' SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25. 1954 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN IPelicaGis TTdtb Klamath Captures 19-12 Win By CLAYTON HANSON -; REDDING Sparked by a hard charging line and a set of swift moving backs, the KUHS Pelicans scored a fourth quarter touchdown to take a 19-12 win from the Shasta Union High School Wolves of Red ding In a hard fought game in Northern California city last ninht. In what proved to be the Pels best game of the season so far, the local high school gridders dis played some of the finest down field blocking and hard driving tackling seen in a long time, as they comnletely outdid the host team In almost every department. With the score all tied up at 12-12 the Pels took the ball, following a Redding punt, on their own 36, wnere Jack Suntlsch ran the ball buck from the 25, in whnt started out to be the march for the game winning talley. i FIRST PLAY On the first play fvom scrim mage, Gerald Del Falti tore oft right tackle in a hold large enough to drive a freight truck through, and rambled Into the clear, up to the 80 yard line giving the Pels a first down. On the next play Chuck Guptill almost broke away for the TD run, but was finally brought down following a run to the 30 yard stripe, good for a gain of 20 yards. . Del Fattl moved the ball up four yards and then Larry Yarnell, who had the Redding defense guessing all evening kept the ball on a keep it play and forged his way to the nine yard line, setting the stage for Sunitsch's run into the end gone - on an olf tackle jaunt for the third Klamath score of the evening, tiur.itsch also booted the extra point for added insurance giving the visiting Pelicans a 19-12 lead, one thev never relinquished. KICKOFF On the opening klckoff of the game, Klamath Falls took the ball on their own 34 and marched for 64 yards in 10 plays and the first TD of the game, as Dave Pepple ran the pigskin over from the nine yard line, Ron Conner's kick was no good. On the first play of the game, Yarnell three to Pepple who covered 23 yards before being dropped by the Redding secondary defensive men, then Pepple picked up most of the yardage with help from Dave Leeling and Del Fattl. With three minutes gone in the second period of play. Redding's Anton Jacobson -displayed ' some fancy running as he scurred nino yards and a touchdown, the try for point by Jack Munns was-no good, malting the score stand at 6-6. TALLIED The Pelicans tallied again in the second quarter as they took the Shasta kickoff and worked their way to the 26 yard line in Redding territory, as the invading eleven drew one of the most deceptive plays of the night as Pepple took a handoff from Yarnell and raced around his own right end ' and handed off on a reverse to Scotty Hancock, the game's leading ground gainer, and the speedy little half back churned his way into the end zone. Again Conner's kick was no good and the score stood at 12-G In favor of the Pels. Redding didn't wait long to even the score again as Jacobson took a handoff from Munns, raced off tackle and into the Pels' secondary and then for the sidelines with the final Shasta touchdown from the 46 yard line, one of the finest scampers in the game. To keep the game on an even basis, the conversion try was no good. FIRST HALF Tlie first half, like the Eugene game last week, was almost noth ing but sterling offense, but in the second half both teams played tough defense and only one score was made, in the two periods of Piny. Several Klamath gridders were Injured in a very hard fougbt, "rockum-sockum" football game that was filled with plenty of hard driving tackles and crushing down field blocks on the parts of both teams. Guy Mansell, a two-year letter man for the Pelicans was hit hard in the second period of play, and was taken to the hospital at half time where he was thought to have a broken pelvis, but It was later diagnosed by doctors at the hospital that the big Pelican end had only suffered a severe bruise.

In the picture to the left, Scotty Hancock takes off on a 26 yard jaunt for another Klamath scpre in the second quarter, as Jack Munns, number 30, qives chase. Hancock's touchdown came on a reverse around his own left end. Mikan . Retires From Ball MINNEAPOLIS i Proud Oeorge Mikan, acclaimed the greatest basketball player of the half-century, refused to let ad' vancing years blemish a magnifi. cent career today and retired from the game. Around the 6-10 Minneapolis Laker superstar swirled rumors that he might be enticed back by a more attractive salary offer. But Mikan, selected by the Asso ciated Press In 1950 as basketball all-time great, denied that his de-! cislon was provoked by a salary squabble, or that he would re consider. He said he was quitting to devotel full time to his law practice, ana that at 30, he had few starring years left. "I'm human, I want to quit at the peak of my career, while Mikan is still Mikan, ' the fabled "Big 99" said, adding: "I don't see how anything could persuade me to change my mind." Laker officials, whose teams had won six championships in seven years with the Impetus of Mikan's record scoring, were startled by the decision. If Mikan Is in earnest, it means the end of a career which more than any other, left an extraordi nary personal imprint on the game From the years when he carried DePaul University to national championships in the early 40s, Mikan has raised the so-culled "Big Goon" " to respectability In basketball. No mere human ever stopped his scoring sprees, and It was left to such innovations as the 12-foot lane in pro ball to avoid continued one- j man rule of the game. In seven I years with the Lakers in three leagues, the last the National Bas ketball Assn., Mikan averaged more than 23 points per game. At his pak three and four years ago, be was hitting at a 26 plus average. His lifetime scoring output as a pro, 11,876 points, is more than 6,000 beyond any other player.

INJURIES ' Minor injuries were thick anu heavy in the inter-state high school football game, and both teams plaved verv hard rough and pow erful football before a crowd of better than 1500, most of whom were sitting watching tho game in summer short sleeve sport shir's. One of the Interesting points of the ball game was the outcome of (the switch that the Pelican nean- Iman, John McGinnis made' this jpast week in moving Hancock from his gunrd position into an of fensive halfback slot, where the little charger turned up more yard ace than any other back in the game as he carried 14 times for a , total of 132 yards.

Tho Washington high command would neither confirm nor deny re ports that Dressen would be an nounced Monday as the club's new pilot, replacing Bucky Harris who stepped down yesterday. . Reliable sources said Dressen would get it 3-year contract calling for between 40,0OO ana 4t,(juu vear. Dressen, who this year managed Oakland, Calif., in the Pacific Coast League, would be the first Washington manaiccr not developed from the ranks of Senators players since Clark Griffith bought the team 40 yoars ago. In New York, the Herald Tribune said it had been "virtually estab lished" that Dressen and Griffith had come to terms. Griffith's son, Calvin, said "this is not true." Cal vin, executive vice president of the club, said negotiations are still In progress and that Dressen "has not yet signed." Merrill opened their 1954 foot ball season yesterday afternoon on a victorious note as they overran inspired Bonanza Antler eleven at Merrill by 53-25 score In County League action. . Ray Rader, head coach for Mer rill, began to clear this bench In tlie second quarter after the Husk ies built up a 20-0 halftlme score, with Leroy Johnson carrying the bulk of the lead. Johnson scored four touchdowns, while Dale McCulloch scored twice, George Hodges, Bill Green and Gerald Johnson each scored once. One of Johnson' TD runs was a 90 yard kickoff return. Another " play that collected a score for Merrill was a 35 yard pass-run play by Johnson tli rowing to Herb Schlccht. Scored by quarters: Bonanza 0 0 13 Merrill 13 7 20 Strong Tartars Favored When Compton College takes the field tonight to meet Oregon Tech, in the Southern California com munlty, the eyes of most of the natlon'a junior college grid experts will be watching. Oregon Tech will be faced with the problem of trying to atop what has been termed by many, as "the most versatile offense for junior oolleges In years.' Two year col lege experts had tabbed Compton as the team to beat for the Na tional Jaycee title. The Tartars wll be at full strength tor this game, a prospect that doesn't darken Compton's favorite roll. Intersections! teams have been particularly good to Compton over the years. The Tartars have won 32 Interaeotional games, lost five, and tied only one slnoe the first out-of-state competition In 1936. 1949 was the year when Compton lost Us last tntersectional game. The Oregon Tech" team, which drilled at Compton's practice field last night, were prepplng to deliver an upset, and Its appears that only a wide-open game will afford them a chance to stop the Tartar Jugger naut. Compton's heavy line is expected to be the big difference in the game, a fact that was apparent to the Navy team last week, line play was decidedly In favor of Compton and even wide sweeps by the Sailors ended against what may be the greatest forward wall In Tartar history. The Owls' bond coach, Rex Hun saker will probably start the same lineup that opened the game ' against Boise JC last Saturday eve ning at Boise with one possible exception, thnt being Doug Orip peu, ex Medford athlete might get the call for the Owl fullback: position. . Rounding out the Owl backfiem will be Ray Rosa at the quarter back position, and Odle Canada or Lyle Fleetwood at one halfback spot, while Willie Stlnson will probably get the starting assign ment at the other halfback slot. In the OTI forward wall, which will average around 199 pounds per man, Paul Weaver and Ken Sloan will probably start at the wing po s 1 1 1 o n s, while lettermen, Don Pierce and Greene Rudd should get the opening nod. tor the tackle positions. Two standout freshmen pros pects, Spike Carter and Jack Tbur will open at the guard positions, while Dennis Johnson a letterman guard might take over one of the starting guard assignments, A center, Hunsaker will probably start Lyle Loffer, a letterman from last year's club. 1 25 13 53 MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL By THE.
