Pelicans S Bears (17 j&eveinige Kingsbury Binney, By BILL GOULD Herald and Newt Sports Editor PELICAM COURT The Peli cans returned to opening season form here Friday nigh. The play was on the ragged side occasionally, but the clutch play returned and this was the difference as the Pels reversed the decision of one week ago and handed the Bend Lava Bears a 73-63 setback. Big board work and bang away shooting took the Pels to this triumph as they received yeoman work from both Terry Ash and 6-7 Gene Kingsbury in hauling down the rebounds at both ends of the court and a new individual scoring high for the young season by the big guy. Kingsbury completely erased any doubts which might have existed as to his ability to han dle himself well in the rough rebounding work as he hauled down 22 a new game high for him in this department. In dominating the action un derneath, he also hit for 29 points to pace all scoring in the contest. Perhaps overlooked by some but not by the Lava Bears was the big hand he raised nu merous times to bat away Bend shots. Unquestionably, it was his finest performance to date. Between Kingsbury and Ash, the Pels gave the Bears few scoring opportunities, with Ash grabbing 23 rebounds for the in dividual game high in this de partment. He also added 15 points to the Pels' winning total. Despite the final 10-point dif ference between the teams, the contest was close throughout, with the Pels holding only slim margins. Four times the fray was dead locked in the first period includ ing a 13-13 standoff at the first rest stop. And the Bears, hustlers all the way, moved into two-point leads in the first and second pe riods at 9-7 and 13-13. But a hook by Kingsbury gave the Pels the final tie of the contest at 15-all and a steal by Ash at the 6:53 mark of the second chapter moved the count to 17-16 for the Pels and from this point they were never head ed. Credit must be given to Lar ry Binney, a 5-8 sp e e d s t e r guard, who came off the bench in the second period to give the Pels a shot in the arm as he used his speed and quickness to score on drives and steals. The Pels' Al Keck dipped into his reserve strenglh again as the fourth period opened. This lime it was Steve Baker entering the fray as a replace ment for the Pels' big gun, Kingsbury, when the latter was assessed his fourth foul. It was a tough position in which to place Baker, but he came through with good work in the four minutes Kingsbury was out of the fray and re mained in the contest to tally vital points as the Bears contin ually closed the gap to within a few points. After one of the largest leads of the evening had been taken by tile Pelicans at the intermis sioneight points at 40-32 it was a case of the Pels fighting off the determined and speedy Bears the balance of (he fray. And the third chapter almost became the fatal period for the Pels as the field shooting dropped drastically. After 1'aving hit an impres sive .438 average in the first half on 18 of 41 shots, the Peli cans watched (heir shots hit and rim the bucket or fall away re peatedly in the third stanza. It was only the large amount of field attempts by the Pels keeping them ahead of the charging Bears. A total of 32 shots were tak en by th; Pelicans in the third period, with just seven hitting. The result was both teams bagged 15 markers and the teams entered the final chapter with the Pels leading, 55-47. And it was Kingsbury giving the Pels 10 of their 15 markers in the third. The final quarter was a thrill er from the tipnff which the Bears took and turned into a three-point play as Clyde Smith taXied to close the difference to 56-50. It also marked the disappear ance of Kingsbury with his fourth personal and the ques tion entering the minds of the assembled throng immediately was wiH the Lava Bears come on? The answer came jusl as quickly as Baker proved h w as capable of handling the large chore assigned him. Baker brought the score to Hits Baker Sparkle 53-50 on his fielder and then it was George Woodworth and Mike Clark leading the battling Bears to a three-point deficit at 62-59, witn 2:47 left. Kingsbury reappeared for the Pelicans and Ash hit for three additional points and Kingsbury a pair of gifters to raise the score back up to a more com fortable 67-59 count. Jack Ward popped another long shot in for the Bears at the 1:59 mark and then the Bears began their press. Doug Williams added t sv o points to the Bear total via the free throw line before Kings bury's hook made it 69-63 and Baker went in on a solo as the Pels cra.-ked the press again to make it 71-63. Ash closed out the scoring at the line wiih but 10 seconds left hitting a pair of free tosses. The Pels cast off 88 times hit ting on 30 of tliese shots for a .337 mark, while the Bears hit 24 of 52 for a healthy .476 av erage. It was tlie outside shooting of NEW DANCE? Klamath Falls' Terry Ash 140 and Bend's Jack Ward (251 appeared fo be performing a new dance as this photo was snapped. The race for the loose basketball resulted in the shot, with Ash appearing to have a slight lead in the recovery. This action was re peated throughout the evening at Pelican Court Friday night as the Pels scored a 73-63 victory over the Lava Bears.
