JANUARY 23. 1953 Klamath Through The "short, snappy workoul" with which Coach Dean White ex pected to greet his Klamath Union Varsity basketball team when they returned to work alter a three day layoff intended to help defeat a pestiferous flu bug, deteriorated Into a completely lustcrless, long, dragged-out aflair on the KU practice court Wednesday afternoon. "I guess they are all feeling too good, now. They are practicing as if they expected both Crater and Ashland to come out on the floor this weekend and make us a gift of both games," commented the disgruntled Pel mentor as he watched his squads loaf through a full-court, game-situation scrim mage. "Maybe they think they got the three days off because they are so good however, I distinctly re member them dropping a miser able 66-48 loss to the Medford bunch only a week ago. I hope I got the correct hat size in those Blocking-caps," gritted White. White purchased stocking caps for each member of the squad and has been doling out vitamin C tablets in an effort to help shake the effects of the colds suffered by the Pels. The team, with the exception of Jim Hall who still has a persis tent cough, seemed to be back to normal so far as their physical Union Cagers Week's First Victory Fives In 15th Year The Klamath Falls Victory League has officially opened ' its 15th consecutive year as a part of the Park and Recreation De partment's winter sports program for boys of high school age not playing on a school team. ' Started during the war years, hence the name Victory League, t h e program has encompassed from eight to 12 teams each year. Currently there are 10 teams in action. They are the Celtics, led by Snulfy Drace, the Tigers of Keith Larson, the DcMolay Blue, Farmers Sand and Gravel, the Wildcats of Charles Jackson, John Hancock's 11 and H five, the Thun derbirds, the Chieftains led by Jim Johnson, the Lost River DcMolays and the DcMolay Gold. The teams, under the direction of an adult coach, compete each Monday, Wednesday and Thursday night in the Mills School gym. A number of the above teams are without sponsors at the pres ent time. The only requirement of a sponsor is that he provide the $25 entry fee and suits for the squad if he should so desire. The suits are optional, most of the players providing their own equip ment. Persons interested In furthering the activity by helping as a spon sor may contact Bob Bonney at the Klamath Kalis Park and Rec reation Department in the city hall or call TU 4-2R63. With the high degree of profi ciency obviously necessary for bas ketball players at the high school level in Klamath rails, the Vic tory League provides an ideal out let for boys who for one reason or another are unable to make the school teams to get a chance to play. capabilities were concerned.

The Honkers are intent on eras ing a smudge on their record; a 48-46 decision claimed by the Wildcats in the closing minutes of I he action when the clubs met the last time in December. The Lakeview quint is fresh from a convincing win over the John Day cagers in one-half of a GOC twinbill in John Day last week end. The Honkers (altered in the third quarter of Friday night's bout with the prospectors and were stopped 46-37. Saturday night however the picture changed con siderably as the Honkers roared back and won going away, 60-35.

A noticeable change In the defensive ability of the Lakeview squad has also been noted over the past two weeks by Hopper and he predicts that the offense will jell into a well-rounded unit by the time they return to conference action.

The Wildcats had a game with the Bly Bobcats canceled last fucsday night. none the worse for his misfortune. "Overconlidence the one thing that you hate to see worse than anything else is the thing that has obviously taken hold of the club. Either that or they are perfectly content to stay in third place in the conference. Whatever it is it won't make much difference third, fourth or filth place in this league and you don t go to the state tournament." said the usu ally affable KU coach with a Irown. '"Psychologically we are in a bad spot. About this time of the season, in any sport, some of the clubs that have been taking it on the chin, meet the teams that arc overrated, and the next thing you know you have an unset on your hands. It's beginning to happen in Portland right now and, , remem ber we have beaten each of the learns in the conference at least once, already.' Of course, we have lost to two of them. See what I mean?" White concluded. The Pelicans (4-21 meet the Cra ler Comets 12-51 on Friday in Cen tral Point then return to Klamath Falls to host the Ashland Griz zlies 1 0-6 1 on Saturday.

Plush Spa Hustles For Golf PALM SPRINGS. Calif. (UPD Plush Palm Springs, which used to advertise "a swimming pool in every back yard," is trying to make the slogan work on golf courses these days. With a summer population of 12,000 and a winter population of about 100.000, there are 12 golf courses in action or in the pro cess of being built. The estimated investment ir these courses is about $10,000.00(1 and another $5,000,000 or more has been poured into club houses, When will the boom end? "There is no end in sight," says Cliff Brown of the Chamber of Commerce. "This weather here is so perfect that it makes the country's greatest winter play ground. This now is the winter golf capital of the world." Most of the courses are on the vedtiy, veddy exclusive side. And most of them are being built with residential lots for sale along the fairways. The choice sand and sagebrush lots sell for from $5,000 to $10.000 and are going about as last as they are staked out With all this boom, one might fear the possibility of over-cxpan sion. Not as lar as l know, says Ernie Dunlcvie, president of the New Bermuda Dunes course "Every course is solvent and making money." MemDersnips in new courses which aren't even built yet sell lor $d00 to $7d0 proprietary mt crest. The wealthy golfers from all over the country snap them up with the nonchalance they might use in purchasing -a pack of cigarettes. Many belong to four or five clubs. Already in business here are the O Donnell, Cochran Ranch Thunderbird, Tamarisk, Indian Wells, Eldorado (site of the 1959 Ryder Cup matches), and Rancho Country Club courses. Bermuda Dunes will be open next month: the Palm Springs Golf Club will be ready for action March 15. Ground has just been broken on the Shadow Mountain Club. Still on the drawing board, but with memberships being sold, are La Quinta and Riveria. The 12 courses are all built on a strip only four miles wide and 17 miles long. There are 607 electric golf carts in action some privately owned, others lor rent. Every other square mile of land in the Palm Springs area is owned by the Caliente Indians. This land hasn't been up for sale until recent years, so large gaps that now are being sold by the Indians go to golf construction projects. The city of Palm Springs has laid out some of the square-mile blocks so that six more golf courses may be constructed in side the city limits. co 80 - 62 and St. uonavcniure. which lost its nine-game unbeaten string last Saturday, started a new one with a i4-5o decision over St. Francis i.NYI.

USC '5' Gets Object Lesson United Press International Southern California's caaers In- day knew the truth of the oft- proven maxim that past perfor mances mean nothing w'hen one team gets hot and the other doesn't. The Trojans lost to the Uni- vcrsity of Hawaii 60-56 in a stun ning upset Wednesday night in Honolulu. USC had defeated the Rainbows by 28 and 30 points hi two pre vious mainland meetings, but with fi-toot-9 To;iy Davis dumping, in 25 points, Hawaii was not to be denied.

In another battle Wednesday night, San Francisco .fell bctore Seattle 80-62, despite the return ol the Dons' brilliant Fred LaCour. LaCour had 10 to lead USF, but Don Ogorek of the Chieftains, who has suddenly blossomed into one of the Coast's top scorers, meshed 15 free throws and 27 points total to dominate play.
