PLANS TCI Awful Arme" in Action
Three of the four Southern
Oregon conference prep grid
eleven made auspicious itarti
along the 1940 football road over
the week-end. but even tnougn
each of the trio turned In vic
tories it if still too early to
make prediction ai to their
ultimate itanding at the cloie of
the season.
The Klamath Falls Pelicans
operated in fairly impressive
fashion to stop Chico, (Cal.) high
school at Klamath, IS to 0. Ash
land's Grizzlies, sparked by 190
pound Martin Herrin, fullback,
presented new coach Leighton
Blake with a 7 to 6 conquest of
Lakeview at Lakeview. And the
Grants Pass Cavemen looked fair
in thumping Dunsmuir, (CalJ
high at McCloud, 7 to 0.
Coach Bill Bowerman of Med
ford's Black Tornado, the lone
Iood team which didn't unveil
Its 1940 edition, was among those
present when Klamath climbed
over Chico, and his reaction to
the performance of the Pelicans
should be of passing interest
Klamath and Medford tied for
the league title last season and
are again expected to fight It
out for the crown.
"Snowy's taam showed a lot
of promise." the Medford
coach slated. "They are all
about the same slse, and li
lookad to ma like the club
would average around ISO
pounds. No giants- on the
taam, and no lightweights,
either. Just well-balanced
aggregation.
"Chico was clearly outplayed,
and actually the score should
have been much larger than it
was. The Pelicans should have
cored twice more in the first
half and once more In the sec
ond half. However, as in most
first games, the Pelicans were
rather erratic. They would dia
play real class for while, then
bog down. But they have the
makings of a very good team."
Ashland reports Indicate that
the Grizzlies will this year rely
a great deal on deception and
wide open tactics, something that
has been rather out of favor the
past several seasons. Quite a
bit of mirror-work and aerial
stuff was pulled against Lake
view, with Herrin's smashing
line-plunging aiding by keeping
the defense drawn close.
The Cavemen, possibly be
cause they were playing an awful
tough Dunsmuir outfit, didn't
look like world-beaters. How
ever, according to local persons
who saw the game, Loren Tut
tle'a team made it clear it would
be no pushover for anybody. As
usual, it showed a stubborn de
fense with not too much scoring
potency.
After next week-end. it will
be possible to get a much better
line on how the Southern Ore
gon circuit teams stack up. Med

armory carpet with the remains
of the brutal pair.
Whether, In the face of a
concerted onslaught by the
quartet of popular favorites,
Nazarian and Nenoff will pool
their own underhand tactics as
a means of protection, is a
question that won't be answer

actual battling. However, Pro

Nazarian.
Mike Faces Defeat
If he does, that will make
the c 1 e a n i e a' Job slightly

naturally be harder to handle

Nenoff does, Nazarian apparent

on the part of their rivals yester
day and vaulted back on top. a
full game in front of the Detroit
Tigers.
Feller led the way to a double
decker decision over the Phila
helphia Athletics with one of his
best performances. He gave up
only two hits, struck out seven
and for the second time in his
major league career allowed no
walks, in scoring a 5 0 shutout.
He retired the first 22 batters in
order and looked like he might
get another no-hitter until Dick
Siebert singled in the eighth.
It was Feller's 25th win
against nine losses. The Indians
had some trouble in the nightcap
when the A's got rough with Al
Smith, but George Caster, after
pitching no-hit ball for four
frames, blew wide open and the
Tribe triumpher 8-5 with four
runs in the fifth and three more
off Chubby Dean In the seventh.
At the same time the man-eating
Tigers were tamed 6-1 by
Dutch Leonard of the Washing
ton Senators, who gave only six
hits and one run a homer by
Rudy York.
