Long gains, frequent fumbles and huge losses turned the statis tic book into a scramble as the red and white-clad locals piled up four touchdowns and an over whelming margin In yardage. Final statistics gave the Peli cans a net gain on scrimmage plays of 236, against only 8 for the visitors. On passes the Klam athltes netted 09 against 13 and KUHS ran up IB first downs against only one. Portlanders Arrive Late ' Delayed two hours by a freight derailment near Oakridge, the Commerce squad changed into uniform aboard their train and was brought directly from the de pot to the playing field. , . The contest got underway at 9 'clock, an hour after scheduled game time. During the delay a ca pacity crowd was kept In the tends by entertainment from the Klamath band and drill units. ; - One of Klamath's scores the lastcam on a freak pass into the and son which was scooped up by Harold Patterson, substi tute Pelican end, after being juggled by a Commerce defen sive back. Klamath's other three touchdowns came on scrimmage plays, climaxing long drives, and the Stenogs lone tally was scored by George Chlcha, Commerce tackle, when he took a fumbled ball out of the air and raced 18 yards across the goal line. Love Opens Scoring Eugene Love, big Pelican quar terback, opened the scoring near the end of the first quarter at the end of a 80-yard march when he plunged over from the two-yard tripe. The try for point was no good. In this march, featured by triple reverses, laterals and per fectly spotted forward passes, the Pelicans redeemed them selves for poor ball handling in the first minutes of the game when Christiansen fumbled the ball three times in rapid succes sion. Commerce recovered on two of the muffs but the Port landers failed to make headway through the Klamath line. Marion Keginato grabbed a long pass for a first down which touched off the drive. Love heaved a forward to Neil May- field, right end, for a 26-yard gain, and Schortgen piled up still another first down by grab bing a lateral and traveling around right end. Keginato car ried the ball on another triple reverse to set up the scoring play. Chlcha Intercepts Ball On the first play of the second quarter, the ball bobbled out of the hands of a Pelican back and Chicha speared through the line, took it out of the air and wrig gled between two Klamath men for the first and only Commerce score. The kick for point was wide. Commerce recovered the ball on another fumble after Klamath received the kickoff, and al though the Stenogs pounded to the 19-yard stripe, Klamath held and took it on downs. The visitors' chief backfield threat was John Karamanos, 195 pound fullback, who ran up Hie Portlanders' only first down of the game, did most of the pass ing, and outklcked the Pelicans with an' average of 42 yards per punt One of his kicks traveled 80 yards in the air. . Triple Reverse Clicks Klamath's backfield function ed on amazingly intricate plays for early season games, especially a triple reverse which baffled the visitors for large gains. Near tho end of the first half Don Schortgen, fullback, passed to McCandless, who latcralled to Love in a beautifully executed play which netted ID yards. Bill Christiansen came back into the game at the start of the second half, and banged off the largest single scrimmage gain of i Ilo-llo Newsom if Be-B Newwea Cleveland battered Bo-Bo Newsom off the mound Friday In the sixth Inning of the cru cial Cleveland-Detroit game, but Al Benton. Detroit relief pitch er, quelled the Indian uprising In the ninth and won for the Tigers, 8-3. the game, 31 yards, on a play through the line. First downs by Love and Schortgen and a pass from Christiansen to Love put the oval on the one-foot line. Schortgen went over standing up for Klamath's second score, put ting the Pelicans in front 12-6. Reginato's try for point was blocked. Love Plunges Over An 18-yard pass from Love to Reginato placed the ball on the 13-yard line at the close of the third period. In three straight line smashes at the start of the fourth Love scored the third Klamath touchdown. This time Reginato's kick was good. Offside penalties and huge losses from scrimmage on both sides marred the closing minutes of the game. Schortgen recovered a Com merce fumble on the 12-yard line to set the stage for the last tally. Howell tossed a pass across the goal line, intended for McCand less, but Dick Rhodes, Commerce back, swiped it out of the Feu- can receiver's reach. Just before the ball hit the turf Patterson, a transfer end from Montana play ing his first game for KUHS, scooped it up for the final score, Howell tossed another pass to McCandless for the extra point. Next week Klamath meets Eu gene at Modoc field.

Nevertheless the campaign al ready is under way and sooner or later all otner sports wm have to step aside. Saturday's program was lim ited to about a dozen "major teams," mostly in the south, and perhaps 50 others that are definitely in the small college class. North Carolina, which figures to be one of the ranking powers of the southern conference this year, starts off against Ap palachian State Teachers. A crowd of 25,000 should give the tar heels the day's biggest turn out. North Carolina State tossed a surprise into the proceedings last night by trouncing the highly-publicized William and Mary team 16-0 before 17,500 fans at Norfolk. Kentucky faces perhaps the strongest opposition in the southeastern conference openers. playing Baldwin-Wallace, a tough little Ohio rival. v Boston college, the east s representative in the Cotton bowl last January, opens its new campaign at home against Centre.

Sept. 21 (UP) The Detroit Tigers blasted through Mel Harder and Bob Feller Fri day In a dramatic eighth inning rally to edge the Cleveland In dians 6-9 and jump into the American league leadership by a full game. It was the first scrap of a crucial three-game scries to split apart the two sole contenders for the league pennant, and Cleve land Manager Oscar Vltt threw in his best hurlcr, Bob Feller best in the circuit in an attempt to save a three-run lead. ' Up to the fatal eighth Harder had handcuffed the heavy De troit offense with three hits. But the pace perhaps it was the pressure of 22,508 howling Dc troiters was too much. Murderer's Row Hits Harder retired Billy Sullivan who batted for Dick Bartell on a grounder but Barney McCosky walked and Charley Gchrlngcr sent the hard working right hander to the showers with a hard single to right. The Tigers' murderers row the one which established a record by getting at least one home run in each of the last 17 games was ready for Feller. Hank Greenberg watched one fast ball blaze across the plate, when hammered the next pitch into center scoring McCosky. Rudy York was next and lined another hit into right, scoring Gchrlngcr, and when Beau Bell fumbled the ball Greenberg went home all the way from first and Rudy went to second. Newsome Battered Pinky Higgins sent the crowd into deeper hysterics by lining a single into right to score York with the run that gave Detroit a 5-4 lead. That was all for Feller and Joe Dobson replaced him. Pete Fox was safe on an infield hit, Higgins taking third. Birdie Tebbetts failed to bunt on a squeeze play and Higgins was caught going home. Tebbetts was intentionally passed and Bruce Cambell drove home Fox with the final run by singling to cen ter. Tebbetts was out when he overslid third on the throw In. Cleveland knocked Buck New som off the mound in the sixth in ning and had batted against Clay Smith and Hal Ncwhouscr before Al Benton, lanky Detroit relief pitcher, ambled Into the game in the ninth to quell the final Indian uprising.
