Pigskin Finale
Br HALE SCARBROUGH
About a month ago we made
our selections for the many
bowl games and are sticking by
them though tho whole affair
crashes around our ears.
We picked Alubumu to wal
lop southern
Cat In the Rose
Bowl by two
touchdowns
14 points on
the contention
that, no matter
what anyone
thinks of south
eastern compe
tltlon, tho aver
mi
a a a team that
Alabamn play
ad this year
was Just as
good as tho uv-
me team
Southern Cul played and tho
Crimsons didn't run up 40 and
B0 points a game picking dais
ies. Also, though the Trojans
do have a huge bunch of line
men, SEC teams don't pack
their lines with foatherwolghts.
We also picked St. Mary's
aver Oklahoma A&M and It'll
be an upset If it comes out that
way. Bob Fenlmore Is a better
back than Herman Wedemeyor,
but only five touchdowns were
cored over Gaels this year and
you can't Ignore that. This cor
ner's other selections have Mis
souri over Texas, Holy Cross
aver Miami, Denver over New
Htxloo, Georgia over Tulsa,
Fresno State over Drake and
the East over tho West at San
Francisco.
The choice of Missouri" to
beat Texas Is probably a bum
steer as the Tigers lost to Min
nesota 34-0 and to Ohio State
47-6, but we still like 'em.
No guarantee goes with any
of these selections.
Those Pelicans
After last Saturday's game
there can be no doubt that the
Pelicans are getting to be a top
drawer high school basketball
team and may be on their way
to conference and possible state
recognition.
The first five, Jim Palmer,
Gene Hover, Leroy Coleman,
Ray Craig and Jerry Thorne,
comprises a r a n g y, fast and
clever passing and scoring com
bination capable of playing
four quarters ,at full speed and
that's how the Pels took Long
view into camp. After the first
few mltiiites of the third quar
ter the Lumberjacks wero run
ragged and the Pelicans sot
their own paco.
The only thing that kept tho
K-men from leading the game
U the way was terrible shoot
ing on charity passes.
Writing At Random
The reason the rassllng date
has been changed from Friday
to Tuesday is that Friday night
cards always conflict with high
school sports events , , . the
next bouts will be January 8.
Wally Moss Is - a lucky guy
... he got a ticket for a new
ear for Xmas . , . Art Vermont,
marine basketball star, got mar
ried for Xmas . . . Tho basin
cage loop Is still looking for a
leader . . . sponsors and teams
are no problem any longer, but
the rub comes In getting some
one to do the necessary work
of scheduling, arranging for
floor space, getting officials and
keeping books ...
And the biggest duck ' and
goose shooting of them all ends
at 4:35 p. m. today , . . not
many days after shotgun shells
began to be prominently dis
played on dealers' shelves.

Pels Topple
Longview
By 39-33
K-Mon Win In Walk
After Hoctic Half
On KUHS Hardwood
After the lead swapped hands
several times, the Pelicans
lumped on a tired Longview,
wash., quintet with both feet In
the third and fourth quarters to
win 30-33 and gong away Satur
day night on tho KUHS maple.
It was the Lumberjacks' only
defeat of their current southern
touc and their second loss of
the season.
The win put the Pels' record
at eight and one, Including four
wins In a row, and indicated that
the K-men may be of champion
ship caliber this year. Long
view had just beaten Roseburg,
Grants Pass and Mcdford.
Jim Palmer started Saturday
night's scoring by taking a re
bound off the Lumberjack back
board and dashing the length of
the court for a counter when the
game was just seconds old. Then
tho visitors' took over temporar
ily. Bob Gambold sank a free
throw, Gene Burke looped In a
goal, Dewey Doe got the next
one and Gordon Ferrell contri
buted a ringer, putting the
Lumberjacks ahead 7-2.
Palmer rang up two goals for
the Pels and Leroy Coleman
dropped one In to give the Pels
the lead, 8-7. Ferrell then hit
a couple, 11-8. Ferrell was the
fastest man on the floor, and
the Lumberjack defense tight
ened up to keep the Pelicans far
out on the floor. The quarter
ended 13-B for Longview.
A fellow named Jim Rosen
zweig entered the game at guard
for Longview and in three min
utes had pushed the score to
lu-iz. Liaie in tno second quart
er Colemaa, Ray Craig, Bill
Crawford and Palmer pitched
ringers and the half ended 21-
tA l.nmhiii-laflri1 fiufiP
The third 'and fourth periods
were - a Pelican party clear
through, with Palmer. Gene
Hover, Coleman, Craig and
Thorne all scoring. After push
ing the score into the thirties
and giving themselves a nice
lead,' the Pels managed to stall
for the last four minutes of the
game. Palmer and Doe went
out on fouls.
Palmer was again high man
for the K-men, getting 14 points,
and Coleman had 10. Ferrell
and Rosenzwelg had nine and
eight for the Lumberjacks.
