Pelican Quintet Opens Season Against Yreka.
GAME SLATED
MAI NIGHT
Lofty Local Basketeers
Hope for Victory in
Initial Start.
After three weeks of practice,
during which they have success
fully kept their light. if any, un
der the proverbial bushel, the
1938 Klamath Pelican basketeers
will unveil their amazing altitude
and other accoutrements before
local fans here Friday night.
The Pelicans will take the high
school floor against Yreka, which
annually provides early season
competition for the home talent.
and usually provides early-season
cannon fodder.
Coach Dutch French, however.
is doubtful whether that latter
situation will exist this year. He's
agreeably surprised with the prog
ress made by his squad, stating
that tte players look far smoother
than he expected, everything con
sidered. But he has yet to see what they
can do under fire"out there all
by themselves." as the coach puts
it, and he has been led to under
stand the Yrekans boast of a pret
ty fair ball club.
Paul Crapo and Len Young
have been tentatively nominated
to start at guards, Jack Waits and
Joe Be Gotti at forwards and Chet
Musselman at center. Of the quin
tet. Musselman end Bellotti are
holdovers from last year's team.
Young is a member of the 1937
reserves and Crapo and Waits are
Wildcat graduates.
In addition. Al Green at guard
and Virgil Jarrett at forward are
pressing hard on the heels of the
starting five and are bound to see
action before the game is over,
French said.
Last December the Pelicans in
vaded Yreka and defeated the
Miners, 29-16. That is the mark
they will have to shoot at this
year. with French questioning
whether or not they can equal it.
Both schools will put tall teams
Onto the court, with the Pelicans
almost to a mantowering far
Into the rafters.
Unfortunately, ' French points
Out, height, even at center. is no
longer a major factor of a suc
cessful basketball aggregation.
New rules have eliminated the
center jump except at the start of
each period and after double tech
nical fouls. The ball goes to the
team scored upon after each baa
ket. Friday night's Pelican-Yreka
game will be preceded by a tilt
between the Klamath Wildcats
and the Yreka B quintet. The
preliminary will start at 7:30, and
the feature contest an hour or an
hour and a quarter later.
Clippers Beat
Hawks, 3-2, in
Bitter Battle
SEATTLE. Dec. 16 (AP)
Scoring three last period goals
In three minutes.. the Spokane
Clippers defeated the Seattle Sea
hawks in a Pacific Coast Hockey
league game last night, 8 to 2.
The Hawks defeat kept the
Vancouver Lions safely perched
In first place.
The Clippers got their ire up
when Downie broke the scoreless
battle with a backhand shot
which glanced off Goalie Tim
mins' skates early in the last
period for a Seahawk score. A
few minutes later Cox dropped
another in the goal. The goal
keeper failed to see it, but Ref
eree Bill Shaver did.
Losing the argument with
Shaver. the Clippers started five
man rushes down the ice to con
nect three times.
The fast, smashing game
reached a climax in the fading
mind when Tabor and Venne
of Seattle swung at Holmes of
tha Clippers. There was no
bluodshed.

California Game Officer
Seeks Duck Season Change
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 16
Herbert C. MOS, executive officer
of the state fish and game com
mission left recently for confer
ences with federal officials at
which he was to argue for a "sen
sible" duck season.
Terming the present season run
ning from November 17 to Decem
ber 26 entirely unsuited to Cali
fornia conditions. he planned to
submit two proposals, either one
of which. he said, would be more
satisfact ory.
Different Dates Suggested
One suggestion calls for two
duck seasonsone season for the
extreme northern part of the state
and high altitude .areas and the
other for the interior valleys and
all other sections of the state.
Davis said he would propose
that the season for the northern
counties and the mountain areas
be during the month of November.
and for the other sections, the
month of December.
The other suggestion contem
plates a two month season extend
ing from November 1 to January
1. with restricted hunting days.
Davis proposes that shooting be
restricted to Saturday. Sunday
and Wednesday of each week.
This would give slightly less than
thirty hunting days during the pe
Enlarged Copco
League Starts
Fresh Schedule
The newly expanded Copco lea
gue started the second half of
their bowling season at the New
Klamath Recreation alleys with
the Operating Department taking
two out of three games from the
Accounting Department. -
So close were the two teams
matched that they were tied for
total pins at the end of the third
contest. The Sales Department
after dropping its first two games
to the Service Department braced
and copped the final.
The two baby memoers of the
Power Company league also bat
tled with the Water Department
taking three straight from the
Wildcats.
Miller took high three-game
honors with a 512 total. He was
closely pressed by Dickson with
509 and Ritchey with a 505 total.
The Cope() league started with
four teams but so enthused did
the Copco bowlers become that it
became necessary to add two ad
ditional teams and start a new
season. Operating Department
won the first half championship.

Closing Stage
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Dec.
16 (A')--The annual southern Cal
ifornia open golf tournament drew
Into the final stages today as the
field teed off for the remaining
36 holes of medal play over the
Clover Field course.
Leading the procession was
young Stanley Kertes, Clover
Field pro, who rounded out his
second round yesterday with a
65, five strokes under par, foe a
total of 135.
Close behind were Olin Dutra,
Los Angeles, former National open

Arlen Comes
to Rescue of
Golf Tourney
LOS ANGELES. Dec. la (
Actor Richard Arlen came to the
resells of the I3-year-old Los An
geles open golf tournament today
with an offer to guarantee the
purse up to $5000.
"If anybody wants to add to
that, very well, but if the boys
will be willing to shoot for $5000
I will have that much ready for
them," Arlen said.
The tourney was dropped from
the California winter links pro
gram Tuesday by the Los Angeles
junior chamber of commerce, be
cause of failure to find a backer.
Previously, the chamber had
scaled down the purse from $10,-
000 to $8000, without effect.
Arlen, who delights in amateur
nod.
Present Season 'Unsuitable
Davis said:
"The present season cannot be
fitted to California's wide range
of latitude and altitude.
The forepart ot the season is
too early for the lower Sacramen
to valley, the San Joaquin Yeller
and southern California. Ordi
narily the ducks do not appear in
these regions until the middle of
December In any great number.
"In the extreme northern coun
ties and in the mountain regions,
the season is too late. Already,
the lakes in Modoc and other
northern counties. and even in the
mountains of southern California
are frozen over. And. due to the
cold weather. hunting at any time
during the present season is any
thing but a recreation.
The answer, I believe. can be
found in having two seasons suit
ed to varied conditions. or else
expand the limits of the duck sea
son so that it would embrace the
moat favorable conditions in the
two sets of districts..
"Hunters would be perfectly
willing to limit the number of
shooting days if these days were
the weekends and Wednesdays
and embrace both the months of
November and December."
golf competition on his oft days
from the movie studios, declared
his ;5000 offer stood regardless
of a controversy over whether the
tournament. if held, should be at
a public or private course.
"Anything that is taken in
above $5000 at the gate. over and
above expenses, if there is any
thing, will be added to the purse."
he said. -
"I do not wish to make a cent
off the tournament, my only in
terest being that of a golfer and a
citizen of southern California who
wants to see this important sports
event carried on."

answers to a questionnaire sent by
Lou Little of Columbia, chairman
of the football coachea' rules com

naire indicated that members of
the American Association of Foot

minor changes in the rulea but
nothing draatic.
There la one new point that
has come out in the replies we
have received," maid Little. "The
Majority of the coachea would
like to see some legislation to pre
vent intentional out-of-bounds
kickoffs that give the receiving
team the ball on ite own 35-yard
line without getting a chance 'to
run it back."
Few aupported a move to re
turn the goal posts to the goal
line or to make the defense keep
a definite number of men on the
line of scrimmage.
