coast.
The El Toro boys play a tough
schedule, meeting Southern
California, UCLA, St. Mary's
Pre-Flight, San Diego Naval
Training station and other strong
Quintets.
Ramsey announced that he
had some great talent to work
with and that his starting lineup
consisted of Hein of Ohio State
and Schroeder of Wisconsin at
forwards, Evans of Iowa at the
pivot slot, and Clay of Colorado
and Sigurdson of Pacific Luther
an in racoma. wash., at the
guard positions.
Big Frank should gain some
valuable coaching experience
from guiding the cage destin
ies of the El Toro hoopsters,
and we wish him a successful
season.
FOR THE RECORD
The other day we ran across
a card giving the scores of the
traditional Klamath Falls-Med-
ford football games since the an
nual contests were first inaugur
ated m 1SZ3. The '44 grid sea
son is, of course, over, but we
thought Klamath football fans
might find the score interesting
xor present or lurure reierence.
Here they are:

In a total of 22 tilts played to
date; the Black Tornado has
rolled up 428 points against 137
scored by the Pelicans. The K
men have failed to tally in 14
out of the 22 games played,
while Medford has been held
scoreless only five times.
Of the 22 battles fought, Med
ford has won 16, Klamath has
won 4 and 2 were scoreless ties.
The Pelicans racked up more
than half their points scored
against Medford in 22 years in
1942-43 when they tallied a to
tal of 72.
From where we sit, it looks
like the boys from over Med
ford way have been in the
driver's seat for a long time
in these "traditional rivalry"
irays. But there's another
year coming up, laddies, and
after all, this vear Medford
WAS the king-pin of Oregon
prep football!
After leading most of the sea
son the Browns stumbled in Sou-
tember and lost first place to the
Detroit tigers. A Detroit pen
nant seemed assured, nut the
Tigers split their last four Ramos
of the season with Washington
while the revived Browns swept
four straight from thr New York
Yankees to take the flag on the
last day.
Virtually all of the 84 sports
writers participating in the poll
mentioned the Browns' achieve
ment with 40 ranking it first.
Altogether the Browns received
141 points, 48 more than Army's
59-0 football rout of Notre Dame
at the polo grounds last month.
This at-thc-time almost unbe
lievable West Point touchdown
parade against the Irish earned
22 first place ballots and numer
ous second and third place votes
for 93 points.
far oenind in third place wun
12 points was Bob Hamilton's
feat of winning the PGA golf
championship. Hamilton, an
unknown from hvansville, Ind.
beat the famous Byron Nelson.
1 up, in the final that shocked
the pro golf world.
The. improved play of the
Philadelphia professional foot
ball Eagles: Navy's upset defeats
by North Carolina Preflight and
Georgia Tech; Ohio State's un
beaten grid team; Utah's national
basketball quintet; Lou Bou
drcau winning the American
league batting championship
and Indiana's 20-0 grid victory
over Michigan rounded the first
ten eyeliners.
Altogether a total of 40 sur
prises were listed, but only 20
received first dace ballots.
These included bam bncad s
victory in the Portland golf
tourney.

By JIMMY JORDAN

OP) Don Hutson wants to quit
piaying rootDaii. He nones to
end his active playing days after
me ail-star game in Chicago next
summer. But Hutson says so
with reservations.
I ve tried to retire for the
past three years. I intend to
retire after the all-star game, '
he told the Associated Press,
'But if the Packers need me to
defend their title next year, I'll
probably be in there playing
again.
Hutson, who holds more in
dividual records in the National
Football league than any other
player, said his retirement dc-
Dends upon new material the
club expects before the 1945 sea
son starts.
"I intend to sign a new con
tract as backfield coach of the
Packers," he said. "But any re
ports of my definite retirement
before the season starts are pre
mature.

Horvath remained at Colum-

Kerr told the collegiate stars
from 14 schools in eight states

Utah, and that twice-daily drills

Ross will twist torsos with Bull

in the meany class and the bout
will, in all probability, be a
wild affair. This opener rounds
out a classy card that features
Gorgeous George Wagner
against Ernie Piluso in the main
event and Gust Johnson tangles
with Blood and Guts Davidson
in the semi-windup.
The mat maulers have been
complaining of late that the al
titude here tires them quickly
so all bouts will now be rassled
by rounds instead of time lira-its.
The first go is four 10-minute
rounds or two out of three falls,
the second is five rounds or two
out of three tumbles, and the
main event is six 10-minute
cantos or two out of three
flops. '
Wally Moss has again been
retained by Promotor Mack Lil
lard as referee and a dinger of
card is anticipated before a
