(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.

Pat Moses at center did a

whole Klamath quintet was be

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

aggregation, will open the
doubleheader program each eve

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.

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.
