The lack of oxygen hasn't bothered all the athletes, but many complain that breathing con ditions here are roughly as invi gorating as those at the bottom of a lake. Friday, for example, after the pairs' figure skating competition, some of the skaters collapsed. Others vomited. Said Oarika Kilius of Germany, who finished second with Hans Baumler: "One week was not enough to gel acclimatized." Nearly all the cross-country ski ers complained of short breath. Sometimes even speed skaters can't get going fast enough lo catch their breath. But they may have less ground for complaint than other athletes. One official said they can go faster in the thin air. This, com bined with excellent ice condi tions, may produce more, fallen records than athletes.

HERALD In the nightcap the Malin Mustangs couldn't get ahead of the Merrill Huskies until late in the third quarter but they managed to hang onto a slim margin despite desperate at tempts by the Huskies to catch up. A shot cast off by Mer rill's Dick Carleton went through the hoop just a fraction of a second late, and Malin was in with a 32-30 triumph In the photos above H&N's Wes Guderian delineates the Cavemen died by the press. Grants Pass left the floor with a halftime advantage of 37 to 2!), and continued to hold an eight to nine point edge well into the third frame. Pulling out of their freeze mid' way in the third quarter, Bishop, Dean Dunson and Gary Patzke be gan to find the range with Bishop doing a top rate guarding job on the hot-shooting Benner, and the Pels pulled to within two points 46 to 48 at the end of the third. Patzke tied the score at 48-all to open the fourth quarter, and a few seconds later converted one of two free tosses to give the Peli cans back the lead they had given up in the second quarter. Don Mclntire put the Cavemen back in front with a two-handcr from out fronl, but Bruce Brick ner pushed one in from beneath to give Klamath a 51-50 edge. Bob Lewis added a charity toss, one of four he countered in the final quarter, but Benner scored on a two-pointer to deadlock the count again at 52-all. Bishop put the Pels in front by converting two free throws, and they steadily pulled away, Brick ner getting a three pointer when he was fouled on a field goal shot. Lewis added two more gift shots and the Pels were holding a big lead at 59-52. A stall game on the part of Coach Dean White's charges put the game on ice in the closing hree minutes, although Benner and Jim Purkelt each broke through to score for Grants Pass. Bishop and Benner divided game scoring honors, each man pouring in 29 points. Patzke and Brickner also hit in double figures for the Pelicans, Patzke at 15 and Brickner 11.

Grants Pass converted seven of 11 in the first half, but received only seven chances in the second, and could convert only two of these. The box score: Grant!
