
long pass down court misfired.
Medford called time out. The
Tornado came out and played
ball control, waiting for the
opportunity for a sure shot.
A chance came but Bob Quin
hey's swing under the hoop
was just a bit hurried and
the ball barely missed going
into the ring with 17 seconds
left. Medford's Dick Ragsdale
and Patzke struggled for the
rebound and with 15 seconds
on the clock a held ball was
tooted.
Took Hunsaker Pass
Patzke tipped the ball to
Brickner and the Pe(s brought
it down the floor. With the
five seconds remaining, Kent
Hunsaker flipped the ball to
Patzke all alone under the
basket for an easy and decid
ing layup. What had failed for
Medford worked for Klamath
Falls.
Medford took time outt to
slop the clock with four sec
onds to play. Then, the Tor
nado brought the ball down
court hurriedly but Quinncy's
long layup at the buzzer failed
to find the range.
. Medford's stouthearted Tor
nadoes, who fought back with
ferver in the face of adversity,
were down eight points but
far from out with 5:10 remain
ing the scuffle.
Klamath Falls led 40 to 48
after a nip and tuck third pe
riod. Patzke opened the final
canto with a turning jumper.
Brickner put in a pair of foul
shots and next scored off a
long pass from Wally Palm
berg. The count was 55 to 48.
Bob Quinney meshed a driver
for Medford. Brickner, all
alone in the circle got a goal
and Palmberg's free heave
made It 58 to 50.
Knot Game at 62
At this stage, the title de
fenders, reluctant to yield the
crown, rallied forces with
Eaton, Ragsdale and Barry
coming through in style with
steals and interceptions. Rags
dale put in a rebound bucket
and, after KF's Brickner had
put back his own retrieve for
60 to 52, Ragsdale downed a
two-hand jump. Quinney ad
ded a long push bucket for
60 to 56 but Brickner offset
with a jump from the side.
Eaton tallied on Quinncy's as
sist, Quinney drilled a jump
from the top of the key and
Barry tabulated on a half
court drive off a Ragsdale
pass. That knotted the game
at 62 with 2:33 to play.
With 1:12 on the clock,
Brickner netted a hook five
feet from the ring. Fifty-seven
seconds showed when Quinney
hit a juniper from left fore
court. That made it 64 apiece.
Medford, trailing by seven
points at 7 to 13 with two min
utes to go in the first quarter,
pulled up even with the Pels
with Ha minutes left in the
half, jumped on top by half
time, then skirmished nip and
tuck with the Whiteblrds
through the third session of
the tangle.
Tornado Takes Lead
KF headed 14 to 10 as the
second stanza opened and
Brk'knor's rebound put his
crew six points til' the lead.
Medford's Dick Ragsdale and
the Pel's Ray Taylor ex
changed drivers for 18 to 12.
Scott Eaton giftercd for MHS.
Bob Quinney followed with a
driving bucket on a Ragsdale
feed. Eaton goaled off a weave
across the slot and the differ
ence was down to 18 to 17.
Tatzkc plunked a rebound
for the Klamaths. Quinney
countered with a brace of
