Picking up the loose ends top of our desk and make room for Mr. Basketball other wise known as Winter Madness. Tonight at Pelican Court, Klamath Basin sports fans ' will be treated to one of the best touring basketball shows on the'road today. The Harlem All-Stars will meet the Ore gon Food team of the local City League. These exhibition games are always loaded with laughs and some very fine basketball playing. It would be worth your while to take in the evening's program which starts with a preliminary game at 6:30. This is not the Harlem Globetrotters, but directing the All-Stars is Mr. Trotter himself Goose Tatum, the guy who helped Abe Saper stein make the original Trotters what they are today. Tatum, although slowed down greatly in the last several years from his great days with the Globetrotters, is jtill one of the finest in the business. Vhc youngsters of the area would get a big thrill out of seeing the Goose in person. If you can make it join the Pelican Booster Club in this promotion tonight at' Pelican Court. This may b. the only time a big time touring basketball team ap pears in Klamath this year. From all indications, the original Globe trotters have bypassed this area this year, at least they are not booked to play here and their res ervation schedule is made several months ahead. It was interesting In note the number of out-of-state football players listed for awards at the University of Washington. Which goes to prove that Oregon, Oregon State College and Oregon Tech are not alone as they dip into nonresi dent students for football talents. Varsity letters were presented to SO gridders, eight from outside the state of Washington. And out of 24 frosh letters, 14 were out-of-staters. At least it's nice to know we're not alone. Kingslcy Air Base officials an nounced this week that servicemen stationed here will be represented by what is shaping to be a fine basketball team. As in the past few years the base will have a team entered in the City League. Other games are being sought non-league games and any team In this area interested in meeting the Jets should contact A.l.C. Al Bello at the base, TU 2-4411, exten sion 212. The local Air Force base is mak ing good use of its new gymnasium and a few new transfers. Couching the club this year are Lt. Brien Walters and Lt. Theodore Deaton. Walters played college basketball et San Jose State and Deaton is an ex-Stanford University hoopster. Oregon and other Northwest itates will be receiving a sports ambassador from our country's newest state Alaska. The University of Alaska basket ball team is headed south for some competition against small north' west colleges. And from all indica tions the Polar Bears (a suitable nickname), have a fine club, win ning five of its first six games. Teams the Alaska collegians will meet include Portland University Dietzel Earns Coach Honors NEW YORK (AP)-Paul Diet lei, who in four years as' head coach, built Louisiana State's first all-winning football, team in 50 years, was named today as "Coach of the Year" by his fel low members of the American Football Coaches' Assh. The 34-year-old Dietzel scorefl the greatest sweep in the 24-year history of the award, made by the Scripps-Howard newspapers. Of 618 members of the associa tion who voted in the annual, poll 495 named Dietzel first, second and third. Nearest to him in the balloting was Forest Evashevski of Iowa's Big Ten champion team, Vpo received only 58 votes for iifst place, compared with 312 for Dietzel. I () PUT IT TO THE TEST!

Some day the two pivotmen may meet again should USF and Ore gon ever schedule each other, Other ex-Redding athletes to play ball at USF include Ron Manca sola, the pepper pot basketball guard and baseball shortstop, and big Mike Preaseau, wno is a senior on the Dons' varsity this year. Preaseau is expected to be one of the big guns in the USF attack this year. Mancasola will be seen in action here this weekend.

Pelican Court tonight when R e e c e "Goose" Tatum and his hand picked squad of Harlem Stars play the Oregon Food quintet Game time is 8 p.m. Tatum and his crew of experts combine impromptu ad libs and well-rehearsed comedy routines with enough basketball skill to en able them to defeat such teams as the semi-pro U.S. Plywood quin tet while at the same time keep ing the fans howling at their an tics. The Stars whipped the Plywood- ers 63-44 in Redding Monday night before a capacity crowd. Since leaving the Harlem Globe trotters in 1953 Tatum has collect ed an aggregation of some of the biggest names in cage annals: a team with which he has played some 150 games already this year before an estimated 170.000 fans. Following the completion of a swing through the Northwest, Tat um and his Stars plan an extend ed world tour. In addition to Tatum, Boid Buie (6-7), Andy Shcpard (6-4), Ramon Wilkinson (6-6), Charles (Tinyi Ward (6-0) and Sweetwater Clif ton 6-8). Clifton, an ex-Globetrotter and Detroit Piston, is one of the most famous of the members . of the club. He has been referred to as one of the all-time greats of bas ketball. Ward is termed the world's finest dribbler. Buie, who has only one arm, has proved a sensational player since taking up the game agiin after a crippling auto accident. Shepard and Wilkinson are both veterans of the Harlem Globetrot ters and are highly respected for their abilities.

The last loss absorbed by a Pelican team came at the hands ul the Grants Pass Cavemen, 52 16. in the second of their four 1957 meetings. . Friday night's game sees the KU cagers looking for their 29th win in 30 games. The opener marks the culmina tion of six weeks of practice dur ing which White and assistant, Gene Strchlou. have worked with a number of ditlcicnt player com- oinations in an el I oil to gain the most powerful Pelican squad. Deprived by graduation of the services of Glenn Moore, Dave Rob inson, Bob Nilcs and Tom Ankeny. the IJels are being rebuilt around returnees Bob Peterson (6-4, Smi ley Hcrrera (5-5, Paul Bishop 16-1), Don and Dave Delap both (5-11), Steve Binney (6-0), Bob Drace (6-2), and Jim Hall (6-2) all of whom were members of the state tournament traveling team. Added to this nucleus are Bob Lewis, the tallest man on the club al (6-5), Dean Dunson '60), Don Eastman (6-2). Jim Parks 15-101 Bill Santo (6-3) and Ron Olvera 15-9). Their opponents for the opener, the Millers, who are led by coach Bill O Neal, were also a state tour nament team last year but were dropped by the wayside, emerging with a 12th place finish. Like the Pelicans, the Millers are also undergoing a rebuilding process having lost the services of all but three lettermcn, Ron Kel- fo, Don Johnson and Larry King Noticeably missing from the Mil ler roster are Wally Knccht, Dick Manmla and Kick Herman, main stays of the 58-59 team who were graduated last June. The balance of O Neal s squad is headed by Larry Rice, Bill Karp, Mike MacMahon and Clem Herman, all of whom moved up Irom the Jv s. The Millers have a one game ad vantage over the Pelicans, expe rience-wise, having tested their strength and found it wanting against Willamette (Eugene) a week ago yesterday. The Millers lost by 56-53 count. No nlayer on the Springfield team is taller than 6-1, a fact that will make them depend on accurate shooting and sharp ball-handling if they expect to win their share of games against their 58-59 compe tition.
