Forrest Klr by, frosh coach who comea from Bandon and know the coast league' style or bas ketball, say all three of the team the Peli can will play are hard-driving, high (coring olubs. Coquille, the opponent for Thursday night, December 28, ha a good basketball crew to go along with It topnotch football team. Coach Dutch French will be running up against an old (choolmate when he take hi Pelican onto the CoqulU court. The coach of the coast town 1 Spike Leslie, a frater nity brother of French' at the University of Oregon and a former football star (or the Webfoot. Leslie use the same fast breaking type of basketball that French employ, giving prom ise of a tough scramble when -the two team get together.

He ha gathered in a total of 15 points to lead the eoorlng field. His big night was against Henley high, when a rang np It points. Next on the county B league coring list Is Harold Putnam, lanky Keno center, who has tal lied IS times to date. He piled up 17 points In the Keno-Malln game to get the highest single game total In the county .so far this season. Other county high scorers are Louis "Renn of Keno, with 18; Korria of Henley, with 17; Tay lor of Chiloquln, with 15. and Taylor's teammate, Horton, with io; - Out In the college casaba cir cuits Ted Sarpola, University of Oregon shotmaker, Is already attracting attention for high scoring. This Astoria star, a senior at Oregon this year, will probably pile up one of the highest point totals on the coast, and may come close to equaling Laddie Gale's mark of last year. Hobby Hobson, Oregon bas ketboss, describe Sarpola as the player with the "fast hands," who can shoot with one hand from any angle. He never takes two-handed chest shots. LOCALS WILL PLAY SERIES i WITH TOUGH SOUTIIERIIERS Eleven Pelican basketeers and Coach Dwlght French will invade the home court of the Chlco bas ketball team tonight tor the first of a two-game series with the Call fornia players. The second game will be played Friday night. With the same lineup that started the Yreka game last Friday night picked to open the contest, Coach French pronounced all his team members In good shape ex cept Ray Crane, who sprained an ankle during the week In practice, bui may be able to see action in the second game of the series. The starters will probably be the following: Forward Bill Rush. Forward Marion Reginato. Center Bob Erlandstra. Guard Byron Cody. G oArd George- Cooley. Other making the trip will be Crane, John Mathis, Harold Eit trelm, . guards; Arthur Martin, Eugene Love, forward, and Wes ley Loreni, center. The twelfth member of the squad, Virgil Jar- rett, who has been competing in the Golden Gloves boxing tourney. wul not make the trip due to his prolonged absence from practice and a questionable eligibility un til next term. The Chlco team, coached by Kaipn Hensley, uses a tight man' to-man defense and a fast driving; offense which Bhould produce a colorful game when the two quin tets come together. French's Peli cans depend on speed and drive to outrun opponents. Officials at Chico, where Chlco State college produces a high in terest in basketball among fans and players alike, are less strict in their foul-calling than in Klam ath Falls, according to word re ceived from Coach Hensley. The result should be an interesting crap ior in nam playing Peli can, who trounced Yreka 20-8 here last week In their first game or tne season. Following the Chico excursion the Pelicans will leave on a Christ mas tour into western Oregon for games with several coast teams. Th tour will start next Thursday ana on mat night the Pelicans will play Coquille. On Fridav and Saturday nights the locals will olav -norm sena ana Marshfleld to wind np the tour. The next home game will be played against Ashland. Fridav. January 5, and the following nttrht the Pelicans will take on Grants rass.

Coast Is Breeding Ground for Champs By JERRY BROXDFIELD SEA Service Sports Writer One of the most awesome col lections of mobile giants that any part of the country ever sent to the wars stamps the Pacific coast as the most likely breeding ground of the 1940 national collegiate basketball champion. ' There Isn't a weak sister on the golden slope. At least three teams must be rated among the nation's best in the early season estimates. Oregon, which won the N. C. A. A. title by beating Ohio State last winter, is making a strong bid to repeat, but should be pressed con siderably by Southern California and California.-! The latter two are said to have the greatest teams in their history. Oregon lost four of last season's regulars. Including all-America Laddie Gale, but the Webfeet have a wealth of material built around John Dick, rangy all-Far Western forward. . Dick, who Is expected to take over where Gale left off as offen sive spark, stands six feet four. He will team with Ted Sarpola, a six-foot one-inch two-year letter- man. Archie Marshik, six-foot seven inch sophomore, and Henry Ander son, a junior with the same alti tude, will handle the center job very nicely. Matt Pavalunas, a pigmy at five feet 11, Is one guard. The other is still being contested for by Porky Andrews and Toivo Pilppo, six-foot sophomores, and Vic Townsend, a six-foot junior college transfer. Offensively, Howard Hobson ex pects his club to be better than last season's. The Lemon-Yellow, again, using the driving, quick break, averaged better than 60 points in three warm-up games. Its tall and fleet operatives roar down the court at top speed . . . winging long passes all over the floor. Southern California, runner-up to California for the Pacific coast conference southern division crown, has four holdovers from Its crack quintet of last season. Ralph Vaughn, senior forward from Frankfort, Ind., is the prin cipal reason why the Trojans should go places. This six-foot southpaw trickster Is being boomed as a second Hank Lulsettl and already holds the coast scoring mark for a single game with 36 point against U. C. L. A. , The other forward Is Jack Mor rison, a senior who broke bis ankle as a sophomore, but who came back laBt winter to finish seventh in dlVision scoring. Dale Sears, six-foot two-Inch center, was good enough defen sively to make the all-dlvlsion team as a guard, but will deploy again in the jumping circle. Although Troy lost Gail Good rich by graduation, guards are no problem with Tom McUarvin, brilliant defensive ace and scoring threat, back at one post, and Jack Llppert, a lotterman a a sopho more last trip, at the other. California also ha four of It five regular of last season back In nnlform. Pacing the attack I six-foot five-inch Bill -Ogilvie. Everett Dean, Stanford coach, who has seen basketball all over the United States, say two of this big center's exhibitions last season rank with the finest he has ever witnessed. Capt. Walt Blckerton and Bill Blggerstaff are superlative guards who combine unusual shooting talent with air-tight defonsive play.

Cornell's Carl Snavely, Navy's "Swede" Larsen, Purdue's Mel El ward, and Indiana's Bo McMIUln are Just a few of the ''foreign" coaches who have appeared this winter as guest speakers at Ohio high school football banquets. Probably they are touring Just for the fun of It, but Snavely said at Canton: "The finest high school football In the country is played up here in northeastern Ohio.

BASIN HOOP STARS READY FOR CONTEST WITH OILERS Prepared to give the visiting Signal Oil eontingent plenty to worry about Saturday night at th armory, th Klamath Basin league All-Stars were waiting Im patiently Thursday for the Im pending basketball contest that would send their team against the touring quintet from Port land here this weekend. With three members of last y a r's championship Qienger team, Cliff McLean, Leonard VI vette and Ted Schopf, forming the nucleus of th local aggrega tion, the Klamath cage squad I expected to give the Invader a real battle. Capable assistance from Emll Strothelde, giant Wey erhaeuser pivot man, Lou Alello, fighting Molatore forward, and two First National Bank star, Howard Scroggln and Rusa Mai shall, will make the Basin team dangerous opponents for almost any hoop squad. Th All-Stars, playing their first game together last Friday against Pacific university at the armory, performed quit well but were outclassed by the better drilled collegians after leading In the scoring department practically all the way. With a few games the local court aces should he molded into a smooth-functioning unit that will give visiting basket ball crews all th competition they want. League officials have lined up aeveral top ranking out-of-town quintets that will com here throughout the winter cam paign. Saturday' clash should b especially Interesting from the spectators' standpoint because former team mates will be play ing opposite each other in the Signal Oll-Klamath engagement. McLean of the Basin team and the Oilers' Bill Courtney were paired at the guard positions on Coach Howard Hobson Southern Oregon Normal team several year ago when the Ashland school was turning out champion ship cage crews. Later Chuck Patterson, big negro center, tenmed with these two boys and t ither tbey transferred to Uni versity of Oregon a few seasons barjc to play as regulars on the Eugene five. Captain Bill Courtney, leader of the visitors, Is rated one of the best defensive players In the state today, even after several years as a top-flight Independent ca:aba star. Although two Inches under the six foot mark, Courtv ney Is a valuable backboard man. retrieving tbe ball with much the same adeptness that McLean is known to do. He collects bis share of the points during a con test, specializing in one-handed southpaw push shots. Chief scorer to date for the Oilers is Jay Holllngsworth, for mer basketball star from Oregon State. He has averaged 13 points for the 12 contests the Signal team has played thus far this winter. Art .Mcrryman and Roy Pflugrad. two more ex-Oregon Staters, are considered the two best ball handlers on the Port land team and both are con sistent scorers as well. Princeton Boy Given Spokane Club's Trophy LOS ANGELES, Dec. 21 (ff) The Round Table club of Spo kane, has named Don Herring, plucky Princeton university fool- ball player, as Its "outstanding sportsman of the year."

In This Corner By JACK Gl'K.NTIIKR United I'rt'M Raring tvlltor NKW YORK. Dee. 21 (U.PJ One of the favorite maxim of bank presidents and horse bettors Is that only two things In th world are certain. They are death and taxes, or, If you prefer, taxes and deifth. Iloth have withstood the test of time until their durability Is no longer a question. Hut today we'd like to nomin ate a third candidate for election Into this select circle of perfectly sure things. Our candidal also has withstood the time teat satis factorily. 11 has don more. Every year and every season he ha com back smarter end tronger and happier. We refer to that benign flar nura of th Bluegraas, Colonel Matt Winn. The colonel Is proven router. Million of gallons of Ohio river water hav flowed under the Louisville bridge slur the colonel enme to town. It' been 66 year since Winn, the boy, clung to his father' hand one spring day In 1876 and watched Utile Red Arlstldes scamper home In a new fangled race the tnwnfnlk were proudly calling the Kentucky derby. ' It's been almost 40 year since Winn, the man, took over the derby and Churchill Downs him self. That was In 19U1 and the race of th roses was still Just a neighboring picnic, little known outside of the far reaches of th dark and bloody ground. No th year I late 1939. Winn, 10 time a grandfather, la pushing the high 70s, but he's rolling along ns swiftly as ever as top. hand of 0110 of the greatest sport hows on earth, There has been much talk or late about "I'rnakness pressure" and a new high-power adminis tration at Belmont park and how th derby was on th way down. The colonel took care of that talk all by hlmsolf, A driver who wont through a sovor accldont whon he fell asleep at th whool said ho thought It was all a bnd riruam.
