Harlem Globetrotters
Clash Yith All-Stars
Marines, Sailors, Fo
Greats Compose All-
Come Tuesday, January 30,
ihc famed Harlem Globetrotters
will clash with a Klamath all
star aggregation composed of the
first-string Leatherneck five, sev
eral players from the Klamath
naval air station, and Marion
Reginato and Bob Perkins, for
mer Pelican stars, on the KUHS
maple.
This tilt will be a spectacular
affair for Klamath sports fans.
The Globetrotters are basket
ball's No. 1 team of all time and
this is their 18th consecutive sea
son of play. The last 17 years
have seen them write a saga of
the hardwood unmatched for
brilliance. Their sen s a t i o n a 1
brand of play, superb showman
ship and sportsmanship are a by
word wherever basketball is
played.
The Globetrotters have amas
sed the amazing total of 2439 vic
tories, losing only 193 the last
17 years. They establish new rec
ords every time they play. Their
record is all the more outstand
ing when it is remembered that
they travel day in and day out

Even with rose colored glasses
it was a tough job for five
northern division. Pacific Coast
conference basketball teams to
see any sunshine today what
with their faces full of Web
foots and nobody seemingly
able to do anything about it.
Those Webfoots belonging
to the University of Oregon
were firmly planted on the top
rung of the division ladder after
pushing the University of Wash
ington Huskies all the way down
to third place over the weekend.
Oregon State, enjoying every
moment of it, was hoisted into
an uncontested seat in second
place as Oregon squeezed out
a 54-31 win over the Huskies
Saturday night after a runaway
Friday victory.
Washington State climbed to
a third-spot tie with Washing
ton by trouncing Idaho Friday
and Saturday, the last time by
43-37, at Pullman. WSC, the
only team to stop Oregon to
date, has no games left with
the pace makers.
But Oregon must give Wash
ington a chance for revenge this
week with Friday-Saturday tus
sels in Seattle. The Huskies,
anxious to rub out some of the
sting of that disastrous trip into
Oregon which cost four games
and bumped them out of first
place, will be fortified with the
naval trainees who are permit
ted to appear in home games.
Oregon State must stick out
its chin by treking into the
Palouse country this week to
meet WSC at Pullman Tuesday
and "Wednesday and Idaho at
Moscow Friday and Saturday.
rmer Pelican
Star Cage Squad
through all sorts of wintry
weather, play as many as eight
and nine games a week from car
lv November until late April,
never reject any team as too
strong an opponent, never scout
a team they are to face, find
time in every game to put on an
exhibition of their clean, humor
ous and laugh-provoking stunts
of showmanship and still man
age to win nearly every time out.
Further enhancing this illus
trious career, the nomads of bas
ketball always play on oppon
ents' floors and accept the Ut
ters choice of official without
question.
Without a peer in the field in
ball-handling, clever all-around
play, showmanship and star-studded
personnel, the present
Globetrotters bid fair to equal or
even surpass all their predeces
sors. They average over six feet
in height and are the pick of the
nation's outstanding colored
players, the list including Bernie
Price, Louis "Babe" Pressly,
Everett Marccll, Roscoe "Duke"
Cumberland, Lorenzo "Piper"
Davis, "Duck" Moore and Pedro
Boyd. Inman Jackson, great cen
ter and top ball handler of bas
ketball, is still with the team for
his 16th season, acting in an ad
visory capacity and occasional
utility man.
The Globetrotters won the
world professional tournament
staged at the Chicago Stadium in
the spring of 1940, and, off that
triumph, qualified to meet the
nation's College All-Stars at the
stadium in November of that
year in the first game of that
epic series. A world s record bas
ketball crowd of 22,000 thrilled
to the Globetro tters' stand
against the cream of the coun
try's top varsity cagers.
For the last two seasons the
Globetrotters have been invited
, to the Invitational International
Cup tournament staged at Mexi-j
co City, and each time walked
off with the championship in a
field studded with the best teams
of Latin-America.
It may be well to note that the
Trotters have been continuing to
play through the war years, de
spite hazardous travel conditions
and loss of key players to the
armed forces, as an aid to the
war effort, facing as many serv
ice teams as possible, making ap
pearances at many camps and
bases, and helping many funds
associated with the war effort.
So Klamath cage fans have a
real treat in store for them, when
the one and only Harlem Globe
trotters come to town tomorrow
night to battle the Klamath all
stars. Admission prices for this cage
classic will be students and mil
itary 40 cents and adults other
than military 75 cents.

Leathernecks Put Up Grcot
Battle Against Portland
Club; 2000 Pack Gym
By PAUL HAINES
Before an estimated attend
ance of close to 2000 fans, Shan
non's of Portland ovitscored the
Leathernecks from the Marino
Barracks, 68 to 60, in a thril
ling display of great basketball
Saturday night on the KUHS
maple, in the big "March of
Dimes" cage scrap.
It was the height domination
of Bill Osterhaus and Bob Bohl
man that tipped the scales in
Shannon's favor, as they con
trolled the backboard play
throughout the tussle despite
the valiant work of Marine
Center "Red" Gilbert and his
teammates. These boys, both
standing 6 feet, 6 Inches, played
great ball and racked up numer
ous points with tlp-ln shots.
All the players who partici
pated in the fracas played In
spired basketball in a game that
had the crowd cheering them
selves hoarse. After trailing all
the way, the Leathernecks pull
ed up to within two points of
the Portland club at 57 to 55
in the fourth canto, with swish
era by Cox and Mills providing
the spark.
The visiting firemen were not
to be denied, however, and
once more surged into the lead
with baskets by Bohlman, Cady,
and Osterhaus; With time run
nine out and Shannon's again
setting the pace; "Red" Gilbert
ran wild and sank two beauti
ful pivot shots in a row to
bring the final count to 68 to
60.
There is no doubt that Shan
non's is the classiest cage club
to perform here in some time,
but Coach Lea . Israel's boys
were in there scrapping all the
way, and the outcome of the
tilt was in doubt up until the
final seconds of the game.
Ray Pflugrad, ex -Oregon
State great, opened scoring after
only 20 seconds had elapsed in
the ball game with a lay-in shot.
Osterhaus potted a couple of
pivot shots and Shannon s was
off to a 6-0 lead.
A full five minutes had gone
by before Joe Domltrovlch came
through with the first marine
field goal - to make the count
6-2. "Red" Gilbert sank two
charity tosses, but Bob Bohl
man made a tip-in shot to bring
the score up to 8-4. Ed Meath
Eotted a two-pointer for the
oys from the Barracks and the
initial heat ended 14 to 8, with
Shannon's out in front.
In the second stanza, Domit
rovich again looped in the first
tally for the Leathernecks after
the Portland outfit had rolled
up eight counters to take a
comfortable lead of 22-10.
Gilbert 1 a y e d one in the
bucket and Money potted two
lay-in shots on a fast break and
the score stood at 35 to 28 at
the end of the first half.
To start the third frame, Pflu
grad slipped in the opening
bucket with a twisting overhead
shot, but Gilbert countered sec
onds later with a lay-in. Pflu
grad again broke loose with a
clever pivot shot and Mills
sank a tip-in . for the Leather
necks. Osterhaus flipped in
four gift heaves in a row when
Gilbert was charged with one
personal foul and two technicals
and the period ended 55 to 44,
with Shannon's accounting for
20 markers and the marines
picking up 16 tallies.
In the final quarter, the
Leathernecks outscored Shan
non's, 16 to 13, but. were unablo
to quite make up the differ
ence. John Cox, marine back
court man, opened hostilities by
sinking three swishcrs in a row
from far out that never touched
the rim and were in all the
way, This scoring spree made
the count 55 to 50, and Mills
added another followed again
by Cox to pull the Leathernecks
up to within two points of the
Portland club at 57-55,
Cady and Rankin proved they
were good boys to have around
In a pinch by hitting field goals,
along with Reynolds, clever
colored boy for Shannon's, and
the game ended with Gilbert
sinking two nivot shots for n
final score of 68 to 60.
Bohlman held hlch imrlnt
honors for the fray with 16
points, followed by Cady with
14 and Osterhaus with 12.
Domiirovlch paced the Leather
neck attack with 13 tallies and
Cox and Gilbert each nrrmmtprl
for 11.
In the preliminary tilt be
tween the Klamath naval air
station and a company team
from the Barracks, the sailors
sank their rivals, 58-45. This
was another thrill packed ball
game with the marines closing
In on their opponents several
times. The navv bovs unnrirH
whenever the marines were In
striking distance, however, nnrl
the boys from the Barracks were
never able to take the lead.
Jarrett was a one-man ball team
In himself, racking up 23 points
tor the victors, and Somskv
garnered 12 ringers for the
marines, followed by Ballow
with 10.
