    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.

His replacement, Tom Ankeny,

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.

ords shows the clash as the 42nd

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
