weary Commerce high school
eleven from Portland in a lop
sided 28-8 contest on Modoc field.
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

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

back, swiped it out of the Feu-

DETROIT. 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.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 21 (UP) In
the only other American league
game, besides the Detroit-Cleveland
contest, the St. Louis
Browns shaded the Chicago
White Sox, 7-6. Harland Cliffs
four-run homer In the first in
ning featured the Browns' nine
hit attack. Jack Rosenthal hom
ered for Chicago in the fifth with
l the bases empty.
