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

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.

ALBUQUERQUE. 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."
