SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 11. 1955 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN OREGON TECH OPPONENTS will be faced with the job of trying to stop this 200-pound plus charging tackle, Leon Ellers. Coach Rex Hunsalcer rates the Corning, California lineman as one of the best prospects to play under the colors of OTI, Leon was selected as All-Northern California tackle last year and is expected to lend a great deal to the Owls gridiron program this season. Hunsaker Finds Tech Grid Outlook Bright Prospects were bright as the Oregon Tech football picture com pleted Its lirst full week of prac tice and head coach Rex Hunsaker said the turnout of 40 or more can didates has surprised the coaching staff and could very well develop into the best grid squad that OTI has fielded. With the first game scheduled for September 24, two weeks away. Hunsaker Is fairly well satisfied with the spirit and the early sea son condition of his squad. "There are a few spots which we are concerned about," the OTI mentor stated, "but with a little work and barring serious Injuries, we should be In good 'first-game' MS TUSSORES By PINSPOTTEB PETE The women of the Ladybug Tpamie sounded the starting gun last Thursday for the opening of the bowling season. Amid the clat tering of pins and shouts of en couragement from the spectators was the enthusiasm of twelve teams all trying their best to start the season with a victory. Marcy Hunt led the way for the I.adybugs as she copped high scor ing honors with a 574 series and a 324 game. Others to top the 500 mark where LaRayne Harris with 524 and Ruth Milne with 505. A new feature of the local bowl ing program this year will be aft ernoon classes for beginning wom en bowlers. Much interest is ex pected in this program which is especially designed for those who have never bowled before. Efforts are being made to se cure an hour long weekly television bowling show. This show features matches between top bowlers of the nation. A Junior league program for youngsters will begin early in Oc tober. Saturday mornings will be reserved solely for the instruction and league play of children of school age. Many are wondering if there Is anyone who can top last year's high scores made by Al Woldt and Eli Ross. Woldt missed a perfect game by one stubborn pin. Ross recorded one of the highest se lies rolled anywhere in the state last year as he hit 733 in Classic League play. Wednesday nights should find a good crowd of spectators at the lanes to watch the newly reor ganized Major-Minor Classic. With average requirements of 150 for the Minor and 170 for the Major the increased competition will bring out some of the best In closely fought contests. There are still a few league spots available for men on Monday and Tuesday nights. Those Inter ested should call 5245.

Outside of two injuries so far, the Owls are sitting nice. Charles Scanlon, a guard from Prineville Is out with a broken ankle, and Albert Bailey of Coos Bay, one of Tech's end prospects, is sidelined with a separated rib. The tackle and quarterback spots are uie iwo Demg looked over by the Mile High Campus coaching staff, since these are the two posi tions that Hunsaker and his as sistants believe will be causing mem me most trouble. Letterman Dave Thomas, Don Stonehill, reserve last year.- and Bob Fingers, a freshman, have been given the task of mastering the quarterback position, but noth ing definite has been reported bv the coaches as to which one has the Inside track. At tackle line coach Dr. George iMller has two very good prospects in big Leon Ellers and Paul Teagle. Bill Mc intosh is the third of the Mcintosh brothers to play football for the OTI eleven. Other bright spots in the Tech sessions this past week have been Lyle Loffer and Charles Hopman, two center candidates, Stan Smith. Olen Ragan and Dave Lockard, guards, and ends Charles Eccel ston, Al Van Leuven and Allen Jones. Bud Stuempges, a late com er to the mile high football scene, is also looking good and may give the returning lettermen a tough battle for starting roles. In the backfield Willie Stinson and Cal Smith, two returning stand outs from last year's club have been showing up well in the scrim mages thus far. Lyle Campbell, Harry Juul, Frank Dunn, Bill Fer rell and Pinky Andrews have also broken loose for some nice ground gains and have looked very good at times. Tickets for the OTI football sea son are on sale at several spots in Barber Shop, Herman's Men's Store Klamath Falls, including Swansen's and the Klamath County Chamber of Commerce offices. The price of the six-game season ducats is $8. Home games will find the Owls tackling Compton, Boise, Southern Oregon. Eastern Oregon. Oregon College of Education and the Se attle Ramblers, a semi-pro club. Boise and Compton were number three and four in the final rating of the Junior college football teams of 1954. UCLA Back Stars ' LOS ANGELES Wl Doug Brad ley, starting at tailback for the first time, starred Saturday in the UCLA varsity's only full-scale scrimmage before meeting Texas A&M here next Friday nignt. As the varsity knocked the spots out of the reserves, Bradley con nected with four passes In four tries, good for 57 yards and two touchdowns. Ronnie Knox, Sam Brown and Oerry McDougall followed in that order at the tailback spot. At the end of the half the varsity had routed the reserves 42 to 0. SF49ers Humble Rams 31-10 LOS ANGELES A power- ful - looking San Francisco 49er football team headed back home Saturday to get ready for the open ing of the National League regular football season and a beaten Los Angeles Ram club headed for the repair shop. The two coast rivals met Friday night and the only satisfaction the Ram officials must have found was in the gate count. A crowd of 65.633 turned out to see the 48ers wUlop across a 31-10 victory. What was sad to reflect, from a Ram standpoint, was the fact that the 49ers accomplished this without the aid of two of their most potent ball-carriers, half back Hugh McElhenny and full back Joe (the Jet Perry, both on the injury list. Tiie Rams held the foe to a 10-10 halftime tie. And they outgaiJied the 49ers in the air, 113 to 46 vards, and on the ground, 111 to 73. But the 49ers steamed up in the second half, scored three touch downs and wound up in front on the overall statistical sheet, 357 yards to 313. John Henry Johnson, the work horse of the 49ers, blasted out 76 yards in 17 runs, a total matched only by the Rams' Tank Younger 76 In 10. But John Henry's supporting cast, engineered by the passing brilliance of quarterback Y. A. Tittle, the running of rookies Car roll Hardy from Colorado and Bud Laughlin from Kansas, 49 and 51 yards in 11 and 12 carries, respec tively, proved more than the Los Angeles defense could handle. The Rams were hurt when No, 2 Quarterback Norman Van Brock- lin went out of action as the first period ended with a sprained throw- ini hand. Van Brockllns alternate, mil Wade, kept the crowd in a tizzy with his pass or run performance. But Tittle completed 12 out of 17 throws for 193 yards and Wade 16 out of 26 for 120. A 42-yard pass, Tittle to Wilson, set up the tie-breaking touchdown in the third period. It carried to the Ram five and Johnson banged over to win the game, as it turned out. Several Ram regulars, notably linemen Don Paul, Gene Lipscomb, Charley Toogood and Paul Miller, as well as backs Skeet Qulnlan, Ed Hughes, and Younger for the entire second half, saw no action. The Rams could draw some hope from this for future use. Dunsmuir Schedule Sef. DUNSMUIR Dunsmuir High School will open Us football sched ule in Dunsmuir on September 16 with a non-conference tussle With Orlando. Coach Paul Reginato started practice this last week with 54 turning out. The Tigers will field a green team this year as there are only five lettermen ana lour seniors turning out lor the squad. Coach Reginato's main worry is the line. An almost complete lack of experience makes the line a question mark. Sole veteran among the linemen Is guard Dan Chipman. Tony Welch and Peter Anderson are at quarterback, Jim Falkoskl and Franklin Barr promise to make the fullback position a strong one, with Mitch Gtowe and Jack Frye are making bids for half back. The varsity squad will be cut to 26 by the time the season starts, with the remainder moving over to the Junior varsity under Coach Glenn Mlnuth. The Tiger schedule is: Sept. 16, Orland, here. Sept. 30, Trinity, there. Oct. 7 Red Bluff, here. xOct. 15, Weed, there. xOct. 21, Yreka, here. xOct. 28. Mount Shasta, there. Nov. 4 Fall River, here. (xConference games.)

CBS TV by the Columbia Fraley's Facts, Figures By OSCAR FBALEY United Press Sport Writer FOREST HILLS, N.Y. (UP) Fearless Fraley's facts and fig ures: Amateur tennis may have its full quota of "bums" but it has a heap of high class performers, too. One such is 17-year-old Barbara B.eit of North Hollywood, Calif., who upset highly-favored Beverly Baker Fletlz to reach the semi finals of the current U.S. Amateur championship. Miss Breit after the nations will enroll at California's Pomona Col lege, where she won a four-year scholarship with a straight "A" average in high school. Then you also have Ham Richardson of Ba ton Rouge, who won a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford, while Sam my Giammaiva is a studious jun ior at the University of Texas. Ralph Klner. the Cleveland In dian outfielder, may think he's go ing to retire at tne end ot the current baseball season but his pretty wife, the former Nancy Chaifee, doesn't believe it. ONE MORE TRY "When next spring rolls around and the boys start heading for training camp, I have a hunch Ralph won't be able to suppress the urge to give it one more try," she laughed. "I just don't think he'll be able to give it up so easily after a winter's rest. After all, look at Ted Williams." Well, look at Williams. Tie splendid splinter, who came back for "one last year," is playing so well that he hasn't yet made up his mind about 1956. He'll make a fishing movie after the season ends and is dickering wilh the flickers for his life story. "I've never felt better In my life." says Williams, and you can believe it when you scan his bat tling figures. His aim this year when he came back was to hit .330 and knock out 25 homers. So he's batting right around .350 and already has 27 round - trippers, while his slugging average is over .600. The hint is that he'll be back next season. Ml;FFEI After Herbie Flam, the lowitime tennis disappointment from Bever ly Hills, Calif., upset Aussie Rox Hartwig, the 1954 finalist, to reach the quarter-finals of the National Amateur tournament, Davis Cup Captain Bill Talbert was kidded about not having Flam on the U.S. Cup team which was routed. 5-0, by Australia. "If Herbie had played like this Just before the Davis Cup, he would have been on the team," Talbert said. "I made a special trip to Orange to tell him that we were going to put him on the team." Talbert revealed. "Well, Just as I arrived at Orange, Flam was out there on the court taking a fast two-set beating from Goger Becker of England. He looked so bad. I Just turned around and went home." So Flam blew his big chance and the United States blew the Davis Cup. Huskies Hurt In Scrimmage i SEATTLE un A scrimmage under game conditions Saturday afternoon was costly to the Uni versity of Washington Huskies as two loo backs were injured and three linemen suffered lesser in- luries. Bobby Dunn, senior right half and a mainstay cn the Husky squad, injured his right knee mid way in the scrimmage and may be lost for several weeks. Sandv Lederman, senior quar terback, suffered a split hip mus cle, the Identical Injury that benched Steve Roake. another leading quarterback, earlier in the week. Lederman is expected to miss the opening University of Id aho game next Saturday but Roake is expected back before then. Other casualties Included Gene Pederson, letterman guard, with a sprained ankle: George Strugar, letterman tackle, rib Injury; and Dell Jensen, letterman center, with a knee Injury.

We have Just as good high school players as any other section, which was not tne case wnen 1 came 10 Georgia in 1938.

Thev had an off day against Cisco Andrade Whips Zulueta NEW YORK Cisco Andrade realized a long time goal Friday night when ne drubbed Orlando Zulueta in Madison Square Gar den. Now the flashy, 25-year-old Compton, Calif., lightweight wants a shot at the winner of the Wallace Smith-Iimmy Carter title fight. "Fighting In the Garden is the dream of all fighters even in these television days," said Andrade to day. "When I was in the dressing room I thought of how many great er fighters must have used this same room and I wanted to be like them. "It felt real good winning that one. It's a big one to me." Before last night's 10-roundor, the twice-beaten Andrade was ranked ninth and the more expe rienced Zulueta, fifth. Cisco Is due to lump a few rungs on the strength of his effort against the Cuban. After being outjabbed in the first round by his taller foe. Andrade, fine iabber and boxer himself. turned puncher. Faster with his hands and fleeter afoot, the Califor- nla met Zulueta'3 advances with sharp, overhand rlahts. He kept throwing them all through the fight and sta-tgered Zulueta with them in the third and ninth rounds. The votes, all for Andrade, were: Referee Al 3erl and Judre Artie Schwartz. 6-3-1 each, and Judge Frank Forbes, 7-3 The AP card had Andrade In front, 8-2. Title Fight Briefs NORTH ADAMS. Mass.

PETERSEN I'nited Press Sports Editor RICHMOND, Va., (UP) The creak of the nation's amateur golf ers tee off Monday In the first round of six days of gruelling match play for the U.S. Amateur Odds Hold 'Steady' For 'Rock' NEW YORK Ph-Archie Moore's optimistic outbursts from his train ing camp in the Berkshires are making the cash registers go jin gle, jangle. But they are not hav ing any noticeable affect on the betting odds for his tussle with heavyweight champion Rocky Mar clano. The men who make the odds still have the undefeated, 31-year- old Marciano a 16-5 favorite to beat off the challenge ot the 38- year-old light heavyweight cham pion in their 15-rounder in Yankee Stadium, Sept. 20. It's 6 to 1 that Moore doesn't knock out Marciano and even mon ey that Rocky makes ancient Ar chie his 43rd kayo victim. Odds are based on the amount ot money wagered and a lot of mon ey has been bet so far. But It's believed to be chicken feed com pared to the heavy cash that will be put up between now and fight time. It could be that a rush for Moore will drop the odds. Despite the odds, the fans as well as the experts, consider ex perienced, talented ' Moore as Rocky's toughest opponent since he captured the title from Jersey Joe Walcott. another old warrior. In one of the most thrilling heavy weight fights of all time on Sept. 23. 1952. This is reflected in the lively advance sale and the scramble for ringside seats "within the first 10 rows." You can't get those at the boxofflce any more. Promoter James D. Norrls Is very confident that he'll reach his goal of a $750,000 gate and says he wouldn't be surprised one bit If he gets his first million dollar produc tion.

FAVORITE But should the winner of the 1955 crown follow in Llttler's and Pal mer's footsteps, there Is nothing that august body could do about it.

Tony Trabert, a grim court killer, changed the Davis Cup script with a stunning 6-4, 6-2, 6-1 victory over Australia's Lewis Hoad Saturday to smash Into the finals of the National Tennis Championships against Ken Rosewall. Rosewall. the other halt of Aus tralia's triumphant Davis Cup duo, held his mystio spell over Vic Selx- and cut down the defending champion with rifle-like marks manship, 6-4, 6-4, 1-3. so the bull-shouldered Cincinnati athlete, hard-serving net attack er who already holds the French ana wimoieaon lines, win snoot for his third national crown ot the year against the 20-year-old Aus sie champion, rated the sharpest backcourt sniper in amateur ten nis. Trabert, his service like a cannon-shot and his backhand an in strument of destruction cracked Hoad'3 big service, rated the strongest in tennis, seven times three times at love. The entire match took only 52 minutes. Jack Kramer, one-time amateur great, called it "the greatest match I've seen Trabert play" but Trabert modestly said his one-aided victory was the result of a Hoad letdown after the Davis Cup matches. Trabert was a buzz-saw of ef fectiveness In levelling his person al series with the blond-haired Aus sie at three matches each. Hoad won in four sets in the re cent Davis Cup chalenge round. The women'n division failed to produce the stirring which poured from the men s rackets.
