Newspaper Page TextI. ,vij PACE EICHT First Class Gear Bought For Pelicans Ployer's Wardrobe For Football Has Latest Grid Styles Klamath high's gridiron squads will be sartorlally elegant tills fall. At least that fact can be deter mined now. Just how efficient they'll be on the field la another matter that will have to wait until along about the middle of Sep tember for an answer. A complete line of Improved and new gear has been purchased and It waiting for the whistle toot that start fall practice. The Pelicans. No. 1 high school squad, will be especially well equipped, though little of the new equipment will be readily visible to the spectator unless he happens to drop over to the locker rooms. One thing that wlU catch his eye will be the new helmets. They're the type used by Army last year and made fashionable by Blanchard and Davis. They're painted white with a red stripe down the center, made of plastle and offer considerably more pro tection to the wearer's skull than the old type, a Tirtue which nramDled the purchase. ' New hip-pads, shoulder-pads and harness type rib-pads, all in the most modern gridiron style, make up the remainder of the new Feu can wearing appareL All used equipment. Including the maroon uniforms wrecked last season in the Eugene mudfest. have been sent to Los Angeles for renovation. Ed Ryan, the coach, says that it will be possible for every man on the Pelican squad to step out onto the field in brand new togs. Other squads, the Jayvees, Wild cats and Freshmen, will be rigged out In used uniforms, but will have new, conventional type headgear. The coaches haven't been over looked either, and will be outfitted with parkas. Inscribed with the owner's name on front. On the back will be a design drawn by Bob Mahoney, artistic member of the squad, and the same design will be placed on the team's warm up parkas. Equipment will be issued to all quads except the Frosb the morning of Aurust 27, and Ryan . la expectinr a big class of can didates for the first 33 -man team. This year, for the first tuna, a junior varsity team of footballers will be formed, operat ing on the same basis as did the basketball juniors last winter a training group for the Pelican team. Another Modoc field Innovation will be a two-way telephone, press box to bench. The phones were purchased from army surplus. The telephonic spotting system was first used by the Chicago profes sional Bears and Is now used by most college teams and some high school outfits. The press box af fords a much better view of the action on the field than does the bench along the sidelines. Early Pelican practice sessions will lay stress on blocking, as evi denced by the purchase of 24 ordinary - type blocking dummies and a "Jack In the box" rubber dummy which bounces back up right after being knocked down. Another new item on' the field will be a Crowler blocking machine for linemen, believed to be the only one In the state. PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE W. L. Pet.

ARMORY BATTLE ROYAL ENDS IN TEAM AFFRAY A wild time was had by ail particularly the six grapplers and the referee last light at the ar mory as wrestling again took its place on the sports docket here. The card-starting battle royal went off as scheduled, but the re mainder of the evening was Im promptu because Jack Carter, mak ing his ring debut here, was the first man tossed in the royal and was Injured so that he couldn't re turn for further work. Pete Belcastro gave the Austra lian a rough Introduction to the surfboard. Jack Kiser was second out, downed under a pileup, and the remaining four huskies pitched a gang fight before Tex Hager opened a cut on Stocky Kneilson's forehead and nailed him with a leaping head scissors. Then Belcastro and Hager made short work of Davidson. With Carter out of the show. Kiser was defaulted the first bout and a no-time-limit tag match was decided upon between Buck David son and Stocky Kneilson on one side. Belcastro and Hager on the other. The melee lasted 20 minutes be fore the first fall was accomplished. Kneilson slugged and pressed Bel castro, taking Referee Wallv Moss Into the mill with them. Wally lost his undershirt and had his trousers' leg ripped from here to there In the scuffle. Kneilson really took a beating for the second fall and the wound on his head was opened again by Belcastro. It took five minutes of slugging by both Pete and Tex Ha ger before the Tennessean was down over in his opponents' corner. Reserve Ducats Passing Fast Reserved seat tickets for Tuesday night's fistic card, being sold at Matt Finnigan's sporting goods store, are passing fast and probably the largest crowd ever to Jam into the armory is expected to witness the card. Feature attraction will be the 10 round return match between Jack 'Ginger) Snapp of Merrill and Emery Jackson, recent conqueror of Snapp. Four other bouts will be on the card. The entire section C of the ar mory has been bought up and re served for fight fans from Merrill, insuring many of them of a chance to be at ringside when the home town lad faces his toughest test.
