URG 34-19 mm mm NT DRUBS ROSEB nl (NDIANS JUST SO-SO After Friday night'i slaugh ter at the local gym, we're won dering lust how much credence to give early aeason reports that drifted out of Roseburg about the power and class of Jim Watt'i gigantic Indians. Either the Indians have been overrated and too much em phasis placed on their height, or Klamath Falls this season has the best bunch of ball play ers produced around here in a long long time. 4 ;:( Klamath the Rose burg team looked almost help less. From tne Stan me rai cans controlled the backboards a-.m htr height disadvan tage, and had they been able to hit their hats during the first two periods, Klamatn woum ! nm nn a huse score. It took the Pelicans two pe riods to find their stride. After that they literally ran the boys from across the mountains raw the boards. T t op DRIVE Pat Moses at center did a v,.m.iin fob of defense, and the whole Klamath quintet was be hind, under and arouno. we In dians' huge center, 6-foot 7-inch Royal Denton. Finlay at guard and Wiard at forward were the only two Indians who showed ball-handling ability. The others were Just tall. The.

Thanks to his series of hemp- swlshers late in the game, uoc chl was the star of the encoun ter hut onlv in the scor ing department.

Ashland and Grants Pass to the Umpqua city. That -will nrovide a Kood basis lor comparison, but here's some thins to eo on already: Dunsmuir, victims of the Pel icans 28-18 last week, defeated Grants Pass Friday night 25-20. Chief amone the Roseburg claims to fame is their recent four-point victory over Roose velt high of rortiana, a ream which defeated Lincoln earlier in the year. Dairymen Will Meet Lakeview Lost River Dairy hoopsters, victors over Rickys' Jewelers by a slim 24-23 margin Friday night at the high school in a preliminary contest to the KUHS-Roseburg tilt, plan an in vasion of Lakeview next Friday and Saturday nights to engage Coach Earl Vossen's high school quintet. With practically the same lineup that opposed the Lake view club last winter when Klamath High met the Lake county outfit, the Dairymen hope to give the well-drilled prepsters a real battle. Coach Clyde Walsh of the Lost River five says that the Flower Basket squad, also a Klamath hoop aggregation, will open the doubleheader program each eve ning against the Lakeview sec ond team. George Cooley, Byron Cody, Harold Eittreim and. John Mathis all regulars on the .KUHS squad last winter, form the nucleus of the Lost River club that at present holds fourth spot in the Klamath Commer cial league with two victories in three games. Bill Mayhew and Rex Higbee, also former Pelican court performers, to gether with George Gray, ex Marysville high basketball star, will also make the trip to Lakeview for the Dairymen, ac cording to Walsh. Cornhusker Hoop Quint Comes West LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 21 (IP) Nebraska's basketball squad moves west Saturday night on the heels of the Cornhusker football team, opponent of Stan ford in the Rose Bowl game. The basketball squad 11 In number will play California at Berkeley Dec. 26, Stanford at Palo Alto Dec. 27, and Oregon State at Corvallls, Dec. 30, and on New Year's day will watch the Rose owl game. .- Locals Rout Highly-Rated Indian Team leeehl Pact Scoring , With 12; Klojitattiltet Overcome Height Edqe By BILL CUMMINGS Every basket spurred a hard- driving Klamath Falls hoop quintet to a faster pace last night at the high school gym as Dutch French's well-baltinced Pelican giant killers routed the highly-touted Roseburg Indians 34-18. Never headed except by a con verted foul shot that opened the scoring, the Klamathites over came a disadvantage in height of nearly two inches per man and completely outclassed the visitors. Bocchl Gets Hot The Pelicans bottled up Royal Denton, Roseburg center who stands 6 feet 7 inches and is rated the tallest prep basketeer on the coast. He failed to control the backboards and didn't score a point. Jim Bocchl, guard, got hot as a blowtorch in the second half and sent six consecutive field goals swishing through the hemp to grab scoring honors for the game with 12 points. He was followed by Jim Fin lay, standout guard of the visit ing squad, who looped in four field goals and a foul shot for 9. Bob Erlandson, veteran Pell can forward and captain, con nected with three one-handed pivot shots and a cripple for 8. Both teams started slow. Rose burg chalked up the first counter when Wiard, rangy forward, looped in a free toss. Then Mar ion Reginato, Klamath forward, potted a field goal midway in the first quarter to start the Peli cans' scoring and give the locals a lead which was never lost. Both Teams Wild Both teams missed dozens of setups during the opening min utes and Klamath, keeping an amazing control over the ball despite their handicap in size, was particularly sloppy in scor ing early in the contest. Only one more basket was tallied during the first quarter, giving Klamath a 3-1 edge at the end of the first period. Scoring gradually picked up as the game progressed but at halftime the scoreboard still read like the tally sheet at a baseball game. Klamath led at the midway point by only 9 to 5. Roseburg's only field goal during the first half was scored in the second quarter by Neil Schrimpf, guard. After the rest period Bocchl, who failed to score during the first two periods, found the range and looped in baskets on "unconscious" shots. It was largely his fast ball handling and uncanny shotmak ing that speeded up the pace of the game in this quarter and gave Klamath a 22-13 margin at the close of the third stanza. Bocchi accounted for most of this scoring with five filed goals. Big Royal Denton committed his third personal foul midway in the third period and Coach Jim Watts replaced him with Larry Anderson. The game was a rout during the closing minutes, with Klam ath running the legs off the big fellows from the Umpqua val ley. Denton went back into the game, but neither the Indians' height nor the clever ball handling of Finlay, their high scorer, was enough to stop the drive of the now red-hot Klam athites. Erlandson swished the net with a couple of one-handed pivot shots to spark the last minute scoring. Bocchi took a long pass under his own back board to score without interfer ence, and Erlandson was also all alone when he looped in his final tally. Eugene Love, guard, ended the scoring Just before the final gun by sinking a foul shot to bring Klamath's winning mar gin to 16 points. , , French substituted only once for his starting five, sending in Swanson for a short time at guard.

Draw 16.000 See Non-Title Garden Go Welter King Forced To Uie lack-Alley Tactics In Even freak With Texan By JACK CUDDY NEW YORK. Dec. 21 (UP) Welterweight Champion Fritzle Zlvlc and Lightweight Champ Lew Jenkins battled through 10 rough rounds to a draw Friday night before 10,000 fnns at Mndl son Square garden. Zlvic, the "good big man," was forced to use a lot of back' alley tactics to hammer through to the even break aiiiiinst Jen kins, the "good little mini." Showing Redeemed Jenkins gave one o( tho great est performances of his career and proved beyond question that he is a dead game guy. Mo weathered severe battering to the head In clinches and then came back time after time to stagger his larger opponent with savage smashes to body and chin. Jenkins' performance in the non-title tilt redeemed his poor showing against Former Welterweight Champion Henry Armstrong. July 17. when Texas Lew suffered a technical knock out. His performance was all the more remarkable because Zivic had wrested the welter title from Armstrong on Octo ber 4. It was a sec-saw fight that wound up so even the three offi cials cast three different ballots, resulting in the draw. Referee George Walsh voted for Jenkins; Judge Steve Hamas for a drow, and Judge Charley Draycult for Zivic. No Knockdowns The United Press scoring gave Zivic five rounds, Jenkins four and ono even. Although this was a meeting of two of the rings hardest punchers, there wasn't a knock down in the bout. Jenkins, who scaled 1351 pounds seven and a quarter less than the welter ruler wound up bleeding from both eyes and from the bridge of his nose, where Zlvlc had cuffed him in the clinches.
