Central Point-Crater high's

shortstop and captain Louis
Alvarez back for limited serv
ice against Klamath Falls at
Klamath on Saturday after
noon. But, the Comets have a fur
ther injury problem plaguing
them as they prep for action
against the strong KF Peli
cans. ' ..
Loyal Higinbotham, regu
lar centerf ielder, a top hitter
on the club and fill-in at short
stop is on the crippled list.
He suffered a severe strain
below the knee when he slid
into . second base against
Grants Pass last Saturday and
missed three days of school,
this week. ;
Alvarez, who has been laid
up with an achilles tendon
injury, may start against the
Pelicans. Coach Bill Piche,
however, is- not anticipating
that the shortstop will go a
full seven innings. He'll like
ly switch Mike Glines from
third base to shortstop and
call Mike Pepper to play
third.
Pfaff to Pitch
Doug Pfaff is the probable
pitcher in the opener of the
doublebill and Ed Allen is to
be behind the plate for the
Comets with Jim Allen on
first base and Pat Pepper on
second. In the outfield it will
be Neil Rivenburg,- center,
Darryl, Summerfield, center,
and Jeff Anhorn, righf.
Either Mike Pepper or Sum
merfield is to hurl the second
game. If Pepper pitches, Piche
may have Glines back at
third and Steve Isaacs at
short. If Summerfield hurls,
Anhorn will move to left
field and Rivenburg to cen
ter. Don Pfaff would go into
right. .
