The chances are you are never
going to see Jimmy Brown up
there in the Hall of Fame. And
you'd be willing to bet hi
chance of landing the most valu
able player award any year are
about a bright as one of those
"solid gold" watches you can
pick up for a dollar.
But when It comes to nanatng
out the posle to the guy who did
as much or more than anyone
else to bring the St. Louis Card.
Inula the National league pen
nant, don't overlook Jame Rob
ertson Brown of the Jamesville
(S. C.) Brown, pal.
Of course, the Cards still have
the little Job of sewing up the
flag first. But after their 2-1
win over Pittsburgh yesterday
In which Second Sacker Brown,
Incidentally, knocked both runs
across they still sported a 21
game bulge, with only five to
go, even though Brooklyn took
a 3-1 decision over tne amines.
And around Broadway today, the
boys were laying 20-1 against the
Bum.
There will no doubt be some
argument over Jimmy Brown,
of course. From day to day when
the folks it around over their
oda pop, they talk about Mort
Cooper zip-ball and the awful
things country slaughter does to
pitcher. And when you men
tion Jimmy, they generally brush
him off with, "oh, yeah, he'
pretty good too, but he's only
batting .260." Yet, National
league managers say he's the key
man In the works, the guy who
Hold the Infield together. And
opposing lnfielders shudder
when he gets on base, because,
they tell you, "he'll steal any
thing."
Yesterday, he pulled one out
of the fire almost without any
help. In the fourth inning, he
singled the first run home. Then,
after the Bucs tied it up, he
drilled a hit through the Infield
in the ninth to knock the game
wrecker across. Meantime, the
Dodgers took a 3-1 lead in the
first frame against the Phils and
hung onto It, although Klrby
Hlgbe was in more tough spots
than a rubber check specialist.
WHITE SOX GENEROUS
NEW YORK According to
the clubhouse boy at Yankee
stadium, the White Sox are the
most generous tippers In base
ball. lenced. Former professional
stars play side by tide with
amateur in one big happy fam
ily. There is Lt. Gale O'Brien,
former Nebraska tackle, who
played pro ball for eight year.
Lt. Ed Manake, ex-Northwestern
end, served a five year hitch
with the proa. Lt. O. W. Mc
Dowell, end, and Ensign Nello
Falaachl, quarterback, are four
year professionals. An ex-pro
or a three year varsity man
doesn't have to be taught how
to play football.
Coach Oliver' only problem
is to coordinate the talent he ha
on hand. Any one of three back
fields available would make
most college coaches turn
handspring for Joy. The same
goes for the linesmen.
The Frefllghters employ two
styles ot attack, the T-formation
and the Notre Dame box. In
their opening contest they had
more success with the "T" than
the shift Ensign Falaschi spark
ed one of the backfields in the
T-formation and although he i
schooled in the Notre Dame sys
tem a an old Santa Clara play
er, his quarterbaoklng was as
spectacular as that of Frank Al?
bert, who led Stanford to the
1040 coast conference champion

on as many of the big colleges
as It can schedule this fall and

Klamath Coach Calls Pass Defense
Inadequate; Signal Calling Flayed
"We were lucky, very lucky," Coach Frank Ramsey told
member of the Quarterback club Monday noon in recounting
tha Klamath Falls-Grant high football game ot last Friday which
the Pelican won, 15-0, although outgalned and outdowned.
"Our pas defenie wa Inadequate to handle the clever aerials
the General tossed at u and Dick Vaillancour's interception
could have gone either way," Ramsey said. "If he had missed the
catch, it would have meant a
clear score for them, the big
coach asserted.
The new KUHS mentor said,
however, that he was very well
satisfied with the defensive play
of the line which was topped by
the work of Phil Blohm at cen
ter. Signal calling, he asserted,
left much to be desired.
Ramsey's address headed a
well-attended meeting of Quart
erbacker. In the Willard hotel.
The session was conducted by
President Lee Jacobs and also
addressed by Joe Peak, director
of Klamath school athletics.
Jacobs appointed a committee
to handle the club annual end-
of-the-season awards to Pelican
football players. He named the
following group:
Don Drury, Kiwanis club; Bill
Constan, Lions' club; Lee Smith,
veteran Pelican fan; Lynn Roy
croft, game announcer: Bob
Leonard, Herald and News sports
editor; and Gordon Capps, Radio
Station KFJI sports announcer.
This Friday night the Pelicans
tie Into the Redding, Calif., high
school team, coached by Frank
Nihil, former KUHS Wildcat
coach on Modoc field.
Ramsey said he expected Ni
hil to work from a power forma
tion with a minimum of passing.
The former Wildcat coach turned
out an unbeaten secondary team
during his stay here three year
ago.
It wa learned today that this
year's Wildcat team, under
Wayne Scott, dropped a 34-0 de
cision to the Henley Hornet of
the Klamath county B league Fri
day night on the Hornet field.
