PAGE EIGHT THIRTY. FOR NOW This, folk, Is l'envoi, farewell and goodbye. Till a happier time. ' - As It has to many men, service last week came to us. Effective Monday, Nov. 16, we're trading this Underwood for a Garand and shortly, thereafter will be found at Camp Carson, Colo., in basic training with the mountain infantry, known generally as the ski troops. ' Thus will end our 21 months V on the sports desk which started with our succession to a job vacated with Pelican Bill Cum mings' Induction by the air corps. Thus, too, will end the most pleasant 21 months In the adult life of this column. We, per naturr.l course, have had our arguments, to be sure. We have, at one time and anoth er and with varying intensity, either feuded or been accused of having bickered with (a) the Pelican baseball team (b) the Na tional Park service (c) the Crater Lake ski club (d) the guys in charge of local alleged ice skat ing (e) George Demetrakos (f) the KUHS basketball team and (g through z) the KUHS football team. And the grapplers. Which charges we have neith er denied nor affirmed. We have followed the course of informa tion rather than publicity; news rather than puff. For, in the final analysis, those ' are para mount But while we've been up braided, we've been applauded, too. In a business where praise is a mute and criticism gar rulous, we're grateful for that. . This correspondent was an easterner. We came to the west early in 1938 bent on a lumber career. Somehow we were side tracked into journalism, where we hope to stay. Regardless of profession, In the west we feel we've come home. We're coming back when the last Jap has been stabbed, the last German crushed and the last Italian captured. To the Pelicans: Keep hittin' em. ' kids. Yours is the best high school ball club these old eyes have ever seen. But for get that I said it until after next Wednesday. To the baseballers: If you're still present next summer the Medford jinx has been busted. Make it permanent. To you fishermen and hunters: About all we can offer is con dolences, unless you've an X card. To' the grapplers: Shipbuild ing is good honest work. And to the rest of you who take yours sitting down: Keep a box score on the Japs and, if you want to make any bets you can always get 4 to 3 odds on a cinch winner. Just drop in at your nearest bond and stamp booth and lay 10 per cent across the board on our side. Well, that's about it. Beginning tomorrow, your conductor will be Wes Guderian, photographer extraordinary and a handy man with an adjective. Step in, Wesley, and meet the people. And so long, folks, for a while, Weekend Fishing Prospects PORTLAND, Nov. 6 (IP) Ex- - cept for Rogue river where good fishing is reported, prospects for the weekend are spotty, the state game commission indicated to day. Reports from the three coun ties included in the commission's weekly bulletin: COOS Angling fair In south ern half of country but no catches reported in north; Co quille river fair for trout and salmon. Coos bay and slough lair tor bass. JACKSON Rogue yielding good catches of steelhead and trout with eggs giving best re sults. Applegate district fair. TILLAMOOK Fishing poor through county streams but a small run of silvers is reported in the bay and lower rivers. Big Nestucca and Tillamook rivers may improve by the weekend, however. GOOD DUCK SHOOTING CHICAGO, .Nov. 6 CP) Illi nois duck hunters should get about the best target practice and the most duck in the coun try. Frank Bcllrose, Jr., game technician of the state natural history survey, insists 2,100,000 of the fowl are waiting to duck bird-shot in the state. . .. November 6, 1942 MS Inferior Football Not True Survey Shows Freshmen Do Not Make Weak Teams By HAROLD CLAASSEN NEW YORK, Nov. 6 (IP) All those dire predictions of second- rate football early this fall be cause various conferences and in dependent elevens augmented their slender supply of gridiron talent by use of freshmen aren't borne out in a survey made by the Associated Press. Taking 20 of the schools in the informal eastern sector, the southeast and the Rocky moun tain s Big Seven conferences were the yearlings this season have equal playing rights with upper classmen, it was discov ered that the 1942 elevens are stronger on offense and weaker on defense than those same teams were a year ago. As a double check, a similar survey was made of the games played this season and last by Big Ten, Pacific coast and south western conference clubs, which do not use freshmen. The 20 teams which now use freshmen participated in 113 games before November 1 last year with an average score of 17 to 8. This season the same clubs had competed in 120 con tests as they turned Into No vember, with the average score 18 to 11. A year ago the Big Ten, Pa cific coast and southwest mem bers had. blocked , and tackled their way to 132 decisions with the average score 17 to 11. This fall in 154 games, the mean has been 15 to 10. riCHTi y TIM AnoclitKf Prm JERSEY CITY Frank Franeonerl, 11!, Baronne, N. J., drew with Out Lertoe, IJM4. New York (8).

BIBLE Head Coach, University of Texas It was the final game for last year's Texas team. The Long horns, on their home grounds, were particularly anxious to show well against Oregon, to make their graduation from college foot ball something to remember. ' -.'" The score was 14-0 In our fa vor as the second quarter got under way, and Oregon start ed marching. The second team was in, the starters having run up a fairly safe lead. When the Oregon march started, the Texas starters be came nervous. They wanted to get in. The march continued. The clamor to return to the game grew louder. The second team held off a . couple of thrusts at the goal line. By this time the first string was plead ing to go in. Finally I sent them in, Ore gon having the ball deep in our territory. - On the first play after the first string got in, the ball was snapped to Tom Roblin. Every man on the Texas team started for him, apparently had him cor nered. But he suddenly lateraled to Curt Meacham, That fine run Pelicans Drill for Lava Bears State Title,' Extra Game Hinges on Armistice Day Struggle with Bend " After a brief rest, Klamath high school's title-bound Peli cans went back to work at mid week, drilling for their ' final scheduled game against the Bend Lava Bears on Armistice afternoon. - There is nothing - in the pic ture to indicate a change in the outlook for that game, in which the Pelicans are heavy favorites to win. Frank Ramsey's men are in tip-top shape, there are no injuries of consequence, and the Pelican record far outshines that of the Central Oregonians. However, Bend is reported im proving and a sharp battle is expected. Meanwhile, talk of an extra schedule game or two fills the autumn atmosphere hereabouts. Whether anything of the kind will be attempted depends, of course, on the outcome of the Bend game. If it is a Pelican victory, as seems probable, the Klamaths will claim the state championship for the first time in local gridiron history, and will be looking for a new test. Coach Ramsey is hankering for a game with the Everett, Wash., squad. Everett is unde feated and is rated as a pow erful outfit, and a victory over that team would give Klamath some sort of claim for "north west honors. . . . Everett cannot play at night at home because of dim-out reg ulations, and it- is just possible the game might be scheduled for Klamath Falls November 20. That would be a welcome de cision for Klamath fans, who like their football this year for obvious reasons. Ramsey and local gridiron enthusiasts snort at the report from Portland that the Grant Generals, defeated early in' the season 15 to 0 by the Pelicans, are boasting they are a state championship outfit. It was pointed out that the Generals have been vanquished by Klamath Falls and that an other game with them would not be considered by the high school here. The Generals lost their chance for a state champ ionship in that first game. Another suggestion, however. has come from an Important source. That is a proposal that it Klamath defeats Bend (and Everett if that game is sched uled) that a game be arranged in Portland between th Pelicans and an all-star team from - the Portland prep league. That would come early In December. By that time, Port land preppers would be through their regular season, and the journalists and other big-shots of the ship-building metropolis could pick an all-star squad from all high schools of the city to meet the terrific Peli cans. That would be a game worth seeing, and the proceeds could go to a war or charity benefit. It may not pan out, but its an idea. ning back, in the clear, swung wide to the right around Mai Kutner, an all-America end who was completely blocked out. Meacham crossed the goal-line with not a Texas man near him. You can guess the' sort, of razzing the second and third teams gave the first string In the locker rooms when the game and season were finished.

Grid Camp Notes SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6 (IP) Coach Pest Welch called for a workout today in Kezar stadium where his Washington Huskies meet Stanford university in a football game tomorrow. The 28-man Washington squad arrived last night and Fred Ol son, senior end and ace place kicker was not among the visit ing gridmen. PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 6 (IP) Marchie Schwartz, Stan ford university football coach, has a backf ield of comparatively inexperienced men which can boast plenty of speed, but slight kicking ability. The quartet, slated to get an opportunity to show their heels to the Washington Huskies to morrow in Kezar stadium at San Francisco, is composed of Bobby Andrews, quarterback; Al Hoisch, left halfback; Ben Mor rison, right ' halfback; and Art Shipkey, fullback. None of the four has shown outstanding punting ability. EUGENE, Ore., Nov. 8 (IP) The Oregon Webfoots today had Coach John Warren's word that it would take more than the Hayward field jinx to defeat the conference-leading UCLA Bruins here tomorrow. Although the Bruins never have won a game here, Warren said, "Don't sell Oregon short, but we'll be lucky to win." The Webfoots' new backfield combination appeared to be the best Warren has found this year. It features Len Surles at quarter, Bob Reynolds and Roy Dyer at the halfback post and Tommy Roblin, whose sensational run ning marked the California game last week, at full. CORVALLIS, Ore., Nov. 8 (IP) Coach Lon Stiner warned his Oregon State college football team not td take the Montana game here tomorrow too lightly and offered Dick Bowman as a case in point. ' Bowman, Montana's sopho more star, has piled up a total of 440 yards from running and passing, Stiner said, and that's considerably more than any Bea ver back has to his credit. The Beavers featured passing and pass defense yesterday. BASEBALL CONDITIONER LOS ANGELES, Nov. 6 (IP) As far as .Hank Greenberg is concerned, baseball is just a good game for - conditioning soldiers. Greenberg, former Detroit Ti gers slugger, is now a lieutenant in the army air forces, in charge of physical training at a Fort Worth, Tex., base, I can't talk baseball now; I haven't played in over a year," said Greenberg, here for a con ference. "To me it's just a good conditioner for troops." M MB nmir MtaBaH Trappers Attention We have been the largest buyers of raw furs In and around Klamath Fall.

Valuable Player Ray Robinson Favorite Over Vic Delicurti NEW YORK, Nov. 8 (IP) Al though Ray Robinson, Harlem's tap-dimclng root-suited fighter, is a 5 to 12 favorite to win his 38th consecutive professional bout tonight approximately 10,- 000 fans are expected for his 10 round scrap with Vic Delicurti in Madison Square garden. It will be Robinson's second start in the middleweight ranks, having easily polished off Jake Lamotta recently. The Harlem hammerer will take a 12-pound weight handi cap into the ring with him against Dcllicurtl but expects to offset this with his heavier at tack, longer reach and his great er height. Dellicurti will weigh In the neighborhood of 158 while Rob inson, who exhausted the supply of welterweight opposition while building up his victory strong, will come In at about 144.

The big and capable U. C. L. A. Bruins who huve rolled ovor their Inst four opponents In crushing fashion lake on the oft beaten Oregon Webfeot at Eu geno In a game that looks llko just another stop on tlio Roso Bowl highway for the Invaders, Oregon tins lost four of Its last five games and apparently has little short of trench mor tars to throw against the Bruins, surprise team of the loop. University of Washington, fresh from a 13-0 triumph over Oregon State, takes on Stanford nt San Francisco . In a fairly Even-Stephen encounter, though Washington's record Is marred only by a 10-6 loss to California while Stanford has lost four. Stanford found a scoring punch In beating UBMS. C. two weeks ago, but could do littlo against TJ. C. L. A. last Saturday. California, with brittle Half back Jim Judkovich seemingly healthy again, meets U. S. C. nt Los Angeles, anxious to extend Its winning strenk of two gumes over Washington and Oregon. The Trojans list Washington Stato as thotr only victim, and likely will be short-enders in the wagering. Washington State's clash with Michigan Stute might well steal the coast spotlight. Tho Cou gars, beaten only once and con sidered U. C. L. A.'s biggest stumbling block In the confer ence raco have rested a week after trimming Oregon Stute, and are confident of knocking over the easterners, who have lost two and tied one.
