A glittering lineup ot Klamath

tonight's basketball game with
the barnstorming negro Harlem
Globetrotters at the Klamath
Union High school gym at 8
o'clock. But the boys will have
to glitter to come even close to
the 1940 world's champions.
Named to starting posts with
tho local quintet were Ernie
Bishop and Paul Crapo at
guards. Big Joe Bcllottl at
center, and Harold Putnam and
Wayne Scott at forwards. Earl
Sanders, Chct Amerllng, Pat
Moses, Russ Marshall and Earl
Congleton complete tho squad.
Tho Trotters are expected to
call on any or all of seven mem
bers all of whom are close to
the best in the game. The seven
are as good or better than their
antecedents who in 14 years
have piled up a record of 2022
wins and only 146 losses.
A large crowd is expected to
throng the KUHS gym to watch
the Trotters who are famed for
their showmanship as well as
their cage talent. The darkies
will bring their usual bag of
tricks which has kept audiences
in stitches from coast to coast.
Leading off at seven o'clock
the Klamath Pelicans will tangle

The Angels, paced by Leo

from the start. Previous Mt.
Angel victims in the three-day
tournament were Central Catho

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2 m
Stanford university will try
very hard this week to renew

ship, and from the manner in
which negotiations have prog'
ressed, it appears the effort may
be rewarded with success.
Stanford will receive South

day and Saturday nights. If the
Indians win both evenings, they
will have emerged in triumph
from the first five starts of their
12-game conference schedule
and thus have become virtually
Inapproachable.
If they split, they still will
top the Trojans in the stand
ings by a comfortable margin
4-1 to 3-2.

Tillic Kagcl bowls In an In
dianapolis Optical league, which
may or may not have something
to do with her hook ball find
ing the pins.
Miss Kugel. a 25-yeor-old
blonde, established a national
record for women this season by
rolling a 756 total. Her games
were 256, 233 and 267.
She made only one error
when she left up the 3-pin on
the 3-6-10 set-up. She strung
up seven straight strikes In the
first game, six in a row in the
second, and had strings of four
and five in the final. She had
23 strikes and eight spares.
A week previous, Miss Kagcl .
manufactured a 756 total in
open bowling in a different es
tablishment. The men's high
for Indianapolis is 754. Miss
Kagel holds a 190 average in
her league. i
Here are other remarkable ;
league three-game totals recog
nized by the Women's Interna-1
tional Bowling congress: Joan!
Radtkin, Cleveland, 775; Flor
ence Schlcnk, St. Louis, 765;
Margaret S 1 o g a r, Cleveland,
759, and Mary Sanger, Omaha,
756.
The women well Illustrate the
fact that it pays to give the ball
time to work among the pins.
Thousands of leagues will dis
tribute defense bonds and sav
ings stamps as prizes at the end
of the season instead of cash.
The move is entirely i the
hands of each individual circuit,
and sprang up spontaneously in
more than 500 cities and towns.
The American Bowling con
gress purchased $15,000 worth
of defense bonds the first week
of the war, the Chicago Bowling
association $7500, the Milwau
kee group $4000.
With many city associations
and hundreds of other wheels
certain to follow the patriotic
pattern, several millions of dol
lars will be diverted to war pur
poses. Strikes to spare: Johnny
Crimmins of Detroit went
through a Chicago charity tour
nament at a terrific pace. . . .
Rolling against new pins and
across 10 newly constructed al
leys in each of the 15 blocks of
five games, Crimmins averaged
207 for 75 games. . . . The Forgs

Cox Leads Pelicans in
Victory Hare Saturday
Tho Klamath Union high
school Pelicans defcuted the
Grants Pass Cavemen, 36-30 on
tho Klamath high court Saturday
night but hud to fight off a de
termined Caveman rally tu do
It. It was a measure u( roveugo
for the Pelicans who lust on the
Grants Pass court, 21-32 on Jan
uary 2.
It was a hard uinl evenly
fought mutch all tho way despite
tho (net thut the Pelicans took
tho lead early in tho second
quarter und hold It to tho end
except (or tho brief period In the
final frame when Grunts Pass
marked up a one-point lend.
Both teams were tired from stiff
games the night before anil
neither outfit could bucket much j
moro than 20 per cent of Its j
shots. !
The game was three minutes 1
old before either team could con-
neet and Klamath's 5-4 margin '
didn't promise much as the first
period ended. In tho second
quarter, however, Boechl began
to find tho rango and the Peli
cans forged ahead to 16-S at
the half.
In tho third quarter the Klam
ath boys built up their margin
to 11 points and it looked as if
the game were on Ico until lluv
urd, Caveman guard, hit his
stride. With four field goals, all
his points for the entire game,
Havard touched off a rally that
whittled tho Pelican lead to a
mere point just before Cox sank
one to pull the Klamath score
up to 27-24 at tho bell.
Tho Cavemen continued to
pour It on as tho final period
started and tho crowd woke up
to the fact that It had a bull
game on its hands. Inspired by
the cheers thut rocked tho ran
ters when Brostorhous scared a
free throw and evened up a one
point deficit, the Pelicans took
charge and counted four strulght
goals to sew up the gumc. No
Pelican team ever looked better
than these in tho couple of min
utes it took to blast tho Cave
men's drive. Grants Pass called
two timeouts and finally sent In
four fresh men, but to no avail.
Cox, the Klamath center, top
ped the scoring with 10 points,
pressed closely by Brostcrhous,
a Pelican substitute, with nine.
Havard's eight points In the
third period earned him a tie
with Gray for Grants Pass scor
ing honors.
The Pelicans sank 14 out of
65 shots and eight out of ten
free throws while Grants Pass
hit 12 out of 62 and six out of
10, respectively.
