The Harlem Globetrotters
won their 83rd game of the sea
son last night on the KUHS
hardwood when they displayed
their usual versatility and su
perb ball handling to defeat a
team of Klamath All-Stars to the
tune of 58 to 41.
The Globetrotters, No. 1 bas
ketball team of all time, kept a
near-capacity crowd amused
throughout the contest with
their antics. The dusky basket
eers whipped the ball around
like it was a marble and looped
in buckets with ridiculous ease.
The All-Stars, which was com
posed of seven marines, two sail
ors, and one former Pelican star,
were definitely not on their
game. Whether they were over
awed by the prestige of their
dusky opponents or just off the
beam is a question, but they
were off, nevertheless.

QUOTE-UNQUOTE
We have recently become the
recipients of a clipping, telling
of the fistic prowess of Bob
Ross Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs.
Bob Ross of
Klamath Falls,
who is now sta
tioned at Shep
pard field, Tex.
It seems that
no one at Shep
pard field cared
to swap leather
with one Lou
V e r d i n elli, a
right hand slug
ger who claims
two ring victor
ies: over Fritzie
Zivic and is better known in
Cauliflower row as Al Verdi.
Ross finally took up the
challenge of the highly touted
mauler despite numerous
warnings of Verdi's boxing
ability and his dangerous right
which racked a kick like a
mule. .
Here is what appeared in
the Sheppard field paper
in a column entitled "78th
AAFBU" by C?l. H. D. Col
son. "Incredible as it may
seem, Ross flabbergasted
everyone, including Verdinel
li, by displaying a brand of
speed and agility' with his
fists and feet that won a unani
mous decision and the plaudits
of everyone in the house."
"Let there be no mistake.
'Verdi' lost no prestige. He still
packs dynamite in that right
glove, but Ross' lightning jabs
and right hooks and clever foot
work had 'Verdi' swinging at the
breeze."
Young Bob boxed up here
at Klamath Union high school
and graduated in 1940. We con
gratulate him for his fine win
and may there be many more
of them.
Boxing Clubs Send

SEATTLE, Jan. 31 (P) Box

British Columbia and Portland's
Multnomah club are planning to
send entrants to the 1945 Pacific

and eventually mio uie ouckci.
The Globetrotters ran up a 16
to 5 lead at the end of the first
heat without exerting them
selves and then coasted through
the second canto to hold a 32
to 18 advantage at the end of
the half.
In the third frame the world
travelers racked up 21 points,
while the most the All-Stars
could garner was 16 tallies, to
hold a comiortaDie ieaa oi oa to
34.
It was in the final stanza that
the colored lads cut loose with
the circus basketball that has
made them famous. They passed
the ball behind their back,
through their legs, and put cn
glish on their bounce passes that
would have made Willie Hoppe
look twice.
They collected only 5 markers
in this period while the All-Stars
accounted for 7. but easily won
the ball game, 58 to 41.
Price potted 21 points for the
Globetrotters to take top scor
ing honors for the evening and
Cook accounted for nine points
to lead the All-Star offensive.

Paul Angstead's Wildcats poured
it on the Kcno "Townies" 44 to

the Wildcats in scoring with

Keno lads by copping the high
scoring toga for the game with
10 ringers.

Dusette Rassles
Tarzan Potvin
In Opening Bout
Georges Dusette, a newcomer
to the northwest mat circuit,
will make his mat debut in
Klamath Falls Friday night
when he takes on Tarzan Potvin
of Canada in the opener.
Not a great deal is known of
the Frenchman, but he is reputed
to be a rasslor of no mean abil
ity. Potvin butted biceps once
before in the Klamath arena and
was defeated.
This bout rounds out a top
card that sends Tough Tony
Ross against the "Grey Mask" in
the headline event and pits Pete
Belcastro, the Weed assassin,
against "Blood and Guts" David
son in the semi-windup.

by the admission of five Brook
lyn college players they had ac
cepted $1,000 to throw a game,
pondered anew today methods
of combatting widespread gam
bling on games that one source
estimated ran as high as $10,
000,000 weekly.
Leaders of the Indoor
sport, from Ned Irish, promoter
of the doubleheaders at Madison
Square Garden, to Wilbur C.
Smith, president of the Nation
al' Collegiate Athletic associa
tion, asserted that the action of
the five Brooklyn players in no
way typified the attitude of the
college athlete in general. Smith
called upon the "every-day fan,
who is in no way to be confused
with the professional gamblers,
to help us by not betting on col
lege athletics."
Meantime, a Kings county
grand jury called into a rare
night session by Judge Samuel
S. Leibowitz, heard testimony
from the five players, Bernard
Barnett, Larry Pearlstein, Rob
ert Leder, Jerry Green and Stan
ley Simon; their coach, Morris
Raskin; police and Assistant Dis
trict Attorneys Edward Hcffcr-
nan and Louis Andrcozzi. The
jury concluded its sessions short
ly before midnight and was ex
pected to hand up its findings to
Judge Leibowitz some time to
day.
Judge Leibowitz, in instruc-
ing the grand jury to "hand up
any indictments necessary." de
clared "To corrupt a college boy
is to destroy mm in nis lorma
tive years. When these vermin
stretch their filthy paws into our
college halls they pollute the
flower' of our country's youth
and they have got to be de
stroyed. Take forthright action.
Smash these barnacles and
smash them hard."
The disclosure of the scandal,
likened to baseball's Chicago
black sox of the 1919 world se
ries, broke suddenly late Mon
day night with the arrest of
Harry Rosen and Harvey Stcm
mer on charges of conspiracy.
The players, later dropped
from the Brooklyn squad, signed
a statement they received $1,000
from Stemmer to throw the Ak
ron game originally scheduled
for tonight in Boston.
Stemmer, described lis a gam
bler, was held in 82,500 bail for
a further hearing Fob. 5. Rosen
was arraigned in Manhattan on
another charge. TI'- D. A.'s of
fice said he would i arraigned
later on a conspiracy count.
Brooklyn college authorities
said that with the exception of
the Akron game, which was can
celled, the team would play the
remainder of its games as best it
could with the otiier members of
the squad who were not involved.

Chase Beaver Five, 46-31
PULLMAN, Jan. 31 (Pj The
Northern Division, Pacific
coast conference basketball om
elet got another stirring last
night and the Wcbfoots of Ore
gon awoke this morning to find
a new challenger chasing them
around the division frying pan.
Washington State college,
trimming Oregon State 46 to
31, bounced the Beavers down
to a third-place tie with Wash

weekend by their victims.

Possibly recalling the double
trimming they took from the
Beavers in Corvallis, the WSC
Cougars started their victory
march when the game was only
a few minutes old, moving from
a 6-all tic to a 22-12 halftime
lead and coasting to the final
whistle without being danger
ously threatened.
Vince Hansen, the Cougar
center, strengthened his . clutch
on top rung in the individual
scoring race with 14 points,
boosting his conference total to
127 tallies for nine games and
spreading his lead over Ore
gon's Dick Wilklns to 17 points.
George Hamilton, Cougar
guard, bucketed another 14 to
share the evening's honors with
Hansen, but WSC clamped a
tight defense on- Oregon State's
leading scorers, holding George
Sertic and Ted Henningsen to
six and the rest of the Beavers
to less. Red Rocha, who ran
wild against Washington last
week, connected for only five
points. - .
A peck at the standings to
day showed Oregon ahead by
two full games, with seven vic
tories and two defeats, and the
Webfoots arc safe until they
clash with Washington at Seat
tle Friday and Saturday. WSC
had five wins and four losses,
and Oregon State and Washing
ton were teetering on the per
centage fence with four and
