Fifty Candidates Turn
Out For First Session
Coach Angstead Will Use T-Formation;
Four Regulars Return From '44 Squad
By PAUL HAINES
About 50 prospective Pelicans answered the call to the
'Red-ond-White colors of Klamath Union high school Friday
afternoon at Modoc field and were issued uniforms and given
physical examinations in preparation for the coming grid
Reason.
, Sizing the boys up without the benefit of a scale, it ap
peared obvious that Coach Paul Angstead and Assistant
Coach Ed Ryan would field another light eleven this season.
,The boys were carefree in the locker room, but underneath
there seemed to lie a deadly earnestness that bodes ill for
rivals of the Red-and-White in the ensuing months when
King Football will once again reign supreme over the entire
;nation.
Perhaps they were remembering that humiliating 33 to 0
'shellacking they took last year at the hands of the Grant
'Generals who went on the march at the opening whistle and
Jwere never halted until they had amassed 33 points.
Chance For Revenge
i ' On the evening of September 21 at Modoc field, some of
ilast year's regulars will have a golden opportunity to erase
"that defeat and avenge them-
selves upon the strong Portland
eleven.
; Chuck Thurman, Harold Wirth,
R o(er Vanderhotf, Jim Pope
,'and Scott Reed, to name a few,
have bitter recollections of that
-night when the unleashed power
!',of the Generals stormed and
took the Klamath goal line five
times.
After that debacle in the open
ing came, the Pelicans came
back like champions to run wild
over a favored Salem eleven,
18 to 0.
Roberts Fiasco
Coach John Roberts acting in
the guise of referee, enabled an
inferior Ashland team to gain a
12 to 12 tie with the K-men and
in the fourth game of the season
KUHS trampled Grants Pass,
12 to 0.
The roaring Black Tornado of
Medford overwhelmed the small
but scrappy Pelicans, who put
up a terrific battle against odds
before going down, 21 to 0.
Eureka kicked the dope bucket
higher than the Empire State
building by giving the Klamath
ites a lesson in deception and
winning the ball game, 19-6.
The Pelicans closed the season
in a blaze of glory by thumping
the Bend Lava Bears to the
tune of 13 to 6, to wind up the
1944 season with three wins,
three losses, and one deadlock.
T-Foimation
Coach Angstead plans on us
ing the model-T formation alto
gether this year and will be
searching for a key-man to nan
die the oval when the Pelicans
stream out onto Modoc field and
settle into the full swing of prac
tice.
The onenins session was held
this morning with the workout
involving wind sprints, block
ing and tackling practice, and
conditioning exercises.
Sari Candidate
Bill Sari, who would have
probably handled a line assign
ment last year if he had not
suffered an injury early in the
season, was in uniform along
with four Pelican regulars from
last year who were Thurman,
Vanderhoff and Wirth in the
forward wall and Bob Redkey
in the backfield.
Pelican reserves who are
seeking berths are Scott Reed,
Jim Pope, Jim Palmer, Ben De
Vore, Earl Hannen and Tommy
Cdwaras.
Some of last year's Wildcat
squad who have a definite
chance to come through are Bob
Mocabee, Ray Craig, Allen Eck,
Fred Gerbino, Bob Eastman,
Gene Yarnell and Leroy Cole
man, Coach Angstead doesn't have
much to say. It's "too early to
tell." The team will be light,
but a football eleven isn't nec-

The Beavers, rudely set down
12-4 last night by San Diego's
Padres as Righthander Carl
Dumler registered his 20th win
of the season, still boosted their
lead over the runner-up Seattle
Rainiers half a notch to three
games.
The pacesetters scored their
percentage gain because the
Rainiers obligingly dropped a
doubleheader to the Sacramento
Solons 15-2 and 10-7.
Dumler, third pitcher in the
loop to break into the 20-game
win figures, had an easy time
beating the Beavers, limiting
them to eight hits one of which
was a seventh-inning home run
by Ted Gulhe with Manager
Marv Owen aboard. The Padres

When the Yankees sold Hank
Borowy to Chicago they suppos
edly kissed off their 194S flag
hopes but here it is September 1
and the New Yorkers are only
four games out of first place,
steaming down the stretch like
another squadron of the famous

Before the ticket scalpers start

that five teams are in the run

Ernie Bonham and Al Gettel

night in a twi-night doublehead

Lipscomb Battles To Draw
With Dusette; Keeps Crown
By PAUL HAINES
The crowd roared, stamped,
whistled, booed, and cheered lust
night, turning the armory nroiin
into a madhouse with it's pan
demonium, as Jack Lipscomb
successfully defended his Junior
heavyweight mat belt by bat
tling to a draw with Georges
Dusette, the challenger.
Not in many, many months
have rassllng fans seen a match
to equal the titanic battle of the
giants the two gladiators put on
last night as Lipscomb staved
off Dusette's fifth round bid for
a fall and held him to a draw
when ho lost the final canto to
the French-Canadian strongman.
Jack lived up to expectations
from the start of the fracas to
the conclusion, fighting a rip
ping, tearing, gouging fight that
had Dusette in trouble a good
share of the time. Each boy
hurled his opponent from the
ring at least twice and the huge
c.owd was In a frenzy when Jack
took the first fall of the tiff In
the third heat with a toe hold
after working viciously on Du
sette s leg.
This was merely the lull be
fore the storm, however, as the
fans virtually went insane in
the f ourth and fifth rounds when
Georges gave back blow for
blow. The tussle reached its
wild climsx In the final round
with Dusette and Lipscomb sav
agely kneeing each other in the
throat until Georges at last
seized an opportunity and slap
ped a full-Nelson on his rival to
take the fall that evened the
count.
Jack stilt reigns as junior
heavyweight king today, but he
knew he had been to the wars
after Dusette's gallant effort to
regain the crown.
