Gene Love's 24 Points Spark
locals in Season's First Game
Br BOB LEONARD
Hawi-Hersld Sport Editor
' Spurred by Captain Gene Love's 24 points, tha Klamath
thigh Pelicans last night completely blotted out Yreka's Miners,
62-18, in a ragged first-of-the-season game which itself was de
frayed for over an hour because of the blackout.
. ; The tall Klamaths almost from the very start dominated tha
jout-classed Californians to such an extent that little Donny
iNoel, less-than-five-foot freshman mascot, was twice Injected into
the lineup. Donny popped in the final BlgblU basket on a sleep
ier shot.
i Ball handling and floor play
iwas ragged during tne iirst nan
Ibut improved markedly in the
final periods. For three of the
'1941-42 Pelicans Center Jim
iCox, Forward George Broster
jhous and Guard Ingvar Swan
ion it was a debut on the
KUHS first string.
"" The trio performed creditably
ibut not sensationally, each co
Incldentally bagging three bas
kets and a gift toss for seven
jpoints apiece. Long George, a
:sU-foot-five-..inch lad, bucketed
tha first three BIgbill counters
Ibut appeared awkward under
'the wicket. Swanson, touted as
a long-sh .t shark, sank one from
(the middle and two others from
"points contiguous to the bas
ket," as the army would say.
Cox, a Wildcat graduate, im
pressed r lean house s being
entirely able under the basket
The Klamaths led 9-3 at the
first-quarter pole and 26-8 at the
Intermission. Love's eight points
iin the third drove the Pelicans
Jto-a 46-14 lead as the final
Istanza opened.
': "Both Bocchl and Love, only
(holdovers from last year's state
tourney - semi-finalists,- didn't
appear to have slipped in ability.
The KUHS captain did, however,
'kick several passes around in
the first half but tightened up
in the second. -
The blackout first struck In
the . final quarter of the Wild
cat contest but lasted only a
"few seconds. With the arcs back
On, play was resumed only to be
halted minutes later by a sec
ond obscuration. The second
lasted only a few seconds and
slay was again statred.
The third dousing stuck and
itha Wildcat tiff was halted perm
janently with the locals leading
45-15. . .

Meet Sunday In
Western Finale
,- CHICAGO, Dec. 13 VP) To
morrow, for the third time this
season, those great rivals of the
national football league's west
ern division the Green Bay
Packers and the Chicago Bears
will face each other, but this
time the result will mean far
more than just another win or
loss In the standings.
: For. the victor will be ad
judged western champion, and
will earn the right to play the
Mew York Giants, eastern titl
ists, for the league championship
December 21.
These two well - matched
teams, coached by a great pair
01 strategists, drove neck and
neck through the 11-game season
to finish in a tie for the title,
necessitating this playoff. Each
lost' but one game, in the regu
lar ; campaign the Bears beat
the Packers, and the Packers
beat the Bears.
It is estimated that 20 men
on thi ground are required to
keep one plane in the air. - -

Even With Japs
SEATTLE,'. Dec. 13 (fP)
Moffett field's fliers and the
anti-aircraft "Arkansas Travel
ers of tort Lewis have a per
sonal score to settle with the
Japanese when and if they meet
the trans-Pacific bomb tossers.
The war emergency blacked
out their Pacific Coast service
men's football championship
game, which had been sched
uled for the University of Wash
ington stadium today. It had
been scheduled as a colorful
"khaki bowl" carnival, with the
stands to be packed with uni
forms. Civic leaders had been
ballyhoooing the battle for days.
But late yesterday, a cancella
tion order came from Lieut Gen.
John L.. De Witt of San Fran
cisco, commander of the west
coast military forces.
Appeals from Gov. Arthur B.
Langlie and Mayor. Earl Millikin
of Seattle were to no avail.
Lieut Ray (Butch) Morse, form
er Oregon gridiron star,' headed
his Moffett squad back toward
its California base.
The Moffett team claimed the
west coast service championship
after cleaning up on all Cali
fornia competition. The Fort
Lewis team, built around more
than a full team from Arkansas
Tech, sent out a challenge after
running up lopsided victories
against all military opponents in
the northwest.

All-American; Smith, Albert
Dudley, Sinkwich Backfield
Coast Places Two Gridders on
First Team; Greenough on Second
By DILLON GRAHAM
Sports Editor, AP Feature
Service
NEW YORK, Dec. 13 Per
haps no football player caught
the imagination of the fans this
year as did a broken-jawed south
ern star who played with his
chin tucked behind a special
guarding harness.
This University of Georgia
halfback, Frank Sinkwich,- who
became the country's - leading
ground-gainer, was named today
on the All-America team along
with another Dixie standout
high-scoring Bill Dudley of the
University of Virginia.
Sinkwich picked up 1102 yards
rushing in 10 games, just 20
short of the record of Byron
(Whizzer) White four years ago.
Dudley's figures are almost too
amazing to believe. Besides top
ping scorers with 134 points, he
gained 2467 yards in rushing,
passing, and punt and kick-off
returns.
Rounding out the backf iel(l of
this 17th annual All-America,
chosen by The Associated Press
after a .nation-wide survey of ex
pert opinion, are Frankie Albert,
Stanford's clever quarterback,
and Bruce Smith, captain and
ace ball-carrier of Minnesota's
mythical national champions.
The Middle West, as last year,
gained a plurality of All-America
positions, landing four stars
on the first team and nine on the
complete squad of 33. The South
furnished eight men to the full
squad. Then came the Far West
with six, and the East and South
west with five each.
The Far West produced the
only repeaters from the 1940
clubAlbert and Bob Relnhard,
versatile tackle of the Univer
sity of California. At the other
tackle is Dick Wildung of Min
nesota, giving the Gophers, two
representatives on the first team.
The rest of the line forms
with Missouri's captain, Daroid
Jenkins, at center, Harvard's
Endicott Pcabody II and Pitts
burgh's Ralph Fife at guards,
and Texas Malcolm Kutner and
Wisconsin's Dave Schrcincr at
ends.
Sinkwich, Schreincr and Wil
dung are juniors; the others,
seniors. Nine seniors and two
juniors Albert and Hcinhard
were named last year. The All
America line averages 197 and
the backfield 182. Virginia, Wis
consin, Texas and Missouri are
listed for the first time since The
Associated Press started select
ing the All-America in 1925 after
the death of Walter Camp.
Dudley's selection breaks an
other precedent. At 19, he is the
youngest back ever chosen. Jose
Martinez-Zorilla, 1932 Cornell
end, and Gaynell Tinsley, 1935
Louisiana State end, were also
IB when named.
Dudley, .who toted and pitched
the ball for gains of nearly a
mile and a half, tallied 18 touch
downs and passed for a dozen
more. He also kicked 23 ex,tra
points and one field goal.
Albert Retains Berth
Frankie Albert flashed to the
front in 1940 when he led Stan
ford's miracle team through an
unbeaten season and a Rose bowl
triumph. While the Indians
slumped this season, Albert
didn't. Far West experts rate
him an improved player. ;
Sinkwich was a sensation Sat
urday after Saturday. He never
had a bad day. Coaches remem
bered this when they chose him
unanimously for the All-Southeastern
team. In Georgia's only
defeat by Alabama, Sinkwich
personally outgained the entire
'Bama team.
Smith Key Man
Bruce Smith was the chief
cog in Minnesota's unbeatable
machine, a crack passer, break
away runner, accurate and long
punter and, perhaps most im
portant, the player who sparked
the Gophers' offense.
It was Smith who scored both
of the touchdowns in the gruel
ing opener with Washington;
who broke up most of the tight
duels, including the tough en
counter with Michigan in which
he was hurt; who finished sensa
tionally against Iowa and Wis
consin. Plenty of Competition
This top-riding quartet of Dud
ley, Albert, Sinkwich and Smith
received spirited competition
from Jack Crain of Texas, Steve
Lach of Duke, Derace Moser of
the Texas Aggies and Bob West-
fall of Michigan, who comprise
the second team backfield, and
from Billy Scwell of Washington
State, Jack Jenkins of Vander
bllt, Jimmy Nelson of Alabama
and Steve Filipowicz of Ford
ham, the third team choices.
Jonkins Groat Center
Daroid Jenkin, Missouri's
center and captain, was the key
player and defensive ace of the
once-beaten Tigers who play
Fordham In the Sugar bowl. This
190-pounder called defensive sig
nals, was a ball-hawk on pass
defense, a sure passer, and a
quick diagnostician and hard
tackier while backing up the
line.
Other excellent centers were
Quentin Greenough of Oregon
State, Vincent Banonis of De
troit, Wally Zicmba of Notre
Dnme and Bob Barnctt of Duke.
There was a close battle for
end positions with Schreiner,
unanimous choice for the All
Western conference team, and
Kutner finally chosen. Kutner
had no peers in the Southwest
as an all-around wingman. He
was a sure pass receiver and a
good runner after receiving, but
his defensive play even outshone
his abilities on the attack. Be
cause of his sure-fingered catches
Schreiner was one of the most
dangerous ends in the Big 9.
East Furnishes Guards
' The guards, Ralph Fife of
Pittsburgh and Endicott (Chub)
Peabody 2nd, of Harvard, were
personally credited with engi
neering two of the season's big
gest surprises. It was Fife who
was largely responsible for Pitts
burgh's upset of Fordham In the
Rams' only defeat. "Fife ruined
our whole attack," said Ford-
ham's Jim Crowley. "We
couldn't fake him out of posi
tion." Pcabody drew high praise
for Harvard's 0-0 tie with favor
ed Navy and its rout of Army.
Peabody was recognized as a
defensive standout last year and
this year ho developed the offen
sive charge that made him a
great all-around player. Swede
Larson, Navy coach, said Chub
stopped the Sailors' attack and
Army paid him the compliment
of putting three players on him
(but this didn't work, either.)
Tackle Competition Fierce
- Perhaps the closest competi
tion, outside the backfield, came
at the tackles where Wildung and
Reinhard had a slim edge over
such burly boys as Alt Bauman
of Northwestern. Ernie Blandln
of Tulanc, Bill Chcwning of
Navy and Mike Karmazin of
Duke.
Reinhard was more versatile
than Wildung. He had no super
ior on the coast while perform
ing the regular functions of a
tackle. But, in addition, he did
California's kicking, served as a
passer late in the season and, on
occasion, did some ball-carrying
as a pass receiver. In the Wash
ington- game, after running 30
yards with a lateral, ho caught a
35-yard pass and ran for the
Bears' only touchdown. Bob
played 60 minutes in the last
game against Stanford, helped
block one kick and recovered
another for a score.
It was Minnesota's powerful
line, plus Smith, that carried the
Gophers to a perfect record and
the No. 1 man on that forewall
was Wildung. He was a 60-min-
utc battler in the tough tussles
with Michigan, Washington and
Northwestern. ' Wildung often
blocked' two rivals on the same
play. He was so tough that some
teams finally stopped trying to
get yardage through his slot.
Iowa, for instance, didn't run a
single play at him.
