Mi,e South of She,ton on Highway 101 -- Please No Phone Ca,is VERN DAVIDSON CAN DAVIDSON j r i , I Try it for up their first round play against Central League rivals with a 3-3 record after losing to Ehna and winning from Montesano last weekend. The thriller of the two was the Saturday night squeaker in Shel- ton gym, with the Climbers a 45-44 winner over the Bulldogs when sophomore Sherry Halbert came through for the second time this season with last-minute foul shots which earned the victory. The count was knotted at 43-43 when Halbert was fouled with 48 seconds of play remaining. On a one-and-one situation, the stocky sophomore neatly spun the ball through the net twice for the two points which proved to be the margin of victory in the exciting remaining seconds of play. AT TIlE 36 second mark Dave Myers fouled Montesano's George Raines, who converted his first shot but missed his second to narrow the gap to one point. With 14 seconds to go, Ray Manke drew a 1-and-1 foul but missed the first and Montesano grabbed the re- GERI WILsoN won the girls" bound and took time out with sev- singles championship In the Ima- en seconds 'to go.

After a slow start, which found Montesano gaining a 9-5 first MAJOR LOOP ADDS queer advantage, the Cltmbers appeared to have the game in hand 7TH, 8TH ENTRIES en they raced to a 28-17 half- time lead as Myers scored seven, MAJOR LEAGUE Ray Manke and Denny Temple six PtL each during the quarter.

At Elms Friday the Eagles led all the way except for the open- ing couple of minutes, when the Climbers held 2-1 and 4-3 mar- gins, but Ehna's final 58-45 ad- vantage was only that because of Shelton's woeful inaccuracy from the floor and some equally woe- ful officiating. THE CLIMBERS made only 18 of 74 field goal attempts, often had several shots in succession as they were out-rebounding the Ea-I gles a good part of the game, but couldn't make this advantage pay off. At times it looked like there was a lid over the basket. The Eagles made only three more field goals, 21 of 54 attempts, but had 21 chances at the foul line of which they converted 16. The Climbers had 16 chances and made  nine. By quarters the Eagles enjoyed 18-12, 32-23, and 49-30 leads, their biggest margin at any time in the game being at 49-28. The Climbers cut into the advantage in the last quarter when Halbert bagged four points, Myers matched that mark, and Dick Lord, Laurie Sein- ers and Ray Manke a pair each against Elma reserves. IN NEITHER of the weekend games did the Climbers play their best ball, not only their shooting being poor but their general ball handling and floor play lacking sharpness.
