A courageous band of KU Peli
cans booted a nine point lead,
dropped 10 points behind, then
came battling back for a hard
earned 68 to 59 triumph over the
Cavemen at Grants Pass Friday
night.
Klamath grabbed the lead when
Paul Bishop canned a jumper with
the game just three seconds old.
The Pels held a 16 to 11 first
quarter advantage.
With Bishop still hitting from
the outside, the Pels pulled away
to a nine point edge at 22 to

to victory.
However, a fired up band of
Cavemen came rattling back with
Clyde Murray netting two free
tosses, and the Grants Pass club
throwing a well-handled full press
against the Pels that cost them
three quick baskets, two by Rex
Benner and one by Larry Jans
sen to trim the lead to just one at
22-21.
A (ree toss by Janssen tied it
up at 22-all, and with Benner scor

air at the site of the Winter
Olympics is so thin that a good
wind will blow only a quarter of
a mile before it dies of anemia.
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.

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.
Free tosses played a big role
in the ball game. Klamath could
hit only one of five in the first
half, but sharpened up to sink 13 of
17 tries in the second. 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.
