PACE EIGHT Marines Play final Tilt Sunday Leathernecks to Be At Full Strength For Return Battle With Fairfield-Suisun Team In the last game of the sea ion on Sunday, November 12, the fans of the marine gridiron team will have an opportunity to see the Leathernecks and the Fairfield-Suisun air base tangle in what promises to be as thrilling a struggle as their last encounter in Vallejo, Calif. The Marines defeated the Sky masters in that game, 14 to 12. The kickoff for Sunday's game is scheduled for 2 p. m. The Skymasters' team is built around two top backs, both of whom are triple threats, Elmon Sasse, 190-pound flash, and Monk Myers, former Xavior star. These two men have two capable pass receivers in Wade and Dansby. It was these boys who scored the two touchdowns against the Marines in their last game. Wade on a long pass from Sasse, and Dansby on a 88-yard run after a pass inter ception. The Marines will go into the game at full strength and Coach Roberts is confident that his eleven will measure up to their previous victory. Dravin and Darnell will most likely be Roberts' choice to start at ends. Dravin is the most consistent pass receiver and will probably team with Bancer, ace halfback, to provide the mar gin of victory. At tackles will be Fiorc and Taylor, at guards, Byrne and O'Connor, and center, Golden, rounding out the Marines' prob able starting forward wall. All the Marine backfield men are in top shape. Mahan has been bothered with a bad wrist and foot in the last two tilts, but has fully recovered and will be ready to aid Bancer with the tailback chores. La Paglia, who is the Marines' most consistent ground-gaining back, and Fad gen can go in top form at full. Currie and Albritton will alter nate at blocking back, and Jack Walters will probably open the game at right half. Fairfield-Suisun is noted for its spectacular plays and Coach Roberts has warned his men to be on the lookout for a game opening long pass or some other unorthodox play. A capacity crowd is expected IU ,IIW for reserved seats are on sale at the chamber ot commerce omce Arizonian Hurt Riding Bronco In Boston Rodeo BOSTON, Nov. 10 () Jimmy Schumacher, . 24, of Phoenix, Ariz., suffered two broken ribs and a cut chest last night when thrown from his mount under the hooves of a wild Brahma bull.

Nov. 10 (tP) , Many oi uregon s nign scnuui football elevens will piay iram tional Armistice Day contests Saturday, but a Friday night struggle to determine a district champion, and a state playoff entrant overshadows all tne rest. Grant's Generals, defending Oregon kingpins with a 194 record of seven victories and no defeais, go against Roosevelt's Teddies in Multnomah stadium for Portland s district 4 diaae-iii. Roosevelt, with six wins, no losses and one deadlock, musi whip the Jerry Lillie T-Boys to gain the title. A Grant con quest, or a tie, will give the Generals the flag. District 2's elite Medford's Black Tornado and Coquille's Red Devils, both with six straight victories should have little trouble with tneir Saturday op position. Medford goes to Asn land and Coquille to Myrtle Point. They, alone, are in the running for the area champion ship. Six clubs still battling for the district 3 crown will see action. Eugene, unbeaten in the section, plays at Salem (4-4) Friday night: Columbia Prep, with a perfect record, travels to faeaside Friday; Gresham (6-0) entertains Esta- cada Friday, Lebanon (6-0) plays at University High of Eugene Friday night, Vernonia (6-0)' hosts Rainier Friday, and Cot tage urove (4-0) entertains Springfield Friday. Newberg, unstopped in six starts, has an open date. Over in district 1, where La Grande has already cinched the title, the Tigers move to Baker for a Saturday tilt. La Grande has won eight in eight starts, Baker three in the same number. Other games: Friday: The Dalles at Hood River, Oregon City at Milwaukic, Toledo at Newport and, in Port land, Jefferson at Commerce, Franklin at Benson and Wash ington at Lincoln.

New Hockey Player Signs With Eagles PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 10 (VP) Buster Zobrosky, young British Columbia defense man, was signed today by the Portland Eagles of the Pacific Coast Hockey league and will join the club in lime for the game against the league-leading Seat tle Ironmen here Sunday night. Coach Jimmy Ward simultane ously announced that Ken Bar ker, Vancouver B. C, defense man supposedly en route here to join the Eagles, had instead signed with the Ironmen. Army Hits Notre Dame Saturday By HAROLD CLAASEN WEST POINT, N. Y., Nov. 10 (iP) The shock-troop system, an idea that helped Knute Rockne to the gridiron heights, comes back to haunt the Irish in tomorrow's annual clash with army in New York City's Yan kee stadium. Lt. Col. Earl Blaik, head coach of the all-winning Cadets, said today he would continue his two-team plan and that the upper classmen's varsity with Doug Kenna at quarterback would start against the Irish. In the second quarter an e:;ire new team, mostly plcbes, will take the field. This aggregation has Capt. Tom Lombardo at quarter, Felix (Doc) Blanchard at full back, Glenn Davis as one - of the halfbacks and up front has Barney Poole at one end, De witt Coulter at a tackle and Hcrschel Fusion at center. . The only changes in those plans will come if Army kicks off. Then Blanchard will toe the ball and trot to the sidelines until his plcbc mates are sent into the fray. Bobby Dodds, fullback on the upper classmen team, likely won't start because of a leg injury and his place will be taken by Dean Scnsan baugher, the ex-Ohio Stater and erstwhile right half on the plebe outfit. . ; While Blanchard, Davis and some of the other Army backs have been attracting the head lines, it is Tom Lombardo who gets the pats on the back from the Army coaches. "There is little if any differ ence between Lombardo and Kcnna in ability or general ship," said Blaik, . ."but we thought that the plcbes would steady down and be more re laxed knowing that the player DANCE LA I 61S Klamath Ave. DA NCE ; Mu!c By '.'

Technically, I suppose that Lombardo, our captain, should be in the start ing lineup but he has given up that honor to help the team in a much greater way." The Cadets leave at noon to day and will work out in Yan kee stadium at 2 p. m. The civ ilian members of Notre Dame's squad -will arrive In Gotham some time today and will spend the night at Bear Mountain, N. Y. The Irish V-12 players, whoso absence from their campus is restricted to 48 hours, won't reach New York until Saturday morning. K-Men Set For Annual Bend Battle Armistico Day Encounter Finds Many Boys Donning School Colors Last Time By PAUL HAINES On Armistice Day the Klam ath Pelicans play their tradition al tilt with the liend Lava Bears, this year on our own Modoc field. Tills is the last game ot the 1944 football season for the Pelicans and, gosh, how wo hope the kids win this one. A victory over the Bend eleven would givo Coach Marble Cook and his boys an oven break for the year and wind up the season nicely. The Lava Dears arc going to have something to say about that, however, and the two Bend speed merchants, Ferguson and Lammers. may be especially vociferous. The local lads should be able to keep them pretty well bottled up and we sure hope they do, because once in the clear these boys arc long gone. On the old comparative score basis, the Pelicans figure to be a bit better than their rivals. The two elevens have encountered three joint opuoncnts. namely Grants Pass, Salem and Medford. Bend skidded by Grants Pass, 14 9, and toppled Salem by one touchdown. 14-7. The Pelicans socked the capital city boys, 18-0, and took to the air to beat the Cavemen, 12-0. Both Bend and Klamath Falls were bowled over by the Medford Black Tornado, bend going down by a 34-14 count and the Pelicans came out on the short end of a 21-0 tally. The fact that neither Snlem or Grams Pass was able to score against the K-mcn, while they both hit paydirt against the Lava Bears, would seem to give Klam ath the edge by a whisker. Of course, Figure Filberts could ar gue that Bend tallied twice against Medford while the Peli cans were held scoreless, but we think the other over-balances this, as the local boys would cer tainly have countered against the Black Tornado if they had re ceived the semblance of a break. This ball game is going to be close, close, close with the tide liable to turn either way at any time. Both elevens will be cook in' with gas as Claude Cook mentors the Lava Bears while our Marble Cook guides the grid destiny of the Pelicans. Strictly off the record the two coaches are NOT related. The K-men have been doing plenty of scrimmaging this week and seem to have regained some of their former fire. Cook will start Bill Abbey in the right half slot In place of Bob Redkey with Bob Perkins at quarterback and Berry and' Biehn filling out the lett halt ana luiiback positions, respectively. This is the same starting backfield that opened the season against Grant and we sincerely hope that they blast a few touendown trans to tne tsena goal line. Kimsev and Thurman will again start at ends, with Mason and Long beside tnem in tne tackle spots. Guards will be Wil son and Wirth and the pivot man is Vanderhoff. According to figures gathered from the program of the Med-ford-Bend game, the Pelicans will outweigh their opponents a bit for the first time this season. Both elevens are light, however, and the weight advantage will not be of great value. The Klamath line will top the Lava Bears by about three pounds per man and the Pelican backfield will have a weight ad vantage of approximately 10 pounds per man. Both teams play a wide open type of football, relying on speed and deception rather than pow er". This makes an interesting and spectacular game to watch and a large crowd of grid fans is expected to be on hand to wit ness the annual tilt. The kick off is slated for 2 p. m. sharp. This, then, is the final game for the 1944 Klamath Union high school football team. For some, this will also be their last game as high school ball players. Havii.g gotten to know these boys a bit throughout the cur rent grid season, let us say that we have no fears for the out come of a game that will see many of them doh the Red-and-Whitc colors of their school for the last timet ?y m.mm ' urn win,- it'i By PAUL HAINES (Q Buddy Btthn will pUr his last football gam for Klamath Union high school against the Lava Burs from Bend, Armis tice Day at 2 p. m. on Modoc field.

Nov. 10 (fPl UCLA is all set to atone for the 6 to 0 defeat it suffered early in the season to the California Bears. This hasn't been what could be classified as a successful sea son out Westwood way, but a decisive victory over Coach Stub Allison's Berkeley boys tomorrow in the Coliseum would go a long way to salve the Bruin wounds. The dopesters say the Bruins should win. A quick look at the Bear lineup also indicates a win for the home club. Cali fornia has lost too many players to the service. It doesn't resem ble the squad that held the Southern California Trojans to a 6 to 6 tic here a few weeks ago. Th Klamath Marines srs all 1 Last week was one of those it to lu oil against the Fair- bii-n-it ones with thosu upsets field Sulsun Skymastsrs on Modoc field Sunday alUrnoon. A victory for the Leathtrntcks 111 bring tnsm up io nra wins, two lossas and a 11 In th suson's grid Udgtr. So fnr this season tne Marines have scored it lotal of 42 point in five games against 64 liillit'il by the opposition. Moro than half the points scored agulnsl the LcathernecKS we.ro ruuen up In the first gamo by Willamette, Simmons and Co. This organi zation trampled the boys from the barracks, 33-14, Two lngth.ol-th-llld touch down gallops war rglstrd against th Lutharnecks from within th opposition's own flv yard strips, on an vn 100 yard dash as a result of a pop up fumbla. and th other good for SB yards on a pass intor- ctptlon. Tho longest touchdown dash by the Murines was an 83-ynrd run by Albrlttim on a puss in terception against Willamette In the closing minutes of the contest. In th Individual points scored column LaPaglU luds with 12 still ringing In my ears. After Friday hail passed 1 thought 1 was right back on (he track after predicting a tie Unit came true. Let's see now, Out of ubimt 40 predictions your prognustlcu lor only dropped about seven so I'm still as happy us If 1 had guild sense. Each weak It gats liltl tougher to pick 'am, I figure out how they should end up, read seme big shot's tallies from back east, his doings don't live with mln and then I ask, 'why?' Back I go through my meagor files lo sea why the hock that character Is dlflorent. Anyway, 1'vo looked at the other imea and they say Army over Notre Diuue. Umiumni, could be. Then again, they say March Field over Washington. Again, could be. If 1 have to predict two up sets, I'll ilooil It. So with a bu.. bomb In my buzzer and proplo whispering, "Don't do it, Foster," 1 ny Nolro Dame 13, Army 7 and Washington 20, March Field 13. As for the KIsmathBend game, there s really only on followed by Mahan, Albritton, ; answer. Bend is batter than Fadgen and Dravin with 8 and Bancer and Currie with one apiece on extra point conver sions against the Skymasters at Vallejo.

For about 10 yurs I've followed Klamath teams, usually they ended th season, Pete Belcastro Gets Shot At "Grey Mask" Tonight Tonight's the night Pete Bel castro, the Weed assassin, climbs through the ropes at the armory to endeavor to give the busi ness, with a capitol B, to the savage "Grey Mask." These two torso-twisters arc carded to meet in the main event at a one-hour time limit or two out of three falls. Upon Belcastro's refusal to rasslc un der the guidance of Wally Moss, Promoter Mack Llllard has se cured the services of Tex Porter as arbitrator. City and military police will be on hand to keep the affair from getting out of control and a capacity house is expected. Pete has threatened to make the hooded heel take a Brodic to escape tho punishment he in tends to mete out, but the "Mask," as usual, was silent on the subject. The fans have been clamor ing for this match ever since yards per try and Dancer ac-1 o.k.

Oh, happy days, if ther was more room for a serious talk on that but your writer has to get back io the local high school game. There could be a miracle but lleiul gets my nod about 10 lo 6.

As for the Marines on Sun' day lt looks Ilk they'll take another on.
