THE TOURNAMENT KUND PELS scrimmaged among themselves on the KU court Thurs
day as they waited for their starting tourney chores against Beaverton. 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."

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

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

Rookie, Rigney Fan Rumors
Of Giant, Redleg Trading
'.. 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.

The 10-game tournament will
wind up with the championship
game at 8:45 p, m. Saturday.
The tournament was moved here

bleachers have been added in Me

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.
