EIGHT HERALD AMD NEWS Seturdey. Oct. 8, 1845 6 mx mum Edwards, Redliey Spark (Men To Thrilling Klamath Counters In Second; Third Quarters To Avenge Last Year's Tie By PAUL HAINES The twinkling feet of Tommy Edwards ond the jarring tackling and driving offensive work of Bob Redkey evened a score of a year's standing lost night at Modoc field when the Klamath Pelicans nipped the Ashland Crirzlies 13 to 6 to avenge an unwarranted tie ball game between the two elevens last year. The Pelicans countered in the second and third quarters and the Grizzlies struck pay-dirt in the final period on a five yard pass from Harry Kannasto to Ed Beare. ' - Thrilling Battle It was a thrilling battle all the way with either team a threat on any part of the field. The game was actually more one-sided than the score indicates as the Pelicans piled up a total of 279 yards from scrimmage against Ashland's 117. The Klamath eleven accounted, for 14 first downs while holding the Grizzlies to eight. ; Coach John Roberts and his Ashland squad have nothing to be ashamed of, however, as the Grizzlies were very much in the ball game from the starting whistle to the final gun. After a see-saw first quarter, the Pelicans exploded all over Modoc field with Bob Red-f key setting off the charge. In the early stages of the second stanza Herbert Barker boomed over right guard for 18 yards and a first down on the Ashland 45. Edwards skirted left end for three yards and on the next play Redkey crashed over guard, shook off at least three potential tackicrs, and scamp ered 42 yards for the first score of the game. '- Gallant Gallop ' On his gallant touchdown gal lop, Redkey was staggered sev eral times but managed to hold his feet and cross the Ashland goal line. Leroy Coleman's dropkick for the extra point was wide. The Pelicans immediately em barked upon another drive, with Barker, Edwards and Redkey carrying the mail, that carried them to a first down on the Ash land five-yard stripe. -. Aided by a five-yard penalty on Klamath, the Grizzlies made a determined goal-line stand and halted the Pelican thrust on their five. Sustained Drire The " second Klamath tally came midway through the third quarter on a sustained march that started on their own 41. Six plays netted-the Pelicans two first downs and moved the ball to the Ashland 35. Coleman whipped an aerial to Chuck Thurman good for 13 yards and another first down on the 22. Edwards scampered around left end to the 12 and then sprinted to the Ashland one-foot line. On the next play, Coleman punched over center for a touch down on a quarterback sneak and added the extra point with a perfect dropkick to make the score 13 to 0. 1 The Grizzlies took full advan tage of a break in the fourth period to score their only touch down after Leonard Williams recovered Ray Craig's fumble on the Klamath 29. Craig had advanced the ball all the way from the Pelican 15-yard line when the fumble occurred. The Grizzlies roared to a first down on the 19. Two forward passes gained only one yard, but on the third attempt Wil liams plunked the pill in Mitch ell's outstretched arms on the three-yard line. ., Grizxlies Score ' Redkey spilled Williams for a two-yard loss but the Grizzlies had scented blood and scored on the next play when Kannasto flipped a pass to Beare in the flat without a Klamath defen der within shouting distance. This play ended the scoring as Peterson's placekick was par tially blocked. In the final stages of the fourth canto, Edwards reeled off the most spectacular run of the entire game when he re ceived Beare's punt on the Klamath 35 and weaved his way back 45 thrill-packed yards to the Ashland 20 while 4000 fans screamed encouragement. The gun sounded three plays later with the ball resting on the Ashland 15-yard line and the Pelicans on the march once again. Edwards, Redkey Outstanding : Edwards and Redkey were unquestionably the outstanding players on the field last night. Hedkey's defensive work was superlative as he was in the Ashland backfleld more than the Ashland backs themselves. He tackled with a savagery that was surpassed only by his driving, twisting 42-yard touch down canter. Edwards ran around and through the Ashland eleven with a display of sheer speed seldom equalled on Modoc field and never, not once during the whole game, did the first Griz zly tackier that had a shot at When in Brookings .

His change of pace was beautiful as rival tacklers grabbed thin air. Harold Wirth, Bob Eastman and Bill Sari turned in great performances in the Klamath forward wall, while Jandreau and Williams, fleet Ashland backs, showed up well for the Grizzlies.

Oct. 6 lP) If ever a world series was packed with sentiment, this 1945 cham pionship affair, last of a war time era of patched-up lineups and aging competitors, gets the brass ring. Jolly "Cholly" Grimm, uni versally admired keeper of the Cubs, keynoted the clambake with his announcement that Ray prim, 3H-year-old native of 5a litpa. Ala., would unload his southpaw slants, cultivated of necessity wnen an accidental burn left his right hand without gripping power, against the De troit Tigers' "old men" in to day's important fourth game. "Hell of a Job" "Prim has done a hell of a job for this ball club all sum mer," Grimm said with all the appropriate gestures. "tics nearly 40 years old and bustin' to pitch his first world series ball game, so he'll get the chance. If ever a guy earned a starting pitching job in the series Ray has. He's our man to keep this Detroit outfit down and he can do it." On the other side of the field Detroit's beloved Manager Steve O'Neill, sentimental Irishman that he is, had a heart full of situations paralleling Grimm's sincere interest in his steady Cub lefthander. Chuck Hostetler, spare out fielder the Tigers snatched out of a factory two years ago to add depth to a garden depicted by the war, literally begged O'Neill for a chance to get his name in a world series box score before he retires again from the game he's played for more than zu summers. Hostel ler, now 40 years old, drew two opportunities as a pinch-hitter. Hubbv Walker, up with the Tieers for the third time since breaking in as a Bengal wua Brother Gerald 14 years ago, also was used in a pinch role and 32-year-old Jim Tobin, knuckle bailer whose best pitching days definitely are behind him, saw three innings of relief duty".

SERIES NOTES By JERRY LISKA CHICAGO, Oct. 8 OP With the Chicago Cubs taking up in the world series where, the St. Louis Cardinals left off last year, a terrific ticket demand today greeted the windy city phase of the fall classic. Choice box seats at Wrigley Field are said to be bringing scalpers as much as $200 a seat, and long-apportioned ' re served grandstand seats are at tracting upwards of $75. Owner P. K. Wrigley of the Bruins patiently explains that a city of 3,600,000 people can't be jammed into ,his neat North Side park which bulges at the seams with 44,000 fans, but the partisans with the long green won't give up trying. As the battle scene changed, the experts were firmly con vinced that the Bruins would repeat the Cardinals' convinc ing National league triumph of 1944. Like the Red Bird con tingent of Marty Marion, et al., the Cubs have amazed Ameri can league die-hards with their fielding dexterity. By contrast, the Tigers seem slower afoot than the St. Louis Browns, who lost to the Card inals in six games. "After watchine those Cubs in action, especially Andy Pafko and Phil Cavarretta, ' ventured one writer, "the Tigers look like they're running with snow shoes on." yu Vate fa SHIRLEY MAIN Tulelake's Choice for Queen OF THE MERRILL POTATO FESTIVAL I ' f ' ( .jsm0M- . . ft.

Mustangs Edge Out 'Cats 7-0 Wildcats Threaten Several Timet But Never Chalk Up Scare; Grants Past Next By WESLEY ROBINSON (KUHS Krater) Defeated for the third con secutive time, the KUHS Wild cats lost to Malln's Mustangs Fri day by a narrow 7-0 miirgin in a game scheduled on practically a moment's notice. This tilt was not originally scheduled on the Wildcats' list of grid contests. Malin Scores Malin chalked up Its only score in the first quarter on a line plunge from the Wildcats' four. Their conversion, also In the form of a line plunge, was successfully completed, and put the "Cats In the hole right from the start. From there, It proved to be an even battle with neither side getting bast the other's five yard line. Malin, however, wns once able to roach Klamath's six after completing a long pass. The Wildcuts threatened sev eral times throughout the Mulin tilt, but never were able to make it over the goal line. One pass from the 'Cats 45, put Klamath on the 15, but they wcro held there for downs. Klamath was not outweighed by the opposition for the first time this year and the Wildcats had a slight weight advantage over the Mustangs. Malin was playing on its own h o in o grounds, however. The ball laid almost where It had started, on the 50, when the final gun ended the contest with Klamath In possession of the ball. Wildcats Improved Wildcat football, nevertheless, seems to be improving, and by the end of the season the team should be foirly well versed In the game. The 'Cats use the T formation typo of play. Bonanza was to meet Klam ath October 3, but that game was cancelled. Also, Henley, instead of Malin was scheduled to be the Tabbies target Octo ber 5 when this too was changed. Grants Pass will travel here for the next game October 10.

Using second and third-string-ers almost exclusively, the spucdy Bruins rolled up eight touchdowns, thrco of them In tho first quarter, and probably would huve tallied many more If Cuuch Burt La Brucliorie had elected to use regular backs Cnl Rossi and Skip Rowland. Rossi's relief, Ken Solid, scored two touchdowns, while Don Nelson, one of' Rowland's understudies, swept 64 yards for the longest scoring jaunt. Bruin backs averaged eight yards per scrimmage curry, ... Tho undermanned Tigers, who had only 22 players In uniform, threatened only once whon they marched to the Bruin six-yard line in tho first quarter, but were quickly repulsed, The Bruins, rolling up an amazing total of 601 yards, running and passing, made 20 first downs to five for Pacific. A crowd of 15,000 watched UCLA hang up Its second win in three starts. Ted Norbert Paces Suds To 3-2 Win SEATTLE. Oct. 6 lP) The booming bat of big Ted Norbert. who led tho Pacific Coast league home run parado this season with 23 circuit clouts, gave the Seattle Rainlers a 3-2 victory over the San Francisco Seals In the opening game of the Gover nor's Cup playoff finals hero last night. Norbert, Rainier left fielder, crashed out a round-trlppcr with the bases empty In tho eighth Inning to break a 2-2 deadlock between the two clubs. Manager Lefty O'Doul of the Seals will send his aco right hander, Bob Joyce (31-11) to the mound tonight in an effort to even the scries. Joyce will be opposed by Farmer Hal Turpln (18-8), veteran hurler who left his Oregon ranch after the sea son was underway to Join the Rainicrs. The Bay City club, cup win ners for the last two years, scored In the second and third Innings to take an early 2-0 lead. Both runs were made off 40-ycar-old Carl Fischer, but the first was unearned. Fischer was lifted in tho seventh for Keith Frazlcr after giving up four hits. Frazlcr received credit for the win. The Rainicrs drove Frank Seward from the mound in the seventh when they knotted the count on Bob Flnlcy's triple, Johnny GUI's double and Hal Patchett's single. Floyd Ehrman, San Francisco relief chuckcr, retired the side without further damage, but the stage was set for Norbcrt's game winning poke over the left field wall in tho following Inning. mm Golfdom's "Big Four11 Trail In Tacoma Open By JACK HEWINS FIRCREST GOLF CLUB, Ta coma, Wush., Oct, 6 (!')
