OREGON PAGBNMK mm Huskies Win On Last Shot By CLAYTON HANNON Herald-Newi Sporii Writer ' Coach Al Keck s Merrill High Huskies captured the Klamath County "B" Basketball Champion ship Saturday night at Oregon Tech as they nipped the inspired Chiloquin Panthers 40-38 in a spine-tingling championship game uelore a jam-packed crowd of scroaming basketball fans. The Huskies thrilling two - point victory followed on the heels of Bonanza's 49-47 triumph over Bly in the tournament's consolation game for third and fourth places. Frank Merriwell couldn't have written a more1 exciting finish to the championship game where Mer rill came from behind twice to take the lead. And it wasn't until junior guard Bud Maupin hit with a long jui))p shot from the left side of the key with only two seconds left in the game that Keek's basketballers w ere arowned the 1958 county tour nament champions. During the nip and tuck final, the score was tied or the lead changed hands 22 times. The wid est spread of the contest was only five points, that early in the sec ond half when Chiloquin moved into a 27-22 lead. Chiloquin held a 16-12 lead at the close of the first quarter, but at Tournament AH Star Team Ron Roberts, Perry Laney and Walter Lee were repeaters on the 1958 Klamath County B Basketball Tournament's All Star team named Saturday night at the close of the annual county cage classic. Roberts led Bonanza to the consolation championship, Laney was a big gun In the Merrill championship game en try and Lee sparked Blv's tournament play and was the leading scorer for the Bobcats in iheir three tournament games. All three were 1957 selections. The all-star team as named by a vote of the tournament coaches included: 1. Ron Roberts Bonanza 2. Mike Ravizza Chiloquin 3. Bud Maupin Merrill 4. Walter Lee Bly 5.

Doug Evertson Merrill halftime, Merrill came back to hold a slim one-point 22-21 lead. The third quarter's final count gave the Huskies a 31-29 advantage. The Panthers overtook the Hus kies 33-31 with a minute gone in the last period on two back-to-back field goals by Mike Ravizza from the corner. But Merrill was not to be denied. Perry Laney tied the game at 33-all and in the next few minutes the score was tied 35-35, 37-37 and 38-38 before Maupin's sensational game-winning shot. Chiloquin was waiting for one good shot in the closing seconds when a pass to Ron Hoggarth was high and he stepped out of bounds trying to hang on to the toss. Mer rill took over and called time out with 31 seconds to play. Keck gave his boys instructions to hold the ball for the one good shot, and that they did. With five seconds left to play, Laney flipped a short bounce past to Maupin who whirled and jumped up the most important shot of his prep career. Maupin scored 15 points to lead Merrill's scoring with Laney add ing 13. High for Chiloquin was Mike Ravizza with 15 and Bruce Parazoo with 12. Maupin suffered a t t eye in a scramble under the boards in the closing seconds of the second quarter, but was able to Vbme back and play, a fact for which Merrill fans are happy for today. Bonanza's consolation victory was a thrilling battle down to the last horn, which had to sound twice be fore the Antlers were officially the winners of the third place trophy. Dan Nork was the hero of the Bonanza win. hitting two free .throws, the winning margin, with only 11 seconds left in the game to brcuk a 4i-47 deadlock. Bly trailed by live points, 43-38 going into the fourth quarter, and its late-game surge almost carried the Bobcats to a come-from-behind tri umph. After Nork's two free throws, Bly attempted a desperation shot that fell short into the lane. A jump ball was called, and before the clock had been stopped, the floor was filled with happy Antler followers. But they were soor or dered back into the stands and the jump ball was tossed, but the offi cial time elapsed before the Bob cats were able to get a shot away In the third quarter, Bly pulled intn a :i8-.!8 tie with the Antlers Hh only 1 02 lelt in the period. Hut little Hon Huberts scored on a long puh shot and followed in with a lone jumper to give the Antlers a 42-38 lead with 30 seconds left.

A huge crowd of 9.478 watched Ken Nanson launch Oregon State toward victory tonight by scoring a field goal in the game's opening moments. With four minutes gone in the second half, OSC had wid ened its margin to 42-28. At that point, however, Southern California's Jim Hanna went on a scoring spree that whittled OSC's cushion. The 6-7 sophomore first sank a free throw, and then whirled in four hook shots in a four-minute period. In that time OSC got only two points, and led 44-37. That was about as close as Southern California ever got. though, and Oregon State held at least a six-point lead the remain der of the game.

Donn was offered "full" foot ball rides at three different Pacific Coast Conference schools as well as other independent colleges be-1 fore he accepted the Oregon grant-in-aid. At the present time, Taueher. is working in Eugene, passing time I until he starts school. We'll miss our guess if he doesn't fit into the vacant Oregon quarterback spot if he is given a shot at the job. Besides Taueher. Shasta a 1 s u made use of Jim McGee and Bob Harshbarger, who earned spots on the all-conference ratings. McGee played center, Harshbarger tackle. All three of the boys were gradu ated from KUHS in 1956. Dave Pepple, Bill Badorek and A' Siegner, three other ex - Pels, turned in very fine football seasons at Monterey Peninsula College un der Bill Abbey, former Southern Oregon College coach and Klamath Falls athlete who is well known in the local parts. Badorek, who played end in high school, was moved to a guard spot and was picked on the first team All-Coast Conference (JC). Like Taueher, Badorek has trans ferred to a larger school. Bill is currently attending College of Pa cific where he hopes to play more collegiate football. -0- The Shasta Junior College bas ketball team was also represented for the Knights who finished off the school's finest basketball seas on, winning 18 of 22 games. Runge was one of Shasta s lead ing scorers and sparked the Red ding collegians in their final game of the season against Yuba. In the finale, Runge pumped 17 points through the net including a 14 point attack in 10 minutes of the second half, pacing the Knights to an 86-56 victory. Also playing with Shasta are names familiar to Oregon prep fol lowers. Harry Johnson and Gene Parent are at Shasta via Ashland and Al Smith is a former Glide basketball and baseball star.

Oregon had a huge edge in re bounds, 63-39, but couldn't cope with Washington State's accurate shooting. Oregon's scoring was topped by Charlie rranklin, who hit 14. Oregon started out as if It would roll to victory easily, and held its 24-13 margin with only five min utes left in the first half. But then its shooting accuracy momentarily dropped to nothing and scores by Axelson and Mert Kennedy knotted the score at 24- 24. Big Hal Duffy sank a free throw to put Oregon ahead briefly. Jim Ross, however, drove for a lay-in shortly before the half that gave WSC its halftime lead. After Washington State opened up its 10-point lead in the second half Oregon twice crept close, once at 43-39. Whatever chance Oregon had to pull out a victory faded with the Ducks' frigid shooting In the last two minutes. Oregon's only point in that time was a free throw by Paul Tuchardt.

The vic tories set a ney KU record of 21 wins and one loss during regular season play. The final two games this week were unique in a number of ways. First, the Pels set the new win record while garnering 15 wins to one loss in SOC play. Secondly, Glenn Moore collected 23 points Friday and 17 Saturday to run his career total to a record high of 1,105. Third, the Friday night total of 85 was the Pels highest mark for the season, and fourth, the Peli cans, with the exception of one man, entered Saturday night's ball game trying to recover from an attack of sickness attributed to something they had eaten after Friday's contest. In the Saturday tilt the KU cag ers got off to a slow start, letting the Comets gain the lead three times. During the early stages of the game the Comets led by scores o 5.4 ana n.9, The tlrst quar. fur ended 12-11 for the Pe s. In addition to Saturday night's low scoring, the game was high lighted by erratic passing,, poor Iieln'coal percentages, and an ov erall sub-par performance by both clubs. Glenn Moore, KU nil-staler, was high scorer for the night with 17 tallies: while KU s Bob Nlles and1 (BoAksdbaU $xj)h&A Hy THE AftHOCIATED PRESI Hniurrlay (iimet COU.M.L WEST Colo. Slate Col. 6D.
