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.

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

afternoon and tonight.
UCLA, champions of the Pacific
Coast Conference and currently

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

who entered the series as 11-10 fa

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

Also facing a financial licking

Should the Tribe lose today there
will be no Sunday game, and 'the
tickets will be worth only the $7

The smart money bookies, who
quoted pie-series odds of 20 to 1
against the Giants taking four

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

Some of the folk figured the only

for rain to force a postponement

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.

They realize, however, that the
plndly-leggcd Negro halfback is
in the spot. In every game he
plays, he will be a marked man.
Monotonous hours of strategic
planning will be consumed with
one thought In mind: Stop Car
oline and you may stop Illinois.
Caroline's records? 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-

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

who took plenty of time and threw
one far over Whltey Lockman's

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.
