Huskies Plan
To Stop Kapp
SEATTLE (AP) - To cope with
Kapp and California, Coach Jim
Owens has outlined a youth move
ment for his Washington Huskies
in Saturday's Pacific Coast Con
ference football game.
He will sacrifice weight and ex
perience in the line in an effort
to get the speed and agility that
might check Joe Kapp, Califor
nia's quarterback and the confer
ence leader in total offense.
Washington is the last road
block, minus one, in the Bears'
drive toward the conference title
and the Rose Bowl game. They
wind up against Stanford next
week.
Despite California's top rating
in the conference and Washing
ton's basement residence, the
Bears are favored by only one
touchdown. The equalizer could be
the wet, cold day in prospect. Se
attle has had a damp week and
the temperature is expected to
drop below the freezing mark Fri
day night.
Forewarned the Bears prac
ticed on a watered field during
the week.
Owens listed six sophomores and
only two lettermen in his tentative
starting lineup, with a lino aver
aging only 189 pounds against
California's 200. The lettermen are
Don Armstrong at guard and
Bruce Claridge at end.
The kickoff is scheduled for 1:30
p.m.
Beavers, Indians
Set For Teevee
SAX FRANCISCO UPI It
will be Stanford's T against the
Oregon State single wing on
NBC's regional television game of
the week Saturday. The telecast
will start at 1:45 p.m. p.s.t.
NBC said Thursday that the
Beaver-Card contest had been so
lected for vVcst Coast fans. The
game will be a crucial one for
the Beavers since a loss will
knock them out of the Rose Bowl
race.
high school football. . . . This
hasn't been my best season. What
I should do 1 guess, is write my
choices on a slip in disappearing
ink, then stick it in the farthest
corner of my desk drawer . . .
and keep my mouth shut. Then
when the week's play was over I
could pull out the slip and . . .
well, how would your prove it?
Factually. Medford holds the
edge. They have already beaten the
Pirates once. However Marshfild
coach Pete Susick has a distinct
aversion to being beaten twice in
the same season by the same team.
The clubs are playing at Med
ford: the "experts" say that is
good for seven points for the home
team. Susick says "We are two
touchdowns better than Medford."
Medford coach Fred Speigelberg
says phooey or words to that
effect.
Some more facts: Medford tied
Grants Pass. Grants Pass tied
Marshfield, Marshfield scored six
points on Grants Pass while Med
ford got blanked . . . and then
we are back to the thought that
Medford beat Marshfield. Confus
ing isn't it?' There are some that
say. that Grants-Pass got robhed
against Medford: they say that
Jack Dean was into the end zone
for a Caveman TD. The officials
say he wasn't.
So . . . you pays your money
and you takes your choice. . . .
All we need now is for the two
clubs to battle to a scoreless tic.
It could happen.
Tomorrow afternoon the Merrill
Huskies take to the gridiron to do
their best to start a victory skein
that will lead to a State B foot
ball crown. The first step is Mau
pin . . . then comes Umatilla
or Joseph. A win over Umatilla
or Joseph will boost the Huskies'
into the State B finals.
The Huskies have come close
a couple of times over the last
two years . . . this time they fig
ure to go all the way.
If Merrill downs Maupin, and It
appears that they should, the semi
final game will be played here
. and that every sports fan in
the county should plan to see.
Believe me it is a pleasure to
watch Haskins, Mauptn and Co. at
work.
Pelican coach Andy Knudsen is
planning to use a single-wing at
tack next year. From where we
sit it appears that he will have
the "horses" to do it up nicely.
The frosh and this year's Jay-
vees are showing all the signs.
This doesn t necessarily mean,
however, that the Pelicans are go
ins to be a district champion next
year. Medford, Grants Pass and the
surprising Crater Comets are keep
ing most of their best men around
for another season and each one
of the three schools has designs
on the title. It does mean, though,
that the Pels will put a much
better scrap, all along the route.
Our turn is coming.
i
Traffic in the sports area will
be getting thick again in the
not too distant future ... a month,
say. The Pelican cagcrs will play
twice a' week, as will the OTI
Owls; all the county schools get
in two a week, and then of course,
I don't know how many city, com
mercial and church basketball
leagues will be under way. All
this not counting the Southern Ore
gon Conference wrestling program.
Speaking of the wrestlers, KU
coach DcLance Duncan has Issued
gear to 80 matmcn and would-he
matmcn already. Duncan heads
for Ashland Saturday and a meet
ing with other conference coaches
to set forth the scheduling for
competition through the coming
season.
Later in the month Duncan plans
in attend a series of wrestling clln
ics being held al the University
of Oregon by Duck mat coach
Mike Reutcr.
If the rumor was true that the
Henley-Phoenix game was attend
ed by college 'scouts interested in
two or t h r e e Hornet gridders, all
that can be said is that the timing
was poor. Both for the Hornets and
the scouts. The Hornet loss
stemmed from a way below aver
age performance . . . and of course
it had to come in their last ap
pearance. One has to seriously doubf, how
ever, that any scout would form a
really conclusive opinion as to a
player s abilities off just one show
ing. It's a good possibility that said
scouts may have just gotten an
other look before the last game

Los Angeles Today
LOS ANGELES Oregon Tech's Owls were expected to ar
rive hero this altcrnoon, prepared to close out Iheir 1958 football
season against the highly-rated Whittier College Poets at Whitticr
Saturday night.
The Owls will set up headquarters at the Figueroa Hotel in

ramento where they'll spend the night. The team will arrive back in
Klamath Falls Monday afternoon.
Whittier, the defending Southern California Collegiate Athletic
Association champions of last year, and favored to win the crown
again this season, rules a slight favorite over the Techmen, who
will bring the pennant of the Oregon Collegiate Conference to town
with Ihcm. Both teams carry a 6-1 record into the game tomorrow
evening.
This is Ihe Owls' final play pf the season. Whittier plavs one
more game, the next Saturday against Redlands in the "showdown"
meeting of the SCCAA season. The Poets are expected to win that
game. too.
Coach Rex llunsaker reported his team in good physical con
dition with the exception of Ardell Hamilton and Charlie Wilson,
who may not see action in the finale. The bumps and bruises picked
up in last week's 53-12 win over Moffctt Navel Air Station seem to
have healed.
Radio Station KFLW will broadcast the game for football fans
in Klamath Falls. Air time has been scheduled for 7:45.
Thursday atternoon the Merrill
Huskies put the finishing touches
to a week-long sharpenina-uo pro
cess then headed north this after
noon to transact a little business

Third Major League
Confronts Baseball
NEW YORK (APl-For the first
time since the Federal League era
nearly half a century ago organ
ized baseball was confronted today
with the threat of an independent
third major league.
New York City, virtually
abandoning hopes of obtaining a
National League franchise, set in
motion the drive for the new
league.
Baseball officials, already faced
with such problems as controlling
television, antitrust inquiries and
collapsing minor leagues, met the
surprise move with generally
skeptical comments. Even baseball-minded
people in major-hungry
minor league cities viewed the
proposal warily.
Baseball Commissioner r ora
Frick said, "Baseball is not going
to be sledge-hammered."
Frank Lane, general manager
of the Cleveland Indians, quipped,
"First I think they have to catch
one team before they can catch
eight."
But it was this inability of the
nation's largest city to catch a
team to replace the Giants and
Dodgers that touched off the latest
bomb.
William Shea, chairman of Ma
yor Rober Wagner's committee
on baseball, announced at a press
conference Thursday that the
committee, convinced that it is
getting nowhere in its bid to land
a National League franchise,
would start negotiations for a third

HAVANA (AP) New length

transformed California's Bob Ros

ment threats on the professional
golf tour.
"I was in pretty much of a
slump until I got a new driver
just after the Masters Tourna
ment last spring," the pudgy for
mer Stanford student from Palo
Alto said, "and things have been
going well ever since."
Rosburg, who has won $25,000
this year, carried a one-stroke
lead today into the second round
of the $45,000 Havana Internation
al Tournament.

would like to see the league

current majors, bu added that he
leit New York had run into a blind
alley in efforts to acquire an exist
ing National League franchise or
gain one through NL expansion.
He accused NL President Warren
Giles of evasive action.
The concept of a third maior
league is not new. Frick is for it.
Most of the club owners favor it.
But the general feeling is that the
time is not ripe, and there are
no sufficient players or adequate
playing sites available.
About ten days ago," said
Shea "I received a visit from an
important National League execu
tive, whose name I cannot divulge
Me assured me that if New York
were willing to lead the way in
the formation of a third major
league, he could put me in touch
with people who are eager and
financially able to promote big
league oaseoaii.
Shea said these groups of in
terested persons were in Houston,
Dallas-Fort Worth, Atlanta, To
ronto, Denver, Miami, Minneapo-
lis-St. Paul, Detroit and several
other cities on the West Coast.
Shea added:
"If New York is in, we have re
ceived- assurances from these
other cities that they will be in.
Shea would not say specifically
where the money or players
would come from to establish the
new league, but he did say New
York City vas ready to build a
ball park on the site of the 1939
World s Fair in the borough of
Queens and that "responsible cit
izens" in each of the cities men
tioned were ready to put up from
314 to 5 million dollars to start a
team.
The mayor's representative also
said the possibility of raiding es
tablished major league teams for
player material would have to be
considered if Ihe majors did not
cooperate.
This brought a strong retort
from Frick, who said, "As every
body knows I favor keeping New
York open for a National League
club, but baseball is not going to
be sledgcd-hammered into putting
a team in New York because of a
threat of a third major league.
Baseball has not had. a third
league since 1914-'15. Then the out
law Federal League raided the
majors and cost them close to a

Six games, including three in
class A-l, will open the Oregon
high school football championship
playolts Friday.
The first round will wind up
with eight more contests Satur
day.
The class A-l opener sending
Marshfield to Medford for an 8
p.m. date will be a replay of one
of the toughest contests of the
regular season.
Unbeaten Medford, its record
marred only by one tie in eight
games, defeated Marshfield 3-0 in
that one on a late field goal by
Mike Murray. Marshfield finished
the season with a 7-1-1 mark.
Medford has yielded only one
touchdown this year, that to
North Salem, which it defeated,
21-7. Medford also had a potent
offensive, sparked by halfbacks
Dick Ragsdale and Jerry Lyons
and fullback Skip Bennett. It is
the fifth straight playoff appear
ance for Medford.

ninth playoff in 12 seasons, has a

REDWOOD CITY. Calif. (API
Marv Matuszak, a linebackine
star in 1957 but a failure this
year, has been released by the
San Francisco 49ers to make
room for a castoff.
The slumping National Football
League club made the surprise
announcement Thursday. To re
place the five-year veteran, the
49ers picked up Jerry Tubbs, an
Oklahoma All-America who was
the Chicago Cardinals No. 1 draft
choice two years ago. Tubbs was
placed on waivers this season.
Matuszak, obtained from Pitts
burgh last year in what the 49ers
said was their best trade, report

He had suffered a knee and
shoulder injury but recovered and
started in Sunday's 56-7 loss to
Los Angeles. Asked for comment.
Matuszak snapped, "I'm disgust

Coach Frank Albert said Tubbs.
