This is the lone skirmish of the week end for the Comets and they'll aim to make the most of it. Klamath treks to Ashland on Saturday. The Fireballs of Central Point (5-3 in the loop) have several reasons for wanting to succeed tonight. This their finest season in confer ence basketball and they want to complete it as well as they started, or better. Too, the Comets have yet to triumph on the Pelican court at Klanv ath Falls. And, it was Klam ath (6-2) which last week took over the lead alone with victory over Crater. The Pels and Comets have broken even in conference play. Crater took an overtime triumph over the Klamath club in the league's first round of play. Crater tonight will work at measures to hold down the Klamath scoring while aiming to shake open the Pels with some sizzling pointmaking of its own. Better rebounding than accomplished against the Pelicans last Saturday also will be sought. An ' objective will be to keep the Whitebirds from grabbing a wide margin at the start. Last week the Klamath ites jumped to 22 to 8 in the opening period. And, it was uSt a bit too much for the Comets to overcome. The rebounding challenge gain will provide for Crater combat, against greater height. For Pel Coach Al Keck is expected to have at least four six-footers on his starting five, while Fireballs' mentor Lloyd Hoffine will not have more than two that tall. Crater starters will be named from among Darryl Summerflcld, Lou Alvarez, Mike Gllnes, Pat Pepper, Howard Tomlinson and Paul Bransom with Summerflcld a sure choice. For Klamath 11 may be Fred Kellcy, Wayne Chamber- land, Dick Scott, Hal Holrnan and Grover Dohn or Terry Ash. Coacli Lloyd Hoffine re ported the Comets "went over lot of things yesterday afternoon, both by discussion and via walk-through drills. They also shot a lot.
