PACE EIGHT HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON spor4$ 'fJl ' Briefs V; Br I sfZL', Hugh I V miUrton. Ji. ' NEW YORK,' May 30 (IP) What seems to be bothering tlio college football coaches, who have been indulging in "remark ably frank" talk the past couple of days, is not so much that the rules committee won't rule as the fact that the men most vitally nv crested in football the coaches are beiiic consistently ignored ; . . As one of them pointed out yesterday, they have only a minority representation on the rules committee, and they aren't even permitted to choose the men who represent them. . . For example, Lou Little, nead ruies Jnan for the Coaches association, isn't on the committee but an old stand-by is Dana X. Bible, who didn't come here for the meet ing although a number of others from the soutnwesi maae me trip. LIGHT LEXICON Clarifying the pronunciation of a few National league names, tub-thumper Bill Brandt reports that Walker Ockey, the Giants' rookie pitcher, is pronounced like a cockney's name for a game they play on skates. . , . The Reds' walloper from Walla Walla (that's not bad, either), Tony Criscola, is pronounced like a new soft drink invented by San ta Claus. .' A ROOKIE A DAY Eddie Basinski, Dodgers' sec ond baseman: Before Leo Dur ocher tossed Basinski, a shortstop fresh out of Buffalo university, into the Dodgers' second base gap, Brooklyn had made 14 double plays; in 10 days Eddie has figured in 11 twin killings and has hit around .400 . . . . Basinski wanted to be a violinist but his father persuaded him to study engineering; in high school he played tennis, but while he was completing a four year college course in three years, he managed to play enough baseball to draw a $1500 bonus offer from Branch Rickey. Out-of-Bounds Kickoff Kicked Out by Coaches NEW YORK, May 30 (IP) The intentional out-of-bounds kickoff, which irked countless football spectators last fall, was inten tionally kicked out-of-bounds by rirst meeting of the college t oot ball Coaches association. The mentors, completing a two- day session late yesterday, voted unanimously against the off-the-field boot and sent recommenda tions to LL Col. William Bing ham of Harvard, that his NCAA rules committee meet as soon as possible to make two changes in the playing code. - The first suggestion would put tne Dan in piay, louowing an out-of-bounds kickoff on the re ceiving team's 45-yard line in stead of the 35 and would allow the kicker the use of an artificial tee. Unrestricted forward . passing behind the line of scrimmage was the second suggestion. Un der the present rules, the passer must be five yards behind the line. - The unrestricted passing rule is a part of the National Football league s rule book... . ANGOTT READY , NEW YORK, May 30 (IP) Sammy Angott, former light weight champion, today wound tip iu days of hard training in New York for his June 6 bout with Ike Williams at Shibe park in Philadelphia. He and his manager, Charley Jones, will go to Philadelphia tomorrow where Angott will complete his drills. The former champ tipped the scales at 142 pounds after his latest workout. Pitts Rate National E For Effort Undermanned Pirates Use Every .Pitcher Available In Moving Into 2nd Place By JACK HAND Associated Press Sports Writer Frankie Frisch and his seven man Pittsburgh pitching staff may not win the National league pennant but they rate a large "E" for effort at this stage of the season. By winning nine of their last 11 starts, the under-manned Pirate crew has moved to within three games of the leading St. Louis Cardinals, taking second place away from Cincinnati. Only five starters have gone the route in the streak starting May 17, but everybody, includ ing Rip Sewell, is eligible for relief duty when Frisch scans the dugout The Pirates' latest was a good example of the way the staff has been operating; Frisch had to toss three hurlers into the game before they pulled out a 3-2 triumph in 11 innings last night at Philadelphia. Tommy O'Brien's triple, followed by Babe Dahlgren's outfield fly, won the game for Xavier Res cigno, who came on in the 10th. Rescigno pitched Thursday and Friday, and is likely to start or relieve today. Whit Wyatt's failure to round into winning form continued to prove disastrous to Brooklyn when the ace righthander was belted off the hill before the second inning was over in Cin cinnati's 13-4 slaughter of the flatbush flock. Dixie Walker homered with a man on, but even his .438 batting average couldn't help Wyatt and his suc cessor as Bucky Walters hung up No. 8 in the win column. Mel Ott and Danny Gardella smashed homers to help the New York Giants square their series with St. Louis on a 6-4 verdict, with the help of some neat re lief hurling by Ace Adams. Bos ton and Chicago were not sched uled in the National. Boston's Red Sox flattened Chicago to sweep all three games as Tex Hughson handcuffed the White Sox with eight singles for a 3-1 edge. Bob Muncnef finally over came his New York Yankee jinx after three years and six failures as he beat the world champs for St. Louis, 11-3. The Brownies, moved back into sec? ond place, 21 games behind the Yanks on the victory. Even five Detroit errors weren't enough to overcome the five hit pitching of Johnny Cor sica as Detroit shpved Washing ton into third on a 2-1 trumph. Dick Siebert's homer sparked Philadelphia to a 94 edge over Cleveland and on two big four run innings. 261 Youngsters In Swimming Class On Opening Day Two hundred sixty - one youngsters registered for the Red Cross recreation swimming class at the KUHS swim pool Monday, according to Dave Bridge, city recreation direc tor, today.. One hundred forty-four youngsters from 10 to 12 years old, and 117 from 7 to B years old, participated in the classes under the direction of a certi fied Red Cross instructor. 2000 TEAMS " GREAT LAKES, 111..

Paavo Doesn't Want to Lose Wagner Match Paavo Katonen will exert every known wile of wrestling on George Wagner this Friday when the two are rcmatched in the armory, for Paavo doesn't want to lose this match and then be forced to put up his belt in another conflict. Such is the agreement, how ever. Paavo claimed he was "robbed" in last week's match which he lost to Wagner. Ho asked for a rematch and prom ised to put up his belt in an other struggle if he lost. Wag ner agreed; so the boys are all set for this Friday's battle. Wagner's reputation has gone up by leaps and bounds since his defeat two weeks ago of Pete Belcastro, and last week's victory over Katonen. Belcas tro is still on the "retired" list after Wagner's attention to his back muscles. The card will open with Herb Parks battling Buck Davidson, and the semi-windup match will be between Billy Konke, a Ca nadian newcomer to the local ring, and Buck Lipscomb. AMERICAN W. L. Pet.

TRUCKS FOR RENT You Drive Move Yourself Save H Long and Short Trips STILES' BEACON SERVICE Phone 8304 . 12(1 East Main Amorig the features at the Boy Scout Camporee last weekend were three competitive events based on skill in fire building and in cooking. The first event, "fire-building and water boiling" required each patrol to build a fire and bring a can of water to a boiling point so that the soap flakes in the water would foam over the top of the can. The Tiger patrol of troop 2, Alto mont, won this event. Another fire building event requiring the fire builders to build a fire suf ficiently high to burn a string at 22 inches height, was won by the Panther patrol of troop 9, Pelican Bay. The cooking event, flapjack flipping, required the Scouts to prepare two hotcakes from the dry flour stage to the finished product with due regard for pal atability as well as speed. Scouts were required to flip their flap jacks rather than to turn them with a turner. The Wolf patrol of troop 8, Altamont won the event. On Saturday evening another Scouting skill event was won by the Lion patrol of troop 44, Tule lake. This was the Scout pace race in which 200 Scouts partici pated. The object of the contest was to pace a mile in exactly 12 minutes no more, no less. A Scout from the Lion patrol crossed the finish line (unknown to him at the time) in exactly 12 minutes and no seconds. tfPORTC i ) treamliner I j By BUSS NEWLAND SAN FRANCISCO, May 30 (IP) Service men's corner!
