SgS" CUYTOH HAVMOW "I wish the sports fans of Klamath Falls who turned out for our game Saturday night could realize how much the boys and myself appreciated the enthusiasm and support we received." That was Oregon Tech football coach Rex Hunsaker talking earlier this week as he reviewed Tech's 34-0 home opener defeat at the hands of Hamilton Air Base. The loss was probably the worst in OTI's history for a home opener, but in turn it was probably the best received OTI victory on the gridiron. "It's not every coach that gets patted on the back when his team is beaten by five touchdowns," Hunsaker remarked. "But those fans seemed to enjoy themselves and what's more important, they seemed to like the spirit the boys put forth while getting the h kicked out of them," the Owl mentor added. The crowd at the OTI-Hamilton game was the second largest pay ing football crowd in the history of the school. And it would have been a record breaker if a mistake hadn't been made in posting ad mission prices. But Oregon Tech's mistake was much to the benefit of the fans. ' The regular general admission price for OTI football games is $1.50. But Saturday night, these tickets sold for $1. The added 50 cents per person would have estab lished a new all-time paying at tendance record for the school. But despite the loss in revenue, Hunsaker was the happiest man in K&iath Falls Saturday night with the reception given his club by the townspeople. "They were great," Hunsaker added in speaking of the fans, "and you can bet your last dollar that the kids will give them the best football ever with that kind of support. You can guarantee it," the Owl athletic director and head football coach chipped in. While Hunsaker was so willing to credit the local sports fans for their interest in OTI football, we think the Oregon Tech student body should receive a large bou quet. Saturday night's student section was by far the greatest show of spirit in the history of the school, bar none. Considering the fact that school wasn't officially open and pre-game planning was short, the Mile High Campus students did themselves proud. With a minute or so to go, Ham ilton leading 34-0 and the chances of their ball club doing anything slim, the large gathering of stu dents were still hanging on, hoping for a score. With this student back ing, plus the support from the townspeople, this could be a "spir ited year tor the Owls. Some of the prize remarks we heard coming out of the Modoc Field stands fallowing Saturday night s game: - ' TOMMY PROTHRO . . . having leader troubles "I thought the Los Angeles Rams were home waiting for the Cleve land Browns. "Too bad that boy didn't get his foot into the ball." Speaking of Bob Heydenfeldt after a 79-yard punt. "Three guys named Joe could coach that team (Hamilton) in the Pacific Coast Conference and not worry about what they are going to do New Year's Day when they played Michigan State or Michigan in the Rose Bowl. Little boy to his father: "Daddy, what makes those guys so big?" For those of you who didn't hear, Bob Heydenfeldt, the pass catching end for Hamilton, who punts as a sideline job, has quite a football background. We had a reai nice visit with the former UCLA all-American end and found him to be a real gentle man. Bob, a two-year starter for (Continued on Page 2-B) Joe Kapp Tops PCC Rush-Pass LOS ANGELES (UPI) Stan ford's sophomore quarterback Dick Norman and Washington State's Bob Newman share the lead in Pacific Coast Conference passing statistics, while Califor nia's Joe Kapp continues as top man in rushing and total offense. tLL figures released following the second weekend of play show Norman and Newman with 24 completions each.

TOW Wednesday, October 1, 1958 KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON Page 1 Sec. B Gomez Says World Series Play Tougher MILWAUKEE (AP) A World Series game is different. The strategy may be the same, the baseball may look like that played during the regular season, but the tension is on a different level altogether. The authority for this opinion is Vernon iLefty) Gomez, one of baseball's greatest pitchers. He is the only man to have won six World Series games without any losses. 'The Series gave me the great est thrill I ever got out of base ball," he said. "I was just as nervous in my last game as I was in my first. Pitching for the New York Yan kees Sept. 29, 1932, he beat the Chicago Cubs 5-2 with Lon War necke on the mound. Gomez wound up his major league career with the Braves, tnen in Boston. Now a salesman for a sporting goods company, he is trim but looks more like a professor than an ex-big leaguer. "1 feel the Series gets you in a different frame of mind than a regular season game," he said. "I don't suppose you are any more careful in the Series than you arc in a regular season game, but you don't have the whole season to make up a mistake it's just sev en games at the most. You have to he extra careful because it's short. "Bad breaks aren't any more a factor in the Series than normally. "Players may act as if it is just another ball game, but a Series game isn't just that. It's a most important one. Not only financial ly for everyone concerned, but in the matter of pride.

NBA Wants Bout Between Top Heavies MILWAUKEE (AP) The Na tional Boxing Assn. today sug gested a bout between Ingemar Johansson of Sweden and Zora Folley of Chandler, Ariz., to pick a "rightful and undisputed chal lenger" for the world heavyweight title.

On the week following the Springfield clash the Pels are off to the sunny southland and a battle with little known Orland, California. "We are doing considerable shift ing around and changing things to try to correct the miserable show ing we made against the Redding club last week. We have to get our offense moving and the line nas to be tightened up. stat ed coach Andy Knudsen, as he watched hip crew run play after play, and then do it all over again. Added to the task of "tightening the line" is a streak of misery, in that the tough Pelican tackle, Nick lnsley, a 180 pound junior, may be out of tiie picture because of a possible cracked shoulder. Insley is currently under observation of physicians and a definite answer on his playing status will prob ably not be available until late this evening. The Pelicans lost a 33-6 encount er with the Redding Shasta Wolves Friday night on Modoc Field to run their win-loss mark to 1-2. In Ihe season opener the Pels were the victim of the Marshfield Pi rates, only to bounce back the next week and bust the Eugene Axemen. The Springfield Millers, under ihe direction of coach Hal Whit beck, also rtand on a 1-won, 2-lost mark, having defeated the Astor ia Fishermen in their opener, then being stopped twice in a row, once by powerful North Bend, 14-6, then by the Beaverton Beavers, 13-6. Whi'.beck, like coach Knudsen, is moving his men around, trying to find and maintain a winning com bination. Pelican players awarded starting jobs for the Springfield test, were not to be named until the conclu sion of the hard practices slated through Thursday evening, accord ing to Knudsen. The Millers posted a starting crew that compares, in weight, very closely to that of the pre vious Pelican first line; 182 on the forward wall and slightly heavier in the backfield at 168. The KU squad has weighed in at 181 in the line and 161 in the back po sitions. , From an experience standpoint the Millers have the edge, fielding a club composed of nine letter men, six of which are seniors. The balance are juniors. The first four replacements are also seniors and lettermen. The Pelican squad spirit, consid erably dampened by the manhan dling handed them by the Wolf Pack, seemed obviously on the way back up during early week workouts. Both coaches, Knudsen and Whit- beck, are entering the coming game with apprehension. The Pel icans and the Millers have a like faculty of being able to come off a defeat and play a different brand of ball. r RADIATOR tSERVJCEf WINTERIZE NOW!
