Although the Klamath Falls
American Legion baseball team
initiated its big year quietly
enough, before the season was
ever it had been named the' West
Coast champion, and, for the
first time in history, competed as
one of eight teams from across
the nation in the Little World
Series in Hastings, Neb.
The team was eliminated at
ter two games in the tournament
action but one of the teams to
which It lost went on U become
the undisputed champion of the
world.
From its relative obscurity as
a drawing card, so far as local
fans were concerned, early in the
season, the team gathered momen
tum and followers as it continued
along the trail to the absolute
epitome of youth baseball.
. upon Its return nome tne team
was met with the biggest and
warmest welcome ever accorded
any group in the history of the
town.
The second feature accomplish
ment of the season came in foot-
- ball, and again a certain lack of
attention figured at the start. Only
In case of the Oregon Tech Owl
grid squad which set OTI history
with an unbeaten, untied record,
neither was the team accorded
any -recognition on the national
level as one of the very few
teams in the country to reach
the dreamed -of goal, nor was any
particular accolade handed it lo
cally at the finish. -.
