Merrill grabbed the Saturday encounter 18-18 after the Rogues took the Friday mix 28-21. Re ports from Rogue River indicate that the Klamath county crew is a big, rugged club that is fast and aggressive and that their tall pivot man, Frothingham bottled up, considerably, towering Dick Huntoon of the Rogues. A close fight that can go either way is predicted. Rogue River played four games last week and evidenced weariness in the Saturday clash. Wild Throw Loses Canal Zone Game For N. Y.

Bob Kenaiton meets Jumping Joe Lynam in the main event and Paavo Katonen mixes with Angelo MariinelU in the semi-windup. Loud boos emanating from the Klamath Falls rooting section at the Medford-Klamath game at Ashland last Friday night dis played poor sportsmanship from our way of thinking. Klamnth fans, composed al most entirely of student body supporters, started booing Med ford as soon as the Tornado came onto the floor for their warm-up licks and it continued In some form or another until the game was over. Booing of Bob Watson when a technical foul was called on him was entirely uncalled for. we believe. Maybe Watson did get a little hot-headed for a second when (he referee called a foul on him and we agree he should not have handled the ball in the manner which brought about the technical foul, but what did Klamath CALSHIP 2i All surplus materials and equip ment used In the wartime construction of ships-thousands of different Items are avail able for immediate delivery and priced for quick disposal.

Ixcfuslve Sales Representatives for CALIFORNIA SHIPBUILDING CORPORATION supporters benefit by booing? After all, those players are merely high school kids and not i professional ball players. They I are playing their hearts out for entertainment of the crowd and I glory for their city and schoool and, we dare say, the feelings of any high school ball player are easily hurt by booing. Referees Al Lightner and Chuck Schmidt were roundly hooted for just about every foul they called on the Peli cans. Lightner and Schmidt called a grand game, in our opinion, and were in no way deserving of the cat-calls from the Klamath stands. They are a lot closer to the play than the fans and in a much better position to see what actually goes on. And every time Mctlford's rooting section would start an organized yell, the KF cheer loaders would jump to their feet and request a yell, ordering their followers to "drown them out." No, we just can't see that way of doing things. We were quite surprised to read in Hale Scarbrough's col umn in the Klamath Kails Her ald and News the oilier tlay that Al Simpson's taking the head football coaching job at Salem "left Klamath Falls somewhat in the lurch, Just about knocked the drops out from under the 1946 Pelicans," as he put it. Scar- brough went on to say that the Simpson matter had progressed almost to the pen and paper stage. The KF sports editor said Al had been made a good offer to come to Klamath Falls as boss of the Pelican gridiron gladiators and had asked that the situation be kept quiet tin til after basketbirfl season, fig uring he rildn t want anything to pop out while he was trying to pilot his Tornado to a state basketball title. Scarbrough goes on to say that Simpson intimated to school officials at Klamath Falls that the three best coach ing spots in the state were at Medford. Portland and Klamath Falls. If Simpson really feels that way, we can't see why he took the Snlem post, but he did and that's his business. At any rate. Klamath Falls, scheduled to hire a grid boss the other day. Is still without a football coach. The part of the whole thing that surprises us is that Simpson- told us quite while ago that ha never had applied for a football coaching ob at Klamath Falls. He had been approached, true enough, but had not applied. Fred Zimmerman, sports edi tor of the Salem Capital Jour nal, says there has not been a bit of criticism with the Salem school board's decision to add Simpson to the coaching staff, so far as he has been able to KM AST Ml" 0 "V" v " .rvCB AN0 vY 1 OU "'V ' , 0 1 iifflmMinfim Dept. 109 Breatheasy Distributors.

Jim Dlmit, phy sical director at the Salem Y who was a classmate of Simp son at University of Oregon, has nothing but the highest praise for the Vikings' new coach, Fred writes. From this corner, we can't see why there should be any criticism for hiring a man who has won 26 out of 29 football games in the last three years. elks Turnback portland 57-49 Portland. JVUrch 4 Ashland Elks got off to a quick lead and maintained it throughout to de feat Portland Naval Barracks, 57 to 49, in the AAU basketball tournament nere yesterday.
