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.

"We did a much better job

Randy Richardson collected

The Cowboys outshot the

Each learn collected 39 re

a 39-36 lead at intermission. But

The Cowboys went ahead to

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.

tight press employed in tlie Fri

the Pacific club used its great

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

Additionally, the Badger
height did its job on the boards
as a 57-33 margin w as recorded
in this department.
In the second half the Badg- ,i
ers pulled out of their press and
the Owls went to work and cut
tlie margin from a 40 point ad
vantage at 69-29 down to a 30
point difference at 78-48, with
5:29 left.
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
