Pelicans Lose Overtime
Tilt to Cavemen, 32-31
Lead Changes Four Times In Last Two
' Minutes; Lutr Free Throw Wins Game
Last night in a ball game
packed with thrills and sus
pense at Grants Pass, the Cave
men nosed out the Pelicans, 32
to 31, in a three-minute over
time. It was Luts' charity toss
with 15 seconds to go that pro
vided the margin of victory for
the Grants Pass quintet.
' The game was also extremely
rough with a total of 44 per
sonal fouls being called. Norcon
and Biehn were both lost to the
K-men via the foul route.
The lead changed hands four
times in the last two minutes
of the ball game in a tilt that
had the fans screaming them
selves hoarse. To add more ex
citment to the fray, Jim Palmer
had the misfortune to break his
glasses and was out a good
share of the game.
The score was Kuoucti mire
in the third canto and three
times in the fourth heat with

THIS IS IT
- Tonight will tell the story of
whether wc attain our goal of
S1000 for the "March of Dimes"
at the big cage tussle between
Shannon's, league-leading Port
land independent club, and the
Leathernecks from the Marine
Barracks.
. The box office
at the Klamath
Union high
school gymna
sium will be
open to accom
modate persons
who were un
able to pur
chase advance
tickets and
bltachers will
be set up on the
s,! d e s of the
flnnr to handle
the overflow from the gallery.
- We take this means of thank
' ing all KUHS officials for
thfir splendid coopiration in
assisting us in staging this
contest for tha polio fund and
we also express our gratitude
to Shannon's ball club for
-making tha trek from Port
land to Klamath town for expenses-only.
The cooperation of the Marine
Barracks in this fine ball game
for a finer cause has been won
derful and without the whole
hearted aid of Maj. Clyde C.
Roberts, executive officer, Capt.
William R. Ourand, post athle
tic officer, Col. George Van Or
den, commanding officer of the
Barracks, and the entire Leath
erneck basketball team, it would
have been impossible to give you
this contest tonight.
Our appreciation also goes
to the public relations depart
ment at the Barracks, which
rendered valuable service. We
hope for and expect a fine
crowd at this game and do not i
foel that we will be disappoint- i
ed.
The preliminary clash be-
tween the Klamath naval air sta-;
tion and a marine company team j
will get started at 7 p. m., with
the main battle slated to get un-'
derway at 8 p. m. i
' ine rea-not tut may make
sports history In Klamath
Falls from both the standpoint
of classy play and attendance.
But it's gettin' late we'll see
you at the ball game!
Klamath taking the lead by one
point with two minutes remain
ing in the tilt. The Cavemen
again deadlocked the fracas,
however, to send the game into
an overtime.
Grants Pass jumped off to an
early lead and had the Pelicans
down two markers at the end of
the first frame, 5-3. The Cave
men increased their lead by two
tallies in the second stanza and
held a 15-11 advantage at the
half.
The K-mcn turned on the
heat in the third period and
tied up the ball game 23-23 as
the Quarter ended. Both fives
racked up eight counters in the
final quarter and the thrilling
tussle ended dl-dl.
In the three-minute overtime
period, Lutz came through with
his timely free throw to give
the Cavemen a 6i-il victory.
This was the first win this year
for the Grants Pass cagers and
dropped the Pelicans into a cel
lar berth along with the Cave
men. Coach Marble Cook said last
night that the loss of Jerry
Thome was sorely felt and that
his added height would prob
ably have made the difference
between victory and defeat for
the Pelicans. The two rivals
clash again tonight on the
Grants Pass hardwood in the
final scuffle of their two-game
series.

Unheralded
Golfer Leads
Texas Open
By HAROLD V. RATLIFF
SAN ANTONIO, Tex.. Jan.
27 vjPi Unheralded and unmcn
tioncd except in the entry list,
Raymond Gafford of Fort
Worth, whipped up a faultless
66 to lead the Texas Open first
round, moving out with a field
of 143 today boasting a stroke
edge over favored Byron Nel
son. Ho never has won a tourna
ment and is a golf unknown ex
cept in his own bailiwick, but
Cafford's play in the opening
18 holes yesterday was the kind
the star-studded professional
troupe swinging along the win
ter trail could use.
He took only 32 putts and
wasn't over par on any hole as
he rolled out with a 32 and
in with a 34 to snatch away
what had appeared a safe lead
from Nelson when the Toledo
pro posted a 67.
Twcnty-one players bettered
or equaled par in yesterday's 18
holes with only two amateurs
in the group Frank Stranahan
of Toledo, now stationed at Max
well Field, Ala., who shot a 68
to tie Tex Consolver of Wichita,
Kans., for third place.

Last night in Gladiator's gul
ly. Gust Johnson eiinn within un
eyelash of thumping the "Grey
Mask" and put up one o the
gamest and greatest exhibitions
of rassling seen hero tor a long
time.
Gust came out of his corner
loaded for bear nt the start of
the scuffle and staggered tho
masked menace with a series of
powerful forearm blows. Mr.
Stoncfaco weathered the storm,
however, and look the first tum
ble with a step-over toe hold att-i
cr ho had felled Gust with oncj
of his savage head butts.
To open the third canto, John-1

lops that could be heard all over i
tnc armory as tney tanocci. ine
hooded hoodlum was rubber-legged
and s-lightly dazed when
Gust raised him up and crashed
him to the canvas with a full
body slam. He immediately ap
plied a body press to grab the
full and knot the count while
the crowd almost toro the roof
off with cheers.
In the fourth stanza, Johnson
missed a surfboard hold by a
whisker when the veiled var
mint crowlcd under the ropes
and out of the square. At this
point in the fracas, the "Mask'
once again fell back on his dread
ed cranium konks and then flung
Gust out of the ling.
When Johnson crawled back
through the strands, Mr. Stone
face was quick lo seize his ad
vantage and, with Gust dazed
and bleeding about the forehead,
again cracked his coucreto dome
against Johnson's skull, Gust
went down and the hooded heel
took the final fall and mntcn
with a body press while the fans
screamed at Referee Wally Moss
to "break it up"!
