Klamath Falls Pelicans Stopped By Hustling Bend Lava Bear Quint BEAD "They hustled and e couldn't get going. "We made a lot of mistakes and we couldn't find the basket. "It could have done us a lot of good. I'd rather see it hap pen now than later when we get into the counting games." Post -game comments of Klam ath Falls mentor Al Keck after his Pelicans had been edged by the Bend Lava Bears, 56-50. The Bears overltook the Peli cans just prior to half time to gain a 23-23 standoff and then proceeded to outscore the Pels in the second half to rack up their third consecutive victory. And if ever a team lost a game at the foul line, the Peli cans did just that at Bend. The Pelicans hit for 21 buck ets from the field while the host team was collecting on just 17. But at the charity stripe, the Bears more than made up for this inaccuracy afield, as they hit for 21 additional gift points while the Pels were able to con vert just eight. And therein lies the story. With 3:30 left in the contest and with the Pelican big men Gene Kingsbury' and Terry Ash treading on thin ice each with four fouls listed against them. the Pels were forced to go into a full-court press. .Soon the Pelican heipht was out of the fray with the fifth personal whistled against them and the teams battled on, with the Pelicans cutting the margin to 50-18. A battle for the ball with 14 seconds left resulted in the fifth personal on Lanny tiuyer and a pair of technicals chalked up against the KU club also. The Bears took full advantage of this untimely chance o f events to quickly boost the score out of reach and the highflying Pelicans had been shot down. The Pelicans had taken a 124 first quarter lead before the Bears came back in the second stanza to hit (or 65 points to 11 for the visitors and gain the halftime standoff. The two teams repeated the scoring in the third chapter as again 15 points were recorded by the Bears to 11 for the Pels and it was a 38-34 lead for the home club as they headed into the final period. And in the last period, it was a desperate Pelican team at tempting to catch the Bears and regain the lead. But to no avail. The Bears again received top scoring from 6-1 senior forward Jack Ward as lie hit for 16 points. The Pels were led by Kingsbury with 11 markers and Ash w ith eight. Also pointing to the strange outcome of the fray is the fact tlie Pelicans controlled the boards by a wide 43-20 margin. But their inability to hit from the field and from the foul line was tlie difference. Kingsbury topped the rebound ing work as he gathered in 18 and Ash collected 14. "The missed shots killed us. And, we can't wait until the fi nal three minutes if we expect to beat anyone," was the head man's final words on the fray. Tlie fact tlie Pelicans lost the ball on 27 occasions through a variety of reasons also points to tlie fatal mistakes committed in tlie contest. The Pelicans have another chance at the Lava Bears as the two teams meet again Fri day night at Pelican Court.

AIRS AFL CHAMPIONSHIP NEW YORK (UPD The American Football League championship game on Sun day; Jan. 5, will be televised by the American Broadcasting Co. from cither San Diego or Oakland, Calif., starting at 4:15 p.m. EST. . Neither divisorf'race has been clinched. San Diego and Oak land are the only contenders re maining for the Western ' title, the conference which will host the game. Kails, Oregon Sunday, December 15, 1963 Glincs pacing the scoring. Anderson again was high, this time with 17 points and Glines hit for 16. "We did a much better job and 1 wasn't displeased tonight. 1 (eel if we can score this well against conference opponents we ll win a few. "And this hustle and desire from these little people we have is going to take the club a long way." were the post-game com ments of Jim Partlow. The Badgers gave up their Clark scored 23 points and Robinson tallied 24 for the Cowboys, who have put their victory streak together alter los ing their first two games this season. Randy Richardson collected 15 points and Dick Sherman added 12 for Wyoming. The Cowboys outshot the Ducks, who now are winless in lour starts, .524 to .477. The visi tors hit 33 of 63 field goal at tempts and the home team made 32 of 67. Each learn collected 39 re bounds. Oregon led by as many as 11 points in tlie first half and held a 39-36 lead at intermission. But Wyoming ran off 12 straight points to open tlie second half to take a 48-39 lead. The Cowboys went ahead to stay at 78-77 with 2:36 Ielt in the game on a field goal hy Clark and made it 81-77 with 148 remaining on a three-point play by Robinson. Steve Jones and Steve Bar nett led the Ducks with 24 and 20 points, respectively against tlie big and experienced Badgers, the young Owls fought gamely but after a pair of open ing minute tics were brushed aside. After the Badgers had taken a 1-0 lead in the opening moments on a free throw by Leon John son, they began their press and tlie Owls survived the first live minutes of this unexpected tac tic well. However, after tlie Owls' two classy backcourt men Mike Glines and Ralph Anderson had given Oregon Tech deadlocks at three-all and six-all, tlie Badg ers began to move. Taking full advantage of Owl mistakes in the press, tlie Badg ers received points from Ed Hoffman, Mike Payne and John son to sweep into a 13-6 lead. At this point the Badgers sent in a fresh unit as the first pla toon work started and swept on quickly to a 15-point lead at 25-10. At this stage the handwriting was on tlie wall as it was quick ly apparent that tlie Owls were in for a long evening. Rich Lyons gave tlie Owls their last field goal of the first half w ith 9: 15 left and then it was free throws converted by Mike Wertin and Anderson bringing the Owls to their 18- point total production in the first half. Meanwhile, the work of John son, Ken Alcorn, Gary Lee, Vince Hayes and Payne raised the Badger total until a healthy 52-18 halttime lead was gained. The Badger attack was un merciful as an even .500 aver age was recorded in the field on 36 of 72 attempts and 22 of 29 popped through. PAGE IB tight press employed in tlie Fri day night contest and were con tent with a semi-press. Again, the Pacific club used its great bench strength via the platoon method and this again hurt the Owls. The Owls drew w ithin s i X points of the Badgers nearing the end of the first half but Pa cific again started a scoring surge to carry to an 11-point halftime lead at 41-30. Willis and Johnson paced the Pacific rebounding with 14 and 11 respectively, while Ron Wil kerson lopped the Owl hoard work with 11. Next weekend the Owls take to the road for a two-game set with the Humboldt Slate Log gers.

Owl head man Jim Partlow tried all possible combinations in his lineup in an effort to slow the Pacific juggernaut but to no avail and soon the galley be- gan to match the mounting score with the dwindling clock in an effort to predict if the visitors would hit tlie century ! mark. Fortunately the Owls and the clock won this race. "It's tlie first time we've ever been humiliated. We gave up the ball too many times. That hurt us," a dejected Partlow commented. Despite the lopsided victory, French was not happy with the play of his team and he, too, referred to ". . . too many loss es of the ball." "But, maybe that was my fault in using the platoon," he added. Again Johnson took a large toll against the Owls as he did in the previous meeting during the NA1A Tip-Off tourney as ho nil tor 21 points to pace all scor ing. This lime he received more scoring assistance frum Lee with 16 points and Alcorn with 15. The crowd-pleasing Anderson paced the Owl scoring as he hit for 12 points and Glines added 11. Anderson gave his coach and fans a start in tho first half as he landed in the bleacliers in at tempting to sava a ball from going out of bounds. It was several seconds before coaches and officials noticed the the 5-4 scooter hadn't returned from the bleachers and he was located with an injured side and removed from the game. Later he returned only to be laken out of the contest for good late in the fray. It was a tough way to open the home season for the Owls who have not liecn in tlie los ing habit over Hie past two sea sons. the Box Pacific (f4) Johnson Havas Willis Ola Lea Alcorn Payne Erickson Hoffman Warren Manning Totals Oregon Tech (51) Lyons Wertin Wilkerson Glines Anderson Hawkins Dennis Leeliy Nichols Reed Totals Score by halves: Pacific Oregon tech SCORE Fg Fl Reb Pf Tp 13-10 M 0 II 7-1 0-0 1-4 33 7-0 1.0 7 5 44 7-4 11-7 7 5 0-0 S3 3-5 101 1-0 . 4-1 0-0 5 4 1 II 4 0 3 16 1 IS 3 10 3 II 1 4 1 1 1-0 00 0 0 77-14 14-71 S7 1 f4 Fg Fl Reb PI Tp 10-3 41 5 5 1 5-0 7-5 4 4 5 5-1 11 4 14 15 4 3 II 1 II 1 4 1-4 5-4 3-1 51 SI 14 4-0 00 3 0 0 0-0 1-0 0 0 0 7-1 0-0 0 0 7 34-15 14-11 13 II S3 SI 47-14 ' H 34- Jl a CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!
