TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 1. 1955 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE NINE si y pheDd , homig ltd Replay ,. Denied; TD Given By CL.WTO.V HANNON The Board of Control of the Ore gon School Activities Association rules unanimously Friday that Klamath Union High School and roach John McOinnis' protest of last Friday night's 33-25 loss to Grants Pass in a District 6-A-l football game was correct. But .nothing else. According to the Associated PieJS aid a check with Tom Pigott, secretary-treasurer of the OSAA, the board upheld .McGinnis' pro test of an officials' ruling and Gave the Pels the touchdown, but refused to allow a replay of the game, or the time remaining fol lowing the dispute. ?rrtU'Lnf 0fe. B i"10 C record books at Grems Pass 33- K'amalh Falls 31. But McGinnis and his Pelicans, along with a largo numbc ' of football fans throughout the Basin are very much displeased with the rulinjr handed down following yes terday's round-table telephone dis cussion ol the matter by the board. , The protest grew from a fourth quarter pass play by the Pelicans. Jerry Burke passed to Earle Tich- cnor, but Grunts Pass' Roger Tay- f lor intercepted and attempted to run the pigskin from the end zone. Taylor fumbled when he was hit and Klamath's Donn Tancher re covcred in the Caveman end zone. The officials ruled a touchdown at first, but reversed their deci s on when challenged by the Grants Pass coaching staff" Then McGinnis protested the referee's ruling of a touchback that was called. Jf Taylor had maintained control of the ball, then the touch back call would have been cor rect. Principal Charles Carlson and McGinnis both requested the game be played over, but due to the time element involved between now and the starting of the state football playoffs, the board re fused the request. The quarterfin als are slated to open November and the board felt three games in two weeks is too much. Another deciding point that the board used in making its -ruling against the Klamath proposal for a replay was the time that re mained in the game. According . to this writer'3 play by play ac count of the game, there was be tween four and one-half and five minutes remaining. But the game officials 'said in their report to : the OSAA that between one and, two minutes showed on the clock, fheilgure" reported by 'Grants Pass High. School officials said "Just over a minute." The following is taken from our play by play account of the game following the dispute: "Grants Pass hall on the 20-yard line. Dave Flipse carried wide on pitch out from the 20 to 21. Flipse again wide, hut held for no gain. Flipso on another pitchout, wide around right side from 21 to 24. Grants Pass then punted from their 24 to the Caveman 47, where the ball Tolled dead. Meanwhile the clock was still running. There were no time outs. Klamath tried three passes which were Incomplete, and the lime av this point, which we know Jo be a fact because It was included on our sheet in "red," stood ti seconds. Then Roy Ropp tried a guard-around play and Klamath was held. Grants Pass took over on the 46. The Cave man ran one play straight up the middle with quarterback Chuck Nevi carrying. Grants Pass hud dled and was ready to run an other play as the final horn sound ed." Sharing the opinion of McGin nis, we have our doubts If these 10 plays. Including the punt which Tolled dead, and wide end sweeps, would have taken "just over a minute" or even two minutes. But the ruling has been handed down and KUHS officials have said they will abide by the board's decision. The OSAA report said the of ficial who made the protested call, admitted his mistake in the. re port he filed with the Portland office, so McGinnis' argument had little or no opposition in the Mon day morning telephone meeting. With the Grants Pass issue set tled, ail except the dying shouts, the Pelicans are faced with their final game of the year this Friday night at Modoc Field as they meet the Ashland Grizzlies in another district 6-A-l football clash. The Grizzlies have yet to win in con ference play, while the Pelicans are saddled with no wins against a loss and a tie. Since 1936. Klamath Falls has never fallen belort an Ashland High School team. In 1937 and 1944 the two teams tied. , but in the other 16 games, the Pels have flown high on the victory trail. Last year Klamath posted a 58-0 mar gin over the Grizzlies. For McOinnis and his chargers, the Arhland contest will serve as an antl-climax to an exciting foot ball season, but the Pel mentor said Monday he was dedicating this game to the seniors, and nine of the 11 starters will probably be playing their last high school football action unless someone from the local prep squad gains all-stale honors in the shrine game.

In Kansas City, Theo Bland, act- By OSCAR FRALKY United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP) Every day, In every way, your modern athle.e gets bigger and better which surprisingly enough Is why there has been such a terrific increase in football injuries. Jisse Harper, who coached at Notre Dame before the alumni had a subway, took one look at the THch laat Sntnt-Hflv nnrl Kfliri thev mr.de the Pour 'Horsemen look puny. Bob Mathias walked all over Jim Thorpe's individual records in winning the Olympic Decathlon title. All of which points up the theory of Jim Lee Howell, coach of the New York football Giants. "WC"e always had big boys but, like in basketball, as a group your athletes are bigger today," Howell explains.-'-'Not only are they bigger but also they are able to move more quickly. - ' This means that they hit hard er - and something has to give." GREAT CHANGE Howell admits there has been a great change even since the days when he was a pro end in the late 30 s. "My wife never saw me play." he explained. "So recently I ob tained some pictures of some of our old games. Now, I always thought I was a pretty good player. I never knew I was such a poor one. We weren't the players then that they are now. I'll tell you." .Tile greatest difference, he In sists, is the blocking department. "In my day we moved into an opponent" and then stared to drive them out." he illustrated. "Today those big boys take off like they were shot out of a cannon. They drive into an opponent, sharper and better than we ever did. You don't find the brush blocking much any more, either. It's 'boom' and somebody is on the ground." Another factor, he concedes. Is the great amount of downfield blocking in which the blockers pile Into the defensive men under a full head of steam. COLLEGE PLAYERS "Then there Is the fact that the college players are better now, too." he added, "and so much big ger and faster." Nor will Howell, the one-time Arkansas star, hold still for thi popular conception that pro foot ball lacks the spirit and en thusiasm of college play. "We played San Francisco a eume this year and didn't get a single bruise." he said. "Then we nad a 15-minute scrimmage and ost three men with injuries. "Your pro player todav is even more determined to make good than the collegian." he insisted. "Even the ones who have It made play like tigers and I've had guys cry because they wanted to get Into a game so badly." Volleyball Play Planned Tonight Tonight at 7:30. another session f f-i...

APPEAL MAILED Santee, who is stationed here in the Marines, put the appeal into the mai's late Monday nisht In the form of n letter to Marion H. Miller, secretary oi the Missouri Valley AAU. He also said he will appeal to Die National AAU should Ihe Missouri Valley group turn him down. Samee's suspension had Its first effect today when he was forced to withdraw from the Quir.tico Marines' scheduled cress-country meet against Villanova College this Saturday. Sources here indicated that Quantico may cancel all of its re maining cross-country schedule, which includes a meet asainst Vil lanova and Georgia Tech at Tus caloosa, Ala., Nov. 12. against Florida at Gainesville. Pla., Nov. 14 and the National AAU cham pionships on Nov. 20. Santee also will be forsed to cancel a sched uled AAU-sponsored trip to New Zealand, starting Dec. 11, unless the suspension is lifted In time. I SHOCKED The 23-ycar-old U.S. mile chain Fion. America s closest appruacli so far lo a "four - minute miler." said that news of the suspension "came as a shock to me." Santee penned out he "never made demands of any promoter. I have always accepted- whatever they thought my expenses should be" for traveling from his Kansas home and living in any city where he was asked to tun. "There was never anything given me under the table." Santce said .. Tne laukv speedster said "it would be terrible" if the suspen sion keot him from making the u S. Olympic team again ana onrreu hire - fiiom-Jurther Marine Corps meets. EXPENSE QUESTIONED Santee was summoned before the registration committee of the Mis souri Vallev AAU. Oct. 23. to ex plain expense accounts for trips taken by mm inrougnout i n e country and more particularly to the state of California." The committee referred partic ularly to Santce's expenses for meets In Fresno, Calif., on May 14- Los Angeles, - May 20. and Modesto. Calif., May 21. Theodore Bland acting chair man of the committee, indicated Santee's explanation was not sat isfactory. The suspension bars Santee from participating in AAU-sanctioncd events throughout the world and could keep him out ol tne Olym pics. Tryouts for the American Olympic team are scheduled to be held next June 28 and 29, probably somewhere in California. Maryland State Heading For Undefeated Year PRINCESS ANNE, Md. 11 Four undefeated football seasons in the last seven and well on the way to another is Maryland State today. That's Maryland State not tne University of Maryland which you might think at first glance. Mary land State is the poor. Negro re lation of the university which also wins a lot of football games but gets more national recognition. This year they're going side by side down the football victory trail with seven apiece and no dclcats. Maryland State has scored nti points to 19 for the opposition. Behind the team wmcn was un beaten In 1949. 1950. 1953 and 1954 regular season schedules is Coach Vernon McCain. In his seven vrars he has the imposing record ol 61 victories, one tie and five defeats. And he's only 36 years eld. A modest man, he prefers to talk about a 67-19 game.

He's Norbcrt Nubb.5) Miller, a 185-pound fullback who has aver aged 156 6 yards rushing In each of Stevens Point State College's sev en consecutive victories. The 24-year-old dynamo already has received applications from the Los Angeles Hams and the Green Bay Packers, who train here dur ing the summer. More are sure to come because Miller is the kind of ballplayer the pros like to get Hcdoesn t let injurlei deter him from the business at hand. Take Saturday for example. Miller suffered a painful Charley horse and missed last week's drills. The condition got so bad he was kept in a local hospital Friday night and wasn't released until an hour before the Pointers' bus left for their game at Eau Claire. Nubbs, who's equally effective on quick openers, off tackle slashed or around end sweeps, carried the ball 31 times for 156 yards, scored both touchdowns and plunged for the extra point in the Pointers' 13-0 victory In a sea of mud. The win gave Stevens Point the Wisconsin State College Con ference football title and Nubbs the loop scoring honors with 56 polnt-s. Miller shows a total of 1.096 yards gained solely on the ground. He held tire National Assn. of In tercollegiate Athletics lead In this department last week. The modest, unassuming Nublu IR being compared with Frltsch who played fullback for Stevens Point from 1938 to 1941 under Ed die Kotal. now wllh the Rams Frltsch then went on to stardom with the Packers from 1942 to 1950.

Sixteen basketball coaches offering junior a fortune to play, and the bum says he just wants to study to be a lawyer!" SFDons Ready For Cage Year By HAL WOOD United Press .Sports Writer SAN FRANCISCO (UP I Don't look now, but the basketball season is upon us In fact, practice of ficially opens today. And the club that is getting right down to work is Phil Woalpert's University of San Francisco Dons the national champions. "We've got a lot of work to do to come back to our record of last year," said Woolpert, a slender six-footer who looks like a midget among- some of his skyscrapers. "But we have the nucleus of another- fine team. "In fact, this team could be hel ler defensively than the one we had last year." LOSS REVENGED So that's the bad news Ihe Dons have to offer the other coaches and teams around the country for the 1955-56 season. If you will recall, the USF club I finished with a 28-1 record last year, winning everything of im portance that they attempted. Their, lone loss was an early season defeat by UCLA that waj later avenged. Coming back from last year's great club are All-American center Bill Russell: captain and guard K.C. Jones and guard Hal Perry. Other returning lettermcn are Warren Baxter, Bill Bush, Steve Balchios, Jack King, and Tom Nelson. But coming up from the frosh ranks Is a lad who may step into a regular role. He is Mike Farmer, a six foot, eight inch center forward who can play a lot of ball. "This boy will be Used as an understudy for Russell and he'll also be used some at forward," says Woolpert. "He has the height, but is no Bill Russell, But then, who Is?" - -TOUR PLANNED Woolpert points out that it will be tougher than ever this year. "Everyone will be laying for us right from the start,'" he says. "From a physical standpoint this could be a very good club. But there Is the personality factor that enters the case. We will have to kindle in the club the desire to win the desire that took us through to the championship last year." The Dons go on a tour through I 'the Midwest and East during December. They'll play In the Chicago Stadium two nights Dec. 16-17; one game in Wichita Dec. 20; a single game with Loyola of the south at New Orleans; tnen to New York for the Holiday Festival Dec. 26-30. "We are passing up Ihe All College Tournament, which we won last year at Oklahoma City." said Woolpert. "I had promised our boys that if I ever got a chanco to play in New York, I'd take the booking. So this was the chance." Table Tennis Meet Slated This Evening An organizational meeting for an All-Basin table tennis play has been called for this evening start ing at 7:30 at the city hall, Bob Bonney, City Recreation Director, announced this week. All men, women, boys and girls who are interested In playing ta ble tennis are welcome to attend tonight's meeting. Table snd equip- ment will be set up and the first play will be held. I. mrz Michigan Heads UP Grid Vote By NORMAN MILLER Lulled Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP)-Mlchigan's thrill u It! ift-ll.i'' (Uliisl'lnac ukn thrill a min ile" Wolverines, who score tneir football victories with a script out of an old-time movie melodrama, tapped the United Press ratings today for the fourth week in a row. Oklahoma beat out Maryland for the No. 2 ranking by a slim mar gin, and Georgia Tech, West Vir ginia, and Texas Christian moved Into this week's top 10 selected by the 5 leading coaches who make up the United Press rating board. Noire Dame's 21-7 victory over Navy and upset defeats suffered by Auburn, Southern California and Texas ASM caused the shake up In the top 10. The Middies drop ped from lourth to 10th. giving UCLA, Michigan Slate and Notre Dame an opportunity to advance one notch each to the respective 5, 6 and t rankings. TOP TEAMS - For the second week in a row, a comparatively few points sep arated the three top teams. Mich igan's comeback power, which overcame a 14-point halftlme def icit and produced a 3-21 victory over Iowa before a nationwide television audience, helped Coach Beunie Oostarbaan's Wolverines "widen" their lead from last week's six points to 10 this week. This was 'he fourth game In the past five that tne Wolverines were culled upon to come through with their best football in the second half in order to preserve their per fect record. As a result, 15 coaches picked Michigan tops In the country. Okla homa received only seven first -place votes compared to eight for Maryland, but the Sooners attract ed more votes for succeeding place ana eagea tne Terrapins, 291 points to 29. Micnigan s total was 301 points. FIRST - PLACE Fourth ranked UCLA had three first place votes and fifth ranked Michigan 8tate received the re maining two.

West Virginia, like Michigan, Oklahoma and Mary land, is undefeated and untied. NEXT WEEKEND Next weekend's games most llkeiy to shake up the top 10 are Michigan State 'S. 14th-ranked Purdue and Navy vs. 15th-ranked Duke. Most of the other leading teams should be victorious.

Coach Rex Hunsaker's Owls, win- less in six tries snd plagued with injuries, host their arch rivals the Oregon College of Education Wolves Saturday afternoon at Modoc Field for the Mile High Campus' annual homecoming game. But Tech fol lowers are worried that the week end of football may prove to be nothing more than a housewarmlng lor the Wolves. Hunsaker's gridders have been unable, in the six games to dt. to find the right combination to post a football triumph, although in their battle with Portland State two weeks ago. victory slipped on a fourth quarter blocked punt. But in these six games, Tech has met the nation's number one and six Junior colleges, the northwest's leading soml-pro club and three experienced four-year schools. OCE is another four-year powerhouse In the Oregon Collegiate Conference. The Mile High coaching staff re ported Monday that live of their ; gridders came out of the Southern Oregon College clash on the sick and injured list and just how much duty they will see against the In vading Wolves remains to be seen. Hunsaker and Dr. George Miller. line coach and team trainer, listed Bob Fingers, Dave Thomas, Frank . Dunn, Hurry Juul and Cal "sugar Jet" Smith doubtful, as to the amount of action they will see Saturday afternoon. Fingers suffered a broken nose last week and will' see some ac tion, but Dave Thomas, starting quarterback for the Owls, suflcred an arm Injury on the third play of the SOC game and may be out for a week or two. Dunn came down with a case of the flu, and may recover in time to cany on a. fullback. Juul and Smith were -Injured in the 33-0 loss to the Red Raiders oi Ashland with a leg laceration that took six stlches to close and a twisted ankle respectively. In the past seven years, Oregon College's meeting with the Owls has been a mero formality It one compares scores, but one thing has grown from tne otl-uliu games, that of a bitter rivalry, iccn nas never beaten an Oregon College team, and the closest the Owls have ever come was in 1952, when the Wolves came from behind in the last period to win 13-12., Compared to Tech's 0-8 record, OCE has rolled to four triumphs in six tries. Last week they were unset by Lower Columbia Junior College 14-0.
