from f he The news of Don Megale's resignation of his Klamath Union High School basketball coaching job came as a sudden and unexpected bit of news for most people. The Pelican basketball and tennis coach has left the KU ath letic staff to take a position as an assistant professor of of physical education at Oregon State College. The resignation takes effect September 1. Megale's resignation puts KUHS school officials in a slight bind with the opening of the school year so close at hand. The basketball job is not the big problem facing school leaders, but the task of filling Megale's classroom assignment at this late time will take some figuring. Athletic Director Jim Johnson said Saturday he wasn't sure what action would be taken on the bas ketball job. If a new coach is named, it seems certain that Dean White, present Klamath Union High assistant coach, would be the candidate holding the inside track. There is also a chance that the job may be held open one year to enable a longer search for a replacement. With the resignation of Megale, White will become the sole "vet eran" of the KUHS coaching staff. Don and Dean have completed two years on the Pelican staff, with White now the old hand. All other coaches have just one full season behind them now. White, who handled the sum mer recreation basketball pro cram as well as directing the Peli can varsity baseball team, would be our choice to fill the opening, He has all the qualifications to succeed Megale and what's more important he works very well with boys. It's for sure he knows his bas ketball and knows how to put over the fundamentals of the sport his jayvee and freshman teams of the past nave shown tnai mucn There was some unofficial spec ulation when Megale's announce ment was made that Oregon State .hoped to lure big Glenn Moore, the Klamath t ails two-time all state basketball star away from the University of Oregon campus Moore has said he plans to enroll at Oregon this fall, and will com plete a summer school session at the Eugene scnooi next rriaay. It is doubtful if the implications on a so-called package deal with Megale and Moore both going to OSC are fact. It is also doubtful If Moore leaves the Oregon cam pus, regardless of Megale's new post. The ex-Pelican sensation is reportedly very happy with the U of 0 and is not expected to change over just because his ex- high school coach of one year made the move. Oregon State hired a new track coach earlier this year in Sam Bell. But the ex-Cottage Grove football and track coach didn't Basinettes Drop From State Action M E D F O R D (AP) Hillsboro, Eugene and Rogue Valley all sur vived Saturday night's round of the Oregon Women's Softball tour nament here. Rogue Valley defeated Eugene to remain the only undefeated squad. It will play the winner of Sunday afternoon's contest be tween Eugene and Hillsboro. Hillsboro advanced by Saturday defeating Klamath Falls 5-4 and then dumping Madras 5-2. All the Saturday losers with the exception of now once-beaten Eugene were dropped from the double elimination tourney. In the first Saturday games, Madras defeated Salem 3-2 and Hillsboro dropped Klamath Falls 5-4. The losers thus were bounced out of the tourney. Rogue Valley remained the tour ney's only undefeated team by beating Eugene 7-2 Saturday night. Rogue Valley took advantage of 10 walks in its victory over Eu gene, but its big hit was a two run triple by Dianne Wall. .. Two errors, two walks and two hits gave Madras all of its runs, in the sixth inning. Jackie Rod dewig singled home one of Sa lem's runs and moments later got the other by racing home on a passed ball. Betty Heikkila was walked home with the winning run to give Hills boro its narrow triumph over Klamath Falls. Eugene tripped Klamath Falls 4-2 and Rogue Valley downed Salem 7-1 in Friday night's games Earlier Friday, Madras defeated Astoria 4-2 and Hillsboro edged Irving 2-1.

Sev eral of Marshfield s leading foot ball stars were supposed to head north with Susick. But Susick back down from the Washington job and the No. 1 boy the Huskies were after Roger Johnson went to Oregon State instead. We received a letter from John McGinnis, ex-KUIIS football and baseball coach late this week. John informs us he watched the Los Angeles Rams work out at their Redlands training camp and John Witte and Jack Morris looked outstanding. Morris the fastest rookie in camp, sparked the Rams' defen sive backfield play in an inter squad game. Witte played defen sive right tackle and was in on lots of action. Morris is the former Medford high and University of Oregon fullback and linebacker, while Witte is a KUHS grad and Oregon State College ail-American. This is Morris' first try at pro football. Witte has one year of Canadian pro grid duty behind him. McGinnis also informs . us he is taking a coaching-teaching job at a new high school in Riverside, California. This past year McGin nis has coached at Colton, near San Bernardino. John had a cham pionship junior varsity baseball team at Colton this year, winning 15 of 17 games. He was offered the head baseball job next year, but turned it down because of the better position at Riverside. It seems the fathers of the school even went as far as to present a petition to keep McGinnis around, but to no avail. It just goes to prove that when "old coaches" leave Klamath Un ion High School, . they don't die. They have successful seasons in years to follow.

NW Babe Ruth Ball Crown Up For Grabs BY WAYNE SCOTT and CLAYTON HANNON Herald-News Sports Writers Washington's high-flying South King County and Ore gon's smooth - working Southeast National of Portland moved into the championship game of the 1958 Pacific Northwest Regional Babe Ruth League Baseball Tourna ment at Gem Stadium Saturday night. Washington blistered Wyoming 18-3 in the second game after Portland blanked Idaho 11-0. The losses elimi nated the two losers. The championship game is scheduled for 2 o'clock Sunday aft ernoon at Gem. Originally, the game was billed for 7 p.m., but tournament officials have changed the time for the convenience of the competing teams and fans. If a second game is necessary, it will be played immediately following. Washington is the only unde feated team in the tournament, winning three straight games. Portland's Southeast National has won three and lost one. One more loss will dump the Portland team and give Washington the regional title and a spot in the World Series of Babe Ruth League play lo be held August 18-24 in Van couver, British Columbia. Wyoming Bows Washington romped off to a four run lead in the first frame and never looked back as they bombed Wyoming 18-3 to run their unbeat en string to three straight and wind up in the final game against Oregon this afternoon. The Washingtonians got to three Wyoming hurlcrs for a total of 15 hits while their own pitcher, George Lcvar went all the way allowing only four Wyoming hits. Levar fanned 10 men and walked three. The Washington hit barrage up set the Wyoming club to the point lhat they committed seven errors. while the Seattclitcs made only one miscue Bob Woodard was the big man at the plate for the Washington club as he collected four hits in six trips to the plate, one of which was double. Catcher Jack Hanson added three singles in three trips and pitcher Levar contributed a double to help with the win. the balance of the Washington attack was spread throughout the lineup Shortstop Gary Kopsa picked up two of the Wyoming hits as he smashed a double and a single. Mel Lovato and Jim Mcintosh were responsible for the other two singles. The Wyoming club scored once in the bottom of Hie first and picked up two in a shortlived surge in the third before being closed out. Washington counted five in the second stanza, three in each the fifth and the sixth and garnered one more (or good measure in the top of the seventh. The luckless Wyoming hurlers gave up 13 walks and fanned six. Starter Jim Jesscn was the loser although he worked only two thirds of an inning before being lifted in favor of John Colligan. Colligan was relieved in the sixth by Lar ry Abcyta. Abeyta gave up three hits and struck out four in his last stand.

Oregon Victor Gary Sanders, a burly 15-year- old righthander from Southeast Portland, handcuffed the Idaho slate champions with a neat two- hit pitching effort in Saturday night's first game. Sanders' mound work led to Idaho's downfall that eliminated the Kellogg club. Sanders gave up a second inning single to Idaho pitcher Gary Amos, but a double play cut Amos down at second. The other hit off the Portlander was a seventh inning pinch-hit single by Oren Frold Sanders struck out six and walked four. He allowed runners to reach third twice, but got out of both spots without any damage. Portland s entry in tho regional playoff opened up the game with three runs in the last of the first in-what was more than enough for the win. An error, walk, bonny Payne's double and Terry Law rence's single pushed across the three Oregon scores. Amos kept Portland away from the scoring column in the second and third, but in (he fourth five Oregon runners dented home plate. Clint Fitzhugh's leadoff triple was the big hit of the inning. It was the third three-base rap for the Portland outfielder in two games The other three Portland scores came in the sixth on two hits, a pair of walks and a Kellogg er ror. Varnel Phillips and Dwight Daniels got the two base hits for Oregon in their last scoring eflort. Payne led the winners with three hits in four trips plus getting four HBIs. Phillips had two hits and Daniels three, one a double. Boxcore: inAlin AR-fl RBI 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 B-0 0 0 0-0 0-0 0-0 Coe.

Klamath Falls and Weed are tied for the lead, but the Kubs face a (ouch test, while Weed has breather on hand. Klamath travels to Yrcka to meet the Indians in another crucial Northern California League game. Weed takes on last place Dunsmuir in a game sched uled for Weed. Third-place Mount Shasta draws fifth place Scott Valley in the other league game this afternoon.

Klamath will probably have righthander Gerry Burcher on the mound to face Yrcka this after noon. Burcher whipped Weed 13-2 in a game last Sunday at Klamath. Burcher now has won two of three decisions since joining the Kubs mid-way in the season. The lone loss was handed down by the tour ing Cuban Giants. A win for Klamath would keep the Kubs in the thick of the fight wiih Weed and Mount Shasla who are expected to come out wilh victories. But a loss by Klamath would all but eliminate the Kubs from the NCL title race. Just like Klamath, Weed and Mount Shasta arc also in "must' games this week, but Iheir tasks arc a little bit easier.
