Newspaper Page TextThursday, November 14, 1940 West Linn Lions Beat Beaverton THE AMPLIFIER West Linn Dumped By 0. C. Pioneers Cross Country Team To Hold Largest Meet West Linn’s football squad found itself completely unable to stop Leatherberry and Barry of Oregon City in the first half of the annual Mud Bowl classic at Kelly field, and was defeated 21 to 0 last Friday night. Oregon City opened the .attack on the hapless Lions on their first offensive play of the game, with Leatherberry going 55 yards off the West Linn right tackle with beautiful blocking to score standing up. West Linn was un able to get going until the clos ing minutes of the second quar ter, and was stopped by the gun just as the team was starting to look good. The Pioneers scored again in the second quarter with Barry tearing the West Linn line wide open and scoring through center from the five after a concerted drive from mid-field. The Lions made their only ser ious scoring threat of the game in the third quarter when they started out the second half play ing the best football they had during the game. They were held for downs when Chick Elliot’s end sweep from the five was stopped on the one-foot line. The Pioneers scored once more in the fourth quarter on a four-yard sprint off right guard by Lavier. West Linn’s cross country course tomorrow will be the scene of the largest cross country meet ever held at this school, in stand point of both contest ants and teams entered. Teams entering from both Clackamas and Marion counties should swell the list of entrants to the largest group of harriers that have ever traversed the treacherous- West Linn course, conceded by many to be among the toughest in the state. Teams entering so far are Milwaukie, Salem, Canby and Molalla. Coach Fors is grooming his star hill and daler, Bill Holden, with an eye on number one position. Holden’s outstanding perform ances in recent cross country meets have made up in a large part for the majority of the teams inability to place in the money. West Linn’s mighty Lions hit their stride two weeks ago to swamp the Beaverton eleven 20 to 13 on the West Linn field Fri day, November 1. With their aerial attack click ing and a fast powerful running attack, Coach Brown’s boys ran up a 14 to 0 lead in the first half and came back to score in the final quarter when their lead was threatened. Sparkplugs of the game for the Lions were Earle Merkle and Bill Stevens. Merkle had to play almost the entire game at tailback due to Chick Elliot’s absence from the lineup due to a bad cold. Bill Stevens started the scor ing by grabbing a pass from Merkle in the first few minutes of the game and racing 20 yards for a touchdown. Reuben Baisch cracked over center for the con version. ' Again in the closing* minutes of the first half Earle Merkle took the ball and cut over right guard to score from the four-yard marker. Vinton took the ball over for the extra point. Beaverton came back in the second , half to plough through the center of a tiring West Linn line for two touchdowns to make the score 14 to 18. In the final quarter West Linn marched to the Beaverton three. Vinton took A park bench near the drooping willow bough; the ball off the Beaverton right tackle and fumbled just as he A candy bar, a lemon coke, crossed the goal line. Leo Critch- and thou, field fell on the ball in the end The sunshine falling softly in zone for the final six points that the grass, sewed up the game for West My love, I wonder if we Linn. should have cut that class? Forest Grove and —ORPHAN ANNIE West Linn to Meet West Linn will meet Forest Grove at Forest Grove tomorrow afternoon in the Lions’ final league game of the season. Victory for West Linn would assure the team of a tie for first place in the TYV, and possibly a chance to go to the state foot ball tournament. The Lions will be out for vic tory after being swamped by the O.C. Pioneers last week1. West Linn played Forest Grove once before this year. The two teams met for 15 minutes in the Jam boree at Hillsboro at the begin ning of the- season. It is to be remembered that the Lions made a very creditable showing against the other team, heating them 7 to 6 after Forest Grove got the ball on the West Linn 15 at the beginning of the quarter.
