SIX HERALD AND NEWS Friday, Fab. 16, 1945 Klamath Pelicans Collide With Grants Pass Tonight In Bid for Second Place iKiamaxn o In Top Shape For Tussle By PAUL HAINES fonight the Klamath Pelicans will trod the boards at the KUHS gymnasium with but one purpose in mind to unseat the Grants Pass Cavemen from their perch on the second limb of the conference tree. Coach Marble Cook has been hustling the Pelicans in strenu ous scrimmage sessions all week and the K-men have displayed plenty of giniger and drive. The Cavemen are riding a victory string of two straight taken at the expense of the hapless Ash land Grizzlies last weekend, but the Klamath kids are determin ed to partially avenge them selves for the two straight de feats they suffered at the hands of the Medford Black Tornado at the same time. Although the Pelicans are priming both barrels for the district tournament at Ashland normal February 23-24, they will not spare the horses to night and Saturday in an effort to take two straight from the Tugged Cavemen. Coach Cook will probably start the usual combination of Jim Palmer and Larry White at the forward berths. Jerry Thome at the keyhole slot, and Jim Noreen and Bud Biehn at the backcourt positions. Dean Mason, Joe Zarosinski, Bob Kedkey, and Bus Bussman will be available if any of the regu lars falter in the stretch. In the preliminary tussle, which gets underway at 7 p. m.. Coach Paul Angstead's Wildcats will collide with the Chiloquin Panthers. The Pelicans will of ficially wind up the conference season with this series . with Grants Pass and will be making every effort to bow out in a blaze of glory." Ridin' the Beam HAINES By PAUL HAINES UNFAIR The recent navy restriction calling for a complete investiga tion Into the discharge of any prominent atn lcte, movie star, or what have you, seems un fair to us. Why should people be sin gled out for spe c l a 1 investiga tion merely be cause they are, or have been, in the limelight? All soldiers, sailors or ma- posed to have the same treat ment under the selective service act. Because a professional ath lete returned to the game he plays for a livelihood after being discharged from the armed forc es, a storm of protest was forth coming. But, great snakes, there could nave been any number of things wrong with the man that made It impossible for him to remain in service. Some folks are abso lutely not mentally adapted to the type of life one must live in the armed forces. This is not a disgrace to the man, but merely a recognized medical fact. This order was admittedly is sued because the release, from the service of several nation ally, prominent people drew a storm -of criticism. To- put it bluntly, we think folks would do well to keep quiet until they know the facts! Off the record Doesn't seem possible spring baseball training will be starting next month. . . . How about a tennis tournament here in Klamath Falls this sum mer? . . . Bill Selkirk must have had a horseshoe in his pocket when he sank that hole-in-one Wednesday. . , .Should be some real baseball right here this sea son with the naval air station and the Marine Barracks. , . . They'll both field good teams. This ferocious Klamath Pelican is making a downward swoop with claws unsheathed at this trespassing Grants Pass Caveman. The Iwo learns will clash tonignt on the KUria maple in the' last conference series for the K-men. The Klamath five will strive desperately to chase the Cavemen off the reser vation and take undisputed possession of second place in the southern Oregon conference standings.
