HALE SCARBHOUGH The Marines arc boning up 011 Navycat tactics and putting the finishing touches to their own plavs in a skull session today in preparation for the opening kickoff of their same with Wil- limctte's navy boys on Modoc field tomorrow afternoon. Coach Clyde C. Roberts' Leathernecks have had only three weeks of practice, and slightly more than a week of ac tual scrimmage and running plays, but a smooth-working grid machine has been developed which should give Klamath Falls fans a chance to see some high caliber football. A sell-out crowd is expected to jam Modoe fields 4200 seats to capacity by the start of the tilt at 2 o'clock. Reserve seats have been on sale at the junior cham ber of commerce and at the Bar racks for several days, and un reserved tickets may be bought at the gate. Arrangements have been made for the marines to sit -in 'the 'east TORRID TILT I stands, with high school students Here's a four-leaf clover with a ! n me oieacners at either end of horseshoe thrown in lor the rails By PAUL HAINES fellows when they take to the grid pastures tonight at the capi tnl eitv. The Red-and-Black crid- ders boast eight returning S win ners this season along with two, triumphs already tucked under their belts. The lads from Klam ath town aren't playing this tilt on past performances though, and wilUdo their darndest to out T the Viks at their own gambol ing' game. And they may do it, too, ' The marines get the nod 2-1 over the light but game Wil lamette Navycats Saturday af ternoon in their football lracas at Modoc field. The Leathernecks pack too much besf and brawn for the nimble Navycats. In their game last week with the hustling Huskies 14 of the 'Cats were injured and Coach Duke Trotter will probably feel lucky if he can produce 11 whole gridders by tilt time. Speaking of mammoth! Sgt. Samuel A. (Big Sam) Scherr of the Marine Barracks has to have his uniforms made especially by the quartermaster department 'cause he's just too big for the regulation sizes. Big Sam weighs in at a meager 245 pounds and is former heavyweight rassling king of the Faclfic fleet. It is understood the man with the bulging biceps wouldn t be ad verse to doing a little body bend ing at the armory some Friday eve. Come to thing of it, there hasn't been a biggie battle here tor quite awhile. SAILORS VS. MARINES The marine ten and the sailors from the air base will renew their rivalry when they tee off in a championship softball tilt at Recreation park Sunday at 2:30 p. m. The series stands at one game apiece with the gy- renes taking the first affair and the boys in blue capturing the second joust. This will be a battle royal between the two service clubs and may the best ten win. RUSHING SEASON The navy cagers took a nrac- tice tilt frcm the marine hoop sters by a count of 36-33 last night at the barracks. The leathernecks used 60 men while the sailor boys were limited to a mere id. Cox of the marinp "five" copped high scoring hon- uis wun it marKers. There will be another bucket battle Tuesday, again at the bar- racKs, the marine stands. Seats on the west side are either reserved or will be sold at the gate. The Baracks band, which will parade at half-time, will be seat ed in a group in the center of the east side bleachers.

Associated Press Oregon's 1944 prep grid sea son rolls into full swing to night, (Friday), spotlighted by a Portland league jamboree ex pected to break attendance rec ords. Grant high, defending state champion which steamrollered Klamath Falls in its opening tilt this year, is the favorite among the eight squads that will pair off by lot for a quar ter of play apiece. The Salem Vikings, who emerged from victories over Milwaukie and Lincoln of Port la n d as a potential pennant threat, are expected to keep their undefeated record in to night's tilt against the Klamath Pelicans. The Vikings, playing on their home field, outweigh the visitors 14 pounds per man in the line and eight pounds in the backfield. Eugene, which is running even with Salem in the no-name league, will take on University high of Eugene. The no-name league is quiet this weekend, as Milwaukie plays Prineville, Oregon City meets Beaverton, and twice-whitewashed Cor vallis vies with Springfield in non-conference Games. Albany, another no - name contestant, makes a delayed debut against Salem October 6. Astoria opens its season to night against small Naselle high; and Lebanon makes the 1944 debut against Toledo. Other contests pit Vernonia and St. Helens; Silverton and Canby; Ashland and Yreka, Calif.; For est Grove and Scappoose; Cen tral Catholic (Portland) and Hill Military (Portland). Bandon, out of the football picture for the last two years, will return to the gridiron to night at Reedsport. Three Navycats Not Recovered From Injuries SALEM. Ore., Sept. 29 (Pi Three Willamette university gridders will not be present when the Navycats entrain to night for their Saturday game with the Klamath Falls Marine Barracks. Coach Duke Trotter said Tackle Bill Blade, Guard Ken Matle and End Bill Catc had not recovered from injuries received in the 71-0 loss to Washington last week. Fifteen players on the marine squad have had collegiate grid iron experience. neck cheering section has also been formed, bringing an entire ly collegiate atmosphere to the stadium. Tomorrow's grid battle will not be M'oadeast, but the line ups and pertinent facts will be announced over a public address system at the field during the game. Both the Murines and the Bear cats use an unbalanced line, single wing-back system, which stresses inside tackle plunges, spinners and reverses. Willamet te's offense is built around Floyd Simmons, fullback, who aver aged about seven-yards a try against the tough Washington Huskies, and Don Rochon, fresh man left halfback. The Marines will probably utilize a 6-2-2-1 defensive setup, and -the team overall averages 195 pounds outweighing Wil lamette 12-pounds per man. This game marks the opening of the grid season for the marines while Willamette has already played three matches. Coach Roberts inaugurated the Marine eleven just a few weeks ago, and .practice sessions were in full swing even before a schedule had been arranged or couioment eceived. Almost every sectional colleg iate, professional or semi-pro conference in the country is rep resented on the roster, with 16 men having played college ball and another 15 with pro exper ience. The Leathernecks now have five games scheduled, four of them to be played on Modoc field. Officiating tomorrow will be Hunt Clark of Salem, referee; Al Leightener. sports editor of the Salem Statesman, head linesman; George Peters, one-time ail American at Oregon State, field judge, and Harold Shidler, um pire. Dr. George I. Wright, offi cial time keeper. Seattle Bombers To Battle Frisco Clippers Sunday SEATTLE, Sept. 29 (PI Coach Earl (Dutch) Clark today named the 24-man squad the Seattle Bombers will employ against the San Francisco Clip pers in an American Profes sional Football league game at the bay city Sunday. Walt Rohrscheib, cx-Univor-sity of Washington end, quit the squad this week, and Jack Mil lard, ex-Washington State col lege and San Diego Bomber end, still is nursing a foot in jury, so Ends Jimmy Simicich, only Bomber whose previous experience is confined to high school play, and Joe Eyrnes, erstwhile Oklahoma A. and M. and Philadelphia Eagle player, are tabbed to start. Byng Nixon, stellar "bird cage" tackle, can't make the trip because the high school team he helps coach has a game here Saturday.

' v-"'nrl Oludlo, Rain Washes Out Junior Loop; Twin Bills Today Postponements Due to Benefit Tigers As Two Hurling Aces Get Needd Rest By JACK HAND (Auociatod Pri Sports WriUr) Rain sent the "experts" hunt ing for now angles today to figure out whether Detroit, St. Louis or New York would pro fit most by postponements in the American league pennant race. The answer appeared to be Detroit. If it pours until Sunday night, the Tigers could sit homo by the fire and plan Ihcir world series strategy while the Browns, one game back, and the Yankees, three lengths out, rued lost opportunities. All clubs were scheduled for doubleheaders today after yes terday's complete washout but even another day of rain wouldn't wash any games off the calendar for keeps. The same teams play one another the rest of the season four games and could make them up with twins on both Saturday and Sunday. Steve O'Neill probably wel comed the downpour like a sharecropper in a drought as it gave him lime to rest his weary Detroit pitching stars, Dizzy Trout and Hal Ncwhousor. But Rufe Gentry, scheduled to go yesterday with only two days rest, got an extra 24 hours be fore the pair with Washington, whom the Bengals have chewed 15 times in 18 starts. "Stubby" Overmire pitches the other. Both Luke Scwell and Joe McCarthy had their hurling de partments in order for their final crucial scries. Ncls Pot ter, the ace of -the Browns staff with five wins in a row and 18 for the year, and Jack Kra mer go today. Bob Muncrief and Denny Galehousc or Sig Jakucki follow up in the singles Saturday and Sunday, for St. Louis. Hank Borowy and Ernie Bon ham were on the Yankee list to tackle St. Louis today, with Marsc Joe insisting his boys still were in the race. Although two Detroit victories or two New York defeats would put the mathematical eliminator on the champs, they could pull to within a game of the lead by taking a pair today ... if Wash ington knocked . off Detroit twice. In the east, the pennant-win-nine St. Louis Cardinals were polishing off some unfinished ! business with the Giants and getting lined up for Wednes day's opener in Sportsman's park. Billy Southworth took Stun Musliil, Walker Cooper. Ray Sanders and Marty Marion out for n rest and only used Johnny llopp in the lust of the ninth yesterday as Rookie Blix Donelly blitzed New York, 2-0, with five hits. Ray Mueller set n new mtijor league record by catching his 132nd game in Cincinnati's 10 6 romp over Brooklyn. Loo Durocher learned before come time he had been named to boss the Dodgers in 19-13 but his Joy was short lived as the Reds scored nine runs In the fourth. Other National leaguers were not scheduled. Fronkie Hayes of the A's can also pass out Roy Schalk's old catching record, tipping his total to 152 by catching both games in Cleveland.

Veteran Tom Seats distributed seven hits during tho game as he held the Angels scoreless while the Seals hammered out 10 safe ties, San Francisco's attack was sparked by Bill Enos. who doubled in the first Inning and tripled In the seventh.

The Mask has yet to lose a fall since he started Jogging around the northwest mat route. The masked meanic put the blocks to Paavo Katonen Tues day night nt Salem by out-butting the Foxy Finn. In fact, after a vicious exchange of head butts the ex-coast champ couldn't wobble back for the second heat. The unknown terror was equally effective against Kizcr, Ihe Van couver Viking, in Portland Mon dny.
