FRI., NOV. 13, 19G5 ROGUE NEWS PAGE THREE RiecSfor STdBflBUS d, KDammatlh) Claw IB Arch Rival Edges Bruins The Ashland High School Grizzly gridders lost to arch rival Medford in the annual Homecom ing tilt 3 0 recently. In both the first and second halves the Hears seemed cursed with bad luck. They lost the ball five times in the first half on three fumbles and two pass inter ceptions. After the half, the Bruins were able to hang on to the ball, but were hurt on two successive roughing the kicker penalties. The fans showed their disapproval of the calls both times. Score Not Story The Tornado went into the eon- test with a perfect record of six wins and no losses. They had battled to some close final scores, and had one eye on their upcom ing game with the Grants Pass Cavemen. The Grizzlies have not beaten the Medford squad since 1947, and felt that they had the best chance in years to down the Tornado. Ashland won the pre-game toss and elected to receive. Three plays after the kick-off, Ross Coldwell had a pass intercepted and the P.iq Wind had possession of the ball inlruin territory. The teams batted back and forth for the remainder of the first quarter with the Bruins launching one sustained drive which moved the ball from their own 20-yard line to Medford's 25. On the second play after the Bears received a punt, lady luck frowned once more on the squad and a fumble gave Medford pos session on Ashland's 20-yard line. The Big Wind smashed into the Bear line three times but was un able to get the score after a first down. Bill Collins booted a 22- yard field goal for the only score of the evening. Stopped Dead Both clubs battled back and forth for the remainder of the first half but neither team was able to mount a sustained drive. The Grizzlies kickedoff for the start of the second half and stop ped the Big Wind dead until a roughing the kicker penalty re newed the drive. The Tornado was again stopped cold, and again a roughing the kicker penalty gave the spark for the Medford itcs to continue. For the third time in the drive, the Medford squad was forced to punt and this time there was no penalty. Starting from their own 25 yard line, the Bears moved on several good plays to the Medford 24 and then attempted to open things up with a series of pass plays. On fourth and 11 Coldwell threw a last ditch attempt to split end Kerry Lindley. The ball was slightly overthrown and the Bruins' attempt to "overcome" had fallen short. 4 4 TACKLED HARD Tim Voth is being tackled hard by a host of Medford players. Tex Willis, 30, is ready to throw a block for Voth. Medford players are Ken Martin, 60, Bill Scofield, 74, Phil Jahn, 89. Brums Outseore Grater 19-14, Senior Week Win CENTRAL POINT The Ash- lond Grizzlies "rose to the occa sion" last Friday night as they made the second annual "senior week" a success. The Bruins downed the Crater Comet foot ballers 19 13 for their first con ference victory and fourth place in the league. Only a few miles away the Medford-Grants Pass struggle drew over 10,000 fans, limiting the crowd at the Grizzly-Comet game. But before a few spirited fans, the Bears came from behind twice to nab the victory. For Crater the loss meant occu pation of the league cellar for another year. It was last year that the Grizzlies stopped the Comets 18-0, giving Ashland third and the Comets last. It was the first time in 15 years that an Ashland team had made it two winning seasons in a row. Ashland turned the trick in 1949 and 1950. Ashland ended the sea son with a 5-4 record. Last year the Bears gained a 6-3 mark. TD Called Back The game started with the Bears kicking. Ashland forced Crater to punt and started their first drive of the night. A Tim Voth TD was called back, then with 52 seconds left in the quar ter, Terry Clark hit Ron LeBlanc with a pay-dirt aerial. Tex Willis missed the point after and the score read 6-0.

Both teams began battling back and forth in the second quarter until the Comets got a drive mov ing late in the period. After a roughing the kicker penalty and face-mask infraction, Darrell Kiger moved the ball into pay dirt and Gerald Branch kicked the extra point and Crater took a 7-6 half-time lead. Late in the third quarter Ash land again began to move the ball. Voth put the team ahead once again with 1:30 on the clock on a two-yard plunge. Rick Wad- dell's extra point boot was wide and the board read 12-7 for Ashland. Get Fumble After giving the ball back to the Bears following the Ashland score, the Comets picked up an Ashland fumble on the Bruin 17 yard line. The Bruin defense held Crater for three downs but on fourth and 17 to go, Greg Beman connected with Bill BuckholU. The fullback picked up a good block and went in for another go-ahead score. Willis then got the nod from the bench to prove the Ashland determination. The big fullback cracked into the Comet line time after time, making long gains with under seven minutes left in the game. With the ball resting on the seven-yard line, Voth hit Kerry Lindley with a pass for the win ning score. Waddell toed the point after and the score stood at 19 13. Klamath Pelicans Overcome Bruins; Fourth Bear Loss The Ashland High School Grizzlies dropped a 15 6 decision to the Klamath Union Pelicans recently. The loss evened up their record at four wins and four losses. The Bears, who have not tasted victory since its 640 rout of the Sweet Home Huskies three weeks ago, were again plagued with offensive "hardening of the arteries." On several occasions the Grizz lies had drives going which car ried them deep into Pelican ter ritory only to be bogged down for the important yardage. When the ground game was not moving, the Bears took the air and had fair success with three out of six passes completed. But again, the correct combination was not to be found by the squad. AIIS Limited A quick look at the game sta tistics shows some of the prob lems which Coach John Gray and his squad faced. The Grizzlies were held to 31 offensive plays while allowing the Pelicans to run 63 plays. Fumbles and pass interceptions also played a big role in the Kla math Falls victory. The Bears were especially bothered in the air lanes during the fourth stanza of play. Voth Scores Ashland's only score of the evening came during the first period of action on a 26-yard run by Tim Voth. The kick failed. Toward the end of the opening period, the Pelicans picked up two points when Tex Willis was dumped in the end zone for a safety. Minutes later, Klamath Falls' quarterback Rick Brosterhous rambled six yards for the Peli cans' first TD. The extra point plit the uprights and the Kla math squad took a 9-6 lead with them into the dressing room.
