"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.

the coaches.
Andy Knudsen "Most of the

department it s an entirely dif

Jim lnglcsoy "We will undoubt

Hob Johnson (of the s o p h o

A pair of newcomers strength

Herb Elliott Amazes Experts,
Smashes Another World Mark
GOF.TBORG. 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.

WASHINGTON (AP) The
Washington baseball situation has
suddenly become the Minneapolis
muddle.
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."

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. These replace

sity and IH junior varsity players.
Nixon believes that while losing
some heavy linemen from last
year's team, his eager, faster, and
more enthusiastic replacements
will make the squad as formidable
as a year ago
The fall schedule has not been
completed, but will be published
soon.

Aldermen
Extend
Invitation
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Min-
leapolis aldermen voting approv
al of a stadium-enlarging bond is
ue. handed the Washington Sena
ors a nine - million - dollar invita-
ion today to bring their Ameri
can League franchise here.
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.

WICHITA. Kan. (AP) Two un

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

league teams.

third inning on Lane's homer. Ca
sa Grande tied the score in the

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)
