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.

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.

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.

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.

Count Fleet, galloping winner of

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

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

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.
Yesterday Clarence (Pants)

talked terms and Lou sold he'd
