6-4 Larry Stockman, a junior
center; 6-4 Bruce Bertrand, a
' v sophomore forward; Steve Da-
vis (6-3). a junior center and
Bill Enyart (6-3), a junior for

have been outstanding for the
Tornado in pre-conference ac
tion, with Enyart shifted to the
post position and becoming the

and one of the top scorers.
' Bertrand has gained a start
ing berth on the Tornado five
as a sophomore and Is one of
the top men in the scoring

hitting a total of 95 points in

The Tornado ended pre-sea-son
action witih a 8-3 record,
- with losses coming at the hands
of the Linfield and Willamette
junior varsity teams and one
loss to South Eugene the No.

Victories were posted over
South Eugene and a pair over
the Willamette Wolverines.
"If the big kids come
through, we could be okay.
We're green right now, but a

ASHLAND
' It's a young, inexperienced
club fielded by the Ashland
Grizzlies as tlie 1964 Southern
Conference gets underway to
night. Coach George Kcil, entering
his third year as head man of
tlie Grizzlies, counts two return
ing lcttormen from the team of
last year which posted an 8-14
overall mark and a 2-14 count
ing record.
The Grizzlies have botJi hcicht
and experience in senior veter
an Jeff Trost at 64 and a good
floor leader in 5-9 senior guard
Dean Saaiuclson.
Teaming up with Trost under
neath are Bill Jury (6-0) and
6-1 Dave Barger, both juniors,
and outside is 5-8 junior Dennis
Ekwall.
Both Ekwall and Jury have
scored well for the Grizzlies in
pre-conference action as has 6-3
sophomore candidate D w I a h t
Morrow. Additional holcht is
available in 64 sophomore iRan

a senior.
"We have good speed and fair
height and we could come on in
the second haK of league play,"
Kell notes.
The Grizzlies run a single post
offense and, as with other
teams, they will run if the oc
casion arises.
In pre-conference play the

CRATER
Just one veteran is counted by
Crater's Lloyd Hoffine as the
Comets make ready for the
start of Southern Conference
play, with 10 lettermen missing
from last year's roster. j
ine comets ended countini:
action in third place last year
with a 9-5 record and start con
ference play Saturday night at
nome against Medford with a
pre-scason mark of 4-2.
Returning from lasi year's
five is two-year lettcrman Dar
ryl Summerfield, a senior for
ward standing 5-10. Summerfield
is considered one of the better
board men and scorers for the
Comets and described by Hof
fine as ". . . real strong."
Joining him in a starting unit
thus far has been Larry Pepper
a 5-9 senior and Bob Turner a
6-0 senior, both at guards; and
forward Mike Turner (6-2) a
junior and center Bob Stroh
(64) a senior.
Summerfield and Mike Turner
have paced the Comet scoring
tlie games played thus far, with
Summerfield having a total of 88
points in six outings and Turner
83.
Stroh has been the lop re
bounder with a total of 65. "He's
doing a good job for his first
year of varsity ball and he's
still growing," Hoffine com
ments. Miko Turner is second in Hie
board work with a total of 59.
Figured to see action for the
Comets, also, are Vcrn Swanson
(5-11) a senior forward and
Dave Twedell, also a senior for
ward and standing 6-0.
In compiling their mark of 4-2,
the Comets have faced Fortuna,
Calif., and won one game, with
single victories also coming over
Eagle Point and Douglas. The
Comets split a pair with Leba
non and have also dropped one
iray to cottage Grove.
"We have been running but
perhaps too much, because we
have thrown the ball away too
many times. How Medford does
against Ashland tonight will de
termine what we do against
Medford Saturday night offen
sively. "We'll use a man-to-man de
fense mostly, although we will
try the zone occasionally. We
used the zone against Lebanon."
In comparing this year's team
with last, the Comet head man
sees the club as not possessing
the quickness it had last year
and less reaction.
The Comets are seen as a
strong fourth place team this
year, with the ability to knock
off the favored club on any giv
en night.

Defending Champions
Invade Pelican Court
By BILL GOULD
Herald and News Sports Editor
The play for fun is over.
The race for the conference
marbles begins tonight.
For the Klamath Falls Peli
cans the important action starts
at Pelican Court as the defend
ing Southern Conference co
champion Grants Pass Cavemen
visit.
Gordy Prehm's Cavemen
bring a 3-3 pre-season record to
Pelican Court, however, this
record is deceiving as the Cave
men have lost those three games
to stiff competition.
The Cavemen opened with
losses to the Willamette and
Linfield JVs, followed with a
split of a two-game series with
Roseburg and ended pre-conference
action with a sweep of a
two-game series against Tilla
mook. Al Keek's Pels have moved lo
a 5-1 non-counting record, down
ing Roseburg twice in the sea
son opening pair, followed with
a split of a series with Bend
and last weekend completed a
sweep of a two-game set with
Sweet Home.
A pair of lettermen return for
both clubs and figure to be a
thorn in the side of the other
club in the contest tonight.
For tlie Cavemen, it's floor
leader Tom Sparlin, a 5-11 sen
ior guard with a per game scor
ing average of 14 points; and
post man Marly Bauer, a 5-11
senior who leads the Cavemen
in rebounding and is one of die
lop scorers on the club.
This pair gives the Cavemen
a large start toward repeating
as league champions.
For the Pelicans, it's 5-8 sen-

of the two clubs due action to
night, with both teams looking
to additional help from top new
men.
The Cavemen have Jerry Me
Cormack, currently their No. 1
scorer, a senior forward stand
ing 6-1, and Steve Newman, a
junior at the oilier forward spot
and standing 6-0. Holding down
the other guard position is Pat
Duchien, a junior standing 5-10.
The Pels have their top scor
er and rebounder in 6-7 trans
fer letterman Gene Kingsbury.
Kingsbury has paced the Pels
in both departments through
most of the pre-season contests
and has a 19.1 scoring average
and has picked off 100 rebounds.
Seeing action also is Steve Ba
ker at the other forward post,
a 6-2 junior, while the other
guard position could be handled
by either John Jendrzcjewski
(6-2) and a junior, or Bob Moore
(6-2) and a sophomore.
Baker, Jendrzejewski and
Moore run four, five and six in
the Pelican scoring and arc high
in the rebounding totals.
Last year the Cavemen came
to Pelican Court and downed
the Pels on the home floor for
tlie first time in several contests
over a period of years.
Pelican workouts this week
have seen much work on indi
vidual defense against Sparlin,
Bauer and MeCormack.
"We know something about
them, but we know nothing of
Duchien and Newman," com
ments Keck.
The Pels have completed good
sessions this past week in prep
aration for the Cavemen, with
scrimmages displaying plenty of
hustle.

"We've looked better this week
than we have all season, with
a lot of spark and hustle. The
kids have worked real hard.
They know this will be a tough
one."
Prelim sees the Pelicans as
offering ". . . tlie stiffest board
test we've had this year. Their
(the Pelicans) height could hurt
us."
Both coaches arc mum to tlie
type of offense and defense to
be run, however, both are ex
pected to start with a man-toman
defense and use the pat
tern offense, with fast break
employed when possible.
After this initial conference
test, the Pelicans return to
counting play Saturday night as
they travel to Ashland for the
first meeting with the Grizzlies.
Ashland is currently 1-3 and
tonight is facing the Black Tor
nado at Medford.
Grants Pass draws a bye
