SIX HERALD AND MEWS Frld.y. Sipt. 11. 1943 K-Men Badly Outweighed; Show Speed In Practice ' Bill Sari Definitely Out Of Game; Klamath May Stress Passing Attack By PAUL HAINES When the fledgling Klamath Pelicans try their wings against the Grant Generals tonight at 8 o'clock on Modoc field in the opening grid game of the season, they are going to have to give away plenty of weight. 1 The Klamath forward wall will average 168 pounds ot kickoff time while the Crant line averages 177 pounds per man a difference of nine pounds per player. Outweighed The backfield situation is even worse with the Generals outweighing the Pelicans 22 pounds per man! The four Klam ath backs slated to start the game tip the scales at an aver age of 147 pounds and the Grant backs weigh on average of 169. , There is no use in beating around the bush in an attempt Cards Drop Cubs, 2-0; Tigers Lose By JACK HAND Associated Press Sports Writer ' Detroit may back into the American league pennant by matching Washington loss for loss but the St. Louis Caidinals are taking care that Chicago will have to win U e National iehgue flag the hard way. Harry (the Cat) : Brecheen played with Charlie Grimm's dancing Bruins last night, shut ting them out with only six hits, 2-0, for the Caidinals' 15th vic tory in 20 starts - against the Cubs. Cards in Running Relegated to the scrap heap of also rans after Hank Borowy turned them back in 10 innings Wednesday, the Red Birds again are only two games behind Chi cago with eight to go. Two more with the leaders are slated next Tuesday and Wednesday after the Cards entertain Cin cinnati twice while Chicago is at home to Pittsburgh for a three-game set. St. Louis' three night games at Sportsman's Park produced three keen pitching duels. Brecheen's decision - over Ray (Pop) Prim was most important to Billy Southworth's tattered crew which would have been virtually eliminated, four games behind, if they hadn't won. Marion Stars Despite Brecheen's fancy southpawing, it took sensational double play engineered by Marty (Mr. Shortstop) Marion in the ninth inning to make it stick. Brecheen, the league leading pitcher, now has won his last six straight, allowing only a total of 29 hits in the six outings. He has gone the route 11 times in his last 12 starts.; Phil Cavarretta, Chicago's candidate for the league batting title, slammed his first hit of the series, a double in the ninth, while his average shrank to .350, only one point ahead of Boston's Tommy Holmes. ----- Both National league contend ers are idle today with the only action a twi-night doubleheader between Philadelphia and Brooklyn which dropped a 3-2 game to Boston yesterday. Nats Blow Chance Washington missed a chance to go into a virtual tie for the lead and Detroit blew an oppor tunity to take a commanding lead when the two pennant scrappers dropped respective 6-1 decisions to New York and Cleveland. As a result Steve ONeill's Bengals retained their one-game advantage. Allie Reynolds tossed the In dians to a 6-1 edge over the des perate Tigers just when it looked as if Detroit was going to squeeze through with a 1-0 ver dict for Al Benton. The Tribe flattened the ex-sailor and con tinued on Dizzy Trout and George Caster for six runs in ' the eighth inning, shortly before a terrific downpour halted play for 42 minutes. With Washington running out of games to play they have only four more counting today's finale with the Yanks the odds favor Detroit although they don t plav again until Saturday and Sunday when St. Louis in vades Briggs Stadium for two single tilts. In all the Tigers have six to go. U.

K-Men Will Win If the K-men outcharge the rival eleven, however, they will win irrespective of Grant's weight margin. This often hap pens in such cases tne lighter team gets the jump on the op position by starting sooner, driving harder, and keeps the other outfit off balance. Be that as it may, Klamath Falls grid fans will get their first glimpse of the Pelicans to night under Coaches Paul Ang stead and Ed Ryan. Enthusiasm is rampant and a capacity crowd is expected to be on hand when the two elevens take the field. The Klamath squad held its last pre-game drill last night under the arcs and it looked as if the Pelicans would be hard to stop in any league. Decked out in their colorful game uniforms of crimson and white, they ran through a snappy workout, stressing a po tent passing attack with Leroy Coleman doing the chucking from the quarterback position. Show Speed They showed speed galore in charging up and down the green turf of Modoc field with Tommy Edwards at fullback. Bob Red key at left halfback, and Her bert Barker and Bob Mocabee alternating at the right halfback berth. The forward wall was com posed of .Chuck Thurman and Dee Nelson at ends, Richard Fdust and Bob Thompson at tackles, Harold Wirth and Bob Eastman at guards, and Roger Vanderhoff at center. Bill Sari, who was slated to hold down a regular tackle assignment, will definitely not start tonight's game, although he may see a few minutes of action. It was a severe blow to Klamath's hopes when Sari suffered a recurrence of an old knee injury that kept nun on the sidelines last year. Klamath Will Score The impregnability of the Pel ican line will be a vital factor in tonight's tussle. If it can hurl back the attack of the Grant eleven, the Klamath offense will take care of the scoring depart ment. The Generals will also have a new mentor in Jim . Mush Torson when the fine rivalry between the two schools is re sumed for the sixth time on the gridiron. Great - sportsmanship has always been an outstanding teature of these previous titanic struggles and the same will hold true tonight. Coach Angstead said last eve ning that, "they'll know they've been in a ball game. We'll give 'em everything we have." That's all anyone can ask. Espidoodit Captures $700 Elks Club Race SPOKANE.

The boys will flip a coin to decide which bout precedes the other and Tex Porter will ref eree the show. Rough Rufus will be out to subdue Dusette with his savage head butts but will be wary of Dusette's crushing full-Nelson.
