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

What promises to be one of the
weirdest exhibitions of basketball
buffoonery ever seen in Klamath
Falls is scheduled for . 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

In addition to Tatum, Boid Buie

Wilkinson (6-6), Charles (Tinyi
Ward (6-0) and Sweetwater Clif

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.

In addition to their role as de
fending kingpins of the state prep
basketball scene, this year's Pel
quad is also charged with extend
ing a consecutive win string of 14
Samcs. 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. Pistols
