The Marine Barracks coach was busy today looking for more games for his squad, which has a lot of promising material and is already working out. Klamath football fans are look ing to the Marine Barracks team to help break up a football lull which will occur here early in the season because the Klamath high school schedule will take the Pelicans'away from home most of the weekends in that period. .The Pelicans will be at Salem on September 29, the day before the Willamette - Marine game. Only one Pelican game is slated on the home field in the first six weeks of school here. That is the Grant game September 22. Indicative of local support for the Marine Barracks team as well as the Pelicans, the Quart erback club directors have voted to enlarge the club's interests this year to include the marines. High school officials have indi cated a cooperative spirit and, it is expected, the marine games ca,n be arranged conveniently for Modoc field without interfering wjth the high school schedule. :"I've heard a lot about the football spirit in Klamath Falls," said Major Roberts today. "I know you fill your grandstands for the high school games, and we hope we can also attract good crowds to the marine games. Willamette Only College Football Team in Oregon SALEM. Ore..
