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.

TONIGHT AT BOISE the Oregon
Technical Institute Owls should

al that he has had in his coaching
stay on the Mile High Campus

finest passers that this corner has

season showings they have made.
Stinson. voted the outstanaing
back in the Ohio-West Virginia
football game last month Is a very

linemen that he has ever had un
der his coaching surveillance, high

First' Half
Scoring
Clincher
The Klamath High Pelicans com
bined a sharp passing game
with five recovered Eugene fum
bles to score a 26-19 win over the
Axemen, their first of the season,
on a chilly Modoc Field turf last
night.
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.

AP Sports Writer
Bobby Avlla's stock rose to new
heights today in the race for the
most valuable player In the Amer
ican League.
The peppy , Cleveland second
baseman, almost a shoo-in for the
batting title, made himself person
ally responsible for at least a
share in the pennant with a grand
slam home run In Detroit last
night.
The blast gave the Indians their
eighth straight victory and made
certain they will stlil be in first
place on the last day of the season.
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.
Avlla made the difference since
the final score was 6-3 and the
count was even at 2-2 when he
Honkers Cop

fifth play of the ball game to give
the Huskies a 6-0 lead. The conver
sion try was no good.
Shalicky scored hls first touch
down on a two yard run capping
a 38 yard march down field. The
Honker's backfield ace also ran
the conversion over to give Tule
lake a 7-6 margin.
Johnson took a hand off and ran
through the center of the Tulelake
defense for 88 yards and the final
Merrill touchdown. Again the try
for point was unsuccessful.

"MUCHO PESOS"
Jt was quite a day for Avila. Be
fore the game he bought a ball
club, the Mexico City entry In the
Mdxican Winter League. Avila said
It cost him "mucho pesos.
His home run made It a lead
pipe cinch that he'll collect a good
share of those pesos from the
World Series.
The Yankees were making what
probably will be their last visit
to Philadelphia when the bad news
came In from Detroit. They had
just mauled the hapless Athletics
10-3 for their 98th victory. They'll
probably win more than 100
games, something no other runner
up ever has done In the American
League.
In the National League the New
York Giants and the Brooklyn
Dodgers were beaten but Milwau
kee prolonged its faint chance with
a 6-4 triumph over the St. Louis
Cardinals, '
The Giants bowed to Robin Rob

OTHER ACTION
In other action the Baltimore
Orioles defeated Chicago 5-1 on
two-run home runs by Bob Kenne

Stone of the Senators backed up
his own three-hitter with a three
run homer as Washington
swamped Boston 8-0.
Bob Lemon posted his 23rd vic
tory for Cleveland, tops In both
leagues. He allowed six hits. Al
Rosen's two-run homer in the first
sent the Indians off to a lead but
Detroit tied it in the sixth with
the help of errors by Avlla and Al
Smith.
Avila's homer was his 24th of the
season and his first with the bases
full.
Lefty Tommy Byrne checked the
Athletics on eight hits and drove
In three of the Yankee runs with
two doubles and a single.
The Braves bullpen stopped the
Cardinals on three hits in the last
six innings. Dave Jolly, second of
four pitchers, received credit for
his 10th success. A triple by Bill
Bruton. Danny O'Connell's single,
a double by Eddie Mathews and
an error produced the winning
runs In the fifth after St. Louis
had tied the score at 4-4 in the
fourth.
A single by Del Ennls with one
out and the bases loaded ruined
Johnny Antonelll's bid for his
22nd .victory. Roberts picked up
No. 21 as he held the league lead
ers to seven hits. Stan Lopata
homered with one aboard for tho
Phils.
Max Surkont gave the Dodgers
