Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Says: Pelicans Imprest Local Coaches In Opening Contest The Black Tornado coaching jtsff Bowerman, Achcson. Klrtley plui Leonard B. May lield, principal and a former grid tutor, himself, were rather Impressed with the Klamath Falls Pelican eleven that out acored Chlco. Cal., 19 to 13. last Friday night. The consensus of these gentle men, all of whom viewed the contest from the top row of bleacheri. was that Buck Ham mer, having his first fling as chief mentor following the de parture of Arthur (Snowy) Gus tafson to Fort Ord, had done a pretty fit Job cf work on ready ing the Pelicans for their Initial 1941 struggle. Like all clubs on opening day, the red and white-clad Klam athltes were ragged at times. Their blocking and tackling was spotty and their play develop ment was far from consistently smooth. But they showed flashes of a lot of potential power and some deception, and It was the opinion of the local quartet that before the season Is over Mr. Hammer's eleven will prove a tough baby. Eugene Love, a second team all-conference back and voted the most valuable player on the team in 1940, looked like the best back the Pelicans possess. He Is playing fullback this sea son. Is big and hard-hitting and Is fairly fast, though - not a streak. . The Pelicans have a real breakaway threat In Ralph Foster, ISO-pound lad who wears glasses and plays safety. Foster Is rapid. Is shifty as all eet-out and Is the whirling, spinning, pivoting type of runner that is liable to get away at any moment. He apparently is rugged enough to take punishment, and we predict he will score hatfull of touchdowns before the cam paign Is completed. The Pelicans employ the Notre Dame shift on offense most of the time, but occasion ally use that spread formation that gave the Tigers so much trouble last season. On defense they used a 6-2-2-1 setup that didn't prove effective against CIZZmZiZIZIkZiIZmMMMiZmS B(SKQI& SEASON OPENS SEPT. 2Cth Buy Your Hunting Supplies HUBBARD'S RED HATS Knifs & Ha,chel Combination Felt Water Proof SI .25 S5.25 WE HAVE USED GUNS All Leather RED SHIRTS GUN CASES Lined With Soft SI .39 gags LEATHER SLIPOVER RECOIL PAD 63e WINCHESTER 35 65 CARBINE $35.65 ALL-LEATHER CARTRIDGE BELT.. $2.25 WOOL SOCKS Psir 60e BERGMAN SHOE CREAM ....

(Chlco completed seven out of 12 for 164 yards, two of them going for touchdowns.) The defensive alignment was adequate against the Chico run ning attack, however, choking off the visitors at 44 net yards. i One of Klamath's best ground gaining plays was a naked re verse, on which the ball carrier circled wide without benefit of interference. It looked like, and probably Is, the same play the Tornado has employed so suc cessfully the past three years. (Remember how Bill Piche used to make the thing work; about half the time it was a touch down ) The acid test for the Pelicans, the game that will definitely in dicate whether the Hammer eleven is to be one of the best In the state or just another good ball club, comes next Friday ! night.

Phone 2189 TERRYMEN TIPPED BY 1-0 AND 6-5; S' NIP REDS Cards Rest Today While Dodgers Play Cincy Again Foxx Ties Record By Cayle Talbot Associated Press Writer It will be some time before baseball produces two gamer, more stout-hearted teams than the pair now locked in battle for the National league cham pionship. If either of them Intended to crack, yesterday offered a beau tiful opportunity. Both contend ers ran Into superb pitching and both trailed at one time or another,, but when the dust settled last night they both had won their games and still were breathing defiance. The St. Louis gang perhaps displayed the sterner fighting qualities in overcoming the Gi ants twice by scores of 1 to 0 and 6 to 9, the second tussle going 10 Innings. The double win enabled the Cards to reduce Brooklyn's lead to a game and a half, despite the Dodgers' hard-earned 7 to 3 victory over Cincinnati. The margin is certain to be changed one way or the other today, as the Cards take a rest while the Dodgers have another shot at the Reds. Pirates Split The defeat nearly cost Cin cinnati third place in the Na tional. Pittsburgh won its first game with the Phils, 2 to 1, and appeared to have the night cap sewed up until the Phils suddenly blasted loose for five runs In the ninth Inning to win it 8 to 3. A twin victory would have placed the Corsairs third. The Chicago Cubs split a pair with the Boston Braves. The Brsves blasted 15 hits to take the first 6 to 3. but absorbed a 10-3 licking In the second. Young Sid Hudson turned In the day's feature piece in the American league, yielding only four hits In pitching Washing ton to a 2-0 shutout over Detroit. The Cleveland Indians hopped on Marv Breuer for five runs In the eighth Inning to win the second game from the Yanks, 9 to 2, after losing the first 8 to 3. The Boston Red Sox virtu ally clinched second place by taking a pair from Chicago, 9-2 and 8-2, and their great first baseman, Jimmy Foxx, carved himself a hunk of baseball record by running his runs-batted-in total to 102. It marks the 13th year he has passed 100. tying the record held by the late Lou Gehrig. St. Louis shoved the Phila delphia Athletics Into the cellar by sweeping a double-header 7-2 Lnd 3-1. Philadelphia, Sept. 13. (Tl Jack Dempsey was chosen today for a major Job In the "Hale America" program. His appointment as deputy U.
