lest Friday travel to Klamath Falls
Friday night for their big game oi
the year against the Pelicans of
Coach Snowy Oustafson. The game
la called for 8 p. m. under the
lights at Modoc field.
The Tigers may be forced to enter
their first Southern Oregon con
ference battle minus the services ot
Jack am. speed-burning right half
back and big Eldon Grow, battering
fullback. Hill received kick In the
head against Eureka, and Coach Bill
Bowerman has been forced to elim
inate the speed merchant from con
sideration. Orow was taken out ot
ths Eureka game with a bruised
muscle In his leg, and still can't
maneuver like he should. Bowerman
stated that both were doubtful
starters.
Dan Ehrhart and Hubert Santo,
tackles, both received leg Injuries
but will probably be ready for
Klamath Falls, the coach said. Other
than those, all Tiger players are In
good condition.
So far this week, the Tigers have
been taking things easy. Afraid ol
the possibility - of Incurring more
and serious Injuries, Bowerman haa
ssaed off In drllla In an attempt to
save what man-power he baa left.
Klamath Falls won the annual
battle laat year, 3-0.

with such an affair. You can also take
the Stanford-Washington squabble,
for that's another which looks like
pure, unadulterated dynamite Any
thing can happen, and probably will.
And. how about the USO-Callfornta
encounter. It was all Cal until last
Saturday when Amblln' Amby Shlnd-
ler got out and ambled against
prettty fair Oregon outfit. Now, the
"eggsperts" don't know which way to
turn, and are wondering whether they
can't call the whole thing off. An
other major headache la that UCLA-
Washlngton State encounter. Try and
name the winner; It's one of those
"tossup" affairs, as are all the rest.
UP, BUT NOT OVER went Yale's All-American Captain
Clinton Frank as he tried to liurdle an opponent in a recent same
with Pennsylvania, bnt the Quaker cluni; to Frank's legs, limiting
his gain to a single yard. Nevertheless Frank went on to spark the
team to victory.

yesterday he would appear twice

Kenaston would, grace the program.
Llllard haa had hundreda of requests
that hla opponent be Pete Belcaatro.

Incidentally, Kenaston asked a

when the entire country called
It the "Oold Hill crab." Even

Although falling to crack tne vic

far from dissatisfied with hla Jun

rapidly and are about ready to pro

Tag Football Goes Great
In First Season of Play
By County's 'B' League
(By B. Applecate.)
Due to the hardfelt lack of a satisfactory fall sport, the "B" league
schools of the county hsve gone Into the rudiments of six-man football
with a great deal of enthusiasm. Heretofore, this league, made up of Tal
ent, Phoenix, Rogue River, Gold Hill, Sams Valley, Central Point snd
Jacksonville, haa had to leave football to Its two largest members, Cen
tral point snd Gold Hill.
Not so this season. Not wishing to i

substitute some other sport for foot
ball, Rogue Rtver, Talent and Oold
Hill were Imbued with the Idea of
playing touch football. And so far
these schools have had a very suc
cessful season and have derived much
unexpected enjoyment from the game
The way la now paved for real tackle
football for next year If the neces
sary equipment can be purchased by
each member of the league.
Football Takes Money.
It takes money to play football;
In fact, equipment at lowest prices
will run $15 to $30 per man. and In
the past the "B" schools have found
It hard to stand the costs. To de
rive any satisfaction from 11 -man
tackle football, a school has to have
at least one fairly good team and
then a second team to provide both
substitutes and scrimmage fodder.
Lack of man power has been a com
mon grievance In the past to these
small schools.
This year the solution was found
In the new six-man game which Is
Just beginning to carry the country
by storm. This brand of ball has
been played for quite some time In
the east and Is well past the experi
mental stage. The game requires
only six men on a side and Is very
much like the regular game except
for this one exception. , It Is more
of a passing game because the larger
number of backfield players In pro
portion to the linemen makes it
easier to run around ends or gain
through the air. Scores will run up
much higher for this reason, and,
if anything, this adds to the Interest.
Same Fundamentals.
Fundamentals such as blocking,
tacklljig and kicking are the same
aa In the regular game. One Im
portant rule change specifies that all
men but the center are eligible to
catch a pass. Of course with only
three men on the line this Is almost
obvious since the man playing In the
middle of the line will be the center
and the other two, one on each side,
the ends.
Since the "B" league schools did
not have the equipment necessary for
the tackle game, they have substi
tuted touch football instead and I
wish to say that this game la no
bed of roses. Rules, followed by all
members of the league, stipulate that
the ball carrier must be touched be- .
tween the hips and the knes. This
makes a little sportier game and a
ball player has to practically leave
his feet to tag a fast moving man
on an end around play.
Hard Knocks Remain.
Then, too, a certain amount of body

contact in the way of blocking is
allowed. This means that you've got
to get In there hard and pretty low
If you're going to be effective and
sometimes the men take some pretty
hard knocks. Many a player has been
sent bouncing In the dirt; you'll no
tice that I dont say turf, because
some of the fields played on are
awfully hard and strewn with fine
gravel that eats into your hands when
you touch the ground with a little
force.
So far there have been no casualties
tn the conference, but brulseB and
bumps are not uncommon.
Shows Up Talent.
Believe it or not, this touch foot
ball shows up potential talent In a
hurry. It doesn't take long to see
who would make a good blocker and
who wouldn't, or a ball carrier or a
passer. The greatest thing that can
be said for the game 1b that It gives
the fellows a chance to learn their
football and furthermore there Is
something to It In the way of a back
ground for players who want to go
on to college. I would rather have
a man on my team who had several
years of touch football under his belt
than one who had about the same
talent bot no experience of any kind
whatsoever.
So far. Rogue River, by getting the
Jump in an early start, has the best
record in the league. By the end of
the season things could very well be
quite different. Phoenix has lately
como Into the picture wtth a team
and although they have taken a beat
ing from Rogue River they are learn
ing fast and ahould give the river
men a real tussle later on.
Talent, also doing well, has yet to
meet Rogue River. This could be any
body's game for Talent has been Im
proving fast. Gold Hill has suffered
two defeats from Rogue River but
has a good team and may come out
differently when It faces some of Its
other rivals. Sams Valley is the only
team In the league not playing the
game, and I think that practically
all the other members of the league
are looking forward to playing real
tackle football next year.
