Klamath Pelicans To For Bedford Fray on Friday "They'll be up for this game. They really will." That's a state ment concerning the Klamath Union High school football team from Jim Crow, sports editor of the Klamath Falls Herald and News. And it resounds as a warn ing to the Medford high Black Tornado. Medford's Tornado plays the Pelicans on Friday on Modoc field at Klamath Falls. Opening conference conten tion of 1957 for the Pels will find them shooting for their first vic tory of the season against an Ore gon foe. They have bowed by one-sided counts to Marshfield, South Eugene and Springfield in addition to dropping a tussle to Hudson's Bay of Vancouver, Wash. Only Pelican win in five games was over Shasta of Red ding, Calif., 7 to 6. Oregon losses were to all high rated teams. With an epidemic of sickness out of the way, the Pels may be on the upgrade despite some trouble with injuries. Klamath was credited with a hard-played conflict with the Washington ag gregation last Saturday but was simply outmanned. That manpower element could be the factor enabling the Tor nado to end its long standing jinx on the Modoc field. Barring fur ther sickness and injuries of their own, the Tornado stalwarts appear to have more "horses" in their bid for a first Medford high victory since 1945 on the Klam ath gridiron. Starting Left Half back John Jones of the Tornado was still missing from the squad yesterday after being absent from the Crater game. Situation Good Coach Fred Spiegelberg, said his Medford squad situation looked pretty good as of yester day. However, he brought out that the Tornado status could be different when he calls the var sity to the practice field this af ternoon. Workouts this week have not been overly strenuous because of the flu bug threat. Mentor Andy Knudsen of the Pelicans told the Klamath Falls Herald and News yesterday that one regular definitely will be missing from the line-up against Medford. There's a question about the physical shape of sev eral others. The "definitely out" player is Quarterback Frank Ballard. He Bun Aldrich Clutch Man For Cougars Pullman, Wash. (IF) Quarter back Bob Newman Is the Satur day hero among Washington State's o f t-thwarted football fans, but the Cougars respect al ternate Bunny Aldrich so much they call him "the clutch." Newman gets the starting call, does most of the passing and cer tainly rates his headlines. But when Newman can't deliver, Aldrich often does. "They're both great quarter backs and either could start for any team in the country," is Coach Jim Sutherland's opinion "Newman Is bigger and can throw the long ball, but there really Isn't a great deal of dif ference in their performance.' Newman Leads Conference Newman has completed 39 of 72 passes for 537 yards and five touchdowns this season. He tops the Pacific Coast conference in passing and total offense. Na tionally he is third in total of fense and second in passing. But there have been times when Newman's unit couldn't move the ball and Sutherland called on Aldrich's second unit for help. In the California game, New man completed 10 of 17 passes, but it was Aldrich who fired a short one into the end zone to start WSC toward its 13-7 vic tory. It was another Aldrich scoring pass that got the Cougars back on their feet in the 20-13 loss to Iowa. Washington State spotted the Hawkeyes two touchdowns and then came back to tie the score before finally losing late in the game. Aldrich Sparks Comeback And it was Aldrich once again who started the Cougars on the way to their fantastic 21-18 vic tory over Stanford. Stanford led the seemingly helpless Cougars 18-0 at the half. Aldrich, contrib uting a 46-yard screen pass play, engineered the first Cougar score. Newman came back and tossed two touchdown passes in the last four minutes to cap the comeback. Aldrich, despite his limited playing time, is fourth in passing and 11th in total offense in the PCC. He has completed 17 of 27 passes for 63 per cent, compared to Newman's completion per centage of .542. Aldrich has con nected for 245 yards and three touchdowns. The 170 lb., 5-11 senior from Honolulu quarterbacked Comp ton College to victory in the Little Rose Bowl game before coming to Washington State. He would like nothing better than to play for WSC in the big Rose Bowl game New Year's Day. Chances are he might. There are about 17,000 pro ducing oil wells in Illinois. field and Hudson's bay games. His replacement, Tom Ankeny, is a senior shy of experience at the post but picking up know how from his play in the two games. He did a good job of tak ing the team on its scoring march against Hudson. Regular Fullback Bill Shreeve and End Gary Kranenberg have had charley horses. End Tom West has just had a cast re moved from his wrist. He cracked a bone in it. West and Kranenberg are likely to see service but two other flank starting possibilities are Mike Propst and Jan Cox. Ronald House is No. 2 fullback and did a good job against Springfield. Humphrey Top Runner Possible starters are among Dave Vinson, Nick Insley and Bill Montgomery, tackles; Don Hunting and Fishing Southern Oregon By MEL One of the most interesting sights to be seen in Southern Oregon during the fall of the year is the flight of the geese over Greaser rim in Warner valley. It has been estimated that over a half million birds will cross in a little over an hour on their way to the feeding grounds and believe me when the flights are "in" this is no exag geration. I heard rumors of this goose heaven a number of years ago but it was some time later be fore I actually had the opportun ity of checking the veracity of the stories I heard. If anything I would say they were on the weak side. WELL-MARKED ROAD Warner valley is reached by going north from Lakeview a few miles and taking the well marked and paved road to Adel. South of Adel a couple of miles there is a road turn ing to the left which takes one to the game commission check ing station for the public shoot ing area. If one only wishes lo hunt the ridge it is not neces sary lo check in at this point. A short distance from tl$e checking station a road turns to the left and leads one through a flat sage brush meadow. It is best lo park the car at the east side of this flat for the hill soon becomes loo steep and too rocky. The rim is due east from this point. There is a sage covered slope which goes up at a fair angle till it abruptly ends in a sheer bluff. This is Greaser ridge. In the early dawn Greaser lake lies directly below and to the left are myriads of little pot-holes which look as if someone had dropped a large mirror and scattered the frag ments over a two mile section. There is a little saddle be tween Greaser lake and Span ish lake, only a portion of which can be seen from this point. STEADY STREAM When the big flocks are "in," they start their flight off the lakes just before shooting time in the morning and for the next hour there is a steady stream of birds filling the air. They strag gle back during the mid morn ing and about 2:30 p.m. the whole migration is repeated. The air during this crossing is filled with so much goose talk that your temples fairly throb. Honkers, Speckle Breasts and Snow Geese combine to pro duce a cacophony of sound which once heard can never be forgotten. TERRIFIC OR NIL The shooting can be terrific or nil depending on the weath er. With a stormy day the shooting can be only imagined. A strong east or west wind can make fine shooting but a north or south wind funnels the birds around the ends of the ridge and leaves Ihe hunter talking lo himself. GANDER GATHERS FLOCK One amazing sight to be seen is an old gander making up his flock from the many scattered ones on the lake. In the early afternoon one goose can be seen getting off the water and flying low over the surface with lots of talk in transit. Here and there a goose will take off and fall in behind this leader. Finally when he has gathered all his flock to gether they commence the spiral climb to gain enough altitude to clear the ridge. Sometimes but not too often they underestimate the deadly yardage between the top of the ridge and their flight pattern and when this happens the old goose usually has less passen gers to worry about. On clear days they rarely make any mis takes but when the wind is strong they have lots of diffi- culty and the hunters have a hey-day. NORTH TRIP Many people have said that even if one didn't hunt it would be worth the trip and the hotel bill just lo see these great birds cross the ridge. Be Alt and Lee Stilwell, guards; Chartes Carlson Jr., son of the school principal, center; and Richard Humphrey, and Doug Van Buskirk or Smiley Herrera, halfbacks. Humphrey, 170, is reportedly the top runner of the Klamath backfield. Van Buskirk is 155 and Herrera 133. Shreeve is has a broken bone in his left hand and missed both the Spring heaviest at 180 and House scales 160. Ankeny is a 155 pounder. Medford has the weight ad vantage in the line with a 184 average to 172 or so for the Pel icans, t A check of Mail Tribune rec ords shows the clash as the 42nd between the two schools. Med ford has won 27 and Klamath Falls eight. There have been seven ties. REES When the first light of dawn pinks the surrounding hills and the early formations of these fine birds trace patterns in the sky it can produce a feeling in the marrow of one's bones that time can never erase. STEELHEAD FISHING ' The fishing has picked up to the point where it can be said to be good. Many anglers are hav ing excellent luck on flies. Oth ers using Nips or Motos- are lim iting. Single eggs and clusters are producing well. This writer picked up a fish Sunday after noon using Worden's new Wob-ble-glo lure. This little fluores cent bobber is similar to the Spin 'n Glo but has no wings and really wobbles in the water. It was introduced at the end of the last season and seemed to be a real producer. If the way the trout hit it is any indication of what it can be expected to do to the steelhead it should be ter rific. Best areas of the river have been in the Galice area but lots of fish are being taken in and around Grants Pass. GOOD LUCK IN SPOTS First reports from lhe open er would lend to indicate that the success ratio wasn't up lo expectations. Although there were spots where lhe hunting was excellent many hunters did not have loo much luck in spite of the fairly good duck weather. Advance reports didn't show too many birds in the area and the shooting should pick up just as soon as the northern flocks move in. COMMERCIAL LEAGUE Standings: W. L.

HOCKEY AMERICAN HOCKEY LEAGUE By United Press Willie Marshall connected for the first "hat trick" of the Amer ican Hockey league season Wed nesday night to ease Hershey into second place. Marshall, second leading scor er in the AHL last year, coun tered twice in the second period and once in the third as the Bears downed Cleveland, 6-2. Hershey, winner in three of its four games, now trails league leading Providence by two points. Cleveland is tied for fourth place. ' Several Beaver Posts Uncertain Corvallis (IP) Coach Tommy Prothro said today he was "un decided " about four or five po sitions in his starting lineup when Oregon State plays UCLA Saturday in Los Angeles. Most serious injury on the squad was to star tackle Ted Bates who has a hurt chest and back. Reserve tackle Ed Rogers has a bad knee. The Beavers held a workout today but do not plan to drill in Los Angeles before the game. Magnetic electric-light bulbs and sockets are being made to replace the standard screw type. BOWLIIG Bill Rigney Hopes High For Giants By HAL WOOD San Francisco (IP) He may be whistling in the dark, but Bill Rigney, right on the heels of signing a new two-year con tract as manager of the San Francisco Giants, said today that he hoped to get the club into the first division in their initial venture on the Pacific coast. "I'm counting on two things," said Rigney, a local boy who will be starting his third season at the helm of the club. "One is that the fan enthusiasm we ex pect from San Francisco people will be contagious and instill a new spirit into our club, such as happened at Milwaukee; and the other is our hope to land at least one more good, solid ball player. Willie Mays Stays Rigney, 38, said he will swap any man on the club with the exception of Willie Mays and Johnny Antonelli. "And I might even consider trading Johnny away if we could get enough help for him. I consider Johnny the best left handed hurler in the National league," said Bill. He also predicted a great year for Mays. "Willie, who has been around New York all these years, is tickled pink with the idea of playing in San Francisco," said Rigney. "I think he'll move out here. And I'm sure he'll hit bet ter in this ball park. The Polo Grounds was not made for Wil lie's type of hitting. "In fact, I think our whole club will be stronger late in the season here than it was in New York. The humidity back there saps the strength of the players. It will be cool at all times here." Rigney should know. He was born in nearby Alameda, played baseball in the Pacific Coast league for several years and currently lives across the bay in Walnut Creek about 15 miles from Seals Stadium. The manager revealed that coach Tommy Heinrich had re signed, but he said he did not know yet what coaches would be retained or hired for the next season. SEE YOUR DEALER NOW! Now is the time to install your anti-freeze. If you wait, a freeze may catch you unprepared, or your serviceman may be too rushed to give your car the complete cooling system servicing it needs.. Anti-Freeze Week has been set aside by your dealer as the best time to service your cool ing system and make your car guaranteed safe for the entire winter with Du Pont "Zerex." See your serviceman now, during Anti-Freeze Week, and get "Zerex" with MR-8 ! How MR-8 protects your car 1. Works In all waters. Du Pont "Zerex" anti freeze with MR-8 is compatible with all types of water. Even in hard water the inhibitor stays in perfect solu tion. Hard water makes the inhibitors used in many anti-freezes precipitate out in use, materially reducing their protective qualities. 2. Will not rot rubber hose. Du Pont "Zerex" anti-freeze with MR-8 will not rot or soften rubber hose because it contains no oil. Oil is extremely harmful to some radiator hose, softening or rotting it sometimes in one season. Then the hose may collapse or burst, causing overheating and engine damage. WATCH BEAT THE FIRST Wood Picks Cougar, Oregon State Elevens By HAL WOOD United Press Sports Writer San Francisco (TP) Pacific pigskin picks: Southern California vs. Cali fornia This one has to be a scoreless tie. Two of the most inept scoring teams in the long illustrious histories of the Tro jans and the Bears.

PERMANENTTYP5 3. Neutralizes all acids. The seven different metals used in modern cooling systems can become corroded when a permanent anti-freeze solution turns acid. However, "Zerex" with MR-8 has extra "re serve alkalinity" that gives winter-long protection from the corrosive action of cooling system acids. 4. Keeps rust in suspension. Du Pont "Zerex" anti-freeze with MR-8 keeps cooling systems clean and free-flowing. Because "Zerex" contains no oil, it does not cause rust to stick to cooling system surfaces and clog radiator passages, which can cause overheating and engine damage.

MEDFORD (OREGON) Professional Hockey Linen Will Be Aired New York (IP) Professional hockey is about to be put through the legal wringer and the paying public will get quite an eyeful when all the linen is aired. The National Hockey League Players' Association, headed by Ted Lindsay of the Chicago Black Hawks, already has filed a three million dollar damage suit against the six NHL clubs. The association is asking the court to void the standard play ers' contract. A copy of that con tract was obtained during an interview with Hilton N. Mound, counsel for the players, and some of the clauses in it may come as quite a shock to the majority of hockey fans. Take paragraph 17, for exam ple, which practically sets up the president of the NHL, Clar ence Campbell, as the last word in all player-club salary nego tiations. The hockey players also are contesting paragraph 8 of their contract, which is a so-called "television and right of privacy clause." That clause prohibits the play er from obtaining any revenue from television and radio rights AYE R & if y a HAZIER THE OF KENTUCKY BOURBON SINCE 10 Proof C'56 WATEKFIIL AHO FtAUU DISH &DU PONT GUARANTEE "Zerex" anti-freeze will protect thecoolingsys tem of your car from freezing, rust or corrosion for one full winter and will not leak out if used in a properly operating, watertight cooling system and if used according to Du Pont di rections printed on the "Zerex" container.
