Herald and News Sports Editor
Klamath Union High School took
Its first step toward the 1959 foot
ball season Friday night as head
coach Bob Williams and assistants
Jim Inglesby and Jack Peterson
issued gear to approximately 60
aspiring Pelican gridders.
Plans to hold physical examina
tions for all boys turning out were
canceled at the last minute and
postponed until Uiis coming Tues
day at 6 p.m. in the Modoc field
bouse. ,
Practices will begin at 9 o'clock
Monday morning and continue
throughout the remainder of the
time prior to the opening of school
on a two-a-day basis; The exact
time for the afternoon drills, has
not yet been determined.
"We were slightly disappointed
t the small turnout," commented
. brand new KU mentor Williams
who recently moved from Lewis-
ten, Idaho to fill the vacancy ere
ated by the resignation of Andy
Knudsen.
"It isn't alarming, however," he
went on. "Many of the boys are
ctill working at summer jobs and
we gave very little notice of the
first call for players. There are a
number of reasons why some of
the boys are still missing.
"According to the records there
are a number of veterans still to
come. Of course, how they will
fit into our scheme of football,
our offense, defense and play pat
terns remains to be seen." Wil
liams added. "As to how strong
we will be and how we shall do in
the coming season, 1 11 have to
say, 'no comment, until we have
had at least a week in which to
work with the boys."
At this time, Williams, who was
also assisted in the equipment is
sue by Jim Johnson, Bob Johnson
and Francis Scapple, had not yet
called out the freshmen hopefuls
Williams noted that he expected
at least 80 varsity contenders to
appear and a like number of fresh-1
men. He mentioned that he had
been accustomed to seeing about
135 varsity players and 100-plus
frosh at Lewiston as school of ap
proximately 900 students.
Among the- varsity lettermen
who received equipment Friday
were backfield men Bill Santo and
soma adjusting of shoulder pads. In the second from left,
tackle Charlton Currin and center Rich Moore, both letter
men, fit themselves with new shoes. Next, coach Williams
and his assistant Jack Peterson, left, check the roster of
boys who showed up for gear on the first call against those
yet expected to appear. At far right, back Bill Santo, left,
co-captain; end Larry Bunyard, center, and tackle Joe Cox,
each a returning lettermen, check gear with a chuckle when
they discover how small last year's suits have become.

NEW YORK (UPI) - Bill Ro-

Saturday; "They can question me

Rosensohn. ousted as promoter
of the return Ingemar Johansson
Floyd Patterson heavyweight tt
tic fight, was so irritated by Fri
dav's long interrogation In the
grand jury room and district at
torney's office that he said:
Some one is lying and mere
has to be perjury in this case,
but I'm leliing the truth.
Rosensohn is being questioned
persistently, as a witness, be
cause of discrepancies between
his story of how he lost con
trol of Rosensohn Enterprises,

cent J. Velella, who wound up
with two-thirds of the stock and

SEATTLE (AP) - To steal a
line from vaudeville, a Strange
thing happened on the way to the
Pacific Coast League baseball
pennant.
A substitute manager named
Alan Strange has guided a patch
work team of Seattle Rainiers out
of the league basement and into
contention for the title.
At last count the Rainiers had
won 14 of their last 17 starts. A
month ago two victories in a row
were considered a winning streak.
They were 11 games out of first
place and appeared to hold an
iron-ciad option on finishing last
So they won 11 straight. Now
they're five and a half games out
of first.
Trying to explain it all Satur
day, team publicity director Edo
Vanni employed a baseball cliche
"they jelled." . .
No one man came up with a
sudden burst of power hitting. The
pitching had been excellent all
vear. Given a lew timely hits by
their teammates the pitchers
started winning, instead of losing
the close ones. Infielders began
substituting rally-stopping double
plays for game-losing errors.
Strange took over the team in
mid-season and mid-slump when
Fred Hutchinson, field pilot and
general manager, quit both jobs to
manage the Cincinnati Redlegs.
Strange was a coach, having
joined Hutchinson as an aide after
a couple of seasons on baseball's
sidelines,.
A quiet, friendly type who had
played with pennant winning Rai
nier teams before the war,
Strange had managed at Spokane
and Bremerton in the old Western
International League. He was
made acting manager when
Hutchinson left, mainly because
he was available.
Very few players remained of
the group that started the season.
Outfielder Gale Wade, infielder
Harry Malmberg and catcher Hal
Bevan still wore Rainier livery.
along with several of the original
pitching staff. Hitters who were
fearsome in the winter book had
faded in the spring, to be re
placed by anybody ohtainable.
The team got outfielders Mim
Dyck from Vancouver, Carroll
Hardy from Cleveland, Paul Pet
tit from Salt Lake City, Bob Thur-
man from Omaha. Infielders Bob
by Adams came in from Miami
Rudy Regalada from San Diego,
Lou Sizas (rom Havana. Farm
hand Cal Bauer was brought up
from Tri-City of the Northwest
League to plug a gap at second
base.
Added to the pitching crew were
Mark Freeman from Denver, Don
Rudolph from Havana, Charlie
Rabe from Toronto, Bob Mabe
from Cincinnati.
'It was like starting spring
training ail over, vanni said
'Once they got oriented they be
gan to win. Speed is a team trade
mark, the pitching is great and
somebody always comes up with
the big hit in the clutch. Strange
is making the most of it.
The winning streak knocked the
'acting" prefix olf Strange s man
agerial title. He is known as
percentage manager who will take
a calculated gamble, with a pitch
ing stalf that gave him one string
of 32 scoreless innings including
a no-hitter by Freeman against
Vancouver the speed, the gam
ble and the timely hit brought
game-winning runs.
Seattle fans who overflowed the
park in Strange's playing days.
have been acting like non-believers.
For 'last Sunday's double
header with San Diego the stadi
um here was nearly 9,000 short o(
its 11,500 capacity.
But if the club can maintain its
momentum, Vanni insisted, the
fans are bound to become Strange
people.

In 1959
MOUNT SHASTA-Head football
coach Fred Nixon states that his
Mount Shasta Bears shape up as
an improved team for the coming
season. Eight returning veterans
will be on the squad with a good
bunch coming up from junior var
sity.
Beside the Siskiyou County
League composed of Yreka, Weed,
Mount Shasta and punsmuir,
which will still be maintained, a
new, organization called Shasta
Cascade League has been formed.
This group embraces all of the
Siskiyou League, save Yreka, and
takes in teams from Trinity, Fall
River, Hayfork and McCloud. This
way it will be possible for one
team to win two championships,
The first game scheduled by the
Bears is at home at 8 p.m. Fri
day, September 11. Their oppon
ents will be Phoenix (Oregon) High
School. It is an exhibition as is
the game with Central Valley,
same hour, same field a week lat
er. .
First league game will be
played at Mount Shasta Friday,
September 25, against McCloud in
the Shasta-Cascade League. It, too,
will begin at 8 p.m.
October 2, the Bears travel to
McArthur where they will tangle
with Fall River in a Shasta-Cas
cade game. Then back home lor a
night game on October 9 against
Trinity, of the newly formed
league. October 17, the only Sat
urday game on the schedule will
take the Bears to Hayfork lor a
p.m. game, which winds up the
Shasta-Cascade schedule, The last
three games: October 23 at Weed;
Yreka here October 30; and Duns-
muir winding up the regular sea
son on November 6, will all be
Siskivou League games, with all
but Yreka also counting in hhasta
Cascade standing. All, except the
Saturday game, will be under the
lights.

Although seven of the top play
ers in the Oregon Collegiate con
ference are lost to the Oregon
Tech Owl football team as it pre
pares to enter the 1959 grid sea
son, the aspect is not exactly
gloomy dn the Mile High campus
according to head coach Rex Hun-
saker.
"We have lost some real good
boys but we also have some good
ones coming back, plus some new
talent. Of course we'll have to
wait and see about the new ones
I guess you could say we'll play
all our games anyway." grinned
Hunsaker, who' is beginning his
11th season as head of the Owl
football fortunes.
Redskins
Dominate
LA Rams
LOS ANGELES (UPI) Some
85,8118 fans shook their heads
about the long and short of the
Redskins, little Eddie LeBaron
and big Johnny Olszewski, Saturday
after they led Washington to a
23-21 triumph over the Los An
geles Rams in the Annual Charity
Exhibition game.
The fans, who turned out to
watch the Rams, and their twe
heralded additions, back Ollie
Matson and Defender Gene Brito,
in their season debut had little
to cheer about in the Coliseum
Friday night. Despite the score, the
Redskins dominated the .ball and
controlled the game most of the
way.
It was two by land, with Olszew
ski carrying the ball, and one
by the air. LeBaron, who chalked
up another sensational night from
the firing line, passed for the
other Redskin touchdown.
The diminutive field general
passed 23 times, hitting his re
ceivers 15 times, good for 223
yards and the one score, a six
yard lob to halfback Dick James
The Washington offense bottled
up Matson, the hard-charging full
back obtained from the Chicago
Cardinals by the Rams in a move
to aid their chances for a Western
Division title.
The Owls, after a highly success
ful, if confusing, 1958 season will
begin 19M workouts on September
8 as per conference rules.
The Techmen romped through
the OCC 1958 schedule with a
4-won, 0-loss record for a league
championship but at the close of
the season, when OTI heads dis
covered mistakes in various eligi
bilities, the Owl 11 abdicated the
throne. Their overall season rec
ord was 6-won and 2 lost, defeats
coming at the hands of the power
ful Hamilton AFB team (.14-0) and
Whittier (Calif.) College 127-8).
The Owls opened the season
with a 6-0 win over Westminster
(Utah) College, whom they host
on Modoc Field in the '59 season
opener on September 19. Next
came Hamilton, then a 31-21 vic
tory over Portland State. They
then rolled over Eastern Oregon
27-6, Southern Oregon 40-0, Moftett
NAB 53-12, and a smashing 68-7
triumph over Oregon College be
fore tangling with Whittier in the
iinale,
All this was accomplished with
the help of team captain Alan

Also missing this year are the
number one and two conference
scorers, halfback Otis foster ana
fullback Earl Green. Foster, a 5-9
162 pound scooter, racked up
points in eight games for the
league title while Green, 196,
ground out 545 yards in seven
games to become the league'i
ing second only to Foster.
Despite the loss of this group of
stars, Hunsaker lists 21 reasons
why he is not, dismayed over the
probable fortunes of the coming
season.
They are quarterbacks Charlia
Ganter, 176, All-Conference veter
an and All-Conference linebacker
Roy Johnson. 182: 1 fullbacks Allen
Leach, 184, the fastest man on the
quad, and Bclton OUison, 186, a

Conference Ardell Hamilton, 6-0,

Koontz, 6-3, 195.
Backing up this formidable ar
ray of veterans are 23 newcomer
to Owl suits, Including some top
high school stars and a few junior
college transfers.
Job assignments for the Owl
coaching staff include veteran lina
boss, George Miller, one of the
most respected in the conference,
brand new backfield director Jim
Cordial, who moved from St.
Helens to replace Ralph Carr, and
Hunsaker. ,
"We may be defending only a
mythical championship but you
can believe me we'll be defending
it," commented Hunsaker. Neither
champion ground gainer and scor- Miller nor Cordial disagreed.
