WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20. 1954 Pels Travel flERAL AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE THIRifctiN To Umo Huskies Unbeaten At Home Seeking to lind a way back onto the victory path, following last Friday night's derailment at Med lord, the Klamath Union Higa School Pelicans pack their bags this weekend and travel into Ne vada lor a Saturday afternoon ball game with the Reno Huskies. And facing the Pels and coach John McGinnis will be a job that three other schools have found hard. That of being able to beat the Huskies at home. The Reno squad has had six games to date, and has won three and lost three. All three ol their wins have come in three home games, while their losses have been accounted tor on road trips, bo snould the Pels trip the Nevada state power, they will be the first team to whip Reno on their home field this season. From all pre-ganie indications it shapes up to be another real thrill ing donnybrook, like last Friday's conference game with Medlord, with Just the district title "rnksstn? from the picture for McGinnis" boys. . Reno uses a wide open offense that seems to be spotty at times, but once Leonard Mardian, the Huskies' split - T quarterback gets the team rolling they seem un stoppable. Plenty of run - pass options will probably be thrown at the invading Oregonians this weekend as Mardi an can run with the best of the backs, while his throwing arm is nothing to take lightly, as has been demonstrated In several games so far this season. In an October 8 game with Red ding High, the Huskies took a close 12-6 win over the Wolves, Just as the Pelicans did earlier In the year, only by a 19-12 margin. If a comparative score means anything, it will be a battle of Reno's defense against Klamath's offense, as the Huskies held the Redding eleven to one score and scored twice themselves, . while Klamath scored three touchdowns and gave up two. McGinnis and his two assistant coaches, Harry Russell, the Pels line mentor and Oerald Bevans, bossman of the backfield, will be In a tight spot for the Reno contest should two injuries fail to respond to treatment tins week. Elvis Mitchell, lettcrman all conference end irom last year, canc up with a badly sprained inkle before Uie Medlord game and was forced to miss the dis trict title scrap, and it is unknown just how long he will be sidelined from full time action. The other possible injury that will slow the Pels a little is Chuck Guptill's sprained foot, which occurred In the waning moments of the Tor nado battle last Friday. Should these two hurls come around this week, the Klamath tool ball machine should be at full strength, with only a few minor in juries received in the hard fought district battle last week. The Pels will have an advantage over the Huskies in the weight de partment as the Klamath probable starting lineup will scale in at an average of 171 pounds per man, while Reno's- line average only 172.6 pounds. In the backfield is where the Whitebirds have a de c l d e d advantage of about 21 pounds. The Pelicans will average close to 172 per man, while the pony backfield of Reno scales just over 151 pounds. i v' 1 QUESTION MARK in this Saturday afternoon's high school football game between the KUHS Pelicans and the Reno Hus kies is Pel letterman Elvis Mitchell, who has been shelved with a badly sprained ankle. A quick response to Mitchell's injury would mean added strength to the' Klamath end positions, which were weakened quite a lot when another letterman, Guy Munsell gave up football following an injury in the Red ding game earlier in the season. Troubles Shaping ForA's New Owners By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK Wl If there Is one thing a person learns over a long period of close association with the sports scene it is that rich men get tired remarkably quick of throwing their money Into a losing athletic venture. They don't think they will when they go into it. They are over stimulated at the time with the thought of doing ' something for their home community and, at the same time, being Intimately asso ciated with a glamorous new world which they have known all their lives only from a distance. FORTUNATE A few fortunate ones, such as Del Webb and Dan Topping, who bought the rich Yankee empire at a distress sale for perhaps a quar ter of its real value, never have cause to regret their action. They only make more money. But they are tbe rare exception, and the FIGHTS DETROIT Duke Harris, 147, Hamtramck, Mich., outpointed Bob Rossie, 140 Cedar Rapids, Iowa, 8. RICHMOND, Calif.

CLAYTON HANNON, Sports Editor NCAA Report May Shatter Meeting NEW' ORLEANS 11 The report of the National Collegiate Athletic Assn's Committee on Rule Infrac tions today may shattered the quiet of an otherwise routine three day meeting. Walter Byers. executive director of the NCAA, said the 18-member Executive Council of the associa tion heard the committee s report yesterday, but he would not dis close U any institutions were un- aer investigation. DISCIPLINE The council has authority to dis cipline violators short of expulsion from the association. The session today Included com mittee reports behind closed doors. trail Is strewn with wealthv thusiasts who were stricken by a aeticit. All of which might help explain why a shocked silence has reigned over the American League the past two days, since It was announced eight wealthy Philadelphians had purchased the Athletics and saved them from, being transported bod ily out to Kansas City, NUMBNESS A sort of numbness Eecms to have set in on the other club pres idents and spokesmen. They, along with League President Will Har ridge, say they want to get all the facts before they comment. Their reaction, roughly, Is that of a group of men who have seen a colleague apparently saved from drowning and thsn kicked back in to the wuter. A club executive, who declined to be named, said this: "I have no doubt they are all fine fellows. Not one of them, though, knows a thing In the world about running a big league club. Even with the best of luck, I don't l:een how the Athletics can help losing money for another three or four years. If the deal is ap proved, will these men be willing to plow In move money for that length of time? I'm afraid that I doubt it." Jon Arnett Tabbed As Week's Best LOS ANGELES WV One of the unusual facts about young Jon Arnett of Southern California is that while he was named Back of the Week by The Associated Press, he has yet to win a place on the Trojans' starting team. Even today nis coacn, jess nin. reiterated that he has not decided whether the 19-year-old sophomore or Aramis Dandoy, a senior and All-Pacific Coast Conference back last year, will lead off at left half back against California here Sat urday. Hill did name Jon to start in the Oregon game last week, the na tionally televised contest which proved a wonderful stage for Ar nett's running artistry. But this was the only game thus far in which lie got the opening role. Does this disturb him? "Not a bit." he promptly replied. "I'm glad to see Dandoy get the assignment." An extremely modest young man, he seemed a little abashed by the Back of the Week designation. This has been his attitude since the sDotlleht began to shine on him particularly after the Pittsburgh eame a month ago. Arnett, who stands 5-11 and weighs 185, is an expert gymnastic tumbler, runs the 100 in 10 flat and broad Jumped 24-8'i to take second place in uie National col legiate meet last spring. He is al so an excellent student. These attributes perhaps explain his speed, his split second reac tions, a surprising degree of power and the ability to "think on his feet." Tbe council is meeting to lay plans ior uie associations 494th annual convention In New York Jan. 5. Byers said "two or three amend ments to the association's constl- tutioon or bylaws " would be rec ommended to the convention. one, he said, deals with fall pre season football practice. He said it would permit institutions to con duct players' physical examina- lions and take press photographs prior to the official Sept. 1 start ing date. NOT COUNTED A second amendment covers in tercollegiate scrimmages between institutions before various seasons open, Byers said. It has been the practice of many institutions to hold scrimmages which were not counted as preseason practice ses sions, particularly in areas where NCAA institutions were located close together. Byers said such session were conducted with the knowledge and approval of the NCAA. The proposed amendment bar such sessions, he Bald, because some coaches feel that these scrim mages benefit the school which conduct them while chools which do not follow the practice are at uoauvaniage.

N.M7 rfl Robert Finch of the office of the National Assn. of Professional Baseball Leagues, told baseball men of three slates Tuesday "re lief is going to come to the min or leagues." Finch, a representative of George TrauUnan, head of the minor leagues, spoke at a meet ing of baseball owners, directors and oflicials of the West Texas New Mexico. Arizona-Texas Long horn Leagues. REALIGNMENT - The baseball men met to dis cuss possible realignment. . , Finch told them a trl-league meeting Is being held in Columbus. Ohio, to draft legislation designed to "ease the burden" on the min ors in their relations with the ma jor leagues. "The minor, league structure cannot survive under the Injustic es that prevail in legislation" con cerning their working agreements with the major leagues, he said. He said equalization of oppor tunity, more generous working agreements and an unrestricted minor league draft has been pro posed. Finch said this may pave the way for Uie ending of the "fic tion" of major league ownership of minor league players on clubs with which they have a working agreement. Under , the present rules, major league clubs can con trol the futures of ball players on working-agreement clubs, though the majors may not own the play ers' contracts. CANNOT LIVE Turning to television,- Finch said the minor league ball "cannot live with TV" presentations of ma jor league games. "We must say to the majors, don't come into our territory," he said. "Let the people come to our games." In another aspect of the meet ing. Longhorn League president Harry James bitterly criticized what he called "under-the-table" salary agreements by which he said some clubs violate league limits, such operations will kill baseball, he said. "Let's quit kidding the public," he said, "They know what's going; on." AND SIDING S$$ SAVE Oral with til man who doei th work W. S.
