Coach Don Me 'feale, upon viewing the practice, expressed concern, stating, "Up until tonight the boys have been working hard and looking good. This afternoon I am extremely disappointed in the efforts of the first five. They are not displaying the 100 per cent team effort that they will have to give in order to win the state chimpionship. I sincerely hope they are not overlooking the importance and difficulty of the job facing them." JlTBARKS bites is By WAYNE SCOTT State 'B' Tilt Opens PENDLETON UFi The 24th an nual Oregon class B high school basketball tournament opens at Pendleton Thursday afternoon. Harrisburg and Yoncalla were to start the meet at 2:45 p. m. and Enterprise and Star of the Sea of Astoria was scheduled for a 45 p. m. game. Night games pitted Sisters against Jefferson at 7:30 p. m. and Stanfield against Talent at 8:45 p. m. Elkton, the 1957 champion, is not back to defend. Enterprise and Talent take per fect records into the meet. Enter prise is 26-0. Talent 20-0. Jefferson and Sisters are the only returnees from last year. 57-44 The KU Pelicans, district 6-A-l first team entry in the state tour nament at Eugene will face Bea verton at a.m., Wednesday. March 19, in the opening round of Uie nve day meet. In preparation for the early morning session the Pelicans, in addition to their dally hard prac tice scrimmages have met on the KU court in one morning work out and have another scheduled for l:3fi a.m. this coming Saturday. Practice has stressed all funda mentals plus hard work on fast break offense and zone defense. Each workout has been comprised of brief, fast moving drills capped with short scrimmages. According to coach Don Megale. whose charges have been forced to competitive inactivity since March 1, "The boys look real sharp; we feel that the forced rest has done them no harm." Southern Oregon Conference play ended for the state-ranked number one team with double victories over the Crater Comets February 28 and March 1. The luck of the schedul ing draw dictated a bye for the Pels during the closing week of SOC action, With an overall season record of 22-won. Most, the Pelicans notched a 15-1 record for conference ac tivity. Their only defeat came at the hands of the Grants Pass Cave men in the second meeting of their first series, by a score of 52-46, The return series on the Pels home floor saw them gain vengeance by counts of 70-61 and 58-29. The Grants Pass club closed their SOC activity with a double win over Ashland in games played on both home courts. The victories, which gave the Cavemen a con ference mark of 9-won. 7-lost. gar nered them the right to enter the state meet as the number two rep resentative from district 6-A-l. The Cavemen meet Astoria at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday. March 19, in the opening round of the tournament. In the second round of tourna ment play the winner of the Klam ath Falls-Beaverton test will meet the winner of the Roosevelt-North Salem game at 4:15 Thursday aft ernoon. The winner of the Grants Pass- Astoria contest will face the victor of the Grant-Corvallis game at 8:45 Thursday, March 19.

How will the Pelicans do at the state tournament in Eugene? This is, without a doubt, the top sport question on the local scene today! Or if you think about it for a Jefferson trimmed sisters . . - . !(. ..,; ,u;...l i .i ,t moment,, not just necessarily local! Chances are it is a big question in the minds of a Mr. Wilson and a number of Beaverton fans . . . and Mr. McCalJ and his Grant associates. There are others . . . Springfield, Franklin, or Roose velt and about 10 more assorted schools who would give a lot to be able to peer in some (favorable) crystal ball for an answer. It is only natural for the Pels and their coach to be a bit apprehensive and nervous. They might well take courage, though, from the fact that if they think they are nervous . . . how about the clubs that have to meet them?! Our phone has rung a number of times with (out of town) re quests for pre-tourney dope on the Pelicans and it has been with pardonable pride that we have re counted their deeds. Each school attending the tour nament has a thing or two in com mon. They are all nervous, and they all want to win. Much of the similarity stops here, however. Few of the other entrants have M o o r e s, Petersons, Robinsons, Miles, etc. on the same team. Unfortunately, the only Klamath County entrant in the State B tournament at Pendleton Is from the Klamath County Basketball Of ficials Association. It's unfortunate for Klamath Couaty In that Al Keck and his Merrill Huskies missed out It's a good break however, for the competing teams, since genial Jim Bocchl, the banker who dons a referee suit regularly, was In vited to officiate his third stale tournament. This fact speaks very well for Jim's ability and reputa tion built In his eight years of calling 'em! The Pendleton assignment marks his second trip to B action and he has handled the state A l tourney at Eugene once. w Now that the local basketball ac tion has nearly run its course it is only fitting that we make mention of those who have worked so hard to make sure that a tremendous number of youngsters of all ages got an opportunity to play, regard less of ability. A few of those who deserve thanks are: Joe Peak, for his ef forts on behalf of the grade jchool ers; Bob Bonney, for his help and direction in the Victory League: Paul Campbell, for his work with the Y.MCA-Church League, and the directors of the City League. the best ever, both financially and otherwise. While the focal point of atten tion at Klamath Union is neces sarily the basketball team at this particular stage, there is a hardy group braving our ungentle spring weather in a determined effort to make sure that the next group of champs to emerge will be the track team. i Coach Len Surles welcomed the largest turnout of "thinclads" he lias seen during his long tenure at the school. The weather not withstanding the KU speedsters will host Eugene and Springfield in the first meet of the season on March 29, on Modoc Field. to win third place -in the 1957 meet The 10-game tournament will wind up with the championship game at 8:45 p, m. Saturday. The tournament was moved here from Bend, the 1957 site. Extra bleachers have been added in Me morial Armory to permit seating ot 3.000 fans. The .many standout players awaiting action include Jeffer son's Phil Hochspeier. an -all-tour.- nament choice last year. He has averaged. 18 points a game thif season. Star of the Sea's standout is Greg Moore, a forward who set a school scoring record for the sea son with 488 points. Guard Gary Marr of Enterprise enters the tournament with a sea son record of 495 points in 19 games for a 26.1 average. His scoring mark is the highest of any tournament player. Harrisburg brings guard Jim Weike. who scored 316 points in 22 games. Phil Combs of Talent comes here with a 19 point a game aver By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A pair ot home runs by a rookie Cincinnati catcher and a state ment by San Francisco Manager Bill Rigney fanned rumors today that a trade was in the making between the Redlegs and Giants. Rigney, at Phoenix, Ariz., said he was sending' scout Tom Shoe- lian to Florida to look into some deals which simmered several weeks ago. Sheehan will be based at Tampa, Cincinnati's training camp. Dutch Dotterer, a hard-hitting backstop up from Nashville of the Southern Assn., may help swing the deal. Dotterer slammed two home runs as the Redlegs downed the Detroit Tigers 9-7. The UiantB, admittedly weak De- hind' he plate, have made offers for big Ed .Bailey, the Redlegs No. 1 receiver. They may be glad to settle for Smoky Burgess, the No. 2 man who would be the first stringer for several other big league clubs. Burgess probably will be made available if Dotterer (.303 with 79 RBIs last year) continues his ro bust hitting.
