MCI TIN HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON SATURDAY, MARCH 13, Ut Wcayne Scoff Ds designing As Pel Coach The final game the Pelicans play at the state basketball tournoment in Eugene next week will be the last Klamath Union high school basketball contest Wayne Scott will coach. Scott announced today that he will finish out this basket ball season and the school year, then resign as coach and physical education instructor at KUHS. In a statement prepared for publication, Scott said: "Under conditions now existing at' Klamath Union high school, I feci I am no longer interested in remain ing as either a teacher or basketball coach. I am mak ing this public statement now so I can go ahead next week at the state tournament looking for another job. "It is very possible that I will return to college next fall for an advanced degree before accepting another position. "The community has been wonderful to me and I sincerely hope the community feels I have done a good job." There is very little chance that the community will feel otherwise about Scott's basketball coaching, since he has been at the helm of the Klamath Falls Pelicans three seasons and Dut the Pels into the state tournament three times. " State Champion First Year Out Scott came to Klamath Falls in 1941 and was Wildcat basketball coach for the 1941-42 season. Next fall he was made Pelican coach for the 1942-43 season and his team that year won the state high school championship. After the 1943 season Scott went into the service and returned in time to take over the Pelicans for the 1946-47 basketball play. His team finished second in the state, losing out to Coos Bay in the state tournament finals. This year the Pelicans swept undefeated through the Southern Oregon district and next week will be one of the outfits to watch at Eugene. Last season Scott came bock to an almost ready-made team of excellent players and consequently his coaching ability was minimized. But this year he started from scratch with a green crew and molded the Pels into a winning com bination, possibly a state champion. No Comment Of Causes For Move ' He is now considered one of the most capable high school basketball coaches in Oregon and undoubtedly will not have to look far for a post with not only more prestige but more pay. Scott is originally from Silverton, Ore., where he played high school ball and was twice chosen on all-state basketball teams. His collegiate playing was done under Howard Hob son, first at Southern Oregon college and later at the Uni versity of Oregon. In announcing his forthcoming resignation from the KUHS staff, Scott did not comment on what "existing con ditions" at the high school prompted his move; except to say he was "not happy here as things now stand." It is believed here that Scott con hook on with a collegiate coaching staff at better pay than he receives at KUHS and that aside from personal finances he disagrees with the school over expense money alloted for the Pelicans on road trips such as the Eugene tournament and other motters of policy.

NEW YORK RING PUT IN SWEAT NEW YORK, March 13 (V-Mar cel Cerdan's convincing rout of young Lavern Roach puts the New York state athletic commission on the hot seat. Now the muddle middle weight situation screams for action. Rocky Graziano, 160-pound king in many states, is rated undesirable on his home grounds. His license was revoked for concealing an alleged bribe offer. With the champ unrecognized, the title has been declared "in abeyance" by Chairman Eddie Eagan of the commission. The place is swarming with would-be contenders. Cerdan, who stopped Roach in 2:31 of the eighth round last night in Madison Square Garden, has strong case. Unbeaten in five North American starts, the Frenchman with the smiling eyes has a string of 33 victor.es. At the age of 32 he. like Gus Lesnevlch, seems to be improving. Although Roach easily took tne first round last night he was over matched. His brilliant amateur ca reer and 24 wins In 25 pro fights were not enough to cope witn a veteran puncher like Cerdan. Last Round Of NAIB Is Due Tonight KANSAS CITY, March 13 UP) The fiery Sycamores of Indiana State college, Terre Haute, and the deliberate play-makers of the Uni versity of Louisville (Ky.) meet to night for the national Intercolle giate basketball title and a spot in the Olympic play-offs. Indiana State whipped favored Hamline university of St. Paul, Minn., 66-65, last night. Center Duane Klueh's desperate one-handed shot swished through the net a split-second before the final gun ended an overtime period. The Louisville Cardinals, playing their usual methodical game, rallied in the last five minutes to beat Xavier university of Cincinnati, 56-49. Tonight's winner will play in the eight-team Olympic playoff at New York. March 27, 29 and 31, to de t rmine the United States' repre sentative In next summer's world games In London. Jeffs Lose First PORTLAND, March 13 MP) Jef ferson, city high school basketball champion of Portland, lost its first game of the season last night a 48-44 defeat at the hands of the University of Portland freshmen..

The Pels will go up Tuesday in private cam. Scott listed the following boys ns eligible for tournmnent piny: dipt. Don Zuroslnskl. Gary Dnwes, Jack Lust. Hob Humes and Jnrk Kennrtt on the probable starting five: Tom Edwards. Wllber Elliott. Whltey Dornian. Ed Whitney and Jerry Schubert on the reserve string.

Managers will be Vance Vauuel and Bill Hnrper. WKKillT AllllKI) Big Jerry Schubert, who gut In both Pelican and Jnyvee games this past season, was included In the varsity string fui the tournament because Scott feels Jerry's height and bulk may come in handy under the backbo.irds. Elliott, a classy ball-handler, also performed with the Javvees frequently for more ex perience. StrlnRham and Brightmnn often worked with the varsity. The listing of the 10 eligiblcs might be a tip-oif that Scott plans to use team-substitution, playing one five then the other, and in that manner not work undue strain on either. If the Pels go the distance, it will mean four games in four nights and that pace can wear a team thread bare. COLONIALS FIRST First game for the Pels will be Wednesday night against the Wash ington high Colonials, second-best team in the Portland city circuit. Washington represents district 16. That game is called for 7:30 p.m. and will be broadcast over KFLW. In Eugene the Pels will be quar tered at the Osborne hotel.

The Bears kept pace with the hard-running, smooth-passing Hus kies last night and then out-shone them In their own driving game hi the la.st five minutes and won 64-M. If Jack Nichols, the northern di vision's scoring record maker, gets away tonight the scare may be In thf Huskies' favor. California's Chuck Hanger held him to a measly nine points 'n the opener. Rut the Bears weren't able to choke off the long shots of little Bobby Jorgenson and the click, driving shots of Sam White and Bill Vandcnburgh. The Bears led 30-27 at the half after throttling down the Huskies' opening, terrific fast break. Wash ington pulled thead in the second half but wilted five minutes bfore the game's end Washington started with a rone dffense but switched to a man-to-man as the Bears Jumped to a M- Ithd.
