THE AMPLIFIER
Turnout is Large Hill Military Is
For Wrestling Track Meet Host
Coach Newton of the wrestling
says that the turnout of mat
men this year is the largest West
Linn has ever had, with 42 boys
signed up at the present time.
There will be plenty of veter
ans returning from last years
grapplers, with captain Ed Wood
worth, 145 lbs., and Jack Reams,
135 lb., both three year lettermen.
Johnny Morrison is a two year
letterman in the 95 lb. division,
and second place winner in the
state meet last year. Eldore
Baisch, 125, is another returning
letterman. He took second in the
Willamette Valley meet last
spring. Another letterman who
won second place in the W.V.I.
last year is Don Stockton, who
weighs in at 130.
Les Ream, Bill Thornton,
Scratch Etchison, Gene Vinson
and Dudley Titus all saw action
last year for the Lions. Mr. New
ton is well pleased with the turn
out. All weights are well repre
sented except the 155 and 165
classes which could both use a
couple more men.
Last week on November 20th
Coach Fors and his hill and dal-
ers traveled to Hill Military Aca
demy at Rock Butte to take part
in the Northwest High School
Cross Country Championship,
which is open to any high school
in Oregon, Washington, Idaho or
California.
West Linn’s cross country boys
finished 21st in thé entirb meet
with a score of 376.
Mr. Fors was quoted as say
ing, “we finished better than ex
pected considering that our boys
are largely freshman and sopho
mores.” Coach Fors also stated
that he looked forward to a fairly
successful Cross Country season
next year.
The boys taking part in the
varsity race included Raymond
Yeoman, Donald Wohl, Maurice
Warner, Raymond Scheckla,
Lloyd Englert, perman Evans.
The boys that took part in the
junior high school race were Al

Season for Lion
Cubs Is Good
Basketball Witnesses
a Large Turnout
The West Linn Lion Cubs, last
Tuesday, completed a success
ful gridiron season by trouncing
the Canby “B” string 14-7.
This year the cubs have played
such teams from Hillsboro, Es
tacada, Molalla, Canby, and the
Oregon City Junior High, giving
them an eight game schedule.
Of these they lost only one—that
being to Molalla. The boys im
proved with each game and at
the close of the season were
playing like veterans.
Paced by a backfield composed
of G. W61f, J. Puderbaugh, R.
Green, and D. Dennis, the Cubs
ran up a total of 62 points to
their opponents’ 33. In the line
those *playing stellar ball were
E. Booth, R. Ballieu, R. Elling
son, C. Wilkinson, R. Reid, J.
Gist, and D. Holden. Also play
ing their share of consistent ball
were Anthony, Van Laningham,
Burgess, Silvers, L. Ream, E.
Baisch, and Kelt.
“All the boys gained a much
needed experience and in an
other year or two many of them
should see a great deal of action
on the first string varsity,” stat
ed Mr. Tunnell, their coach.

Basketball practice opened at
West Linn this week with a vet
eran turnout despite the fact
that Coach Brown has lost four
lettermen from last year’s squad.
Brown and Nixon should be
able to assemble an experienced
team from the boys who saw ac
tion last year. One of the main
worries may be the lack of
height on the squad, a condition
that is likely to make the Lions
weak on play off the backboard.
West Linn’s tall man will be
Randall McLaughlin. West Linn
hoopmen are Chick Elliot and
Earle Merkle, lettermen from
last year. McLaughlin, Hoss
Herndon, Harley Fuson, Web
Webster, Bill Walston, Red
Eaden, Harold Ness, and Ike
Ivins all played some last year,
either on the first string or ,on
the freshman team.
This will be West Linn’s first
basketball season in the TYV
league and the Lions will play a
round robin schedule that in
cludes two games each with Ti
gard, Beaverton, Newberg, Sher
wood, Hillsboro and Forest
Grove.
