PELICANS SLACK OUT CAVEMEN, 31 to Mast, Foster , Schortgen Carry Ball for Championship; State Title By MALCOLM EPLEY Klamath's super-charged Peli cans flattened the Grants Pass Cavemen, 31 to 0, on Modoc field Friday night to win the South ern Oregon conference cham pionship and ' cinch a tighter claim on the state high school gridiron title. Mast, Foster and Schortgen packed the ball for long gains through holes ripped wide open by the hard-charging Pelican line, and when it was allover Klamath had run up nearly 400 yards from scrimmage. The outcome was never In doubt, but the plucky Cave men made a game of it with a brilliant if desperate passing at tack that twice carried them within the Pelican 10-yard line Coach Marchmont Schwarti (center) of Stanford talks things over with a coupla of his line men about their game today with U.C.LJ.., coast conference pace setters in Los Angeles.

Sports Briefs k VVl Hu9b pr:t Fullertorw Jt.j? -a V NEW YORK, Oct. 81 () There's many a slip which is about as good a way as any to sum up the prospects for the big- league hockey season that gets started tonight. ... Nobody knows how it will end, but you can figure that its showing will be a good indication of the fu ture of baseball and other sports. ... For instance, with about 40 per cent of last year's players al ready in the armed forces, hock ey clubs are loading up with guys like Ebbie Goodfellow and Sweeney Schriher, who either had retired or were about to; they're using former third- stringers and minor leaguers in some of the more important spots and bringing in as many 17 and 18 year old rookies as they can. . . .

Big Night for Mast Versatile Don Mast had a great night, gaining almost mon otonously five, six and eight yards through the center of the Cavemen line. The great Klam ath fullback carried the ball 23 times for 145 yards of ground gains and tossed two passes good for 18 yards. He accounted for the first Klamath touchdown on a short plunge through center in the first. Sensational play of the eve ning came when the unbeliev able Ralph Foster, Klamath's long run artist, came through with a 90-yard gallop from scrimmage in the second quarter.

First in was Harold Kester of Pendleton with a bull elk. One other carcass came in Thursday to Pendleton and early Friday four two bulls and two cows were ship- pea tnrough here by a Portland party of seven hunters. It was not expected large nunv bers of carcasses would be show ing up until Sunday or Monday. Many hunters went into the hills intending to spend most of the week, and weather is cool enough to keep the meat in good condition. Scores - COLLEGE Midtllo West Tiilrt 40, Drake 0.

The scrimmagers untangled and everybody took after Hnlph, who by that time was charging up the right side line. At the Klamath 40, several Cavemen (it looked like 12) had Foster hopelessly boxed against the side. Tacklers' hands were all over him. But out of the swarm came Fos ter, dancing almost in mid-air. He stumbled, regained his stride, and was off for another 60 yards for a touchdown, slowing down almost to a trot at the end as Pelicans fended off amazed Cavemen who had taken up the chase again.

Tulsa's golden hurricane, swirling through the Missouri valley conference at a 40-point clip, blanked Drake university, 40-0, with young Clyde Leforce outshining and veteran fullback, Glen Dobbs. It was the third con ference victory for the Okla homans, each of 40 points or bet ter, their sixth of a nine-game schedule and it boosted their scoring record to 296 points for the season. Augustana of South Dakota stopped North Dakota, 19-0, for us seventh, straight triumph: St. Thomas downed St John's 18-0, for victory number five and Du buque of Iowa kept its record clean by knocking Wartburg out ol the unbeaten ranks, 25-6, for its seventh win in as many starts. South Carolina pushed the Cit adel from the select circle of unbeaten, untied elevens, 14-0, in a Southern conference game striking through the air for both touchdowns in the final period, It was the first victory of the season for South Carolina and the first loss in five starts for the Citadel.

Both in cidents had spectators ga-ga as well as opponents. Foster accounted for one other Klamath touchdown, on a 10- yard stab inside left end. The last two of the five touchdowns were made by Silva. who plung ed seven yards to score for the. second string, and by Prairie, third string lineman, who romp ed 70 yards late in the fourth after intercepting a Caveman pass. Weather conditions, despite dire predictions earlier in the week, were ideal as Grants Pass received the kickoff to start the conference championship event. Tough Pelican Lin The Cavemen found the Peli can line impregnable at the start, and Skow kicked to the Klamath 32. Klamath took over and made three first downs in quick succession. There was a signal mix-up and Foste fum bled. Mast kicked over the Cave man goal line. Grants Pass was stopped again and Skow's punt was almost blocked, but it t o o k a queer bounce to the Klamath 26. Fos ter went four yards. Mast plunged twice for 25 yards through gaping holes in tho mid dle of the line. Mast faked a pass and rolled to the Caveman 36 as the first quarter ended. Mast supped through again to the 31, but an attempted lateral, Mast to Mayf ield, was intercept ed by Caveman End Lathrop. A minute later Selby came back to intercept a Caveman pass on the Grants Pass 40. Mast made five on two plunges, Foster faked a pass and made it a first down on the Grants Pass 25.

It worked so I kissed him. Otherwise, I'd probably have taken his suit away. We had been using a shift in which the backs lined up on one side and the line unbalanced to the other. From this we ran and used a flood pass to the weak side. Goddard noticed that the de fensive left halfback was suck ing to the left trying to intercept the pass. He made up the following play: The ball was snapped to the passing back, who faked the flood to the left. Goddard hesi tated five counts, cut out to the right, took the pass as diagram med and ran 33 yards to score the winning points. stopped 19-0 by Northwestern college of Wisconsin, In the nation's capital, Ken tucky defeated George Washing ton, 27-6, with Triple-threater Charley Kuhn scoring two touchdowns, setting up a third and kicking three extra points. on musicians and football play ers, has sprinkled the second air force liberally with both.

But the Cavemon were not through, and a momont Inter pulled a sleeper play that very nearly scored. Clayton took EUohm's kickoff on the 10 and ran it to the 24. Smith, Cave man quarter, lay down on the sideline after the runback, and on tho next play, Gray lobbed a high, wobbly pass to Smith who carried it to the Klamath 4D be for tho surprised Pelicans caught up with him. Two more passes, Conner to Smith and Conner to Clayton, carried the ball to the Klamath nine, and another one to Clay ton placed it on tho five. Clem ent, Klamath lineman, stopped the scoring threat by intercept ing Clayton's pass. Then Cam FotUr Ho was downed on the Klam ath 7. Foster made three through the line and on the next play pro duced his spectacular 00-yard specialty that made it Klamath Falls 19i Grants Pats 0. Vall lancour's try for point failed. The half ended a moment later with the ball in Caveman pos session on their own 20. After an exchange of punts at the be ginning of the second half, Schortgen and Mast mixed them up for a scries of gains to the Caveman 20. Schortgen was nailed for an 8-yard loss, two passes failed and the Passmen took over on downs on their 28. The Cavemen then began a sustained passing drive. Four successive first downs took tho ball to the Pelican 15, and Smith then sneaked through to the 10. But the Rnmscymen stiffened, nailed Edwards for a 7-ynrd loss, and took over on downs. Schortgen raced 13 yards, but a fumble by Mast was recovered by Caveman Marshall. The Grants Passmen were again within scoring distance, on the Klamath 31, but could get no "He made It up In the huddle. HEATH TRIES ARCHERY.

Tho alr-mlndcd Caveman backs, Clayton, Gray and Connor, whipped many a beautiful pass and their receivers caught a lot of them for long gains. Three Gcepco passes were good for 25 yards each, and altogether the Cavemen completed nine for 142 yards. That's a lot of good passes in any man's game. The Cavemen furthermore showed rugged spirit and in that de partment, particularly, shone over the Eugene Axemen, who played here the previous week and took a similar shellacking from tho terrific Pelicans. Grants Pass did not measuro up to reports about It that have been coming over tho hilt, but maybe Just nobody can look good against these Pelicans, They have one more game, the Armistice afternoon affair with Bend, which should bo an easy one for Klamath. If they get over that hurdle, the Pelicans will be in a position to claim the state title. Coach Frank Ramsey's men have now defeat ed seven teams In two states, and the scores are getting so de cisive all games look like breath ers. Reserves are getting a lot of experience and Ramsey now has 'cm about three deep for any position. J. Bivins, Mauriello Bout Set NEW YORK, Oct. 31 (P) Boxing's war - time "duration champ" of the heavyweights probably will come out of a No vember 27 Madison Square Gar den bout between Tami Mauri ello and Jimmy Bivins, and the prospect shouldn't make Joe miss a minute's sleep or a plat ter of fried chicken. For, while Mauriello showed plenty of power in the stretch to overhaul the tiring Dcs Moines veteran, Leo Savold, in the last two heats, win a 10 round decision in the Garden last night and get the shot with Bivins, he didn't uncover any thing that puts him in Louis' league yet. And as for Bivins, although he holds decisions over Mauri ello and Bob Pastor in recent operations, he still is barely more than a light-heavyweight. He'll probably be the betting favorite when he and Mauriello collide, and since Louis has said he didn't figure on fighting any more, the Clcvelandcr could conceivably, by beating Tami, stay right on top after the war. Out of last night's brawling came quite a few nervous break downs among the village's better-known bookmakers. They had installed Tami a 1 to 3 shot to knock off . Savold, and the betting action was brisk. Yet, so close was tho tusslo that at which is with Kansas Wcsleyan university Saturday in Sallna, and tho noxt, against tho Fort Riley military polico at Topeka, Kan. But the next is the one tire boys here aro waiting for con fident, liko all fans, of no dis turbing upsets meanwhile. That one brings the bombers homo to meet Washington Stato, current ly No. 2 team In tho Pacific coast conference. They feel a victory over W. S. C. will give them a shouting chanco at a post season bid. After all, they reason, didn't service teams play In tho Roso Bowl in 1018 and 19187 And aren't the Bombers (still quoting the boys) tho hottest collection of football players that ever trod the lime striped turf?

I'AGIi TEN Everybody Talks, But f Gopher Win Remains CHICAGO, Oct. 31 (P) Now that most everyone, Including Referee Jamas Mimker and Commissioner John L. Griffith, has -i-hnd a say In the controversial drop kick cnlnode that ultimately brought Minnesota a 1614 win over Michigan lant Saturday, th cn.io was closed today and Michigan still was without a victory .... over tho Gophers In 10 years. Mu.ikcr this week admitted penalty on Minnesota for too seconds of the first half, when tho disputed piny occurred. Griffith, Western conference commissioner, In a statement . A said that "College games nro never played over and scores r ,, not reversed, no mnttor what may have happened, ones th -,A gnmo Is ended," In his statement, however, ho concluded nfter hearing reports and studying movies of tho game that omission of th penalty (for taking timo out to substttuto after Minnesota already had v.'. exhausted its legal limit of three) was tho only defection In the ' sequence of happenings. Michigan officials contended that had the penalty been ..' scssed with the clock ticking off the final seconds, Bill Garnans ' would not have hnd. timo to kick the goal. ' However, Masker did not concede that th laps altered th - outcome of the game. Saturday's dispute was the since tho famous "fifth down" Incident in the 1040 Cornell Dartmouth game, when Cornell scored on a pass in the last three seconds to win 7-3. Later whon Referee Red Frlesoll admitted tho error, Cornell officials Insistod Dartmouth be declared th winner and tho record books carry a 3-0 defeat for Cornell. HHW .jw i-frrb - the end of the eighth round, tho "hedgers" made. Savold 5 to 8 to hold on for the win. Up to that point, tho bristling belting was as close as one-undone.
