Challenge Pelicans to Return Game as Answer to
Post -Game Claims
Of Blunder Strain
Cordial Relations
By DTCK AWLEGATB
Xn reply to chargee hurled from various Klamath Fall Khool official
today, alloalng phoney worfc on the part of Coach BUI Bowerman of Med
ford and Howard Scheffel of Medford, Bo worm an this morning telephoned
the Klamath achool and offered to r e-play the game, here.
"If the Pelican persist In
their!
allegations that the Tigers won the
game on aXullduggery and not on
football, a fine way to settle the
dispute would be for the Pelicans to
come to Mediora, eiwier wavcmwr id,
when Medford has an open date, or
any other time, and I will guarantee
them a oO-O heating," Bowerman wia
them.
Idea Not Favored.
The Idea did not find favor with
the achool officials from over the
mountain, who said that there was
little probability that a second game
would be played.
Answering the changes aa to Howard
Scheffel being a "pinch-nit" umpire,
Bowerman said: "Before the game
-we were to arrange with Klamath
Tails as to oficlaU. In their first
letter to me they suggested Al Hop
kins. L. L. Deal and Clyde Young. :
approved the first two but balked at
Young, and suggested Hod Turner of
Kosebura In bis place. Klamath
promised to get In touch wltu Tur
ner. On October 31, I received a letter
tram them, making no mention of
Turner but suggesting Lynn Roycroft
of Klamath Falls. Prank Hail of
Klamath Palls and Bob Thompson,
also of Klamath Palls. I had never
heard of Thompson or Hall, so refused
to use them. I had heard, of Roy
croft, so refused to use him. The
evening before the game I wired Deal,
asking him to be there without fall.
Z had Klamath's sanction on Deal.
"Saturday the only two officials
who put lrt on appearance were Deal
and Roycroft. I had never approved
' Roycroft. Al Hopkins had not ar
rived two minutes before the game.
The Klamath officials proposed that
axCoach French of Klamath Falls be
head-linesman. There being no al
ternative, X accepted. Just before the
game started Howard Scheffel, who
was there as a spectator but who Is
an approved official, was suggested,
and with Avrit's approval, started the
gome. Avrit wanted Bcheffel to ref-
eree, as a matter of fact.
Hopkins Arrives Mte.
"After the first quarter was nearly
over, Hopkins srriced. Klamath
wanted him to take Scheffel's place.
Since Roycroft had never been ap
proved, I asked that Hopkins take
hla place. Klamath roluacd to allow
this, bo Hopkins didn't work at oil.
That aeema fal enough to me. We
promised to pay Hopkins for his trip
from Cove City," Bowwnwn said.
Jerry Jerome, Med ford tlmokeeper
quoted by Klamath officials as de
claring the ball not over by "18
inches" on the disputed pass, today
hotly denied that he had ever made
v auch an announcement. "There was
never any doubt, either expressed or
implied, on my part, as to whether
that pass waa over. It was over by
at least the length of a ball. The
egument over time out, where Klam
ath charges Scheffel with penalizing
the Klamath team for too many times
out Is ridiculous.
"The argument came as to whether
time out should be charged when
Klamath Falls made a substitution
while the ball waa In play. That
automatically made time out, and
this decision was backed up by Deal.
There was no penalty called by Schef
fel or anyone else. I can't imagine
where they got the idea that there
waa," Jerome suld.
xcheffel Tell Action.
Scheffel, the subject of all the con
troversy, today made this announce
ment: "Since all criticism seems to
be directed toward me, I'd like to
make a statement.
"About two minutes prior to the
time for calling the game. Coaches
Avrit snd Bowerman approached me
an J requested that I umpire the game
'or the reaaon that one of the of
ficials had not arrived. I certainty
did not solicit the Job, and would
not luxve acted In any official capac
ity for any other reason.
"The only disputed point during
the entire game waa the completed
pass and resulting touohdown dur
ing the last few minutes of play.
Standing directly on the goal line. I
wss in a position to determine with
out question whether the ball was
over the line or not, when downed.
"I did not immediately declare
touchdown as I was not positive that
the ball carrier was Inside the bound
ary when receiving the pass. I satis.
fled mysflf on this point oy going
over to the sideline and determining
thnt the receiver of the pass was well
within the field of play before cross
ing the goal line. It is custmAry
for the referee to rely on the umpire
to call the point of down cm com
pleted forward pause and punts, and
It was understood between Referee
Deal and myself before play was
started that this rule would bo fol
Jowtd.
Would Do It Again.
"What happened when the game
waa over la a closed in. Went as fax
as I am concerned. X oal1d the dls
puted play exactly lis X saw it, and
would again under the same clrcura
stances." 6c he f Tel stated.
Principal C. O. Smith of the Med
ford achool today aunounocd that he
has received an apology from Klam
ath offldala for the assault on .V-hef-fel
In the dressing room after the
game, and said that it was probable
thai the Klamath authorities thm
skives would take action against the
players who perpetrated the anssult
on Scheffel.
It Is inexplicable to the writer
where Klamath got the idia that had
the pass been completed on the IB
Inch line t nit ad of over the goal
line, as It was. the bail would hav
gone to the Pelicans on dewn. Trite
the pass came on the fourth down,
but If it had been completed on the
18-lnch line, aa slhyed. it would have
been a first down, with four more
cracks at the goal. After carrying
the ball 80 yards In three minutes.
It Ls not too great an assumption to
imagine that with time for two more
plays, the ball would have been
rammed over.
Where Was Mnusmanf
And It ls also inexplicable to us
why Scheffel's decision that the ball
was over, and Scheffel waa standing
on the goal line, his duty being to
see whether It was over or not, should
be doubted, while that of Lynn Roy
croft, acting as head linesman at the
line of scrimmage a good 10 yards
away, should be accepted. According
to all dictates of the official rule
book, Roycroft should have remained
rooted to the scrimmage line so that
there could be no dispute as to where
the ball started If the pass had been
Incomplete.
If Klamath Pells Is still of the
opinion that they hava the bast ball
club, and were robbed of a win, or If
they doubt that Medford has a pow
erful enough team to be recognized as
a contender for the state champion
ship, then It seems reasonable that
they aeoept Bowerman 's challenge to
another game. They won't, but such
a game would settle the dispute for
ever, a seemingly Impossible feat un
less the game ls played.
"The dispute," the Klamath dis
patch states, "waa regarded here as
casting a shadow on Medford ' bid
for state honors." Then what an
opportunity for the Pellcsns to
change that "regard" Into an actu
ality. A re-play of the game would not he
repugnant to the Medford team who.
handicapped by sub-freezing temper
atures and an Icy and slippery field.
eken out a win over a team that they
regard aa definitely their Inferiors.
With an offense designed to work
against the lop-sided defense of the
Pelicans, local prog noatloa tors are
willing to back their opinion with ma-
lumt that Bowerman 'a offer to slvel
lack the howling Klamathltes 50-0
will prove accurate.
Klamath certainly has nothing to
lose except grounds for a grudge.
Medford ls willing to pay their ex
penses over and back and while they
are here. Already the Pelicans are
the records as having been de
feated. We'd like to see them come
on over the hill.

LAST MINUTE
BY
KLAMATH FALLS. Hot. 6. (AP)
Cordial athletic relations between
Klamath and Medford high schools,
rivals for over two decades, were on
the verge of disappearance today as
echoes of last Saturday's disputed
football contest on Modoc field con
tinued to rumble.
There waa a general feeling here
that a blunder on the part of Umpire
Howard Scheffel of Medford gave the
undefeated Medford team a last
minute victory over the underdog
Pelicans. The score waa 10 to 14.
Ruled Pass Touchdown
Bcheffel ruled that a pass, Smith
to Kunzman, gave the Tigers the win
ning touchdown. L. L. Deal, referee
from Grants Pass, said he was too far
from the play to make a decision.
Lynn Roycroft, head linesman from
Klamath, and Dr. George Wright of
Klamath and Jerry Jerome of Med
ford, timekeepers, said Kunzman was
downed on the 18-Inch mark. There
were but a few seconds remaining to
play In the game.
Les Avrit, Klamath coach, pointed
out a difference In opinions over
times out. Deal told the Klamath
coach Just before Medford scored that
the Pelicans were entitled to another
rest without penalty. When the team
took the time out. Scheffel penalized
it and gave Medford another down.
Meant Klamath's Ball
Had the referee's opinion held, the
coach said, and had the touchdown
play been stopped on the 18-lnch
mark, Klamath would have gained
possession of the ball. With the game
practically over. It was felt here that
Klamath would have won, 14 to 13.
Klamsth, underdog by three
touchdowns at the start, led through
the greater part of the contest and
outplayed the Tigers. The players
sought the victory eagerly for Med
ford has been beaten but once since
the first game In 1914. The victory
came In 1929, the year arier ronx
Calllson left, to become freshman
coach at the University of Oregon.
L. B. Emery, principal, said today
he was willing to offer the whole sit
uation to the State High School Ath
letle association for Investigation.
Avrit planned no formal protest on
the result of the contest.
No Comment on Assault
As to charges printed In the Med
ford Mall Tribune that a Klamath
player attacked Scheffel after the
game, Emery made no comment.
Apologies were made at tne urns.
he said, and Scheffel, recognising the
player's emotional strain, passed off
the inoident lightly.
The dispute was regarded here as
casting a shadow on Medford 'a bid for
the atate title.
Klamath has played both Eugene
and Medford, two undefeated Oregon
high schools. The players favored the
Eugene eleven as the team to play
the Portland winner.
Bcheffel was a plnch-hlt umpire,
Avrit said. Al Hopkins of Cave City was
originally signed to officiate but was
delayed by an accident. It wss agreed
with Bill Bowerman, Medford cosch,
that Hopkins should take over the
duties when he arrived. The Klamath
coach said Bowerman refused to
make the change after Klamath
scored a touchdown and led In the
first period, 7 to 8.

OREGON, WEDNESDAY,
FOR DUCK SQUAD
Bob Hlnman, star University of
Oregon Duckling end from Medford
high achool, was rated as one of
the most effective players on the
field In the first Frosh football
game against the Oregon State Rooks
at Eugene, according to a special
dispatch to the Mall Tribune from
the university news bureau. The two
teams meet again shortly and Hln
man ls expected to be a tower of
strength for the Frosh.
"Hlnman's experience - as an aoe
basketball player for three seasons
on the Medford maple court squad
makes him an extremely valuable
man on the offense. His ball handl
ing 'ability acquired by this sport
enables him to catch passes with
above average consistency," says the
dispatch.
"On defense, the ex-Pear Picker's
180 pounds of fight on a 0 foot l's
inch frame presents an obstacle dif
ficult for opponents to- eliminate.
Despite his weight, the southern
Oregon boy Is extremely fast in
getting down the field under punts.
Several times In the Rook game he
nailed the slippery Alexander, Rook
safety man, before he could get
under way with the ball.
"Hlnman has been one of the
four iron men of the yearling squad
In their last three games. He has
played every minute in these three
encounters. This time plus the 32
minutes of participation in the sea
eon opening game against the
SONS, makes him one of the leading
men in the number or minutes
played."
