    FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE " Wednesder. Oct. 17, 1943
Captain Darrell Riggs Probably Out
Of Tornado Lineup Against Pelicans
The Medford-KIamath Falls a total of 198 points to their op-
football gam, to be played In
Klamath Falls Friday night, will
be broadcait oyer radio station
XMED, beginning at 8 o'clock,
it was announced today.
Captain Darrell Riggs, who Is
ona of the outstanding linemen
In Oregon high school grid cir
cles, will probably ba out of the
crucial game with Klamath Falls
Friday night. Coach Al Simpson
said today. Riggs, 185-pound left
end, suffered a broken nose In
the Eureka game here last week
nd, although he has returned
to school Monday after a week
end in the hospital, he has not
reported for practice.
Use of medicines to relieve
the pain have left the lanky
flankman "woozy" and It is un
likely he will be in physical con
dition to play, even with a nose
guard, Simpson said.
Lynn Bessonotte and Howard
Whillock, starting tackles,
have been battling with a touch
of flu for the past few days but
will probably be ready to go
for at least part of the game,
the mentor declared. Remainder
of the team was in good shape
this morning, after a couple of
days of heavy workouts for the
battle at Klamath Falls.
Klamath Falls is sparked by a
pair of backs by the names of
Edwards and Redkcy who are
good men in any league and are
not to be sold short against tnc
Tornado. Both are much faster
than the average high school
backfleld man and will be away
for a touchdown whenever they
can break into the clear.
The Pelicans have played four
games, breaking even with two
wins and two losses. Last time
out they dropped a 13-12 decis
ion to Grants Pass in a Southern
Oregon league clash. Medford,
on the other hand, has amassed
ponents' seven In winning four
straight.

A LIBERTY SHIP has been named for James G. Squires of Everett,
Mass., second cook on the torpedoed S. S. Malantic, and a Mer
chant Marine Distinguished Service Medal awarded posthumously.
Squires clung to a rope thrown to the life boat in which he, the ship's
master and nine other crewmen floated on rough seas until the other
tea were safe on a British rescue craft after the torpedoing. Then he
lapsed into unconsciousness and was swept away. Investment in Vic
tory Bonds to support living heroes is a testimonial, too, to such men.

OF PGA OFFICIAL
Seattle, Oct. 17 U.R) Seattle ;
golfers were up in arms today ,
over reported insinuations by
PGA Tournament Manager Fred
Corcoran that the Broadmoor I
course, scene of the $10,000 Se-!
attle Open, Is not of champion
ship caliber.
Corcoran was quoted In a Chi-
cago interview as saying that, in i
future all links would be sur-:
veyed before being rated as
championship courses. The sur
vey would take in length, haz
ards, greens and terrain. ,
M. O. Anderson, Broadmoor
Golf club president, said he be-
lieved Corcoran's statement was ;
prompted by the fact that Se- i
attle Amateur Harry Givan tied
for second place with Pro Harold I
(Jug) McSpadcn at 272, eight I
strokes under par for 72 holes.
"Why didn't Corcoran survey !
the Broadmoor layout before the !
tournament when he was in the
state instead of waiting until he ,
returned to Chicago," Anderson :
asked. "During the Seattle Open,
even some of the big name golf
ers ran up embarrassingly high
scores."
