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

of pace was beautiful as rival
tacklers grabbed thin air.
Harold Wirth, Bob Eastman

performances in the Klamath
forward wall, while Jandreau

backs, showed up well for the
Grizzlies.

cans will clash with the Grants

1945 Series
Packed With
Sentiment
Ray Prim Gets First Shot
At Pitching World Series
Ball Game For Cubs Today
By FRANK KENESSON
CHICAGO. 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."

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

would huve tallied many more
If Cuuch Burt La Brucliorie had

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
