for the extra point on a quarter
back sneak, the first conversion
of the season for the K-men, to
make the score, 13-0.
Bend was down, but not out,
and in the final frame, Ferguson,
speedy right half, broke loose
and ran SO yards through a bro
ken' field for the lone Bend tal
ly. Bergstrall's attempted place
ment was low and wide.
More than 2000 fans saw the
Pelicans win their final game to
give them an even break for the
season under Coach Marble
Cook.
The Play the Pelicans found
most effective was the old Klam
ath dodge of the "quarterback
handing the ball to the fullback
as he ploughed through the-mid-dle
of the line. Time and again
Buddy Biehn received the ball
from Bob Perkins and drove
through for - substantial gains,
The -razzle-dazzle employed by
the; K-men throughout most- of
the season was out .of the ques
tion, due to the slippery ball and
the morass of the field.
The game was fundamentally!
a netensive battle and both ele
vens showed outstanding defen
sive line play. The Lava Bears
came through with a fine goal
line stand m the first period
after Mason had recovered
Wirtz' fumble of a punt on the
Bend seven. Four times the
Pelican backs hurled themselves
at the Bend forward wall and,
although they carried the oval to
within inches of the Lava Bear
goal line, they couldn't punch it
across. . A five-yard penalty on
the K-men aided the. visitors at
this point but their- indomitable
stand is deserving of praise,
nevertheless.".
Lammers and Ferguson, the
two Bend speed mcrchants,-.were
handicapped by. the muddy, field
and slippery footing,' but no more
'so than the. Pelican UaKs'.,'.
Thev Klamath eleven: dominat
ed the ground play throughout
the contest while the Lava Bears
had a slight advantage through
the air. Wirtz. Bend ' quarter
back, connected with several
passes for sizable gains while the
Pelicans took to the air very lit
tle, relying on drives straight
through -the line for their yard
age. . . . j
The game was a dinger from
start to finish, wet field and all,
and the triumph for Klamath
Union high school was an earned
one.
The Pelicans threatened again
in the final stage of the game
but a fumble nullified the drive
and the tilt ended with Biehn in
tercepting a pass by Wirtz on the
Klamath 45:- .
Buddy Biehn, wearing the
colors of his school for the last
time on the gridiron, turned in
an outstanding performance
from the fullback slot. Bud car
ried the ball 21 times, more than
all of the Bend backs put togeth
er, and averaged more than
three yards per attempt. He
also intercepted two passes, the
first putting an .end to a Bend
threat.
Bob Perkins, also playing his
last football game for Klamath
Union high school, played a fine
ball game and Abbey and Berry
were in there pitching, too, .
- The '.whole-. Pelican forward
wall showed up the best it has
thfs season'and'the Berid backs
were unable to gain any appreci
able distance through this stal
wart opposition. Mason, Wilson
and Long really turned on the
heat .in this one and, all in all, it
was a great day for the Pelicans
and Coach Marble Cook,

Return Tilt
Cancelled
Skymoitem Fail to Apptar
Due to Takeoff Accident;
Intro-Squad Gam Played
The return grid battle between
the Klamath marines and the
Fairfield - S u i s u n Skymaaters,
scheduled for Sunday afternoon
on Modoc field, was cancelled
because of a takeoff accident at
Vallejo, Calif. It was under
stood here that a wing was shear
ed off the plane the Skymnslers
were planning on using for the
trip, but no one was injured as
far as is known,
Due to this regrettable acci
dent, an intra-squad game was
played instead of the anticipated
fray between the two service ele
vens. This turned out to be a
very creditable ball game, how
ever, with the Reds taking the
measure of the Whites by a 23-6
count.
The Reds drew first blood In
the initial frame when Bancer
tossed a pass to Jack Walters
good for 35 yards and it touch
down, Bancer's pass to Darnell
for the extra point was no good
and the Red eleven went into a
6 0 lead.
The White team came slashing
back with Mahan intercepting
Bancer's pass on his own 40 and
galloping to the Red 45 before
he was nailed.
Currie on a reverse from La
Paglia knifed through for 12
yards and a first down on the
Red 33. Currie again nicked ud
yardage on a reverse to the 19
and LaPaglia blasted his way to
the Red 1.1. LaPaella drove to
the one-foot mark and bulled his
way over the goal line on the
next play to tie up the ball
game. Currie's placeklck for the
extra point was blocked.
The Reds chalked up another
marker In the second canto with
Hughes doing the running and
passing. The shifty tailback set
up the second Red touchdown
with a 30-yard gallop to the
White 10-yard stripe. Fadgen
and Hughes battered their way
to the five and on fourth down
Hughes flipped a short pass to
tnapin xor a toucnciown wnicn
gave the Reds a lead they never
relinquished. Hughes shot a
pass to Darnell for the extra
point, making the score, 13-6, as
me iirsi-nau ended.
In the third period, a pass in'
terception by Jack Walters
paved the way for the third Red
tally, as he carried the oval to
the White 20 before he was
downed. Hughes then heaved a
Eass to Darnell, who made a
eautiful one-hand stab of the
Dan, and went to the White five.
A penalty for interference with
the pass receiver on- the White
eleven put the ball one yard
from the goal line and Fadgen
lanced over from there for the
Bend recovered, ending the
threat.
Wirtz faded back and tossed 'a
pass but Biehn again intercepted
on the Klamath 45 as the gun
sounded the end of the game and
the season.

Referee, "Mask" Combine
Too Much for Belcastro
Amid jeers; boos and catcalls
from, excited rassllng fans, Ref
eree Tex Porter and the "Grey
Mask" proved to be a combina
tion too tough for Pete Belcastro
to beat in the main event Friday
night at the armory.
Porter did, without a doubt,
one of the most miserable jobs
of refereeing seen in many a
moon. With the count at a fall
apiece, Porter inserted himself
between the two torso-twisters
so much that Belcastro in des
peration, heaved him out of the
ring to the great approval of the
fans. Unhampered by Porter's
pacifist tactics Pete really settled
down to work on the hooded
heel but, unfortunately, Tex was
able to climb back in the square
and pounded Belcastro, who only
wanted to be left alone, on the
back until his advantage was lost
and the "Mask" immediately
utilized this break to employ a
series of head butts and take the
final tumble and match with a
cannonball.
Belcastro would, In all prob
ability,, have been given the nod
over the manned mauier u ii
had not been for this unwarrant
ed interference on the part of
the third man in the ring, and it
certainly might have been a i
different fairy tale it wauy
Moss had been handling the
body-benders.
Pete made good his boast and
repeatedly made the "Mask"
take a Brodie to escape further
punishment, but the old case of
two brothers and a stranger was
too great an advantage for the
Weed assassin to overcome. The
colorful Bulldog Jackson entered
into the friendly spirit of the
affair by tripping up the "Mask"
and stomping on his toes from
his vantage point outside the
square. ,
The hooded heel took the ....
itial flop with a series of head
butts that all but ko'd Pete, fol
lowed by a half-crab. Pete came
back to garner the second fall
with a series of clavicle smashes
that felled his unpopular op
ponent and followed up with
body press. Then came the dawn
in the person of Brother Porter
and that was that.
Crafty Ernie Piluso outfoxed
"Blood-and-Guts" Davidson to
take the seml-windup. After
each grappler had gained a tum
ble, and Ernie's leg was weak
ened by . repeated stepover toe
holds by "Blood-and-Guts,"
Piluso merely patted him on the
back while in the midst of one
of these excrutiating "holts" and
when Davidson blandly arose
thinking he had received the
duke for the bout, Ernie prompt
ly plastered him with a round of
shoulder butts and took the go
with a body press. "Blood-and-Guts"
howled and yowled over
the one good decision Porter
made all night to no avail.
In the prelude Bulldog Jack
son and toughy Earl Malone
crunched craniums to a draw.

for the conversion was Incom
plete, putting the Reds out in
front, 10-8.
Just to keep the record straight
and score in every quarter, the
Reds accounted for one more
touchdown in the last lap. After
the fighting Rods had taken the
ball over on downs around mid
field, Hughes (tided buck and let
an aerial go to Albrltton in the
clem- thai was good for 43 yards
and the final counter of the tilt
and brought the score to 25 6.
A crowd of 1500 shivering

witness the contest Unit, In all
probability, will be the lust of
the season for the Leathernecks.
The marine squad and Coach
Clyde Roberts deserve warm
praise Tor their fine efforts

mediocre teams and Duke, got
themselves a bit of everlasting
fame Saturday by crushing
Notre Dame, the people's grid
Iron choice for a quarter of a
century by 39 to 0. It was the
worst defeat ever suffered by
the Irish.
The contest added rvon more
glamour to the Army-Navy con
teM, scheduled for the secrecy
of Annapolis on December 2.
Navy, laden possibly over
laden with stars, got off to a
bad start this fall but Saturday
polished off Cornell, 48 to 0,
for Its third straight victory.
