Raise The Ante
The latest we hear on the
fnnthnll coach dilemma at Klanv
ath Union high school is that
Klamath is
prccisel y
where it was
several weeks
ago, except
' that most of
the prospects
teen then
aren't pros
pects any long
er. The job is
being given a
wide berth, ap
parently. When Al
Simpson decid
ed that Salem
was the place for him, the school
board still had another string
on its fiddle Joe Houston, pre
war mentor at Bend.
Houston is back from the navy
and has hooked on with Roose
velt in Portland. He was down
here, . looked over the plant,
talked with officials and was
made an offer to think over.
That was during the time the
Al Simpson iron was in the fire.
Well, the Simpson deal fell
through, so Houston was con
tacted again. Now all is not
roses wife him either. Joe feels
that his services in Klamath
Falls would be worth $3900 a
year, and he's probably right,
but that figure represents a num
ber of American iron men more
than the salary offered" by the
school board.
In a town like Klamath, where
a good football team is the
unanimous desire, $3900 a year
is not too much to pay for a
coach. Not in times like these.
The persons who watch the
purse strings are going to find
that out.
It leads us to wonder how
much money football brings into
the high school
You don't hire anybody these
days for what you could hire
them ten years ago, and you
sure don t hire a loot ball coach
with a college education and
future to look at for marbles.
High school coaching is a career
now, not experience enabling
the mentor to possibly hook on
with a college at some later
date.
If you want quality you've got
to pay for it, m anything.
Just as a tip to the school
board, Hank Nelson, who was
co-coach with Houston at Bend
in 1941, is back from the army
and is at Bend now. Maybe he
hasn't, tied the knot for next
year.
But the ante is going to have
to oe raised.
In casual conversation you can
find plenty of people in this
town wno wanted frame Ram
sey to have the job instead of a
runaround, and there is little
doubt Frank .would have given
us a team to shout about.
As one ex-serviceman to an
other, we can easily realize the
thoughts that went through
Ramsey's mind when he saw the
gates closing here and as one
ex-marine to another, we can
easily imagine Frank s vocal
comments on the affair.
Ramsey is still in Corvallis,
we hear, and has recently put a
little money into a contracting
business. He'll probably go back
to Chicago and play for the
Bears this fall.
Reedsport Has
Rough Time At
B School Meet
ARLINGTON, March 8 (iT) Four scrappy little schools will
vie tonight for final spots in the state high school "B" tourna
ment Reedsport vs. St. Paul and Echo vs. North Powder.
The Reedsport Braves, gallery favorites for the title, found
it rough going against Pleasant Hill's Hill Billies but pulled a
47-45 overtime win out of the fire yesterday. A fast St. Paul five
crushed Sacred Heart of Tillamook, 51-33, with no trouble.
Echo, district 7 champ, overcame a first-period disadvantage
to hand Rogue River a 40-27 setback. North Powder had to work
for its 36-28 victory over Odell.

KLAMATH FALLS
BUYS
PLANTATION
Two of last night's rassling
bouts ended in TKOs and if the
final bell had held off ten sec
onds more the other would have
ended the same way. Martinelli
and Al Szasz drew in the opener,
but when time was up Angelo
was in no condition to do any
more grappling.
Paavo Katonen, who has for
gotten more rassling tricks than
the majority of grapplers know,
got the only fall in the finale,
the tumble coming in the third
frame on what appeared to be
a questionably low knee jam.
Joe Lynam clutched that part
of his body near the top of his
trunks and hit the floor in agony,
but Referee Wally Moss was un
able to say whether a foul had
been committed, so the bout
went on. Paavo cannonballed
Joe a couple of times, then flop
ped on him for a press.
Katonen was awarded the
fight when Joe couldn't get to
his feet.
Bob Keneston and Earl Ma
le ne minished each other for
four rounds and a fall each be
fore the Salt Lake City tough
had to be peeled off the mat like
a porous plaster. Keneston naa
just applied his Gold Hill crab,
adding an extra wrench to Earl's
spine in retaliation for a long
series of uncouth Malone tactics.
Malone got his fall in the open
ing seconds of the third frame
with a reverse crao, tnen as tne
next frame opened Bob caught
E;-rl coming in lor tne kin,
dropkicked him to the mat and
clairroed on his soecialty.
Al Szasz in the opener proved
to be the best man Angelo Mar
tinelli has had his hands on in
a lone time, andthe tumbling
duo threw each other all over
the ring for the full three
frames.

tion tourney in district 11 goes

Joe Goes
Into Real
Training
WEST BADEN, Ind., March 8
(P) A four-year period away
from strenuous training for ring
warfare ended -today for Joe
Louis.
The world's heavyweight box
ing champion launched a 49-day
tunine up program at this vil
lage Spa in tiic first phase of his

the defense of his title against
ChaFengcr Billy Conn in New

The second phase begins May
1 at Pompton Lakes, N. J., when
he starts his boxing drills.
Louis, arriving tired with his
party of four after a 287 mile
drive from Chicago, found tho
signs of spring everywhere.
Buds were swelling on trees, fat
robins chirped and flowers were
poKing tneir nuacis up iruin tne
rapidly drying soil. The tem
perature hit 64 yesterday.
This stimulating spring ad
vance was refreshing to Louis,
discharged last October after
serving three years and nine
months in the army. He ap
peared eager to net started.
Louis, who will be 32 years
old on May 13, weighs 220
pounds, 13 above his fighting

excess by walking and jogging
over the hilly countryside for an
hour each morning, engage in
