The Pelicans' handed Medford's Tigers a solid 20-point defeat, 57 to 37, in the game that clinched the southern Oregon championship. Playing before o full house at KUHS gym, Klamath was behind in the ball game only for o matter of seconds, and after three minutes of the first quarter had slipped by took a leod to hold ond expand. . To start everything off Bill Werner fouled big Jerry Thorn and the Pelican center laid in his one foul shot. Seconds loter - Clarence Bussman fouled Wer Chevs Lose AAU Contest PORTLAND, March 5 (1 Eugene, Salem, Portland's Club Mecca and Semler's Sports grabbed off semi-final berths in the Oregon AAU basketball tour nament last night in hard, fast games at the armory here. Eugene Lumber Sales had a narrow edge through most of its contest with Ashley Chevrolet of Klamath Falls and then in a scoring burst sewed up the vic tory, 51 to 42. Eugene led 10-4 at the first quarter but trailed 19-18 at the half. The lumber men recouped to snag a three point lead, 34-31, as the third frame ended and with four min utes to go were in front by only two points, 42-40. Then in a burst by E. Fox, Bobby Anet and Cal Bonney they shot ahead to the final. The Salem Page Woolens were never in trouble as they tumbled the Castle Rock, Wash., Ameri can Legion entry from the tour nament. 59-48. The Washington team, crippled by absence of big scoring Joe Moses, trailed all the way. - Portland's Club Mecca had to come from behind to overpower Tillamook. The Oregon coast team was ahead one point, 29-28, at the half but the Mecca team slowly chopped away and was in front, 52 to 48, at the end. . Semler's Sports unseated Day ton, 46 to 42, in the final game of the night- Fitzy Pressing For Lesnevich LOS ANGELES, March 5 P) Rough and tough Hilton (Fitzy) Fitzpa trick was in a better posi tion today to press his claim for m overweight match with Gus Lesnevich,. world light heavy weight champion, a bout which has been much talked -of here abouts lately. - Fitzy, Los Angeles 181-pound-er, won a unanimous, decision over Jack Hannon Porter, 175, youthful Oakland negro, in a torrid ten-rounder before 6500 at Olympic auditorium last night The crowd approved of the decision,.' all right but they didn't care much for Fitzpat-' rick's tactics in the ninth round. The ring was showered with newspapers and programs after Fitzy clipped Porter a solid one on the jaw as the latter was coming off the ropes. . ETBALL Rainier 54, St. Helens 43.

That was the only time the score was deadlocked.' Thorn then fouled Doug Cog hill and Cotjhill proceeded to put the Tigers in the lead, but Jerry whirled through with a fast bas ket, firs', of the game, and the Pelicans led, 3-2. Werner's time was ne tt and he drove in a two pointer from the right side of the Medford bucket to make it 4-3 for Medford. At that juncture Clarence Bustman dropped back at an angle and swished in the bas ket which put the Pels out front for good. Medford took time out to think it -over, but as soon as the clock started rolling again LeRoy Coleman dumped in a couple of his favorites from in front of the key circle. Score at the quarter was 15-6 but before that period ended the Pelicans pulled one bit of fren zied rebound-taking when they had eight shots at the hoop in a continuous mix before Coleman finally found the rim. A margin of 10 points, more or less, was held by the Pelicans through the second quarter and most of the third, and Medford took its fifth and final time out midway of the third period, just after the Pelicans had splurged on a couple of buckets and two foul shots. . Count at the close of the third period was 39 to 23. Opening the fourth canto the Tornado suddenly caught fire tor one of the few time dur ing the game. Joe Ches landed a two-pointer. Bill Singler fol lowed up with one and Joe . Chea caught the. Pelican de fense napoing for another, six points in less than a minute. The Pelicans took time out to let their rivals cool off and it apparently was an effective move. From then on out it was a matter of padding Klamath's lead up to the .final 20-point bulee. Bill Singler fouled out just before the game ended, the only player to leave the floor via the thumb route. One big factor in the Pelican win was dead foul toss shooting. Klamath completed 15 out of 22 in that department and. the Ti gers didn't do badly, 10 of 19. Klamath was charged with ' 16 fouls. Medford with 18. Fred Chez, .stocky captain of the Medford quintet was way off on his marksmanship, but-at that he led the Medford scoring with 11 points. Tom Mottern, center, who starred under the backboard for the Tigers, scored 10. On the Klamath side Cole man had 13 points. Thorn bad 12 and Bussmar nine. The two teams meet again to night at 8:15 in an anti-climax contest. In last night's prelim inary the Klamath Jayvees beat their Medford counterparts 46 to 20. . . Lineups and scoring: Klamath Poi.

Billy Weidner vs. Frankie Hart Cj '4 I 5 Round I I Ruben Grecia vs. Herb Parks 3 Rounds M Y Thursday, 8:30 p. m. V(Cy Pels Average 54.6 Poi nis Over Season One more game remains to be played before the Klamath Pelicans are done with district 4 basketball competition for the year, that with Medford tonight, but the pressure is off. Last night's win was all the Pels needed. So far this season Coach Wayne Scott's boys have played 27 games, both league and extra, winning 23 and los ing four. In those 27 contests the Pels have amassed a total of 1474 points, for an average of 54.6 per game, while their collec tive opponents have been ra tioned down to an 822 total or a 30.4 average. Those figures speak good for both the Klamath offense and defense. It shows that on the average the Pels have been a full 24 points better than their opponents, just as they were 20 points better than the Tigers last night On a comparative basis, the other Klamath county , team , which is seeking state honors, Chiloquin has played 24 games, won them all and run up 1085 points to 564 for the Panthers' combined opponents. . That makes an average of 45 per game for Chiloquin, 23.5 for the opposition, and Chilo quin has been almost 22 points per contest better than the opponents. So Klamath county has two teams to watch next week - the Pelicans at Eugene, the Panthers at Arlington. If fig ures mean anything, both of them should go a long way in their respective tournies. Walcott Eyes Heavy Crown MIAMI, Fla., March 5 (VP) New Jersey's Joe Walcott had an eye cocked today toward Joe Louis and the world heavyweight boxing crown.
