KLAMATH FALLS
MEETS ASHLAND
HERE FRIDAY
Klamath Falls Pelicans and tae
Ashland high Grizzlies both un-
defeated tn pre-season play, meet
- -.-.ay night begmnig at b oiock,
on Walter Phillips field in the
southern Oregon conference open­
er for both teams.
The Pelicans have beaten Grant
high of Portland, Redding and
ù*tureka while Ashland downed
JHKheir lone opponent, LAkeview,
20-0.
Ashland will be outweighed 1H5
pounds to 160 pounds for thia
crucial game. The Pelican line
i
is led by gigiantic Phil Blohm.

third year of Pelican ball. Full­
back Gordon McKay weighs 205
pounds and stands six feet, two

halfback is a tough and fast
ball carrier and once he gets out
in the open the Pelicans are al-
most sure of a touchdown. He is
one of the most shifty backfield
men seen in the conferen.ee in
•cveral years.
In the game with Eureka last
week which the Pelicans won 2«
to 6 Bill Mast proved a powerful
line plunger and very fast.
In spite at Klamath's good re­
putation, Ashland mentor Roland
Parks is optomistic
about his
team's chances of upsetting the
favored Pelicans.
Parks has
vowed that Klamath Falls will
know they have been through a
ball game no matter which team
wins. He claims his team's double
and single wing backs and bag
full of razzle-dazzle, plus the air
being full of passes, will give
Coach Frank Rapasey's club a
headache before it is over. The
Grizzlies are bitting harder and !
charging faster than they have '
for several years.
Parks is planning on shifting 1
Barney Riggs from his tackle
position to right half, Riggs has
shown up remarkably well at this
position during practice this week
and might see some action there
against the Pelicans. Parks also
announced that no position on the
entired starting lineup is secure
and said that each man will have I
to fight hard if he wants to keep ■
his starting berth.
The probable starting lineup
for Ashland against Klamath
Falls will be Kerr or Weybrant
at left end, Gettling at left tackle,
Cawson or D. Arant
at right
tackle, Green or Roberson at right
end.
In the backfield will be
Elam at quarter. Marquess at left
half, Riggs or Caton at right half
and Owen Griffith at fullback.
The Klamath lineup was not
available at press time.
The Ashland high school girls'
drill team will be featured during
the half-time intermission and the
high school band will furnish
music throughout the evening.

Owen Griffith fullback, scored
the first Grizzly touchdown on
power drives and converted the
extra point by going off tackle.
Again m the second period it was
Griffith who, by power plays,
reached pay dirt. The conversion
attempt failed. Billy Elam got
through the line for the final
touchdown and Mark Marquess
took the ball around end for the
extra point.
The Grizzlies, light but fast,
looked surprisingly good on pow­
er plays and was featured by the
thrilling end runs of Marquess,
sophmore halfback.
Dick Kerr, end, was removed
from the game in the first quar­
ter with a broken nose and Teddy
Clawson, guard, went out in the
second quarter with a wrenched
knee. Griffith was taken out in
the third period with a rib injury
andd Ken Caton, halfback suf­
fered a Charley horse in each leg
in the final period. All are ex­
pected to be back in shape for
the Klamath Falls game.
Those seeing action against
Lakeview were Green, Kerr, Ro­
berson ends; Riggs, Gettling, D.
Arant tackles; Wolcott, Clawson,
Hall, guards; B. Davis and Bar-
telt, centers; N. Arant and Grif­
fith fullbacks; Caton, Marquess,
Ross, Landing halfbacks; and
Elam, quarterback. All 18 play­
ers, who made the trip, saw ac­

When he later
finds Lois gone he enlists the aid of Sher­

his innocence. They go to the cabin

Curran have already brought Judge Lon­

Curran, how­
ever. double crosses Ferris and kills him
instead. Just as Dave and the sheriff
arrive on the scene. In the fight that
follows Curran escapes.
Dave felt a searing pain in his
left arm as a thrown knife gashed
the muscles. The thrower came on
with a leap. Seeing a knife up­
raised. Dave brought down his re-
volver muzzle on the man's head.
smashing it like an eggshell.
Two men flung themselves upon
Sims, who was swinging his gun in
an arc about his head. Leaping
forward. Dave sent one of them
senseless to the ground. Sims
swung his gun and knocked the
other cold.
"Thanks, Bruce.” he gasped
Then Dave whirled as a man
came breaking through toward him.
It was Curran. The foreman had
hung back, intending to let the
Cross-Bar crowd do his fighting for
him. But the sight of Dave had
driven him mad with rage and
transformed his face into the mask
of a wild beast. He leaped, gun in
hand, and snapped the trigger, the
muzzle a foot from Dave's fore­
head.
''
Dave had just warning enough to
swing his head aside. The blast
of the powder burned his cheek
black from chin to temple,
He
swung his revolver muzzle in a
narrow arc and landed on Curran's
face.
Shrieking horribly with anguish.
Curran turned and ran.
Curran's course of flight was tak­
ing him toward the horses that the
attacking party had left standing.
And then of a sudden a shout of
triumph
burst
from
Curran’s
throat, and at the same moment
Dave saw the five horses, bunched
together.
He fired his last shot, and it went
wild. Curran must have heard the
click of the hammer on a spent
cartridge as Dave pulled trigger
again, for he turned and roared
! curses at his pursuer.
"I'll see yuh again, yuh swine!”
he bellowed. "I’ll git yuh, Bruce!”
And blindly Curran grasped at
the mane of the horse that stood
nearest him, and thrust foot into
| the stirrup.
That was where fate intervened
and stacked the cards against him.
For that horse was Black Dawn.
With a squeal of fury, Black
Dawn whirled and seized the fore­
man's leg in his strong teeth, crush­
ing it, and dragging Curran shriek­
ing from the saddle. He flung him
i to the ground, and shrieks of man
and horse blended together in a hid­
eous pandemonium as Curran
struggled helplessly to escape.
Dave tried to whistle to Black
Dawn, but the stars were circling
overhead, and he collapsed, half
conscious, on the ground near the
dead man.
The stinging taste of whisky in
his mouth revived him.
Dave
opened his eyes and saw that it
was dawn. He was lying where
he had fallen, but a blanket had
been spread beneath him. He felt
a stab of pain in hls left arm,
looked at it, and saw that his shirt
sleeve had been cut away, and that
j the wound had been bandaged.
I "Dave! Oh, ~
Dave, are you all
right?”
It was Lois bending over him,
her tears dropping upon his face.
Beside her stood Sheriff Coggswell.
The horses and Curran’s body were
gone.
"I’m all right,” Dave mumbled.
"Black Dawn? He’s safe?”
"He’s safe, Dave.” It was the
sheriff who answered him.
Dave was getting on his feet.
"Curran — Black Dawn trampled
him—” he began.
"Yeah, he's dead,” said Coggs­
well. “Set down, if yuh won’t lie
down." He rolled a cigarette and
handed it to Dave, squatting be­
side him. "Sims got them Mexi­
cans rounded up and hogtied. 1

"Lonergan talked to a certain
point last night, and then he shut up
tight. So I went down to examine

was still alive, and anxious to make
an ante-mortem statement. He just

Coggswell paused in his story and
rolled Dave another cigarette.
"Miss Lois is Blane Rowland's
daughter,” he said. "Rowland's
wife had divorced him, and he'd
come West, leavin’ Miss Lois with
her mother. He'd never spoke
about his wife and daughter, but
Lonergan found out when he went
through his papers. After that, Lon­
ergan's main idea was to keep Miss
Lois from gittin' her share of the
ranch.
"He got the Hookers to take her
from the orphanage where she'd
been put after her mother died,

to have her under his eye. Well,
Hooker had been flndin' out things,
and got to shootin' off his mouth,
so Lonergan sent Curran to the
cabin to kill him and put the crime
on yuh.
"Way things stand now. Miss Lois
is half-owner of the Cross-Bar, and
if Ferris had any heirs, they got to
pay up that twenty thousand that
was stolen, which means in effect
that Miss Lois is the sole owner.
