HCLIMDER
By DICK STRITE
nnh ravines, the youthful all-
around athlete from McMlnnvllle
who ini classified t-F because of
a perforated eardrum, turned
.down a $500 bonui and $250
monthly contract with the Cin
cinnati Red! to return to the Uni
versity of Oregon and don't
think tor a minute Hobby Hobson
wasn't happy to tee the southpaw
pitcher. Hobby Isn't worried about
Caviness' mound prowess, his
ability to cover the initial sack or
the outer gardens but his ap
pearance will make an Immediate
difference in the outlook for
civilian basketball at the univer
alty. The return of Caviness
brings to two the number of play
ers who competed on the campus
last winter as freshmen. Bob
Hamilton is the other.
Caviness and Jack Fassett, a
talented second-baseman who will
enter the army next month, re
turned this week from San Fran
cisco where they played the early
part of the winter-league season
wilh the Cincinnati Rookies. Al
though they enjoyed their stay in
San Francisco, they were not at
all happy with the Cincinnati
"deal." They were forced to rustle
their own Jobs (good ones in a
chemical plant at something like I
$1 per hour) and even paid their i
own expenses to and from the ball I
games. Fassett was particularly
displeased because Manager Rob I
Roy forced the youngster to cover I
the shortstop position because
Roy's son was the regular secona
cacker. . There were strings tied to Cavi
ness' deal the $500 bonua prom
ised only after a 60-day trial with
the Birmingham Barons. Caviness
has been around and recalled a
similar proposition given Roy
Helser by some club we can't re
call, in the Western circuit and
after 59 days they gave the ex
Portland Beaver pitcher-outfielder
his release.
In San Francisco they had Cavl
' ness in the outfield, after he had
purchased a $16 first-baseman's
mitt according to pre-season
plans. Fassett, after making four
errors (all on throws) in the first
two games, played the' remainder
of the season without a bobble
but was still not happy. In the
eight games for Fassett and 10
games for Caviness, the former
hit .317 and the latter .360 for the
Frisco stretch.
With the exception of Fassett,
son of Frank "World Series" Fas.
sett, the entire Rookies lineup was
composed of 4-F's, but the most
talented was a one-armed right
fielder, a fellow by the name of
Lcs Charvos who not only played
errorless ball and had a terrific
arm, but b a 1 1 e d cleanup. , .
Charves would catch the ball with
his left hand, throw the ball up
in the air and toss the glove off
and retrieve and throw the ball in
Virtually one motion.
Archie Hayes, promising 17-year-old
southpaw pitcher from
Albany who played with the
Giustina Reds here last summer,
was brought to San Francisco by
Scout Mickey Schader all ex
penses paid, including the best of
-meals and three days In one of
Frisco's leading hotels. He pitch
ed five innings and was leading
2-1 when he hurt his back. Even
so, Archie was offered a $200-per-month
contract, which was
also rejected.
The San Francisco teams, until
the major-lenguers started re
turning, were no better than Cas
cade loop clubs, according to Fas
sett and Caviness. . . The boys
saw Ford Mullen during the Seattle-San
Francisco series, and It
was the former Eugene high
coach who advised Caviness
against accepting the Reds' con
tract. Besides being pestered with
telephone calls from New York,
San Francisco and way points re
garding Joe's so-called retirement
from baseball (which Is a myth

Junction City
Plays Roseburg
Uni High Awaits Tilt
With Millers Saturday
The appearance of Klamath
Falls' "uncrowned champions" of
Oregon in Eugene Friday night
for a skirmish against the Eu
gene Axemen has local football
fans agog and promises to at
tract more than 5000 spectators
to Civic Stadium.
But two other local games are
attracting more than passing no
tice Friday afternoon's clash at
Junction City between the twice
beaten Tigers and Roseburg In
dians; Saturday night's Klngs-X
meeting at the Stadium between
Springfield and University high
squads.
The games involving the four
Tri-County league aggregations
have no bearing on division
championships, but will be
watched with great Interest. Unl
High and Springfield are ranking
favorites in their respective
northern and southern divisions
of the circuit and are expected
to meet again later in the sea
son for the league champion
ship. Although nothing but
prestige will be at stake, Satur
day night's victory is a coveted
goal for both teams.
Junction City hometown fans
will get their first glimpse of
Coach Virg Kingsley's Tigers who
have been beaten by both Spring
field and University high and
the Tigers are expected to give
a good account of themselves
despite last week's 31-7 wallop
ing at the hands of the Campus
club.
Coach Hod Turner's invading
Indians, 1942 league champions,
have also lost two decisions
7-0 to Uni High and 7-8 to Cot
tage Grove, while defeating
Reedsport 25-6. The Grove Li
ons, incidentally, will be idle
this week-end.
Junction . City Is expected to
be in better physical condition
for the Roseburg clash than last
week with" Fullback Clyde Gor
don and Halfback Andy Ander
son the big guns of the attack.
Turner's two offensive threats
are Quarterback Al Hooten and
Fullback George Marster.

Klamath Here For Eugene Tilt
By BILL LOVE
Coach Frank Ramsey and his
Klamath Falls "fast express" will
be steamed into town Thursday,
probably about as "cock sure"
of victory as a certain Adolph
Hitler when he Invaded Russia in
the spring of 1041.
The Pelicans played here two
years ago, when this year's Eu
gene seniors were mere sophies
but Mr. Ramsey wnsn't a Pelican
then, he whs having just average
success wilh the Corvallis Spar
tans. During the past two years,
Ramsey has found the "Golden
Egg" at least partially laid be
fore he arrived. Many experts
consider that the man who should
get much of the credit for the
I'olleim KiKvps-.es during the p.nt
two years is Buck Hammer, who
coached K. Falls two years ago.
While it is true that Ramsey
found a 'rosy' situation In the
lumbering and potato town, tt
Is also true that he has made
the best of the fortunate circum
stances and certainly deserves his
share of the credit of putting
Klamath Falls on the mqp. He
is probably one of the leading
prep conches in the state outside
of Portland (especially since
Frit Kramer has at least tempo
rarily departed).
The Pelicans were undoubtedly
the No. 1 team last year, snd
how Vancouver beat them is still
a mystery, although Vancouver
is year-m and yesr-out as tough
as they come. They defeated the
strongest teams In the state last
year (except Marshfield whlrh
still claims the title although held
to a tie hv Grants Pass a team
that K. Falls slaughtered), and

LaGrande Threat to
Mac-Hi Grid Record
By MATT KRAMER
(Associated Press)
No less than, six undefeated
teams go into action this week
end In the tangled northwestern
Oregon district high school foot
ball race, but It's doubtful if all
of them together have more
worries than eastern Oregon's
lone unbeaten squad, McLoughlln
high.
The Mac HI Pioneers enter
tain La Grande at Milton-Free-water
Friday and could virtually
clinch a place In the state cham
pionship playoff by scoring their
sixth straight win of the season.
Mllwaukie Is Favored '
This will take some doing,
though. La Grande has four wins
and could tie the Pioneers for
district honors with a victory.
La Grande's lone loss was a 7-0
defeat at the hands of Mcc Hi,
and the Pioneers won that one
only through a late pass Intercep
tion and a long runback.

to their victory strings . In the

far this season.
But the most Interesting fact to
date about the coming K. Falls
clash is the arrival of the team
here Thursday. It's been a mighty
long time since a thing like that
has been done In regularly sched
uled (Tames as close as Eugene
and Klamath Falls. That means
that the team must stay In Eu
gene two nights (Thursday and
Friday), and most high school
business managers groan on a
one night's hotel expense.
But the Pelicans are definitely
out for the pennant at all costs,
and from all indications, this Is
a very important part of Ram
sey's strategy for the state title
a moral factor that can give
Klamath a victory before the tilt
ever gets underway (and most
fans feel that the game Is al
ready In the bag).
Mr. Ramsey has asked for
Thursday night to practice, to get
used to the field, lights, etc.
It seems problematical that this
will be- an open session in fact,
Ramsey will probably Invite the
whole KHS squad and followers.
He would have nothing to gain by
a secret workout, as no scrim
maging or secret offensive tactics
would be worked on the night
before a game. Also the Axe
men coaching staff has already
seen the Pelicans In action and
know more than they could gain
from watching a drill.
BUT and here is the Issue that
might decide the game If Mr.
Ramsey can parade his powerful
49-man squad, of .Klamath giants
before the F.HS team, showing
the prowess, power, kicking and
passing ability and all that he
can seriously demoralise the now

that the unit is coming from
Marshfield, but has also refused
to Identify the personnel of the
19-man squad to be brought here
Sunday.
It's the first time in his long
coaching career that Coach War
ren has found himself in such a
situation. As University of Oregon
coach he was usually armed with
opponents' style of play and the
prowess of each individual oppon
ent gained through scouting re
portsplus movies. Even in his
high school coaching days "Hon
est John" was usually somewhat
acquainted with every rival.
So it's no wonder the ASTU
soldier-trainee coach is slightly
suspicious of his next opponents
especially after hearing rumors
the unit, composed of several ex
collegiate gridmen, have played
two full seasons together.
The cavalry commander, how
ever, denies having a food team.
His only Information is that the
team has never playd together
before and the-squad is composed
exclusively of former high school
players. -
Attempting to gather some in
formation from the Coos Bay
Times, daily newspaper In the
Marshiield area, the ASTU pub
licity director was informed by
the "lady" sports editor that the
Cavalry had "played here last
night in the band."
' In the meantime Warren has
been drilling his Army Ducks un
der the one-hour daily schedule,
and followers predict a much
superior performance Sunday
over last week's creditable show
ing in losing 25-6 to the exper
ienced Willamette ' University

of the unit, promises another

Penn Charged With
Trimming Ivy Rivals
PHILADELPHIA, Oct.. 21. OP)
Reports from New York that the
University of Pennsylvania is
"laying it on" against Ivy League
teams this fall drew an indignant
denial from Coach George Munger
last night. ,
"We're not trying ' to run up
scores on anybody," Munger said,
"I don't feel that either team ben
efits from such a game. On the
other hand, it's not football to kick
on first down or try for a field goal
when a touchdown may be scored."
Discussing Penn's 47-9 victory
over Princeton and 41-7 drubbing
of Yale, which apparently drew
the criticism, Munger pointed out,
"we cleared the bench in both
games and any time a substitute
gets into a game, he's in there to
do all he can."
As the reports that Columbia
was in for "the same treatment"
Saturday, "we're going over there
to play a game and win if we can.
We'll be lucky to win," said Mun
ger.

If he can also parade his squad
members through the city Thurs
day and Friday, he can put the
same effect into the followers,
(though this will probably create
more interest) which indirectly
will also put a demoralizing
spirit into Eugene folowers and
gridsters. And that piece of psy
chology can be enough in itself
to turn the trick.
But on top of that. Mr. Ramsey
also has a dream horde some
thing to see from all Indications,
and if the Axemen win it will be
the year's biggest upset. How
ever, It wasn't too long ago that
Fritz Kramer had a team that
could rank as an equal If not bet
ter than Mr. Ramsey's present

groomed as state champions. All
that was left was little University
