SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1954 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN nji nl Klevj York Whips Cleveland M mm DuU (A Top JC Battle Shaping Seeking their first win of the season, the Oregon Tech Owls host ihe West Contra JC Comets to night In their first home gama of tlie season on Modoc Field start ing at 8 o'clock. Coach Rex Hunsaker has been sending his thin, but high-fired squad through the past week of practice sessions, working mainly on his pass otfensive patterns, ' whtle spending plenty of time on .plans to stop the powerful. Comet offense. Last year the Comets linished tlie season by ranking In the top 10 of junior college football teams, and this year are bound to be among the nations jaycee leaders, with coach Jack Danllovlch at the helm. For the Mile High Campus elev en, Ray Rosa, the stellcr quarter back with a deadly aim and a smooth form of deception will be doing the Owls' field general work, with some very fast and hard run ning backs to help shoulder the load. Assistant coach Art Kirkland has been two platooning his backs in preparation for the West Contra Custa ball game, and six ball players seem to be on a fairly even terms for the starting positions. Working with Rosa in the Owls backfield will probably be Odie Canada and Willie Stinson at the half back spots, while more run ning from the two halts can be expected from the Bhifty Lyle Fleetwood and Calvin Smith. At the fullback position, Kirkland has Doug Crippen, who football fans will remember for his fine playing for the Medford High Black Tor nodas a few years ago, and swift running George Johnson. Spelling Rosa at the quarter back spot will be the Job of Dave Thomas, who is also a reliable ball handler and passer. Both boys are dangerous with receivers such as Ken Sloan and Paul Weaver at the end positions. Other end duty Is expected from John Alford and entries Eccleston, two very sharp looking freshmen. In the middle of the line, letter man Lyle Loffer and Kent Crawley are battling It out for the starting center position against the Comets, while the guard positions seem to be down to three top notch pros pects. Jack Thur and Spike Cart er, both first year students, have shown plenty of pormise so far this year, and letterman Dennis Johnson, who played a' bang up game against Compton last week will undoubtedly be in quite a bit of tonight's action. The two tackle positions, seem to be headed toward lettermen Greene Rudd and Don Fierce, both of whom have looked very good in the Owls two loses. Dick Blevins, an ex-Grants Pass High School fcotballer, Is also expected to see plenty of action against the invad ing eleven from Richmond, Cali fornia. The crew from tlie campus on the hill have been looking better as the season progresses, and al though they have dropped both of their games to date, the entire squad has come in for seme very high praise from opposing coaches and teams. Before the season- is over, Klamath football fans should see some very fine football from this year's Owls team. - For the Comets from Califorhia, they have one of the finest junior college backs in the nation to spark their offense against the- home standing Owls, as Credell "In credible'' Oreen, "a 190 pound, 5-10, 19 year old halfback from El Cer rtto, California leads the visitors backfield power. The Richmond school has seven returning lettermen from last year's powerful gridiron team, in cluding Severn Hayes, a little All American, who will be another thorn in the sides of the Owl line men. Game time for the opening home game of the 1954 schedule Is o'clock, and a good sized crowd Is expected to be on hand for what should be one of the top games played on the local gridiron this year. Problems Forming For Harris DETROIT m Bucky Harris will have problems a-plcnty as new manager of the Detroit Ti gers. The 58-year-old veteran, who agreed to a one-year contract Fri day, Inherits a team with only one .300 hitter, an uncertain pitch ing staff and a questionable fu ture. Harris, who replaced Fred Hutchinson, was hired "because of his ability to handle young players," said Walter (Spike) Briggs Jr., president of the Ti gers. Bucky will be paid pre sumably (36,000 a year. NOTICE TO At from thii dole, ther will be no trespaisinq allowed, in Stukel Mr. Area, on property owned by following persons. Signed, Geo. E. Smith, J.

' Jt L TWO SPARKPLUGS in the Oregon Technical Institute forward wall are Spike Carter, right and Greene Rudd, guard and tackle respectively in the Owls starting lineup. Carter is a top flight freshman prospect, while Rudd is a holdover from last year's team. Both linemen have displayed outstanding form in the two games that Owls have played so far this season. Game time is 8 o'clock on the Modoc Field turf. I UCLA Defeats Maryland LOS ANGELES () UCLA moved front and center among the na tion's collegiate football power houses by whipping Maryland 12-7 at Los Angeles last night before 13,376. The Miami (Fla.) Hurricanes likewise gained in national prestige by upsetting Baylor 19-13 at Mi ami. These two Friday night games ODened an impressive list of inter sectional games carded for this afternoon and tonight. UCLA, champions of the Pacific Coast Conference and currently ranked 4th in The Associated Press poll behind Notre Dame. Oklahoma and Iowa, capitalized on two breaks to nip the Terrapins. HARD WAY Nevertheless the Bruins had to do it the hard way by coming from behind in the last quarter and then digging in to repulse a final threat from the 1953 national champions and currently ranked sixth southerners. A poor Maryland punt by Bill Walker set up UCLA's winning touchdown. The kick went almost straight up and rolled dead on the Maryland 15. Five plays later Bob Davenport, UCLA fullback, plunged over from one foot out for the winning points. Maryland drove to the UCLA 19 in a final threat but lost the ball on downs. Davenport also bucked over lor UCLA's first touchdown In the first period after a fumble by the luckless Walker gave the Bruins the ball on the Terrapin 10. Maryland marched to the UCLA 2, but the half-time gun sounded before another play could be called. The Terps got rolling again In the last quarter. They traveled 63 yards in 15 plays, scoring on an 11-yard pass, Charley Boxold to Howard Dare. Dick Bielskl con verted to put the Terps ahead until UCLA capitalized on Walker's poor punt. An 18-yard sprint by Carl Garrl gu in the last quarter Rave Mi ami its surprise victory over Bay lor, ranked 11th nationally. The play was set up after Gordon Mai loy Intercepted a Baylor aerial at mldfleld and returned It to tlie Baylor 32. ' DRUBBED Wichita drubbed Drake 54-6, Fur man blanked Presbyterian 27-0. Chattanooga took Tampa 28-8 and the Quantico Marines whipped De troit 20-0 in other Friday night games. Jack Conway sparked Wichita by throwing three touchdown passes.

(NEA) IT'S POOLE'S FOR RIFLE and SHOTGUN SHELLS 222 So. 7th - j ? Bookies, Tribe On Edge CLEVELAND (jD The World Se ries, to the Cleveland Indians, sud denly became the World Serious today. Thi Amnrtpnn Tnirnp rh.mnlnllR ! who entered the series as 11-10 fa vorites, were down 3-0 to the New York Oiants and faced the dubious chore of beating the National La- guers today or becoming the sec ond team since 1939 to lose four in a row in the post-season set-to. Cleveland fans felt a bit sorry for the Tribe if you really can work up much sorrow for a croup of professional athletes who figure to pick up in the neighborhood of $7,000 each for the week's work. The players share only in the first four games, and then the clubs start dipping into the re ceipts. But it looks as if the clubs, unless the Tribe does an about face todty behind pitcher Bob Lemon, won't slice Up much of a finan cial melon. Also facing a financial licking arc the smart guys who paid scal pers: prices, ranging up to 30 per seat, for Sunday game tickets. Should the Tribe lose today there will be no Sunday game, and 'the tickets will be worth only the $7 refund. The smart money bookies, who quoted pie-series odds of 20 to 1 against the Giants taking four straight, also were sitting on the eage ol tneir seats, with their fin gers crossed, hoping for a Tribe victory today. Speculators were attempting to buy Sunday tickets at half price a proposition on which they could hardly lose. They made their pitch to downcast Tribe fans leaving the park. Should the Indians win today, the Sunday tickets would be worth par- or maybe better. 8hould the Giants close it out in lour straight the ducats would be worth face value in refunds. Some of the folk figured the only way open for a Sunday game was for rain to force a postponement today. Aerial . Circus Shaping For OSC-UW Battle PORTLAND. Mv The Univer sity of Washington aerial circus opens Its Pacific Coast Confer ence football season here Satur day night against the Oregon Stute Beavers, who also put the lorward pass to good use. On the heaving end for the Huskies will be Sandy Lederman. OSC's pitching duties probably will be handled by either Ray Westfall or Jim Withrow. with Westfall the probable starter for the Beavers. Lining up behind Lederman will be Bill Albrecht and Bob Dunn at the hallback positions and Stew Crook at full. Bob Sutton will han dle fullback chores for the Beav ers with Dick Mason and Tom Berry at the halts. The Huskies have broken even on their first two games, whip ping Utah and losing to Mlchl gan. OSC made their opening ef fort, against Idaho, a winning one. Klckoff time is 8 p.m. Phone 5520 CLAYTON HANNON, Sporti Editor Caroline Just Runs To Become Sensation CHICAGO Ml As a sophomore, J. C. Caroline became the mosi sensational football player since Red Grange. His explanation: "I just run." University of Illinois coaches be lieve he will run as well, or better, this season as a junior. Mustangs Top Hornets Malin's Mustangs overpowered a tough Henley football eleven yes terday .afternoon on their own home field to give the highly re garded Mustangs a 19-13 win over the Hornets. Faced by a hard running full back and a stiff line, Jim Con- roy's County League favorites came from behind at the halftime and scored twice In the final two periods to top the Independent A-2 school. Early in the game Fat Madden, Malin's fullback, took off on a 80 yard scoot through the middle of tlie Hornets' line for a touchdown and the conversion try failed glv ing Malln a 6-0 edge. Before long Henley countered for a touchdown of their own as Louis Zaroslnskt tossed to Clar ence Toliver for a 2S yard-TD. Zaroslnski's kick was good giving the Hornets a 7-8 lead at the half. Madden scored again from the 10 yard strip following a pass play from Glen Steyskal to Mar shall Cornett. Madden's conversion try was good giving the Hornets a 13-7 margin. Ray Johnson's 60 yard Jaunt for Malln set up their final score as Madden scored on the next play on an end run. The conversion was no good. The determined bunch of Hor nets were not to be denied as they came back and marched down field for another touchdown with Jim Cheyne scoring from the two yard line on a plunge. Zaro slnski's kick failed. For Henley, Ron Kaylor and Jim Cheyne did most of the ball carrying, while Ihe Malln offense was led by Madden, with consider able help from Cornett and John son. In the forward wall for the Mustangs, Lewis Kessler was the big standout against the Hornets' offensive machine.

A West em Conference rushing mark of 919 yards In six lea,;ue games (old record, 774 In seven by Wis consin's Alan Ameche In 19 5 1) University ail - gamo high for ushlng of 1,256 yards (old record. f29 by Buddy Young In 1944); Uni versity record for total offense rushing, pass receiving, punt re turns, klckoff returns 1,670 yards (old record,' 1,260 by Grange in 1923). What makes Caroline click? Is he really better than Grange? Grange's old coach, Bob Zuppke, says: 'They were entirely different types. Grange was the epitome of smoothness and grace. He had wonderful speed, could do the 100 in 10 seconds. It was hard for tackier to lay a hand on him. ' "Caroline can do some things better than Orange. He can go in side better because he has power to go with his speed and eluslve- ness. He has hidden strength. When hit, he has more power than Orange, who came down easily. "Orange was great. Caroline belongs with the very great ones, too. What amazes me most about him is how he can work so much drive so hard and, never be hurt the slightest." Itwas sheer luck that Illinois ever got Caroline. He was strictly unsolicited, and even when he oame up norlli to the Champaign campus from his Columbia, S.C., home, an Injury in spring practice ull but kept him covered up. Coach Ray Eliot actually didn't know how good he was until Sep tember of 1953 rolled around and the football season opened. Caroline, a 6-1, 180-pounder was streamlined from the start when his parents gave him Initials In stead of a first name. And one of his best ground-gaining feats was covering the 900 miles from Co lumbia to the Illinois campus. J, C. simply knew that he could n't go to a southern non-Negro university and play ball. He had to turn elsewhere and the selec tion of a college virtually became a community project in Columbia, headed by his Booker T. Wash ington high school coach, John McHugh. "I leaned towards Illinois," Mc Hugh says. ' "I always admired Buddy Young I had met him at a high school track meet and followed his carrer through Illi nois. I liked the way Eliot handled his team, especially in the Rose Bowl. "I phoned Eliot. He wanted to tee Caroline's scholastic record be fore anything was done. He was always a good student so there was no trouble there. Eliot said he would be welcomed and told me how the boy would bo treated." Al the end of the 1953 season, the city of Columbia gave a wild, homecoming celebration for Car oline, who was driven through the streets In a paper-shower and pre sented with the inevitable key by the mayor. Rhodes, Gomez Lead Giants To Third Win By GAYLE TALBOT CLEVELAND f Fantastic' as the thought might have seemed a few short days ago, the 1954 World iSeries of baseball could end here today, and 11 probably will. The Cleveland Indians, mauled three straight times by the New York Oiants, do not look like a ball club with any comeback in its system. Xhe Oiants manager. Leo Duro- cher, is not a kindly sort of dia mond figure who might under tlie circumstances say shucks, fellows, let's let the. ooor auvs win one for the sake of their wives and kid- idlcs. Leo, who might be winding up ms career as a big league pilot with this one if you can believe everything you hear, would be happy to go out with the big flour- isu. UNDERRATED If further proof was needed that the Oiants were one of Uie most underrated teams in history going into the Series, yesterday's easy 6-2 victory before the Indians' home folks more than supplied it. For the first time In the three games played, It never looked llko a contest. Never bofore had a dead er audience of 71,555 gathered in one stadium. MEDIUM-RARE After watching them play three games, one can believe that the American League champions won their pennant over a lot of me dium-rare opposition. The only oth er possible thought is that Manager Al Lopez's club wore itself out needlessly in the final weeks try ing to set a new league record for gumes won. It succeeded in that, but had nothing left. Lopez's belated decision to snare Al Rosen further punishment in the third game failed to improve mailers. Hank Majeskl, veteran replacement for the injured third baseman, not only failed to hit in four tries, but gained the signal aisuncuon of nitling into the first double play of the series. It is a rather desperate gamble that Lopez is taking In sendintr Bob Lemon to the hill again to day, but it also is a case of having almost no choice in the matter. Lemon Is his best, and even though the righthander lost the opener to Du3ty Rhodes' loth liming home run at the Polo Grounds, Lopei has to hope that his big man can give another such performance with only two days of rest. MOUND STANDBYS Durocher similarly had only about one guess to make, having run through his three mound standbys and used up his relief staff to some extent. Don Llddle, Ihe small-size southpaw who went to the Giants as a sort of throw away in last Winter's .Inhnnv i. tonelli-Bobby Thomson deal, might cn w uie man 10 close the lid on the Tribe. True, Liddle didn't exactly Im press the public in his previous series appearance, when he re lieved Sal Maglle in the opener and served up the pitch that Vic Werta used to .chase Willie Mays nearly into the next county, but he can oe a very cute performer at times. As some of the Oiants had ptc- dieted all along, the American League champs had more trouble with Ruben Gomez s screwball and sharp curve yesterday than they had experienced either with Mag lle or Antonelll In their two previ ous slabs at the Giants' staff. The Puerto Rlcan limited them to four hits. FORESEEN As also had been freely fore seen by Durocher's club, Mike Gar cia proved much the easiest of of Cleveland's famed big three to beat a tattoo on. Even Willie Mays, who had gone hltlcss against Lem- V A I WE'LL DO THE First Laundering FREE Sew Van Heusen smIi When you receive thit coupon with your new Van Heujen Shirt.

MEN'S LAUNDRY and Cleontrs 11th and Klamath Ph.2-2531 on and Early Wynn, finally got into the act with a scoring single before Lopez gave up on the Big Bear with the score 4-0 against him. In all. against Garcia and hi three successors, the Giants bashed a total of 10 hits. It was the first really impressive hitting display Durocher' club had given, and it came at a time when' the Indians were at their most helpless. Where Cleveland had left 26 runners stranded in 19 previous innings, they left only five this time. Don Mueller chipped In with a brace of singles for tlie Giants, and again It was the amazing Dus ty Rhodes who propelled a pinch single for the Giants' second and third runs in their crushing third lnnlng attack on Garcia. PINCH BLOW It was Rhodes' third pinch blow in as many days and tied the World Series record for that specialty. It is too bad that time appears to be running out on the man. Hoyt Wllheim finally was given an opportunity to come in from the Giants' bullpen and serve up a few of his butterfly balls, and uie circumstance strengthens the belief that Durocher Is determined to nang a 4-q beating on the Amer ican Leaguers. Gomez went into the eighth with a three-hitter to his credit and a 6-1 lead that looked bigger than a house. Bill Glynn, plnchhlttlng for catcher Jim Hegan, , raised a fly down the rlghtfleld line which Mu eller raced in to reach with his gloved hand, but dropped. The of ficial scorers labelled it a hit, but they could have gotten some argu ments. Glynn reached second, and proceeded on to third as Dale Mitchell, another- substitute, grounded to first, UNSETTLED . The next Indians, Al Smith, rolled one right at shortston Al Dark. who took plenty of time and threw one far over Whltey Lockman's head at first as Glynn scored the second Cleveland run. The two plays might have unsettled Gomez somewhat, for he then walked Bob by Avlla on five pitches, but scarcely anyone in the huge park aoumea mat me Puerto Rtcan would pitch his way out of it in short order. But one of those who held a small doubt was Durocher. He pat ted Ruben on the - pants and brought in Ills killer, Wllheim, just to make doubly sure that the quar ry did not escape. Wllheim retired the next five Indians in order to end the game.
