"Several local fanatics have expressed the opinion that he did, that after he caught BUI Walla booming punt on his own one-yard stripe and start ad back up the field he was driven to one knee by Med ford' Bob Mitchell. They claim, therefore, that the ball should have been declared dead at that point and Foster called back, nullifying the run. , ."From the press box it was not. apparent that Foster's kaea touched the ground, and neither waa it noticed, if it happened, from the Medford bench. , "Bill Bowerman had this to say concerning tne run: 11 looked to ma like Foster, hit hard on about the five-yard line, was spun halfway around and staggered, and . that his hand touched the turf ' as he regained bis balance. I . definitely didn't see, and don't think, that his knee touched the ground. : "One of the local fans who claimed that Foster's knee , contacted grass explained that he was right in line, with the play, and distinctly ssw the knee and ground meet. We admit the possibility that this fan. sitting on the five-yard line, might have had a better view of the situation in ques tion then press box or Med ford bench personnel, but . here is what we can't under stand: ' :. "Why," ' In heaven's name, make an issue out of it at allT Or if not an issue, why even mention it other than in pass ing fashion? After all. Med ford won the game fair and squirt; that 99-yard run had absolutely no bearing on the outcome of the tilt. So why not forget It; whether Fos ter's knee actually touched the ground or whether it was only his band doesn't matter one little bit. " It was a great run,' Bow v armea said, 'and Foster de serves all the credit he can get.'" ' ' ' - ' : Which is Just the way this correspondent feels, about it. Personally we thought Baldy ws all through when two Tiger tackier hit him after he bad run- toward the center of the field. - ... . But we thought he spun out of it without falling, although he was close to the sod.. : Further, Billy goes on to say: " "The run, incidentally, was a perfect example of how the football fates sometimes turn horrible mental blunders v Into brilliant accomplishment. The bespectacled Klamath kid should never have caught that punt. on the one-yard line. It was early in the second quar ter with the score tied. 64; not the time to make such a desperate gamble. Every fan knows that Foster should have let the punt cross the goal line to give Klamath the bell on the 20-yard line." Of which there can be no doubt. However, the gamble angle is Indisputable. Friday, as it always is in Tiger-Pelican clashes, player pitch in the first minute was keyed to a point usually found only in the clos ing seconds of a normal ball game.

Stanford was something less than terrific against little USF Saturday as Shaughnessy jug gled backfield combinations try ing to find a new quartet. Two fullbacks were on the starting four, Vuclnlch and Sheller. The setup had power but lacked the deception and speed which made the Stanford T the football toast of last year. And the reserve strength behind the first 11 was weak. USF scored four touch-J downs, one on the varsity. The final score was 42-26.

The nation's sports writers in their second poll of the young gridiron season have decreed that the battle for the "Little Brown Jug", shall be one for the country's .mythical title as well.
