FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 23. 1955 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN Final Hardtop Show Scheduled On Sunday Hardtop racing closes shop this Sunday afternoon at Klamath Speedway and Hack officials -are looking Jof one of the wildest and hardest driying exhibitions staged here this yfar. Time trials are scheduled for 1:30 with the first race of a nine event program getting underway one hrur later. Ticket prices are $1 for adults and 50 cents for students. Klamath Racing Association President Benny Morrison said to day, "we are looking for one of the best race programs of the season to unfold for Klamath Basin auto racing followers this weekend." The nip and tuck battle between ' Allen Bousmcn and Bob Crawley for the high point honors is boiling ' down to a last day decision, and secondly, this will be the last time, this year the drivers will have to show what their ruffians of the 1 speedways 'can do, so all will probably have their throttles wide open. Bousman and Crawley have been pulling and pushing the last sev eral weeks in one of the tightest Uclans. Terps In Spotlight By the Associated press The bristling Bruins of UCLA, rated the nation's top college foot ball team, lead the way this week end as West Const gridders roar into a full scheduiu of games spiced by five inteisentional duels. The national spotlight will be on tCollepe Park, Md., where the Uclans battle fifth-ranked Mary land, but Midwcsterners will get a look at three teams from this side of the Rockies and Coast fans will soo the first of a series of Big Ten rivals In action. N Initial interconference skirmish es between Pacific Coast ond Bij Ten teams match Washington and Minnesota as Minneapolis and C.il ' Ifomia and Illinois at Berkeley, independent College of the Pacific meets Purdue, the Big Ten dark horse, at Lafa;-ette, Ind. ' The fifth intersection sends Washington State to Lawrence, Kas., to take on uft-Deaten Kan sas. ' Two cooiereiicd gair.es, both at Signt, pair Oregon md Southern California at Los Angeles on Fri day snd Stanford and Oregon State at Portland on Saturday. Round ing out the slate are Utah and Idnho at Boise Saturday and Ha waii at San Jose State Friday nigiit. besr.lte pessimism at Los Ang eles as UCLA left for the East, the feeling from coast to coast was that the Bruins would extend their winning streak at the expense . of the 'Terrapins ' nr.ti cement their hold on the "No. 1 national rank ing. Coach Red SaPde -s professed concern about hi.i line's ability to contain the Terps" split-T attack, but observers contended ths Bru ins' single wing wilth Ronnie Knox at tailbadt would turn the tick. PCC teams were definite under dogs, though, ejainst their Big Ten foes. Washington's Huskies, hard put to edge Idaho week ago, were figured out of their class against a Minnesota team believed ready to run a split-T offense expertly. Pappy Wal . dorf's Bears, making their home debut after a disastrous opener at Pittsburgh, looked too greon and thin to bottle Illinois. Woshington State, routed by USC a week ano, figured to bounce bank against a Kansas team which has lost 18 straight games for a dubious major college record. There was no rebounding expect ed, however, from COP, with the Tigers likely to take a sound lac ing from 'Purdue's Boilermakers. Clear favorites were established In the two conference games. Southern .Cat tested its scoring muscles and found them strong a week afo, boding nothing good for Oregon, while Stanford's ba lanced running p.nd passing game seemed certain to overpower Ore gon State. Both Idaho and Utah lost squeak ers last week, but the Utes looked little better in defeat. San Jose, showing its wares at home for the lirst time, was expected to knock over Hawaii despite the Island ers' upset of Nebraska a week ago. point races witnessed here. Early in the season Bousman ran away with the lead, but lately has found himself plagued with troub les and hardluck. In the mean time, Crawley has worked his way to within one point cf Bousman's lead atop the point ladder. Before last Sunday's races Bous man held a two point lead, but Crawley gained one notch by win ning the A-main. This week Bous man "must" place in front of K-66 in every point counting event to keep his hold on the lead. The two counting races that could either aisure Bousman the point triumph or kick him into second place are the A and B trophy dashes and the A or B mains. The A-dash and the main event will be another "must" for both drivers. Besides the two trophy events and the A and B mains, there will be three heat races, the final heat, all of which arc slated for 10 exciting laps of hardtopping, and the afternoon's special event. Club officials said plans are being laid for a team or relay race. The lop five drivers in the point race and their point standings are as follows: Bousman 731, Crawley 730, Ray Brackman 694, Dale Han kins, an honorary third place with 378, Glen Stevens 647 and George Smith with 611 points. Richardson, Shea Triumph In PS Tourney LOS ANGELES (UP)- ' United States hopes of regaining the Dav is Cup next year soared suddenly today as the result of the play of two young Americans in the Pac ific Southwest 'tournament. Less than a month ago it ap peared that Australia had an iron grip on the cup andMt would be years before the U.S. could regain it. But the impressive, smashing play of Ham Richardson and Gil Shea here this week against the Aussies" top start indicated this country's younger net performers may be capable of regaining the cup. Richardson, the Rhodes Scholar from Baton Rouge, La., advanced Into the semifinals of the Pacific Southwest Tourney yesterday with a brilliant, come-from-behind win over hard-hitting Lew Hoad of Australia. After dropping the first two sets 0-6, 2-6, Richardson pulled his game together and went on to take the next three, 7-5, 6-1, 6-2. Only Wednesday, Shea, a mem ber of the U.S. Davis Cup team, who did not play against the down under team, knocked off the other Australian Davis Cup star. Ken Rosewall, In straight sets.

U.S. National Singles Champion Tony Trabert, of Cincinnati, moved into the semifinals yesterday with a 6-1, 7-5, 6-1 win ovr Hugh Stew. art, South Pasadena, Calif. Tra bert, who may be playing one of his last amateur tourneys before accepting a lucrative pro offer from Jack Kramer, will take on Richardson tomorrow in the semi finals.

Big Bucko, the oldest player in the league at 34. and currently the oldest in point of service, starts his 13th season in the pro wars within striking distance of the league record of 117 straight games set by Paul Lipscomb, one time Chicago Bear, Washington Redskin and Green Bay Packer. The 250-pound Eagles lineman hasn't missed a game since Nov. 10. 1946, when an ankle injury sidelined him in a game at New York. Counting pre-season games, championship playoffs, two all star games and three post-season games. Kilroy played 149 straight, and 199 out of a possible 200. THE VILLAIN Bucko's longevity record ,1s dou bly remarkable tn view of his rep utation over the years. He's cheered as a hero at home, and thoroughly hated on the. road where he usually Is regarded as the vil llan in the piece, Kilroy himself won't deny that, on occasion, he has done a little of this and a little of that. His philosophy on the field Is to antic ipate what the other fellow Is go ing to do and do It first But fellow Eagles claim that he's all too often blamed for incidents where he's just about blameless. Let anything happen on the field and it s Kilroy s fault, even if he's 25 yards away. Coach Jim Trimble also comes to the big fellow's defense in the matter of rough play. "I don't, believe he's responsible for half of what they blame on him," Trimble said. "Prom a per sonal standpoint, I'd say he's one of the most coacUable players I've ever handled." ' . , t STILL FAST The years have dealt well with Kilroy. At 34, he's' still the second fastest lineman on the Eagles squad, with only Lum Suyder out sprinting him. And, the best years he had in the league since he joined the team in 1943 Were the past four seasons when he anch ored the Eagles' "suicide seven" defensive Hne. He starts the new season as an offensive -guard. Oddly, he asked for a tryout with the Eagles when no one drafted him in 1943 after he played with Temple. His "Peck's Bad Boy" reputation was part of his make up then. The Lipscomb record Is within Kilroy's grasp, but he doesn't in tend to stop there. The big fellow contends that all things being equal, he'll be around for a cou ple more seasons. 1 Only then, he says, will It be time to chalk up "Kilroy was here." Yankee Manager Casey Stengel admits. "We should have tint olri pen; nant in tne ba this aiternoou or tomgtit. sain Stengel as he named righthander Don Larsen to makd the afternoon try and southpaw Tommy Bynie to follow at night. Meanwhile, the Yankee ciunnouse man put the ch.moitne on Ice, nil set for the big celebration. DKOrl'ED Oil . The disappointed Red Sou, who dropped right cut of the pennant race by losing 12 of their -last H sanies, are anxicus not to be humi liated In the bargain. To keep the corks in the Yankee champagne bottles just a little longer, they named pitchers Tom Brewer and 1 Wiliard Nixon for today's games. ' The 19o5 pennant would be the ! sixth for the Yankees In the lust seven years, an awesome record of league domination, and their 21st hi baseball's modern era. It also would be the sixth 41ag far fuancer blende. And clinch in?; in Boston would give gnarled ola Casey an extra kick, because he operated in 'in "Hub City" for several tad seasons as manager of l'la downtrodden tiosion Biaves. Out in Detroit, the Indians could only do Uieir best against the Ti gers and, at the same time, keep an eye on' the scoreboard to sec how the Yankees are doing In Bos ton. All Cleveland hope la at the vanishing point, but Manager Al Lopes won't yell "uncle" until the last mathematical chance Is gone. KKKP TRYING "We'll still keep on trying be cause anything could happen. 1 Lo ire insisted stubbornly. "After all. the Yankees could lose all their fi"r Eomcs." He didn't sound niu-'h lute h;.Tram meant it. New York The Yankees must lose all their !

Phone 554V Fight, Wait, Hope, Slogan Of Cleveland DETROIT ifl Manaacr Al Lopes says his Cleveland Indians still can light, wait and hope. But the long odds are that this will be lhe Indians' last day as American League cnampions. Luck would have to come their way three limes in less than 12 hours for the . Tribe to keep alive their pennant aspirations. For the past . week the Cleveland 1 club hasn't had as much as a nodding acquaintance with luck. A Yankee victory in either of its games against the Bostun Red Sox ends the pennant chase. So would an Indian defeat. "We'll play the games one at a time." Lopez said.. "Anything can happen. We lost four straight. May be the Yankees will." But he couldn't bring any real conviction into his voice. He has seen the Indians lose five out of six games since last Sept. 14, three of them to Uie Tigers. And the Yankees have won eight straight to move from a 'game be hind to 3', ahead. Herb Score, rookie strikeout art ist with a tendency to wildness, drew the starting assignment for today's game. He hasn't worked in either of the Indians' last two scries. Frank Lary, another rookie, was his mound opponent.
