By HALE SCARBROUGH
McARTHUR COURT, Eugene, March 15 For the third night in a row the Klamath
Pe'inni had a rough time ot it. But if the pressure was bad those three nights it I be ter
rifc whn the Klamath boys meet the Marshfield Pirates for the state basketball diadem
twW-t Mar hfield, a dark-horse outfit coached by Bill Borcher, has come up with a well-
toelancAi. si-ooth-working attock for the biggest surprise of the tournament.
last r.ia it the Pelicans were pushed to the limit to beat Newberg another surprise
rackaKe-6i to 87. The Klamath boys were calling themselves lucky when that one was lover

gam? but Coleman, Joe Zarosinski and Clarence Bussman pulled out to trail by just two points,

Coach Wavne ScoU sent in his second string shock troops and Bob Redkey lqoped in a long
r'io h Pelicans a brief lead for the ferst time in the game.
8 n .VatHe oi I free throws tha bulge came and went several times before Don Cessnun was
fouled by Hart Newton and his two foul shot ringers put Klamath into the lead for the half.
25"Don Hov evened the count at 25-all to open the third period, but Harley i Gras. centerfc the
TtrerS went haywire and committed four straight fouls which resulted in three K amath points.

LeRov Coleman was hot in the third period, pushing in four consecutive buckets m Just

Newberg in every department of the game.

Pel backers came midway of tne
fourth when Hoy got a basket
and two free throws to make the
score read 56 for Klamath, 50
for Newberg. Speidel counted
next, Joe Zarosinski rammed in
a foul shot for Klamath, then
Speidel again and then a long
bullseye by Hoy.
That sliced the Klamath lead
to just two points, 57-55, and
the Newberg assault faded. With
little over a minute to play,
Klamath got a tipoff and went
into a whirl that eventually net
ted three points. Charles Ferrell
sank a long heave for the Tigers
just at the final gun and the
score was Klamath 60. Newberg
57
The win put the Pels in the
finals, to meet the Marshfield
' Pirates tonight at 8:45. Marsh
field dumped Hood River 45 to
43 in another spine-tingler to
make the finals, but almost any
of the 6000 spectators who saw
- last night's games on McArthur
court will agree that is not the
spunky outfit Newberg was. The
" Pirates, although balanced, do
not boast of a specific scoring
star to compare with Speidel
and Hoy of Newberg or Cole-
' nan of Klamath.
By last night's 60 points, the
Pelicans are almost assured of
breaking two state tourney
records. They have 184 points
in three games. And the mark
is 198 in four, set by North
Bend in 1942. North Bend's
averau that vear of 49.5 per
game will go Dy me ooara asj
toon as tne feis ring up ia
points tonight. It should be done
in me Iirsi quarter.
EUGENE, March 15 WO
Marshfield had to resort to late
stalling tactics to gain its vic
; tory over Hood River. The Coos
Bay entry trailed 7-6 at the end
of the first quarter, was ahead
24-21 at the half and wound up
th third period all even, Al-At
From then on it was close un
til Don Bruce of Marshfield con
verted a foul toss with 1:03 min
utes to go that gave Marshfield
a 45-41 lead.
They went into the stall then,
but big Lloyd Buettgenbach,
Hood River center who was a
standout through the game,
'scored aeain to cut the margin
' to two points with 35 seconds re
maining. Marshfield kept tne
ball the rest of the way.
The 6 foot 3 Buettgenbach
who weighs 190 pounds, tallied
2 points. Bill O'Neal sparked
. Marshfield in the early minutes
and Bruce provided the punch
in the last half. Bruce scored
14 points.
Both teams showed nervous-
: ness at the foul line, where the
' game was won. Each had 18
' field goals, and Marshfield
made 9 free throws to Hood
River's 7. Marshfield, however,
missed 14 other tries and Hood
River, 12.
Klamath Falls goes into the
final with a tourney record of
61 points a game. Marshfield,
. despite last night's comparative
ly low score, has averaged 56 in
its three tilts. Marshfield holds
the defensive, allowing oppo
nents an average of 39 to Klam
ath Falls' 55.
In other games Salem came
. from behind in a rough contest
, to defeat Eugene, 41-36, and
Washington downed Sandy,
- 44-35. .- ... i
There were 54 fouls called,
the most in any game to date,
as Eugene led until the last 21

state champion, was ahead 32-28
at the end of the third quarter,
