PACE EIGHT HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON SATURDAY, NOV. 26, 1949 V (Ml lite) nil u4 Mm " In Low Gear Without Ted jV'' I u criticised although con atructlvely nd It wss certainly not resented by this writer for banging the drumi for Malm Ted DrMerrlU and putting other Mustang gridders In the background. But Saturday's game proved one thing to me very clearly. DeMerrlU wag Malln'a Moses on the gridiron. At the outset 111 make It clear. I dont mean to inti mate that the MusUngi would have beaten the Union Bobcats If Big Ted k.iin't hn in jured. But It uaU would not have been a 42-7 rout. Remember this: DeMerritt was not only a yard-hungry runner but was also a whale of a defensive player. At the time DeMerritt was Injured when be made faulty landing after Jump pass, the Mustangs were charging downfield reminiscent of the style that brought them up to the state semi-finals. Not only did the Malin football machine sputter physically when Ted hobbled off the field, but there era ted definite panic and uncer tainty to the ranks. The boys seemed to be keeping one eye on the chore ahead of them and the other on the sidelines where DeMerritt paced up and down, testing his gimp leg. I have never seen such a clear-cut change In a team with a one-man Change, All-Out Effort I certainly dont mean to convey the thought that the boys were loaf ing. They were giving it the all-out try. but they dldnt have it without DeMerrlU as a dynamic guide. Remember, too, that only three of the Union TDs were what are called earned scores." that la. the result of planned offensive drive. Three of the Bobcat eeores came freea Interrupted paases. Indicating. - coarse, alert fawtball en the part af the Union county lads. '- But wtth BeMetrKt 1st th game. ' the Mustangs cneeaea a goat-unc stab by the 'Cats after they ez pleded fer a score with tarry Wilson In high muting gear. Although ft took more than a quarter for the Mustangs to find their kick, they were rolling high, wide and hsnrtyime until Ted was Injured. Sophomore Gene Shaw played an Inspirational game tn trying to fill In for DeMerrlU and racked up all even of Malln'a points. Len Weber tried desperately to break away on several occasions and came close to finding the touch down key. Larry Wilson fulfilled press blurbs and Fullback Prank Baum was hard to stop. No, I believe Union would have won even with DeMerritt in the game but It would have been closer. Good Record The Union athletes have created quite a stir in class B circles. They were 1949 state champs in basketball and track and runner-ups In baseball. Thev wen the district title tn football In 1946, 1B4T and 1949 and the district title In basketball four straight years, dating from 1946. They were district champions tn track to 1948 and 1949 and baseball kings within the district in 1949. Union was the team that met Henley in the state football semi' finals in 1947 and were defeated by a 6-0 count. College Grid Scores Kentucky 21, Miami Fla.) 6. Texas Western 69, New Mexico A and M 7.

These glad tidings to Klamath ba sin fight fans became official early Friday morning when Promoter Mack Lillard said that he had Snapp and Frankie Oimbel on the dotted line. Oimbel.

IX SHAPE In the meantime, the Merrill Mauler has been married, and is working out daily while majoring in physical education at Southern Oregon college of education. Snapp is dead serious about his comeback and s determined to prove to basin fans that he still has plenty of his old-time sock appeal. Oimbel will probably enter the ring a favorite over the Snapper on the strength of his kayo win when he cut Snapp's eye and decked Sanpp three times. ROUSING TUSSLE But it was a rousing fight and Snapp had Oimbel on the floor in the first round. Sanpp said that making the middleweight weight weakened him in his last few bouts. Hell now enter the ring as a strong. fuU-fledged lightheavy. The added weight is expected to make some difference and may lower odds by ringtime, at leat unofficially.

Ind, Nov. 21 W Notre Dame's famed four horse men rode again last night through uproarious crowds gathered to wish them well on their 25th reunion. - They and IS teammates of Knute RocknCs unbeaten 1934 squad were to climax their homecoming celebration today at the Notre Dame Southern California game. Th glorious backfield of a quar- ter century ago Quarterback Harry Stuhldreher (now Wisconsin Ath letic director); Left Half Jim Crow, ley (a Chicago sales promotion rep resentative); Right Half Don Miller (U. . district attorney for Northern Ohio) and Fullback Elmer Layden (Chicago transportation executive) relived the past with the old gang in a night of merriment. All four were cagey answering questions for the record as they were when they rode roughshod over 10 opponents. Off the record they talked a lot. None, however, would agree that the 149 Irish of Frank Leahy was the best team In Notre Dame his tory. -ONE OF THE BEST "Let's say it's one of the school's gieatest teams and let it go at that," said Layden, as wiry now as he was as a demon 166-pound fullback. The Four Horsemen and two line men of the famous "Seven Mules" were the only 1924 starters to make the reunion. The others were squad members. End Chuck Collins and Captain Adam Walsh, center, car ried on for the line. If time were erased and the Four Horsemen and Seven Mules were out for football today how would they fare? This question wss ssked in view of the current trend toward lines that average over 200 pounds and backflelds that hit around 190. LIGHT The Four Horsemen averaged 159, with' Stuhldreher the lightest at 148. The line was a mere 173, scal ing down to 162-pound Collins. "HelL those guys had speed, finesse, and aggressiveness to burn," said Hunk Anderson, assistant coach In 1924 and now line coach of the Chicago Bears. - "As a unit they probably would be too light today. But you could use every one of them on any team as spot players. A quarter of a century ago they didn't know about vitamins and stuff that make our present crop of boys break the scales." PANCHO PUMMELS KRAMER RICHMOND. V, Nov. 2 OP) Pancho Gonzales turned on his tormenter.

The victory was his fourth to pro- sessional cnampion Kramer s 13 sine the tour began in October. In the preliminary. Pancho Se- gura trounced Frankie Parker -6-1, 6-1.
