More Sports On Pages 14-15 o o o o EKHIiDCEEE (SB they have met this season when the Owls and OJC Rangers tangle on the Bremerton battle field. In the line for the experienced Ran gers the average per man is 214 pounds. Center Bucky Bridges is the smallest man at 195 pounds. Other weights range from 205 to 240. For added weight, coach pick Ottele can use reserve cen ter Paul Johnson, a 240-pounder in place of Bridges. The only other line that Tech has faced with this amount of weight was Compton's Tartars, the nation's number one junior college. VICTORY COLUMN The win-loss record for the Ran gers is not outstanding, but Ot tele reports his footballers are coming along as the season heads into the record books. Olympic has won three and lost five, but the last three games have gone into the victory column for the Brem erton eleven. Yakima. Ft. Lawton Navv and Centralia have gone down before tne Rangers, while Lower Colum- bia, Everett, Greys Harbor, We natchee and Boise have whipped OJC this year. All of the losses except the Boise defeat have been by one .touchdown or less. The Boise-Olympic score favored the Idaho JC 21-12. According to coach Ottele at Olympic, his club has opened the last three games with a torrid passing attack that has been re sponsible for the team's success in the win column. Led by the pitching of quarterback Hoot Fay ette, a 180-pound sophomore let- terman, the Rangers have rolled up yardage in large hunks lately. In the last two games, Fayette has completed 19 of 27 tosses. Hunsaker, who is flndine the practice problem tougher than the team's record, said he plans to stick with the same lineup that he has been using throughout the last few games in hopes of pulling a victory out ot tne bag. "This is no easy one," the Tech coach reports, "but if our bnv.i ninv ball In comparison with their spir its, then our chances of winning are good. It takes lots of guts to limy lor a losing club, and these kids this year are sticking with it despite the miserable season." PREP SCENE On the prep scene, Malin and Union are expected to dip deep into their bag of tricks this week end In an all-out effort to move into, the finals of the B high school school football playoffs. A win for the visiting Bobcats would make it three straight years in the championship game. Malin holds an 8-0-1 win-loss-tied record so far, while Union has won six nnri lost two, but these two were to A-i scnoois. La Grande whipped Union 20-7 and Weiser ( Idaho i stopped the Bobcats 31-14. Klam ath Union High's Pelicans dumped tne La Grande Tigers here earlier in tne year 33-7. Coach Comlsky Is- In his tenth season at Union, and In this live he has coached six state playoff teams. In 1949 the Eastern Oregon school whipped Malin in the semi- finals, and in 1947. Union lost to Henley, then a B-school. This will be the rubber match between Union and Klamath County schools. Last week Union's coach brought out gloves lor center Larry Bu ford and quarterback Mickey Rick- er as the 'Cats walked over Echo 39-13 in a cold quarterfinal game. Malin worked its way into the semis by dumping Moro 32-7 in a game played here. Malin will have a Jump on the invading union eleven In the weight department, but Comis- ky's gridders are reportedly very fast and have been beating most or tneir opponents to the punch, despite the lack of poundage. Un ion's largest lineman on the start ing offensive unit is Dick Cantrell. a no-pound senior guard. On de fense, Phillip Degraw, a 200 pound tackle leads the weight parade for the Bobcats. In the backfield, Gene McKinney, who scored five of Un ion's six touchdowns against Echo, is the largest back on the Bobcat squad at 180 pounds. Coach Jim Conroy reported ear ly this week that his club came through last weekend s quarterfin al game without an Injury, and Malin is expected to go into the semifinal clash with Union at top strength, snow plows and all.

Well, zillions of gentle readers, there's a reason. A couple of weeks ago this paragraph was printed in my weekly forecast. and I quote: "Not too many upsets this week. folks! The big one is Illinois to defeat Michigan. Then Stanford to repulse Southern California. These promise to be epic struggles."

Both sur- Individual Tiff Seen In Big Ten Game By JOE MOOSIIIL CHICAGO UH Michigan and Ohio Slate will meet fop the Big Ten football championship Satur day but it might well turn out to be a battle between Ohio State's Howard Cassady and Michigan ends Ron Kramer and Tom Maentz. While Coach Bennie Oosterbaan lauded his two great ends to Chi cago football writers via telephone yesterday. Coach Woody Hayes of Ohio State was equal In his praise of Cassady. He called him the "greatest football player I've ever seen." Oosterbaan said he has never seen two greater ends than Kram er and Maentz on one team. The Wolverines need Saturday's game to clinch the Big Ten title and a trip to the Rose Bowl. A loss or a tie would give Ohio State the title and allow Michigan State to represent the Big Ten In the New Year's game at Pasadena. Hayes praised his team for its great comeback after losing to both Stanford and Duke and still being able to move towards a title game against Michigan. "We were being compared to the great 1954 Ohio State team," Hayes said, "but our boys worked hard and managed to improve. The tuniing point was the Wisconsin game (Ohio State 26. Wisconsin 161 where we were considered a team that could go on its own. "We've' been accenting our strength and minimizing our weak ness." said Hayes when asked why his team didn't pass more often. But, he added, "wait until Satur day to see If we can prove It." Hayes said All America backs can hurt a football team because of publicity, but he refused to place Cassady In that category, "He's the greatest. He takes pub licity in stride and gives you the best he has," said Hayes.

State 14 Newcomers Headline NW Little A-A List By JACK IIKWINS Associated Press Sports Writer Small-college football stars who squeezed into the Little All Amer ica and Northwest all-star scenery last year are shooting for first team berths this season but with plenty of competition from some unimpressed newcomers. Perhaps the outstanding feature of the small-college oicture is the large number of freshmen and sophomores who have earned the praises of The Associated Press Regional Little All America Board Hottest of the rookies are a paif of halfbacks. Whitworth's Warren Lashua and Lewis and Clark's Mel Glllett. Even bigger is the crop of stellar sophomores. Rated up with the best by the board members are Tommy Gil mer, Pacific Lutheran quarter back: Ends Doug Zitek of Oregon College and Vic Backlund of Wil lamette; guards Howard Morris of Linfield and Eddie Phillips of Lew is and Clark, and halfback George Sullivan of Whitman. One of the outstanding new ar rivals, however, Is Bill West of Eastern Oregon College. Bill Is no rookie, having put in a couple of seasons at Oregon State before entering the service and then switching to EOCE. The 210-pound-cr has been a battering ram on of fense, a terrific blocker and a de fensive hope-wrecker. - The two Northwcsterners who were Little All Americans last year end R. C. Owens of College of Idaho and tackle Larry Paradls of Whitworth are out of action. Whitworth's Bill Vanderstoep, who earned third-team ranking a year ago, Is rated a first-team candi date for 1955 at center, Oene Flippen of Lewis and Clark and Bob Bradner of Whitworth, wh3 received honorable mention nationally at halfback and end, are very much in the battle for top rating this year.

Buy on Easy Opinions Differ On CC Backs SAN FRANCISCO Wl Thero's a difference of opinion In the West as to whether UCLA's Bob Daven port or Stanford's Bill Tarr is the better fullback. Davenport, in pre-season specu lation, was expected to be a shoo in for All America honors in suc cession to Wisconsin's great Alan (The Horse) Ameche. Tarr, al though recognized as an outstand ing fullback, wasn't given much of a tumble. . But Tarr now is credited with being the man who powers Stan ford's pace-setting total offense in the Pacific Coast Conference, while' tailback Sam Brown has taken over as big gun on the UCLA team which has bowled over eight of nine -opponents and earned No. 5 rating in The Associated Press poll. In fairness to Davenport, it should be pointed out that he has been handicapped by an injury. He hurt his knee as the Bruins clobbered California three weeks ago and sat out the rout of Col lege of the Pacific a week later Last Saturday, with UCLA trailing Washington, he was called upon late in the game and. with Brown, sparked a drive which led to a 19-17 win. Tarr, who topped conference runners last fall, currently is sec ond behind Brown. He has gained 596 yards in 153 carries for a 3.2 average. Davenport has carried 68 times for 311 yards for a 4.6 average, Tarr's "bread and butter" yard age has improved Stanford's pass ing game to the extent that it tops the conference with 1,362 yards, nearly 400 yards more than the second place team. In total offense the Indians lead with a 3.092 yard figure. quarterback who was first choice at the position In the Northwest in 1954.

If the 6-1, 130-pound Junior half back from Rusk, Tex., had any detractors he did a great Job of sending them sprawling lust week end in his nne-man show against Texas. The Horned Frogs, closing In on the Cotton Bowl, didn't need any more than Swink to bring the ambitious Longhorns back to earth. It was a 47-20 ball game and Swink went across for four touch downs. Only one was common place, coming on a 1-yard plunge. The others were true Texas spec taculars with Swink swinging along on runs of 62. 57 and 34 yards. In 15 plays, he piled up 235 yards the top one-game total of the season for majnr college play. Among other things, he also boot ed two conversions, giving him a total of 26 points for the game as TCU handed Texas its worst con ference whipping of all time. TCU Coach Abe Martin, who's hod to come up with new adlec- lives for Swink each week, dldn t have any doubts that it was the "greatest exhibition of boll carry ing I ever saw."

Wo Givo ' S&H Green Stamps! Smith Auto Supply 919 Klamath May Get SAN FRANCISCO (UP) At least four directors of the Pacific Coast League were hopeful today they could persuade Chicago at torney Leslie O'Connor to take over as president of the Pacific Coast League. O'Connor, if he could be per suaded, would succeed Clair V. Goodwin, who has submitted an "open end" resignation as Dresl- dent of the eight-team loop. uoodwin submitted his resigna tion, which he said is "good to day, tomorrow or anytime," to Fred David, president of the Sac ramento Solons and a PCL direc tor. David said the resignation was the result of a talk to Goodwin. . 'I was appointed a committee of one to talk to Goodwin to see how he felt about our failure to re-elect him at our annual meet ing in Vancouver, B. C. David said. "This Is the upshot of It." David said the directors gen erally provide for the president at the annual meeting. Goodwin's term was due to expire Dec. 31. He had no contract. "There was no action taken," David said. "He read between the lines and decided he would not like to stay In there unless he had the unanimous approval of all the directors' , , What apparently provoked the wrath of the PCL directors was Goodwin's failure to come up with the right answer on the disposal of the San Francisco Seals fran chise. This was once the , most valuable piece of property In mi nor league baseball. The franchise Is now in the hands of the PCL directors, wtth Newk, Brooks Talk Contract BROOKLYN UP! A scowl on his face and a chip on his shoulder, big Don Newcombe arrived in town today to talk contract with the Brooklyn Dodgers. I m - asking' for 130,000 and that's exactly what I'll settle for," snapped Newcombe, apparently still bitter over the IV,'2 per cent cut he was forced to take last year. Brooklyn Vice President Buzzy Bavasi - was the Smlucky official assigned the task of talking to Newcombe, a fellow who was armed with some Imposing statis tics. He compiled a 20-5 record last year, hit .359, hit seven home runs to break the National League rec ord for pitchers and went 21-for-8 as a pinch hitter for a .381 mark. "I expect a tight and I'm not backing down one bit," he con tinued. "I'll sit it out Into ' the spring If I have to. When you have a lousy season; they give you the ultimatums. I had 'a good season Now '-I'm giving them ultima turns." ," , . 1 - Last Season, Newcombe got $17,500, a $2,500 comedown from the figure he collected in 1953, "Bavasi practically threw me out of his office last year," said Newcombe. "He told me then that if I didn't take the I2"i per cent cut, he'd keep sending me con tracts calling for $1,000 less each ttmn until T ont tha full 9S nnr cent they're allowed to give you."

Hank Greenberg of the Cleveland Indians and Joseph Cairnes of the Milwaukee Braves decided against buying It. The pro-O'Connor directors said he "has the proper major league connections and knows baseball from the bottom up." O'Connor was formerly secre tory to the late Kenesaw Mountain Landis. high commissioner of baseball. "But O'Connor ; has been of fered the job before : and has turned it down," , an Informant said. "However, he has told us in the past that In case of an emergency he would come to our aid. I believe this is an emer gency. If he would come here for a year I believe he could straighten things out." . O'Connor has indicated from his home at Crystal Lake, 111., that he would not come out to the coast on a permanent basis. He is now semi-retired. He was in Vancou- -ver for the recent PCL sessions and it was there that some of the directors concluded they must have him. . The final decision on the selec- Uon of a president is likely to be made at Columbus, Ohio, pos sibly on Nov. 27. The minor lea gues open their annual session on Nov. 28 and the PCL will want to attend that session with Its house in order. , Wool & Nylon v Socks 79c up I Lined Gloves Hunting Mitts A Good Buy , "l 95 up I Hand Warmers 195 95 SEE US FIRST INSULAR Socks - Boots The GUN STORE 714 Main Ph. 3863 Wfeather y K - Values tl Brrrr . .. ) FIRESTONE STORES SERVICE STORE 11th ond Klomolh Phone 8141 6th A Pim Ph. 3234
