PELICANS 14 MEDFORD 16 The first defeat suffered by Klamath High in high school competition was by the Medford High Tigers. Louis Thurman. Medford quarter-back, turned a faltering last quarter touchdown drive into a victory for the Tigers when he booted a field goal which gave Medford a 16-14 win over the Pelicans. PELICANS 6 GRANTS PASS 18 The Grants Pass Cavemen, overlooked by Klamath in pointing, made up for the slight by running rough-shod over the Pelicans 18-6 and scoring two other goals which were nullified by penalties. In the third quarter the Pelicans took the ball on the 50-yard line; and, aided by two penalties, pushed over their lone sixpointer. PELICANS 14 EUREKA 6 After two defeats in succession the Pelicans took a change of heart and charged head first into the Eureka football squad for a win of 16-6. In the first quarter the Pelicans scored with a long pass from Love to Anderson. A pass from Love to Reginato brought another score in the third quarter. In the last quarter twelve players for the Klamath team were found to be on the field. There were two fullbacks, but the extra Pelican was quickly removed.. PELICANS 0 BEND 7 Byers, 190-pound full-back, was the driving force of a blue and gold steam roller from Bend which crumpled the Pelican football team 7-0 Twice in the closing minutes the Klamath Falls eleven fought its way beyond Bend’s 15-yard line, but a fumble on the first and an incomplete pass on the second ended the two threats.
