Pel
icans
Chiefs, 28-25
Meeting real competition for the first time so far this season,
the Klamath Pelicans found the runaway scoring tactics of their
first two tilts stopped almost cold on the KUHS hardwood last
night by a determined Roseburg quintet, which fell only two
baskets short of a victory over the highly-touted Pels. Although
the game ended 25-28 in Klamath's favor, the K-men never led
by more than six points at any time during the game and were
behind five times in the first half.
Foul shots were a determining factor for both teams, tying
the score more than once. Only one player, from Roseburg, left
the floor via the foul route, however.
Roseburg dropped the first bucket of the game seconds after
the opening buuer sounded, only
I to have it covered by a tally by
bowling
