cttellan Jet Invasion
Could Prove Rough Jest
A descriptive brochure contain
I n g miscellaneous information
about the McClellan Air Force
Base Jets, who appear Saturday
right in a non-conference game
with the Oregon Tech Owls on Mo
doc Field, gives only a small hint
of the power of the invaders, it was
learned Tuesday;
A long distance telephone call
made by Owl mentor, Rex Hun
taker, proved it.
An early report had it that the
fliers had been beaten by Santa
Clara last weekend and thus had
had a five-game undefeated skein
snapped. The call revealed that
the Jets had dumped the Santa
Clarans 28-8 and so remain unde
feated for the season.
Boasting a starting assortment
of players that is far and away
the heaviest that the Owls have
faced since the Hamilton AF eleven
was here last year, the Jets are
led by quarterback Gil Bettez, the
ex-Boston College ace. The small
est man on the squad at 175
pounds, Bettez scored one of the
Jet TDs against the Broncos on a
five-yard dash and completed a
15-yard pass to reserve end, Handy
Gray. 185. for another. The other
scores were obtained oft a four-
yard romp by reserve back Ellis
Harrison and a 15-yarder by half
back Willie Steele.
Both Harrison and Bettez arc
reported adept passers but the Jet
attack also counts heavily on the
ground.
In collecting their six wins over
such teams as Moffett NAS, US
Naval Air, Treasure Island, Ala
meda NAS, San Quentin, and the
Broncos, the McClellan eleven has
amassed 158 points while allowing i
the opposition only 32.
The offensive forward wall of
the Jets, a Mutt and Jeff situa
tion, features three men 6-5 and
over. Jim Thompson, a 250-pound
right end, stands, 6-5, right next
to him at the tackle slot is another

Victory
By HAROLD CLAASSEN
NEW YORK AP Why did
they increase the width between
the goal posts in college football?
Well, the reason is that certain
wide-beamed forecasts should be1
booted out of the end zone
because they were unable to pre
dict that Ohio State would handle
Purdue and that Pittsburgh would
be. handled by West Virginia last
weekend.. i
Sailing between the posts with
the greatest of squeeze, here are
this week's winners, with the un
derstanding that the forecasts are
no better than a week end ago
when the average was .708 on 34
winners in 48 decisions:
Louisiana State over Florida:
The Bayou Bengals rarely do:
more than they have to, but the
formula seems to work. So the
pick is Billy Cannon & Co. again.
Northwestern over Notre
Dame: One of these days this
Notre Dame team will jell and
make everyone look silly includ
ing the foe on the field. But not
this weekend.
Texas over Rice: This is pure
suicide. But one must stay with
that Texas speed in the line and
Rene Ramirez.
Mississippi over Arkansas: Our
Memphis operator says these two
teams are as good as any in the
country, but that Bobby Franklin
makes the Rebels the choice.
Southern California over Stan
ford: The Trojan blockers hit like
a wooden horse.
Syracuse over West Virginia:
The . Mountaineers' . season ended
with that victory over Pittsburgh.
Auburn over Miami: With rela
tive ease.
Oregon over Washington: Be
cause the Webfoots handled the
Air Force with such ease.
Purdue over Iowa: But it will
be close.
On the other side of the line Is
left end Bob Davis. 6-3, 220 pounds
and tackle Ray Gonzales, 5-8, 210.
At the guard slots, each at 190. are
J. A. Eirp, 5-10, and Leon Garding,
a 5-9 All-Stater from University of
Montana.
Teaming with Bettez and Steele
in the offensive backfield are full
back Sid Brown, a 220-pounder and
speedster halfback Eli Ireland, 185.
One note, included in the bro
chure, states "many of the Jet
players have been offered good
football jobs to commence upon
their separation from the service."
After taking Monday off after
their bruising game with the al
most too-determined SOC Red
Raiders last weekend, the Tech
men returned to the practice field
Tuesday night.
The first session was a speedy
hard, short drill that was spent
primarily on passing" and pass-re-cpiving
drills.
Missing from the session was
conference high - scorer Allen
Leach who was taken ill Tuesday
morning.
Returning, however, was half
back Al "Tiger" Everson who has
completely recuperated from a rib
injury suffered two weeks ago.
Fullback Stan Glass, the focal
point for the Red Raider de
fenseman last week, is suffering
from numerous tender spots but
is expected to be in shape for the
McClellan hassle.
In the SOC game both Glass and
quarterback Roy Johnson played
defensive positions for the first
time in the current season.
The Pelican Booster Club
meeting scheduled for the Chuck
Wagon Restaurant at 6:30 this

mentary will accompany the

Also planned is a pre-Spring-Held

Blattner,
Diz Dean
At Odds
PHOENIX UPl "I never
pushed anybody around except
them hitters."
That's what Dizzy Dean said
today about Buddy Blattner's
claim Dean pulled strings that
caused a rift between the two
television "Game of The Day"
announcers.
Blattner quit the show Tuesday
with the comment, "Diz can be
charming but he likes to push
people around. I had made up
my mind he'd do it to me only
once."
Blattner, Dean's partner for sev
en years, was making plans tor
a show of his own. He said Dean
got their sponsor to keep him
co-broadcasting the Milwaukee
Los Angeles playoff game in Mil
waukee with George Kell.
I don't understand why Buddy
went to the papers with his com
plaints," the former National
League pitching star said at his
home here.
I believe I'd have called Bud
dy if I had something to say to
him...There's a lot of people
that'd like to be pushed around
for $75,000 a year for 48 ball
games.
Dean denied he prevented mat
tner from doing the playoff game.
"I wanted to get back to Phoe
nix myself," he said. "It was
dove season and time was wast
ing. The agency we work for had
me stand by but when details
couldn't be worked out I came
home. I didn't .even see Buddy
after we said goodbye in Chicago."
The Millers, who were edged 7-0
in the final minute of play against
the rated South EUgcne Axemen
last Friday, average 177 across
the starting offensive loreward
wall, and 170 in the backfield. The
Pels hold the edge in the pound-
! up front but are considerably
lighter in the backfield.
In other action Friday night the
only Southern Oregon Conference
game scheduled is a clash between
the Central Point Crater Comets
and the Cavemen at Grants Pass.
