    Tornado,
Tonight At Klamath Falls
"They're all set and eager to
go," Coach Fred Spiegelberg re
ported today as the Black Tor
nado of Medford high prepared
to go over the hump for this eve
ning's football game with the
Klamath Falls Pelicans.
Klamath fortunes have not
been too bright this fall and it's
felt that, if the Tornado is to
bust the Modoc field jinx, this
is the year. Three of the Pelican
losses have been to top-ranked
Oregon schools, however, and
there's the feeling that, if the
club can learn by playing the
"best," Klamath certainly
should have profited by this
time.
Just how much the Pels have
picked up and just how much
they hdve been hampered by the
flu bug will, of course, be re
vealed this evening as Medford
tries to gain a victory for the
lirst time since 1945 on the
Klamath turf.
The Pels seem to have an un
canny ability to protect their
hex on the Tornado. There have
been other seasons when the
Medford club has been the fa
vorite and even had a lead on
the Klamath team only to have
the Modoc field homesters rise
up and beat or tie the Tornado
aggregation.
Medford's crew, itself, has
had a battle with illnesses but
appeared this morning to be al
most intact. At the left halfback
Gerry Lyons is expected to
start rather than John Jones,
who opened at the spot in the
first three games this season but
was out because of flu for the
Crater game last week. Lyons,
just recovering from similar ill
ness took over at the berth.
Jones should see duty.
At the ether places In the
backfield it will be Tony Brau
ner, quarterback;' Ron Reich,
right half, and Bob Gee, full
back, as usual. Line probables
are Mike Russell and Tom Ham
lin, ends; Tom Morris and Dick
Sorenson or Frank Albert,
tackles; Tom Merton and Dick
Corum, guards, and Jim Fun
ston, center. Albert is over his
ankle ailment but is faced with
a stern battle with Sorenson at
tackle.
For defense Pete Rasmussen
may replace Russell, Clark may
go in for Reich and Brown may
substitute for Gee.
A sizable Medford delegation
will make the Klamath trip.
There will be five buses carry
ing band, pep club and rally
squad members and other stu
dents. Most of the 150 reserved
seat tickets sent here for public
sale have been purchased.
Roosevelt Victor
Over Washington
Roosevelt scored on a punt
runback to defeat Washington
6 to 0 yesterday and preserve its
unbeaten lead in the city grade
school football circuit.
Jackson nosed out Oak Grove
13 to 12.
The Lincoln-Jefferson game
was postponed because of sick
nesi among Jefferson squad
members.

Southern Oregon, OTI
To Clash on Saturday
Ashland Coach Al Akins,
with most of his gridders back
in harness, sought to perk up
the Southern Oregon college
pass offense yesterday as the
Red Raiders had their next to
last workout before meeting
Oregon Tech in an Oregon, Col
legiate conference conflict.
The game will be Saturday at
8 p.m. at Fuller field on the
Ashland school's campus. Action
stacks up as crucial since the
winner will be figured as hav
ing the best chance of going on
to the loop title.
Both clubs are unbeaten in
the loop with OTI having two
victories and SOC one. A win
for the Klamath Falls club could
just about sew up the toga since
it would have only one more
league game to play.
Along with working on the
passing attack, the Raiders also
labored at strengthening their
defense. It's Coach Akins belief
that if the Owl offense can be
stopped, the SOC attack will be
sufficient for a triumph over the
Klamathites.
Possible starters for the Red
Raiders are Chuck Crandall and
Cy Perkins, ends; Marion Jack
and Herb Colley, tackles; Troy
Bellah and Modesto Jiminez,
guards; Phil Sword, center;
Lance Locke, quarterback; Lee
McGill, left half, Ron Brood,
right half, and Ron Maurer, full
back. Yesterday Akins had consid
ered calling off the battle with
OTI because of the inroads of
flu among SOC players. But ap
parently the Raiders are suffi
ciently recovered to go ahead
with the contest. However, regu
lar tackle Chuck Romine was
reported hospitalized by flu.
Backs missing yesterday includ
ed Gordon Owsley, Larry Yar-
nell and Willie Jones.
Norm Oliva, who has been
lamed by a bum knee, should
see quite a bit of service at end.
George Juveland and Larry
Maurer could have their share
of action at halfbacks.
Oregon Tech is reported to be
at full strength with the excep
tion of one tackle spot. Status of
Odie Canada, Owl star back,
however, is uncertain. There
was a report that he had quit
school. A check with the Klam
ath Fall3 institution failed to
verify the report.
Teachers' salaries account for
about three-fourths of all public
expenditures for education in
the U.S., according to national
schooling reports.

Ducks Must
Be Strong
On Defense
Lewiston, Idaho (IP) Oregon's
football team, which meets
Washington State in a crucial
Pacific Coast Conference game
at Pullman Saturday, worked
out here today after an all-night
train ride from Eugene.
Coach Len Casanova said Oregon,-winner
of three out of four
games so far, would have to
play an outstanding defensive
game to defeat Washington
State.
"WSC has excellent passers
. . . and the receivers are far
above average," Casanova said.
Bob Newman is the nation's sec
ond leading passer and his un
derstudy, Bunny Aldrich, also
is rated high.
The Oregon team is In good
shape for the game with only
lettermen end Bruce Brenn, who
hasn't played this season, and
reserve guard Larry Newsom,
out with injuries.
Both Oregon and Washington
State have won two and lost
none in PCC play. The winner
will be the only team unbeaten
in the PCC which is eligible for
the Rose Bowl.

St. Mary's
To Contend
With Malin
St. Mary's high of Medford
goes back into action on the
football field Saturday for its
first football game in three
weeks.
The Crusaders play at Malin
on Saturday afternoon in a Dist
rict 5B encounter.
Malin's Mustangs will be fa
vorites. The Klamath county
club struggled through its first
couple of games when hit by the
flu bug. It won the two games
then another and, with sickness
apparently shaken off, paces the
circuit with three victories and
no losses. Last weekend the Mus
tangs loomed potent when they
trimmed Class A-2 Lakeview 13
to 0.
St. Mary's is practically intact
this week after having to post
pone its fray last Saturday with
Jacksonville because of illnesses.
The Crusaders on the previous
week end were idle when the
mix billed with Sacred Heart
was called off because of flu at
the Klamath Falls parochial
establishment.
Coach Bill McKibben of the
Crusaders stated that Halfback
Dick Hayes and Tackye Dennis
are still on the sidelines. Hayes
has a sprained back and Duggan
is a flu victim.
Ashland 8th
Tops Hedrick
Ashlend shellacked Hedrick
of Medford 32 to 14 here yester
day in an eighth grade football
game.
The Lithian club led 20 to 0,
20 to 7 and 26 to 14 at the inter
missions. Scoring almost every
time it got is hands on the ball,
Ashland collected four of its
five touchdowns on end runs.
Hedrick offense moved well
but its defense just couldn't con
tain the visitors sufficiently.
Dick Byrd passed to Mike
McCullough for one Hedrick TD
and sneaked over for the other.
Byrd kicked one conversion and
got the other on a toss to McCullough.-
Paul Geren turned in
some fine running for the Hor
nets and set up the first touch
down. McCullough ran the Ash
land kick-off back 75 yards to
pave the way for the other score.
Byrd, playing quarterback for
the first time, did a heads up
job, handling and passing the
ball well. Both he and McCul
lough ran the Ashland kick-off
back 75 yards to pave the way
for the other score.

Beavers Fly
To LA Fray
Corvallis HP) Coach Tommy
Prothro's Oregon State football
team flies to Los Angeles this
afternoon for a Saturday date
with UCLA in which the Bea
vers will be favored to win their
first game in the Los Angeles
Coliseum since 1948.
Oregon State, winner of four
straight games this season, is
the nation's seventh - ranked
team. But it will run into a
tough foe in UCLA which has
lost only one game, 21-0 to
Oregon. "
A big question mark for Ore
gon State is Ted Bates, the
rugged right tackle who suffer
ed an injured back against
Idaho. Just how much he will
be able to play Saturday wasn't
known before the Beavers left.
Republican Leader
Urges Lower Taxes
Despite Spending
Washington OP) A Republi
can congressional leader said
Thursday taxes must be reduced
next year despite additionad de
dense spending which he said
apparently will be necessary.
The assertion came from Rep.
Richard M. Simpson (Pa.), a
high-ranking minority member
of the House ways and means
Committee, which initiates all
tax legislation.
Follows Nixon's Remark
His assertion that a tax cut
is "mandatory" next year came
less than 48 hours after Vice
President Richard M. Nixon
threw cold water on hopes for
early tax relief.
Nixon said Monday that with
Russia's satellite circling the
earth the nation must regard its
military strength as a matter of
far greater importance than the
"understandable desire" for tax
relief.
Simpson expressed his views
in a speech prepared for the an
nual meeting of the Illinois State
Chamber of Commerce in -Chicago.
A summary of his remarks
was released here in advance.
"We can and must cut taxes
despite additional spending that
will apparently be necessary in
the Defense Department," Simp
son said.
Can Cut Other Spending
Any boost in defense spend
ing on other federal agencies not
linked with the defense effort,
he said and this would prevent
any overall increase in spending.
The Ways and Means Com
mittee will start tax hearing
Jan. 7, he said, and he will
"insist" that a major tax reduc
tion be considered at the hear
ings. Committee Chair man Jere
Cooper (D-Tenn.) has expressed
hope the hearing will lead to
some tax relief.
Simpson's remarks indicated
that even if the Eisenhower ad
ministration strongly opposes
tax relief he will push for a tax
cut and try to pin blame on the
Democratic Congress if no relief
is forthcoming.
Kasper To Start
Federal Prison Term
Washington (CI Segrega
tionist John Kasper was in jail
today awaiting transfer to a Fed
eral prison to serve a one-year
contempt sentence on charges
: . a. t iu. 'i 1 i
i Term., school integration riots
' last year.
He was picked up by Wash
ington police Thursday and held
for the Justice Department after
a federal Judge in Knoxville,
Tenn., ordered his arrest.
Kasper had been free on $10,
000 bond since he was convicted
of criminal contempt and sen
tenced to a year in prison in
September, 1956.
The Supreme Court Monday
turned down Kasper's appeal or
a rehearing of the case.
The Sixth Circuit Court of Ap
peals in Cincinnati officially no
tified U.S. Attorney General
John C. Crawford of the decision
and the arrest order was issued.
VANISHING EVIDENCE
Tyler, Tex. (IP) William
Whitus Pugh was free of charges
of possessing unstamped whis
key, today after the evidence
evaporated. Prosecutors were
preparing to try him when they
found a five-gallon jug of home
brewed corn liquor, the only
evidence against him, was re
duced to a dark brown residue
in the bottom, of the jug. Pugh
was released because of lack of
evidence.

Haney To Talk
To Front Office
Milwaukee, is. (IP) Fred Ha
ney, baseball's best lineup jug
gler in 1957 and prime candi
date for manager of the year,
talks over his 1958 contract with
the Milwaukee Braves' front of
fice Saturday.
He'll undoubtedly get a raise
for winning the World Series.
The best guess at his earnings
this year is about $35,000.
A one-year contract will be
offered him, in line with Braves
policy under President Joseph
Cairnes.
Haney was on the hot seat all
season in piloting the Braves to
the National league pennant. It
was generally conceded that the
58-year-old former skipper of
the luckless St. Louis Browns
and Pittsburgh Pirates, would
have been out of a job had not
the Braves come home first.
Microwave Relay .
Opened in Willamette
Portland OP) A microwave
relay system costing nearly $1
million was in service today re
placing the old Trask mountain
line which linked the Willamette
valley with the Tillamook area
for the past 51 years.
Pacific Telephone & Tele
graph Company said the new
system was expected to provide
a more efficient service. Three
radio relay channels via Salem,
Mt. Hebo and Tillamook and
"carrier" systems between Port
land and Salem provide 108
long-distance circuits, PT&T
said.
The old Trask mountain line
was started in 1906 and provid
ed the first direct telephone line
from the Willamette valley to
the coast.

International
Clubs Shunning
Jersey City Idea
By MILTON RICHMAN
New York OP) The .Interna
tional league met with surpris
ing apathy today in trying to
sell one of its clubs on the idea
of moving into Jersey City, N.J.,
the newest territory in the cir
cuit. "It's not for us," said Bob
Maduro, president of the Cuban
Sugar Kings. "We'll continue to
play in Havana."
General Manager Joe Ryan of
Miami said Jersey City wasn't
for his club either.
"We are quite happy with
Miami and would like to stay
there," Ryan said.
President Frank Shaughnessy
! of the International league
claimed Jersey City where the
Brooklyn Dodgers played seven
of their "home" games this year
when he notified National As
sociation President George
Trautman Thursday that one of
his teams intended to operate
there next season.
Shaughnessy said the club
that will move into Jersey City
will be decided upon at the
Major-Minor League meetings in
Colorado Springs, Colo., during
December but admitted Havana
and Miami were strong candi
dates. That, however, didn't seem to
jibe with what officials from
those two clubs had to say.
In the first four months of 1948, according to the Department of Agri
culture, over six million man-days were lost due to accidents on farms
all because of carelessness.
Therefore, be sure it's safe before you act. Riding two where only one
belongs, leaving tools which become stumbling hazards, and taking un
necessary chances with farm animals these are bat a few situations that
cause serious accidents.
Be careful every day the life yoa save may be your own.
