WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, IBM
TIME OUT!
"Come to think of it, I thought
I detected slight uilrkrr when
we concluded that big trade deal
with him last fall!"
POST MORTEMS from the re
cent Klamath County Class B bas
ketball tournament:
Leading scorer was Jumpln' Jinv
my Mahoney. The Sacred Heart
easer totaled 67 in three games.
for a 19-per average. He still gets
my nomination as tne nest au
around hoop performer in the eight
team county leaRue.
The lad who, in my opinion, was
conspicuous for his absence on the
. all-star team, was Mamn wuson,
' Bonanza's fine play-maker.
Wilson was the lad who did the
main steadying job when the cham
plon Bonanza team came close to
' loslnsr its lead over Malin when
the Mustangs touched off a third-
quarter aplurge.
THE HERALD AND NEWS no
loneer votes in the all-county sel
ections the last eight of the tour
ney.
But from what I've Been, my
first team would have Mahoney
and Malta's Wayne Rick at for
wards. Bonanza's Don Hubble at
center, and Wilson and Bob How
ard, Sacred Heart, at guards.
FRAXBXYN HUTCHISON. Biys
harp-shooter. Is Just a sophomore
and can develop into one of the
Basin's brightest high school bas
ketball stars with two years to
go.
But right now he Js, from where
T sit, the most over-rated player in
the league.
The kid can shoot with the best
of them. His book shot from siae-
eourt is uncanny.
But he's got a lot to learn about
teamwork. Invariably he'll dribble
the length of the court, then lire
when he's stopped.
Hutchinson will have to learn
to pass off more. Right now he's
a shooting star who forgets there's
lour other ooys on ine warn.
Several times, particularly no
ticeable in the Bonanza game, Hut
chinson went It all alone the length
of the court. He got away with it
several times but a still wasn t
mod basketball.
On several occasions there was
a teammate near the basket in
a better position to shoot. A pass
could have meant two points.
He's young yet, just a sophomore.
He'll no doubt learn the value of
passing and moving the ball. When
The does hell be twice the player
he Is now.
THE TOP TEN scorers In the
tournament were Mahoney, Malin's
Bob Stevenson with 40, Malin's
Rick and Bonanza's Irwin Crume
each with 39, Hutchinson with 35,
Bonanza's Vernon Haley with 34,
Bonanza's Hubble with 31. Merrill's
Dick Reeves with 30,- Bonanza's
Wilson with 29 and Sacred Heart's
Howard with 28.
Hutchinson played In Just two
games, tne rest in three.

Help From
Cavemen
It's unusual for Klamath Falls
to cheer Grants Pass athletically.
But that's what the basketballing
Pelicans are doing rs they drill
for the invasion of Ashland in a
Friday-Saturday season-closer on
Pelican Court.
Because the Pelicans need the
Cavemen's help In an arithmetic
problem.
with just this weekend s sum
left, Medford leads Klamath Falls
by a full game.
The Pelicans are highly favored
to hold up their end of the prob
lem by whipping Ashland twice.
TIE POSSIBLE
Grants Pass could give Klamam
Falls n tie with Medford by split
ting its two-game set with the
Black Tornado. If Grants Pass can
upset Medford twice, the title
would go to Klamath Falls pro
viding the Pels bent Ashland twice.
But even the most optimistic ana
loval fans ore expecting no more
than a split in the Medford-Grants
Pass series.
Ashland was hurt recently wnen
Bill Hollingsworth, one of tne
league's leading scorers, chipped
an ankle bone and was benched
for the season.
Mel Taylor may also oe iosi a
the Grizzlies for the Pel series
with a sprained ankle.
STARTERS
Ashland Coach Cnuck janareau
will likely start with Ted lenney
and Bill Miles and Center Gregg
Lininger. Harvey Woods will get
one starting guard call along with
either Vern Tenney or noo iuyi..

Wolves In
NAIB Meet
ARGUMENTS of tournament vs.
double round-robin play waged
not ana heavy during the tourney.
xve gone into some detail on
Where I stand on the Issue and
there'll probably be a good deal
more in the future.
The tournaments are Interesting
and good cage shows.
But the champion should be
picked on Its won and lost record
In 14 games, playing around twice.
Those opposed to the idea have
Ho really logical reasons.
In the final analysis, the reason
for keeping the tournament as a
titlist-decider is a monetary one.
The tournament gate and it's al
ways a money-maker is split ev
enly among the eight teams in
the league after expenses are taken
out.
It helps the athletic, programs
at the various schools.
Even if the tourney were kept
as an extra aaaed attraction with
a special trophy as a prize, it
would lose its drawing value.
The bulk of interest in the tour
ney is centered in the fact that
there's a title riding In the balance.

Charge
Ice Fix
MOSCOW UV-The Soviets have
accused the American and Cana
dian Olympic hockey teams of a
behind scenes deal" by which tne
Canadian team "threw" its last
game with the Americans, thereby
permitting the United States to win
second place in the winter games.
(Canada and tne U.S. played a
3-3 tie in their last game In the
Olympic competition at Oslo, The
draw gave the Canadians the hoc
key championship and jumped the
Americans from 4th to 2nd place iu
the tournament. The tie also clinch
ed second nlace for the Americans
in team honors with 89 j points.)
The Soviet Press stated Wednes-
day that the "behind scenes deal
was so evident that even the
bourgeois Norwegian press was
forced openly to make declarations
on It."
The Soviets charged the alleged
'deal" was aimed at keeping
Czechoslovakia out of second place
in the hockey competition.
There was no immediate com
ment from Canadian - and U.S.
sources.
