A EIGHT HERALD AND HEWS Friday, Oct. 12, 1945 Two Klamath Backs Ready To Go UCLA Bruins Clash With Golden Bears Oregon Will Battle OSC For State Grid Honors Each Team Expected To Put Up Stiff Fight In Traditional Clash Saturday Pigskin Piekin's For This Week This will probably be the last "Midficld" vc will knock out for you and our last crack at picking the nation's grid winners, 85 Well Because of staff changes at The Herald and News we will Uvn vnu In the canable hands o Hale Scar- brough, formerly of the marine corps and now sports editor of this newspaper. We want you all to know, however, that we deeply appreciate the interest "you have shown in this column for the past year. We have en joyed writing about the various sport events in Klamath Falls and, although we will not cover any more of the games, our enthusiasm and sup port of local sports activities will not dim. Athletic events have always been of great interest to us and will continue to be so. To our mind, there are few towns in the good old II S A. that can compare with Klamath Falls in the sportsmanship of its teams, the support of HAINES its townspeople, and the spirit of the players on the teams. , . . Up at KUHS there is as fine a group of youngsters as can be found anywhere in the country. Coaches Paul Angstcad and Ed Ryan are cooperative, always ready to answer a question or ex plain a play, while Superintendent Arnold Gralapp and Principal Stanley Woodruff have always lent assistance in every way possible when needed. -j .j mv t (lioT-ri rnlinir nromotor. Matt FmniKan. Ed Bell and Prent Puckett, to name a few, have given us valuable pointers upon many occasions, and for this we are also grateful. After the Grants Pass game tonight, the Klamath Pelicans art scheduled to meet Medford'i Black Tornado at Modoc field. The Medford eleven has received enough ballyhoo in other Ore gon newspapers to make one almost believe that the Tornado is a team of super-men. Almost, but not quite. The game of football is too unpredictable, there are too many upsets, to make it in any degree a sure thing mat any team wm win a ami s'" Morifnrd will be heavily favored to whip the Pelicans. Right now you can get as high as 21 . ,1, down the main stem, vve want tnw iwamam iw ...... and we also would kind of like them to know this that we'll be at that ball game rooting them on next Friday and we urntiMn't take Medford at even monevl That's the way we feel about ath Falls teams. We'll nass over that coming to the business at hand picking games. But before we do, just this - Cadets Given Margin Over Wolverines By TED MEIER NEW YORK, Oct. 12 (VP) Un beaten Army and once-beaten Michigan clash here tomorrow in the top college football game of the day and the smart-money boys have established the West Point Cadets as 27-point favor ites. Upwards of 65,000 are expect ed to push their way into the Yankee Stadium to get their first look at the 1945 West Pointers who have piled up 86 points in their first two games while keep ing their own goal line un- : crossed. It is the Cadets' first visit to the big town since they swamped Notre Dame, 59-0; a year ago. Always a power in the West ern conference and usually at their best when they come east, the Wolverines are expected to provide the first real opposition of the season for the nation's No. 1 ranking eleven. Michigan has won three of four games, los ing only to Indiana. Last fall Michigan invaded the east and trounced Penn in an upset in Philadelphia. ff Grey Mask" Will Tussle Lipscomb Klamath mat fans will be treated to a gory show tonight .at the armory when Jack "Buck" Lipscomb tangles with the "Grey Mask" in the top tiff on . Promoter Mack Lillard's muscle merry-go-round. This is, a bout that rabid rail birds have long been waiting for and Lipscomb may unmask Mr. Stoneface for the first time in the' local ring. Whether or not the hooded hoodlum is really Cyclone Mackey of Amarillo, Tex., is still a moot question, but the wise guys on the main drag seem to think that Cyclone and the "Mask" are one and the same guy. In the semi-windup fracas An gelo Martinelli will twist torsos with Gorilla Poggi and in the opener Norval Stockstill will bop beaks with Tex Porter. lXTn 11.. n ;i . it any muss win reierce tne card , which is due to get started at 8:30 p. m.
