JAGE EIGHT Graduation Takes Ten From KUHS Track Squad Bocchi, Foster, Vaillancour Among Lettermen Leaving School This Year ' Br VIRGIL GROSS C The Pelican varsity track squad will be depleted for the com ing year by the graduation of 10 outgoing seniors. All but two of them are lettermen. Those graduating this year are co-Captains Richard Vaillancour and Ralph Foster, Jim 'Bocchi, David Mo cabee, Dick Cada, David Persing, Rex Young, Richard Hunter, JU Bellottl and Lewis Voglcr, Vaillancour and Foster have been lettermen for the past three years, bolstering all sprint events and running with the half-mile relay team. David Mocabee is a two-year letterman running a fast 220 and the third leg ot we- half-mile relay team. Foster, Vaillancour and Mocabee were also broad-jumpers and won sev eral field relays in that event as a team. These three men estab lished a new record in the broad- . jump at the Bend relays. - " V David Persing, a quarter-miler, and. Rex Young, also a quarter miler and a good man in the high and low hurdles, deplete half of the relay team of Cada, Persing, Tindall and Foulon. These boys won several mile-relay events this past season, and paved the way for more than one Pelican track victory. Rex Young was capable of making between eight to nine points in a track meet and was also a good pole vaulter. Richard Hunter and Al Bellot tl showed good accounts of them selves In the discus. Lewis Vogler, a promising dis tance boy and out for his first year, in track as a senior, came down with the mumps, ending his high school track career. Of all the colorful and versa tile athletes to grace the roster of Klamath Pelican . athletic teams, the name of Jim Bocchi has a place somewhere near the . top of the roll. Besides being a basketball player of all-state cal ibre, Jim was an all-around track man, participating in all three weight events and the high jump. Jim has won ten firsts in the same number of starts in the high jump in his two-year track ca reer, taking first place In that event in the state meet in 194Z and repeating in 1943. In 1942 Jim entered in the high jump in the Northwestern AAU meet, : winning the event and. In the same afternoon, took third in the , open high jump event. Bocchi, this spring, broke the state rec ord in the discus, setting the new mark at 139 feet, and won the high jump. These two firsts won him the Individual high-point trophy of the State Track and Field meet. Many schools are dickering for his services already and, if he doesn't get called into the army, may prove to be a great college . athlete. Bocchi and the others men tioned will undoubtedly - be greatly missed, as replacements , for them next year will be hard to find. Whatever the boys may do in later life should be worth while as they proved themselves capable while under the tutelage of Paul Deller. HANDBALL CHAMP PORTLAND, May 21 (IP) I John Waner, Portland fireman is new Oregon AAU handball champion. , He won the title by default last night from defending champ Rudy Weiss, who suffered knee injury and was unable to continue play after taking the Iirst game, 21-17, and leading, 6-5, In the second. Relief v : i wyyt -y- May 21, 1943 Montgomery, Beau Collide For Title By SID FEDER NEW YORK, May 21 (IP) Bouncing Beau Jack and Bob Montgomery collided tonight for the world lightweight champion ship, and trying to pick the win ner is like Aunt Emma, making up her mind between the blue hat with the bouquet of bananas or the red one with the bird nest. The Beau is a 5 to 11 choice among the better 49th street bet ting shoppes in this 15-round fuss in Madison Square garden, and most of the wise-guys have been telling you for days that the one-time Georgia shoe-shine boy will put quite a high polish all over the Philadelphia chal lenger once he's turned loose. But when you add everything up, you're still no closer to the answer. Reduced to simple terms like three strikes are out and four aces win the pot it's a question of the' Beau's slam-bang, scatter-shot, shut-your-eyes-and-swing brand of belting against the experience and the body thumping stuff Montgomery has loaded in his cannon. Pelicans Open Season on Army From Newell The 1943 Pelican ''war edi tion" baseball team will open the season with its first practice game of the year; playing the army team at Camp Newell this Sunday at 1:30 p. m. Some fans at first had the impression " the game was against the Japs;, but it definitely is not. The Pelican club has had but two practice sessions thus far but the boys are quickly round ing into top shape. Many as pirants are trying for positions on the team, and a good club may be put on the field this year. High school boys may be turning out by the end of next week and the team may be bol stered. Six or seven players from last year are back; and a few old timers are making comebacks this year. Not much is known of the army team at Camp Newell but they are expected to furnish plenty of competition as most army teams usually do. Worker vrm 1MB Yest-Coast Relays Set For Run-Off 590 Entries to Compete In For West's Big Speed, Muscle Show at Fresno Br RUSS NEWLAND FRESNO, Calif., May 21 (IP) Geared to wartimes through the entry of nearly a hundred crack athletes from the military branches, the 17th annual west coast relays will be run off to morrow in what may well be the final of this outstanding track and field carnival for the dura tion. The 1943 renewal, however, will 'still be. the big collegiate speed and muscle show of the far west. The bulk of the 590 entries, comparable to normal times, will represent the pick of universities, colleges and high schools of the state. As an added attraction the swift sprint relay team of the University of Missouri, kingpin of middlewest competition this season, will test the speed this state has to offer. Whether the relays will be held next year seemed proble matical. The available college athlete in 1944, if the war con tinues, will be a mighty scarce commodity. " For the first time since the track and field fixture was con ceived, the University of Cali fornia appeared in a strategic position to win its initial team championship. As probably the strongest col lege team in the country, Cali fornia's 17-man squad numbers such stars as Harold Davis in the sprints; Grover Klemmer, unof ficial holder of the world's 400 meter dash record; Iron Man Jim Jurkovich, entered in five events, and others making up solid sec ondary power. The California squad cleaned up on all its dual meets this sea, son, including the breakdown of an 18-year reign by the Univer sity of Southern California. Preliminaries Open for Coast Tennis Chase CORVALLIS, Ore., May 21 (IP) Preliminaries will open here this afternoon in the northern di vision Coast Conference tennis championships. The University of Washington, defending champion, is favored to take the title mainly through the presence of the Husky squad of Bob Odman, who is expected to take the singles championship, and possibly the doubles, paired with. Don Peck. The Huskies have been undefeated in dual competition this season. Oregon . State . is . rated thej Huskies' stiffest competitor, with Dick Hallock, Ivan Hatfield and Barney Osipovich all excellent netmen. . Final matches will be played tomorrow. By The Associated Press .

Phillies Trample Lotsa Toes; Threaten Third Place Cardinals By JUDSON BAILEY Associated Press Sports Writer The Philadelphia Phillies not only are standing on their own feet these days, they are tramp ing on the toes of a lot of other clubs in the National league. Here is what they did yester day: .. 1. Shut out the Chicago Cubs in both ends of a doubleheader 3-0 and 2-0, allowing the Bruins just four hits in each game. 2. Made the Cubs' plight so disturbing that Philip K. Wrig ley, their multi-millionaire own er, personally announced settle ment of the club's contract squab ble with Lou Novikoff. 3. Rejected the Brooklyn Dodg ers' offer of two players for Second Baseman Danny Mur taugh, thus causing the Dodgers to sell them Pitcher Newt Kim ball and send Alex Kampouris to Washington for each in order to get under the 25-player limit. 4. Threatened the third-place standing of the World Champion St. Louis Cardinals. The twin triumphs over the Cubs were achieved on superla tive pitching by Charley Fuchs and Lefty Al Gcrhoauscr, a pair of rookies. The Phillies made nine hits off Bill Lee in the first game, but in the nightcap were held to four by Kewpie Barrett, formerly with Seattle, the unlucky gent who recently lost a one-hit game to Pittsburgh. Two singles and some bad in- Count Fleet Gets Another Chance at Picking Easy Money NEW YORK, May 21 (IP) Count Fleet, galloping winner of the Kentucky derby and Proak ness, gets a chance to pick up another easy $17,000 or so and write a new page- in the turf annals tomorrow when he runs in the 68th Withers mile at Bel mont park. Off the speed that Mrs. John D. Hertz's son of. Reigh Count showed in the derby and Preak ness the distance of the ancient $10,000 added race should be right down his alley. In wartime, an Idle rumor In the mouth of anybody should remain that way. Junior . .. tt HiA WsKAwIA Lti JUMIOW9 QrWI w-rciT Jumping to I. C. 4-A Triple fielding by the Cubs provided the Phils both their runs in the third inning of this game. The Phillies' winning string was stretched to five games and they moved within half a game of the Cardinals, who were beat en 5-2 at Brooklyn. This made this four-game Brooklyn-St. Louis scries a stand off between tho Cardinals and Frank (Rube) Melton, who ac counted for both the Dodgers' victories. The former Philly ace stopped the Redbirds 1-0 Monday and then came back on two days rest yesterday to pitch a seven hitter. He kept the Cardinals away from tho plate In every inning except the fourth, when he had a spell of wlldncss and gave three walks, one of them forcing in a run. Big Mort Cooper, the first righthander used by St. Louis in the scries, also was wild, giv ing seven walks in addition to eight hits and he forced one run across by a balk with tho bases loaded. The Dodgers were glad to get out with a split of the scries, but dissatisfied with their infield and were understood to have offered Lou Nova to Take on Ten Round Battle PORTLAND, May 21 (IP) Lou Nova, 28-year-old near-contender for heavyweight title consideration, will take on Chuck Crowell," a fellow Call fornian, in a 10-round main event here tonight. Crowell, 240-poundcr, claims Nova once ran out on him in Los Angeles. Other bouts: semi-final, six rounds Pat Black Cloud, Port land, vs. Zcb Smith, Portland, light heavyweights. Special event, six rounds Young Otto, Portland, vs. Joe Bettina, Fort Lewis; preliminaries Mel Rob erts, Portland, vs. Leo Romani ello, Portland, 140 pounds; Louis O'Lave, Portland, vs. Wayne Parker,' Tacoma, 145, both four rounds. Only about one American male In every 200 attains a height of six feet. Leaguer e-nrwCpWyw;a both Knmpourls nnd Kimball for Murtaugh. Tho Phillies, who used to sell their stars to nil bidders, held tight to Murtaugh, bought Klmbull themselves, and let the Dodgers sell Kampouris to Washington. In the American Icaguo (yes there still is an American league) Boston and Cleveland managed to get in a doubleheader for the only action tho circuit has had sinco Sunday. Boston bagged both games 2-1 In 10 innings and 7-4 to bump the Indians into third place behind tho Yankees and Senators, who were idle Cleveland used 20 players, in cluding six pitchers, in a vnln effort to win tho second session after Oscar Judd's seven-hit pitching had taken tho opener for the Red Sox. Weekend Fishing Prospects PORTLAND, May 21 (IP) Better luck for fishermen this weekend was predicted by the state game commission today. Its weekly bulletin painted this angling picture by counties: Benton Limit catches of large trout being taken from the Alsca river on spinners and worms.

Lou Novikoff Takes Train For Chicago LOS ANGELES, May 21 P) It may havo been that double header they blew to the Phillies yesterday, or perhaps tho Chica go Cubs looked at the standing and discovered they had won l only seven ot 26 games but j something has changed their po ' sltlon on the Lou Novikoff prob lem. Lou, the mad Russian who was ono of the Cubs' two .300 hitters last season, is about to be wel comed back Into tho Wriglcy me nagerie. Ho has been Ignored for two months by Gcnoral Manager Jimmy Gallagher because he spurned an offer of $6500 and asked for $10,000. In those two months Novikoff hos been playing scmipro ball, and so havo tho Cubs. Lou has been earning almost as much at his war plant job as Gallagher offered.
