December 16, 1966 Generals travel to Franklin tonight by Mike Hoffman Winless in its first 2 contests, the Generals will face 2 other low division teams this week in Franklin and Jackson. Led by Bob Lovlien, Brodie Birch, Vance Putnam and Ed Croft, the Quakers will host the Generals tonight. “We have 9 boys who are near ly equal and if they take hold, we’ll be right in there,” specu lated Coach Don Nelson. Only one of those 9 is under 6 feet, but the Quakers still were beaten by Jefferson 76-54, and Madison 57-44. Playing its first varsity season and with no seniors, Jackson so far has had the worst offense, 79 points, and defense, 164 points, in the league. Only 6 players turned out for basketball, but 2 are fine sopho mores, Mark Riley, 6’1”, «and James Gentry, 6’2”. Other Raiders slated for ac tion are Dixon Ingalls, John Da vidson, Mike Purcell and Bob Gannon. Raider Coach Paul Poetsch sets this season’s goal as learn ing, with 4 of the 6 on his team sophomores. Wilson topped Jackson, 80-38, in its first game and Jefferson trounced the Raiders, 82-41. Leo Franz and Steve Turner led the Generals in their opening losses to Madison 66-45, and Washington, 88-62. Franz scored 16 at Madison, while Turner hit for 20 against the Colonials.

Sprinter Onia Bates selected Oregon 'Athlete of the Year' by Mike Hoffman Onia Bates, senior, has been chosen 1966 Oregon high school A-l athlete of the year in track, as a result of his outstanding ac complishments as a junior. “One often hears the critics minutes, only 2.5 minutes slower than a mile runner. The walking contest was in troduced to the United States in the 1870’s, according to Mr. Hackenberg. PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS express the opinion that such an honor should be given to a sen ior athlete, . . . but in the final analysis we could arrive at only one candidate who had truly earned the award on ability and performance,” stated track’s Who’s Who in 1966. “Bates has turned the century in 9.5 seconds and sped the fur long in 21.1. His 21.1 around the curve is roughly equivalent of 20.6 in the 220 if run on the straightaway,” continued the publication. “This makes him one of the highest ranked prep runners in the nation this year.” Besides school records in the 100 and 220, Bates has set the 180-yard low hurdles record, 19.6; long jump, 23’6”, and 880- yard relay, 1:28.3. Last January, he sped to a 6.2 second time to win the 60-yard dash at the Portland Indoor. by Mike Cochrane With one victory and a third place showing in the Milwaukie invitational tournament, the varsity wrestlers will try to im prove their record as they bat tle West Linn high school there at 4:00 p.m. today, in what will be the last of three pre-season exhibition matches. Sporting a 1965-’66 record of 5 wins and 6 losses in Tualatin Yamhill Valley league action, the Lions will be facing a tough General squad. They have no return ing district or state cham pions. West Linn Coach Stan Schwa- bauer was pleased with the number of boys he had turn out for wrestling this year. Of the 39 who have turned out, 18 are seniors. “Prospects look good,” commented Coach Schwa- bauer, of his team’s prog ress. He hopes to have at least one boy in each weight at the varsity level by the league opener. In their first meet 2 weeks ago, the Generals lost a match to Beaverton high school in a meet that saw only 4 Generals come out of the battle victorious. Coach Robert Shewbert, how ever, was impressed with his team’s showing, especially two freshmen Gene Kerns and Kel lum Marshall. “Although they lost their matches, they both did a tremendous job,” commented the head mentor. He also cited Chuck Kerns, Wayne Crawford, Gene Brown and Cliff Rose as all doing great in their individual matches. They were the only 4 to win against the Beavers. A change could come about in the Generals’ line-up if Dennis Semler wrestles at 178 lbs. That would move Ron Brown down to 168 lbs. and Ivory Nicholas would be moved down a notch to the 157 lb. class. In the Milwaukie Invitational Tournament held last Staurday at Milwaukie high school, Grant placed third behind Milwaukie and state champ Corvallis. In dividual champions for Grant were Randy Boone, 123 lbs.; Chuck Kerns, 136 lbs.; Don Sor- ber, 157 lbs.; Bob Pendergrass, 178 lbs.; and Bill Lott 98 lbs.

Jacobs. Besides cross country, Steve competes in the sport of race walking, and during Thanksgiv ing he traveled to Berkeley, Cali fornia, to compete in a 5-mile event. He won with a time of 43:23 “rather easily.” Earlier in the fall, Steve com peted in Seattle and recorded times in the top three standards' in the United States for his age. “For the year of 1966, Steve 1 seems to be the best in the coun try,” says Jacobs. “The 1968 or 1972 Olympic Games may give him a chance to represent the United States. In order to gain speed, com petitive walkers developed the “heel and toe” method. A long stride lands the foot on the heel and he thrusts forward quickly to put weight on his toes. The toes act as a springboard for the next stride. Part of the foot must be on the ground at all times, according to Jacobs. “An ordinary walker covers a mile in 12 to 15 minutes,” ac cording to World Book expert Richard Hackenberg. “A heel ♦and toe expert can do it in 6.5 THE GRANTONIÄN Bank Americard FREE PARK AND SHOP STAMPS Lloyd Center Eastport Plasa
