The 1955 'football season offi-.
daily opens tomorrow morning I
when the Klamath Union High j
School Pelicans meet tor their first
practice session of the year.
Coach John McQinnis Is expect
ing 75 or more prep gridders to
report for workouts, which for the
first week will be twice-a-day. Of
this number 12 will be lettermen.
The Pelican coaching staff will
be the same as last year with
Harry Russell assisting McGinnis
with the linemen and Gerald Be
vans working as the backfleld men- j
tor. Ralph "Baldy" Poster, Dick
Vaillencour, Ray Coley and Joe
Roberts will probably be working
with McGinnis and his two assist
ants until school opens, then they
will have the Junior varsity and
freshman teams to handle.
Of the 12 returning lettermen,
nine will be lineman and the other
three backs. Donn Taueher, Dave
Pepple and Dave Leeling are the
lone returning lettermen backs.
The big losses by last June's grad
uation were quarterback Larry
Yarnell, fullback Gerald Del Fatti
and halfbacks Jack Sunltsch and
Scott Hancock..
FOUR ENDS
-' In the line the Pels will have
four ends returning. Bill Badorek,
Earle Tichenor, Larry Heaton and
,Leon Brown are all monogram
winners of last year's team, which
had a 4-3 record. Tackles Bob
Harshbarger and Jim McGee will
be back as will guards Modesto
"Mighty Mo" Jlmlnez, Roy Ropp
and possibly Ron Morris. The line
losses of last year were center
Dennis Todd, end Elvis Mitchell
and tackle Marlin Causey.
This year's schedule of nine
games promises the Whitebird foot
ballers no "cream-puffs", but in
stead lots of hard work and bruises
The season opens in two weeks
on Saturday, September 10 when
Grant of Portland invades the Mo
doc Field turf for the traditional
opener. This Is the only Saturday
irnmd nf the vear for Klamath.
Followinz the annual grid test
with Grant, the Pels travel to Eu
gene to do battle with the power
ful Axemen of the Willamette Val
ley. On September 23 the heavily
loaded Redding Wolves come to
Klamath to meet the Pels in the
first of two' straight weeks of
home football for the KUHS squad.
La Grande is here the following
Friday. The Pels then travel to
meet Boise on September 30 only
to return home from the long
Jaunt to meet their traditional ri
vals, the Medford Black Tornado.
This will open the Southern Ore
gon Conference season for the Pel
icans. EVENING GAME
After their clash with the Tor
nado club, Reno is here for anoth
er Friday evening game. On Octo
ber 28 the Klamaths travel for
- mother SOC game, this one with
Grants Pass on the Cavemen's
home field. Ashland is here on
November 4 to close out the Pel's
grid year, and what a year it
.should be.
The conference outlook gives
Grants Pass a big edge towards
winning the district honors. Coach
Mel Ingram's Cavemen will field
team that has five starters and
20 lettermen back from last year's
club and a front wall that could
very well average near the 200
pound mark. Medford cannot be
over-looked, nor can one think Ash
land will be a push-over.
With only 10 days to prepare
his team for Its opener with
Grant, McGinnis has a big job
ahead. Until school opens Septem
ber 6, the Pels will hold morning
workouts at 8:30 and evening ses
sions at 6:30. After school starts.
Just single afternoon practices will
be held.
The season ticket sale is In pro
gress right now at the chamber of
commerce office with a cut-rate
bargain being offered to the Klam
ath gridiron fans. The season tick
et for all six home games Is sell
ing for S6. This is a saving of
3. The single game reserved seats
cost 11.50 and the general admis
sion pasteboards will sell for 11.
AH reserved seats will be held on
sale until the morning of the Grant
contest.

ttTk i.nr:Ai. i-no I it ALL
not, the Modoc Field gridiron will
local sport fans in less than two weeks.
Coach John McGinnis' Pelicans of Klamath Union High School
will open practice sessions tomorrow and Rex Hunsaker's Oregon
Technical Institute Owls will begin preparations for their grid year
the following Monday, September 6. The county B-schools will open
practice within the next week also, as old man baseball moves Into
the background and kid football takes the spotlight.
This could be a good year for the Pels and Owls. One thing
is certain, the caliber of opposition to be undertaken by the two
Klamath teams has never been better, especially for the Mile High
Camnus eleven. And McGinnis , ...
faces foes from four different
states in his nine-game slate.
Oregon Tech has 11 lettermen
back and the Pels have 12. Ex
perience could play a big part
in the success to be enjoyed by
these two teams. Tech's strength
seems to be shaping at the ends
and backfleld spots, while the
Klamath Union outlook looks
bright on the line and maybe at
the quarterback position.
SPEAKING OF FOOTBALL,
word from the pniversity of Colo
rado at Boulder brings news that
Jack Himelwright, a 1954 grad
uate of Klamath Union HLgh
School, Is being counted on for
help in the coming football sea
son. Himelwright, a 6-3, 220-pound
sophomore made an Impressive
start at- Colorado last year aa
a member of the frosh club, ac
cording to school officials.
Although Colorado is deep in
experience up front this fall, Jack
is expected to lend a great deal
of reserve strength to the Buffa
lo line. In fact, Colorado nas as
lettermen back, and 19 of these are returning linemen from last
"'''ginS' student at Colorado. Himelwright also Is
counted on to give the school's wrestling picture a lift. Last year.
Jack won the 191-pound championship In the Rocky Mountain aau
meet and was rated outstanding at this meet.
Coach Dallas Ward, a former Oregon State College man, looks
for Jack to become one of the leading linemen In the conference if
not the country before his college days are over. Ward said that
Jack has "size, speed and the will to win." And that is what it takes.
THOSE WHO DIDN'T SEE Thursday night's women's Softball
game between the Arizona Ramblers and the Oakridge-Westflr Log
gerettes missed one of the best games to be played here this year.
The Loggerettes, runners-up In the recent state tournament, gave
the Ramblers and the large crowd of fans a big surprise as they
pushed their big league opponents to the limit before dropping a
3-2 verdict. , . , . ...
Pitcher Darla Logan must feel st home when playing at the
stadium here. Coach Chuck Parker said after the game that "this
must be Darla's ball park." And right he may be. Although she has
lost two games under the stadium lights while winning only one,
she has been the standout pitcher in each game.
Logan beat Klamath In the tournament, 3-2, then lost a 2-1
decision to Oswego in the championship game In nine Innings. Now
she dropped another heartbreaker to Arizona, 3-2. In the Oswego
game Logan pitched no-hit ball for seven-plus innings. Then Thurs
day she didn't allow a run after the first inning and struck out 10
of the former world champions. Logan made the appearance even
more impressive by allowing Just five base hits to the traveling
Softball club from Phoenix.
Logan's battery mate, Alda Wright, came loaded with her energy
building secret, bubble gum. Yes. the pint-sized receiver for the
Loggerettes had a big mouthful of the gum, and the faster was the
game tempo, the faster Alda would chew.
It. Is now a trademark of the Oakridge team as well as Wright
to have the bubbles bursting when Alda's on the Job. The local soft
ball followers first noticed the chewing gum action in the state
playofls. It's for sure that the "big chaw" doesn't hurt the scrappy
catcher's playing ability.

Women's
Title Won
By Lesser
Bv HUGH Fl'LLERTON JR.
CHARLOTTE, N. C. i Perky
Patricia Ann Lesser of Seattle,
scrambling but still superb, won
the 55th Women's Amateur Cham
pionship of the United States Golf
Assn. Saturday by administering
a crushing 7 and 6 defeat to Jane
Ann Nelson, a spunky schoolteach
er from Indianapolis, in the
hple final.
It was the most lopsided final
match . in the women's national
tournament since Babe Zaharias
heat Mrs. Clara Sherman, 11 and
9, In 1946.
Miss Lesser, barely 22 years old
but already a golfer of note, took
charge of her older but compara
tively unknown opponent on the
back nine of the morning round
over the hilly, tricky Myers Park
Country Club course to lead 5 up
at the 18-hole mark.
Except for one horribly bad hole
in the morning, the Seattle Univer
sity senior played sub-par golf all
the way. And the 37-3174 wom
en's par for the 6.413-yard Myers
Park course Isn't easy to master.
During the entire week of play
only Miss Lesser has been able
to beat ft consistently.
Miss Nelson, a vacation-tiine
golfer who hadn't gone beyond the
fourth round in two previous ap
pearances in the women's amateur
couldn't malch that pace after the
first half dozen holes. For that
distance, Pat had to rely on a red
hot putter to stay even. Then as
she dropped behind, Jane com
pletely lost control of Myers Park's
tricky, bumpy Bermuda grass
greens.
The loser, twice a scml-flnallst
before she reached the top and
a member of the 1954 Curtis Cup
team. Is a tall, deeply tanned girl
who has plenty of endurance and
competitive spirit. To some extent
It was endurance that counted on
this blazing hot day.
At the start tne snm-ieggea,
smooth swinging Hoosler was out-
hitting Miss Lescsr. BUI as tne
match went on and as she dropped
farther and farther behind, her
drives became shorter and her
game seemed to come apart.
Still It was someuiuiB ui w
umph for Miss Nelson to get as
far as the final. She's a history
teacher in an Indianapolis school
and can only play tournament golf
during vacations. Pat manages to
slay on the tournament trail most
of the season.
i. Phamnion. Miss Lesser suc
ceeds Barbara Romack, who was
knocked out in the second round.
Pat came through the toughest
half of the draw, beating Mary
Ann Downey, Barbara's conquer
or, Mrs. Jane Crum Covington and
Polly Riley on the way to the final.
