Wsnt Ads don't cost they psyl ExPef Gridder Proposes Exhibition Tilt Between KU Alumni, Oregon Tech Keith Coddlngton.'an old Pelican footballer himself, was talking up an Idea for a Pel aluainl-Oregon Tech exhibition football game the other nieht. honlna (hat the Quarterback club or some other organise tlon here In town might get behind the Idea and possibly develop such a game aa an annual fall attraction. It ahouldnt be too hard a matter to get up a squad of 33 to 36 plavera who In past years not too far past have performed In Pellran spangles and would like to get Into one more game before they get too old and settled. Coddinston. now married and twice a papa, has his own painting and papertianging business here In town but would be willing to take the lead In settine a team together and out for practice If someone or some organisation with promotniial aspirations will take up that end. Keith played end for one year under Buck Hammer and two years under Trank Ramsey, 1941-43. and waa a memoer ot teams inai am nothing but win. The memorable '43 team beat Medford 40-7, something that hadn't been approached for years previous and hasn't been during the years since. Some of the fellows In town who probably would Jump at the chance to play in such a game are Don and Hank Schortgen, Jack Mitchell, Nell Mayfleld, Dick Perry, Doug Clement. Oeorge Demetrakos, Bill Sari. Bob Lohrey, Bob Redkey. J. P. Foster and dose 11s ot others. Prom the bunch and even after these years. It should be easy to get a team that after a couple or three weeks ot practice and training would put up a stiff game against the Owls. Perhaps Jim Conroy. now head coach at Malln, could be persuaded to help coach the bunch or even play. - Coddlngton's idea of the game Is that It would be Just an exhibition, played on Modoc field some Saturday night when OTI has an open date and preferably early enough in the season that the Owia Wont have too much ot a Jump. It ought to draw pretty well. EVEN THE I'MPIRM HAD A "night" up at Salem. Last night that city's Western International league baseball club had aa Its guests of honor booed and browbeaten Rocky Flammla and Max Skulik, regular league umpires who have had a rough time In the circuit thla season. Skulik. who one time earlier had his tunic ripped asunder by an Irate Spokane player, waa the man of the hour. Suitable awards for arbitration efficiency auch as white canes, tin cups and police dog puppy, were awarded the officials. To make the picture complete, the proceeds of the Salem-Bremerton game went Into a charitable fund to aid the needy blind. SOME GEMS FAN HAS A "night" coming this Saturday when the players will announce their decision of who is the most rubid fan of the club this year. They're taking a vote on the matter while on the road. Several candldatea were mentioned In a dugout session before the club left town and the choice la going to be hard because the Oema ap parently have some of the most rabid baseball fans In the world. The champ, he or she. will get a variety of prises being put up by the club and players and a lot of good-natured rajoung Ui return for the privilege of having rased and lauded the Oema all season. On the entertainment side of the program. I understand Ken Jensen Is a pretty fair Irish tenor with a non-Irish name like Jensen, yet that Hub Kittle can warble Negro spirituals In deepest baritone and 8tan Oilson la good on an "Oh. how they hit me tonight" skit. THE KLAMATH PIONEERS HAVE several more baseball games to go this season, including a playoff match for the Northern California league's first place with Dunamuir Sunday, but probably will appear In 1 e 0 1 Klamath Falla no more. 040' Ths ponra and Dunsmulr finished the season tied at 10-4 last ooo week-end, so meet on neutral ground at Weed next Sunday for the e r 0 1 league pennant. After that comes a Shaughnessy playoff Involving s q I Klamath Falls, Dunsmulr. Yreka and Hilt for the league President a see cup. Weed, being out of the picture now. Is letting the Pioneers use the Weed park as home base tor the Klamath Falls club for the playoff gamea and the Pioneers are pulling out of Oema stadium here because of high rental and low attendance. 1 1 e 0 Furahashi Churns To 1500 World Mark, Seeks 400 Record LOS ANUE1.ES, Aug.
