PACI TWILVI HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON MONDAY. NOV. 21. 1M r,G0 fa e W (Ml I CM) sraiS ea IUW i Post Mortems HIRD t a im Pridav night that I ' think will be the 1948 state football champion. I'm speaking, of course, of the . 1 Grande Tigers, conquerors of tht Pels by a Jl-0 count. Before going further, my predic tion U this. The Twer will win over Marthfleld handily in the aeml-flnals and Grant will beat HllUboro. I pick I Grande over Grant In the Multnomah finals. Traveling the length of the state to see the Pelicans lake a lop-sided blanking wasn't fun. But watch ing La Grande' Wayne Berry run made up for It. - Berry la the best running back I've seen ail year. I dont say the best all- ' around back but In the scooting department. I havent seen his equal. That takes In Medford's Jack Morris, Ashland's Jerry Laager, Grants Pass" Vera Craft, our own Gene Carlson or any of them. It seems that the Tigers had walked ever opponents hi eight straight wine with inch esae that not even La Grande ssjpperters knew the ealibre ef the Tiger tease. , Tiger fans were as amaaed as these watching the fortunes ef the reUeaaa. It's true that the Pels had ter rific slump. As Bob Hendershott put It during post mortems on the game In the hotel lobby, "Our boys were doing everything wrong and La Grande everything right." Amazingly enough, the Pelicans topped the La Grande passing at tack (with the exception of one , touchdown aerial) but Berry, Charles Brackett and Bill West were : slashing the strong Pelican line to shreds and skirting ends with ap parent ease. Berry was the kind of athlete who comes along onoe in a decade to spark a high school team. He's completely relaxed when he runs but drives with force. Even after being tackled his three er four yards. His defensive Work was alse eotstanding. The Pelicans, after a slow start this am inn, started sat wpswa against Medford. reaches the peek Grants Pass, and tbea te bit the downhill trend. They hit low against La Grande, I couldn't believe that the Red- suid-White team I saw Friday night Iras the same team that fooled the experts by clouting through to district title. Gene Carlson made the mistake of taking the opening kickoff be hind the goal line instead of letting it go. He ran it to the seven and three plays later fumbled to set up the first Tiger score. La Grande took full advantage of this break and the Pelicans could never seem to get in gear again. If there was any stickout back for the Pelicans at all It was Joe Nichols but he had no support. Joe reeled of tone run of 35 yards and only a shoestring effort by Quarterback Trans Haun kept Joe from going ail the way. The rest Friday night reminded BenderihoU ef 1D48 when the Pel icans tiaieled to Eugene and were whitewashed, M-8. . I see ae trouble for the Tigers gainst ManhfMd and If they can stay high and stop George Shawl .. aerials, I see a La Grande victory ver the Generals. The ground attack of the Gen erals (at least against the Pelicans in the opening game here) doesn't compare with the workmanship of . the Tiger backs. Frans Haun is a clever play-caller and was mixing plays against , Klamath like an expert. VEECK SELLS INDIANS CLEVELAND, Nov. 31 (P) Dyn amic Bill Veeck sold the Cleveland Indians baseball club to a group of local business men today for a re ported 12.200,000.

Saturdays victory was comparatively easy. Moro't ball carriers never got a real attack launched against the stout Malin line. The Mustangs set something of a local record for holding onto tne following the Initial kickoff. Driving on the ground from their own 21. the Maun crew had pos session of the ball steadily for seven minutes and JS seconds up until the tune Ted DeMerritt spun over left guard for the first touchdown. The payoff play was five yards. DeMerritt plunged for the con version, first of four he msde that wsy. In the second period DeMerritt again broke away, this time over his right guard at the Moro ST. He sloped off to the left and outran the Husky defenders into the end aone. WALKED THROUGH For that conversion he merely had to walk through over right guard, the hole opened up by Guard Charles Dobry and Tackle Dick Hawkins was that expansive. During the first half Mora's Wily Knighten and Norval Lane were held in their own territory exclus ively and were forced to punt out twice. The third time Moro had possession In the half the Huskies lost on a fumble. In the third period Moro drove 52 yards down to the Malin 20, before losing the ball on downs. A pass from Knighten to Fred Von Bostel accounted for 20 yards of the drive and Knighten picked up the rest on the ground. But the Mustangs did a little bet ter. They drove from their 20 all the way in 10 plays. A pass from DeMerritt to Dick Draxil put the ball on the Moro 3 and Jerry Smal ler skipped around left end to score. DRIVE DEEP Taking the next kickoff, Moro drove from their 30 down to the Malin 13, their deepest penetration of the game, and. lost the ball on downs again. A few minutes later Malin gained some 20 yards on an exchange of punts and took possession on the Moro 45. Smalley picked up tire ytrds and DeMerritt bulled and hurdled through to the 2 on a run that was nulified by a penalty. But on the next play Ottoman rifled a 40-yard pass to Micka back to the Moro 2 and Leu Weber skirted end to score. Statistics heavily favored the Mustangs 34 total yards to 1S3 and IS first downs to 8. The Mustangs completed five of eight passes for 107 yards, and had M yards taken away on penalties. Moro lost five that way. About 2000 persons almost solidly Malin rooters saw the game. College Grid Scores Washington 34, Washington Bute 21. California 33, Stanford 14. Oregon State 20, Oregon 10.

Nov. 21 1 BUI Young, who sparked the Hillsdale (Mich.) team to an unbeaten, un tied season. Is the new leader of the country's college grid scorers. Perseverance paid oft for the hard-hitting halfback. After weeks of attempting to overhaul the pace making Brad Rowland, halfback for McMurry college of Abilene. Tex.

One weeks ago, his margin was 1L Now, with the shouting and shov ing over for both players, Rowland trails the Hillsdale hearty by 13. While Young la resting on his laurels, there's a chance that George Thomas, the Big Seven leader from Oklahoma, might spurt to the top come Saturday. The Sooner wind up their regular sea son against. Oklahoma A&M that day and if Thomas can match his 18-polnt performance of the past week-end, he'll pass Young. The Big Seven ace has 105 points now. That total gave Thomas a new scoring record tor the conference, eclipsing the 97 made in 1942 by Missouri's Bob Steuber. OCE Racks Up Ninth MONMOUTH.

Rose Bowl-Bound Than 1948 Team Bears Rated Stronger That Lost to Wildcats By BUSS NZWLAND SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 21 () Coast conference football saluted California as its champion and Rose Bowl representative today. Jubilant California supporters, meanwhile, continued to celebrate the Bears 33-14 victory Saturday over Stanford, the game that put them into the country's post season classic at Pasadena for the second time in succession. The formal notification from the conference commissioner's office was expected momentarily. Califor nia earned the bid by seven league wins and neither defeat nor tie. This California squad Is regarded as stronger than last year's which Inst to Northwestern. 20-14, in the Rose Bowl. Its line charges ha.der and the backfleld Is more explosive. The team has the material to come up with the long gainers necessary to break up a contest. It was the consensus out this wsy today that Ohio State, expected to represent the Big Ten as the other half of the Rose Bowl clash Janu ary 2, would have to show more than it did last Saturday. The Buckeyes tied Michigan 7-7. Earlier In the season Ohio State played a 13-13 deadlock with Southern Cali fornia, the latter subsequently beat en by California 18-10. Since it won from USC, however, California has shown increasing Im provement. It may be one of the hardest hitting teams in the coun try today. Nineteen seniors will be lost from the squad. They Include such four-year men aa Rod Franz, All-America guard, and Jim Turner, giant tackle. Genial Lynn "Pappy" Waldorf was being boomed today for "coach of the year" honors out here.

Rose Bowl invitation, the con ference schedule was being conclud ed on other fronts also. Washington, after earlier defeats and disappointments, finished up In fine fashion with t 34-21 victory over Washington State. Washing ton overcame a seven-point lead by scoring two touchdowns In the opening quarter; built up a 27-7 margin In the third quarter and held off the fighting WSO Cougars to the end.

The Trojans had to come from behind but accom plished the feat convincingly with two touchdowns In the final quar ter. The teams were tied 7-7 with four minutes to go. Southern California meets Notre Dame at South Bend next Saturday. Montana closed out its schedule with s non-conference win over Brighsm Young, 25-8. 9 Teams Finish Unbeaten NEW YORK.

Tonnemaker Good Bet For All-America Minnesota Center Matchti Six With Real Speed s For all Its wealth of burly tin, men, Minnesota has never had s All-Amerira center. Frank Clayton Tonnemaker. whe Willi Leo Numrlllnl, another giant, barks up the Onphers' line, Is e perted to correct the situation. Co captaln and senior Tommy Tonne msker. at sli feet three and 148 pounds, has an appropriate nick name, but la very active for one of such bulk. Always neatly dressed and well groomed with close cropped hslr, the popular leader makes an excel, lent Impression, Is very shsrp men tally and quick on the uptake la repartee. Hnme-grown, 21 -year-old Tonne matter graduated from Minneapolis Edison lllth In 1848. He worked in a brewery the past summer, wrestling krts of beer to bet his arms and shoulders In the' best possible shape. I Majoring in Physlral Education, Tonnemaker snows h I s basketball, too. The four-year Golden Oopher Irtterman was all-rlty In the cage sport aa well as footbsll during his high school days. Possessed with good football sav vy, jt is not uncommon for Tonne maker to take a bead on a fast halfback running wide, match him step tor step until they crash at or behind the line of sriimmsge. It la quite a sunt to see the big boy rumbling along at such a gall. Bernle merman's boys bounced bsrk to Irsmpie Iowa after lines perted losses to Mlrhlgsn and Pur. due. finally got their leaky pass de fense straightened out so the vsunt ed line could operate at Its best.
