SATURDAY, SEPT. 18, 1934 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN Pels ODBU OD Wm fromfhi CIPVTOH HkHHOH I I RADAR RAY BELL, University of Oregon basketball standout and rx-Klamatb Union High School star was In th olflce yesterday with a lew interesting comments on his trip into the Far East with the U of O basketball squad on its recent tour. In 21 games that were played in a, period of one month (including traveling time) the Webfoot quin tet scored la victories and Bell was one of the leading contribu tor! to the Oregon offensive ma chine. The ex-all Southern Oregon has keteer, led the scoring In two of the 18 wins, one time pouring 1 counters through the hoop. Accord ing to the towering hoopster, the Oriental basketball players are very fast and shifty in compari son with the Americans who play the sport. American court fans are called very rabid fans and some time are" hard on the officials, but Ra dar Ray stated that the U.S. court followers are very mild along side of the Par Eastern fans. Such tactics as throwing lighted cigarettes at opposing players or of ficlalsx was not uncommon in their tour of the Eastern coun tries, even slugging an opponent during a game isn't unheard ot, according to the webfoot star. During one contest, Bell re turned to his defensive position following an Oregon score and upon turning around at the oppo site end of the floor, a little Foster" hauled off and pow dered the big forward with a solid right to the face " re quired stitches to close a cut . and beef steaks for a pair of blaoic eyes. IN THE MAIL yesterday came a picture and a short" press re lease on another ex-Pelican ath lete that seems to be making good In college athletics. Western Washington College of Education sent out a cn George "Butcher Bov" Hanson, who is a returning letterman tack ?e and is described by the ah o r cupping as 'probable mainstay of this year's forward wall. The 300 pound, six foot gridder was working in Klamath a short time during the late part of the summer, before he returned .to hool for his sophomore year. Butcher Boy" will be remem bered by athletic follower, for his lootball and baseball playing while in his high school days at KUHS, just two seasons ago. THIS SUNDAYTHE- TWO local pnlts of the national guard w ll 1 a free demonstration with Somatic guns for ihbove0rVingh'cnaVu"T' Besides the demonstrations the euards will also put on a. safety ?how for hunters and methods of Stressing safety while hunting In "junior Chamber of Com merce members are sponso i ing the program In hopes of cutting down e inexcusable accidents tZ happen every hunUng season and the local units will do the demonstrating.

This vear'S squad, according to Rex Hunsaker, the head coach, is one of the linest in spirit and mor al that he has had in his coaching stay on the Mile High Campus Ray Rosa, the club's number one quarterback, is one of me finest passers that this corner has i-een. and if the Owl ends Ken Sloan, Paul Weaver and John Al ton! can handle his aerials, look Two other standout freshman prospects to help the eight re turning lettermen from last year s club; Willie Stlnson and Jack Thur also should come In for some con gratulations on the very fine early season showings they have made. Stinson. voted the outstanaing back in the Ohio-West Virginia football game last month Is a very close resemblance to "Dancing Don Foreman, the Owls' running ace a few years ago. Thur. according to line coach Bob smith, is one of the finest linemen that he has ever had un der his coaching surveillance, high tchool or college.

Scoring was the subject of con versation in the first quarter of the high school ball game, and every one seemed to t.te each otner ser ious, as 33 points were registered by both clubs, the Pels scoring three times for 20 points and Eu gene twice for 13. Klamath won the flip of the coin and elected to receive, and be tween Dave Pepple and Gerald Del Fatti, the Pels moved the ball from their 22 yard line up to the 23 where Pepple took a handoff from quarterback Larry Yarnell and raced through a large hole made ready by the Pelican line before being brought down on the Eugene 20 for a gain of 55 yards. Del Fattl moved the ball up to the 17 yard line where Pepple cir cled his own right end for 17 yards and a touchdown with 2:30 gone in the game. Ron Conner's kick was good giving Klamath a 7-0 lead. RUNNING STAR Denny "Little Moose" Todd kicked off for Klamath and Bob Anderson the Eugene running star of the game took the ball on his own six yard line and raced the remaining 94 yards for a Eugene touchdown behind fine downfleld blocking, Roger Peter's kick was no good, making the score 7-6. Six and one half minutes into the first quarter Del Fatti took another handoff from Yarnell and crashed for the seoond Pelican score from the four yard line. Conner's kick was good and Klamath held a 14-6 lead. Th Axemen took Todd's kickoff on the 25 and Anderson ran It back to the 34 giving the Eugene grld ders a first and 10 on their own 34 marker. On the first play, Anderson bar reled up to the Klamath Falls 29 setting the stage for Eugene's sec ond touchdown of the period. 14-11 MARGIN Quarterback Mel Olsen stepped back and hit Dave Powell, Axe man fullback with a pairs on the eight yard line and the hard run ning back swept into the end zone for the score. Peter's kick was good bringing the score to a 14-13 margin in favor of the Pels. On the second play following the Eugene kickoff, Yarnell faded back and found Guy Munsell alone behind the Eugene secondary with a pass - run play that covered 61 yards for the third Pel score of the evening as Munsell took the ball In on the Axemen's 30 yard line and scampered into the end zone. Conner's kick was blocked giving Klamath a 20-13 margin. The last score made by the Klamath Falls gridiron machine came on another smooth bit of work by Yarnell and Elvis Mit chell the other Pelican end.' OFFENSIVE THRUST With three minutes gone in the second quarter the Pelican quar terback, who did a fine Job of lead ing the KUHS offensive thrust in last night's game, faded back for another . pass and found Mitchell with an aerial that was good for 32 yards down to the Eugene 15 yard stripe. Yarnell and Del Fatti carried the ball up to the four line mark, where Pepple took a handoff and raced Into the end zone for six points and the final Klamath score of the evening. .Conner's kick was again no good. The second half was an altogeth er different ball game with each team threatening a c o u p 1 e of times, but never being able to push over a touchdown until the winning seconds of the final period, when Eugene scored their final six points. The Axemen moved the ball from their 30 yard line down field in a series of 11 plays to the 23 yard line and a 15 yard penalty against Klamath Falls for rough ing the passer placed the ball on the Pelican seven yard line where Bob Brown raced off tackle and through the secondary for the touchdown with only 25 seconds re maining In the ballgame. The point after touchdown try was no good, making the final score stand at 26-19. DECIDING POINT The deciding point of the game could have been the five recovered fumbles that the Pels took away from Eugene, two of which set up the stage for two Pelican touch downs, but Yarnell's ball handling and his four complete passes, to Mitchell, twice. Munsell and Earl Tichenor, had a great deal to do with the Klamath Falls victory. STATISTICS Klanatk Esfft Falls Yirdi gained, rushing 227 82 raroa lost, ruaning ...

The liner Into the lower left field seats of Brlggs Stadium brought an end to the five year dominance of the New York Yankees who would have to win all their re maining games and have the In dians lose all of theirs to gain even a tie.
