It used to be that a guy hard working shii ts ritcr in particu lar) got a little lime off between sport season, liiii no more. One runs right into the other so we of the sports department of the Fourth Estate have no time for vacations. . . . We just got back last Saturday frum New Mexico where tile lo cal Babe Uuth team was compet ing in the World Series and had to go to work on football which began last Monday. Someone said, "take your vacation before bas ketball." Well, that runs into loot ball etc., on the other sports. First, let's talk a little about (lie prospects of the Klamath Un ion football team belore going back to reminisce on the World Series where the locals made such a fine showing and impression. What we are aboul to write is strictly our own feeling and doesn't necessarily reflect the feel ings of the coaching staff of KU. But to these eyes, this year's edi tion of the Pelican lootball team looks pretty decent. The coaches may think the same, but we don't want to put them on the spot. What is at first more noticeable than anything else is the fact that there is a great deal of spirit about the players. The second thing is the way they appear to be hungry for football, body con tact and a chance to get into some real action. In short, this looks like a group of kids who like the game of football, not a game for sissies, and like the win ning feeling. That is a great per cent of the battle there There is some beef and speed to go along with this spirit and de termination. There were quite a few lost bv graduation and some losses which will hurt like the loss of fullback and defensive guard Hon Hitchcock. But there are oth ers on this team to take in and fill those spots. Some of the beef comes from big Bill Mills who came into drills at about 2:10. The work may have dropped him some now. Don Plow man, a mate at tackle with Mills, is about 213 or so. .Mike Hitching is 193 at the halfback spot. There are others with size. The spaed comes from Hitching and Chuck Mills. Chuck was injured and missed all of last season with a broken leg. He has worked with weights and is up to 165 and his legs are in great physical shape. He has been a terror in early go ing. The loss of last season served to make him very eager for this season. There are others who will be mentioned many times before the season is over. Coach Bob Wil liams may end up with three or four quarterbacks. He has his son Bob Jr., a sophomore. Bob Moore Jr.. another sophomore, senior John Parisotto all fighting for the spot and all appear pretty even at this point. Randy Smith, last year's .IV signal-caller, is the fourth working at that spot. The Pelicans will he jumping WHOA THERE, PARDNKR An unidentified Pelican football prospect latches onto the shoulder pads of quarterback Randy Smith during a scrimmage Friday as teammate Glenn Miller ( both on defentel comes up to lend a hand on dropping Smith for a loss. Scrimmage sessions since Wednesday have brought out some fine olay by several players. They are making ready for the opener Sept. 13 against Grants Pass and also the Chicken and Beans or Red and White qame this coming Satur day night at 7 o'clock. jerry waggoner riRhl Into the fire when they open the season at home on Sept. 13 against Grants Pass In non- conference game. Grants Pass will be an opponent twice this season. The Cavemen lake the place of Marshfield which had to drop be cause of the realignment. The Cavemen should have one of the finest backfields in the state. They have back Richard Ire land, the speedster, Terry Isa- bell, and another speedster in Gary Van Koten. Klamath fans will remember those three from last season. And Tom Sparlin is back to quarterback the team. There is a rumor, and rumor only, that Isabel! is now at Medford. Medford has 118 candidates out for Ihe football sport again and will be as rugged as usual and anxious to defend their slate champion ship. Another note on the football team is that season tickets will soon be on sale at the chamber of commerce. Those wno held sea son tickets last year get the first shot at them again this year and should renew them if they haven't already done so. Those wishing to renew the reserved seals should contact Jim Johnson at TU 4-7395. Season tickets for the Ore gon Tech Owl games are also on sale at the Owl Athletic office. Those tickets are $10, but that covers, also, all the basketball games and wrestling matches, a savings of $15.50. Call TU 2-3566. Ext. 68. The Pelican reserve seals are $6. It would be worth it to get them now because it looks as if both schools will have fine teams. ..The Owls are much more opti mistic than last season. Coaches Ron Pheister, Larry Burleson and Howard Morris are hopeful if all the lads they have had promise to come show up for the first drills Sept. 9. The prospects list ed by the coaches read big, fast and like a winning season if they all do show up. We about ran out of room for the reminiscences on the World Series in Farmington, N.M. But we will have a feature section in the Sunday edition next week, so watch for that. We did, however, get to make tne trip ana wed like to say Ihat the local Babe Ruth team had nothing lo be ashamed of. Thev won their first eame over JoDlin. Mo.. 3-1. Thev lost in the! second contest. 9-2. lo Tulsa, Okla Tulsa went on to whip the very good looking Puerto Rico team in the finals for the title. 9-0. A little southpaw named Eli Gourd gave the local lads only four hits and two runs with his big curve. He dished out six hits to Puerto Rico and they didn't score oil him. The Basin team was eliminated from thc tournament by Oakland, Calif., a group of "hot-dogs" who became the tournament's most dis liked team on the opening night. The locals didn't have it against them as Bobby Moore lost his con trol. But it was still a line show- liiMlnsiiej PELICANS PREPPIN& FOR OPENER This shows some of the rugged contact that the Klamath Union Pelicans have been goinq through the past week in making ready (or their opener against Grants Pass Sept. 13 on Modoc Field. Here linebacker Bob Moore (dark jersey) gets the Pelicans Season; By JERRY WAGGONER Herald and News Sports Editor The spirit is running high, the body contact hard, and the ten sion strong on Wright Field where the Klamath Union Pelicans are drilling for their opening game Sept. 13 against Grants Pass. Coach Bob .Williams and his staff now have worked the pros pective Pelicans for a week, and have made the first cut. They did so Thursday after a pau' of scrim mage sessions. They sliced the varsity squad to 42 players. Wade Patterson again is assist ing Williams. He took over the duties as line coach and defensive coach upon the resignation of Lar ry Mine wno went into tne nusi- ness world. A pair of newcomers, are on thc staff- 0nc Dick Bu" mala, is helping Williams and Patterson while the other. La- Grande Weaver, is working with Jack Peterson and the jayvee team. There are 19 lettermen from last year's squad back and one more letterman who is back but won't be available for another three weeks. He is quarterback Walt Smith. Smith was in a car accident and has a broken left hand which is healing. The doc tor says no contact work foi another Lhree weeks which will put him considerably behind. The lettermen are ends Tom Day. John Jendrzejewski. Les Thurman, Dan Workman; tackles.

Bob Bunyard, Jim Patzke, Pat O'Con- nell, John Parisotto. Bob Moore. Bob Williams, Randy Smith. Ran dy Howard. Brad Finch, Ernie Badger, Tom Diver and Buddy Lummus. Coach Williams seems quietly optimistic about the chances of the Pelicans. However, he realizes the opposition thc Pelicans are up against. He thinks this should be a good year for Grants Pass with its fine backfield in Tom Sparlin, Gary Van Koten, Richard Ireland and Terry Isabell. Med ford will be strong as usual.

Crater lost Mike Glines and with him a tre mendous threat. Williams has been scrimmaging some in the pasl three days and some are showing quite well on both offense and defense. The running backs looking good have been lettermen Mike Hitching and Chuck Mills. Hitching is big and fast at 193 and Mills runs almost as hard and some shiftier at aboul 160. Ben Herns, Vei n Petrick and Rick Guslafson also have shown some fire. Defensively, a group of the Red" linemen have been tremen dous.
