Crater, KF
Vie for 3rd
In SO Loop
Central Point Crater high
travels to Klamath Falls Friday
night with the aim of winding
up in third place in its first year
of Class A-l Southern Oregon
conference football.
The Comets of Central Point
and the Pelicans are now tied in
third with one win and two loss
es each in the loop.
Cold could prove a handicap
for. the CP club but the Comets
likely will go well prepared with
long woolen underwear, stock
ings and gloves.
Both clubs have a host of
seniors in their last football ap
pearance for their respective
school and the Comets have 12
seniors considered regulars. For
Crater they are Carl Koellner,
Fred Herrmann. Dave Parker.
Bill Morse, Dick Davis. Roger
Seaman. Don Hubbard. Dick Rai
ney. Neil Green and Ray Birge
in the line and George Juveland,
Don Goyette and Ron Harrison
in the backfield.
Wrist Cut
Harrison is expected to see
action despite a cut wrist. He
suffered the injury last Friday
morning and had 16 stitches ap
plied to sew up the wound but
still played that night at Myrtle
Creek. Coach Leonard Warren
said the wound is well padded
and bandaged.
Sophomore back Jerome Mc
Quades has missed Crater drills
this week because of flu and Al
len Barnes, another soph back,
will miss the tussle because of
injury. For Klamath Falls Butch
Kimpton has been moved to
halfback from quarter to make
up for possible loss of Richard
Humphrey who hag been side
lined by a concussion then flu.
Jerry Bramwell has taken the
quarter post.
"These boys will be hard to
beat this week end."
That was the comment this
morning of Coach Millard Webb

football club.

or a 3 p.m. Saturday combat
for the District 5B champion
Ship. It Is the third straight year
in the play-off for the Crusaders
of Medford, Jackson county
champions. Merrill unseated Ma
lin as- Klamath county titlist.
Webb indicated by his words
that St. Mary's morale is high,
condition of the team good and
that the Crusaders will be at
their best this Saturday.
Against Merrill, the SM eleven
will face a club which has a good
defensive record despite overall
lightness. The Huskies will be
lighter on the line but heavier in
the backfield than the Crusaders.
Merrill has a seven win, one
loss standing for the season, com
pared to the five-two record of
St. -Mary's. The Husky setback
was to Henley on a last minute
touchdown. No team has scored
more than one touchdown
against Merrill this season.
Husky victories have been 7 to 0
over Chiloquin, 24 to 0 over Bo
nanza, 12 to 7 over Malin, 33 to
6 over Sacred Heart, 7 to 6 over
Talent, 33 to' 6 over Rogue River

Floyd Patterson,
Sugar Ray Have
New Ring Tactics
Greenwood Lake. N. Y. (U.R)
Young Floyd Patterson and vet
eran Ray Robinson, both under
dogs for approaching title fights,
have adopted new ring styles
while training hopefully for
upsets.
"No more flyin' saucers,"
said 21-year-old Patterson today.
"I'm goin' to have my feet on
the ground all the time when I
meet Archie Moore." In the past
Floyd has been a devotee of the
leaping right lead.
Speedy Patterson of Brooklyn
fights 39-year-old Moore for the
vacant heavyweight crown at
the Chicago Stadium, Nov. 30.
Moore of San Diego, Calif., is
favored at 8-5.
Switch-Hitting
Middleweight champion Rob
inson, in the same training ring
here at the Long Pond Inn, sur
prised observers with his brand
new "shifting" tactics that in
clude intermittent periods of
switch-hitting and many walk
aways, taken from the book of
Jersey Joe Walcott.
"I'm usin' the old noodle," ex
plained 35-year-old Sugar Ray,
who defends his 160 -pound
crown against young Gene Full
mer of West Jordan, Utah, at
Madison Square Garden, Nov.
30. "I'm not go'nta jus stand
there and let him pile into me on
a straight line."
Fullmer, 24, is favored at 7-5
because of his youth and stami
na and headlong style, and be
cause of doubts that Sugar Ray's
aging legs could last 15 rounds,
if necessary.

Papeete, Tahiti 'iU.R) The
Tahitians don't know a football

don't either.
So while sunning myself un

native soothsayer come up with
these pigskin prognostications:
Stanford over Oregon State:
Ugh! My papaya crystal shows
Indians taking to air like flying
fish. Beavers get beached on
coral reef at 10 yard line. By
one.
Southern California over Cali

rection is up. Line like big bowl
guava jelly. By 13.
Washington over UCLA.
Bruins get stuck-um in gumbo
mud at Seattle. Huskies like
fish. Always wiggle off hook. By
six.
Idaho over Utah State: This
like Moore Island vs. Tahiti.

nations. By 14.
Oregon over 'Washington State:
Cougars come as close to win ai
Stevenson to Eisenhower elec
