Tracy's basket from outside the Owl defenses broke open the tie game and put the Crusaders ahead tor keeps. Northwest Nazarene held an 11 point, 43-32 cushion at halftime. At the start of the second half, Gene Oberg, former Roseburg (Oregon) high school standout, swished two straight field goals through from close in and Bob Peppley pumped home four more goals from the field as the Nampa Crusaders were off and running.

There is no action scheduled for the KU quintet on Friday, Coach Dean White had termed the Whitebird debut in conference play, "one of the most important series we will face one that could mean a state tournament berth," prior to the Friday meet ing with Grants Pass; indicating perhaps that the GP club was to have been the lesser of the two opponents, while unbeaten Medford seemed to be the most probable stumbling block, if there had to be one. The Cavemen, however: felt dif ferently about the situation and proceeded to deal the Pelicans their lumps in spile of a brand new, experimental offensive un leashed by the KU squad. On Saturday. White and the Peli cans shelved the new offense, went back to their old style of ball and smashed the vaunted Medford team, thus salvaging their conli- dence and getting themselves off to a running start, a day late, for the remainder of conference ac tion. The Pelicans will face Medford and Grants Pass each three times more before tournament time ar rives. They will meet Grants Pass there on January 17 and Medford here on January 23.
