moments in the first half when

the South to a 3.1-27 victory over

came on a four yard run by

sharp outside shooting. They
poured in 16 points in the third
quarter while the Pel offense sput
tered and scored only eight,, six
of those by Dirk Scott.
Grants Pass kept chipping
away at the Whilebird lead and
finally took over the lead for. the
first time at 37 to 36 with only
1:02 left to play in the game. Mar
ty Bauer slipped In with a two
pointer from underneath to give
them their only lead of the game. v
Moving into the final minute of
play, the Pels traveled, giving
p the ball and then Larry Binney
louled Boh Shepard with 42 sec-
londs remaining.
Shepard missed the gift shot
and the Pels got the ball. Call
ing time with 36 seconds left, the
Pels moved in looking for an
opening and Scott slipped under
neath for two and made it a three
pointer when he was fouled on
the shot by Gary Reddick. The
Pels led .19 to 37.
The Cavemen became desperale
in the closing seconds but Jim
Pippin fouled Hal Holman in a
scramble for a rebounding shot,
and Holman swished both charity
tosses to put the game beyond
doubt at 41 to 37.
Final scoring came when Pip

Chamberland and he converted
two shots for the final total of
43 to 37.

Grants Pass 12.
The Whilehirds rolled away to
an easy lead in the first quarter
