JON OLSON
Jon Olson, junior, has been
acknowledged as the other
Athlete of the Month for Octo
ber, and also as the second
Runner of the Week.
Jon was chosen for his out
standing work in recent meets
where he has never placed
under fifth, and for his fine
work in practice sessions. His
attitude has helped the team to
a 3-1 record for the season.
touchdown. The score came
when Dave Edwards made a
strong run. Ashland had a
strong offense, "the best I've
seen them play."
The Roseburg game was a
real thriller for the first half.
The score at the end of the
first half was 0-0. The second
half, something happened and
the Roseburg team got on fire.
Again Edwards came through
with the only Ashland score on
a strong run.
Head coach of the sopho
mores, Bob McKenzie said the
team is "defensively improved.
We need a consistent offense
to be pretty tough."
Stiff Competition
The sophomores have met
some pretty stiff competition
throughout the season. The
team now stands 0-5 for the
season. They have probably the
toughest game to come. If they
can mount a strong drive, they
just may come through with a
win.
The team couldn't do with
out the strong running of backs
Pardee and Edwards. Of course,
the team must function as one
solid unit. They must play on
"one for all, all for one"
basis. They have to work as a
whole unit
