Japanese wresttlere ' PefeaS Scrappy Ms 21 , By JERRY WAGGONER Hprald and Newi Sports Editor The Japanese National High School All-Star wrestlers came to town Wednesday to wrestle the Klamath Union team with pres tige. They left with even more prestige and honors, hut they knew they had been in a battle yben the bouts were over. . The Japanese team defeated the Pelicans, with the addition o one Hornet from Henley, 27-3, in con vincing style with some classic moves for high school wrestlers, the speed of striking rattlesnakes and centuries of wrestling savvy. The fights drew n packed housoiand in which en estimated 1,500 squeezed into Pelican Court, stood around the fringes of the court and sat in aisles to watch the stylish Japanese perform. This was the final match on the 18-match tour which lasted 25 days. The Japanese team won all 18 team matches and had only six individual losses on the tour. Three of the Japanese grapplers finished the tour undefeated. They were Y, Tobita, A. Sato and S. Sakai. Hut the Pelicans gave them a run for their money with a line up which included two boys who generally wrestle for the Jayvees one grappler from Class A-2 Henley. Tom Miles, tile 13A-XHind dyna mo from KU, was the only victor of the night. He nulled out a 4-2 decision over S. Haraikawa with a takedown and an escape for his four points while the All star got only an escape. Coach Delance Duncan was proud of the way his Pelicans (ought the Japanese. "Their coach said that our kids were tougher than most they met," Duncan re lated. The Japanese coach said that Klamath Falls, Grants Pass and the Portland All-Stars were the three toughest and that they all were about tlie same. It must be remembered, how ever, that the Japanese are na- tional champions and they wres tie three to four hours a day and have as many as 80 matches per year. They began this tour ith a total combined record of 340 matches and only six losses. S. Sakai, who was one of the three undefeated on this tour, de feated John Stilwell in the opening 123-pound match. Stilwell usually wrestles on the second unit behind Grant Humphreys. Sakai got three takedowns and an escape to beat the KU boy, 5-1. Humphreys was in the 130-pound division, one step above his usual weight event. He lost a 4-1 deci sion to M. Nakai. Humphreys' only point was a penalty point r 41 M ' J 33 at ... ( t . ..: ' - ' 5 9. "..W -i ft. ' r -'-.. .'

He didn't get Pelican Court which the Japanese team won, 27-3. Henley's Top Ranked Hornets Tackle Rogue River, Eagle Point Henley's Hornels finally made the grade, Now they've got to play every game like a championship contest because the pressure will be on them. The Hornets were named as tho top Class A-2 bas ketball team in the state this week after defending champion riensant Hill dropped a contest to Elmira. The Hornets will be' hard pressed to live up to this task because they will he put to a stern tost Saturday night against de fending league champion Kagle Point. Hie Hornets beat them gnly one point in an earlier game on the Kagles home court. Hut the Hornets had better not overlook their Friday night con lest with Rogue River which seems to have found the winning formula lately by downing their last two opponents, Sacred Heart and surprising Phoenix. Other games find lkeview, (he third place team in the tough Rogue league, at home Friday night against that same Eagle Point crew which handed It a one-point loss early in the sea son. This battle may take some of the starch out of the F.agles for Henley Saturday night. The Honkers could jump into a tie for second should thry heat the Kagles and thry will have tfic home court advantage. The Honk ers swap opponents with Hrnley r, 7 s h J-1" .. I- -' Saturday night, too, and will host Uoguc Hivcr. Sacred Heart's basement-dwelling Trojans will he at Illinois Valley Friday night trying to shake (ill a six-game losing slrrax and will come hack home Satur day night for a contest against St. Mary's. The Hornets had onlv one game last week hut that one w a s enough. The stale's top ranked team had to go an overtime to beat the soprismgly strong Lake- view quintet on the Honkers' home court. The Hmnets finallv won, (il-.V). It also was one of their lowest scoring games. They are 1.1-0 for the vear. Coach Jerry Johnson will have his usual lineup in the Rogue River game. It will consist of the league's leading scorer and reliounder Kent Gooding, forwards Earl Allhritton and Mike Beymer inn guards Ix'V'oy Young and Steve Helling Gooding, although held to his lowest output of the season against Uikeview with 13 (mints, is hit ling at a 5.Y2 average per game He has l."4 ioints in five of the six Henley games. He missed one game because of illness and has a 22.1 average lor the 13 games with 2ix points. His scoring real !y began to spread out uhen league play began. Hevmer, although he fell in the standings, is fifth among IragiirJ tally makers with IIVi points for a fine 15 0 average. And Allhrit ton is right on his heels with 9.1: point and a 13 3 average, good enough lor seventh position. The two fine forwards were aided in the scoring department last week: when the Honkers sagged on Good ing and left them open a lot Young, the other starter, is Wh among the top 55 with tC! points and an 8 it average. l.;ikei irw 's l-any S.ini!cs took the solliglit in the Henley game last weekend. He hit lor his sea son's high of 31 points to pull hack into thud place among the top scorers. He has ILM Hnnls for j a 17 7 average. Joining their male liom Lukrvunv in the Ion 25 are Dennis Warren with 88 points and a 12.6 average in ninth and Dan leahy in 10th smt with 8T points and a 12.3 mean. Fred Williams moved into the top 23 with 51 points for a 7.3 average. The chief threat to Gooding's scoring championship is one who will he matching shots with him Saturday night. He is Charles Pomcroy of Eagle Point. He has l-tfi points in one more game than Gooding for a 20 9 average. He could conceivably pass Hie big Henley center this weekend hut he has a tougher schedule than the big Hornet. Kagle Point also has the sixth leading scorer in Mil liard Short with loo points and a 14 3 average and Wilbur Roatwrighl in 12lh spot with 7S marker and a 10 9 average. The Hornels will lie favored In both their games Rogue River will probably send a lineup of Mike O'Brien. Tom Davidson. Joe Salter. Larrv Snefstrom and Powell against them. The prob. able Kagle lineup will he Pnmer iv. Short, Boatright, John I.inder and John Whalcv. Uikeview probably will go with Samples. Warren. Iahy, Wil. ams and Vein Plato agaist the above mentioned two teams. Sacred Heart will take on Illi nois Valley and SI. Mary's with a probable starting unit of Pete Kink. Dick Miller. Marv David. Jim Korsen and Mike Martinez. Krnk and Miller ilh made giant steps into the top 25 scorers with good games last weekend. Krok is I3th with 71 points for a fine 10 8 mean and Miller has 5fi lor a 93 average. while the foe got a takedown and reversal. Then Miles won the only match of the night which had the crowd 'in its feet and applauding his ellorts. He scored one of the two takedowns the KU wrestlers cored in. the eight matches and added a reversal for his four points while Haraikawa got two-point reversal. Ron Head dropped a well-fought 3-0 decision to T. Shinjo in the 141-pound event. Shinjo had an es cape and a takedown for the three (mints.. Henley's Chuck Milanovich scrapped but was no match for Y. Tobita in the 148-pound class. Tobita has never been beaten in his life. Time and again Milano vich squirmed out of pin situa tions but ran out of gas and was finally pinned with 16 seconds re maining in the match. He was be hind on points, 11-2. Then came what was probably the best bout of the card. Ron Hitchcock lost a heartbreaker to A. Sato in the 157-pound division in the last 30 seconds of the bout. Hitchcock showed the Japanese some of their own maneuvers and jumped to a 5-4 lead w ith 33 sec onds left in the match when his efforts had just about robbed him of all his stamina. Sato got a one point takedown to even the match at 5-5. His pressing kept Hitch cock moving to try and salvage a -Ar tie but he caught up with the gutty Pelican and gained two points as the buzzer sounded for a predicament and the 7-5 win. The crowd really appreciated this bout. Sato has been beaten only once in his life. Ben Gonzales was a last day substitution in the 168 - pound event. Bob Daulton was to wrestle there but had to move up to the 178-pound bracket because the Japanese didn't want Thurston Henzel, who weighs about 210, to go against their lighter boy. Gon zales was pinned by S. Endo in 3:45 while trailing 5-0. Bob Daulton closed out the matches with a good attempt but it wasn't enough against S. Ma buchi and he was pinned in 8:40. cates how hard they are to take Mabuchi was ahead by 5-2 when down which also is a good meas he pinned Daulton. uring stick to good wrestling.
