Oregon Tech Owls Collect from fa. Win From Westminster u CLAYTON HkHHOH You can't say Oregon t-'r. SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH Tech athletic director and head football coach Rex Hun- saker is out to cut a perfect record in football. In fact, one might wonder just how serious Hunsaker is taking this game of pigskin nightmares. Here's Hunsaker with the making of a very fine ball club. Probably more individual talent on this club than on any other OTI football team in the history of the Mile High Campus. But yet he might not equal the record set by last year's team or another OTI squad a few years back with a 50-50 season or better. Why? Mainly because Hunsaker has lined up the toughest array of opponents ever to meet an OTI team. There are very few small colleges especially one that has just thrown off the capo of a junior college who will be meeting three service teams and two of the west's top small college football clubs, plus having a rugged conference slate to meet. In yesterday afternoon s game here with Westminster, which Ore gon Tech won, Hunsaker sent his club against one of the top foot ball teams in the Rocky Moun tains small college class. West minster had been undefeated in 12 straight games going into the game and had not been scored upon in the last seven. This coming Saturday at Modoc Field, the Owls open their home schedule against Hamilton A i r Base. The defenders from the Bay Area are like most service teams loaded with everything but the kitchen sink. Hamilton has several boys who were all-Americans in their college days, others who have played pro football and even one gridder who was the first draft choice of the Green Bay Packers in 1956. Moffett and Malstrom Air Bases will be loaded the same. These service teams are classed as semi pro outfits, and you wouldn't be exaggerating too much to call them pro. Whittier College, the Owls last opponent on the slate is an NCAA member and plays big college rules. Whittier is classed as one of California's leading "small" college powers. And to top it off, the Oregon Col legiate Conference in which the Owls hold membership is fastly becoming an adult and is pushing the Northwest Conference, the old pro" of northwest small college athletics. By this, one can see that if Hun saker and his staff come through by winning five or six of nine games, it should be received as a real fine football year at Oregon Tech. Or even four victories wouldn't be bad. And we know some people who would consider Hunsaker for the Coach of the Year title 'should his team win just one game that against Oregon College of Education, the team that has never lost in football to OTf. Our own personal feelings fav or Hunsaker's action. We would rather watch a ball game where OTI is beaten (should they lose vv DAN McGUIRE ... fine 49er yearbook game) by a real good ball club man to watch a fine Tech club manhandle, slaughter or humiliate a junior college or smaller school which would have been the case had Hunsaker decided not to schedule the tougher opponents, it s a real test for OTI in its first year in four-year classifica tion, and we feel almost certain that the sports fans of the Klam- atn Basin will soon find out that they are about to see some very nne college brand football. And this year, a little pro mifiht he sprinxiea among the action. On the subject of OTI football comes these two notes, one serious, ine outer humorous. I. Oregon Tech football prospect Dale Perkins was injured and told by a doctor that he was throueh for the year. But the Oregon City youtn didn't give up, he went1 straight to coach Rex Hunsaker and asked if he could manage the club this -year. The answer was a very strong yes.

The Klamath f ans collegians from the mile high campus, play ing their first game of the season. turned in a 6-0 win over the very potent Westminster College Par sons, one of the high-ranking small colleges in the Rocky Moun tain area.

Oregon, a defending PCC co- champion, had trouble with Ida ho's bulky line in the first three periods. But the Ducks amassed three quick scores in the final quarter, .

Braves Clinch NL Pennant Tie: Hoyt Wilhelm Twirls No Hitter BALTIMORE (AP) The Amer ican League champion New York Yankees went without a hit or run Saturday against the knuckle balls tossed by 35-year-old Hoyt Wil lielm of the Baltimore Orioles, who won 1-0 on a homer by catch er Gus Triandos. Only two Yankees reached base, both on walks, as they swung fu tilely at Wilhelm's dancing pitch es in a drizzle of rain. Eight times Yankees went down on strikes. The homer in the seventh in ning by Triandos as his 30th of the season. He is tied with Yogi Berra of the Yankees for hitting the most in one year by a catcher- Orioles 1, NY 0 Wilhelm s no -hit, no -run per formance was the second in the major leagues this year. Jim Bun- ring of Detroit did it on July 20 beating Boston, 3-0. Don Larsen, pitcher of a per fect World Series game in 1956, started for the Yankees and for six innings he was almost as in vincible as Wilhelm. A bunt single in the first in bing by Bob Boyd was the only Oriole hit off Larsen. Two other Orioles reached base on a walk and an error by Bill Skowron. Bobby Shantz went to the mound for the Yankees and Tri andos, a former Yankee, sent his fourth pitch sailing over the 410 foot sign on the center field fence.

Paul Grover threw a short swing pass to Herman McKinney, who cut to the center of the field. Be hind excellent blocking, he dash ed 62 yards for the score. Oregon's line generally outplay ed Idaho's in the final period. And t,he final touchdown by the Ducks was an indication of their superiority. Idaho had taken a kickoff from Oregon, and tried to run a play from its own lo-yard line. Oregon linemen poured through after Gary Farnworth who was trying to pass. He was driven back, and finally was tackled in the end zone by Riley Mattson. The ball squirted out of Farn- worth's hands, and Oregon's Tony Inferrera fell on it for the touch down. One of the game's surprises came as Oregon amassed 218 yards rushing against an Idaho line that averaged 220 pounds from tackle to tack.e It was the heaviest line in Idaho history, but the Vandals were able to gain only 30 yards- on the ground. The other surprise was that Ore gon coach Len Casanova used his second team much of the time and it figured in most of the scoring. Grover, a second-team member nlaved most of the game at quar- tnrhnek. And McKinnev. who had a hand in two score was a com plete surprise in the game not evon being listed among the first three squads. The game drew 14,200 fans.

Redskins Tumble Panthers By JOHN NOLEN Herald-News Sports Writer Jacksonville's Redskins from the Rogue River Valley combined their efforts last night at Gem Stadium as they fought back the determined Chiloquin Panthers in non-league battle, 19-6. Coached by Dea Cox, the Red skins scored twice in the first quarter. With five minutes gone. quarterback Doyle Bransom threw 10 yard jump pass to end Ken Penniard capping a 57 yard drive. With only 37 seconds remaining in the first stanza, Bransom sneaked over from two yards out. Halfback Ron Davis plunged over for the extra point, giving Jack sonville the lead, 13-0. Chiloquin scored their only touchdown with six and one-half minutes remaining in the second quarter when halfback John Ochoa sliced over from six yards out. The Panther's scoring drive was aided by fullback Ron Hog- garth's short plunges and Ochoa's long scampers: one for 23 yards Jacksonville s Davis led his team to its final TD in the last period as he capped a 40 yard drive with a one yard plunge. His short runs accounted for 24 yards during the scoring drive. Coach Gordy Kuist s Panthers got their hands on the ball twice more before time ran out but on each occasion the Redskins held them in check.

The score marked the first points chalked up against the Salt Lake City School in eight games. The past seven games have found the Parsons blanking their opponents. With the Owl's season opener out of the way, Hunsaker's club returns to Klamath Falls today to prepare for next Saturday night's non-league clash with the star studded Hamilton Air Base de fenders at Modoc Field. The Owls game with Hamilton will official ly open the OTI 1958 home season and a large crowd is expected to be on hand to see the Owls go against the defenders who will be packing several former AU-Amer- lcan and pro football stars. In Saturday afternoon's big vic tory, it was a defensive battle from start to finish, but the big Tech line and talented secondary proved just a little bit too tough lor Westminster s feared power- running attack. In cold black fig ures the story of the game can oe told. 1. Westminster was held to a to tal of only 45 yards on the ground, and the Parson's running game is regarded tops among small col leges in this section of the coun try. 2. Oregon Tech, while scoring only oncci out-first downed the Parsons 14-7, or 2-1. The Owls garnered a total of 205 yards with their running attack, using small er, but speedier backs. And the remarkable thing that adds a little gold dust to the Owl s victory is the fact that they had only eight days of practice going into the game while West minster has been working out since August 26. The Parsons had two full weeks and a game over Tech going into the Saturday after noon game. Hunsaker and his aids line coach George Miller and back coach Ralph Carr had nothing but praise for his defensive unit, But while giving up praise for top defensive play, the Tech coaching tail also expressed amazement at the high and close-knit spirit that tied the club together. Linebacker Earl Kcsslcr, guard Frank Wilson and tackle Arnold Mctculf turned in brilliant games. End Dale McCulloch, the former Merrill High School star, turned back several Westminster plays with some savage tackling. The other Tech defensive end. Norm Hooper, and halfback Charlie Wil son played big parts in holding the Parson's ground game to "nothing." fullbacks Allen Leach and Earl Green both showed that the Owls can expect some fine run ning from both of them come this year. Leach, who scored the only touchdown, scored in the second quarter on a five-yard scoot around right end and into the cor ner of the end zone. Green ran up 50 net yards in 14 carries and showed lots of piston-like drive while on offense. Hunsaker also singled out quar terback Charlie Ganter who .di rected the team all the way. Gan ter, along with Allen Jones. Mot- calf, Wilson and Dick Hill played nearly all 60 minutes of the scrap with only one or two brief rest periods. lechs winning score came in the second quarter with 9:40 left to play in the half. After McCul loch had broken through and thrown Westminster quarterback John Rooks for an eight yard loss, the Parsons tried a sneak quick kick, but it backfired. When half back Ray Valentine tried to get Ihe kick away from a straight T-formation, one of his own block ers was pushed back into him and the ball bounced into the air. Alert OTI end Ralph Norgaard picked up the free ball on the 33 and raced to the 25 before he was downed. From here It took four plays for the score. Otis Foster gained two to the 23 and Green, on two carries. bulled his way to the five yard line and a first down. On the next play. Leach took a pitchout from Gan ter and circled his own right end tor the remaining yardage. Leach was knocked out of bounds just after crossing into paydirt, a sec ond too late. The Owls seemed to be list less in the first quarter with Westminster controlling the ball most of the time. The second and third quarter were better for OTI, and the fourth. period even with out another score was almost all Tech. The longer the game went. the tougher the Owl s defensive play came. In the final 15-minute quarter, Oregon Tech drove to the West minster 30 yard line twice and at the game's final horn the ball was on the Parsons 21 after Tech started a march from their own 43 just minutes before on a pass interception by Leach. Another pass interception by Leach cut down a serious West minster scoring threat in the third quarter. The Parsons drove from the OTI 43 to the 16. when the Owl defensive back hauled down a pass by Rooks and the Westmin ster machine was stalled one again by Tech.
