Army Eleven Increases
Standing in Grid Poll
Notre Dame Skids to Fifth Position;
Ohio State Civilians Pursue Cadets
By HAROLD CLAASSEN
NEW YORK, Nov. 7
Army increased its standing as
the country's No. 1 collegiate
team in today's Associated Press
poll while Notre Dame, the cadet
opponent lor Saturday, skidded
all the way to fifth following its
32 to 13 loss to Navy.
Ohio State's beardless civilians
NEW YORK, Nov. 7 (IP)
There's a football team in Poca
tello, Idaho, that rates a cheer
if they never win another game
all season . . . It's called the
Pocatello Marine Devildogs"
and is composed of 20-odd ma
rines from a guard detachment
and a few sailors from the naval
ordnance plant with a coach,
Corp. Ken Dolan, borrowed from
an army air base . . . These few
marines comprise nearly half the
detachment and everyone is a
combat veteran recuperating
from wounds and jungle diseases
incurred overseas . . . They lost
their first two games because
there weren't enough reserves
and the men weren't well enough
to play a full game . , . Then
they turned on the Great Falls,
Mont., air base team and won
though they were outweighed 25
pounds per man . . . Those guys
must really like to play foot
ball. ' TODAY'S GUEST STAR

BENEFIT DANCE
Merrill Community Hall
Saturday Eve., November 11, 1944
Sponsored by Merrill and Klamath Falls Meote Ledges
Music by Marine Orchestra
Entire Proceeds to U.S.O.
have taken up the task of pur
suing Army in the opinion of the
106 football experts who voted.
The Cadets, who have collected
360 points In their six games,
garnered 58 first place votes
and 974 tallies in the balloting.
The Buckeyes, undisputed
leaders in the rugged Big Ten
race, came next with 18 selec
tions as the best team and an
aggr.eg.ate of 812 points. Notre
Dame, erstwhile leader until de
posed by Army a week ago, was
without a single first place vote
but collected 430 points in the
voting. .
Navy shot from sixth a week
ago to third this time, a move
that kept Randolph field in
fourth place despite Its 68 to 0
conquest of North Texas Aggies.
The lower half of the top ten
underwent a huge shakeup with
a Bainbridge naval and the
Fourth air force barging in at
the expense of Georgia Tech,
spilled by Duke, and North Caro
lina Pre-Flight, Bainbridge's
victim Sunday.
The Maryland sailors were
sixth, followed by Iowa Pre
Flight, Michigan, the March
Field Fliers and Illinois in that
order. Georgia Tech slumped
to thirteenth and the Cloud
busters didn't stop their tumble
until hitting sixteenth. ,
Army's two-week grasp on first
place will be at stake in Satur
day's fray at Yankee stadium in
the annual clash with Notre
Dame. The Irish have never
lost to both service schools in
the same season. Army, early
favorite, has not scored on the
South Bend Ramblers since
1938.
Michigan and Illinois also put
their elite listing in jeopardy in
their clash at Ann Arbor. Ohio
State shouldn't have too tough
a time against Pittsburgh and
Randolph Field collides with
Maxwell Field.
Southern California placed
eleventh in the national listings.

NEW YOK, Nov. 7 MP) New

It is exnected thai the final

the proceeds of which will be

A total .of 4,307,743 persons
turned out during the 180 days.

to the nickel; the odd cents are
retained and split on a 60-40
basis by New York state and
tracks) was $3,073,793.11.
In keeping with these amaz
ing figures is the amount de
rived by the state from the mu
tuel! $25,183,990.86, represent
ing six per cent of the wagering
and 60 per cent of the breakage.
The tracks' share was $16,789,

TALKING IT OVER
Local Quertorbnckors got to
gether Monday noon at the
Willard for an intoreitlng grid
discussion. Mot many mom
bert were present a we would
like to have, but the old stand
bys were there and that's what
counts.
Major Clyde Roberts stinted
the football rolling by saying
that he thought the marines
played a good game Suturdiiy
afternoon nguiiiat the Coast
Guard Pilots. Huberts went on
to say that he didn't know how
Tuiincll, negro speed merchant
for the Pilola, wuuld have done
on a dry field but one caught the
Impression that the major was
mighty glad it was wet!
Another thing that Roberts
mentioned was that the Fair
ileldSultun Skymasters er
roneously informed the Pilots
that the Leathernecks were
the dirtiest football aggrega
tion they had tackled all sea
son. This it understandable,
as the marine knocked the
Skymasters over at Vallejo,
Calif., and by all indications
they are still fuming fie at the
boys from the barracks. From
what we have ben able to gath
er, the Skymasters are about
the biggest bunch oi sob-sisters
on the coast.
The coast guard lads reported
after the tilt Saturday that the
marine eleven was the cleanest
playing outfit they had run up
against to date. The Fairficld
Sulsun bclly-achcrs will play a
return engagement with the ma
rines, Sunday, November 12, at 2
p. m., on Modoc field, and it is
sincerely hoped that the boys
from the barracks send them
back to Vallejo with something
to bclly-acho about!
PFC John Glannonl It quar
terback and coach for the Sky
matters and hat two start in
front of hit name on the Fair-field-Suitun
rotter. Jutt think,
two bright ttart. We aren't
ture what Uiey indicate but we
have hopet that they will be
drastically dimmed Sunday
afternoon. One mutt give
credit where credit it due,
however, and Giannoni it a
fine ball player and we are In
formed he was an all-Amerl
can end for St.' Mary's not to
long ago.
Roberts expects, and rightly
so, the Skymasters to be loaded
for bear when they head Klam
ath Falls way and the tilt may
turn out to be a donnybrook.
Marble Cook took the floor
and reported thai the forth.

coming tilt between Bend and
Klamath Fallt on Armistice
Day would be one of those
garnet you read about but sel
dom tee.
For one thing, tho two toiiins
arc of Just about equal weight
and this fact is n novelty for both
elevens, as they huvo both been
overwhelmingly outweighed all
season.
Marblo further stated that
the Pelicans were roully going
to have to be on their toot in
order to triumph over the
Lava Beart. .
He scouted the Medford
Bend fray and came back
with a very healthy respect tor
the Bend eleven. In Lammert
and Ferguson, the Lava Beart
have two ot the fattest half
backs the Pelicant have soon
all teaton. They are both
light, but laddlet. thoy are

state football league that is coin
ing under milto a bit of discus

The circuit would Include
Klamath Falls, Salem, Eugene,
Medford, Albany, Bend and
Corvallit with Mllwaukla and
Roteburg'also possibilities, No
action hat been taken on thit
matter, at yet, but It seems to
ut a darn oood Idea.
To wind up the session, Paul
Angstcad. Wildcat coach, said a
few words on behalf of his boys.
Paul stated that he was mighty
proud of the 'Cats this season
and, as far as that's concerned,
we are, too.
These boyt have displayed
some swell football thit year
and thote who have not teen
them play have missed teeing
a really good football team.
The Wildcats go on the old at
sumption that, "the blggef
they are, the harder they
fall," and they make it ttick,
too.
The 'Cats will take on Henley.
Friday afternoon on Henley
field, In what should be a rough-and-ready
contest. Henley beat
the local lads, 6-0, in a practice
tilt early in the season, and rode
merrily over Lakevlew to the
tune of 48-2, last Friday after
noon. The 'Cuts spent tho week
tromplng both Merrill and Tulc
lake, so there it is.
The next session ol the
Quarterback club will be the
last of the teaton and a fine at
tendance it desired. All Quar
terbackert that can attend are
urged to do to and to bring a
friend along. Let's make the
latt one the biggest one, to
