AUGUST 29. 1958 Braves Nail 4-1 Series; NY Dopes Magic Numbers ";a R AUKv N R TFS By WAYNE "Hustle" Ik the keyword on Modoc Field, both morning and after noon since 1958 Pelican football prartit started Monday morning. According to coach Andy Knudsen, the straighlcst Hue between two points ... Is a dead run. And the coaches keep up, most of (he time. From the time the boys hit the Held at 9 a.m. until the time they sprint for the field house at 11 (or thereabouts), one thing they don't do ... is rest. In scrimmage practices (he first one was held Wednesday morn ing it hasn't been at all unusual for the squad to get two or three chances just to move into their positions at the proper gait . . . and Mr. Knudsen isn't a bit hesitant in determining the proper "gait." NEW PELICAN COACHES & 9 1 f From the attitude displayed by the sweating, straining, "perpetual motion" Pels, no one really minds too much, since they all realize that the more rapidly they get in shape, the easier the rest of the season becomes. A casual glance from the side lines indicates that the sophomores hold a slight edge in the "hustle-go-go" department . . . and this is perfectly normal, too. After all, seniors and juniors do not neces sarily have a cinch on any start ing varsity slot. ... With the annual Red-While game a bare eight days away, competi tion is getting mighty keen lor positions and this writer's impres sion is that inherent ability, alone, in any senior, junior or soph, will not be enough to guarantee a boy a brth on Ihe first or second string. , . . So . . . hustle. Pelican IMS Football, as seen by the coaches. Andy Knudsen "Most of the hoy are greatly improved In their tackling. . . . Hut in the blocking department it s an entirely dif ferent picture." Jim lnglcsoy "We will undoubt edly do considerable shifting in (lie line, and noon.

It's not Something that can't he cured, however . . . and It will be . . . in a hurry." Hob Johnson (of the s o p h o morcs) "Sure, n lot of the boys lack experience, and (hat was to he expected, but the willingness lo work Is there and rcai, honest 'try' is hard to hen(." A pair of newcomers strength ening the Klamath Union coaching staff has already plunged into work with the football snund.

Sweden (AP) How fast can Herb Elliott run? That was the question track ex perts asked today after a world record-smashing 3:36 for I.tOO me fers by the lanky, 20-year-old Aus tralian. Many even refused to venture a guess as he preceded his almost incredible 1500 with a 3:54.5 mile at Dublin Aug. 6. The mile 1,760 yards. The 1500 meter is 1,- 640 yards, 1 foot, 4 inches. Some believe that Elliott will be the first to hbttcr 3:50 tor the mile. He has been under 4 min utes on eight occasions since bursting into the limelight late last January with a 3:59.4 mile at Melbourne. "No man must set a limit on his capabilities," he said of him self. "Nobody must be limited by what s around him.

Just when it seemed the Sena tors were on the verge of seeking a transfer to the Minnesota city. President Calvin Griffith said it wasn't so. He said the club's board of di rectors would make no move to ward Minneapolis at a meeting to day. "There definitely will not be any vole taken on moving the fran chise," he said. There had been widespread re ports that action would be taken on two fronts today to pave the way for Washington to try for re location in Minneapolis. The Minneapolis City Council Is expected to approve a nine-million dollar bond issue to finance an expansion of the city's stadium from 21,000 to 42,000 seating ca pacity. . Mayor P. Kenneth Peterson said he understood there was lo be si multaneous approval at both ends the okaying of the bond pro gram in Minneapolis and a favor able decision by (be Senators board on the transfer proposal. But Griffith said such wouldn't be the case. ' "If they're saying my announce ment that the ball club will move will be simultaneous with the ap proval of their bond issue, they're wrong." he said. "We've simply decided not to vote on any shift at this time." Nixon Welcomes Shasta Grjdders MOUNT SHASTA Fred Nixon. Mount Shasta High football coach, reports that he has eight returning veteran players lor his squad and V2 eager roplacemonls for gradu ates of last year.

Simultaneously the city council in adjacent St. Paul made a multi million-dollar offer of its own for an American League franchise. The rival plans climaxed a five year feud between the Twin Cities over where a big league baseball team should be located in this area. St. Paul councilmen approved a resolution pledging to issue enough revenue bonds to enlarge Ihe present Midway Stadium from 10,250 seats to 42,000 in the event a major league team signs a con tract to come to the city. Minneapolis' baseball committee has been saying for .weeks a ma jor league franchise is almost a sure thing for the city provided the council took the action it did today. i The Minneapolis bond proposal, which must be authorized by the city's Board of Estimates and Taxation to become legal, would take effect only if a major league club signs a contract to come to Minneapolis. News of the Minneapolis Coun cil vote, 11-2 for the bond issue hat would enlarge Metropolitan Stadium from a seating capacity of 21.000 to 41,000, was sent lo Senators President Cal Griffith in Washington, where the club's di rectors met today. In Washington, the Senators di rectors issued a statement alter their meeting saying they were putting off any action on a pos sible move to Minneapolis. American League regulations allow until Oct. 31 Tor a club to invade minor league territory, such as Minneapolis. Hunters Warned Of Rule Changes Grouse hunters are cautioned to read the state game regulations concerning the changes in the 1958 season. Jim Mohr, district game agent for the State Game Commis sion, said Thursday. During previous seasons, the east and west areas of Southern Oregon were divided by the sum nut of the Cascades. This year, Mohr points out, Main Street in Klamath Falls (U.S. High way 1)7 1 divides the cast and west areas. Highway 2.10, the Diamond Lake Highway, is the northern boundary. The grouse season opens on Sat urday. August 30, and runs through September 5 east of Highway 97. West of Highway 97. the season does not open until September 27 and runs through October 14.

The youthful Australian, whose method of training belies all ac cepted programs, gave credit to the fans in the stands for his rec ord.

(AP) Two un beaten teams collide here tonight in the National Non-Pro Baseball tournament, with the surprising Drain, Ore., Black Sox playing a spoiler s role. Drain pulled a shocker in fourth-round game Thursday night by defeating u.e Casa Grande, Ariz.. Cotton Kings, 4-2. Drain, the spectators' favorite and surprise team of the tourney, earned the right to meet the Al pine, Tex., Cowboys tonight. Nei ther team has lost a game in the tournament. In chalking up its Thursday night win the Oregon champions turned the tables on Casa Grande's ace pitcher, 17-year-old Phil Ortega. Lefty Don Land pitched a four hitter for the Black Sox and con tributed a third-inning home run lo boot. In besting Ortega the Drain club beat a young pitcher .who is being scouted by major league teams. Drain took a 2-1 lead m the third inning on Lane's homer. Ca sa Grande tied the score in the fifth but Drain rallied for two runs in the sixth to win. The runs came on two hits, two errors, a walk, a stolen base and a sacri fice.

TU 4-t7J qmf 30fh --s'!r -, Senators Face NY, Destiny By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The New York Yankees should finally get around to making Washington the first victim of the inevitable in the American League pennant "race" this weekend. The champs' magic number for officially eliminating the last-place Senators is three. Any combina tion of Yankee victories and-or Washington defeats totaling three does the job. The Yankees open a three-game set at Washington tonight. But if the Senators are doomed to be the first to go, they won't be alone very long. The number 17 for the Yankee pennant clinching over the second-place Chicago White Sox. The magic numbers that offi cially eliminate the rest of the league go like this: Boston. 16; Baltimore, 13; Detroit, 12; Cleve land and Kansas City, 9. By comparison, Milwaukee s pennant number in the National League is 21 after rapping third- place San Francisco 3-0 in the only game scheduled in either league yesterday. - All that looms ahead for the Y'ankees, who have been in first place since April 18, the fifth day of the season, is a job of getting their pitching back on the beam for the World Series. Which is an incredible thing, as Casey Stengel would say, when you figure his guys are UVs games out front. Fact is, the Yankees have a staff that has produced 48 com plete games this season (second only to Milwaukee's 57 in the ma jors), yet they've managed but 4 in 20 games over the past three weeks. Whitey Ford (14-7) will go to night against Pete Ramos (11-13) Elsewhere tonight, it's Detroit at Chicago, with the Tigers send ing Herb Moford (3-6) against Dick Donovan (10-12). Baltimore trying to shake off Detroit for a first-division finish, is at Boston. The Orioles have named Arnie Portocarrero (12-9) against Frank Sullivan (10-7) of the Red Sox, who are trying to catch Chicago. Cleveland (Gary Bell, 7-8) is at Kansas City (Ned Garver, 11-9) KU Gridders Get Last Opportunity All Klamath Union football players who as yet have not re ceived physical examinations may do so by appearing at the Modoc Field House at 6 o'clock tonight. The final chance to take physicals was originally sched uled for Thursday evening but was canceled at (lie Inst minute fcecause of an emergency. At 7:30 tonight on Modoc Field the KU gridders will work-out In exttinsive scrim mage drills. Head coach Andy Knudsen noted that this drill, under the lights, would be the stiffest to dale.
