Begin Be feme
SOC Cnvm In Ashland Tonight
ASHLAND The Klamath Un
ion Pelicans, undefeated in six
games, opens what is expected to
be one of the closest Southern
Oregon Conference battles of re
cent years here tonight when the
Ashland Grizzlies, also sporting a
6-0 non-league record, host them
in the opening game of league
competition.
The Pelicans will be home to
Grants Pass Saturday night to
meet the defending state cham
pion Cavemen. Grant Pass plays
Medtord tonight which could be a
blessing in disguise for the While,
birds.
This is expected to be one of
the toughest battles in many years
for the Southern Oregon Confer
ence crown. Medford is rated
strong for the title with Grants
Pass rated the contender spot
and with the Pelicans, Ashland
and Crater all very close. Any
team could slip in with some luck
and all-out effort. Crater is given
the dark horse role.
The predominantly senior KU
club is a slight favorite tonight
to win its first comerence game.
Ashland is a coming club which
also is virtually a senior team. But
the Grizzlies haven't won a con
ference game in three years.
Thus, they are hungry and will
be out for revenge and will be
tough to beat on their home
court.
There are three unbeaten clubs
in the league going into conference
action. There will be only two
after tonight. Crater draws a bye
and is the other undefeated club
besides KU.anrl Ashland. One of
those will not be unbeaten after
tonight.
Coach Al Keck of KU said that
he scouted Ashland a.id says his
crew will have to play good ball
to beat the Grizzlies. But he is
optimistic about the chances of
the Pelicans.
Keck probably w'll go with his
usual lineup. Fred Kelley will
open at center. The 6-5 center is
the leading scorer with 73 points
(or a 12.2 average. Wayne Cham
berland -will go at one forward.
He is the leading rebounder with
67, far ahead of the rest of his
mates, and also has 59 points for
a 9.8 average.
Dick Scott will be at the other
forward. This 6-1 Pelican has one
of the best shooting averages on
the team. He has hit 21 of 46
fielders for a 45.7 average. Cham
berland is the best with 21 of 39.
Scott has a 9.3 point average
per game.
The two guards will be Hal
Holman and Grover Dahn. Hol
man has a 7 8 average and is
hitting at a 43.6 percentage from
the field. Dahn has 30 points for
a 5-0 average.
Two others who could start and
definitely will see a lot of action
are .sophomore Terry Ash at a
forward and Lanny Guyer at
guard. Guyer is a fine play
maker and Ash is a top rebounder.
Ashland probably will go with
6-5 center Jim Lamb who is the
leading scorer on a well-balanced
team. The Grizzlies have beaten
Fortuna, Calif., twice, Shasta o!
Redding twice and Class A-2 Phoe
nix twice.
Todd Hess and Dab Tcpper w ill been in the past seasons. Others
open at forwards and they are 6-1 who may see action tonight are
each. The guards will be Rick Mike Cotton. John Polk. Jeff
Pierce and Gregg Lindley whoTrost, Howard Johnson and Gale
bolh stand about 5-11. Tepper.
The bench strength at Ashland Ashland is virtually an all-senior
is better this year than it has club, also.

lost two games and each appears
to have about an equal shot at
the Big Six crown and the NCAA
berth that goes, with it.
The two surprise powers, Cali

meet this weekend at Berkeley.
UCLA, rated fifth in the nation,
is at Washington.
The Cal-Trojan pair Is the big

Allen Young have carried Troy
to a 10-2 mark.
California is 8-2, including an
overtime win over Seattle and a
one win, two lost record against
Oregon State in three games
played In Oregon. Center Camden
Wall, a 6-foot-10 pivot man, and
guard Dick Smith give California
a diversified attack.
UCLA could use two wins over
Washington, but Washington is
always tough at home. The Bruins
ire led by guard Walt Hazzard

Forward Ed Corrcll is a good
one for the Huskies.

All-Conference performer "Sweet"
Sammy Smith, host the Portland;
Stale Vikings tonight and Satur
day night in the Owl Gym in the
opening gamc6 of the Oregon Col
legiate Conference competition.
The Owls are defending cham
pions and the addition of. Smith
to the roler insures the Owls of
a better chance at retaining the
coveted crown. Smith has been
back only a week after missing
the first semester because of fi
nancial difficulties and missed the
first nine games.
The 6-6 center returns to add to
his building laurels. He was the
leading scorer and rebounder last
year and the year before. He was
the ninth leading scorer in the
Pacific Northwest last season with
496 points and a 19.1 average per
game for 26 games.
His addition will give the Owls a
well-balanced attack. He joins jun
ior college transfer Willie Ander
son, another high jumper on a 6-5
frame who presently leads the
Owls in scoring with 161 points in
the nine non-conference contests
for a 17.9 average. Hewlett Nash,
the little guard, has 129 points
and a 14.3 average while the other
guard, Van Zitck, is right on his
heels with 128 points and a like

The Owls will be looking for
their fifth victory. They presently
