Pelicans Defeat!1
iebcomiomi 63-57
Eugene Next Hurdle For Local Team
By HALE SCARBROUGH
McARTHUR COURT, Eugene, March 13 The Klamath Pelicans and Lebanon War
riors virtually stole the show in the opening round of the state basketball tourney here lost
night, and it wos the Pelicans who finally came out on top of a ding-dong last-ditch battle,
63 to' 57.
By that win Klamath earned the right to meet the Eugene Axemen tonight at 8:45.
Eugene was not particularly impressive in a 44 to 36 win over La Grande.
The Pelican game wasn't in the bog until just a bare two minutes remained to be
played in the final quarter. At that juncture Klamath was ahead, 57-56, and trying des
perately to fend off a rising Lebanon roily.
Joe Zarosinsky hod o couple of free throws coming and missed them both, but Cene
Hoover lurking under the bosket, pushed the lost one in for two points, and a moment later
Cene rammed in a cripple for two more ond broke up the game.
Ray Craig added a push shot to finish the Pelican scoring, and Lebanon managed a
10rk on frro throws
KUUJC .......... - , , .
before the final gun, but dicln t . ba tournament, just like last
threaten again.
No more than six or seven
points ever separated the two
iranu ciurine the game, al-
ihnimh the Pels started out to
make it runaway they
cored five times their first
five shots, but then tightened
up and couldn't hit for a nickel
until Lebanon had tied the
score at 14-H. Quarter count
was 16-15 for Klamath.
The Warriors almost ran
way with the game in the sec
ond quarter and Coach Wayne
Scott, mass-substituting, had to
wave in his first-string stal
warts to plug the gaps. Even
at that Lebanon was in the lead
most of the ' way but had
dropped off to 35-31 deficit at
halftime.
In that hectic first half the
lead had changed hands seven
times, and Lebanon was keep
ing on even terms with the Pels
with unerring foul line work
10 ringers in 12 tries.
Big Jerry Thorn was the big
gun for the Pels during that
half, controlling most of the re
bounds off both backboards.
Lebanon never quite grabbed
the lead in the second half, al
though they managed to knot
the count at ' 35-35 and again
at 37-37. A one to three-point
lead was all the Pels could
ever see on the scoreboard,
though, and it was a struggle
to keep that. '
After the four-minute time
out in the last period, the War
riors started pounding up for
one last try. Tall Paul Alley
hooked in a pair, of long shots
to set the stage' for Hoover's
game-breaking tip-in and follow-up
score.
Alley, playing center, was
the scoring star of the game,
rolling up a total of 19, and
speedy Jack Evans hit 16. For
the Pels Hoover . counted 16.
times and Thorn 11, although
he fouled out early in the third
quarter at a time when his ab
sence made things look pretty
black for Klamath. Ray Craig,
who replaced Thorn, scored six,
Joe Zarosinski 10, LeRoy Cole
man; eight, and Clarence Buss
man, eight.
Apparent strong boy of the
tourney thus far is Salem, in
the same bracket with Klam
ath. The Vikings, who hold one
short decision over the Pels
this season, stormed to a 63-35
win over Roosevelt high of
Portland.
If the Pels get by Eugene to
night and Salem beats New
berg, then Klamath and Salem
will meet Friday night.-Looks
like a rocky road ahead for the
Pelicans.

year when Eugene nosed out
the Portlanders for the title.
There are. however, six other
teams Hood River, Marshfield,
Sandy, Salem, Newberg and
Klamath Falls who survived
the first round of play, and
many of the 5500 on hand last
nieht liked Klamath Falls and
Salem, both in Eugene's bracket.
Klamath Falls, in fact, will
give the acid test to the defend
ing champions tonight. The
high-geared Pelicans ran into a
stubborn Lebanon team last
night, but pulled out with three
quick baskets in the closing min-,
utes for a 63-57 win. '
The point total was just one
short of the record 121 scored
by Springfield and Oregon City
in 1944. Klamath's winning
baskets were made by Gene
Hoover, Bob Redkey and Ray
Craig. Hoover was high for the
Pelicans with 18 points. Paul
Alley of Lebanon had 19.
Salem, winner of the Big Six
league, and victor over Eugene
in an earlier meeting, walloped
Roosevelt of Portland, 63-35.
and qualified for a game against
Newberg tonight. Roosevelt, a
highly regarded team, gave
Salem scarcely any trouble. Cen
ter Bill Hill led the victors with
16 points.
Newberg came from behind
an 11-9 first quarter score to
defeat Hillsboro, 48-29. John
Hoy led the Newberg scoring
with 19 points.
Eugene's win was a 44-36 af
fair over a strong La Grande
team. La Grande was within
striking distance throughout the !
contest, but Eugene's slick ball-
nandung was not to be match
ed.
In other games Marshfield
high of Coos Bay romped past
Molalla, 52-33, with Center Dick
Mobley scoring 15 points, and
Sandy eliminated Rainier, 50-40,
with Bob Stcenson of Sandy
scoring 20. Marshfield meets I
Sandy today, the winner to
play the victor of the Washington-Hood
River contest.

In 1946 America purchased more Chevrolet cars
more Chevrolet trucks more Chevrolet cars
and trucks combined than any other make,
despite the fact that Chevrolet was out of pro
duction entirely during the first three months
of the year! A magnificent tribute to Chevrolet
production efficiency, as well as to the dollar
value of Chevrolet products! It's the best
proof you can possibly have that you're wise to
choose Chevrolet, the only cars giving BIG-CAR
QUALITY AT LOWEST COST, and the only
trucks rating as THRIFT-CARRIERS FOR THE
NATION! True, there still aren't enough new
Chevrolets to go around, but highest popular
demand means higher dollar value, just as
highest production means quicker delivery of
your new car or truck. Place your order todayl
