Pelicans Should Reach
State Basketball Meet
At Eugene This Season
If nil the scums hold, the Klamath Pelicans will get Into (he suite
hlBh school basketball tournament Oils March for the second time m
two years. But the struggle isn't over. Medford, Ashland and Oram
Pass the other district 4 contestants ion c
have It In their physiognomy to hold still while
Klamath wins anything. Particularly a high
school athletic championship.
But at the present writing the Pels are far
enough ahead where they can quit panting
for a while.
Twelve games constitute the league's piny
for each team, and four are down already.
Klamath has won all four of its trials, while
Ashland and Grants Pass have two each way and Medford has lost
four. The Pels take on Ashland this coming week-end, while Grants
Pass and Medford have a two-game series on the pan.
Here's the way the district stacks up right now

That table shows the Pels as the best defensive team and second
I ),jgh scorer, while Grants Pass is potent offensively but has a lapse in
' defense. Ashland and Medford also have very leaky defenses, and right
there Is where the district title will be won.
Twenty-Gome Average Is 42.5
It's interesting to note that the Pelicans now have tucked 20 games,
conference and otherwise. Into history this season, with a mark of 15
wins and five defeats. The losses have been to Redding. Klamath
Alumni, Albanr, Oregon Frosh and Southern Oregon Jayvees.
In their 20 games, the Pels have amassed 850 points, for a 42.5 por
game average, and the combined opponents have been limited to 687
total, or 34.35 average. Not bad at all.
Chiloquin Boy Would Be Sleuth
Gillis Hannigan, who could easily be classed as an all-stale basket
ball forward in class B, wants to be a criminologist, no less, when he
grows up. A criminologist, my police force friends tell me. is a cop with
an education.
Hannigan is thinking of enrolling in such a course at St. Martin's
college in Lacey. Wash. He is currently an ace on the Chiloquin high
school cage outfit
From Great Slave Lake To Here
Fish from Great Slave lake way up in the Northwest territory of
Canada are now being sold in a local store. Fishermen in a camp at the
lake, 300 miles south of the Arctic circle, chop big holes in the ice and
seine. They pull their catches up to the surface and -dress them on
the ire.
The temperature, down to 40 below, freezes the fish right on the
spot- They're boxed and shipped by sled 400 miles to a railroad and
eventually find their nay to a Seattle distributor. One of the types
caught at the lake is the inconnu. a creature that gets to weigh 10 or
12 pounds and looks like a Williamson river mullet.
