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.

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

four players who will not see netlnn

Conch Wayne Scott's delegation to
Eugene next week. The Pels will go

Scott listed the following boys ns
eligible for tournmnent piny:

Jack Lust. Hob Humes and Jnrk

five: Tom Edwards. Wllber Elliott.

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.
