Hopper received confirmation of the trans fer at a meeting with the Oregon School Activities Association board of directors Saturday morning. The Lakcview school made ap plication for the transfer when it was learned that Moro and Hepp ner, who are moving up from a "B" classification into the A-2 bracket, were being included in District 7. Hopper said that the request had been rtode of the association be cause of the extensive travel and the inherent dangers involved with the addition of the two northern schools. Some charncs will be necessary in the coming football season, Hop per said, because the school would be obviously unable to fulfill exist ing two year contracts. Lakeview's new affiliates in Dis trict 6 include Glendale, Phoe nix, Henley, Itogue Kiver, r,agic Point, Cave Junction and Illinois Valley. DO YOU NEED THIS? YOU DO ...

Wilh one second left on the clock and store standing 67-65 for South Salem, junior guard Wally Palm berg brought dow n tint house when he uncorked his cross-over layup and scored the two points thirti sent the bitter battle into a three minute overtime. Another junior, big Bruce Brick ner coolly stepped to the foul line with 1:54 to go in the extra period and sank both shots to give the Whitebirds a 69-67 lead. Fourteen seconds later guard Dean Dunson stole the ball from the frantic Sax ons and signalled for a time out. When lime was in again the Pels started a 20 second stall that cul minated when senior Paul Bishop. the Pel's high man, drove for a layup that made 71-67 for the Pelicans. With 47 seconds to go Bishop canned a pair of free toss es that gave the KU club all they needed to withstand the frustrated South Salciiiites' efforts. Saxon Loren Seitz jumped in two points with 20 seconds left but Ihe los ers never again got their hands on the ball. Senior guard Steve Binncy was the one who set up the climactic finale. Coming into the ball game at the opening of the third quar- ter with his club on the short end of a 54-49 score Binncy calmly went to work and scored a two bander from the left front court, followed up with two free shots eight seconds later - and then hit two more from the foul line to ivc the Pels a 55-54 lead with 38 led in the regular play pe- iod. In the next 4 minutes and 35 iccorlds the lead changed hands 12 times. With 1:03 left to go, Bishop lost the ball when he thought he heard the referee's whistle and South Salem had the hall and a one point 66-65 lead With 56 seconds left Dunson fouled Seitz while trying to recover the ball. Seitz made it 67-65 by sink ing the single shot. Bishop fouled Ed Maerz, who had set a tourna ment record at the foul line the day before, but this time Maer missed. The Pels got hold of the ball with 7 seconds to go and the place went wild as young Palm berg started his spectacular scor ing lunge. In the dressing room after the game absolute pandemonium reigned as a mob of faithful Peli can rooters, alternately crying and laughing, swarmed over their he roes in their joy.
