f j r I team to the state tournament in Salem and came
f lout with a second spot. And last fall Ramsey
I I J f ltook the Pelicans to win the state championship.
cTii. This is Ramsey's first year coaching at the
Klamath high school and he took over the Wild
cats for the first time to run twenty games with them and fall
down in only three of them. He was glad to handle a cage team
again.'
The Wildcats plaved all of th county schools twice with the
exception of Keno. They played them twice here and then ven
tured to Keno't small gym where they met with defeat by one
point.
They lost to Chiloquln in the first game but came back to
win over them in the second try. The First National quintet
came in to knock th Wildcats down for the third and final de
feat of the season with 30-24 score.
They traveled around and about playing Dorris and Tule
lake in California, and beating them easily. Ashland B squad was
beaten too, as was the Sacred Heart academy.
Eastman led with scoring honors for the complete season
with 156 points. Silva came in next with 119 points. Schortgen
third, with 105. The two guards came in, Ringsted with 76 and
Perkins for 63 tallies.
Substitutes included Biehn, Palmer, Ellis, Rainwater, Bes
sionetti, DeMain, Noel, Anchor, Macarbe, and White. The points
were distributed evenly among them.
The Wildcaii were mostly mad up of sophomores except
Silva and Palmer. Silva is a junior and Palmer Is a freshman.
Ramsey adds that Palmer is about the best prospect he has seen
in the freshman class for sometime and should blossom out to
be a peach of a player by the time he is a junior.
The local Wildcats pulled in 652 points to their 447, which
makes an average of 33.8 tallies for the season against their 22.3
for the opponents.
Fouls committed were 165 and the average per game was
down to a low eight.
Schortgen answered the roll call to the roughest eager with
the total of 39 fouls and was ejected out of three games. East
man came in second with 37 and tossed to the showers twice.
Perkins committed 24 and out of games twice. Orchids went to
Silva with only 10 and never was ejected on the foul rule. The
rest of the fouls were distributed among the rest of the cagers.
Schortgen and Eastman were exceptionally good on the back
board and this may explain the number of fouls on them.
Out of the group, Ramsey predicted, that about eight players
will be of use to the Pelican squad.
MAX MARVIN
Max Marvin did such a fine job handling the B league tourna
ment held at Altamont that he was requested to take charge of
the County B school track meet to be held around May 1. At
the same time' Paul Dellar, Klamath Union high school track
coach, invited the B schools to a track meet and pentathlon
meet to be held this spring. Dellar stated that a few schools out
side Klamath county would be invited due to travel restrictions.

Huskies To
Make Plans
For Trojans
Washington Will Meat the
University of Southern
California for Hoop Race
SEATTLE, March 8 W) The
University of Washington bas
ketball team turned to prepara
tions for its series this weekend
for the Pacific coast conference
basketball championship with
the University of Southern Cali
fornia, and to the watching of
Guard Bill Morris' injured knee.
Morris was hurt In the first
minute of play Saturday night
as Washington completed its
northern division coast confer
ence schedule with a 44-35 vic
tory over Oregon State. By win
ning from the same club Friday,
the Huskies had clinched the
title and the game only served to
end the season.
Coach Hec Edmundson expect
ed to know by tonight whether
Morris pulled a ligament in his
knee or simply strained it. If it
is the former, the second high
scorer of the northern division
and the sparkplug of the Husky
squad may be on the bench when
Washington and Southern Cali
fornia tangle in their crucial
games Friday and Saturday
night.
Morris wound up the season
with 180 points, only 12 points
below the former northern di
vision record of 192 held by Ray
Turner of Idaho, but completely
"off the beam" when compared
with the 224 points racked up
by Gail Bishop of Washington
State, which also completed its
schedule Saturday night, defeat
ing Idaho, 63 to 31.
With the season scoring record
already tucked away, Bishop ran
wild against Idaho in the final
game to score 23 points and
boost his mark to 32 points over
the previous high.
WSC led Idaho 29-16 at the
half and never was in danger at
any point.
The Washington-Oregon State
game, with both teams suffering
a let down from the previous
night's title-deciding fray, was a
ragged, wild-passing affair with
only the Washington defense
holding together. Washington
led 16 to 12 at the half.
LOS ANGELES, March 8 (IP)
The University of Southern Cali

day in San Francisco and Thurs
day in Seattle, where the Trojans
will meet Washington univers

Friday.
A second game with Washing

By FRED HAMPSON
Since undefeated basketball
teams are pretty much in the
same category as the dodo bird
extinct we asked Bob Lucas
of the Astorian Budget for his
thoughts about the current As
toria high quintet. The Fisher
men have just performed that
minor miracle of sports com
pleted a season (up to the state
tournament) without losing a
game.
Bob played basketball at OSC
and views the game with a
tutored eye. He says:
"Personally I don't think any
thing in Oregon can beat these
kids, unless they're caught short
on regulars or terribly off."
Even , allowing for a slight
prejudice and pride in the home
club, that's a strong warning to
the other hopefuls who will
gather shortly in Salem for the
state tournament.
Lucas elaborates:
"Astoria's team came along
slow, starting practice late. It
was hampered in the late sea
son by sickness which may have
a telling effect at the tourna
ment. It would be at a disad
vantage against a really tall
team, but it is the finest defens
ive team I've ever seen. The
boys scored 603 points, 39.06 per
game to 398 for their opponents
for a 22.1 average.
"You will note that Longview
was the only team to make more
than 30 points against Astoria.
"Our fans here in Astoria be
lieve the boys will win at
Salem, although Coach Wally
Palmberg will enter the armed
service at 6:30 p. m. on the
tournament's final night. We
think that if the Fishermen get
to the finals they'll be a cinch
the boys will be playing for their
beloved coach absent. You
know how kids will fight in a
situation like that."
We also asked Bob to recapitu
late the Astorians' glory season
and he writes:
"Astoria defeated Nascllo 27
20; Ilwaco 32-21; Camp Clatsop
46-14; Longview 51-22; Salem
26-17, 26-21,25-22 and 26-17; Sea
side 42-16; Ilwaco 26-22; Marsh
field 27-21 and 24-22; Tillamook
38-28 and 26-23; Nasellc 33-28;
Longview 44-41; Ncwberg 44-25
and 30-18."
This may striko you as some
thing of a record for close de
cisions without a defeat. Only
nine of the 18 games were by
margins that might be consid
ered comfortable while seven
games were nlp-and-tuck victor
ies. Bob continues: "Clifford Cran
cliii I, tall, slender senior, only
holdover regular from the 1042
champions, is the leading scorer
with 100 points in 16 games. He
was out of the two district cham
pionship games against Ncwberg
with mumps and still is not prac
ticing. He may have difficulty
getting in proper shape for the
tournumcnt. Crandall is decep
tive, loose-jolnled, a good close
in shot, one of the cleverest all
around men ever Been here.

"Happy Leo scored 88 points
