Newspaper Page TextMONDAY, FEBRUARY 24. 1958 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON II "HI minimi PAGE NINE (Bakla W (BUm ly WAYNE SCOTT There are times when a sports writer's assignment can be mighty tough; no activity, no winners, no stars, no standouts nothing! Fortunately, such is not the case in Klamath County. Not this year! Not the basketball season, especially! The only trouble now is that there isn't enough time or space to talk about all the high points. One might dwell upon the daz zling 6-8 KU center, Glenn Moore, whose 1065 total points in his high school career represent an all-time scoring record in the history of Klamath Union. . , . One might, but one can't, since there are players like Bob Niles, Dave Rob inson, Tom Ankeny, Bob Peterson and Smiley Herrera, all stick outs in their own right, without whom, perhaps, the Pelicans might never have become conference champions. . . . Unsung, yes: unappreciated, no. Reams of copy could be written on each and probably will be befor- they fin ish their respective careers. Persons easy to write about are not necessarily restricted to KU. PICK A SCHOOL Pick a county school run down a lineup . . . you'll find a star on any one of seven rosters. Men like Ron Roberts of Bonanza, Walt Lee from little Bly, Merrill's scrap py Bud Maupin, Bill Rajnus of Ma lm, Bruce Parazoo from Chiloquin or SHA's George Hurley, keep pop ping up with enough material to fill a page. Distance and a time element have temporarily kept them out of the limelight. . . . Only temporarily, tho. Any one of them might, and sooner than you think, crash the news barrier as another Elgin Baylor, a Dave Gambee or a Johnny O'Brien. Fr'instance. let's look at Bo nanza's 5-6, 140 pound package of TNT, Ron Roberts. This bespec tacled, quiet "bomb," who stands in awe of a crowd, made the Ant ler varsity as a freshman. He got off to a slow start; played in nine games and only made 38 points the first year. As a sophomore he did a little better scraped togeth er 279 as he kind of felt his way along. By his junior year he had begun to get into the swing as he hit the twine for a miserly 387 point season. As a senior he had been "held" to 333 as of a week ago: of course there is the Coun ty B tourney yet to be considered. - A handy adding machine will di vulge that the boy has collected 1037 points during his tenure at a guard slot for the Antler cagers. Spread over 76 games, this comes out something like 13.8 markers per contest; pretty fair for a lad that has averaged "only" .400 for - field goal attempts and "only" .775 from the free throw line over the distance. In addition, Ron, who speaks only when spoken to and then only- sparingly, carries football sear in a spritely manner. There are quarterbacks a half a foot taller that may be able to move faster, straight-line-wise, in full re galia but there aren't many who get caught from behind as few times as little Roberts. SPEED BURNER His speed isn't restricted to iust football or basketball as he trips a neat 100-yard dash and sprang to a third in county and district broad jumps. Mention hunting or fishing to Ronny and you get a fleeting im- Diiclts Host Cal In Coast Conference Action Monday PACIFIC COAST California Oregon State UCLA Idaho So. Call!.

Charlie Roberts, a logger, moved his family from Flagstaff, Arizona to Bonanza when Ron was in the second grade. They don't plafi to leave in the im mediate future, either. There are three more Roberts' boys and one girl at home. . . . And someone asks "Why is that Bonanza coach, Erv Ellis always grinning?!" Hah! Meanwhile, back in the city limits ... the thought occurs that the appreciative fans who may or may not have had the chance to participate in the ovation accord ed the graduating Pel cagers in their final home series could do much worse than move "en masse" to Crater High this weekend to watch Moore & Co. bring down the curtain on a fabulous season. Chamberlain In Point Race By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS If Wilt Chamberlain of Kansas is going to make a three-way race of the contest for individual bas ketball scoring honors among the major colleges he had better start tallying in big figures Monday night. Chamberlain, who saw his av erage drop to 30.7 when he scored only 18 points in a losing cause against Nebraska Saturday, is in action Monday night against Iowa State. The two men he hopes to catch, Elgin Baylor of Seattle and Oscar Robertson of Cincinnati, are idle. Robertson almost caught Bay lor Saturday when he scored 36 points against Tulsa while the feattle ace was putting together 2 in a loss to Idaho State. The result left Baylor with a 33.76 av erage on 709 points in 21 games and Robertson with 33.72 on 742 in 22 contests. Bailey Howell of Mississippi State strengthened his hold on fourth place, boosting his average to 27.6 with 45 points against LSU. Californians Nab Ice Titles SEATTLE (iTi Californians swept to the major championships in the Pacific Coast Figure Skat ing championships here Saturday. Winners of the senior pairs i event were Sheila Wells, Sacra mento, and Rubin Greiner, Berke ley, who defeated the Seattle; brown brother and sister team of By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS California's Golden Bears b i d for a three-game sweep of their current Pacific Northwest tour Monday and a stronger hand in their drive for a second consecu tive Pacific Coast Conference bas ketball championship. The bears lead the conference with a 10-2 record despite pre season predictions giving them little chance this season. TJiey meet Oregon Monday night at Eu gene. Coach Pete Newell s Cal cagers built up their conference leader ship Saturday when they downed Washington State 59-48 on the heels of a Friday night 70-62 vic tory over Idaho. The Bears were supported by Oregon State's 77-61 triumph over UCLA, which dropped the Bruins (9-4) to third and raised the Beav ers (9-3) to second. Idaho borrowed the full court press Cal had used on them Fri day and applied it -Saturday to surprise Washington 85-63. Stan ford's Paul Neumann sank four straight baskets in the closing minutes to give the Indians a 69 61 come-from-behind victory pver Southern California. Oregon was idle Saturday. Washington travels to Washing ton State for Monday night's only other tangle. This and the Cal- Oregon game open the next to last week of conference play. Games slated Friday put UCLA at Cal, Southern Cal at Oregon, Idaho at Stanford and Washing ton State at Washington. Saturday it s Southern Cal at Oregon State. UCLA at Stanford, Idaho at Cal and Washington at Oregon. - The Bears displayed a rounded offense and balanced floor play to drop the Cougars. The Cougars shot a bit more accurately but Pancho Talks Of Retirement DALLAS, Tex. (UP) Pancho Gonzales, who says he's thinking of retiring, . attempts to- whittle a little off Lew Hoad s wide lead today in their 100-match cross country tennis series. Gonzales, defending champion of pro tennis, said Sunday night af ter losing 6-4, 7-5 to Hoad in Fort Worth that he may retire after this series, but emphasized he hasn't yet made up his mind The win gave the Australian a 16-8 lead in the series. He broke through Gonzales' service in the ninth game of the first set and in the 11th game of the second. A crowd of 2.800, the largest ever to see a pro tennis match in Fort Worth, was on hand. Gonzales said he's "playing much better tennis now" than he was last year against Ken Rose wall. He said Hoad is "head and shoulders" above anyone he's played previously. In the preliminary singles match Sunday, Pancho Segura and Tony Trabert tied 9-9. In doubles, Tra bert and Gonzales beat Hoad and Segura 8-4. Gonzales denied reports that his trouble is psychological. "I don't think about anything but winning the next point," he said. Delany Captures Fast Mile Huskies. The two, who rank one :wo for conference individual scor ing honors, ranked 'the same way in the game. Simmons hit 30 and Smart 28. Idaho the conference offen sive leader sank 4a per cent of its free throw attempts while Washington hit 38 per cent. This and solid defensive work led by Jerry Jorgenson, who had been out part of the season with a leg record. He has three names left to pad his total. The Trojans seemed to have a victory in hand until Stanford's Neumann started sinking his jump shots, which turned the tide in the rough, foul-scarred contest. The Trojans contributed to their own downfall by fouling repeatedly as they sought to steal the ball, but this gave the Indians added free throw attempts. POET Joe Brown Featured On Cuban TV Card Upsets Hit Prep Leaders By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS North Bend and The Dalles sprang upsets Saturday night on two of the top-ranked squads in the Associated Press Poll of Ore gon prep basketball teams. Unranked The Dalles edged seventh-place Pendleton 69-62, while North Bend, the poll's No. 9 squad, tripped sixth-place Spring field, 48-44. A victory in the contest would have given Springfield a berth in the Class A-l basketball tourna ment. The Millers, however, still can win a berth by beating South Eugene next Friday. South Eugene, in the poll's fifth position, Saturday night continued its win string with a 63-57 triumph over Marshfield, currently in the poll's No. 10 spot.

By Istvan Rozia- volgyi, the Hungarian who has run second to Ron in his two races here since arriving less than two weeks ago. "Rozsavolgyi definitely can break the record," said Delany, 'and if I were running against him in the IC4A special mile this week, one or both of us probably would break it." Delany will be taken up with de fense of his 1,000-yard and two- mile titles in the IC4A meet. where team points count more than individual championships.
