committed a majority of these
fouls against Vince Strojan. It
should have been anybody else.
Strojan made good 18 of 21 op-
portunities at the free throw line.
He was agonizingly deadly.
WITHOUT SCORING a single
field goal in the second half Stro-
jan made 12 points, on 13 foul
shots. For the entire game he
wound up with 30 points, after
getting six field goals and six
foul shots in the first half.
In contrast, the Trojans com-
mitted only 17 fouls one a tech-

22 free throws, 11 of which they

v, qtaining five apiece and two
others had four on them.
LARRY POWELL, his head en-
.sconsced in a boxer's protective
helmet, returned to the Climber
lineup for the first time since the
opening game and promptly got
himself into serious foul trouble.
With 4:52 of the second quarter
still to go he had his fourth per-
sonal, and although he managed
to last out the game in spite of
that burden, his effectiveness on
defense and rebounding was sev-
erely handicapped for two-thirds
of the game.
Ron Orr. another prime reboun-
der for the Climbers. picked up
his fourth foul with only 40 sec-
onds of the third quarter gone
and was likewise under wraps
for half the game. He eventually
fouled out with 4:20 left in the
fourth period and was followed
by Bob Walker with 1:02 left and
Jim Richards with 10 seconds to
go. :Bob Towle was the other
Climber with four fouls.
Fife lost no players from fouls,
had only one with the burden of
four.
THE SECOND quarter did the
Climbers in. After pldying the
Trojans to an 11-11 standstill in
the first period, the Climber de-
fense, with Powell strapped by his
4h personal foul, sagged badly
and the -visitors racked up eight
field goals and nine foul shots for
a 25 point production for the per-
iod. Shelton equalled its first
quarter output with 11. but found
itself going to the dressing room
at the half trailing by 36-22.
As the third session opened the
Climbers looked like they might
make a ball game of it. With
Scott Swisher and Orr each con-
tributing three field goals, and
Bob Walker one. the Climbers
slashed Fife's margin to six points
at two places, 37-31 and 39-33, but
the Trojans regained their poise
and pulled away to regain their
14 point margin as the quarter
ended. 53-39.
FOR MOST of the inal round
the two clubs traded baskets, the
margin alternating at 1.2 to 14
points, until Powell put home a
pair of field goals which knocked
it down to eight with 1:53 left,
61-53. But the issue had been de-
cided by that late date and Dan
Olson's basket with less than a
minute left was the only other
Climber score.
The Climbers are idle now for
the rest of the holidays, resum-
ing action Jan 3 when they travel
to South Kitsap to open the Olym-
pic league schedule.

STEELHEAD PLAY IS LIGHT
Consistent rains knocked some
of the local waters a bit out o
shape during the past few days
and steelhead fishing, as a conse-
quence, was on the light side.
Dave Clark was the most suc-
cessful, taking three fish on two
days. Thursday he fished both the

ing a 7¼-pounder in the former.

having touched the Skok for a

Lew Systma had a pair on a
single trip to the Skok last \\;¥ed-

and Harry Greenwood hit the Nis-
qually lor a pair at 4-0 and 5£,
the same day. This was also the
date on which Joseph Evers pick-
ed a 6-0 out of the Skok.

I In Their College Cage Capers
5 EI-CLIIIlBERS DOING WELL
Former Highclimber hoopmen
who have gone on to better things
in the casaba sport are doing
nicely at their chosen sites of cage
capers.
There are five currently active
in college play, all of whom were
teammates under Coach Jerry
Vcrmillion's tutelage four years
back.
The coach's own brother, Greg,
probably deserves the duke as do-
ing best. at this writing. With the
major college status which Seat-
tle University ehjoys, Greg is in
the fastest company, presumably.
As of Sunday, as this is written,
Seattle U had rolled up six victor-
ies without defeat and Grog, a
senior forward, was tied as lead-
ing Chieftain scorer with his 101
points, just short of a 17-point
average. (He was the subject of
a flattering write-up in the Seat-
tle Times sports section Sunday).
In two of the five games he
was Seattle's top scorer, with 27
points against Idaho State and 20
against St. Mary's. Although this
is an unfamiliar achievement for
him in college, it was fairly com-
mon for him in high school as he
led his Highclimber club in scoring
Bulldogs Still Looking
For I st Hoop Victory
BELFAIR North Mason's Bull-
dogs were still looking for their
first success of the 1963-64 basket-
ball season after suffering a 52-
41 defeat at the hands of Quilcene
in the Bulldog gym Friday night.
Quilcene hurdled to victory on a
20-point third quarter outburst in
handing the Bulldogs their fifth
straight setback. In that period
North Mason countered with only
three points, although outscoring
the winners in the other three per-
iods.

HURRICANE RIDGE OPEN
THROUGH HOLIDAYS
The Hurrican Ridge winter use
area in Olympic National Park
will be open Dec. 21 through Jan,
1 (except Christmas Day), al-
though weather conditions may
make it impractical to maintain
an open road to the area at times,
Supt. John E. Doerr announced
last week.
After the first of the year plans
are to have the area open and all
facilities operating on 2-day week-
ends through Sunday, March _29.
After March snow Conditions are
normally not favorable for skiing.

when it finished second in the
Central league in 1960.
ON OF HIS junior teammates
on that team was Jerry Bloom-
field, now a sophomore playing for
brother Jerry's St. Martins College
varsity. Bloomfield has worked
himself into a starting guard berth
with double-digit scoring contri-
butions and some top-quality de-
fensive play in the past three or
four games. St. Martins currently
sports a 2-6 mark. will play Cen-
tral Washington in the Shelton
gym this coming Saturday night.
Another junior on that 1960
Highclimber team was Laurie
Somers, who is perscnt!y a junior
at the Coast Guard Academy in
far off New London, Connecticut.
Home for a brief Christmas visit
during a short lull in the CG
schedule, Laurie said his club cur-
rently holds a 2-3 mark and he is
second leading individual scorer
with a 15.8 average per game.
LAURIE FLEW IN Saturday
night and will be at his Grape-
view home until the day after New
Years. He said the Coast Guard
Academy plays an independent
schedule against small New Eng-
land colleges and some service
teams.
Two sophomores who played B
team ball for the Highclimbers in
1960. then teammed with Somers
and Bloomfield on the Seamount
league co-championship club or
1961, were Corky Peterson and
Wayne Carlson. Corky now is a
sophomore at Centralia Junior Col-
lege, where he has helped the
Trailblazers to a 6-1 record at this
date with his 20.5 average, sec-
ond high on the squad to his own
roommate, Mike Smith, who is
hitting ior 21 per game.
Wayne is a sophomore now 'at
University of Puget Sound. where
he is doing short-term relief duty
with considerable distinction. The
frail, lanky ex-Climber is scoring
well in his brief stints on the
floor but hasn't had any starting
assignments yet.
Owletles Open Season
With Impressive Wins
I In Girls Basketball
]VfATLOQK The Owlettes suc-
cessfully opened their 63-64 sea-
on by defeating Elma. Winning
their first contest by a narrow
margin. 31 to 28. they came back
I overwhelmingly the following
week. leaving no doubt as to the
master of the two teams with a
lopsided score of 56 w 34.
This year the feminine hoop-
sters have a smooth working or-
ganization. Plenty of rebounding
skill is the result of having the
pretty, blonde, and graceful Owen
twins under the baskets. Their
ability is supplemented by Don-
na Owen, an offensive speedster;
Jackie Landis. an apparently coo]
headed gal on the court, along
with two other talented individ-
uals who can score effectively,
Gloria Avery and Kristine Gra-
ham. Sandy Miller plays defense
like a chain reaction and Nancy
Stodden is no slouch. Completing
the line-up and adding depth to
the team are Mae Coburn. Lor-
etta Beerbower. Barbara Spald-
ing, and Shyli Janson.
. As shown by the abundance of
talent above the girls are prepared
for an interesting season. I'm
wishing them luck. and they'll
probably need it if league opposi-
tion is up to its normal level. But
the Owlettes look ready to face
the smooth-running basketball
machines that will compete
against them this year.
Regardless of the outlook,
Coach Nellie Chappell has her
worries; among these is the prob-
lem of keeping the girls' attention
on the gaxne rather than a spec-
tator in tile stands. If they con-
tinue to show the desire and in-
itiative that they have demonstra-
ted so far this year, a successful
year awaits them.
