Newspaper Page TextI ji si !' IDP101D By HALE SCARBROUGH Webfoots Better Bill Abbey, the only Klamath Fall representative on the U of O Webfoots football team last fall, figures that he's going lo havo a rough time trying to bold on to his , , , quart crback ob this season, ; wliat wnn vet erans coming back and one thing or an other, but he will show up for fall prac tice about the first of Sep tember and try. The Web foots, he says, nuclit to be a Tvhale of a lot better this year than last and he will consider kimself fortunate if he makes ii.o 33-man traveling squad. The other Klamath boy with Oregon football aspirations. Bud dy Bichn, was out for spring practice but he will still be a freshman next semester and will probably stick with freshman football. Last fall Bill was just 17 years old and a freshman, he turned 18 late in the season, and al ternated with Bob Reynolds at the signal-calling berth. In the first collegiate football game he ever sawOregon vs. Washing ton at Seattle he played 58 min utes. , . Bill played 48 minutes against Washington State at Pullman, and saw some service, usually a good chunk of it, in every Web foot tilt His shortest duty was 17 minutes against UCLA in the Los Angeles coliseum, -r-th 50, 000 people watching, enough to give any young fellow the bucks. Bill says he had 'em plenty. Jake Leicht he calls a great player and really a swell guy to tc on a football team with. Give Take a capable line in front of him and he'll be'' virtually im possible to stop. The 27-year-old Leicht will "be the main spring of the Duck backfield again this fall. Billy has stopped worrying about being called into the army. He is classified 4-F because of the brain concussion he received in an auto wreck back in his high school days, and has been turned down individually by the army, navy and marines. That concussion, incidentally, got him into trouble again dur ing soring training and he had to get a special helmet to pro tect the right side of his head where the scars are. While he is home for the sum mer. Abbev is working at his old job t Ward's funeral home, and while he's in Eugene going to college, majoring in ohysical education and olaving football, he pay!" his way along by work ing in the Poole-Larsen mortuary there. Keeping a hand in the sports whirl, he's olayins second base for the Kniehts of Columbus sof'ball team this summer. Bill's work as quarterback for the Ducks didn't eive him much ball-carrying to do. but he did crowd in a little of all the vari ous backfield chores. He savs that he carried the ball about 20 times all season and his longest gain, 18 yards against Washing ton, was called back because of a nenalty, much to his dismay. The University's football schedule . this fall is going to carry all around the circuit, ex cept for Stanford, with tfiree games at Eugene and a meeting with the Uclans in Portland. Opening same is with College of the Pacific and the first confer ence engagement with California at Berkelev. The Oregon-OSC game will be staged at Corvallis. Just Arrived!

For :f it hadn't been for those sume Giants, the Dodgers might not be perched at the lop of the National league toduy. True, the Dodgers whipped the Chicago Cubs 41 for the sec ond straight time yesterday, but had the St. Louis Cardinals swept the three-game series with the Giants, including yester day's twin bill the Red Birds and not the Brooks would be occu nvino first nlace. instead, tne Liiams oy divining me iwu names, mc series two games to one to en able the Brooks to build up a game and a half lead over Ed die Dyer's pestiferous challen gers. After Handsome Howie Pol let, the willowy lefthander from New Orleans, had gained his 12th mound victory for the Cards with a nine-hit 2-1 tri umph, the Giants threw their southpaw freshman ace. Monte Kennedy, against the Birds, and the 21-year-old South Carolin ian clipped the Cardinals' wings with three hits Ki the Giants won 6-1. In losing, the Cubs saw their third nlace lead over Cincin nati narrow to three and a half games as the Reds eked out 1-0 decision over the Boston Braves. The clearing of the entire Pittshnrffh Pirates' bench ex cept for the regular lineup by Umpire u e o r g e niascrnurui highlighted the twin bill be tween the Bucs and Philadel phia Phillies. Magerkurth's ac tion came after the Pirates booed a third called strike on Chuck Workman. The Pirates, behind tne seven- hit pitching of Johnny Lanning, won the opener 2-1. but the Phils came back to rip Truett Sewell apart 9-2 in the night ? '.. .

Not since July 9 have San Francisco and the Oakland Acorns been sep arated at the top of the heap by more than half a game. For ex actly two weeks the Seals have labored under an Acorn threat that might have coppefl the lead in a single night. For his 20th triumph against three losses, league-leading hurl er Jansen held the Sacramento Solons to four hits, winning 7-3.

Murray of Baltimore and Perk Daniels of Chicago were summoned before the Pennsyl vania boxing commission today to answer the "unsatisfactory performance" they gave in the windup of a fight show at Civic arena last night. Murray, .who recently defeat ed Jimmy Bivens of Cleveland and is ranked fifth among the nation's heavyweights, knocked out Daniels in 2:35 of the fourth round of their scheduled 10-rounder, but a crowd of 2000 only booed and peppered the ring with gravel and cushions.

Will Journey To Aihland For Tilt The Diinsmulr Railroaders of the Northern California league, who last Sunday pulled the neatest trick of the season by toppling Weed right out of a tic for first place, will be in town to try their giant-killiiiR system against the Klamath Sons Sun day afternoon. The game will be played at Recreation ballyard, starling at 1:30. Klamath's other team, the Lowell Packers, will also be busy Sunday, having tuken on a game with the Ashland Elks to be played in Ashland. The Elks, in a tic for third spot in the Southern Oregon loop at six wins and (our losses, are notable for a deal they have pulled on the Medford Craters three times this season the last score was 5-4. Dunsmuir's 20-14 win over Weed last time out came as a surprise to the whole circuit. although the Railroaders have one of the heaviest-hitting out fits in the loop, including Miles Richmond, Dinger Fidler and Bob Reid. Richmond, in centerfield, is the class of the league's garden ers on the defense, and the wholo (earn has played error less ball in two previous losses to Klamath. Bones Coon, club manager, and Bob Reid do the mound work for the Railroaders. Clyde Carlslrom will probably get the call to toss for Klamath. Upsets Color Publinx Golf DENVER.

In a copyrighted article, the Minneapolis Star said a pence agreement between the Amcr lean and National leagues and the Pusquel brothers of Mexico would be announced "in Ilia next 30 to 60 davs." Written by Sports Editor Charles Johnson, who credited his information to a source "that has always been re liable," the article said the agreement might mean the re turn of players who left the major leagues to play In Mex ico. Pros Beef At Course CHICAGO. July 26 (rVl A disgruntled crowd of golfing hot-shots start second round play in the $50,875 all-American tournament today fully aware that the fumed Tain O'Shanter course isn't the same tailor-made strip they breezed around in former years. Herman Barron, veteran cam paigner from White Plains, N. Y begins the second 18 holes with a first round 68, four strokes under par, two strokes better than his closest rival and six under Favorite Byron Nel son, Toledo, tho defending champion. The Now Yorker, for mer western Open tilleholder, posted rounds of 35-33 for his leading score. Nelson, fuming over his start ing 74. and most of the others blamed their poor showing over the 6760 - yard tournament course to "hard greens and strategically hidden" pins. "The fellow who placed pins on the back of six of the greens does not play golf for a living," Nelson declared. "Some greens are hard as rock, others soft as grits. I can't remember when I've had six over-par holes in one round." (Nelson won last year's tourney with a 269, 19 under par). Johnnv Bulla. Chicago, who had a onc-over par 73 for his I first days work, thought the SI 0.500 first prize had some thing to do with the shaky start. Nelson, winner of four of the previous five all-American tourneys, was supported in his statement that the flags in sev eral greens were in unfair po sitions by his playing partners. Gene Sarazcn and Vic Ghezzi and scores of other players. Of ficials declined to comment.

A man can loin anything he wants. Down In Kentucky where I come from most peo plo join the Baptists and the democratic parly. If (he play ers want to join a guild, that is their own business." What about the Mexican league? "I'd like to see baseball a universal game," Chandler said. "Baseball can only be universal if every country plays the same set of rules and has the same sort of contracture! agree ments. "Those men who have jumped the draft by leaving our base ball to go to Mexico are at baseball's mcrcv here and never will be allowed to return be cause thev have hurt the coun try's welfare.
