Klamath Nipped By Frosh The Pelicans lost a close 8-8 baseball decision to the University of Oregon Frosh Saturday at Eu gene when a disputed decision in the sixth Inning went against the Kiamatn nine ana nipped iour run rally. Ing Montgomery had knocked In two runs with a single and Clay Hannon did the same. Two men were still on base and two were out when Ron Owing was tagged off first on a hidden-ball play. Pelican Coach John McOtnnls claimed it was a balk and should have scored the man from third to tie the count and the Klamath mentor had many supporters for his claim.
