Pelican-Axeman Scrap

Sea-Of-Mud Battle
; Modoc Field Turf Almost Floating
After Downpour; Several Injuries
Plaguing First-String Lineup
' i What's worrying Coach Paul Angstcad most right now before
Mhe Pelicans' game with the Eugene Axemen is not whether his
boys aro bettor football players than the Eugene boys but whether
they're better swimmers, and from the looks of Modoc field
after the past couple of nights' deluge, he may have a point
there.
The field is so wet the turf is practically floating. There s no
drainago at all, except water runs off the higher ground in the

Prep Squads
Facing Easy
Weekend
,' Hood River-Comas Match
Is Toughest On Card
For District Leaders
By A. 3. BURNS
Associated Press Staff Writer
Oregon's prep gridiron race
goes into the home stretch to
morrow with only one title as
pirant facing a rugged tilt and
the rest concentrating on Tor
nado trouble. , ,
Nine of the ten squads ranked
as top title contenders will take
on easy opponents offering little
.. threat to laurel hopes. The stiff
,: contest goes to unbeaten, untied
t Hood River, which entertains
jCamas, Wash., in a tilt which
may indicate where the district
I 1 crown is going.
f Camas 1 is - the ' only squad
which has beaten the other dis
w trict 1 powerhouse, The Dalles.
,;if Hood River emerges on top,
bets will be down on the
-.Dragons to defeat ' The Dalles
-next weekend and take the dis
trict title.
The Dalles will host a com
iCparatively stiff eleven, Central
-Catholic of Portland, but should
corne out ahead. In three other
ections, perfect-record contend,
'rers are expected to stay that
Xway: Medford, which hosts
iBend; McMinville, which goes
Ho Newberg; and Grant of Port
land, . against Franklin of Port
Cland. The tangled title contest of
district 3's southern division de
iveloped a few more knots today.
"Lebanon, which was booted out
jof title talk on a typographical
,error (one of its early games was
-reported 0-0 instead of 26-0), put
!?in astrongsbid for the laurels.
iThe Warriors have lost only one
sgame an out-of -district tilt with
Roseburg and play more dis
Jtrict contests than any other
contender.
e Simultaneously, the puzzle of
-whether schools voting .for the
wtitlists will count only district
victories rose up to threaten
JSCorvallis. The Spartans have a
-lone defeat, which was out of
district, but they play only lour
district games: less than Leb
ilanon or the little perfect-record
-.elevens: Woodburn and Cottage
rGrove. ; . ,
ii All four face easy opponents
t -tomorrow: Woodburn going to
jChemawa; Cottage Grove enter
ctaining University high; Leb
anon hosting Albany; Corvallis
Jrentertaining Redmond. .
m With a general easy weekend
Hn prospect, title-hopers were
Jcrinkling brows over a way to
..halt a hurricane that will face
Mhe title winners. For Medford's
"Black Tornado, a once-in-a-yquarter-century
eleven which
-has blasted everything in sight
for two years, gives no sign of
"stopping until it grasps a second
i. straight state crown.

It's doubtful whether th
field will b in any decent
shape by tomorrow night al
though 36-houx cessation of
leiniall would hlp. so you'll
probably gat to a mud bat
tle along with your football.
Practices this week are- being
held on the narrow strip behind
the south bleachers to keep
from ripping up the playing turf
before game time, and the lads
aren't getting too much good out
of their close-quarter scrimmag
ing. The Pels are still beset with
annoying injuries to the first
string. Thurman won't start be
cause of a bad knee, Barker's
leg, hurt at Grants Pass, rules
him out, although his doctor
says he may be' able to go
against Bend next week, Nelson
has been sick and out of school
all week and Gourley is nursing
a hand one of the Eureka boys
trod upon last week.
Redkey will start the Axemen
tilt and probably be spelled by
Mocabee or Devore.
Right now the starting line
up has Pop and Salby on the
flanks. F o u t and Reed at
tackles, Wirth and Eastman at
guard spots. . Vanderhof f at
center, Coleman at quarter.
Sari at left half. Redkey at
right half and Edwards at full.
: Angstead has high hopes that
our guys will take this one, say
ing that, despite the mud and
sloppy weather, the boys have
looked more aggressive and
spirited than at any time since
before the Grants Pass encoun
ter. A large - number of reserved
seat tickets are available at the
chamber of commerce office on
Main street, and non-reserved
and bleacher ducats will go on
sale at the gate at 7 o'clock be

Surviving rapid-fire casualties
by way of discharge, including

basketball squad has begun daily
practice and present indications
are that the leathernecks will
be short on altitude but long on
speed and aggressiveness.
While no first-string quint
can be selected this early,
a combination of Banner, Var

Meath ran hog-wild through
other groupings of th 20-man
squad in praciic Tuesday and
Wednesday.
Bruce Benner, a ' slim six
footer with two years at Indiana
and a year of cage with the
Kansas City Oilers, looks very
good at right guard. Teamed
with him in the back court is
Eddie Meath, holdover from last
year's marine five.
Last season Eddie consistently
sparked the leathernecks with
set shots from just outside the
key and timely fast-break shots
from close under the basket.
In the pivot spot is 8' 3"

Elk Huniing
Season Begins
This Saturday
- The opening day for the elk
season in Oregon' this year is
Saturday, November 3, as listed
in the official synopsis of hunt
ing regulations published by the
Oregon state game commission.

In the area east of the Cas
cade range and in eastern Lane
county the season extends until
November 25. The bag limit is
one bull elk having antlers ex
cept that in southeastern Oregon

fied portions of Clatsop, Tilla
mook, Columbia, Coos . and
Douglas counties will be open,
the season extending to Novem
ber 18. The bag limit in this
area is one bull elk with forked
horns or better.
Complete descriptions of the'
open areas and regulations per
taining to elk hunting are in
cluded in the hunting synopsis,
copies of which are available at
all license agencies as are the
elk tags that are required in ad
dition to the regular hunting li
censes. The resident elk tag
costs $5 and non-resident elk
tags $25.

is not without procodont, and In
tho past few years Klamath has
gotten all the best of it.
In 1936 we took the Axemen,
22-0. Then camo a lapse of three
years with no meeting, and In
1940 tho Pels enmo out on top
32 to 0, Next year the same
story, but not qulto so bad, 13-0.
In 1942 tho Axemen scored once
on tho 'Pels and tho filial count
was 34-6.
Than In 1943, the last gt-to-gthr,
th result was a scorls
tie. In five games w scorad 101
points, averaging 20 par gam,
and the Axeman tallied only
twice ior 12 points, making thair
average ligur out about one
ninth of vura.
Twenty points would lok
very good on Klamuth's side of
the scoreboard tomorrow night.

Conn Blasts
Tunney As
'Playboy Admiral'
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1 VP)
Billy Conn, angry that Navy
Lieut. Cmdr. Gene Tunney as
serted his June title bout with
Joe Louis would be a "flop,
said the former world heavy
weight champion was - talking
like a "playboy admiral," the
Philadelphia Record reported to
day. Conn told the Record In a
telephone interview from Pitts
burgh that Tunncy's charge was
"ridiculous." Tunney had stated
that if the Conn-Louis fight is
held it "will be drastically in
jurious to boxing" because neith
er man had fought in over three
years except in exhibition bouts.
The Record jsaid "Conn's
countcrthrust was unprintable,"
but quoted theNiallcngcr: ,
"It's lucky tho fellows in the
army weren't like him (Tunney).
Ho thought the war could be
won by doing pushups."
Tunney, in condemning the
fight, said the Pittsburgh boxer
recently discharged from serv
ice "has not been a teetotaler."
"That shows you how ridicu
lous Tunney is, Conn was quot
ed in the Record. "I take a little
drink now and then. I don't
smoke or chew. But Tunney has
said if Louis smoked for six
weeks he himself could beat him
in his present condition.
"That's a joke. Joe could
smoke a whole tobacco factory
and still lick Tunney without
any trouble."

On Coming Fight
With Billy Conn
OAKLAND, Calif., Nov. 1 (IP)
Plain citizen Joe Loui;, erst
while technical sergeant in the
army and a handy man to have
around in case of a "beef," said
today: (1) he'll have to knock
out Billy Conn to win their bout
for the world's heavyweight
championship next summer.
(2) Baseball did itself a serv
ice through the signing of Jackie
Robinson, negro star, by the
Brooklyn farm club at Montreal.
(3) Golf is fun.
Louis, king of - the heavy
weights, had this to say about
Conn:
"I knew I was behind on
points going into the 13th round
the first time I fought him. May
be my handlers thought I wasn't
but I saw a lot of Billy's gloves
and I knew best. I expect him to
out-box mc again. That man, he's
fast, mister. But I'll beat him
and the only way I can do it is
cool him. When? Soon as I can."
