games in league, one to Southern

A pair of victories over the1
Wolves here would all but sew
up the third straight league cham

games finish the first round for
the league and the Owls would
have to fall flat on their faces
the second half to lose the
title and that isn't likely. The

To Fight
PITTSBURGH H'PD - Charlie
Powell, who forsook all other ath
letic endeavors to make one final
push ui the boxing game, gets his
big chance tonight when he meets
third-ranked heavyweight Cassius
Clay.
A record local indoor crowd is
expected to view the fight, sched
uled for 10 rounds or less.
Both Clay and Powell predict it
will be for less.
The 29-ycar-old Powell, who has
had only 32 fights since turning
pi-o nine years ago, sees a vic
tory in five. Clay has forecast a
three-round kayo.
Powell, who has seen duty as
a professional football and base
hall player, has declared himself
to be in the "greatest shape ol
my career." He prepared for the
fight by sparring 78 rounds during
a two-month training period.
Clay, who turned pro after w in
ning the Olympic title in 1!)60, is
undefeated in 16 fights, including
13 kayoes. He paraded through 10
fights last year and won seven
of those by knockouts.
Powell, conversely, fought only
three times in 12. He stopped
Jerry Gaines in two rounds, was
counted out in three against John
Riggins and decisioncd Dave
Furch in 10. His overall record
is 23-6-3. He has won 17 by knock
outs and has been knocked out
live times.
Clay's biggest victory to dale
has been a four-round kavo of
Archie Moore. Powell's most note
worthy win came when he flat
tened Nino Valdez in eight rounds
in 10."8. Valdez at that time was
the No. 2 ranked contender.
The Pittsburgh Dapper Dan
Club co-promoter of the fight at
the Civic Arena, said it may draw
9.000 spectators and a gale of
5,10.000. The indoor high here

For Loss Revenge
Cavemen Looking
The Klamath Union Pelicans go
to Grants Pass Friday night for
a game with the Southern Oregon
Conference league-leading Cave
men and return home Saturday
night for another tough match
against the Medford quintet in a
pair of must games for the Peli
cans. The Pelicans are presently in
third place in Uie league with a
3-2 record. The Whitebirds hold
the only victory over the Cavemen
and they will likely be out for
blood to revenge their only league
loss. The Pelicans whipped the
Cavemen on Telican Court, 43
37. (rants Pass leads the league
with a 4-1 record while Craler is
in second with a 3-1 mark, hav
ing played one less game. Med
ford trails the Pelicans in fourth
place w ith a 2-3 record and Ash
land is winless in five games.
The Pelicans lost In an overtime
to Craler, 59-57. and lo Medford.
44-35.
The Grants Pass game should
be a thriller. The Cavemen prob
ably haven't forgotten the defeat
they suffered here. Tile t avemen.
defending slate champions, have
improved since the last contest
and have dropped bolh Medford
and Crater in big games.
The Pelicans need both these
weekend victories to gel back into
serious contention for the cham
pionship. The Pels have a 9-2
record for the season and Grants
Pass an 8 3, mark
Die Al Keck-coached learn of
Whitebirds has Ihe best defensive
mark in the league, having al
lowed only 220 points in the five
games for an averace of 44 points

have the nevl to last poorest offen
ivo record in the books with
nnlv 21'fi scorci lor an average
of 4.'i 2 per scullle
The Pelicans si ill have four

Dick Scott is loth with 1(12 point

Hal Ilnlman follows Scotl in
11th spot with 117 points and an
88 average and Wayne Cham
berland is only a point behind
with ins and an 87 mean. This
is good balance but they need
some added scoring strength.
Guard Grovor Dahn has started
to supply some of thai. The senior
guard tallied 11 and 12 pninls re
soctivcly in the last two games
and has come alive on defense
and has started In show the lead

and this has given Ihe learn a lift.
