HIDHHP
FROM WAY OUT YONDER
We've a letter today. From a
kid who' a long way from home
and, 'though he doesn't say so, Is
a little homesick.
He's James Ward, Klamath
Union high school '39, currently
James Ward, Contractors FNAB,
Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii,
Barber's Point project.
Here's what he has to say:
"With football season taking
the place of baseball and all the
people of Hawaii beginning to
look upon their favorite team to
help relieve their war nerves, I
couldn't help but call the atten
tion of yourself to the time back
in 1939 when Klamath high
could have played McKinley
high here in Honolulu and how
our coach (Snowy Gustafson)
had fired us up with the idea of
uch a trip.
"As you no doubt nrnua
bar, Klamath did bava a ialrlr
good team that year, for thar
had swept all their opponents
bofora them by big scores,
with the usual (Ed's, note: siel)
exception of Medford which
wa lost by a close score la ona
of tha hardest fought battles
aver to ba witnessed in south
ern Oregon. (Ed's notes Ward, '
a 1939 graduate, apparently
meant tha season of 1938 when
Medford defeated the Pelicans,
8-0. In 1939, the teams tied,
0-0-).
"After seeing how the fellows
over here take to playing foot
ball and hearing how the other
schools have been treated upon
coming here to Hawaii, 1 am
more than ever sorry and disap
pointed that KUHS could not
have sent that team here.
"It is my special hope, that
when this unpleasant task that
our country has to finish and
peace again has been establish
ed, that Klamath high will again
get such a chance but this time
the lads will get to go, for it
would be quite a treat and a
thrill never to be forgotten, not
only to the boys who get to
come to Hawaii, but if they
should exchange games the folks
at home would thrill in seeing
the barefooted, sun-tanned lads
of Hawaii buck the line on the
green turf of Modoc field.
"So until then or when such
a game or possibility comes true,
I remain, ,
i : '"Yours, " "
JAMES WARD,
KUHS 1939.
FOUR DECADES BACK
Exactly 40 years ago " this
week, Walter Camp, famed foot
ball critic, said this about Rich
ard Shore Smith of Klamath
Falls, Ore., then playing on Co
lumbia university s grid squad:
"Weekes and Smith as a pair of
backs ought to be the equals
ot any two men on any team
this season. Weekes can make
end runs to perfection, and
Smith can strike' across the
tackle position with as great
severity as any in the backfield
ot any team last year or this
year."
Richard Shore Smith played
for Oregon and then played four
years at Columbia (you could do
that in those days.) He is now
president of the First National
Bank of Eugene, and in the mid'
die 'twenties served as coach of
the University of Oregon team,
QUARTERBACKING
Coach Large Frank Ramsey
spilled credit In multiple direc
tions at Monday's Quarterback
meeting at which Don Mast and
Neil Mayfield, co-captains for
the Medford game, represented
the team.
Large Frank revealed for the
first time that Don and Neil
wera the first to know of the
death of Foster's step-father and
that Frank himself didn't know
until the team stopped In Ash
land en route to Medford.
Then Don and Neil aoDroach-
ed Ramsey, asked that Ralph be
appointed captain for the- game
ana disclosed his dad's death.
Large Frank told the boys to
carry on according to plans.
They certainly did.
"The finest bunch of boys I've
ever worked with," Ramsey said
of the team.

Otto Graham
Looming as
Passing Ace
Northwestern Star Com

'Cats Lota to Michigan
EVANSTON, m, Oct. 81 (IP)
Northwes tern's Otto Graham
currently holds the honors for
the year's best single-game pass
ing performance but the dark
browed junior halfback only
laughs when terms like "sling
shot wing" and "rubber arm"
are used to describe his ability.
"I just throw,", he said today.
"Some days I feel hot and other
days I can't hit a thing. Against
Michigan I just felt good."
In the Michigan game last Sat
urday (which the Wolverines
won, 34-16) Graham, completed
20 of 29 passes and gained 295
yards. He won wide fame last
year for a season's mark of 36
completions in 75 tries but in
four 1942 games he has hit the
target 37 out of 73.
"Michigan left their flats wide
open," Graham offered as an ex
planation of his feat Saturday.
"I could have completed passes
out there all day. They were
just' going good and the boys
were doing a nice job of catch
ing them."
Graham's "hot ' day" against
the Wolverines ran his passing
total for the season to 482 yards.
Only four of his throws have
been intercepted.
EUGENE, Ore, Oct. 21 (AP)
Tommy Roblin, ace Oregon
backfield man, probably will be
a blocking back against the
Idaho football team here Sat
urday. Roblin started the season as
principal ball carrier, but in
the game against Washington
two weeks ago was in the
quarterback position most of
the time.
Coach John Warren said he
liked the experiment well, and
might use Bob Reynolds, negro
speedster, at left half, Scotty
Deeds at right half and Bill
Davis at fullback.
CORVALLIS, Ore., Oct. 21
(AP) Lineup revisions today
gave the Oregon State football
team one of the heaviest back
fields in the coast conference.
Choc Shelton, 200-pound al
ternate fullback, was shifted
to right halfback so that he
and Fullback Joe Day, 200,
could be in the game at the
same time to crack opposition
lines,
Rounding out the quartet are
Everett Smith, 190, left half,
and Boyd Clement, 207, quar
terback. Coach Lon Stiner said he ex
pected Guard Orv Zielaskowskl,
injured three weeks ago, to be
ready for the game against
Washington State in Portland
Saturday.

One Armed, But Jones
Is Tulsa's Line Star
Ellis Jones, Red-Haired Right Guard,
Earns Post Over Two-Armed Candidates
By BEN FUNK
. TULSA, Okla., Oct. 21 (IP) Rugged, Red-Haired Ellis Jones,
University of Tulsa right guard,
be much harder to handle, opposition linemen say, if he had as
many flippers as an octopus.
A lot of people were surprised,
the quiet, modest Texan won a
ful Tulsa football team of recent years.
But Coach Henry Frank insists that he was entirely in his
right mind when he gave Jones
the nod over a field of half a
dozen pretty good guard candi
dates. "Jones is very' fast and has
tremendous leg power," Frnka
said. And he can block, kick,
and is a good tackier.
Jones injured his right arm in
a fall from a tree when he was
11 years old. Blood poisoning
forced doctors to amputate the
arm near the shoulder.
One of his boyhood ambitions
was to play football and he de
termined not to let the handicap
stop him. He went out for
football as a freshman in the
Abilene, Tex., high school.
"Better not do it, kid," advised
Coach Dewey Mayhew. 'This is
a rough game and you might get
hurt."
But Jones couldn't be talked
out of it. So, to keep him out
of danger and out of the way,
Mayhew assigned him to a
scrub team where he had little
chance for action.

A report on Jones came to
Frnka last fall from a scout who
saw San Angelo play the Cam'

"That one-armed guy," said the
scout, "was in their backfield
all day."
Frnka was skeptical but saw
to it, nevertheless, that Jones
