Dark Thoughts
On A White Day!
From time-to-time you've noted in this
space oblique, sometimes direct, unflatter-
ing aspersions on the calibre of officiating
by Kitsap whistlemen in athletic contests
involving the Shelton Highclimbers and
their Olympic League brothers..
The feeling has built up during the
years since Shelton transferred into the
Olympic conference, in the early 1960's,
that officials assigned out of the Kitsap
County Association to work sports events
in the league haven't always been com-
pletely impartial where the Climbers are
concerned, that the tendency in crucial sit-
uations has been to make the call favorable
to the Kitsap teams. On the other hand,
when Shelton has used Kitsap Association
officials for non-conference games the
Climbers felt they have received a fair
shake.
This has been one factor, although not
the primary one by any means (long travel
distances holds that distinction by a wide
margin), in Shelton's desire to leave the
Olympic league. The frequency and total
volume of complaints against Kitsap offi-
cials these past half dozen or so years sug-
gests a fairly solid basis for the charge and
the existence of a situation the Kitsap of-
ficials themselves should investigate hon.
estly and thoroughly.
Whether a switch to another athletic
affiliation would bring any improvement in
this particular area is a moot matter. It
can only be hoped so. However, Shelton
lies in a peculiar geographical location
which isloates the Highclimbers as the
border-line brothers no matter what con-
terence they belong to---Olympic, South-
west, Seamount, Central or what have you.
If that is what causes some Kitsap officials
(not all are guilty) to call a verdict the
wrong way occasionally then the same cir-
cumstances are going to prevail if Grays
Harbor, Thurston, Tacoma or whatever as-
sociation is the officiating source, unless,
of course, officials from completely out-
side the league's geographical area are em-
ployed. This would be the ideal situation,
theoretically, but impractical because of
the added expense of travel costs involved.
in attempting to pin down the spevlflo
complaints against Kitsap officiating, I
talked to Climber basketball coach Jack
Wright recently. Now Jack is one of the
easiest-going guys you'll ever meet and
among the least likely to complain in the
coaching fraternity. What he said was
very mild compared to what I've heard from
others and compared to my own observa-
tions.
Jack's basic criticism of Kitsap of-
ficiating was inconsistency and making
calls out of position. Too many officials
fail to call the same play the same way
consistently, Wright suggests, like broken
dribbles, for example. Players find it dif-
ficult to know what to expect when one
time they're penalized but another time
they're not for doing exactly the same
thing. These faults no doubt are as prev-
alent elsewhere as among Kitsap officials.
One thing is sure--officiating is a tough
way to earn a buck and an easy way to
win enemies.
O O 4t
SPORTS SPLINTERS--Did you wake
up Monday morning wondering why you
didn't feel quite as punchy as usual ? The
reason, I'd bet, is that the TV sports load
last weekend was so light that your poor
old eyeballs felt like they'd had a vacation,
with only one football game a day Satur-
day and Sunday.
If you're wondering why there's been no
report on Bruce Schwarck's trip to the
Olympic Games last fall in this column it's
because Bruce still hasn't shown up in
Shelton since making his trailer-trip to
Mexico City..
Need a nomination for Highclimber sur-
priso of the basketball season? Mine is Ed
Adams, the freckled, rusty-haired, five-foot-
nine senior whose clutch baskets have won
two games already and who played his way
into the starting lineup despite being a
non-letterman with six lettsrmen to com-
pete against.
Shades of Prof Loop! The grand old
man of early-day Shelton school history--
teacher, principal, superintendent, coach,
father-advisor, bus driver--from 1910 to
World War 2 and for whom Shelton's ath-
letic field is named, finds the Loop name
returning to the Shelton school system
after a quarter century absence in the
person of his grandson, Pete Loop, now a
teacher and assistant coach here and a
member o£ the faculty team playing in the
city basketball league. You'll spot him at
the scorer's bench in Shelton gym at High-
climber home hoop games.
Set At 36
I W,'Ington tte hu*or ex-
perienced 36 firearm hunting ca-
,,,c auring the 1968 seasons,
according to Clayton Barnes, Fire-
arm Safety Coordinator for the
State Game Department.
Six of the casualties were fatal,
as compared to a 10-year aver-
age of 5.4 fatalities in annual
hunting accidents involving fire-
arms.
Barnes noted that 30 of the 36
"accidents" were cases where the
shooter either shot himself or was
shot by a member of his own
hunting party; contradicting the
belief held by some that it is
"all those other hunters" who
present a probelm.

Washington State's steelhead
fishing is being widely touted in
current issues of national hunt-
ing and fishing magazines, and
lived up to its reputation by pro-
viding high success over the
weekend.
Although a few out-of-state ri-
vers do produce good results for
the steelhead angler, both quan-
tity and quality of Washington's
the best in the world, claims the
State Game Department.
Weekend conditions in western
counties were generally favorable
to the steelheader, as cooling

East Bremerton survived an
amazing Shelton . Highclimber
comeback in the fourth quarter
to come out the vict(:rs in their
tilt Friday night on the Knights'
maples. The final score was 79-76.
Shelton, which has come back
from some big deficits this year,
tried once again to pull it out
of the bag, but fouls ruined them
when they were within reach of
the Knights.
With about two minutes to go,
Shtton was within two points
three different times and each
time they fouled the Knights. The
home team sank all six one-and-
one situation foul shots to pull
away by four. It was not until the

In lower Puget Sound areas, the
Carboa river was dropping and

success was high.
The Climbers only missed three
of fourteen field goal attempts
in the fourth quarter, which was
a major factor in their comeback.
Mike Sparks was the high
point man for the visitors with
24 points. He didn't miss a shot
in the second half, bucketing
seven straight field goals, many
from his favorite spot around the
right corner.
Dave Pyler was the game's
high scorer with 27 points. He
accounted for four of those fourth
quarter foul shots of East's.
Next was Jim Corey, who scor-
ed 19 points, including seven in
the final period. This was the
first game of the season that he
fouled out of.
The game stayed close through-
out the first quarter, with the
Knights leading at the end of
it, 17-16. East ran away with it in
the second quarter, building a
44-32 lead. The Knights were get-
ting through Shelton's defense and
doing a fair Job of holding the
Climbers themselves.
By the end of the third quart-
er, Shelton had cut the Knights'
lead to nine points. Bud Tuson
