' j7 !r J L t . . 1 record Sunday afternoon when NtJrSy C TjCryi J s 1 le"' coac'1 ex Hunsa'!er 'ssues Officials in t'ae Pacific Coast southland are doing a good job of hushing up the recent UCLA vs. University of California battle royal over illegal recruiting. But before the door was completely closed on the matter, a few southern sports writers, who for the past few years have been feasting on the Northwest schools, got in a couple of good licks. UCLA's head football coach George Dickerson roared into the office of Cal coach Pete Elliott a couple of weeks ago charging the. Berkeley campus with trying to lure away a prospective Uclan. This unscheduled meeting brought about charges and counter-charges that rocked the Pacific Coast with a real fine "family tight." Hank Hollingworth and Bob Kelley of the Long Beach Press Telegram broke out this week with some pointed remarks directed at Dickerson, who had the head coaching job at UCLA less than a week after the death of Red Sanders when the trouble brewed. Says Hollingworth in his column "Sports Merry-Go-Round": "His (Dickerson) ridiculous storming of the California garrison at Berke leywherein he took apart the Golden Bear recruiting agency for a practice that UCLA and ev ery other major university has been doing for years is an un precedented action. . Hollingworth goes on: "The crazy part of this whole tangle is that Dickerson has been a head foot ball coach only a few days. What right has such a neophyte leader to vent his wrath upon another university especially when the so- called nefarious practices of which he accuses that university have been part and parcel of his own school's football resurgence?" From Kelley's "Bob Kelley Says": "I can't believe Dickerson cooked up the entire 'Invasion El liott' himself. He is a sounder man than to pull a trick so far be neath the dignity of a head foot ball coach. "It is my guess that Sam the Bruin Publicity Man poured a lit tle coal on the fire. Sam is a per ennial UCLA sophomore, whose zeal for his alma mater usually outweighs his good judgment." Kelley also raps Dickerson's pub lic relation education after George took one newsman with him on his trip, and left six' others at home. "I like George Dickerson," Kel ley says, "but for his own good. 'Red-White' Battle Ends In 13-13 Knot Klamath Falls football fans got preview of things to come dur ing the 1958 Klamath Union High football schedule as the Pelicans, split into two teams, battled to a 13-13 tie in the annual Red and White game on Modoc Field Sat urday night. The Whites, coached by Jim Inglesby, broke the scoring Ice in the first period as sophomore quarterback Jack Riley counted from the five on a sneak and John Hancock, newly converted to a fullback, booted the try for point. The Reds, under the direction of Jack Peterson, narrowed the gap in the second quarter as the strong right arm of quarterback Blake Griggs fired a pair of consecu ' live strikes that were good for a total of 55 yards and culminated in a touchdown as Estin K i g e r hauled down the last one in the end zone. . In the fourth quarter the Whites stretched their margin as halfback Eon Olvera scooted around the right end for a six-p!ter after he and teammete Cliff P a 9 g h had alternated ii taamg tie aol on a 50 yara aaorca.

One more parting Item on Dickerson, who Is still resting up from a "nervous upset" earlier this past week. From a UCLA publication intro ducing Dickerson to the public comes this one sentence which describes him: "He is the 'quiet man who carries the big stick.' " This article must have been writ ten on the other side of Dickerson another Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Oregon Tech picked up a pros pective football star and cheer leader this past week. Former OTI football star Al Van Leuven was presented with an lb. bouncing baby boy by his wife this past week. Al was picked to the all-American Junior College football team as an end two years ago and played in the East-West national JC all-star game in Jack son, Mississippi. i OTI letlerman end Dale McCul- loch, a former Merrill High star, became the father of a daughter this week.

Sunday, September 7, 1958 Pirates Chicago PITTSBURGH (AP) - Johnny Powers' pinch home run in the eighth inning earned the Pitts burgh 'Pirates their second, straight victory over the Milwau kee Braves 7-6 Saturday.

For the remainder of the week, Hun saker and his aides line coach George Miller and backfield coach Ralph Carr have planned to use two-a-day workouts with evening meetings scheduled for chalk talks. Hunsaker reported he expects at least 50 boys to draw gear this afternoon, 15 of these be ing returning lettermen from last year's squad and several other top-notch junior college standouts who are transferring here this fall. A few other prospects may check in later this week and could swell the number of the turnout to BO, one of the largest opening week groups to assemble at the Mile High Campus. While Hunsaker willingly admits this could be "the year," he re serves comment that the Owls are also tackling the toughest schedule ever undertaken by a OTI squad, For the first time in Oregon Tech's 10-year football .history, the Owls will not face a single junior col lege opponent. This year, t h e Tech schedule is loaded with all four-year schools and service teams. While Hunsaker is pleased with the player personnel, he is wary of tackling such major independent schools as Westminster and Whit tier, the four other Oregon Col legiate Conference members and three service teams the caliber of Hamilton Air Base, Moffit Air Base and Malstrom Air Base. These nine games, five of which are scheduled for Modoc Field, arc undoubtedly the toughest ever as sembled for one season by OTI. Leading the way through this afternoon's equipment issue will be last year s team captain and all-conference guard Allan Jones. Back with Jones will be another all-conference guard, Frank Wil son. Other lettermen linemen in clude centers Armund Mayzell and Ralph Norgaard guard Gary Wirth. tackles Jack Bitzer, Dick Hill and Ralph Jones and ends Dale McCulloch and Norman Hoop Returning backfield veterans are quarterback Charlie Gantcr and fullback Bel'on Ollison, a pair ol two year letter winners, and half backs At "Tiger Everson and Al lan Leach. Except for halfback Rich Paka- la, Hunsaker could field last year s starting lineup. Ten of last sea son s 11 starters will be back in cluding Hooper and McCulloch at end, Wilson and Jones at guard, Mayzell at center and Hill and Bitzer at tackle. In the back field during the 1957 season was Gantcr at quarter, Everson at half and Ollison at fullback. A fact that pleases Hunsaker at this time is that several of these returning lettermen will be facing tough fights in keeping their num ber one rating. Several of the in coming junior college transfers are expected to give thp holdover let termen lots of competition for the starting jobs. All of which makes for good team moral and hustle. Hunsaker is pointing to this year to bring his over-all coaching rec ord at OTI above the .500 level. Hunsaker, who has been head foot ball coach at Oregon Tech since 1950, has won 34, lost 37 and tied two in eight years of directing the Owls. A winning season with this year s edition of the Owls could push his record above the 50-50 split. The all-time Oregon Tech record, for nine completed years, is 36-42- 3. Most of the games played the past nine seasons have been against four-year schools while Tech has been classed as a junior college, or two-year institution. The Oregon Tech Owl Hoots booster club, is handling the ad vance season ticket sale. So far the response has been very good and an increase is expected with in the next two weeks prior to the Tech opener September 20 against Westminster at Salt Lake City. The first home game for the Owls is set for September 27, against Hamilton Air Base, one of the top-ranked service teams in the nation. The season tickets this year arc being sold as an "all-sports" tick et. This ticket includes a reserved seat during lootball season and ad mission to all OTI home sporting events during the 1958-59 school year. The price of the ticket is $12.50, a savings of $7.50 on just football and basketball games alone. Tickets can be purchased by phoning Hunsaker at TU 2-3466. LOST FOR SEASON BLAIRSTOWN, N. J.
