Keck Experiments
In Rough Contest
By JERRY WAGGONER
Herald and News Sports Editor!
The Klamath Pelicans raced to
their fifth successive victory
without a loss on Pelican Court
here Friday night behind t h e
scoring of Fred Kelley and Wayne!
Chamberland to down the Bend
Lava Bears. 63-49. in a non-con
ference basketball game. The
same two teams met in Bend
Saturday night.
The Pelicans showed more hus
tie than in past games and at
times looked very good. But they
still had some lapses and threw
the-ball away 21 times during
the course of action while Bend
tossed it away 12 times.. The
game was sloppy at times but
many things helped cause that.
Coach Al Keck used virtually
everyone suited up for the game
except a couple of boys to experi
ment and give them experience
and the play got somewhat rag
ged with the different boys in
the game and not quite used to
playing as a unit. And the game
just got downright rough at times.
I wanted them to get a touch
of the rough tactics before league
play opens," Keck said. "I
thought the boys looked better
in some places in this game and
they did hustle better," he said.
The Pels did hustle better and
it showed up a little more. Bend.
however, wasn't the toughest
team to be played. They were bad
enough to a point to make any
team playing against them look
equally bad. That had a great
deal to do with some of the
sloppiness.
Big Fred Kelley came out on
his best scoring binge of the
season as did Wayne Chamber-
land. Kelley split the nets for
20 points, the high for any Pel
this season, and Chamberland
dunked 16 points, mostly from
right under the bucket. He also
fouled out.
Keck still isn't satisfied with
Kelley's rebounding. Kelley got
only six rebounds for the night
although he started the game off
by grabbing most of them in the
early minutes of the game. Cham
bcrland again led the rebounders
with seven but that is far below
his usual quota.
There was also some praise due
for a sophomore and a fresh
man who saw a lot of action. Ter
ry Ash, although he couldn't find
the range of hitting the basket,
still played a good floor game
and hauled in six rebounds. The
freshman, a good prospect. Bob
Moore, hit his only field shot and
got five rebounds. Both, despite
their youth and inexperience.
showed themselves to have cool
heads under pressure and that
they don't get pushed around.
Keck had his lineup mixed with
different players so much that
it was difficult to determine who
was playing better with which
unit. Hal Holman. a starter, did
not play a great deal but hit
two of his three field shots. Dick
Scott, who was third high for the
Pels with It points, hit four of
seven from the field for good
percentage but had trouble from
the charity line where lie
missed his first (our attempts
and hit on the last three.
The game was never in doubt
The Pelicans jumped to a 16-4
lead behind Kcllcv and Chamber-
land and held the Bears to only-
one field goal in the first period
The Bears were having to force
their shots from the outside of
KU's tight zone. Every time they
got in close enough to shoot, the
Pelicans were blocking a great
percentage of them with Kelley
and Ash doing most of the dam
ace there.
The Bears came hack somewhat
in the second period to score 11
points but the Pels hit for 13 and
a 29-15 halftime lead. The Peli
cans jumped all the way to a
20-point lead in the third quarter
by taking a 55-35 lead.
Rut then some of the Lava
1
(WW
Perfect for th1
8 SEASON
Bears' long ones finally began
to drop and they cut the margin
a slight bit and even oulscored
the Pels in the final quarter.
17-16.
Ted Petersen led the Bears w ith
12 points and Gary McKinney
pitched in 11 for the only ones in
double figures.
The Pelicans hit 25 of 53 field
shots for a great 47.2 percentage.
The Pelicans have been hitting
from the field well all season
and are shooting over 40 per cent
as a team. And that's good for a
high school team. The Bears hit
19 of 50 for 38 per cent which
is respectable, especially consider
ing the horrible start they got.
Neither team especially burned
the nets up from the charity
line. KU hit 12 of 23 for 52.2
per cent and Bend connected on
11 of 23 for 47.8 per cent.
Keck and the team expected a
real battle, in the strictest sense
of the word Saturday night. The
game almost got out of hand near
the end Friday night and tempers
were flaring. The Bears might
have had the rough end of things
on their side Saturday night on
their home court.
