EUGENE- (Special) Lakcview
athletic director and football
coach Howard Hopper announced
Saturday that Lakevicw High
School had been transferred from
District 7A-2 to District 6A-2 ef
fective December 1, 1960. 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

Herald 4 News Sports Editor
EUGENE ( Special )-Thc Klam
ath Union Pelicans won third place
in the 42nd annual Oregon A 8 bas
ketball tournament with the most
dramatic, spine-tingling finish seen
during the big five day classic.
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.

jured finger, "Who am I the most

ouldn't have gotten into the over
bite unless Paul had shot like he
did during the game.
And of course we would have
been completely out in the cold
Palmberg hadn't saved our
necks with that two points. Wasn't
it a beauty? The must thrilling

Probably the most happy man
the stands Saturday night was
Wally Palmberg. senior, an ex-
Oregon stale all-American now
coaching at Oregon Tech. The ci
der Palmberg. who as an Astoria
High School star had been named
a tournament all-star team in
the 1932 stale prep clvsic, had
movie camera trained on the
rategic spot, when his son scored
the vital two-piintcr.
It wns never an ettsy ball game
for the Pelicans. In the opening.
anza they saw a 13-4 lead dwin
dle in three minutes to a 22-19 first
quarter finale.
In the second quarter the hus
tling Saxons, who controlled the
backboards 47-43 over the taller
Pel squad caught up with them
at 22-all with 6:36 left in the half.
Led by guards Jay Brack and
Chuck itudkens who scored 26 and
18 points respectively in the test,
the South Salem quint were ahead
36-34 by the halfway mark.
Brack and Hudkcns conlimtrd
their pace in the third and John
King, who finished with Ccn points,
added his shot-making ability to
the act, and when there was 2:09
left they were out front 54-47.
Here the Pels started their vic
tory march.
