Triumph
Coach Don Peterson and his
Klamath Union High School Pel
ican basketball squad turned in a
successful home debut last night
at Pelican Court as they picked
up a 53-44 win over the invading
Redding High cagers.
In the slow pacing ball game,
that, in some ways had the tea-
tures of the low scoring tilts of a
few seasons back, the Pels over
came a tirst period deficit held by
the Shasta quintet and led at the
half and third period marks
Trailing 14-12 going into the sec
ond quarter of play, the Pels
countered with three quick field
goals, two by Dave D'Olivo and
the third by Denny Todd, to take
a 20-18 lead. Redding tied it up
with a bucket by Dick Stuart, and
from here on, it was Klamath's
game. .
CHARITY ,
Toad tallied another basket,
nannv Lowe with two charity toss
es, Munsell with a two-pointer and
D'Olivo again hitting with his noos
cave the Pels their halftime lead
of 28-24. and Redding was never
to threaten agaui.
In what could be classified as a
"freak" quarter in basketball in
these days of high, scaring quin
tets. Klamath held tne woives 10 a
stogie field goal by Fred Batchelor
and countered lor only nine poinis
themselves. Marlln Causey picked
un three points on free throws and
Orin Perkins, Munsell and Lowe
hit from the field for the nine
Klamath tallies.
Ron Benneche and Kent Carter
stiirred the wolves in the forth and
4 final chanter of last night's game,
i but Uie visiting hoopsters couldn't
i overcome the Klamath lead. Ben-
neche accounted for four points
and Carter hit the net for a total
of nine counters in Reading's best
i. ueriod of the came,
Todd, Causey, D'Olivo and Per
kins handled ,the scoring for the
Pr-ls in trie fourth penoa, wnicn to
taled 16 points, and giving the
-iWhitebirds their first win of the
season against two losses.
j The. major share of the stnry
iof last merits slow moving Dan
Sgame was the scoring of 6 loot 4
inch D'Olivo, who countered
S well with Jiook shots. The back
hoard work of Munsell and Per.
kins also tended to break the back
of the visiting cage squad on sev
eral occasions.'
SCORING
D'Olivo led the scoring parade
lor the evening, as he totaled 19
counters, while Carter, the Shasta
pointmaker, turned in an eve
ning's performance of 15 counters.
Eddie Bigelow was Ihird high man
of the prep battle with 12 points.

Ring Card
Tickets for the "Weiser Chil
dren" benefit toxin; card, which
will feature a 10 round main event
between Jimmy Orow o.' Boise and
Teddy Hall of Vancouver and Se
attle fight circles, are now on sole
at Dick Reeder's Store for Men.
Promoter Mack Lillaid indicated
that the response for this fight
could possibly be the largest ever
shown by Klamath ring fans. An
outstanding fight card and a very
humane purpose for holding the
fight has laid a solid foundation
for a large crowd.
All the money detived from the
fight, following expenses, fighter's
purses, the 6 per cent that Is de
ducted for charity and 10 per cent
which goes to the federal govern
ment from taxes, will go into a
trust fund for the five fatherless
children.
A committee of 13 business men
and members of the radio and
press Is heading this drive to help
care for Weiser's sons and daugh
ters. This group will supervise the
use of the money for the children
and specify how much and how
often it will be given to the five
young survivors of the Beatty
Bomber.
Grow and Hall have both ex
pressed the idea that they will
donate half of their purse for the
fight and Lillard has made it
known that he will place another
$200 In the fund besides what Is
taken in at the box oflice.
There will be no passes ren
dered at this fight and all ring of
ficials, commission members, fire
men and policemen, who usually
are allowed into the matches with
out cost will be asked to pay the
price of admission. Many of these
have already indicated that they
wished to have It "jiat way,
A large crowd of boxing fans
Is expected to Jam the armory
Tuesday evening In tribute to Wei
ser. who was the local ring hero
cf the fight followers.
Lillard has indicated that there
will also be a large number of
preliminary bouts since several
of the local pugilists and those
who have known Weiser In other
towns up and down the coast have
asked for a spot on the benefit
card. If this is the case, a six
round semi-windup and one or two
four rounders will top the prelim
inary card, while the others will
probably be three rounders.

OPPORTUNITY
Trabcrt's match provided him

he whipped around the court.
The sellout crowd of 7.000-that
Jammed the Milton courts reserved

"I was completely pleased with
the way Tony played," he said.
"I like Uie way he is hitting ilie
ball and I like the way he reacted
to the crowd demonstrations which
failed to face him at nil."
