SATURDAY, DEC. 13, 1947 4 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PACE TEN Pelicans Top Pioneers As Grant Loses Astoria Upends Generals 22 to 19 In Tourney Upset The abrupt upending of the Grant Oenerals last night by a surprising group of Fishermen trom Astoria left the Klamath Pelicans the sole surviving undefeated quin tet In the invitational basketball tourney being conducted on the floor of the KUHS gym. Grant was spilled 22 to 19 in their tight btiuggle with Asioria. while the Pels fashioned a 45-35 win over Oregon City. Grant had been tabbed as the power of the tourney, but both Astoria and Ore gon City showed 100 per cent Im provement last night over their Thursday performances. The schedule for tonight puts Astoria and Oregon City m the first game, starting at 7:30. with Grant and Klamath in the finale. Grant's Generals led their game with Astoria all the way last night, except for the part which counted the last three minutes and in Uie first quarter were in front by six points. Late in the fourth period Duane Hansen tapped in a shot by Dour Loflle to tie the count at 19-19, and Bob Kittilson drew a foul shot which put Astoria in the lead. With three minutes re maining on the clock, the Fisher men went into a stall, but Logue controlled a jump ball and tip ped in another two-pointer for the final score. The last two minutes were a complete stall with Astoria three times taking the ball out of bounds rather than risk losing the ball on a free throw. The Generals were in such a dither to get pos session they concentrated three men on the Astoria ball-handler in an effort to shake loose a bad pass. But couldn't. Grant had used a zone defense which seemed to stymie the Fish ermen for the first quarter, but they learned to rush the defense and break its effectiveness. The Pelicans marched over Ore gon City 45 to 35 in the nightcap, despite the best effort of Forward Don Hoffman, who counted 17 points for Oregon City. Hoffman took the lead for the Pioneers but Bob Barnes quickly recovered for the Pels with a free ' throw and a push-in two-pointer. By the end of the first period ' Klamath led 8-5. The second period was a nip up with the score being tied three occasions, but Jack Lust, Don Zarosinskl and Gary Dawes put the Pelicans on the long end of 20-16 at halftime. From then on the issue wasn't In doubt and the Pel fast break really got to clicking In the third period.. Coach Wayne Scott team : substituted and Oregon City also called In a full new team.

Davidson, Dusette In Tag The meanlcs beat out and up the cleanies at last night's, grapple contest In the armory when the power team of Whitey Whittler and Al Williams took i two-fall decision over Georges Dusette and his part ner. Buck Davidson. Strategy was the main point of the first minutes of the team tag match, with Whittler and Williams taking turns making strong-man Dusette break holds and wear him self down. The first fall came along about twenty minutes after the no-time-llmit match opened when Whittler and Williams used a switching arm lock on Davidson in their corner to cop the fall. Only after the state police had been forced to warn Whittler, however, for climbing Into the ring to help out his nervous partner. Dusette came out of his corner after the bell to put a quick squeeze on Whittler and even things up by slugging the Swede into a daze and then putting a full nelson on him that couldn't be broken.
