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

struggle to determine a district
champion, and a state playoff
entrant overshadows all tne rest.

record of seven victories and no
defeais, go against Roosevelt's
Teddies in Multnomah stadium

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

calling their signals was the
team captain. . 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

Bruins Seek
Revenge On
Golden Bears
LOS ANGELES. 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

So fnr this season tne Marines

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

Now every other college around
the nation Is using It and every

was more room for a serious
talk on that but your writer has
to get back io the local high

There could be a miracle but

who arc good In slushing

This Is one upset I wouldn't
mind at all.
As for the Marines on Sun'

another on. If they play Ilk
they did against th Coast
