WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER Pel Seniors See Final Prep Action This Fridav Niaht Klamath Faces GP Jinx Klamath Union High School' footballing Pelicans go into action on the gridiron (or the Ileal time this . season Friday night on Mo doc Field as they meet the al ways tough Grants Pass Cavemen In a game that will close out the prep playing days for 18 seniors on coach John McGinnis' quad. The Whitebirds are completely out of the district football race picture, but the "Never Say Die Ktds" are out to avenge four stiaight lickings that the Cavemen have been handing out, including last years's 20-0 shutout at Grants Pass. UNDOUBTEDLY Caveman Coach Mel Ingram will undoubtedly have his gridders up as he does every year for Vie Klemath-Grants Pass gridiron bat tle, and for the first time in sev eral seasons, this game will not determine the district champion as Medford sewed up the title with a 13-0 win over Klamath a few weeks ago. The last victory that a Klamath football eleven can claim was in 194J, when, after a layoff of two seasons by the two schools, the Pels swept to a 38-12 verdict over the home standing Cavemen with halfback Qaynor Huck running wild against a helpless Caveman defense. Since then, however, It has been an entirely different story, as In' gram has driven his club to four straight Including a 14-6 win In 1950, 33-0 in 1951, 7-0 In 1953 and 20-0 last year. TRADITIONAL This year's traditional fight should be enlightened by the stel lar line play of both clubs, as Grants Pass has one of the finest lines In the history of the school, and Pel line coach Harry Russell has a forward wall that has won itself quite a lot of acclaim so far this season. There will be 10 senior linemen playing their last high school foot ball game this Friday evening as Elvis Mitchell, Scotty Hancock. Dick Clark, Marlin Causey, Wayne Rodgers, Vince "Pee Wee" Reece, Erwin Mullen, Larry Mathews, Denny "Little Moose" Todd and Art Badorek, will be seeing the final gridiron action after four years of high school playing. In the Pels brickfield, coach Gerald Bevans Will be using eight gridders who are closing out their final season of prep football as Larry Yamell, Chuck Guptlll, Ger ald Del Fatti, Larry Dearing, Ron Conner, Jim Borden,. George Ar nold. ' and Jack Sunitsch will be seeing their final share of football on Modoc Field as a Pelican foot baller. ' ' THUNDERED With these seniors and a star studded load of Juniors, McGinnis could very well get the Pels "up" for the big game this Friday as he has done several times this year, including last Saturday when the Pels were trailing 7-0 in Reno. They came back from a sloppy first half and thundered to a 19-7 win. The sign of how thev played ball In the final chapter is accounted for in the first down de partment, where Reno couldn't roll up one first down the entire sec ond half against a spirited Peli can line. But Grants Pass will be Just bout twice as tough for the Klam athites as the Huskies were last Baturday and with, Ingram, at the helm of the Grants Pass coaching staff trouble could be brewing for the Pels at almost every turn, even on their own home ground of Modoo Field. The Caveman's onslaught Will be led by three backs who will be thorns In the sides of the Pels all night long as Don James. younger brother of the University of Oregon star and ex-GP stand out Dick James, Lloyd Zimm and Al Drews will be carrying the ma jor share of the mail for the Cave men. ODD MAKERS Grants Pass has a 3-1-1 season record compiled as they meet the Pels inquest of making It 4-1-1, something that odd makers don't think will be too tough of a chore for the number four team in the AP prep poll. Klamath Is ranked In the Number 10 spot. The gridders from the valley will be the favorites on almost everyone's docket, with the excep tions of the Pelicans, who are out o stop the Cavemen and their coach, Mel Ingram for the first ATTENTION CHEVROLET OWNERS CHET GREENWELL PARTS AND LABOR Chevrolet Factory Approved Mechanic 15 Years Of Chevrolet Experience Over Ten Yeori With Local Agency FILL UP WITH CHET GREENWELL 730 E.

Major Hoople Only Bug In His By MAJOR AMOS B. HOOPLE The Weekly Upset Man Egad! It startles even me, a man accustomed to extraordinary reversals of form! But I have toiled far into the night with my figures (Editor's Note: Those "figures." I believe. are Owls Club sleepouts) and can offer you no other choice. The astounding conclusions are: Navy will ' defeat Notre Darne. Michigan State will halt mighty Minnesota. California will nose out UCLA. Colorado will dump Okla- noma. Well may you wonder ' how I arrived at these amazing prognos tications. Haw I I cannot disclose all the details of my new system which at pres ent doesn't seem to have a bug in It. But I will tell you it Is based on Avogadro's hypothesis concern ing equal volumes of Buses in their. relation to equal numoers of mol ecules. The origin is Gay-Lussac's law. If I remember correctly my scientific papers at Glosgow Uni versity. Anyway, my editor tells me I am averaging in the r.eighborhood of .800 in my selections, which you must admit is a formidable figure. (Editor's Note: I think I told him .600. but I don't know wheth er it's that high or not.) Johnny Salkeld Keeps PN Crown CALGARY Wl Calgary's John ny Salkeld retained his Pacific Northwest welterweight title here Tuesday night when he won a unanimous decision over Emll Ba rao of San Francisco In a ten round action-packed light before 1,200 fans. Salkeld was on the canvas twice during the bout, once in the third round when he suffered an al leged low blow from Barao and again In the eighth when he took two solid left hooks that forced him to go down on one knee for -nine count. All three Judges gave the deel slon to Salkeld on points. Salkeld won a decision from Ba rao last year. time in five seasons. Tickets for the Friday night game, the final of the season, are on sale at the Chamber of Com merce offices in Klamath Falls, according to KUHS officials.

Debt Paid By Cougar Supporters MOSCOW, Idaho 11 Tuesday was payoff day at the University of Idaho and the entire student body turned out to collect the "walk" Washington State College was supposed to win In. It was the final event of a wild weekend celebration touched oft by the Vandals' 104 football un set of the Cougars last Saturday. The "walk" was the payment of a longstanding bet between the two gridiron rivals. Each year students from the losing school must walk the nine long mile separating the Palouse country institutions. For 27 of the last 29 years (tnere were two ties) Idaho stu dents made the trek. Tuesday it was WSC's turn, and Idaho made the most of it. Dale Boose, WSO student body president; Barry Jones, vice pres ident, and Warren Pettlt and Bob Harris of the WSC student news paper were tapped for the hike. They were followed by a dele gation of 1,000 students who fol lowed them through town and up to the . campus here. Besides the walk, the WSO stu dent leaders literally paid In blood for their football team's loss. The four hikers, plus some CO of the escort, donated a pint of blood each to the Idaho Red Cross blood drive which got under way Tues day. Wcsleyan University has kept Trinity College from a perfect grid iron season on three occasions In recent years. The traditional rival ry between the two teams dates back to 1885. LOOK!
