' i Prospects Fair For Henley Club Coach Len Weber begins his fifth year as head coach of the Henley Hornet football team this season and he will be looking for his first title in the Rogue League in a rebuilding year. The Hornets were fortunate to have a very fine team last year but unfortunate in that they were beaten out of tlie title by Phoe nix. They had a strong club in a year of strong clubs around the league. Weber, however, isn't crying any big tears because lie thinks his Hornets can give someone some trouble this season despite all the big losses he suffered by graduation. He has 12 lettermen back and some who lettered on the Jayvee club. But some of those lettermen were second stringers last season who got into the game after the fine first Hornet unit rolled up the score. Some of the top letter men include Dick Johnson, a 6-4. 220-pound tackle. John Riggs will be the most experienced on the team. He is a 190-pound senior three-year guard letterman. Lyle Bergstrom will be back to snap the ball from his center position. lie tips the scales at 180. Don Berry is another letterman guard with three years experf ence. He weighs 165. Bolh Berry and Riggs, however, may be pusned hard to hold their nosi lion by a 180-pound transfer from Denver, Roger Vargo. He was an all-city guard at Denver. Dave Lindland is another let terman at tackle at 177 pounds Elton Schiro poses a pass catch ing threat to opponents from his end slot. He lias two letters and is 6-1 and 175. Steve Rand is a 5-6, 135-pound letterman quarter back who will be pushed by jun ior Bugs Lewis. Lewis also is a point-after specialist. The Hornets got a big break in that they got a transfer in Kim LARRY JONES L Jones Selected PR Man Larry Jones has been appoint. cd executive director of tlie Ore gon Stale Bowling Proprietors Association. The appointment, an nounced by Ihe board of direc tors, is effective immediately. In this position, Jones is respon sible for Ihe public relations ac tivity of the stale organization as well as all promotions and na tional tic-ins including the forth coming All-Star Tournament.

Prior to joining the staff at Lucky Lanes, Jones had exten sive experience in radio, televi sion and promotion including sales and sports announcing.

He is a 5-10, 170-pound runner w ho w as one of the best in the Klamath County League at tlie end of the season last year as a sophomore. He will be joined by rred Rodriguez, 127-pound bundle of dynamite, at halfback. The other halfback spot is filled by the able LeVoy Young. He was one of the finest halfbacks in the league last season and should be the best this year.

The Hornets have only two non conference games before begin ning the rugged Rogue League schedule. They battle Chiloquin in the opener at home Sept. 13. Then they go to Mount Shasta for another non-league game on Sept. 20. Then comes Sacred Heart, Illinois Valley, Rogue Riv er, Lakeview in a homecoming game, St. Marys and Phoenix. There are no open dates for the Hornets in the nine-game slate. Coach Weber reports that the Hornets haven't been shut out since Eagle Point pulled the trick in a 12-0 game in 1958. Since that time the Hornets have scored at least six points in 38 straight games and hope to keep that streak intact. tne Hornets are zb-14-i since Weber became the head mentor in 1959.
