Santa Cruz Sentinel 9 Petaluma Two Touchdown Favorites To End Hawk Grid Si cem By Mel Bowen was given the edge on the basis of their 59-0 trouncing of Golden Gate 'Athletic Club of Oakland. It was this same Oakland team that the Seahawks downed last week, 14-6 in one of their poorest showings in recent years. However, Seahawk mentor Len Beatie said this morning that his charges are at full strength, with new and added spirit and are "ready to roll." Santa Cruz will be seeking its 12th straight victory tomorrow night, a string which has been strung since 1954. In 1955, the Hawks recorded nine straight triumphs and were rated the nation's top semi-pro team. This season they have downed the Contra Costa Panthers, 13-2 in addition to their win over Golden Gate.

As far as the Santa Cruz-Petal-uma rivalry goes, the Seahawks hold the edge at three games to two. The strength of the Hawk edge lies in their two wins in 1956. In 1951, Santa Cruz won, 24-20. In 1952 and 1954, Petaluma triumphed, 23 6 and 32-6 respectively. Although on the short end of the win column, the Leghorns have outscored the Hawks 89-70.

Earle Bennett, publicity man for the Leghorns announced the following players will probably coo ontirTi 4nmnrrnw ntrtht fnl ihtt State. In the line, Don Shaugh-nessy is the big standout, a guard from Utah State Strong point of die local team has been their defensive play. They held Golden Gate AC to a minus 31 yards total offense. But the offensive punch the Hawks had in 1956 seems to be missing. However, this should pick up, too.

Joe Urm, and Sammy Williams have been out with illness and are expected to be back in action. Ulm is a fullback from San Jose State and illiams played behind Paul Larson at California and also saw action as a halfback. Bob Scofield, former Santa Cruz Cardinal and Hartnell star, will be back in action, as ill Fred Fehn. Beatie gave Scofield and Fehn permission to miss last week's game to go deer hunting. Beatie said Fehn and Scofield The Petaluma Leghorns were established as two touchdown favorites this morning to even up their rivalry and stop the Santa Cruz Seahawks' winning streak at 11 games.

Santa Cruz will make its first road appearance on the new season tomorrow night in the North Bay city at 8:30 p.m. Petaluma had been planning the trip practically all summer and he could see no harm in their missing the game because of the weakness their opponent. Later he said, "It almost was a disastrous move." Beatie also announced Fred Blanco, former Monterey Penin- sula college back who made all conference honors in 1955 ha turned out for the team and will start tomorrow at offensive full. -back. home team.

Fred Bock, who paced the attack against Golden Gate, probably will be at one halfback spot. He was a Little AH American at Wheaton College in Illinois last year. Besides him, Petaluma has two top notch quarterbacks in Ed Pet-tit of the University of Idaho and Dick Storm of San Francisco uny Leogyer cromeinf Friday, August 9, 1957 Imeet So At :3 Salmon Are 'Hot' UPTRAIL, DOWNSTREAM By Harvey Boyd Kick It In lO' ji 1T 17 ill at 1r KSCO To Air Game Jerry Baptista To Pitch First District Contest For Santa Cruz All Stars By Mel Bowen The Santa Cruz Pony League All Stars will meet the Sacramento All Stars tonight at 8:30 o'clock at Ukiah, it was learned this morning. At 6 p.m., Marin plays Ukiah. Acting manager Charles Marcenaro, substituting for Art Watson who was unable to make the trip- announced this morning that right hander Jerry Baptista, who Monday saved an Area August is a magic month in California.

Somehow, when the buck hunter gets his first licks in, we know that even bigger things are in the offing and the hunter's moon is due to rise. Sure, summer is still with us, but look at these harbingers of autumn: Acorns are the size of a man's thumb. A few steelhead are in the Klamath and the Trinity, and in the distant north, the earliest silver salmon are showing up along the coastline. Somehow, we know the magic of fall is just scant weeks away, and we can feel it in the sunsets, and in the rustling of dry leaves. And if you feel this season tugging at you, then by all means, head up north, and try for little steelhead on the Klamath.

Because when you feel the weather calling, then there ii no other urgency that cannot wait, and the only way to cure this wanderlust is by wandering. A man can fish for steelhead in the Trinity these days, and not feel foolish. Because some salmon are there now, near Willow Creek, and surely behind them will be the egg-eater steelies, or half-pounders. 'Small for steelhead, yes, but mighty large as trout, when compared to the local products we've been dealing with the past few months. vi)ififMiiviiii m- i ii mm ia w.ummm w.wn wilil.HlwaBMnvwwiR if III t.

It :4 I 6t'' U. 1 17 If II 4 4 ti t)i i riA i 1 iff) ti -JXi ill These half-pounders are not thick yet, but there are enough to make a trip worthy of the driving. And the limit is still 15 fish, or if a man gets lucky and can hang a big one, then the limit automatically becomes ten pounds and one fish but who could gripe at luck like that. Yessir, there is no other urgency like the call of autumn, and even though it's early, a man is bound to answer. Local fishing is having tips and downs, and at the low end of the see-saw are salmon, which are as flighty as a leen-age romance.

Some days they do nothing but cooperate, and then, for no good reason, they refuse to strike, and even the finest anglers head home skunked. Those finicky fishermen, the who hate the thought of ending a safari, with the comment, "Oh well, it was a nice trip anyway," Those guys are sneaking off to the Sierras for some fair to middling trout fishing at the higher elevations. Honestly, some of the fishing pressure has eased off the major rivers, and the boys Mho understand light tackle, and size 16 flies and 4x tippets, have been doing nicely. But as always in these hot months, it takes many a lean year of fishing in the past, to gain the knowledge that pays off today when streams are crystal clear, and the trout have been angled for by many an expert during the past few months. The happiest guys in camp these days are buck hunters who had at it this past weekend in the northern counties.

Lake county, and Napa have glowing reports on hunter success for the opening days. Like we said last week, this could be a banner year. Feed is excellent, and hunters who both hit and missed 'em, say there is a bumper crop of bucks. Best bet of the summer season continues to be the old reliable rockfish, which have given oceans of sport to an some fancy kickin? during the first round of the World Championship of Golf Touraey at Tarn O'Shanter Country club yesterday. Alice took a birdie four on the hole.

(AP Wire, photo) OOO Merchants In State Tourney Game Tonight By Mel Bowen The Santa Cruz Merchants soft-ball team departed this afternoon lor their second appearance in the state softball tournament at North Sacramento tonight, when they meet Scrto Painters of San Jose in the quarter finals of the winners' bracket.

Wayne Richards pitched all the way. Richards and southpaw Doug Kranich will be ready for firemen rolls if needed Serio's scored a 31 win over the Merchants in. regular season play. Their strength lies in their pitching with Pete Saunders, Bud. Bosque, Dick Gwinn and.

One team, Sacramento Burgies, the old Coca Cola team that won the state championship In 1955, already has advanced to the semi's. However, the Burgie team and Santa Cruz will not collide next weekend but on August 24, if they both win August 11 and 18, respectively, Burgies defeated Sport Shop of Monterey Sunday, 2-1. The Merchants next weekend will meet the eventual winner after three games have been played off this weekend, if they win tonight.

These teams include Contra Costa district's second place team, Sacramento-Yolo's second nine, Napa and Petaluma. If the Merchants lose tonight, they would drop into the losers' bracket for a game Friday, August 16 at 10 p.m. Their opponent here is undetermined, also.

But Sid Woods, takes all prizes. In addition to the 10 and 13 pound stripers which he landed from San Lorenzo point this week, Sid also hooked and landed a 3 pound steelhead. This flurry by Sid Woods sure pulled the trigger on fishing activity at the point, and it is almost crowded there. Everybody wants to know what lure Woods used to haul 'em in, so hold tight.

It was that small, gold wobbler given by Gillette in the Father's day package of razor, blades and compact fishing kit case. Look sharp, feel sharp, be a sharp fisherman.
