The two games, one Friday night and one Saturday, can actually be called crucial at this time, as the contests are the last in which the schools will meet this season. Sine? tournament bids this year will come as a result 6f league stand ings both clubs will really be going all out. The Pelicans and the Tornado, rivals since 1910. are even up at 51 games each for the 48-year pe riod. The Pelicans evened the count just this year by taking the first two games from the Medford fi"e. Coach Don Mosaic and his cag- crs realize that every team in the conference is gunning for the Pels and that each one of them also has a habit of finding an undisclosed source of strength when it comes time to meet Klamath Falls. With this thought in mind, Me gale has been working his club every chance he gets in both of fensive and defensive strategies.

The game will go into the rec ord books with Oregon Tech the winner of a low-scoring 39-38 game. But only coach Wnlly Palmberg and his club realizes how it feels to have the hand of fate on your shoulder. Southern Oregon slowed the came to a snail's pace to out- nlav the Owls. And it looked to the 2,000 basketball fans, on hand to sot the game as if the Red Haiders were on their way to knocking the defending conference champions on for the second tune tins year. But Dell Francis and Charlie Wilson, a pair of seldom used Owls, knocked the Itaiders out of the game by leading a last -minute Ore gon Tech rally. HELD SEVEN POINT LEAD The visiting Raiders held a sev en point margin, 37-30 with just less than three minutes lelt after leading through all of the game. Then Francis and Wilson ignited a spark that staggered SOC. Owl John McCutcheon started the OTI rally with a field goal from side court to make the score 37-32. Then Francis hit once from the field and added two free throws and Wilson tank three out of three from the free throw line to clinch the win lor the Techmen in the last two minutes of play. SOC held a 38-36 lead with 1:41 left after Dave D'Olivo hit once from the free throw line. Then Wil son was fouled by D'Olivo and made two free throws. At this same time, Haider guard Jim Mc Abee was whistled down lor a technical loul and Wilson dropped in a third point OTl's winning niargin-3l)-38 with 1:30 led. The Red Raiders had two chances in the last minute and 12 seconds to either tie the game or win it, but failed both times. With t.12 left. Dill Hollingsworth was fouled but missed the free throw. With only two seconds lelt. Hol lingsworth again missed a gill shot attempt. Both times the one-ami-one bonus rule was in elicit, which: gave Southern Oregon a possible lour points. DESPERATION SHOT On llollingsworlh's last charily try, the hall bounced back to Hu ll ont of the basket. When the horn sounded, SOCs Norm Oliva was trying to gel away a desperation hot with Wilson and Charlie Bo gle checking the shot. It was a storybook ending tor the Mile High Owls, and a haul way to lose lor the Haiders. Tech led 7-ti early in the game, but alter McAhce sank a long push shot to give SOC an 8-7 lead, the Owls were behind until Wilson put them ahead with Ins third and crucial free throw. The first hall's score diflered from two to six points with South ern Oregon holding a 23-20 lead at halftime. In the second hall, the Raidcrs held seven and eight point leads until the Owls linally came lo life on the strength ol the clutch playing of Francis and Wilson. Southern Oregon took command of both backboards in the first .three-quarters of the g.unc and "used a 1-2-2 zone dctrue lo near perfection as the Owls were kept off-balance and unable to roll as their hometown followers had hoped. OTI out-rebounded the Haid ers in the final statistics, 26 25, hut most. of these came in the closing minutes. Strong board play by D'Olivo and Oliva kept the Raiders one step ahead of their hosts until the last-ditch surge. KEEPS OWLS CLOSE John Rhino. OTI playmnkins guard hit four lung push shuts in the first half's action to keep the Owls within striking distance as the Raiders defense held the Oil in side shooting at a minimum, Rhine and Jerry Fastcen each hil for nine points to lead the Owl scoring. High for SOC and the game was McAbec with 12, all from the field. Southern Oregon out-shot OTI from the field, hitting 16 of 32 attempts for an even .500 percentage. OTI had a .400 eve ning, 14 of 35. Wilson also starred in the junior varsity gamo which the Oregon lech Jayvces won 79-77 in a double overtime preliminary contest. Wil son fired home a half-court des peration set shot at the horn to lie the gamo at 71-71 and send the game inlo a second extra pe riod. The regulation lime ended knotted at 67-07 alter the OTI Jay vees came from behind to tie the score in the last few minutes. With a full game lead in the con ference standing's, Palmbcrg's cagcrs now lace a two-game se ries against Kaslern Oregon Col lege Friday and Saturday al La Grande. The Owls already hold two wins over the Mountaineers,, but KOC is still regarded as a threat to the Tech hopes of a second straight OCC championship. Box Score: SO.

Record Breaker? ;. brought things into their proper fo cus and the ball team promptly went to work in earnest. There was an admitted difference in the club that lost to Grants Pass and the quint that overwhelmed the Com ets. Coach Megale will undoubtedly call on Glenn Moore, Bob Peterson, Bob Niles, Dave Robinson, who has shown no ill' effects from the wrist injury sustained in the Cra ter game and Smiley Herrera for the starting chores. Moore, the big all-state center, has regained his usual form and may be well on his way to setting a new scoring record for a local high school player. During his stay at Klamath Union, Moore has played in 64 games and has gar nered a lotal of 933 points; an av erage of 14.5 per game. No high school player has ever reached the 1000 mark.

"Ralph is ready to meet any body in the lightweight or welter weight division who will lead to a title shot," said Dupas' trainer, Angelo Dundee.
