By JUDSON BAILEY Associated Press Sport Editor Just to show that adages are not always true, opportunity knocked a second time at the door of the New York Yankees today. The Bombers had a chance to clinch the American league championship yesterday and muffed it, but nothing was lost except a day and a ball game, because they had another crack at the same goal this afternoon. - The odds were against the Yankees yesterday. They had taken two in a row from the Detroit Tiger and they were up against one of the best pitch ers in the league, Paul (Dizzy) Trout. He beat them 2 to 1, with five-hit pitching and his own home run in the eighth inning. . . Today the percentage favor ed the Yanks. After being held to one run in two consecutive games they teemed certain to do more scoring and in addi tion their pitcher was to be Spurgcon (Spud) Chandler, seek ing his 20th victory-. - The Washington Senators were idle and will rest again today, leaving the field clear to the Yanks to clinch the championship under their own power. Both the other games in the American league went Into extra innings. The Chicago White Sox and Philadelphia Athletics bat tled 16 innings to a 3-3 tie with neither team scoring after the sixth.

In the National league the St. Louis Cardinals cracked the Brooklyn Dodgers 5-1 with Lefty Max Lanier pitching seven-hit ball and Walker Cooper making four hits in a game for the third time in eight days. Lanier pitched shutout ball till the eighth, by which time the Red birds had completed all their scoring against Curtis Davis. The defeat dropped the Dodg ers into third place as the Cin cinnati Reds nosed out the New York Giants 5-4. The Chicago Cubs spotted the Phillies four runs in the first inning and then battled back to win 7-4 with a three-run rally in the last half of the fifth be fore weather halted play. Paul Derringer, appearing in relief, received credit for the 199th victory of his career.

Temple Triumphs Over VMJ By The Associated Pre The Temple football team, which wasn't supposed to have much, surprised its most ardent followers with a decisive 27 to 0 triumph over Virginia Military Institute at Philadelphia - last! night. The Owls, . sparked by two freshmen, Tony Hubka and Ralph Cardillo, held a bare 7-0 edge at the half, but rolled up 20 points in the last two quarters. The Oklahoma Aggies also sur prised by coming from behind a 13-0 score to beat Texas Tech, 21 to 13, at Oklahoma City. Freshman Bob Fenimore won the game for the Aggies with an 80 yard touchdown sprint.

Bears Open Pro Season; WMC Probes CHICAGO, Sept. 25 WV-The Chicago Bears will open their 1943 National league football season at Green Bay tomorrow with no depletion in their ranks, but the war manpower commission is continuing its in vestigation of off-season em ployment in war jobs of some of their players. WMC Regional Director Wil liam H. Spencer, in charge of the probe, and League Commis sioner Elmer Layden yesterday discussed the reports that five of the bears had left war work to play football.

There were no knockdowns. TRUCKS FOR RENT You Drive Move Yourself Save W Long and Short Trips STILES' BEACON SERVICE Phone 8304 1201 East Mala Victory After Schortgen, Perkins Spark Touchdown A low-flying kick from the toe of Substitute End Jim Palmer cleared the cross-bar by four inches and gave Klamath a one point margin of victory in Fri day night's thrill-packed grid bat tle with Grant high of Portland. The score was 7 to 6, and it was just about as close as that throughout. With the outcome in doubt until the final gun, the spectators got their bonds' worth and then some, and Frank Ram sey' Pelicans were over another hurdle on their way to 1943 gridiron glory. The game gave the Third War Loan an $80,000 boost. Grant used the T formation effectively,-' and Walters and Withers lunged through guard and tackle; repeatedly for good gains. Tne.uenerai were wen- coached and smooth, and they 11 give their Portland opponent plenty of 'trouble. Schortgen, Perkins and Peter- steiner shone in the Klamath backfield. .Prairie, Conroy and Coddington -were strong in the Pelican line. Grant scored first in the third, and the Pelicans had to come from behind to win. It was fiery Bob Perkins and dependable Hank Schortgen who packed the ball most of the way on a 53- yard drive for the tying touch down in the fourth quarter. Per kins rammed it over from the three, and then Palmer came in for the victory boot. The blond left-end calmly swung his leg, sending the ball squarely between the uprights, but barely over the crossbar. It gave Klamath the same winning score over Grant that ended the Generals' . visit here . two years ago. - It was the third straight defeat the Pelicans have handed the Portlanders, always one of the toughest outfits in the inter- scholastic league in the metropo lis. . Score on Pass The Grant score last night came on a beautiful pass, as beautifully caught by the Gener als' right-end, Milne. It was thrown by Kach from the Klam ath 42, and Milne took it on the 15, as Klamath's Silva reached for an attempted interception, Milne bumped, a covering Peli can with his hip, and galloped across the goal line. The kick for point fell wide, giving Klam ath the chance for victory later on with just one touchdown, The first half of the war bond game went scoreless, but with the play largely In Grant terri tory as Klamath showed offen sive superiority on the ground and. knocked down half a dozen Grant passes. Klamath received on its own 26, and rolled two first downs to the General 37, where Schortgen kicked to the General 10. Grant showed offensive spark immedi ately, getting the ball back to its own 40, but two penalties for man-ln-motion and a 14-yard loss because of a bad pass from center forced the Generals to kick. Silva ran the punt back to the SO, Klamath again not going as far as the General 28-yard line, Dut were lost the ball on downs. Grant found the going tough, and Kach kicked out the 42 after another bad pass from center. The Pelicans were in a position to threaten, and Silva and Schort gen in successive plunges car ried the ball to the General 17- yard line. There Grant stiffened Portland High School Football Prestige Dented; Medford Wins By The Associated Press Klamath Falls' Pelicans, gen erally regarded as the power house of Oregon high school football , last year, was off to another winning start today (Saturday) but they had the closest of calls in getting away from the post The Pelicans edged Portland's Grant High Friday night, 7-6, but since the Generals are high ly respected in the Portland inter-scholastic loop, Klamath's second straight bid for a state title claim still is something to be regarded seriously. Little Milwaukle turned in a surprising 13-6 win over the Salem's hapless Vikings who ex pected better things this year but continued right where they left off in 1942.

Score Nullified The Generals swept down the field. A lateral was good for six, Walters ran the left end for a good 28 yards, Kach made eight from punt formation, and a short jab put the ball on the Pelican 30 with a first down. Smith hit the Klamath center for 5 yards, Kach's pass failed, and on the next play Walters broke through center for 25 yards and a touchdown. But Grant was offside on the play, and the score was cancelled. Grant lost the ball on downs. Interception Perkins went in the game for the Pelicans, and a drive got underway to the Grant 39, where Perkins' pass aimed for Codding ton was grabbed by Milne. Cod dington tackled Milne Immedi ately, and it was Grant's ball on its own 29. Grant got nowhere, and Kach kicked to Perkins on the Klam ath 29, where Perk was smoth ered. That ended the half. Kimsey kieked off for the Pelicans, and Smith carried it to the Grant 38. Davis hit center for a couple of yards, and Kach got off a pass-to Walters that put Grant on its own 48.' r. - Grant gained 6 on the ground, and then Kach pulled that swell pass out of the bag, with Milne taking the ball over the goal une. The Pelicans received on their own 39, and the boys began a de termined effort for a tying touchdown. . Perkins sparked the lads on the comeback trail, but Schortgen helped with steady gains, and they went to the Grant 18. The Generals took time off, and that seemed to cool the Pelican power. Perkins was smothered for an 18-yard loss on an attempted fourth-down pass, and the Generals took over on their own 39. Prairie Recovers With the aid of a penalty on the Pelicans, the visitors drove to the Klamath 28, but Grant was then penalized IS and was forced to punt from the 49. The kick was partially blocked and Prairie, Klamath guard, recover ed on the Pelican 47 yard line. It was from there that the Klamaths staged their touch down drive. Perkins started it by going around left end lor 12 yards, Schortgen went over left tackle tice oh Milwaukle that the lea gue battle is going to be a knockdown and dragout. Klamath's dommace in south ern Oregon will be threatened again by Medford, still seeking to regain the glory of the late 20's when it was tops in the state year after year.
