EARLY FAVORITES New York, Sept. 10 U.B eastern collegiate football goes to the customers this fall, due to gasoline and rubber rationing, with Fordham and Pennsylvania looming as the top teams in the section. Schedule makers, to accommo date ticket purchasers with over used ration books have moved most of the traditional games from outlying stadiums to easily- accessible sites in New York, Philadelphia, Buffalo and Baltimore. Penn, favored to win the Ivy league for the third year in a row, and Fordham, battling for another bowl bid, were early choices to lead the East with most of the other teams stricken by lack of able reserves. Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Says: Five Transfers Bolster Pelican Football Squad Current goings-on in Klamath Falls leave little doubt in the writer's purported mind that Ample Frank Ramsey and his Pelicans are coming to Medford the evening of October 18 "loaded." Klamath scouts have gone over, not only that county but Siskiyou county in California as well, with a fine-tooth comb in search of hefty material for the Pelican pigskin squad, and if reports from there can be be lieved, the ivory-hunters were eminently successful. No less than five potential gridiron-great have transferred from hinterland schools to big Klamath high, and big Mr. Ram sey isn't a bit unhappy about it all. The typewriter of Bob Leon- ' ard, News-Herald sports editor, paints in glowing terms the ! prowess of one Gordon McKay from Henley, a six-foot-five-inch 1 gent weighing 225 pounds, who : desires to play some fullback for I the Blgbills. Glows Robert! "He can pilch a football 60 yards and crowds 23 seconds In the 220. He weighs 225 and If he can learn to start with any degree of celerity may plug the hole left by graduation of Gene Love. He is nothing short of a powerhouse." Less publicized, but rather ex pected to be almost as proficient on the turf, are Tackles Doug Clement, 195, Henley and James Conroy, 190, Chiloquin; and Backs Louis Beckers, 163, Chilo quin and Dick Rasmussen, 160, Tulelake, Calif. e These above-mentioned trans fers are among the 65 candidates now working out, 14 of whom are lettermen. In the batch are three regulars of the 1941 eleven Center Phil Blohn and Half backs Bill Christiansen and Don Mast, plus numerous others who saw considerable action. One of these is goggled Ralph Foster, who scampered 99 yards against Medford after catching punt. remember? The massive Mr. Ramsey Is new at Klamath Falls this year. Last season ha brought to Me'l- ford what he, and a lot of people upstate thought, was a terrific Corvallls aggregation. It might have been, at that, but the Black Tornado was unawed to the tune of 41 to 0. Copious Frank didn't like such business, neither did Corvallis, and that school decid ed .not to play Medford any more. Thus, although Cor-alH Is no longer on the Tornado schedule, Mr. Ramsey finds that he is, and the local popu lace can rest assured that Kla math Falls, this season, will probably be tougher and more . determined to stop the Tigers than any Pelican team has been in the past. Frank Ram sey will see to that. Two letters have been re ceived, one from Dwight Cath erwood and the other from Mickey Shader. Catherwood, ex-Phoenlx high I coach and leftfielder for the Craters until the last month of the season, writes: "I read where the Craters won the league championship and al so the President's cup playoffs. Please convey my congratula tions to the team and the asso ciation. I wish I could have been in on the kill. I have received my commission (navy) papers and am waiting for my orders to report." Dwight writes from Mill City, Oregon. Shader, who conducted the annual Cincinnati Reds' tryout camp for young baseball players here this summer, writes: 'The attendance at my 10 camps on the coast and in the northwest was 265 players, 70 per cent below other years. Players signed were Leonard N.el, shortstop, Eugene) How ard Lean, outfielder, Marys. . villa. Wash., and William Bochler, Spokane, Wash." Cm Mall Tribune Went ads. POISON OAK?
