Tourney; Look Forward
To Winning Season
Wait 'till next year! That was ,
the cry heard after the Grizzlies j
lost 18 of 20 games last year. It
seems that every year that the
Bruins have a losing season,
someone says, "Wait 'till next
year"!
Anyone who said it last year
is not too be scorned because the
Grizzlies are expecting a winning
season for once. This season the
Bruins will combine six Letter
men with better speed and more
height than the years past Ac
cording to the head coach, George
Keil, offensive shooting will be
a main factor as the defense
appears to be in good shape.
Fourteen players vying for
starting berths, including the six
Grid All-Stars
Picked by Coaches
Each year the football coaches
from teams in district 6 Ash
land, Crater, Grants Pass, Kla
math Falls, and Medford pick a
first and second team offense and
a first and second team defense
from the rosters of all the teams.
These players are called confer
ence all-stars.
Offensively chosen from Ash
land wer first team tackle, Jack
Gruber; first team center, Jim
Conklin; first team halfback, Tim
Vofch; second team guard, Bill
Wiley; and second team halfback,
Mike Torresan.
Defensively chosen were first
team linebacker, Jim Conklin;
second team tackle, Jack Gruber;
and second team deep backs, Den
nis Ekwall and Terry Clark.
Picking between the clubs was
fairly rounded with Ashland 9,
Medford It, Crater 7, Klamath
Falls 10, and Grants Pass 12. Ash
land also had 17 men on the hon
orable mention.

Lettermen, are: seniors, Dave Bar
ger, Dennis Ekwall, and Jack
Gruber; and juniors, Randy Nel
son, Dwight Norril, and Kerry
Lindley.
The other eight members are
seniors, Bill Hardy, Rick John
son, Wayne Calavary, Keith Mun
son, and Jim Guescetti, and jun
iors, Ross Coldwell, Terry Clark,
and Tim Voth.
Compared with the other teams
the Grizzlies have a very bright
outlook. Medford has only three
returning Lettermen as coach
Frank Roelandt expects a good
team. Crater has only one Letter-
man, but coach Lloyd Hoffine
says his team has lots of hustle
and desire. Klamath Falls expects
many returning ball players,
while Grants Pass concluded their
football season late and they may
take longer to get in sTiape for
basketball.
". . . if the Grizzlies can bring
to the court the winning confi
dence and enthusiasm shown by
the Grizzlies on the gridiron,
they won't be the patsies of the
conference, but a definite chal
lenger", wrote Dick Richardson of
the Tidings.
Grid Greats

Rounding out their six win,
three lass season, the football

also to SOC.
Bowl Games
Top Vacation
With many surprising finishes
in NCAA football competition
this year, many unheralded
teams will be playing in various
bowl games over the Christmas
and New-Year's holidays.
For Oregon State, that close
win over Oregon was the margin
that put them in the Rose BowL
OSU beat out USC for the Pasa
dena bid on the basis that the
Beavers won one more game than
USC, although the Trojans beat
top-ranked, Notre Dame. Notre
Dame isn't likely to be satisfied
with a nine and one record after
losing the National championship
to unbeaten Alabama.
There will be many bowl games
broadcast over the vacation.
KMED will carry the following
games: Oregon Mate against
Michigan on January first at the
Rose Bowl; the Orange Bowl with
Alabama and Texas; the Sun Bowl
with Texas Tech and Georgia;
and the East West Shrine game.
KTVM, channel five, will
feature: the Liberty Bowl in
which West Virginia and Utah
will battle it out; Mississippi will
meet Texas in the Blue Bonnet
Bowl; the Cotton Bowl, with un
defeated Arkansas and Nebraska;
and the North-South Bowl, com
monly known as the Blue-Gray
Game.
Indeed, there are many college
bowl games for the Rogue Valley
television public over the holi
days; don't miss them.
New Season Brings AAore Predictions
The AHS Predictors are at it again, coming out with some
very contrasting opinions.
The wrestling season takes a break during the vacation re
turning to action immediately after the Holidays. Eagle Point
meets Ashland High January 7. The Bears tangle with Albany
and Corvallis, December 29 and 30 for the basketball action.
The last time our staff predicted, fearless Greg Officer picked
four out of four right, and he (has a 1.000 average. Mr. Silvers,
John Kaegi, and Ken Baker follow as they guessed two of four
correct for a .500 average. Mr. Smith trails the crowd as he correctly
picked one of four for a .250 average. The guest in this issue is
Mr. Gray.
