Billy Hulen Says;
Pelican Gridiron
Prospects Don't
Glitter As Usual
Like Medford and Grant
Pass, whose prep gridiron pros
pects for 1B40 nave Deen more
or less analyzed in this column
as of recent dates, the situation
facing Arthur (Snowy) Gustaf
son at big Klamath Union high
school is not one to bring on
thoughts of November claims to
the mythical Oregon state cnanv
oionship.
Guitafson. the ex-Oregon
State colleger, is in somewhat
the same canoe carrying Bin
Dniwnnin of the Black Tor-
nado and Loren Tuttle of the
Cavemen. A whole flock of reg
ulars from Snowy's 1939 un
beaten but tied-plenty Pelicans
are looking the world in the
eye armed with nothing more
than high school diplomas, and
Gustafson apparently must do
some heroic stuff If the red and
white Klamathites are to equal
last season's capable crew.
Eight 1939 lettermen are back
for more action at ' Klamath
Tails, but not all of them were
regulars last season. Gustafson
lost plenty of stars at the spring
commencement exercises, and
on paper, anyway, this year's
Pelican eleven is due for a de
cline. It may be sharp fall
and it may not, depending on
what success Snowy has in
mhinnins together a club com
posed of rather Inexperienced
lads with a fair sprinkling of
stripemen. Snowy, himself,
terms his material a "complete
mystery."
Three better-lhen-felr end
make Qustafson'a building Job
a soft touch at those positions.
Leading the trio of returning
veteran ilankmen is Harold
Weber, all-conference. Eugene
Love, who also played seme
quarterback last year, and
Marion Reginato are the two
other ends who are blessed
with considerable working
knowledge of the autumn
madness.
Only two lettermen are re
turning for duty In the middle
of the forward wall Don Rose,
guard and BUI Edmundson,
tackle. That leaves three vital
positions to be filled by boys
up from last year's Wildcat
squad, or from the varsity re
serves. In the backfield, Gustafson
will construct around Bill Chrls
tianson, left half; Don Shortd
gen, right half and Bob Miller,
quarterback. Love, in case he
Is needed more behind than on
the line, may be taken off end
and shoved back there with the
ball toters. Two transfers, fel
lows by the name of Patterson
and Howell, are being counted
on. Patterson is supposed to
have made all-state end in Mon
tant for two years, and Howell
is said to be a promising half
back from Washington state.
Glancing at the above, it
wouldn't seem to appear that
Klamath Falls can figure on a
terrific won and lost record this
fall. Not with the schedule Gus
tafson has lined up for his
charges. It Is a toughle. all
right, with nine ball games and
the first one coming next Fri
day night against Chico. Cal..
high at Klamath. Last year
Chico unleashed a last-period
aerial flurry to hand the Pel
icans their first of four tie
games.
Two more mean battles

The thought strikes us that
maybe Snowy has something
other than his arm up his
sleeve. For, despite the rather
gloomy paper prospects of the
Pelican aggregation, that Is cer
tainly a man-sized schedule
And. we ask you, would Mr.
Gustafson go out and produce
a slate like that If he didn't
foresee something better than a
mediocre machine? Not if we
know Snowy, he wouldn't.

McNeill's Dashing Style of
Play Too Much for Bobby
In Torrid Five -Setter.
By BUI White
Ww York. Seot. 10. (IP)
Rnhhv Ritoa was greater In de
feat today than he ever was in
victory.
The little fellow had Just seen
his most prired possession, the
national singles ienni cnam
plonship trophy, handed to Don
McNeill of Oklahoma City.
All afternoon the gallery of
7,500 at Forest Hills had ap
plauded wildly when Don came
off with a fine shot and only
mildly when Bobby did.
Ho hadn't been a DODular
champion and he knew It. So
when the presentation cere
mony was over, ana iron was
nriarl with back'SlaDDing
pats, Bobby walked through the
gathering dusk away worn me
crowded pres marquee, across
tha rnnrt nn which he had been
beaten, to a dressing room under
the stands and for tne nrsi
time he was the popular kid he
should be.
Crowd Applauds
Tha rrnwH cave him a sincere
burst of prolonged applause,
nartlv heeauae he had been
beaten but more because they
knew that In the past year ot
Ma raian ha hadn't been treated
as a champion should. And
heart-sick as he was, he walked
off in that Charley Chaplin man
ner of his with a big grin on his
face.
McNeill should be a popular
champion, for the forcing, dash
ing style of game he played to
day in knocking Bobby off his
throne, by scores of 4-0, 0-8,
6-3, 6.3, 7-3, is bound to be more
popular than Riggs' purely de
fensive style.
'DARK HORSEMtADS
EARLY QUALIFIERS;
BUD WARD FIRES PAR
Mamaroneck, N. Y.. Sept. 10.
0P Dick Chapmon of the home
club lopped three strokes off the
Wing Foot Oolf club par with a
brilliant 69 today, to take the
lead in the 36-hole qualifying
test of the national amateur golf
championship with a total of
140.
By Qayle Talbot.
Mamaroneck. N. Y., Sept- 10
P) They said this was one
amateur championship no "dark
horse" would stick his nose in
to, because Winged Foot was too
long and exacting a course for
any except the real star shoot
ers. Yet Maurice McCarthy, Jr.,
of Cincinnati was at the head
of the procession when play re
sumed in the second qualifying
round today.
McCarthy's 70 In yesterday's
opening round caused a good
deal of surprise, for nobody had
given much thought to him.
Maurice was a power a decade
ago, but he made his last real
bid in 1931, when he reached
the semi-finals.
Right on McCarthy's heels,
with 71's were Dick Chapman
of Winged Foot, John Cree of
Buffalo, and Tom Whlteway of
Cleveland. They were the only
others to take any liberties with
Winged Foot s par of 72. Most
scores ran so high, in fact, that
it looked like a brace of 77 s
would gain admission tonight to
the select group of 64 who will
qualify for man-to-man combat.
Seven equalled par in their
first tour of the course, includ
ing Marvin iBudi Ward of Spo
kane, the defending champion,
and a S to 1 favorite to repeat
Scolty Campbell, Seattle, shot
a 75.

2-1
By Associated Press
A battle royal for the Amer
ican league pennant brought the
four foremost teams into a fin
ish fight today, but the collap
sible Cleveland Indians couldn't
wait.
They folded their tent yester
day and abandoned the lead to
Detroit by dropping a 2-1 de
cision to the Chicago White Sox.
While all the other clubs in
the circuit were idle, the In
dians undertook to gain an edge
over their rivals by playing
their "cousins," from whom
they had won 16 out of 21 pre
vious games. But Lefty Thorn
ton Lee smothered them with
four-hit pitching.
This was the seventh setback
in eight games and forced the
Indians out of first place for
the first time since August 11,
leaving the clubs lined up like
this:
Team: To
Won Lout Pet. O B. play
Detroit ..... 77 7 .678 30
Cleveland.. 78 67 .871 14 21
New York.. 78 87 .688 1 33
Boaton 73 83 Ml JO
The fortunes of all four con
tenders were bound up in this
week's schedule, which called
for Cleveland to face the red
hot Yankees in a two-game ser
ies today and tomorrow while
the Detroit Tigers were defend
ing their lair against the Red
Sox. Then Thursday the world
champions were down to start
a three-game series in Detroit
while Boston's still ambitious
Sox open a smiliar series
against the tribe.
The Indians planned to lead
with their ace, Bobby Feller, in
an effort to stop .the surge of
the Yanks, who had won 17 of
their last 21 games. If he could
not then Cleveland's chances
were at the vanishing point.
There was a single game in
the National league too, the
New York Giants battering the
Brooklyn Dodgers 7-4.

LACK OF WEIGHT
NOTED AS TIGERS
A rather light gang of some
40 gridders reported to Head
Coach Bill Bowerman yesterday
afternoon as the current edition
of the Medford high school
Black Tornado opened a two
week period of drilling on the
home lot to get ready for its
1940 Inaugural against Weed.
Cal., high here Friday night,
September 20.
"The squad as a whole Is far
from beefy," Bowerman said,
'although they aren't feather
weights. Just rather light, I
would say." i
Not a great deal of business
was done yesterday, the boys
working on their blocking and
tackling and passing and punt
ing. They'll follow a similar
pattern for the remainder of
the week, the head coach
stated.
About 10 new Tiger aspirants
turned out to augment the
squad which returned Saturday
from a week's training session
at Lake of the Woods. Bower
man said several of the new
comers showed promise of de
veloping into good players.

NA7ARIAN TOSSES
ERNIE PILUSO FOR
SIX WINS IN ROW
Promoter Mack Lillard was
today anxiously scanning the
grappling horizon for an oppon
ent to toss in there against big
Mike Nazarian next Monday
night, and he wasn't overly con
fident of being able to obtain
anybody capable of making the
mean Armenian work up a good
sweat.
As a result of last night's
brawling main event, in which
Nazarian hammered Ernie Pi-
luso into submission in two
straight falls for his sixth con
secutive local victory and his
second in a row over Piluso,
Lillard found himself somewhat
in the same situation at that
facing Mike Jacobs, the New
York fight promoter. Both im
pressarios seem to have run out
of opponents for their ace work
men. Like one Joe Louis, Na
zarian apparently Is too good
for his field.
Nazarian did that thing to
Piluso in a match that lasted
only a little over 12 minutes.
He made Ernie give up for the
first fall by whipping on a ter
rific Japanese leg-strap after
pulverizing Piluso with foul
punches and other illegal ma
neuvers. Then, three minutes later, he
pinned Piluso for the second
faU and the match. The climax
was spectacular. Piluso launch
ed a sonnenberg off the ropes,
but Nazarian was ready for him.
The Armenian flipped Ernie
over and fell on him, and Ref
eree Earl Yoakley tolled oft the
three count with much haste,
the fans seemed to think- Yoak
ley had hardly said "three" be
fore Piluso squirmed oft the
canvas and applied a Boston
crab to Nazarian. But it was
too late; Yoakley already had
given the match to Nazarian
and although Piluso raged and
the fans roared, it stood that
Whitey Wahlberg. the Minne
sota newcomer, made his debut
in fine fashion. He grabbed a
gruelling two-fall-to-one victory
from Jack Hagen in the middle
event, in a match that sparkled
with clean and scientific wrestl
ing. Wahlberg got the first fall
in the second round with a trio
of neck-snappers, but Hagen
evened the count in the third
with a powerful headlock that
forced Whitey to holler "when."
Wahlberg used a shoulder stand
to clinch the bout In the fourth
canto.
Steve Nenoff, alias Tiger Tas
koff, dropped the opener to
George Wagner on a foul In the
third round, after Wagner won
the first fall in the second stanza
with a mighty dropkick to the
Nenoff chin, followed by a body
press. In the third round Nen
off, a mean character, failed to
heed the referee's warning to
cease his illegitimate tactics,
and the match was given to
Wagner.
Promoter Lillard said today
he would do his best to sign a
worthy toe for Nazarian next
week.

Big Applegate, Sept. 10 (Spl.)
Picnickers who don't believe
that dust belongs to a picnic
will., welcome., the., sprinkling
system to be completed next
month at the McKee Bridge
park, already one of the most
popular forest service parks In
the country.
Water la being obtained on
a section of the Albert Young
property adjacent to the park
known as the "China Diggings,"
and a crew of 12 CCC men from
Star Spike camp under the di
rection of D. C. Mills, is work
ing on the project.
Although the excavation is
under way primarily as a test
of the water supply, the opinion
was expressed by Forest Ranger
L. C. Port that an abundance of
water will be available. Between
8 and 16 gallons a minute al
ready Is supplied from one small
hole, the ranger said. The water
hole will be dug five or six feet
deep, and a one-inch pipe will
tap the 12-foot box lining the
spring. Eight hundred eighty-one
feet of pipe will carry the water
to the grounds, and with three
or four branch pipes, it Is esti
mated that a total of 1,500 feet
will be used. A Bagley bucket,
operated with a Caterpillar, is
used for the digging operations.
Owing to general tramping
over the grounds by users, the
ranger said that a lawn will not
be sown, but the park will be
kept damp, additional shrubs
will be planted, and flush toilets
will be installed- It is expected
that the work will be completed
by the last of October.
