Ijralbatt By CLAYTON HANNON I Herald-Newt Sports Editor The Oregon Tech Owls and Klamath Union Pelicans both' de parted this morning for football action tonight and Saturday after noon in their respective conference races, and with the leaving of the Tech squad comes news that ath letic director and head football coach Rex Hunsaker expelled four of his first-string ball players on the eve of the trip. ' Tonight the Pels meet Medford in a Southern Oregon Conference clash starting at 8:15 on the Med ford turf, and the penalty-stricken Owls face Eastern Oregon College Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock in the Mounties homecoming game of the year at La Grande. (Hunsaker announced late Thurs day that he had expelled four starters, including both of his tackles and the number one set of halfbacks, which of course will hurt Tech's- chances of stopping their OCC rival. Those given the "boot" by Hunsaker were tackles Tom Wylie and Richard Perllck, and halfbacks Tommy Carion and (Jarl Pastore. All four of the boys, Pennsyl vania high school graduates last spring, were lifted from the team and school for disciplinary rea sons and their failure to attend classes, according to Hunsaker. The foursome had been warned about class attendance, and re porting regularly for football practice. In making the shocking an- CLAYTON HANNON SPORTS EDITOR M.

If he can't go to classes and get his school work, then he -can't play football for me. I regret losing these four boys," the Tech coach added, "but it is something that we will not stand for." Harry Juul and Al "Little Tiger" Everson will probably replace Pastore and Carion in the halfback slots, while Norm Kollen should fill one of the tackle berths. The second vacated line spot is still open, and promises to be a task for Hunsaker and line coach George Miller to fill with their al- ' V' ready "depth-lacking" squad. , This will be the eighth -meeting V." between OTI and EOCE on the.; : gridiron. In past games, Tech , . holds the edge, 6-1. Last year's '. 27-6 defeat at the hands of the Mounties was the first time East ern Oregon was able to outscore the Owls from the Mile High Campus. In 1951, Tech set a con ference scoring record by beating the Mountaineers 73-0. Both teams have the same 2-2 record for the season, but the La Grande collegians are 1-0 for OCC play, while Tech has dropped its only game in conference ac tion. Last week Portland State dumped Tech 39-14, while EOCE was handling Oregon College of Education 20-12. For John McGinnis' KUHS Peli cans, the spirit is high, and so are the odds that Medford will not fall for the first time this year. While the Pelicans are 2-3 for their pre- league season, Medford has rapped four foes tor one-sided vic tories, and held the defending state champion, Marshfield, to a 20-20 deadlock. Before leaving this morning, McGinnis reported his club to be in the best mental condition of the season. "If spirit alone would win a ball game, then we'll come home with the biggest, .unset, "of the year," the Pel coach said. '.'We know that Medford 'has a ''great club, but our kids -will let Uiem know they were in a ball game before this thing if over," Medford was held to a 13-13 tie last year in a , thrilling Modoc Field battle as Butch Kimpton caught a last-second touchdown pass to tie the Tornadoes, who wore the district, crown in lass.

Medford's offense will be led by halfbacks Eldon Francis, Gary Riley and Gordon Owsley, a trio of break-a-way runners with plen ty of grid savy. At fullback, coach Fred Speigelberg will have t h e services of Bob Gee and Lo r e n Christean. Francis has averaged 6.9 yards per carry this year in 51 tries. Christean has a 16.2 av erage in 15 carries. Riley and Ows ley have both averaged over six yards in 27 and 21 carries respec tively. Medford's big line could fell the difference in a game that is ex pected to be marred by mud and possibly a few showers. The Tor nado lien will average 186 pounds compared to 175 for the Pels. In the backfield, Medford's foursome will scale in at 162 and KUHS' opening backs will average . 157 pounds. CHICAGO m Bob Scheffing. who directed Los Angeles to the Pacific Coast League pennant this, year, was named field man ager Friday of the last-place Chi cago Cubs, 'succeeding Stan Hack. bcheffings appointment by the new-general manager, John Hol land; Completed a reorganization ot the cub front omce and Held leadership started Thursday with three top level resignations and naming , of two new vice presi dents. '. Scheffing, " 41, a former Cub catcher, and Holland, as general manager, worked together as an executiveJield boss team at Los Angeles this year. Scheffing had taken ' the Los Angeles job May 25, .1955, after serving as a Cub coach in 1954 and part of 1955 under Hack, who resigned Thursday along with per sonnel director Wid Matthews and business manager Jim Gallagher. Holland announced that Schef fing was signed to ir one year contract and will take charge of the club immediately. ' ' Returning to his third hitch with the club is Charlie Grimm. Joining him in the reorganized front office is John Holland, In baseball 35 of his 46 years and on the Cub pay roll the last 11. . They were given titles of vice president. Holland, as president of the Cubs' Los Angeles farm in the Pa cific Coast League, and Scheffing as field manager, produced a pen nant this year. Remaining as executive vice president of the Cubs Is another veteran,, 75-year-old Clarence (Pants) Rowland. They Have the assignment of lifting the Cubs up by the boot straps after 10 dismal seasons in the National League second divi sion. The Cubs finished 1956 In last place for the fourth time since 1949 and with 94 defeats, worst record in their history. Matthews was Branch Rickey s "talent man" with the St. Louis Cardinals and the Brooklyn Dodg ers when Cub owner P. K. Wrig ley hired him in 1950. He is i smiling, 59-year-old gentleman who sincerely thought the Cubs were on the climb and received the brunt of criticism when they kept taiispinnlng. No sooner had Wid resigned than Gabe Paul, general manager of the Cincinnati Redlegs, said that he "is a very capable fellow and we d like to have him in our or ganization." Gallagher, a former Chicago sports writer, had been with the Cubs since 1940. One rumor has him winding up across town with the White Sox. Hack was a long-time third baseman for the Cubs and man aged the Des Moines and Los An gelcs farm clubs before replacing one of his former teammates, Phil Cavarretta, at the helm in the spring of 1954. He was the Bruins' fourth manager in eight years. Key man in the new order ap pears to be Holland, a stocky mildmanncred man who cut his teeth on a baseball bat. Griffith Has Eyes On Switch WASHINGTON 11 Calvin Griffith said Thursday he would seek to persuade President WiU Harridge of the American League , to keep an open mind on a pos sible franchise shift for the Wash ington Senators, Harridge said in Chicago the league "could pot afford" to call a meeting to consider transfer of the franchise unless there was harmony among Washington pfU- , cials. .. . That was a reference to the statement by H. Gabriel Murphy, club treasurer and largest single stockholder, that he opposes any plan to move the Senators out or Washington and will fight it in the courts if necessary. . Murphy owns 40 per cent of; the Washington baseball club stock. Members of the family of the late Clark Griffith control 52 per. cent. Calvin Griffith, the club president, . has said he is seriously weighing a shift to Los Angeles or some other city. The deadline for any franchise shift to become effective next year is Oct. 31. Harridge said ; there would be nothing n gain if Griffith asked fellow club owners to take up the matter "unless all i stockholders were represented in the request." We don t want to get In the same situation we did when a fam lly squabble hampered the trans- -fer of the Philadelphia A'l to Kansas City," Harridge said, al luding to the most recent Amer lean League shift two years ago. - Griffith said In an interview :- 'this is a different situation" than' that which marked the Athletic! move, and that he planned to ask Harridge not to foreclose the pos- sibility of a league meeting. - A franchise shift requires fa vorable votes from six of the eight clubs in the loop. Griffith, said he would be ex-. tremely reluctant to leave the cap ital but felt bound to study offers "which might be advantageous" ; irom los Angeies; Ban r rancisco, Louisville or other cities. He add ed that no concrete written plant had been , submitted and said mat when one is he will call the club's five-man board of directors to con- . sider it.
