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. They kept

RUNNING was the main
source of yardage in last
night's football game be
tween Klamath Union High
School and the Shasta High
Wolves of Redding, as the
Pelicans scored a 19-12 win
over the host team at Red
ding. In the top picture, Dave
Pepple cracks over the last
stripe for a touchdown In the
first quarter. 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. Popple nud Yar
nell accounted for 62 and 66 yards
' a piece to help move the Klamalh
1 ground game.

; plaved outstanding ball, a Jim ,

WASHINGTON Wl Chuck Dres
sen, a managerial type unnnown ui
Washington baseball fans, was re
ported today in line to manage tne
Senators, but a clui) official said
Dressen "has not yet signed."
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

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.
