By DICK JEWETT Mail-Tribune Snorts Editor CENTRAL POINT - "We don't figure on ending in last place." That remark by Head Coach Leonard Warren exemplifies the attitude of the Crater High School Comets as they prepare to bow into District 6 A-l football competition. With only 30 boys having picked lip gear, the Comet squad is the smallest since 1951 when Crater High first opened its doors follow ing merger of Central Point and Gold Hill high schools. But the Crater aspirants are taking both the rise to A-l and the meager squad size In stride. "The kids like the idea of being A-l," War ren reported. "Generally speaking their atti tude is really good," the mentor said. "They're showing lots of spir it and are hustling all the time." 14 LETTERMEN Although there are only 14 let- termen on the squad. Warren feels the Comets will play good ball provided some of the key boys are not injured. He looks for ward to a good first crew but so far as substitutes are concerned the club is "awfully thin." Two year leltermen are Dick Davis and Dave Parker, tackles: Carl Koellner. end: Don Hubbard. guard and George Juvcland and Don Goyette, backs. Other mono gram men are Gerald Kimc, end: Bill Morse and Roger Seaman guards; Neil Green, center, and Wayne Allen, Bob Elden. Lee Gos- sett and Ron Harrison, backs.

It marked the 10th consecutive overtime triumph for the rampag ing Rediegs, who have fought back into contention after having been counted out more times than a glass-chinned fighter.

With Ihe Pelicans' season-open er just three days away, McGin- nis reported that he had lost three and possibly four of his leading gridders. Last year the injury bug which hit the Pels harder than any of their gridiron opponents, waited until the season had at least opened. But not so for '56. McGinnis announced that he has lost the services of halfback Tom my "T-Model" Farrell for the en tire 'teason because of a torn knee. At first the Pel coaching staff had hoped that Farrell would be rea dy after a rest, but doctor's or ders will sideline the 170-pound back for the whole year. Another blow to the KU club was the loss of fullback candi date Dick Dougherty, a 168-pound- er who was figuring high in Mc Ginnis' plans for the coming sea son. Dougherty will not be avail able to the Pelicans because of a scholastic deficiency. The com bined loss of Farrell and Dough erty leaves KUIIS without serv ices of two experienced ball car riers and two of their heaviest runners. Charles Carlson, junior non-let- terman. who was slated to take over front-line duties in the Peli can forward wall, will be out for three to six weeks because of a ruptured kidney suffered in last Saturday evening's "Red-While" game.

That was the quote issued by head coach Rex Hunsaker as the Oregon Tech Owls completed their first day of football practice Tues day night at the Mile High Cam pus practice field. Hunsaker, who s ciud tost eigne and. won none last season, was very impressed with the boys, mostly freshmen, who greeted the Tech coaching staff with fire and "will to play ball."- Thirty-five gridders turned out for the open ing call, but only six of the re turning nine lettermen were on hand, which means Tech will again have to rely upon flrst-vear foot ballers to hold up the OTI Inter ests In the nine-game 1956 sched ule . Included in the turnout were let termen backs Harry Jnul and Don Stonehlll and linemen Wes Par rish, Charles F.ccelston, Al Van Leuven and Allen Jones. All of the linemen are ends, but Jones may be moved to guard to aid in building the Tech line forces. Chnrles Honman and Dave Lock- ard, two 1955 letter winners have not been heard from according to Hunsaker and last year's fullback, Frank Dunn reported to OTI offi cials that he will be late in arriving. The will to play ball was the most gratifying feature of Tues day's workouts, and Hunsaker said that alone is a great Improvement of last season's club. "We may not have full-fledged college boys because of their freshman status," Hunsaker added, but they sure act like they want to play ball and above all, win." Looking extremely sharp In the backfield in the first drills were quarterback Robert Stoy and half back Tom Carrion, a 155-pounder who runs like a jack rabbit and hits with the drive of a sledge hammer. Both boys are freshmen prospects from Pennsylvania. Line men showing plenty ol grid savvy at the first look were guard Frank Wilson and tackle Tom Wylie. Tech opens Us season at home on September 15. a week from Saturday, against Ricks College of Idaho. The Klamath Falls Lions Club will supervise the ticket sales for the first game, and will be on the streets selling ducats next week. Fights TUESDAY'S FIGHTS By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS STOCKTON.
